"Nao, well done. Since Orochi has already exposed its strength, let's maximize its usefulness and expose more things in the Federation," the middle-aged man said to the young man standing beside Orochi.
The young man turned around. She was dressed in a samurai uniform and had her hair tied up. She looked calm and heroic like an ordinary woman.
"It's best you call me by my full name, Uesugi Nao," Uesugi Nao said.
The middle-aged man's expression stiffened slightly as he continued with a cold expression, "However, it's best you know your limits. It's fine to gather intelligence, but we can't let anything happen to Orochi."
"I naturally know what to do," Uesugi Nao said indifferently without looking at the middle-aged man.
"I hope you really know what to do." The middle-aged man snorted coldly and left.
The entire Federation was discussing how to defeat Orochi and teach the overseas devils a lesson. They wanted to let them know how powerful the Federation was.
Now, the pressure wasn't only on the Cape family and the Family Clan of Gods. The other families also felt the pressure.
"Orochi has multiple attributes. It has a high resistance to ice elements and is extremely strong. The most terrifying thing is the destructive power of its tail. It can slice through almost everything. The owner of this Orochi is very smart. He chose the Ice Elemental Fairy Queen, who is most restrained by Orochi, and snatched fourth place. While having a high ranking, it also makes Death of the Underworld, which is the most restrained against Orochi, unable to challenge it due to its high ranking, "Xia Dongyue said as he looked at the Xia family's analysis of Orochi.
Xia Xuanyue said, "Brother Chuan's Companion Beast is the most suitable to deal with a Companion Beast like Orochi. However, he went to the Southern Border with Dugu Ge and Zhang Chunqiu. I'm afraid he won't be able to return anytime soon."
"There's no rush. Someone will be more anxious than us," Xia Dongyue said with a smile.
The others Xia Dongyue mentioned were naturally the Cape family and the Family Clan of Gods. It wasn't a big deal if they lost to the same hero family.
However, no one was more anxious than them to be humiliated by the overseas devils.
Zhou Wen and Liu Yun had already entered the desert. This place was more terrifying than Zhou Wen imagined.
Due to the influence of the dimensional storms, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert increased. During the day, the temperature reached nearly 90 ° C. It was enough to roast a person, but at night, it was so cold that it froze.
Furthermore, there would often be terrifying sandstorms in the desert. According to Liu Yun, the desert's terrain would change with the sandstorms, along with the dimensional zones.
It was very likely that they would be in a dimensional zone after the sandstorm.
"Don't worry. With an experienced person like me around, you'll be able to seek fortune and avoid calamity in the desert. You won't lose your way, nor will you fall into a dimension because of the sandstorm." Liu Yun's injuries were almost healed. He sat on the turtle's back and introduced the desert to Zhou Wen.
Although the desert's temperature couldn't harm Zhou Wen's body, it still made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. Even with a sunshade, he still felt extremely hot.
The weather in the desert changed abruptly. Just a moment ago, it was still a scorching sun, but in the next second, dark clouds appeared on the horizon. In just a moment, half of the sky was covered.
The sun was covered, and the sky darkened.
"No good. It's a sandstorm. Why would we encounter a sandstorm here?" Liu Yun's expression changed.
"Didn't you say that even if you encounter a sandstorm, you won't fall into a dimensional zone?" Zhou Wen asked Liu Yun.
After the dimensional storms, the sandstorm became especially terrifying. However, the power of the sandstorm wasn't enough to threaten the safety of Epic experts. What they were most afraid of was the sandstorm sweeping through the dimensional zones, causing them to fall into them.
"Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems." Liu Yun clearly didn't sound confident.
Although Zhou Wen could tell that Liu Yun wasn't confident, he had no other choice at this stage.
The black sandstorm arrived in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, the terrifying storm caught up to them and swept them into the black sand that filled the sky.
Liu Yun summoned a wind-elemental Companion Beast that transformed into a windmill and stood on the turtle's head.
Strangely enough, the terrifying sandstorm blew on the windmill, causing it to spin faster and faster. However, the sandstorm around them seemed to be absorbed by the windmill, preventing it from affecting the two people on the turtle's back.
In the sandstorm, they couldn't see anything. Even Truth Listener was affected, and its range was greatly reduced.
"Do you hear anything?" Zhou Wen suddenly asked Liu Yun after the turtle advanced in the sandstorm for more than an hour.
"No, did you hear anything?" Liu Yun immediately tensed up. He pricked up his ears to listen, but he didn't hear anything.
"I seem to hear a woman crying, but I can't hear it clearly," Zhou Wen said to Liu Yun as he listened attentively.
"A woman's crying? Listen carefully. Did you hear wrongly? "Liu Yun's expression turned ugly.
Zhou Wen focused and continued listening, but there didn't seem to be any more women crying. After listening for a while, he didn't hear that sound again.
"I knew it. You must have heard wrongly." Liu Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Wen shake his head.
The terrifying sandstorm blew for more than ten hours. After the sandstorm passed, it was already the morning of the next day. The sun had just risen, and the temperature hadn't risen too much. The surrounding air seemed to be much better and had a moist smell.
"See? I told you that with me around, you can come and go as you please in the desert. It's impossible for you to fall into a dimensional zone," Liu Yun said smugly.
As Liu Yun spoke, he stood up and looked into the distance. His expression suddenly froze.
Zhou Wen knew that something was amiss. He stood up and traced Liu Yun's gaze. He saw an ancient city appear in the desert ahead.
The ancient city was made of a kind of topaz stone. Under the sunlight, it shimmered with a jade-like yellow light, like the rosy glow of dawn.
The ancient city's architectural style was very strange. It was different from the ancient city in Zhou Wen's hometown. The city gates and building roofs used a large number of arches.
Zhou Wen narrowed his eyes and carefully sized it up. He saw the words "Netherworld City" engraved above the ancient city gate.
This name sounded ominous. Zhou Wen turned to look at Liu Yun and asked, "Is this Netherworld City the only way to the Endless Sea of Stars?"
However, Liu Yun didn't answer Zhou Wen. As though he had gone mad, he ordered the turtle to turn around and run at full speed.
However, not long after, he saw the ancient city that resembled topaz appear in front of him. On it were the words "Netherworld City". It looked like it was the ancient city they had seen earlier.
What's going on? Zhou Wen sized up Netherworld City when his eyes suddenly lit up. This was because he saw a tiny symbol beside the words "Netherworld City." It was a tiny hand symbol.
