Chapter 45: Gobi Desert

On the gray and black great desert, everywhere was messily crushed or broken rocks and stone . Occasionally, some short and low weeds or bushes grew out from the middle of those crushed rocks and stones as it seemed like that person had to bend or lie down on the ground to see them .

Looking far away to the surroundings on the northwest horizon, the towering barren mountain range was just a black long shadow in the world . If looking to other directions, people could see blue sky and paddy-fields . As the distance was getting further, the blue color of the sky gradually disappeared, the black color of the earth slowly faded . Till the end, the entire sky and earth had just one ash-gray color, which made people unable to tell the difference between sky and earth .

This was the Gobi Desert, one of the three Great Desert of the main surface .

On the so-called “Main Surface” mainland, there were many big and small deserts . Among them, there were three especially big Deserts, respectively located in the northwest, northeast and southeast mainland .

The northwest desert was called the Gobi Desert . Its characteristic was having lots of rocks . Except for the center area of the desert, most of the remaining area didn’t have much sand but was mainly covered by ash gray and black rubbles . There were many gales and sandstorms here . Hence, it was called “Black Storm” . Once the sandstorms came up, even the legendary powerhouse had to run for their life . Due to that reason, the west barren mountain range and the east Wilderness Empire were absolutely separated . Only merchants who were not scared of death had dared to pass it with the help of the weather forecast magic to seek for a sudden huge profit—-the majority of them didn’t have news or could be found since they departed .

The northeast desert was called the Falling Death Desert . This desert was a bit long and narrow, and scattered along the coastline . The north pole of this desert was adjacent to the Dragon Mountain Range, while the south pole was adjacent to the Blue Moon Kingdom border, separating the Holy Angel Kingdom with the sea . People said that a long time ago, when this desert had not existed in the place, the Great Army of the Holy Angel Kingdom and the marines of the habitants living in this long and narrow coastline were involved in an intense fight . The Gods from both sides had the same ending . After that earth-shaking war, several hundred miles of this coast turned into an ash-yellow desert . Until today, sometimes, people could still see really big corpses along with broken weapons in the desert . Many devil creatures haunted that place . Hence, the “death” and “falling” name of the desert came from that .

The desert on the Southeast was the Golden Desert, which considered the nice guy among the three Great Deserts . There were no terrible sandstorms or horrible devil creatures here, but only blue sky blending with a yellow desert . The tiny grains of sand looked like gold under the sunlight . If standing at the border of the desert and looking to the sun on the horizon, and it was like a world-famous beautiful scenery . However, this desert was extremely exhausted . There was almost no water source that could be found in this desert . Even for the one who didn’t lose his way thanks to the navigation spell, thirst and hotness were enough to take his life .

If Sui Xiong wanted to get to the Mystique Tower Federation, he had to pass the barren mountain range then cross the Gobi desert, go along a yellow rock mountain to the south, across the woody marsh, get through the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, then pass through the Immemorial Forest to finally reach the Mystique Tower Federation .

There were dangers everywhere along this way . Normal people who dared to go on this way must be sick of living . Even the veteran adventurers’ faces changed colors when they heard of this . Under normal circumstance, to go from the Mystique Tower Federation to the Northwest four towns, the most reliable method was by sea and then changed to walking when reaching the Gold Coin Federation to pass through the jag of the barren mountain range on the south to reach the Black Rye Town .

But that path was a huge circle . In addition, there were a lot of dangers in the sea . He was not afraid of the danger in the sea or the danger on the mainland . Not to mention, his way of moving was floating not walking . Thus, the rough road had a very limited impact on him . Therefore, after consideration, he still chose to go straight .

Anyway . . . among those two options, going straight was still the shortest .

Going straight was an exclusive benefit of a powerhouse .

Sui Xiong inflated his body to more than hundred meters in the air, leisurely headed south, and floated slightly toward to the east . After floating for a while, he would stop to do the navigation spell to determine the coordinate then continue floating forward .

The place he wanted to get to was a small city called the Gold Tower, located in the mid-west of the Mystique Tower Federation . The reason why it had this name was that there was a Gold Magic tower which stood tall and upright in the middle of the city ——the Mystique Tower federation was naturally surrounded by magic towers, which formed into a city . In this place, all the residents were shamans and disciples . To be able to be an official, one had to be at least a relative of a shaman if he was not a caster . Therefore, the name “Shaman Country” came from this .

However, at that year when the federation was established, they had gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs . The Shaman Country today was no longer pure as before . There were many more bureaucrats and aristocrats .

For example, such-and-such high-level shaman’s relatives all wanted to obtain power and status . Some disciples of a legendary shaman all required the locals to arrange accommodations for them . The previous generation had tried hard but the young generation would naturally inherit the power and status . . .

