Fifty miles outside of Kas is the most well-known uninhabited land on the mainland, the Dantur Desert. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Dantur Desert is the largest desert in the continent, accounting for about one-eighth of the total area of the western region. It is about 2,000 kilometers long from east to west and between 700 and 1,000 kilometers from north to south, with a total area of about 120,000 square kilometers. Bordered by the ocean to the east, the Atlas Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea to the north, and a semi-desert and steppe transition zone to the south, the Dantour Desert is the most unsuitable place on the continent for life.

The main topographical features of the Dantour Desert include: shallow, seasonally flooded basins and large oasis depressions, rocky highlands, steep mountains, and sandy beaches, dunes and sand seas.

The climate here is dominated by the north-south transition of the trade wind belt, with many extremes. It has the highest evaporation rate in the world and has a record for the largest area without rain for several years. Temperatures can reach frost and freezing at high altitudes, while lower altitudes have some of the hottest days in the world. The desert is made up of complex and regular arrangements of large and small dunes, with complex and diverse forms, including tall fixed dunes, low mobile dunes, and large areas of fixed and semi-fixed dunes. Fixed sand dunes are mainly found in the southerly near the grassland and along the Atlantic coast. From Libya to the west to Algeria is a zone of quicksand, with shifting dunes moving downwind.

For a long time, the Dantour Desert was a danger that hindered travelers' in-depth exploration. It has also become the only way for the elves to enter human society.

The desolation and beauty of the Dantour Desert is a constant threat, which requires considerable physical strength, courage and extensive experience in the wilderness. People are very small in the vast sea of sand, and only by obeying the laws of the desert can they safely get out of the desert. Adventure is always associated with danger, but careful planning and meticulous preparation will minimize the risk, which is where the confidence of the explorer to survive in the difficult situation lies.

Because the city of Kas is located in the middle of the sea and desert, the wind and sand are very strong, and most of the inhabitants of the city are dressed in robes, veils on their heads and faces, both men and women, and only a pair of eyes are exposed, even in the hottest weather. The two of them did as they could, put on this rather interesting outfit, and then went shopping under the guidance of a guide sent by the hotel.

The two of them did not plan to hire a desert guide, because the most clever guides had never left this great desert, they bought a large number of long-sleeved change of clothes in the city, as well as a large amount of edible water, fruits and dried meat and dried food, in order to hold the maximum amount of water, except for those important items, the rest of the things in the space ring were cleared.

Of course, with the feet of the two, I am afraid that it is impossible to get out of the desert, so the camel has become the best means of transportation, the camel is quite hungry and thirsty, every time you drink enough water, you can not drink water for several days, and you can still move in the hot and arid desert area. When the body is short of water, the tube immediately stops secreting fluid, and a crust forms on the surface of the tube, so that it absorbs the exhaled water without losing it to the body, and when inhaling, the water in the crust can be sent back to the body. In this way, water is repeatedly circulated and used in the body, so it is quite thirst-tolerant.

Without these camels, with the footsteps of humans, even as two magicians, I am afraid that they would not be able to get out of the desert.

The two bought four camels, and Chris planned to buy a few more, if it weren't for the fact that the camels also needed a lot of drinking water.

After a night's rest in the city of Kas, the two rode their camels towards the Great Desert of Dantour.

For thousands of years, the Desert of Death has become a lonely world where no one has set foot in it.

Today, the long-lost desert of death has finally welcomed two visitors.

The Dantour Desert is very large, and such a vast area has become a deserted world of death because of the year-round dry and rainy days, and the harsh climate and environment.

There are sandstorms and tornadoes all the time, and the air temperature is as high as 60 degrees during the day, and the ground temperature is even more terrifying, and it doesn't take long for the eggs to be cooked, while the temperature at night is as low as zero.

Two hundred years ago, there were many professionals who wanted to accomplish this expedition, including rank 8 magicians, but they all failed, and after entering the desert, they never came out again.

The camel's four strong hooves, stepping on the hard sandy ground, the heavy body left a series of U-shaped hoof prints on the ground, and it has not yet entered the depths of the Dantur Desert, where the degree of desertification is not serious.

The two sat on camels, their bodies wrapped tightly in thick clothes, and even the eyes were covered with a veil.

This is where Pandis's water magic comes in handy, although there are very few water elements in the desert, and a third-level freezing technique can only make the two of them slightly lower the temperature around them, and even the skin on the surface of the two of them can't be harmed, but the low temperature brought by it can still make people feel refreshed, just because of this, the two simply rode on a camel and squeezed tightly between the two humps, which is also convenient for the two of them to grind their ears and temples.

At night, the temperature dropped sharply, and the two were even crammed into the same tent, two young boys and girls who had just met each other, this unbearable harsh environment for ordinary people, but prompted the two to get tired of being together all day long, and almost never separated.

The heat, the bitter cold, the drought and the sun did not pose much of a threat to the well-prepared two, but the most threatening thing for them was the sandstorm.

In the three days since entering the desert, they have encountered several sandstorms, almost once a day, overwhelmingly sandwiched with yellow and clear sand, surging, the heaven and earth are full of devastating violence, the wind is so strong that it can blow an unobstructed adult into the sky, even if the heavy clothes on the two of them, they can also feel the impact of the sand particles flying at high speed.

But in the Dantour Desert, this is just the most common small dust storm.

At this time, the camel's eyes have long eyelashes that protect the eyes from strong sunlight and prevent the entry of foreign objects such as sand in sandstorm conditions. The powerful winds and sand that blow during a sandstorm can blind the camel's eyes. Camels have double eyelashes that protect them from wind and sand, but they don't have a way to resist until a strong sandstorm.

But they can sense the strength of the desert wind with their sense of smell, and they will be impatient before the sandstorm is approaching, and at this point the experienced Pandis comes into play, gathering all the camels together, and then turning her back to the sandstorm, and the two of them huddle together on the side of the camel, and so on until the sandstorm passes.
