It was quite a smooth journey. They soon had a map of the area within five kilometers.
Mofan glanced at Ling Ling's computer and saw many purple dots that were gradually turning black behind the map. It was a sign that the number of Sandstorm Demon Locusts had reached a terrifying level!
"Quick, those creatures aren't far away!" Ge Ming said to the others, glancing at the Sandstorm Demon Locusts with lingering fear.
With the map of the demon creatures' distribution, the group could quickly find a new route.
The group quickened their pace. Even though the Sandstorm Demon Locusts were not targeting them, the Sandstorm Demon Locusts still covered a huge area. If they did not leave the area, not even their bones would be left behind.
…
After traveling for around three kilometers, the group felt a hot breeze blowing at them, setting them on fire.
The Sandstorm Demon Locusts had already covered the area they were in. These evil creatures had no interest in the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards. It was most likely a perfect protection for the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards. The Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards were almost unstoppable, which was why there were so many of them.
The heat of the desert continued to grow. Every grain of sand was scorching hot. It felt like they were in a steamer. It was a great torture.
As the temperature was too high, the Ice Mages and Water Mages had to cast spells to relieve the heat. The group had more than ten people. The Water Mages and Ice Mages kept expending their energy. As time went on, they would lose their ability to fight, too.
"We should be arriving at the old relay station soon. In the past, there were still some Hunters stationed at the old relay station, but after more than ten years, the path is filled with demon beasts. It's extremely dangerous too. The relay station is basically abandoned," Ge Ming said.
"(Sigh), shouldn't we at least plant a flag here? Wouldn't the world belong to the demon creatures without us?"
"It should be up ahead," Tong Li, who had come along, said.
Tong Li was very familiar with the desert. He could easily find the things buried under the sand.
The group followed the safe path. They could take a rest when they reached the relay station. After all, the relay station used to be built here, meaning it was not too hot. There were plants and water too.
The relay station was built with rocks. Half of it was covered in sand from a distance. There were also some wooden buildings around it. The eaves of the buildings were less than half a meter above the sand.
Tong Li quickly went into the relay station, as if he was looking for something.
There were no demon creatures around the relay station. The so-called oasis only had a bunch of stubborn plants. It was not even as green as a small park in the city. As a result, the heat..
"Mo Fan, the Burning Mountain Range isn't far from here. The temperature here isn't normal," Lingling said.
She could not use the Elemental Detector, but it was not a problem for her to use some normal temperature instruments. The hot wind was blowing from the north of the relay station. She believed that the Fire Mountain Range that a certain old Hunter had mentioned was not far away.
"Mmm." Mofan nodded. He called Zhang Xiaohou over and said, "Houzi, look to the north. Try to see as far as you can."
"Alright, Brother Fan, let's split up here, shall we?" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"They should be heading west. After all, they are here to explore. They will need to go deeper into the desert. This relay station used to be a safe spot for Hunters and the military. It's not really an open desert," Mofan said.
"I'm quite strong. I'll go to the north and take a look," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Alright, be careful," Mofan reminded him.
Zhang Xiaohou headed north. The others stayed at the relay station to rest.
He did not use his flying ability. It was not wise to fly in the desert.
About a kilometer away from the relay station, Zhang Xiaohou realized that the place was no longer filled with sand. Gradually, he could see some dark colored rocks. The rocks had been scorched by the high temperature, and there were many cracks on them. Faint flames could be seen rising from the cracks.
Zhang Xiaohou was overjoyed when he saw the flames. It seemed like they had come to the right place.
It must be a rare Fire Elemental Sacred Land that was able to raise the temperature of the desert to such a high temperature. A place like this was usually a natural factory for Soul Seeds and Soul Seeds, and there were usually a lot of them. If they really found an Elemental Sacred Land, they would have a meteoric rise!
"Why is there a cave here? Don't tell me there's a demon creature here?" Zhang Xiaohou climbed to the top of the rocks and soon discovered a small cave facing the relay station.
The cave was not deep. It did not look like it was hiding a powerful demon creature. Zhang Xiaohou went deeper and discovered some beast hides inside the cave. There was also some burnt food on the hides, and a lot of rusty tools, knives, flints, iron pots …
Zhang Xiaohou suddenly felt a burning sensation on his back as he assumed they were left behind by the Hunters at the relay station.
Danger!
Zhang Xiaohou dodged at an extremely fast speed. He saw a ball of scorching flames fly past and explode on the rocks in the cave, shattering them into pieces.
Zhang Xiaohou turned around and saw a tanned man wearing only a pair of beast hides standing outside the cave. His hair was messy, and his beard was covering his face. Only a pair of beast-like eyes could be seen glaring at Zhang Xiaohou.
The remaining flames lit up the cave. The savage seemed to be able to see Zhang Xiaohou's face. He was stunned and stared at him blankly.
"Human … human?" the man stuttered, as if he had forgotten how to speak.
"Who are you? Why are you living here?" Zhang Xiaohou was also stunned by what he saw.
Just now, when he saw that the furniture had traces of being used, he immediately concluded that this small stone house was inhabited.
"I-I-I, you, you, my army, my army, here, it's too …" the savage had completely forgotten how to speak. He was at a loss for words for a long time.
After struggling to communicate, the savage dug out a badge from the cave and showed it to Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou looked at the medal and couldn't help but salute, "So you're a soldier."
When the savage man saw Zhang Xiaohou's salute, his body trembled slightly. He quickly raised his hand and saluted back.
"How long have you been trapped here?" Zhang Xiaohou's heart skipped a beat when he saw the savage.
"I … I don't know …" the savage shook his head.
"This place has been buried for eleven years. Have you been living here for eleven years?" Zhang Xiaohou asked softly.
