In the desert, the temperature is very low at night, but as the first ray of morning light emerges from the undulating dunes, the golden light spreads to the entire earth.

The coolness of the night is like an hallucination. The burning fire hell is still the burning fire hell, and the transition from cold to hot does not even exceed an hour in the middle.

In the roaring dunes, candidates who had already rested came out of their respective residences one after another, preparing to start coming here.

The first battle.

After all, the nights in the desert are dim, which is more dim than the hot but bright daytime.

They hate dim nights even more.

Because the hidden quicksand was often more deadly at that time, especially when they were alone and helpless.

I was so surprised that I fell into the quicksand. At that time, no one except myself could help him, even the audiences far away in Mitsuki Spring Square could not.

Therefore, most candidates still prefer to fight during the day.

Of course, of course, there are not the few outstanding players who fought on the dunes last night.

Laris, who was half hidden in the yellow sand, looked up and shook her red ponytail that had been tied with a straw rope, looked up at the golden sun that was about to give the heat to the earth, and pursed her slightly dry lips.

The wind here is so hot that it can make people thirst.

But Laris' mind was still filled with the appearance of the past, the birds singing and the flowers singing and deer singing in the streams.

In just half a month, she had probably guessed which part of the empire was through some signs.

Nardute, the heroic capital of the empire who has cultivated countless elite soldiers, as well as generals and spellcasters.

But now...

Laris sighed, shook his head to stop his uncontrollable reverie, and his eyes closed with a look of sadness.

He no longer hesitated to leave the small sand dune where she had just fought fiercely.

However, the boots made of lizard skin under her feet made a pleasant creaking sound in the sand, and the sound from the wind not far away was suddenly mixed with it, making Laris shudder all over.

“Meow~”

It is vast and surrounded by golden gravel and wind. This sound similar to a meow is particularly clear.

She subconsciously felt that it was auditory hallucination, but when she saw a furry cat head exposed under the sand dune in the east, she knew that it was not an hallucination but a real thing. However, her face did not show joy, but instead her brows were slightly frowning.

"How did it come?"

"Can you say... come to me?"

Laris suspected that she had returned to the underground ruins, which alarmed it, or the unknown dragon god behind the scenes.

However, the black cat was not as she had imagined. She stepped forward and rubbed her. Instead, she looked at her from a distance. Seeing that she had no desire to go forward, she shrank her head and disappeared into the morning breeze that was slightly opened in the morning.

“…?”

Although Laris was puzzled, she still couldn't catch up. After a while, she walked to the place where the black cat disappeared.

But at this time, the black cat was no longer visible on the sand, and there was no trace of footprints.

This made Laris think that she was an hallucination. The black cat head just now was just her conjecture, but the conclusive memory in her mind made her know that the slightest smell of the tip of her nose made her sure that there was indeed a black cat here that had been here.

She pondered for a while, but gave up on tracking the deserted sand.

Instead, he turned silently and left in the other direction.

At this time, she had already made up her mind that she would not want to have any relationship with that person before she could fully grasp the lost history.

After all, no matter how you look at the dragon god suddenly appears, even if you claim to be the backhand left by her father, it will be a bit abrupt.

Of course, if the subsequent investigation is true, she will still join forces with this giant dragon.

Restoring the country is to unify all the powers that can be mastered, otherwise it would be impossible to enrich the country by relying on one person alone.

A giant dragon with such a big arm helps.

As long as there is no malice, Leris can accept it.

......

As the scorching fireballs, which were two or three times larger than the sun in the previous life, hung in the sky, burning this desert with a unique fragrance of blood and dust.

At this time, Geden had already lying across the section of a huge broken rock more than 40 meters high on the outside of the Roaring Sand Dune, bathing in it with some comfortable sunshine.

Its horned dragon head with four swept back like fine iron, overlooking this world of fire and sand.

The extraordinary distance of vision brought by the dragon-like pupils allows it to be easily observed here, with at least six traces of human activity allegedly from Mitsukizumi.

However, it is not in a hurry to show up among these people, but hides in a high place first, observes for a moment, and then makes plans.

Anyway, it has sown two seeds, and whether the third seed is sown or not is actually not much.

After all, too much not only affects its value, but also adds variables out of thin air.

