The Jeremanca Desert borders the Demon Clan and is next to the Misty Sea, and it takes about two weeks to ride a horse along the coastline to traverse this desert region and reach the elven border city of Greenfors.

Situated at the junction of elves and demons, the climate of the Jeremanca Desert is influenced by two very different forces, giving it a peculiar landscape.

The western side of the Jeremanca Desert is adjacent to the Barks Hills, and the Hellas Mountains slanted through a hilly area about the size of two silver pine forests, with a patchwork of peaks that divide the area into the east and the west, and the terrain is the most complex on the mainland.

On the east side of the desert is Vaisala, a cursed land where the rivers flowing on the surface are extremely hot due to the influence of the volcanoes buried underground, and the hot water vapor shrouds the whole of Vaisala in a thick fog, and there are only two months of the year, where the monsoon will carry away the water vapor, revealing this hot spring paradise.

Due to the scarcity of rainfall and the isolation of the Hellas Mountains, the climate of the Jeremanca Desert is perennially arid, and over time, the desert area has become larger and larger, covering an area that exceeds the entire kingdom of Dia.

According to historical records, at the end of the First Age, the Jerimanca Desert still had lush forests, and after entering the Second Age, a short-lived empire called Shahra existed here, but as the demons emerged from the abyss and began to destroy the continental environment according to their preferences, the Shahra Empire resisted for a while, but in the end it did not change the destined result, this short-lived empire finally disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only a few ruins, buried in the yellow sand, Waiting for every traveler who gets lost in the desert.

Now, the Jerimanca desert is dominated by the giant sandworms, these giant maggot-like creatures with a body length of more than fifty meters and a diameter of more than five meters pass under the thick yellow sand, and the body covered by smooth scales allows these giant predators to make no sound when they move, and the hapless prey only knows what trap they have hit when they fall into the giant maws of these sandworms.

In fact, in the eyes of both the natives and players of the Ntagari Continent, this kind of monster with seven orders and two hundred levels as soon as it is an adult can no longer be called a creature, but should be regarded as a natural disaster-like existence.

With the exception of the occasional sandworm that kicks off sandstorms for prey, the most common monsters in the Jeremanca desert are the desert lizards and the yellow sand monsters, the former being a hybrid of the small echinodont and the swamp lizard, these half-human tall creatures often run in groups above the sand dunes, and when they find their prey, they will rush up and tear their prey like hyenas, even the skeleton will not be spared, and the latter is a monster between the undead and the golem, the yellow sand monster has a rock-like body, Likes to bury themselves in the ground, their bodies covered with a thin layer of yellow sand, and when someone steps on them, these golems will suddenly jump up from the yellow sand and eliminate the intruder.

In addition, caravans that venture through the Jerimanca Desert will occasionally encounter a strange being known as the Sandmen. Rumor has it that these sandfolk are the ghosts of the people of the ancient empire of Shahra. According to some legends, this ancient empire has not disappeared, it still sleeps under the thick yellow sand, and the sandfolk are the people of this ancient empire, who are still defending this empire in their own way, waiting for the day when the empire will return.

But regardless of the legend, the Jerimanca Desert is regarded as a forbidden area for life, with natural disasters like sandworms, desert lizards sweeping in like locusts, and those insidious yellow sand monsters lurking underground, coupled with the arid climate and scorching sun, the temperature often exceeds 60 degrees during the day and often drops to minus 20 degrees at night, and the scarcity of oases and water sources all make this place a place to talk about. Even the undead, who have the lowest requirements for the environment and materials, are reluctant to travel to this damn desert.

Therefore, when the news broke that the Serpent of Avalar would be hosting a 'tea party' deep in the Jerimanca Desert, the vast majority of ordinary players who wanted to gamble their luck quickly gave up on this unrealistic idea. In their opinion, no matter how much preparation they made and how many supplies they carried, they could not cross the long desert no man's land and find the place where the tea party was held. Keep in mind that the Jeremanca Desert is so famous that almost no caravan will choose to traverse it, so there is no map that players can use to find the right route and direction in the desert.

