Banner of the Evil God

The gray-black Gobi Desert is full of messy gravel. Occasionally, there are weeds or shrubs growing among the gravel, which are also low, like people bending over and crawling on the ground, unable to raise their heads due to the burden of life.

Looking far away, near the northwest horizon, the towering barren mountains are just a long black shadow between heaven and earth, and in any other direction, you can only see the blue sky and black ground. As the distance increases, the sky gradually becomes less blue, and the ground gradually becomes less black. In the end, the sky is gray and the ground is also gray. The hazy gray is connected together, and you can't tell where the sky is and where the ground is.

This is the Great Gobi Desert, one of the three major deserts in the main plane.

On this continent called the "main plane", there are many large and small deserts. Three of them are particularly large, located in the northwest, northeast and southeast of the continent.

The northwest is called the Great Gobi Desert, which is characterized by a lot of stones, and except for the central area of ​​the desert, most areas actually don't have much sand, and are dominated by gray-black gravel wastelands. There are many strong winds and sandstorms here. Once the sandstorm called "Black Storm" starts, even the legendary strongmen will flee. Because of it, the Desolate Mountains in the west and the Wilderness Empire in the east are completely separated. Only the most fearless merchants dare to try to cross it with the help of weather observation spells to seek huge profits - although most of them have no news after setting off and never seen again.

The northeast is called the Death Meteorite Desert. This desert is a bit long and narrow, distributed along the coastline, adjacent to the Dragon Mountains in the north, and extending to the Blue Moon Kingdom in the south, just separating the Holy Angel Kingdom from the sea. It is said that a long, long time ago, there was no such desert in the world. The army of the Holy Angel Kingdom and the army of the sea clan fought fiercely on this narrow coastline, and the gods of both sides also died one after another. After a shocking battle, hundreds of miles along the coast turned into a gray-yellow desert. To this day, people often see huge skeletons and broken weapons in the desert, and many terrifying monsters roam in it. The names "death" and "fall" come from this.

The desert in the southeast is called the Golden Desert, which is the most harmless of the three deserts. There are neither terrifying sandstorms nor terrifying monsters here, only blue sky and golden sand. The sand is very fine and shines like gold in the sun. Standing on the edge of the desert, watching the sun rise or set from the horizon where the sky and the sand are connected is a world-famous beauty. However, this desert is extremely barren, and there is almost no water source in the desert. Even if there is a spell to determine the coordinates and not get lost, thirst and heat alone are enough to be fatal.

If Sui Xiong wants to go to the Secret Tower Federation, he must first cross the Desolate Mountains, then cross a large Gobi Desert, go south along the Gray Stone Mountains, cross the Ancient Wood Swamp, cross the Broken Cloud Mountains, and then cross the Ancient Forest before he can arrive.

This road is full of dangers. Normal people who dare to walk this way must be tired of living. Even experienced adventurers will be terrified. Generally speaking, the most reliable way to get from the Secret Tower Federation to the four towns in the northwest is to take a boat to the sea, sail along the coastline, and finally change to land travel in the north of the Gold Coin Federation, passing through the gap in the south of the Desolate Mountains to reach Rye Town.

But that road requires a huge detour, and there are also many risks in sailing on the sea. Although Sui Xiong is not afraid of the risks at sea, he is also not afraid of the risks on land. Anyway, his way of traveling is flying instead of walking, and the impact of the rugged road on him is very limited, so after some consideration, he still chooses to go in a straight line.

After all... between two points, the straight line is the shortest.

Going in a straight line is a unique right of the strong.

Sui Xiong's incarnation floated in the air about a hundred meters high, flying slowly towards the south and slightly east. He would stop every once in a while, cast a spell to determine the current coordinates, and then continue to move forward.

He was going to a small town in the central and western part of the Secret Tower Federation, named Jinta. The reason for this name is that there is a golden magic tower in the center of the city. The Secret Tower Federation is essentially a federation of towns built around the magic tower. The residents here are all servants and disciples of the magicians, and those who can serve as officials are relatives of magicians, even if they are not magicians. The name "Magic Country" comes from this.

But that was when the federation was first established. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the Magic Country is no longer so pure now, with many more bureaucrats and nobles.

For example, the relatives of a senior magician always have to gain power and status. The disciples of a legendary magician always have to have a place to settle. The previous generation worked hard, and the next generation should naturally be able to inherit the power and status...

