With the golden light emitted by the stars, the ambient temperature of the endless desert began to rise rapidly, and in just a few hours, it had risen from minus to about minus 40 degrees Celsius, and even the naked eye could clearly see the distortion of the air current.

There is no doubt that for the vast majority of people who do not regularly live in such extreme harsh environments, such temperatures are unbearable, let alone comfortable.

No more than ten kilometers from the tribe's quarters, Luke was already feeling a little dizzy, and the thick leather jacket he had worn before leaving had already been taken off and replaced with a light, long-sleeved shirt that could block direct sunlight.

As someone who has learned almost everything he needs to know about survival in the wild, he knows very well that in the wilderness, he needs to prepare two sets of clothes during the day and at night.

In addition to this, the water in his kettle was also consumed by nearly a quarter.

In other words, he must first find a place to replenish the water before he runs out of water, and secondly, he must hunt an animal or bug that can be used before feeling hungry and tired.

Obviously, these two were the original purpose of the trial, to ensure that each member of the clan had a sufficient ability to survive, and that in the event of a sudden situation, when it came time to migrate, everyone would be able to contribute their full strength during the journey.

In this post-apocalyptic world with extremely poor resources, it's good to be able to struggle to survive.

It is said that in some faraway places, some intelligent beings even sold themselves to slave traders or slave traders in order to have a bite to eat every day.

Feeling the sweltering heat brought by the harsh sunlight shining on his body, Luke sighed slightly, lifted the sunhat made of the limbs of an unknown monster on his head, and asked without looking back, "We are now some distance away from the tribal station, how do you want to spend these twelve days?"

"Of course!" Malvina, who had always followed no more than ten meters behind, nodded hurriedly. "I've heard that if you go all the way to the west, you can reach the nearest town in about four days, so why don't we go to the town and have a look?"

"To the west?town?" Luke froze for a moment, but a strange expression quickly appeared on his face. "You don't mean Darazon, do you?"

"Well, it's the town of Darazon, and I've heard that there are a lot of interesting goods there, including food, weapons, goods, and even slaves. The cat girl's eyes were filled with excitement, curiosity, and intense anticipation.

Little did she know that the town of Darazon, called Darasson, was actually a place where looters gathered to sell loot and slaves.

A healthy, trained girl like her, with little experience in the world, is the best place to start.

However, Luke did not tell the other party the cruel truth, but acquiesced to the other party's route.

Because he is also very good at what that town that the elders portray as hell on earth is like.

In this way, the two of them conserved as much water as they could, and in the evening they killed a "Maogu" who tried to attack, and collected enough meat to feed for the next few days.

In this large desert where the ambient temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius at midday, processing food could not be easier.

All you need to do is find a piece of local salt stone and throw the cut meat on top.

It won't take long for the stones, which absorb the heat of the sun, to cook all the pieces of meat.

At the same time, the salt contained in the "salt stone" penetrates into the meat at high temperatures, providing the cook with a little precious salt.

......

Four days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, especially for novices who are new to the extreme environment and climate of the desert for the first time.

However, with a wealth of knowledge and a calm response, Luke finally managed to make it through the most dangerous part of the road, and successfully reached the town, which is said to be built on an underground water well.

Unlike his impression of a town with a high concentration of people and a lot of commercial activity, the town of Darazon looked very depressed from a distance, with no business travelers coming in and out, no busy people, and only two rows of skeletons crucified to the shelves.

Due to the long exposure to the sun, most of the corpses were left with only the skeleton of Bai Sensen.

Greedy, wicked, rotten......

Taking a deep breath of the slightly rancid air, Luke suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity for some reason, as if he had become accustomed to it.

Before they could get close to the entrance, a tall, muscular creature with a lizard-like head suddenly stopped the two of them, and asked with a sinister smile, "Hey, little one, where did you come from?"

"We are ......"

"We're coming from the east!"

Before Malvina could finish speaking, Luke preemptively answered.

"East?" the lizard-headed guy stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, exuding a bloodthirsty aura all over his body.

You don't have to ask, he was obviously talking about it, trying to figure out where the two children who didn't seem to be adults came from.

You know, generally speaking, where children are born, it means that there are small tribes that are hidden.

And having a tribe means having food and water, and a lot of goods that can be sold.

Even if none of the above is possible, enough slaves can be caught, whether it is a female who can be used to reproduce, or a male who can be used as cannon fodder or labor, can be sold for a good price in the market.

But unfortunately, Luke saw through the other party's little trick almost immediately and did not tell the other party the right direction.

But Malvina clearly didn't understand why she was lying, and her eyes were fixed on her companion, as if she was desperate for an explanation.

"Ahh ”

The guy with the head of West was obviously not a fool, and immediately realized something from Malvina's reaction, and stretched out his claws to grab Luke from the ground.

After all, he was more than two and a half meters tall, and his body was covered with light gray scales, so he didn't think that a mere child could pose any threat.

But in the next second, he paid the price for his ignorance and arrogance.

"Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!h

"Hands, my hands!"

The moment his claws touched Luke's collar, a violet flame suddenly burst out of thin air, burning above his wrist.

In less than a few seconds, the light gray scales are charred and black, and at the same time, they emit a rich aroma of barbecue.
