2998 A Demonic Transformation (1/2)

The Flying Serpent had a tough time waiting for her.

Gu Xijiu wanted it to stay outside the desert. However, it could not stop worrying about her. In fact, it had already tried to contact her not long after Gu Xijiu ventured into the desert, but the connection could never get through.

Fortunately, Gu Xijiu had warned it about the oddities of the desert. She had already suspected that there would be a barrier to hinder all means of communication with the outside world, so it would be normal that their calls would not go through.

Therefore, with the information it was given, it patiently waited.

The first day passed by. Then, another two days passed.

Gu Xijiu never sent any messages and did not show up. Hence, the Flying Serpent stood outside the desert like a statue, waiting for her return.

It was not ready to tell Di Fuyi about what had happened as he was occupied with his tasks, too. Many places were left unexplored, so it did not want to burden him as there was no guarantee that Di Hao was in this desert.

It could only wait and hope that Gu Xijiu could make it out within five days.

Nevertheless, the constant expansion of the desert was one of its many concerns.

The entrance of the desert used to be further away from the city; in fact, it was thousands of miles away.

The extreme heat of the desert managed to keep people away, except for the friars who volunteered to behead the evil creatures that were rumored to exist. Besides them, there was hardly anyone who passed by, at least for the past three days when the Flying Serpent was there.

Although it was commonly known that the desert was expanding, the rate of expansion was uncertain.

Since the Flying Serpent was standing by the entrance for a few days, it was able to monitor the condition of the desert. From its observation, it found that the desert would expand by a few miles a day. Also, the temperature would rise day by day.

As a fire element majestic beast, the Flying Serpent was supposed to be able to flourish in the heat. However, it found the heat there to be unbearable.
