If they had to rank the territories of the demon creatures in the world, the Sahara Desert would definitely be ranked in the top three!
Many territories of demon creatures were places of treasure in the eyes of many Hunters. Even if they were dangerous, deserted, or far away, they would still try to explore them. After all, a dangerous territory of demon creatures usually had more valuable treasures.
However, a place like the Sahara Desert was a forbidden area that even Hunters would not dare to set foot in!
The outer circle of the Sahara Desert was dark red in color. The density of demon creatures was comparable to some areas in the deep sea. Tribes and tribes were everywhere, and there were even a few kingdoms of demon creatures.
If one ventured further into the Sahara Desert, the place would be completely purple. Purple meant that the density of demon creatures was three times higher than dark red. It was a terrifying sight to see groups of demon creatures roaming around just by taking a few steps!
The more fiendish demons there were, the more resources there were. Even the fiendish demon tribes were at war with each other, not to mention humans who were hated by the fiendish demons, who would be surrounded and killed as soon as they set foot in a place!
Generally speaking, many incomparably dangerous places would have many terrifying rumors in the local area.
However, there were not many rumors in the Sahara Desert. Normally, only the survivors would tell the stories. Not many experienced Hunters dared to tell the stories of the Sahara Desert. It was a land of death. Apart from the inner circle of the Sahara Desert, where the density of demon creatures was purple, the deepest part of the Sahara Desert was black!
Mo Fan would never forget the sight of the Dark Abyss that he had seen in the ancient city. It was a furnace of undead, with mountains and seas of corpses. It was truly black.
There was a black zone like that in the Sahara Desert, a place that humans had never seen before. No Magician had ever set foot in that place …
As such, everyone's expression changed when they heard that they were going to a place like that.
What kind of joke was that? They were not going to a rescue, they were basically going to their deaths. The Sahara Desert was not a place where humans were allowed to enter!
"The advisors said that it's up to us to decide if we are going to a rescue, but those who give up will lose the chance to claim the resources of the manor," Nan Jue said.
"I'd rather not go!" Zu Jiming was the first to speak up.
"I don't really want to go either, that place …"
"Captain, what do you think?"
Many people turned to look at Ai Jiangtu, hoping that Ai Jiangtu would make a decision.
"We're just looking for the missing people in the outer circle. We don't have to enter the Sahara Desert," Nan Jue explained.
What she meant by this sentence was that she had gone. The main reason was that the conditions offered by the mentors were indeed quite tempting.
"I want to go. I'm short of money," Mofan said directly.
After talking to Zhao Manyan about the Soul-grade Lightning Seed, Mofan almost went crazy thinking about the money. The International Magic Association in Africa had paid a lot of money for the rescue mission. Mofan needed the money.
"I'm sorry, but we have other plans. Let's part ways here. If you want to go to the Sahara Desert, you can lead the team yourself. As for the money, we won't compete with you. It doesn't matter how much money you have if you're dead," said Guan Yu.
The Sahara Desert was not part of their plan. Guan Yu had his own ways to secure more resources in the Mediterranean Sea. He was not interested in risking his life in the Sahara Desert.
"Same deal, Nan Jue, you'll lead the people who want to go. I'll keep an eye on the others who don't want to go," said Ai Jiangtu.
The conflict between the two teams had existed for a long time. It was not the first time they had split into two teams. Normally, the two teams would split up when they were given the choice.
As the captain, Ai Jiangtu was responsible for keeping an eye on the team. Normally, he would choose to follow Guan Yu's team.
As he thought, Jiang Shaoxu, Jiang Yu, Zhao Manyan, Mu Ningxue, and Nan Jue had all decided to go to the Sahara Desert. The others would follow Ai Jiangtu's team to look for other routes and quests.
Everyone was hoping to improve their strength, thus they needed all kinds of resources to keep up with the progress of the other teams. Most importantly, they all wanted to shine brightly in Venice, so they and the factions behind them would be the center of attention of the world!
…
Say, Mofan, do you really have to work so hard? Even if you're short on money, you shouldn't have come to the Sahara Desert! "Zhao Manyan was a coward, too.
He believed that for someone like him, befriending someone like Mofan was equivalent to dying at a young age. He was simply asking for trouble!
As a matter of fact, judging from the price the African Association was offering, he could easily tell that it was not a job for ordinary people!