But the brutal environment and the dangers that pervade the journey don't extinguish players who harbor a special purpose.

At the same time that Camila led the team to set off towards the Jerimanga Desert, whether it was the Order camp or the chaos camp, whether it was a large guild or a lone player, each team, one by one, with a full suit, marching towards this forbidden area of life, these teams who didn't know each other were like streams, will they eventually converge into waves that are enough to break everything, or will they become victims of the Jerimanga Desert?

And all this is not something worth his concern for the past when he stepped into the Jerimanca desert. All players, including him, who want to become an Executor or Executor Alternate, must successfully traverse this dangerous desert and reach the location where the tea party will be held. If he fails to arrive before the tea party is over, then he will have to lose his chance to become a member of the Eater Serpent. While he could still continue to serve the mysterious organization as a member of the Body-Eater Serpent's periphery, it was clear to any participant that the Executor and Executor Candidates were the true core members of the organization.

Including those who received the invitation, the Serpent offered no additional help, and everyone had to rely on their own strength to reach the ruins of Shasar, where the tea party was held. At this point, even Yu Bin can't provide any help, everything can only rely on Ailan and the past with the wind.

According to Yu Bin's estimate, the number of people who can safely reach the ruins of Shasar is likely to be less than 20 out of 100, and the survival rate of less than 20% will make this long trek in the desert a journey of death.

In addition to the monsters and the harsh climate of the desert, they also have to keep out the sneak attacks of other participants, and no one wants to add competitors to their tea party, and it is a good thing for everyone to be able to reduce even one competitor during the journey.

However, for the past as an undead Suifeng, the most headache for him is the monster in this desert, thanks to the identity of the undead, he does not need to carry a large amount of supplies like players of other life races, and the remaining weight is used to carry a large number of props and potions, plus the ghosting ability he has, in the eyes of the past Suifeng, it is likely that even Alan will not be able to cross this desert more easily than him.

The first day of the trip was spent in peace, finding a sand dune that looked large, and after clearing a few yellow sand monsters nearby, he dug a pit on the leeward side of the dune, buried himself in it, and then went offline to rest.

After the next day, the past directly ghosted his body with the wind, and easily got out of the yellow sand, at this time he found that the big pit that was still on the back of the sand dunes yesterday has now been deeply buried under the sand dunes because of the movement of the dunes, if it was replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have died of suffocation.

There was no time to lament the harshness and danger of the desert environment, so he checked the supplies in his backpack with the wind and continued on his way.

Nearly two hours later, as he walked to the top of a sand dune with the wind, he noticed a team moving not far ahead through his soul vision.

The past immediately activated the ghosting with the wind, and quietly followed, he wanted to know what the origin of this team that was not afraid of death.

On the other side, Camila and Wren were trekking with their team through the Jerimana Desert.

Just the second day after entering the Jerimana Desert, Wren, who had made a bold statement, had already begun to regret it.

The team of twenty people has now been reduced by a fifth, and on the first day, they were unlucky enough to encounter a large group of desert lizards, in order not to be wiped out, a hunter stepped forward and used his life to lure the group of desert lizards away, and finally became a meal for these lizards, and the poor hunter did not even have a bone left, which made Sorian, as a priest, unable to save him.

Before their grief was over, a warrior unfortunately stepped on the quicksand, and the weight of the equipment he was wearing made the warrior swallow up the quicksand before he could even wait for the rescue of his companions, and finally had to choose death.

Then an Assassin was exploring his way and triggered the attack of the four Yellow Sand Monsters, and before the others could go to their rescue, a huge sandworm suddenly came out and swallowed the hapless Assassin and the four Yellow Sand Monsters in one go.

Another member didn't know the horror of the desert night, so he went offline without doing any cold protection measures, and by the time he went online, there was only a frozen corpse left.

