Powerful, but not bullying the weak. That was a fundamental difference from the Twelve Palaces.
"Let's change our clothes first." Jun Wu Xie said, her eyes narrowed. If they were to go into the desert with their current equipment, it would not take them more than two hours before they would show signs of dehydration.
Although spirit power could maintain a certain level of body temperature, but it only existed when one's body temperature was too low. That did not mean that spirit power would be able to lower the temperature as well.
Faced with the temperature that had suddenly risen by several tens of degrees, they had no choice but to temporarily change out of the thick, warm clothes they were wearing, and go into the desert light.
Fortunately, they had made all the necessary preparations before they set out and they only needed to change out of their thick and heavy outerwear.
The clothes that they had changed out of were all kept in Jun Wu Xie's Cosmos Sack for temporary safekeeping, in case anything unexpected happened later on.
From the freezing cold of the Bone Corroding Forest, stepping into the scorching sea of sand, the roiling waves of heat hit them in the face, and the strong wind mixed with sand and gravel howled past their faces. Not to mention opening their mouths to speak, even taking a deep breath, they could feel the stinging pain of the sand entering their nostrils.
The companions tore off the corners of their clothes and used them as veils over their faces, to cover their mouths and noses, to filter out the raging sand in the wind.
The yellow sand under their feet was so soft that it made it hard for them to exert any strength. Every step they took, a large depression would form and the fine sand would fall down, quickly covering their feet.
"This is quicksand." Jun Wu Xie immediately channeled her spirit power into her feet, to reduce the weight on her body.
This desert, was not any ordinary desert, but a vast area of quicksand. The slightest mistake and one would be caught in it, and they would be swallowed up by the yellow sand.
Without the thick fog obscuring them, the visibility in the area had increased quite a bit. Even without using the Spirit Fire Globes, they would be able to see the path before them clearly.
But this path, made it impossible for them to set foot on it.
Once they were caught in the quicksand, the quicksand would produce a strong suction and the more they struggled to break free, the tighter the quicksand would bite. It was different from the swamps. In a swamp, they could still vaguely find some clues and traces, but the quicksand was even more terrifying. The suction from the swamps was not strong and if one accidentally stepped in, there was still a possibility of being rescued. But if it was quicksand ….. the chances of death would be much higher.
The desert before their eyes, made the bunch of youths feel so depressed they almost wanted to vomit blood. They could more or less understand how those people who had been expelled from the Twelve Palaces must have felt after going through untold trials and tribulations to see this stretch of quicksand.
There were countless difficulties and dangers. If they were not deeply involved, they would definitely sing and dance for the wisdom and resourcefulness of the people of the Dark Regions. But now, they could not laugh at all.
"The Dark Regions." Qiao Chu said as he slapped the back of his head. He really had to hand it to the brains of the people from the Dark Regions. How did he make all these?
Jun Wu Xie was not in a hurry to make her move. Quicksand was not unique to this world. She had heard of it before she was reborn.
This was because there were all kinds of situations that happened in the desert. She had once treated an assassin in the organization. His target was in the desert. He had followed the target for three months before he found an opportunity to strike. However, he was trapped in quicksand. Not only did the target escape, but he was also almost drowned in the quicksand. Fortunately, his other companions were not far from him and saved him in time.
The assassin had been shot and sent to Jun Wu Xie with a large hole in his shoulder. But he had still continued to ramble on and on, saying many things about the quicksand.
