The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the sun was blazing like fire.
The climate of the desert was absolutely cruel. The scorching sun, the scorching air, the huge temperature difference between day and night, and the imperceptible quicksand traps made the Desert of Death worthy of its name.
But this deadly environment was only for ordinary people. For demons from the Abyss of Hell, it was nothing. Even if it was hot here, could it be as hot as the ubiquitous magma in the Abyss?
However, although the desert environment was nothing to Roy and the others, they still encountered trouble.
The first problem was naturally the sunlight. Although the light of the sun had no lethality to demons, it was the nature of demons to hate sunlight. Roy was the same. He always felt that his body was very uncomfortable after bathing in the sun, and he could not lift his spirits. On the contrary, Julia and Fat Tiger were slightly better.
As for the second problem, it was an emotional problem. What kind of concept was a desert of over a million square kilometers? To put it bluntly, even if Roy and the others relied on flying, they might see the same scene even after flying for an hour. Other than endless yellow sand, there was still endless yellow sand. This monotonous and unchanging environment could easily make people feel irritated and tired.
Roy was tired of flying in the air and could not help but roar 'Desert Camel' in the sky. Not to mention, after roaring, he really felt a little better.
Julia flew beside him and listened to him sing. She could not help but ask curiously, "This should be a human song, right? I thought you were like the other demons, only knowing how to sing low arias or dark battle songs … I didn't expect you to sing human songs too. "
"Do you think it's good?" Roy asked her with a smile.
"It's terrible! It's like … it's scratching my heart! " Julia thought for a while and gave a pertinent evaluation, causing Roy's smile to freeze.
Goodbye, my career as a KTV mic hog … Roy thought dejectedly.
Indeed, although it was rare to hear demons sing in the Abyss, there were indeed such things as demon songs. However, demon songs were usually composed of all kinds of cadence roars, and demon language was rarely mixed in them. If you saw a demon constantly making unknown sounds, don't doubt that it was definitely singing!
What's more, the song was definitely not "nervous" …
Demon songs were torture to humans, mainly because of the frequency of the sound. It was impossible for a demon's voice to produce pleasant sounds. Not only was it rough, but sometimes it sounded like nails scraping against glass. If ordinary humans heard Demon Songs, it would cause symptoms such as neurasthenia, mental disorder, hallucinations, and so on.
Roy's voice was naturally no exception. Now, he basically said goodbye to karaoke …
"Julia, sing me a song?" Roy suddenly thought, Although you're a fallen angel now, your voice shouldn't have changed, right? How about Angel's Song? "
"Can I sing?" Julia was stunned for a moment before shaking her head in embarrassment. "Even if I can sing, I've completely forgotten how to sing those songs …"
"It's okay. Just hum!" Roy looked at her expectantly and encouraged, "Improvise!"
"Okay, I'll try …" Julia could not stand Roy's gaze and could only agree. Flying in the air, she prepared for a while, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and began to hum softly.
At first, Julia's voice was very soft, but slowly, she let go, and her voice began to become louder.
In fact, the moment she opened her mouth, Roy was fascinated by her voice. Roy did not know how Samael had shaped Julia's body, but Julia seemed to have perfectly retained the voice of an angel!
Ethereal, vast, and beautiful. There was also a power that struck directly at the soul, causing people to feel an inexplicable shock after hearing it!
Julia's song echoed in the desert, as though the heat had subsided. The originally violent wind and sand became gentle, and fine gravel danced in the wind … Even though Roy was a demon, he felt the beauty of this voice!
Roy stared blankly at Julia and listened to her hum this impromptu tune without lyrics. He could not return to his senses for a long time.
"How is it?" Julia asked Roy embarrassedly after she finished singing.
Roy sighed. "It's indescribably wonderful! No wonder humans are willing to get close to angels. This kind of angel song is simply a killing weapon for humans. Even I almost got addicted to it … Perhaps in the future, when I go to a human world with developed technology, I can help you record a record … "
Fat Tiger, who was beaming with joy, also barked three times in agreement with Roy's words. It seemed like he also liked listening to Julia sing.
However, Julia smiled and shook her head. "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I heard that the singing of angels can't be recorded by human science and technology!"
"Is that so? Forget it. You'll sing for me in the future!" Roy said to her with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Julia became even happier. She giggled and rushed over to kiss Roy.
