The gray-black Gobi Desert is full of messy gravel. Occasionally, there are weeds or shrubs growing among the gravel. They are all low and squat, as if they are bent over and crawling on the ground, surrounded by life. The pressure was so heavy that I couldn't lift my head.
Looking into the distance, near the northwest horizon, the towering barren mountains are just a long black shadow between the sky and the earth. In any other direction, you can only see the blue sky and black earth. As the distance increases, the sky gradually becomes less and less bright. Blue, the ground gradually became less dark, and in the end the sky was gray and the ground was gray. The misty grays were connected together, and it was impossible to tell where the sky was and where the earth was.
This is the Great Gobi, one of the three major deserts on the main plane.
On this continent called the "Main Plane", there are many large and small deserts. Three of them are particularly large, located in the northwest, northeast and southeast of the continent.
The northwest area is called the Great Gobi, which is characterized by a large number of rocks. Besides, except for the central area of the desert, most areas do not actually have much sand and are dominated by gray-black gravel barren beaches. There are many violent sandstorms here. Once the sandstorm called "Black Storm" is set off, even the legendary strong ones will have to flee. Because of it, the barren mountains in the west and the wilderness empire in the east are completely cut off. Only the businessmen who are most fearless of death dare to try to cross it with the help of weather observation spells in order to seek huge profits - although most of them are in After setting off, there was no news and no trace was seen again.
The one in the northeast is called the Death Meteor Desert. This desert is somewhat long and narrow. It is distributed along the coastline, adjacent to the Dragon Mountains to the north, and to the Blue Moon Kingdom to the south, which just separates the Kingdom of Holy Angels from the sea. It is said that a long time ago, this desert did not exist in the world. The army of the Holy Angel Kingdom and the army of the Sea Tribe fought fiercely on this narrow coastline. The gods of both sides also died one after another. After an earth-shattering battle, hundreds of miles along the coast were transformed into A gray-yellow desert. To this day, people often see huge skeletons and broken weapons in the desert, and many terrifying monsters appear in it. This is where the names "Death" and "Death" come from.
The desert in the southeast is called the Golden Desert, and it is the most harmless to humans and animals among the three deserts. There are neither terrifying sandstorms nor terrifying monsters here, just blue sky and golden sand. The sand is so fine that it shines like gold in the sun. Standing on the edge of the desert and watching the sun rise or set from the horizon connecting the sky and the sand is a world-famous beauty. However, this desert is extremely barren, and there is almost no water source in the desert. Even if there is a spell to determine the coordinates and not get lost, thirst and heat alone are enough to be fatal.
If Sui Xiong wants to go to the Secret Tower Federation, he must first cross the barren mountains, then pass through a section of the Great Gobi Desert, follow the Graystone Mountains all the way south, pass through the Ancient Wooden Wild Swamp, climb over the Duanyun Mountains, and then pass through the Taikoo Forest, and then to arrive.
This road is full of dangers. Normal people who dare to walk like this will definitely get tired of life. Even experienced adventurers will change their colors after hearing this. Under normal circumstances, the most reliable way to get from the Mystic Tower Federation to the four northwest towns is to take a boat out to sea, sail along the coastline, and finally switch to land travel in the north of the Gold Coin Federation, pass through the gap in the south of the barren mountains, and reach the Black Sea. Mai Town.
But that path involves a huge circle, and sea voyages also come with many risks. Although Sui Xiong is not afraid of risks at sea, he is also not afraid of risks on land. Anyway, his way of traveling is to fly rather than walk. The impact of the rugged road on him is very limited, so after some consideration, he still chose to walk in a straight line. .
After all... a straight line is the shortest between two points.
To walk in a straight line is the exclusive right of the strong.
Sui Xiong's incarnation floated about a hundred meters in the air, flying slowly and slowly towards the south and slightly east. Every once in a while, he would stop, cast a spell to determine the current coordinates, and then move on.
He was going to a small city in the west-central part of the Mystic Tower Federation called Golden Tower. The reason why it is called this is because there is a golden magic tower standing in the center of the city - the Mystic Tower Federation is essentially a federation of towns built around the magic tower. The residents here are all servants and disciples of the mages. And those who can serve as officials, even if they are not spell casters, are relatives of the caster. This is where the name "Land of Mages" comes from.
But that was back when the Federation was founded. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, today's country of mages is no longer so pure, and has many more bureaucrats and nobles.
For example, the relatives of a certain senior mage must always gain a position of power. There must always be a place for the disciples of a certain legendary mage's disciples. The previous generation has worked hard, and the next generation should naturally inherit the position of power...