"Didn't Nan Jue say that we're just checking out the outer circle?" said Mofan.
"That might be the case, but I heard that it's not surprising for a Ruler-level creature to appear in a place like the Sahara Desert," said Zhao Manyan.
"I don't think those Ruler-level creatures would come all the way to the outer circle for no reason. The outer circle is mostly made up of demon beasts guarding the border. It's fine."
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The group was buried in the desert. The golden sand extended all the way to the end of the sky. If one were to stand on top of a sand dune and look down, they would be able to see the spectacular view of the golden sand. Apart from exclaiming how tiny humans were, they were impressed by the workmanship of nature!
The place was calm. There was no wind, nor was there any dust lingering in the air.
The group went over one sand dune after another, heading toward the place that the African Association of Magic had mentioned.
As a matter of fact, they were not really in the Sahara Desert yet. It was only the outer circle of the desert, and was relatively close to the Mediterranean Sea.
The scariest thing about the Sahara Desert was not just the presence of demon beasts that were a lot stronger than the outside world, but also the existence of a strange maze in the Sahara Desert.
Anyone that set foot in the Sahara Desert would lose their sense of direction. Not only would they not be able to find their way out of the maze, they might even wander deeper into the desert without realizing it.
It was even harder to find one's direction in a desert than in a forest. The place was covered in sand and dunes. The scorching sun in the sky could not provide any guidance, and any footprints in the desert would be easily covered by the sand blown by the wind!
It was obvious that the missing group had accidentally stumbled into the maze of the Sahara Desert.
If someone from the outside world could help them find their way out of the maze within a short period of time, they might still have a chance to find their way out of the maze. However, if they stayed in the Sahara Desert for too long, they would never be able to leave. Countless Super Mages had lost their way in the Sahara Desert!
…
"The last time the missing people made contact was around here. This place should be about three kilometers away from the desert maze. According to the advisors, they encountered a strong sandstorm. They went into the maze of the desert to look for cover. The sandstorm was heading south, so I believe they went south to hide. Let's hope they didn't venture too deep into the Sahara Desert … "Nan Jue said.
"What should we do now? We can't just go in and look for them, can we?" Jiang Yu asked.
"We'll have to move forward in a long line. We can't be more than a kilometer away from each other. That way, we can guarantee that the people who entered the maze of the desert will be able to find their way out," Nan Jue said.
Forming a long line was actually quite simple. If everyone was a kilometer away from each other, the six of them would be able to form a long line around five kilometers long. The person at the end of the line would stand outside the maze of the desert, while the other four would enter the maze of the desert while maintaining the same distance. They would then release a signal every five minutes so the others could see each other clearly.
…
The Desert Bewildering World actually had a rather obvious boundary, and that was when the golden sand slowly revealed a red color. Once the desert in front of him started to turn red, it meant that this was the Desert Bewildering World.
According to Nan Jue's suggestion, Nan Jue would stay outside the maze of the maze of the line, while the others would enter the maze of the desert.
Everyone tried their best to set up a sand dune as the starting point. Even though the distance between them was slightly off, it was still easier for the people who were in the sand to see what was going on.
"I'll stay here, you can keep going," Mu Ningxue said to Mo Fan.
Behind Mu Ningxue was Jiang Shaoxu. Jiang Shaoxu was already standing on a sand dune a kilometer away.
Mo Fan was the last one to go, since he was the bravest among the group. Neither Zhao Manyan nor Mofan dared to accept the quest that required them to venture five kilometers into the maze of the desert.
"Is this place really that creepy?" Mo Fan murmured as he ventured deeper.
The sand here was obviously red. After walking for around five hundred meters, Mo Fan turned around to take a look.
Mo Fan couldn't help but break out in cold sweat after taking a glance.
Where was Mu Ningxue?
He had not gone too far. How did Mu Ningxue disappear?
"Whoosh ~!"
At that instant, on Mo Fan's left, a spiral of dark golden sand was lifted into the air, forming a huge bamboo hat on top of the sand dune.
Upon seeing this, Mo Fan finally realized that Mu Ningxue had somehow moved to his left!
That wasn't right, Mu Ningxue had been standing on the sand dune without moving. In other words, he had already deviated from his original direction?
Mo Fan was even more astounded when he thought about it.
He had only walked for five hundred meters, yet he had already deviated by around forty-five degrees. Wasn't this maze of the desert a little too scary?!
