476 Fire Calamity, Part Two (2/2)

If these Killing Armor Beasts were trampling over groups of demon beasts, it would be a massacre. Mo Fan never thought such creatures would be running so cowardly from something else.

------

Mo Fan and his crew were running too. They finally approached the Drifting Sand River. They initially thought they had overcome the biggest threat after crossing the Drifting Sand River. Little did they know the North Burning Valley was even less welcoming than the Drifting Sand River, straightaway summoning the fury of Heaven to descend from the sky!

They had rested up before heading into the North Burning Valley, so Xinxia's energy had been replenished. Therefore, it was perfectly safe for them to flee into the Drifting Sand River.

Meanwhile, the herd of Killing Armor Beasts which was absolutely terrified by the Fire Calamity was also aware that the Drifting Sand River was a death zone. They began to panic when they arrived at the shore, not daring to move forward.

”When the creatures trespassing into the Drifting Sand River have a stronger presence or higher numbers, it will awaken more and stronger White Sand Demons in the Drifting Sand River, too. As such, we should stay a certain distance away from the Killing Armor Beasts. Their presence and numbers should wake the Warrior-level Skeletal Generals. Those creatures are not something we stand a chance against,” advised Xinxia.

Everyone nodded. No one dared to follow the panicking Killing Armor Beasts into the Drifting Sand River.

As the party returned to the Drifting Sand River, since they only had a few members, and their aura was a lot weaker than the Killing Armor Beasts, their safety was guaranteed in the Drifting Sand River with Xinxia's Psychic Element.

On the other hand, the Killing Armor Beasts were not as lucky. They were forced to make a decision; should they fled into the Drifting Sand River toward the west, or try facing the Fire Calamity?

Mo Fan and the others had no time to figure it out, as they continued to run toward the west after crossing the Drifting Sand River's boundary.

As they arrived deep into the Drifting Sand River, the Fire Calamity at the horizon finally showed some sign of dissipating. However, everyone was confident that the shocking flames were fully spread across the already-scorched land. The Drifting Sand River was most likely the only place that was not affected.

Hot wind continued to blow in from the distance. Everyone was having a hard time in the heat.

They managed to escape from the horrifying flames, but even the remaining heat from the hot wind was unbearable.

Looking in the direction of the North Burning Valley, the whole place was blazing red, like a kingdom of fire, burning in an ocean of flames!

”I was told that the Drifting Sand River is a river of the dead. The number of White Sand Demons correlates to the number of creatures that have died here. I was confused about how the huge river has such a high density of White Sand Demons, as it needs the same amount of lives dying here...” Lingling glanced at the North Burning Valley and spoke in a thrilled tone. ”I believe one of the most important factors is the Fire Calamity we have just seen, which forces the creatures to jump into the Drifting Sand River like a death sentence. As time goes by, the Drifting Sand River becomes ever more terrifying.”

”Why don't we leave this place? The Fire Calamity is seriously too scary. If we happened to go deeper into the North Burning Valley, doesn't that mean we won't have a chance of getting out alive?” Zhao Manyan was the first to suggest.

No one had expected the Fire Calamity to occur, as none of them had any information about it. Someone else who had experienced it before should have recorded it down in the books...
