Chapter 138 The Sahara Desert

"Alright! Let's set off now. You all wait a few more days. If we can't find them, we'll come back. After all, sandstorms can happen anywhere in the Sahara. Maybe those people are already buried deep underground by the sand!"

Bai Feng addressed the crowd, saying that he was interested in the Sahara Desert and wanted to take a look, and that the group of people might already be dead, so he could just search casually and call it a day!

"That works too!" Ai Jiangtu nodded after hearing what Bai Feng said.

------------------

"I'm telling you! Mo Fan, even if you're short of money, you don't have to come to a place like this! This is the Sahara Desert! Is this a place for humans?!" Zhao Manyan was still complaining, wondering how Mo Fan had tricked him into coming here!

"Didn't Nan Jue say we should just wander around the outskirts? Even if we don't find anything, we can still get some money for our trouble!" Mo Fan said excitedly, as if he had already received the money!

"So you can encounter monarch-level demons even on the outskirts?! I'm incredibly unlucky to have run into you!"

"Hmph! All those monarch-level demons have nothing better to do! The outer perimeter is mostly just a bunch of lowly demons! Lowly demons! It's nothing!"

Upon arriving in this boundless golden desert ocean, everyone's eyes were squinted from the glare!

This area seemed to have come to a standstill; there wasn't a cloud in the sky, not even a wisp of wind, and it was eerily quiet!

After crossing one sand dune after another, the group truly headed towards the Sahara!

The real Sahara Desert is not only home to an incredibly large number of monsters, but also to a maze that makes people lose their way and their senses!

That's why it's said that almost no one who sets foot in the Sahara Desert comes out alive, because just losing your sense of direction and perception can cause you to get lost in the desert for a long time. Without strong willpower, it's hard to persevere until you get out of the maze!

"The last time the missing team of Nationalist government officials made contact was right here."

"It should be about three kilometers away from the maze of the Sahara Desert from here."

"My mentor told me that they encountered a very strong sandstorm and accidentally stumbled into the Great Desert Maze while looking for suitable shelter. The wind was blowing due south at the time! So they were most likely looking for shelter to the south! We just need to search to the south! Hopefully, they won't go too far in!" Nan Jue said.

"Then what do we do? We can't just rush in like they did, can we?!" Zhao Manyan asked.

"Let's form a long line like a dragon. We'll line up in a single line and move inwards, with one person on the outermost edge. We'll stop every kilometer, and the person who stops every ten minutes will release a signal!" Bai Feng directly stated their plan from the original story!

"Okay! I agree!"

"I'm fine with it too!"

"That's what we'll do!"

"Then who will stay outside?" Zhao Manyan asked. Actually, he wanted to stay outside, but he knew it was impossible. His role as the Turtle Shell Mage was quite important!

"Nan Jue! I've left the Shadow Dragon in your shadow. As long as you don't encounter a legitimate ruler, you'll be safe!" Bai Feng said, patting Nan Jue's shoulder.

"Okay, I'll just stay on the outside and give you signals, act as a guide!" Nan Jue didn't refuse, after all, as a magician specializing in sound, she wouldn't be able to play a significant role inside!

"The first runner is Mu Ningxue, the second is Jiang Yu, the third is Jiang Shaoxu, there is no fourth runner! If we can't find them within three kilometers, we'll evacuate!" Nan Jue also played the role of commander, arranging the plan in an orderly manner!

Everyone nodded in agreement; no one had any objections!

"Be careful in everything you do!" Nan Jue said before everyone set off.

"Don't worry! I'm here!" Bai Feng said nonchalantly. Although this wretched place might mess with his sense of direction, he had left a spatial node outside the Sahara Desert, so he could easily cross it out!

If the distortion of the Sahara Desert is too strong, Bai Fengzhen may not be able to cross it, but with Ying Gui around, there is no need to be afraid of encountering any difficulties!

Moreover, the Shadow Ghost also has spatial attributes; it can pull them all out with a wave of its hand!

"I'll go first!" Bai Feng took the first step out, and as soon as he stepped onto the obviously reddish sand, he felt a twisting force like chaotic magic!

Bai Feng blinked, turned around, and was stunned!

Where the hell are they?!

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, Jiang Shaoxu's voice came from Bai Feng's left. He turned his head and exclaimed in surprise:

"Holy crap, this is something else! Even I, a mage with fifth-level spiritual power, have my sense of direction distorted by this desert!"

"What? Is it really that exaggerated?!" Zhao Manyan also said with a surprised expression. First, he was surprised that Bai Feng's spiritual power had already reached the fifth level, and second, a mage with the spiritual power of the fifth level was distorted after taking just one step!

"Really?" Mo Fan walked in, still not believing it, taking several steps in a row!

Swish——————————————

What others saw was Mo Fan taking a few steps and turning a corner, as if he were playing around!

"Holy crap?!" Mo Fan turned his head and jumped up. He looked at Bai Feng, who was standing to his right and behind him, and then at the people directly behind him. He was clearly walking to Bai Feng's left, and the two of them were seven or eight meters apart!

"Interesting!" Mo Li opened her eyes wide and looked curiously at this twisted desert!

"Then... what do we do now?" Jiang Shaoxu asked hesitantly.

"There's no other way, we'll just have to figure it out slowly! As long as we can confirm that Nan Jue is right behind us, that's fine!" Bai Feng shrugged and said helplessly.

"That's the only way!" Mo Fan nodded, then called for everyone to head deeper into the desert!

As they walked further in, they kept looking back to confirm their location. They walked until dark before reaching the first 1000 meters!

"Holy crap! This is so difficult to traverse! Are those Nationalist government members still alive?" Zhao Manyan cursed.

"If they have any brains, they'll stay put. But if they insist on wandering around... there's nothing we can do if we can't find them!" Bai Feng said after a moment's thought.

On the other side, a large bird with a wingspan of several hundred meters is flying towards the Sahara Desert.

Above them was a group of men and women with dark complexions, dressed in magnificent robes, clearly mages from some organization!

"Mentor Devon! Is the Sahara Desert really as terrifying as the legends say?" A tall, curly-haired Black woman asked a middle-aged Black man with a worried expression.

"Professor Devon! Can you hear me?!" the woman called out again!

"Huh? What did you say? Could you say it again?" the middle-aged black man named Devon said.