Seeing this scene, Fat Tiger immediately became depressed. He whimpered and complained, wanting to reject this True Dog Food Technique …
After finding something to do, they could at least relieve the loneliness of the journey. During the day, Roy and the others flew hundreds of kilometers in the desert. When night was about to fall, they were a little tired, so they immediately decided to stop and rest when they saw a small oasis.
There were very few oases in the Desert of Death. Most travelers who entered the Desert of Death died of thirst before they could find an oasis. It could be said that every oasis was very precious. Roy and the others could fly, so it was easier to find these oases.
In this oasis, there were some tall cacti and palm trees. These green plants looked so refreshing in the endless yellow sand. In the center of the oasis, there was a small pool. After Fat Tiger landed, he could not wait to run over and drink water by the pool.
Roy and Julia did not need much water, but after landing, Roy discovered a strange phenomenon.
"Did you notice that it's quite quiet here? There doesn't seem to be any living creatures …" Roy said to Julia.
With Roy's reminder, Julia also discovered this abnormality. Logically speaking, it was impossible for an oasis in the desert to be so dead silent. There was a water source here, and it should be the most lively place in the desert. But there was not even the chirping of insects and birds here, and there were only the whimpering of these plants in the wind.
Although it was strange, after checking around and finding nothing, Roy and the others did not pay much attention to it. They planned to rest for a while and wait for the sun to set before taking advantage of the night to continue their journey.
Not long after, the sun sank under the sand dunes, and the Desert of Death welcomed night. In the pure night sky, stars began to twinkle, and the temperature began to drop rapidly, quickly becoming cold.
This huge temperature difference was unique to the desert, and Roy did not care. Now that there was no sunlight, Roy became more spirited in the night. He had rested enough, so he whistled and called Fat Tiger, who had been playing in the water, back.
However, not long after Roy whistled, he heard Fat Tiger's exasperated roar coming from the pool!
Roy and Julia looked at each other and realized that something might have happened, so they immediately spread their wings and flew over.
When they arrived at the pool, they found that short floating figures had appeared around Fat Tiger's enormous body. These shadowy figures were actually besieging Fat Tiger!
Their attack method was very strange. They directly crashed into Fat Tiger, but after crashing into him, they directly passed through the other side of Fat Tiger's body!
Fat Tiger's exasperated voice came from this. Every time these guys passed through his body, Fat Tiger felt his strength disappear. When he counterattacked these floating figures, his huge claws swung out, but they often could not attack the enemy and instead passed through the enemy's body!
"Damn it, those guys are ghosts!" Julia was the first to react. She immediately pulled out her fallen angelic sword, and black flames burst out from it. She charged to Fat Tiger's side and slashed at a floating ghost!
Under the flame sword, Julia's attack worked. Although her sword passed through the ghost's body, the black flames ignited the ghost. With a wail, the ghost was devoured by the flames.
Julia's attack inspired Fat Tiger. He no longer swung his claws and bit with his mouth. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat out a wave of fire at the ghosts in front of him!
This wave of fire instantly eliminated a large number of ghosts, but soon, a large number of ghosts emerged from the ground to fill in!
Although Roy did not participate in the attack, he saw how these ghosts appeared and immediately realized that these ghosts had drilled out from the ground. There was probably something underground.
"Fly!" Roy shouted at Julia and Fat Tiger. After seeing them spread their wings and fly into the air, Roy immediately pressed one hand on the ground!
With a sizzle, countless black electric arcs appeared in Roy's palm. These powerful electric arcs instantly spread out and covered the entire oasis. The ghosts that were drilling out of the ground and those that did not have time to fly up with them all turned into ashes after being touched by the electric arcs …
After dealing with most of the ghosts with a big move, Roy and the others began to clean up the remaining ghosts. After clearing all of them and seeing that no more ghosts appeared, Roy and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the ground of the oasis began to tremble slightly. The sand on the ground flipped up, and then skeletal arms broke out of the ground!
Skeletons! A large number of skeletons! These skeletons that drilled out from the ground densely occupied the entire oasis, and there were probably thousands of them …
Roy finally understood why there was not the slightest aura of life in this oasis! It was because this was simply a land of the undead. After the sun set, the undead here would appear and destroy all living creatures …
