When the Fire Calamity took place, various factions began to take action!
Mo Fan's party, who was currently at the Drifting Sand River was totally unaware that a huge bunch of people was rushing their way to the North Burning Valley.
It was none of the party's concern for the time being, as the demon beasts in the Drifting Sand River had suddenly become agitated. If they stayed any longer in the Drifting Sand River, even Xinxia's Psychic Element would be useless against the White Sand Demons.
”Damn, what is going on here!” cursed Zhao Manyan unpleasantly.
First, they were almost devoured by the Fire Calamity at the North Burning Valley, and when they finally made it back to the Drifting Sand River, the demon beasts here were going out of control.
”Are we heading back or going to the North Burning Valley? We have to make a decision now!” said Zhang Xiaohou.
”It's too late to turn back now, we should head to the Burning Valley as soon as possible...” said Xinxia with a frown.
The crowd felt their hearts going half-cold when they heard Xinxia's words. The Fire Calamity had completely disrupted their initial plan. That place was a lot more dangerous than they had expected. In Mo Fan's opinion, it was not worth it to place everyone's life in danger when the existence of the Flame Belle was still an unknown for the time being.
As such, even though Chen Yi had insisted on continuing on with the adventure, everyone else had lost the interest in searching for the Flame Belle.
To their surprise, even the Drifting Sand River was rebelling too, as Xinxia's Psychic Element seemed to be losing its effect. From their current location, the distance back to Dunhuang was at least ten kilometers. The time left would not be enough for them to reach safety, and they would most likely be trapped in the middle of the Drifting Sand River.
They might be able to deal with the White Sand Giants in a small area, but Heaven knew how many White Sand Giants would appear in the center of the Drifting Sand River. Once the Psychic Element lost its effect, the White Sand Giants could easily wear the party down with their numbers.
”It's not possible to go back now, our only option is the North Burning Valley. Let's hope the Fire Calamity won't happen again,” said Mo Fan as he quickly made the call.
”Don't worry, the Fire Calamity has never happened twice in a year, and I think it will be even longer this time,” said Chen Yi confidently.
”We'll talk later; let's leave this horrifying Drifting Sand River!” said Lingling.
The party quickly proceeded forward. Xinxia was currently sitting on the Swift Star Wolf's back with her eyes closed, fully focused on clearing the path for the party. The frown on her face clearly implied the resistance she was receiving from the restless White Sand Giants as she tried to pacify them.
Luckily, the group had not gone too deep into the Drifting Sand River. The barren land of the North Burning Valley soon appeared in front of them.
---
When they arrived at the shore, they could see a pile of corpses stacked up into a pile in a shocking manner!
Mo Fan clearly remembered that the Warrior-level Killing Armor Beasts were roaming around this area before they escaped into the Drifting Sand River.
It was obvious that the creatures were devoured by the fire while they were hesitating. They were turned into skeletons without any sign of struggling before they could jump into the Drifting Sand River.
”I have to say that I'm done with this place. If I knew it was so scary, I wouldn't agree to come even if I was beaten to death!” said Zhao Manyan, who felt a chill going down his spine.
