Chapter 40 The Eastern Desert

Passing through the edge of the foggy forest, the land gradually becomes barren.

The Mist Forest is a special place, where there is a certain "dead demon area". Simply put, it is a place where the elemental energy chaos magic net covers loopholes. The caster will be affected here, and the casting may fail or even cause disorder. Most such places are very dangerous because there is strong energy radiation and powerful mutant creatures are prone to appear. Deep in the Mist Forest is the place where the gods fell. A god who once had powerful divine power once fell here, and few people can enter.

This is difficult for even the saints who are incarnated by gods, and only a few legendary druids can connect there with dreams.

There were some fragmentary rumors back then.

There is a rumor that the depths of the foggy gods are connected to a certain kingdom of gods, which are huge semi-planes directly embedded in the material plane.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to confirm this.

……………………

The wind and sand gradually became more violent.

After entering the Gobi Desert, everything in front of you gradually became desolate. This Gobi Desert is the territory of the werewolves, and there are a lot of werewolves active here. Many half-baked wild monsters in the hinterland of the mainland have advanced to professionals due to the harsh living environment. And here there is the belief of Jenogu, the abyss lord, the lord of the 422nd floor of the bottomless abyss, and one of the most powerful werewolves.

Maybe it is not a powerful Abyss Lord, but no one can underestimate it.

Because its old enemies are the Succubus Queen and the Taurus King, they have been able to fight against these two enemies for thousands of years and have not yet fallen. Either it is really lucky or it is really good.

The Gnoll King is not a very complicated abyss lord, because Sauron has been to its territory.

The goal of its lifelong struggle is to make the zombies prosper, and to do so it hunts as much as possible for weak creatures or plans some conspiracies to deal with the enemy.

Unfortunately, werewolves were born to rely on hunting for food, which destined that their numbers would be difficult to prosper.

A strong wind blew.

The excellent tracking ability allowed the gnoll scouts to discover Soren, who was walking alone on the Gobi Desert. They were carefully lurking behind and communicated in a special way. They had enough wisdom to understand that people traveling alone were not so easy to deal with, but their desire for flesh and blood still made them feel ready.

Say!

A sharp arrow flew out.

In order to avoid trouble, Sauron took out the elf war bow and then shot an arrow on the shoulder of a werewolf scout. The arrow deviated due to the wind direction, and it should have hit its head.

Proper display of force can reduce trouble.

Ao Wow!

A scream sounded, and the werewolf scouts finally realized that the target they were not able to deal with, and these creatures quickly retreated into the Gobi Desert.

The more you enter the Gobi Desert, the fewer traces of plants will be.

At the end, the desert began to appear in front of Sauron. The yellow sand was covered with the sky was very desolate, and there was almost no green in front of him.

This is a disaster brought by the Arcane Empire.

Many glorious cities are now buried under the yellow sand, and part of the reason is due to humans, because they were severely cut down in the past, so that there was no trace of plants that were seen.

Rivers dry up and land desertified.

After the transition and destruction, humans migrated from here, but they only left all other creatures to occupy it.

Through this desert, you will be the Eastern Kingdom.

This is the largest desert in the material plane, and it takes several days even if you use flight techniques. Sauron's target is inside the desert, so he needs to find the city in the desert first.

oasis!

Since the gradual deterioration of the environment, some morally noble druids have come here.

They formed the legendary "Tree Shepherds" and have been creating green in this harsh desert for hundreds of years. This is quite difficult because the deteriorating environment is difficult to repair, and there are residual energy radiation in many places here. The Tree Shepherds are another of the Druids. They rarely interfere in the mainland. Their task is to sow plants and build oasis in the desert. These Tree Shepherds have a very high reputation in the desert area, and the oasis on the Eastern Trade Road was built. (Note: Details are mentioned near the Elf Kingdom.)

It is not easy to find an oasis.

This place is also an unfamiliar environment for Sauron. He can only rely on flight techniques to determine the direction and then pursue the traces of life in this desolate land.

The first day.

He had to spend the night on the dunes and then continue on his way in the morning.

As he gradually penetrated the desert, some broken buildings appeared in front of him, which were as magnificent as Egyptian pyramids. Unfortunately, it is now incredible. The surroundings are buried by yellow sand. If you want to enter, you can only dig out a passage. This is a very dangerous thing. Soren was almost buried by quicksand in the past. The land under his feet used to be a city, but now it has become an ancient ruin in the desert. Except for the occasional adventurers who want to find wealth, no one else will enter it easily.

Because there are too many dangers.

This desert buried nearly one-third of the cities during the Arcane Empire period, including sealed ancient evil things. Exploring here is equivalent to exploring a city, which is a very large project. Many times you can't find a way out and can only dig out a passage by yourself. The most dangerous place is in the Eastern Kingdom, where there are many such ancient ruins under the monastery of monks, many of which suppress the terrifying evil things.

Half a day passed like this.

A green area appeared in front of Sauron, because he saw a river, a river in the desert.

The two sides of the shore are tall trees, distributed very neatly around them. This is not a natural growth tree, but a place for artificial planting and transformation.

The work of the tree-grazing man.

Finding the river means there is an oasis nearby. Sauron couldn't help but speed up and move forward quickly.

A wall built by sand and stone emerged.

A tall flagpole is erected at the city gate. There is a completely different scene from the hinterland of the mainland. The entire town is surrounded by it, blocking the wind and sand on all sides. The caravans traveling around no longer use horses, but are all camels, holding heavy goods on the camels, and there are oriental merchants wearing a bit of Arab-style clothing next to them. Many of the surrounding buildings are built of sand and stone, which looks rough and desolate.

Sauron entered the city in the desert.