A pessimistic atmosphere is growing in this team, even Angelica, a little girl, can see that although Camilla and Wren are constantly cheering everyone along the way, everyone knows that this is only the outer part of the desert, and the next journey will be more difficult.

However, these are not the most worrying things for Wren, the biggest problem is that they are lost.

The map of the Jeremanca Desert obtained through the black market before departure is not accurate, or rather, there is no exact map of the entire Jeremanca Desert, the sand dunes here are moving all the time, and there are no road signs, no iconic terrain, and it is already quite difficult to find the direction here, let alone draw a map.

In fact, the map in Wren's hand showed only the general location of some of the large oases and ruins in the Jerimanca Desert, which was like marking a few random points on a large blank sheet of paper, and he couldn't even determine where he had reached on the map.

"I think we're supposed to be here." Wren pointed to a place on the map and tapped with his finger.

"Are you sure?" Angelica tilted her head and asked suspiciously, this little girl can't care about maintaining her demeanor now, she wears a big hat on her head, and a simple cloak made of linen on her body, which she has to do if she wants to keep her moisture in the desert during the day.

Wren frowned and thought for a while, then finally gave up and said, "Well, in fact, I'm not sure, I can't even tell which direction is east and which is west now, there are exactly the same sand dunes everywhere!" ”

"Aren't we going straight to the east?" Brian Malsève, the younger brother of the Warlock brothers, leaned over and looked at the map, and said.

"Can you tell me, then, where we came from?" Wren asked with a wry smile.

Brian pointed behind him and said, "Didn't we come from there?" You see, our footprints ...... No way! What about footprints? ”

"This is the desert, and in less than half a minute, the sand will cover your footprints!" The hunter cat loves fish and said angrily, in fact, because of the loss of a hunter and an assassin yesterday, so the pathfinding work that was originally shared by the four people has to be taken care of by her and another assassin, compared to the others, she must be more careful to ensure that there is no quicksand on the route ahead, no yellow sand monsters, and no other strange traps, which makes her nerves keep tense all the time.

Brian was silent, and he knew why Camilla, who was the captain, and Wren, the vice-captain, had been making a bitter face since this morning.

"What now?" Mage Water Moon asked, as the only water mage in the team, this female mage player is mainly responsible for creating drinking water by gathering water elements, water creation is the most basic skill in water magic, but in the environment of the Jerimanca Desert, she has to pay five times as much magic to accomplish what she could easily do before.

Wren shook his head and asked Camilla, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Cat, did you find anything?" Camilla didn't answer, but asked the cat about the fish.

"See? I found a corpse in front of me, well, the corpse of an orc. "I think there is a team of orcs of more than five people in front of us. ”

"Why do you say that?" Wren wondered how cats love fish to come to this conclusion.

"There were no monster wreckage around that corpse, the corpse was not destroyed, and more importantly, I didn't find any supplies on that corpse."

"You mean, someone took that orc's supplies?" Wren is clearly aware of this, too.

"That's right, and I noticed obvious burn marks on the shoulders of the corpse, which apparently had been walking in the desert for quite some time with a large backpack on its back." Cats love to eat fish.

"Normal weight will not leave obvious marks on the body, there is only one reason for the burn marks you find, and that is that the weight of the materials carried by the other party exceeds the upper limit of his weight, and without the help of his companions, he would not have been able to get here." Camila nodded, "Where's the direction?" ”

"There." "The corpse fell in that direction, and I've let the blood catch up, and he'll leave some marks along the way, but we'll be fast, and it won't be long before they're covered with sand." ”

The blood-stained right hand is the only assassin left in this team, although this elven assassin is usually more aggressive, but his skills are indeed very good, which is why cats love fish and will rest assured that they will give him the task of tracking.

"Very good, let's go!" Camilla put away her map and ordered, "Maybe those orcs can show us the way!" ”