Satan was originally a genius boy in the Golden Tower City with a bright future. But since he had a conflict with a boy who had no magic talent but had a senior magician grandfather, his future became bleak. After a period of life full of setbacks, he finally gave up the fantasy of developing peacefully in his hometown, left his hometown, and became an adventurer.

That was... almost ten years ago.

Ten years of wandering and adventure made him bid farewell to his youth and grow into a young but experienced adventurer, and also stepped into the realm of an intermediate magician.

But if he had not been forced to leave his hometown, perhaps he would only need five years to grow to his current level.

When he talked about this, it seemed that he had let go of the past grievances, but Sui Xiong could clearly feel his inner resentment and unwillingness through the induction of his soul.

After all...his only mistake in that incident was to help someone he shouldn't have helped and disturb the young master's fun.

Satan didn't say these things, but since he had already believed in Sui Xiong, his heart was defenseless against Sui Xiong. When those unforgettable past events surged into his mind like a tide, Sui Xiong didn't even need to deliberately spy on them, he could clearly see the scenes.

So, he secretly made a decision to take advantage of this trip to help his believers to understand the grievances.

No, even if Satan was not his believer, since he knew about this, he would not ignore it.

If the road is not flat, someone will step on it, and if things are not fair, someone will take care of it. If no one cares, then there is still the Jellyfish God who can take care of it.

Well, the Jellyfish God is out now.

Perhaps because of his good luck, Sui Xiong flew in the sky for almost a whole day and was close to the edge of the Gobi Desert. After all, his route did not need to cross the Gobi Desert, but only pass through the area close to the edge.

The sunset in the sky had already set, and without the warmth of the sun, the temperature of the ground was rapidly dropping. The night in the Gobi Desert was as cold as the ice fields in the north.

However, the night had both advantages and disadvantages. In this cold night, most dangerous poisonous insects would fall into a deep sleep, and the most dangerous sandstorms also rarely occurred at night. As long as you are careful and alert to those monsters that appear at night, it would be safer to hide during the day and move at night.

Sui Xiong floated quietly in the air. In fact, he did not need to rest, but his long-standing habit made him like to rest when the night fell and enjoy the sleep that was indispensable as a human being.

The moonlight was good tonight, and the floating jellyfish stretched their bodies as much as possible, taking advantage of the rest time to fully absorb the moonlight. Around it, magic power formed a huge vortex, which collected all the magic power within hundreds of meters around. If a creature with magic vision looked up at the sky, it would be frightened by this strange scene.

For Sui Xiong, this was not only a rest, but also a meal, and even more a practice.

Just as he was quietly enjoying his rest, he suddenly heard the sound of chasing and running from the ground. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was a group of panicked people being chased by a man in black riding a unicorn swift dragon.

Sui Xiong was stunned and was about to rush to rescue people, but stopped again.

He noticed that more than one of the people being chased had strange necklaces hanging around their necks. The necklaces were made of bones, and the one surrounded by the crowd, who was obviously the leader, had a necklace on his neck that was clearly made of human fingers!

The tentacles of the soul spread out, and in the sight of the god, Sui Xiong saw crying souls entangled in those necklaces, wailing and unable to leave.

"Hunters... believers of the God of Hunting and Slaughter. Evil men who take 'humans' as prey, many of whom work part-time as killers..." As a common evil force, Sui Xiong recognized the origins of those guys at a glance - after all, the "Hunter Necklaces" on their necks were too obvious evidence, and anyone with adventure experience would not make a mistake.

Although Sui Xiong had no adventure experience, the information of the God of Redemption also mentioned this evil organization: they are the most brutal of the followers of the God of Hunting and Slaughter, believing in the absurd view that "hunting the same kind can please the gods", and are keen on killing their own people and holding cruel blood sacrifices. The necklaces hanging around their necks are the remnants of the victims they killed and sacrificed. With the power of this necklace, they bound and tortured the souls of the dead as a symbol of honor and power, and derived several powerful spells from it.

There is no doubt that even among the villains, the "Hunters" are the most brutal and terrifying. Since they met today, Sui Xiong did not intend to let them see the sun tomorrow!

The man in black chasing after them was not a kind gentleman either. Although there were no ghosts around him, the special spell "Eye of Faction Identification" showed a bright and vigorous red color. He was obviously a violent and aggressive character who had killed countless people.

By the way, when you look at those "hunters" with the "Eye of Faction Identification", you will see a surging black, turbid and disgusting!

Sui Xiong guessed that the scene in front of him was probably a common drama in the underworld - black eating black.