Satan was originally a young genius of the Gold Tower, having a bright future ahead . But since this innate man who had conflicted with a grandchild of an advanced shaman, his future became gloomy . After encountering an upheaval in life, he finally gave up the thought of safely developing in his native land, decided to leave his hometown and become an adventurer .

That event . . . happened approximately ten years ago .

Ten years of wandering and adventuring had made him say goodbye to the innocent teenage years as he grew up being a veteran adventurer, and stepped into the mid-level shaman realm .

If he wasn’t forced to leave his hometown, he would have needed five years to mature to the level as he was right now .

When he told this story, all the old scores could clearly be seen . Through the spirit sensing, Sui Xiong could be thoroughly clear about the anger and resentment in his mind .

Anyway . . . from the beginning, it was his mistake to help someone he shouldn’t, disturbing the joy of that young master .

Satan also didn’t say about these things . As he almost worshiped Sui Xiong, his spirit was not cautious with Sui Xiong . Of course, when those matters that carved in bones and engraved in the heart had risen like a tide, Sui Xiong even didn’t need to use his spirit sensing, he could see all of that as clearly as the day .

Therefore, he silently decided to make use of this trip to settle old scores for his believer .

No, even if Satan were not his believer, he would not ignore this matter once he had got to know it .

Some people had caused injustices . There would be some people taking care of that . If no one took care of that, then a Jellyfish God would still handle that .

Well, this jellyfish God had already started doing it .

Thanks to some good luck, it took Sui Xiong about a day to reach the border of the Gobi Desert—–after all, his path didn’t need to cross the entire Gobi Desert, he just needed to pass the border area .

The sun had gone down and the warmth from the sunlight had completely vanished . The temperature was decreasing sharply . The degree of coldness at midnight in the Gobi Desert was not less than in the north .

Even so, midnight had pros and cons . At night, in this cold as ice place, the majority of poisonous insects would have fallen into their hibernation state . The most dangerous sandstorms mostly happened at night and he just needed to be careful with those walking devil creatures . Otherwise, it was pretty safe at night .

Sui Xiong floated in the air in silence . In fact, he also didn’t need to rest but due to his long-time habit, he still liked to rest when the night fell, and enjoyed his human time, including the time for peaceful sleep .

The moonlight tonight was not bad . His jellyfish was inflated to the max . Making use of this resting time, he wanted to absorb moonlight . Around it, the dark power formed into a giant whirlwind whose diameter was up to several hundred meters and it collected all the dark power here . If some creatures had a magic vision, they would see this scene when looking up to the sky and would be startled by this eccentric scene .

To Sui Xiong, this was like resting, also eating and cultivating .

While he was quietly resting, he suddenly heard a chasing sound transmitting from the ground . Following by the sound, there was a group of frightened people being hunted by a man in black, who was riding a one-horned fast dragon .

Sui Xiong was surprised, about to chase after to rescue these people but then he stopped .

He noticed that more than one people who were being chased wore the same necklace . It was made by a chain of bones and the one who was being surrounded by others must be the leader . The necklace on his neck was clearly made by a chunk of human finger!

The tentacles displayed the spirit sensing . In a blink of an eye, Sui Xiong was able to see, one by one silently crying soul hovering above the necklace were crying miserably but couldn’t leave .

“Hunter . . . A believer of the hunting and massacre God . Among wicked villains who take “human” as their prey, there are many people that hold the position of killer at the same time . . . ” As Sui Xiong usually encountered evil influences . With just a swift glance, Sui Xiong could recognize those people’s identities—–Anyway, the “Hunter necklace” on their necks were a very obvious evidence . Even a person who didn’t have experience in adventure could realize that .

Although Sui Xiong didn’t have adventuring experience, the material of the God of Salvation had also mentioned about the evil organizations in this place: They were the most brutal branch among the believers of the hunting and massacre God . They believed in nonsense belief of “Killing their mankind would please the God” . They impatiently killed people, executed a cruel sacrifice ceremony . The necklace they were wearing was the remnants from the people they had killed and sacrificed . Thanks to the energy on the necklaces, they tied up those spirits of the deceased, tortured them, used these as the symbol representing for their power and honor, thus producing powerful magic .

Without a doubt, these “Hunters” belonged to the most brutal branch among the evil villains . Since they had met today, Sui Xiong didn’t have the intention to let them see the sun tomorrow .

And the man in black who was chasing that group was also not a kindhearted personAlthough there was no departed spirit demanding vengeance for grievances lingering around him but through the “Eye of The Camp Appraisal”, a bright and vigorous red color could be seen on his body . He was clearly a brutal and belligerent person who had killed countless people .

Sui Xiong used the “Eye of The Camp Appraisal” to look at that “Hunter” group; he then saw a jet-black and turbid black color, which made people nauseous!

Sui Xiong guessed the scene happening presently was probably like a common movie scene about the underworld—-simply black ate black!
