The Sahara Desert, the world's largest desert, covers almost the entire northern part of Africa, accounting for a quarter of the continent's total area, and is the largest desert on Earth outside Antarctica.

The climate is extremely harsh, making it one of the most inhospitable places on Earth for life.

The average temperature here is above 20 degrees Celsius all year round, and the temperature difference between day and night is as much as 30 degrees.

And in the Sahara Desert, where the sun was shining and the sand was sweeping away, Abner wore a black robe with a one-piece canopy, and wrapped his body tightly.

Although he had never practiced in the desert before, his previous experience had taught Abner that the dust and wind that were constantly sweeping away his body would take away the precious water from his body.

And what the consequences of lack of water in the desert will be, I believe everyone knows.

Abner looked ahead with half-squinted eyes, and the curtain in his eyes was a golden yellow, and after looking at it for a long time, it even made people feel dizzy for a while, and they couldn't recognize the direction around them at all.

Today is the seventh day of Abner's entry into this terrible desert.

During these seven days, Abner ate all the food and drank all the water.

After losing his way, encountering quicksand, sandstorms, and the bitter cold of the night, Abner resolutely left all his luggage, only a dagger and a water bladder, and continued his spiritual journey.

Licking his dry lips, what is now in front of Abner is to find the water source as soon as possible!

Without food, Abner relied on absorbing the sun's energy, and although his stomach was a little uncomfortable, he was able to hold on.

But without a water source, even with Abner's physique, in this terrifying desert where water evaporates, it can last for three or five days at most.

Looking at the vast desert around him, a feeling of loneliness and loneliness slowly rose from his heart, in this uninhabited desert, he couldn't see a figure for ten days and half a month, which was the most normal thing.

Sometimes, even the sight of a verdant plant can make people feel moved and tears welling up.

More often than not, of course, the wind blows, revealing a white skeleton......

But isn't the path of cultivation inherently full of hardship and loneliness?

Abner was already familiar with this sense of loneliness, in the rainforest of the Amazon, at the summit of Mount Everest......

……

On the tenth day of his entry into the Sahara Desert, Abner entered the borders of Algeria......

On the sixteenth day, Abner entered Niger......

Twenty-three days, Libya......

Thirty-one days, Sudan......

Forty-three days, Egypt......

By the time Abner dragged a Dama deer and a Nubian wild ass into Cairo, fifty days had passed.

Compared with fifty days ago, Abner's clothes were tattered and dusty, but his skin was as clean and flawless as white jade.

The blond hair, which had grown to the waist, fluttered casually with the majesty, and looked like a raging flame from a distance.

Several strangely shaped men were slowly approaching, Abner's eyes swept away, and these people suddenly felt a chill rise from the tail vertebrae, and unconsciously avoided Abner's eyes, and hurriedly dispersed.

After a set of clean clothes, a hot bath, and a few Egyptian pounds for the Dama deer and the Nubian wild ass, Abner lay down comfortably in bed, and used the telephone brought by the inn to call Semen and Kalisa to report that they were safe.

During this period, he was inevitably scolded a few times, but Abner was thick-skinned and didn't care.

After hanging up, I thought about it and called Simmons again, asked about the situation of the Martial Arts Hall and Somla, and finally relieved myself after hearing that everything was normal.

Delicious cheeses, pancakes, a bowl of oddly colored meat soup, and a leisurely trip to the stall owner to get a newspaper, Abner enjoyed this rare delicacy while reading the news in the newspaper.

Stark Industries Chairman Tony Brown. Stark was attacked in Afghanistan a few days ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown! ”

"Tony. Stark's life and death are a mystery, and Stark Industries' stock price plummeted by 20%! ”

"Obadiah Stanley held a press conference to announce that he was actively looking for Stark's traces and to keep the majority of shareholders confident in Stark Industries!"

"Tony. Stark has been attacked, and no armed forces have declared responsibility at this time! ”

According to U.S. military sources, Tony. Stark went to Afghanistan this time to test a new missile! ”

……

As soon as I opened the newspaper, it was full of reports about Stark's attack and unknown fate.

"Iron Man...... That's what it's coming out of! ”

As he munched on the delicious cheese, Abner muttered.

That arrogant, flowery, mean inventor, adventurer, billionaire, playboy!

Then let's go and see the birth of Iron Man!

"Boss! Is there a plane to Afghanistan here? ”

……

Thankfully, Abner left his passport behind when he dropped his luggage, and he was able to get on the plane.

As soon as he got off the plane, Abner was a little dumbfounded, and ran to Afghanistan on a whim to see the demeanor of Iron Man. Where the hell is Stark now......

Standing outside the airport, Abner couldn't help but hold his chin in a quiet daze.

I remember that when Tony fell, it looked like he had fallen into the desert, right?

Afghanistan is mountainous, with plateaus and mountains accounting for 80 percent of the country's area, while the north and southwest are mostly plains, and only the southwest has deserts, so you can only try your luck in the southwest.

……

Coming to find the future Iron Man was just a whim, and Abner's main body was still for his own cultivation.

Five years have passed since the Ninety-Seven King of Fighters competition, and Abner's body bones are also developing, relying on the continuous absorption of the power of the sun, coupled with the continuous quenching of the thunder sound of tigers and leopards, Abner's body has already exceeded the limits of ordinary people, reaching the point of inhumanity.

And relying on the uninterrupted experience of the Amazon rainforest, the summit of Mount Everest, and the Sahara Desert, Abner has been stuck in the domineering bottleneck for five years, and there are faint traces of shaking.

"Then it's decided!"

"If the domineering can't break through LV7 this time, then slow it down!"

"Golden skill points are used to increase the Sun Bloodline to LV4!"

Looking up at the dazzling sun, Abner secretly made a final decision.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Abner opened his mouth in surprise.

With a slight vibration from the ground, a black dot dragging a puff of green smoke fell directly from the sky in the endless blue sky.

Rumble......