Satan was originally a talented young man in Jinta City with a bright future. But ever since he had a conflict with a young man who had no mage talent but had a grandfather who was a high-level mage, his future became bleak. After living a life full of obstacles, he finally gave up the illusion of peaceful development in his hometown, left his hometown, and became an adventurer.
That was already... almost ten years ago.
Ten years of wandering and adventure allowed him to bid farewell to his youthful youth, grow into a young but experienced adventurer, and step into the realm of an intermediate magician.
But if he had not been forced to leave his hometown, it might have only taken him five years to grow to his current level.
When he talked about this, it seemed at first glance that he had put aside all the past grudges, but Sui Xiong could clearly feel the resentment and unwillingness in his heart through the induction of his soul.
After all... His only mistake in that incident was that he helped someone he shouldn't have helped and disturbed the young master's fun.
Satan did not tell these things, but since he had believed in Sui Xiong, his heart was defenseless against Sui Xiong. When those unforgettable past events came to his mind like a tide, Sui Xiong didn't even have to pry deliberately. I saw that scene clearly.
So, he secretly made a decision to take advantage of this trip to help his followers understand their grudges.
No, even if Satan is not his believer, now that he knows about it, he will not ignore it.
If the road is uneven, someone will step on it; if things are uneven, someone will take care of it. If no one can take care of it, then the jellyfish god can take care of it.
Well, the jellyfish god is about to take action.
Probably because of his very good luck, Sui Xiong had been flying in the sky for almost a whole day and had already reached the edge of the Great Gobi. After all, his route did not need to traverse the Great Gobi, but only passed through close to the edge. .
The setting sun on the horizon has already set, losing the warmth of the sun, and the temperature on the ground is dropping rapidly. The dark nights in the Great Gobi are no less cold than the ice fields in the north.
However, the dark night has both disadvantages and advantages. In this cold night, most dangerous poisonous insects will fall asleep, and the most dangerous sandstorms rarely occur at night. As long as you are careful to be careful about the monsters that come out at night, it will be safer to travel at night. .
Sui Xiong floated quietly in the air. In fact, he did not need to rest, but his long-term habit made him still like to rest when night falls and enjoy the sleep that is indispensable for human beings.
The moonlight is good tonight, and the floating jellyfish stretches its body as far as possible, taking advantage of the rest time to fully absorb the moonlight. Around it, magic power formed a huge vortex. This vortex collected all the magic power within hundreds of meters around it. If any creature with magic vision looked towards the sky, it would definitely be startled by this strange sight.
For Sui Xiong, this is not only a rest, but also a meal, and it is also a practice.
Just as he was enjoying his rest quietly, he suddenly heard the sound of chasing and running on the ground. Following the sound, I saw a group of panicked people being chased by a man in black riding a unicorn Velociraptor.
Sui Xiong was stunned, and was about to rush to save people, but stopped again.
He noticed that more than one of the people who were being hunted had strange necklaces hanging around their necks. The necklaces were made of bones connected in series. The person surrounded by everyone, who was obviously the leader, had a strange necklace hanging around his neck. The necklace is clearly made of human fingers!
The tentacles of the soul unfolded, and in the sight of the god, Sui Xiong saw weeping souls, entangled in those necklaces, wailing and unable to leave.
"Hunters... believers of the God of Hunting and Slaughter. Evil men who prey on humans, many of whom work part-time as killers..." As a common evil force, Sui Xiong recognized those guys at a glance. The origin of this - after all, the "Hunter Necklaces" around their necks are too obvious evidence, and no one with adventure experience will admit it.
Although Sui Xiong has no adventure experience, this evil organization is also mentioned in the information about the God of Redemption: they are the most ferocious among the followers of the God of Hunting and Slaughter. They believe in the absurd view that "only by hunting the same kind can you please the gods" and are keen on Killing fellow tribesmen and holding cruel blood sacrifices. And the necklaces hanging around their necks are the remnants of the victims they killed and sacrificed. With the help of the power of this necklace, they bound and tortured the souls of the deceased as a symbol of honor and power, and derived several powerful spells from it.
There is no doubt that even among villains, the "Hunters" are among the most ferocious and terrifying. Since they met today, Sui Xiong didn't intend to let them see the sun tomorrow again!
The man in black who was chasing them was not a kind-hearted gentleman. Although there was no ghost of injustice lingering on his body, according to the special spell "Eye of Camp Identification", it showed a bright and vigorous red color, and he was obviously a violent man. A ruthless character who is aggressive and kills countless people.
By the way, when you look at those "hunters" with the "eyes of camp identification", what you see is a surging blackness, turbid, and simply disgusting!
Sui Xiong guessed that the scene happening in front of him was probably a drama often performed in the underworld - gangsters eating gangsters.