It's hard and not thankful.

Just like after it discovered traces of someone coming from the underground ruins, it went to look for the red-haired female knight.

It's purely useless work!

Gordon has made up his mind now.

As long as they don't ask for their own help and pay it, it does not intend to take the initiative to help anyone, even if they are in danger.

This desert is not the only one intelligent race. Why should we be spoiled by human gathering place?

Anyway, if it really can't stay here, it's not a choice to get to the Tudin, a slave that it rescued from the desert giant.

However, Gordon always feels that there is a big secret behind that female knight!

It's a little itchy and wants to understand.

So, this is also why Geton went to find her after she immediately discovered that the female knight had returned to the underground ruins.

"I can only wait for development!"

Ge Dun looked at the candidate in the distance with a bored weapon fighting the whistling shadow of the Sand Soul, thinking boredly.

Judging from the candidates it observes, the strongest one should be the red-haired female knight who walked out here and returned here inexplicably. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely win in the final victory.

If she wanted to revitalize the empire according to her plan, as long as it was not malicious, she would undoubtedly contact it without help. This is why Geun was so calm.

Just as it thinks, just wait for development. Anyway, as long as the main material plane does not have any chaos, it will be fine for as long as it stays here.

It may be a good thing to avoid the chaotic and turbulent years.

Nina has now successfully converted into a dragon-like bloodline, and her lifespan is the same as that of a similar real dragon, so it doesn't have to be afraid of going back. Time gave it a big surprise.

Just as Geton was lazy and watching the movements of the sand dunes within a few thousand meters around.

It seemed to smell something with sharp eyes, and it came from the end of the sky.

Ge Dun's laziness and dissipation suddenly disappeared, and his spirit suddenly shook.

"The smell of a real dragon!"

It immediately used the [Earth Walk] engraved in the bloodline, originated from the Thor Stone Monster, drilled directly into the stone, and then used the [Sand Walk] that had just been mastered for a while, and returned to the desert.

The dragon's eyes and scales half exposed on the sand surface were galloping freely in the endless sea of ​​sand like crocodiles, but the wind, sand and traces were not a trace, just like a calm water surface, motionless.

......

--"roar!"

The Sand Soul Guard let out a deafening roar and pointed at the two-legged creature in front of him.

Sharuís, however, didn't blink, waved his hand and said to someone.

"Xilo, stop playing! Quick battle! We are still rushing to the next place. Before the temperature is not hot, I can't walk. Damn, the sun is getting hotter and hotter!"

He lifted up the white clothes that wrapped his muscles, trying to bring a hint of coolness to the wind, but the wind in the desert was hot and only made his skin feel burned, so he immediately stopped this stupid thing from him.

The Somut's standard golden eyes were slightly dim under the sun's light, but it could still be seen that he was thrilling at this moment, not like the one who fought all night.

Of course, it was not him who fought all night. He almost didn't do anything that night, except picking up the sand soul crystal that fell on the ground.

And with the voice of Sharuís ending.

In the sea of ​​sand, under the empty body of the Shadow of the Sand Soul, a dusty sky full of dust like smoke and pillars immediately burst out.

A huge monster that seemed to be broken into white all over his body jumped up from the sea of ​​sand, like a wolves attacking. His left and right jaws opened and closed, biting the sand soul guard who seemed to be a phantom.

The sound of the wind sounded, passing through the scales behind the monster, and then cutting the strong wind, making a roar that was even more shocking than the roar of the Sand Soul Guard.

As the yellow sand came to an end, the monster, which was twelve or 3 meters long, completely revealed its figure.

This is a giant yellow sand snake with a winding appearance. Its whole body seems to have no weight. Except for the tip of the tail touching the gravel, the other body is suspended in the air. There are many spines on its scales, and its body is like a stick insect.

Combined with the raised spines of the scales and the thin body shape, it is easy to mistakenly believe that this monster is fleshless and bloody, and treat it as a boned undead snake.

It is the ancient dragon of the spine.

It is said to be a dragon, but the ancient dragons of the spine are not like other dragons. They do not spit out weapons - even wings, or limbs.

But they have powerful psychic and melee capabilities.

Among the few desert people, these ancient dragons floating in the sky often have another name.
