Stranger Danger

First, the Desert Sea was cold during the day and hot during the night. Its freezing cold could break rocks, and its scorching heat could melt metal. Warriors below the Trueman-stage and Grandmaster-stage could not withstand it.

Next, the Desert Sea did not have any spiritual energy. This weakened some Magia and martial arts or even rendered them unusable. A warrior would also lose spiritual energy, true qi, origin qi and more much faster than normal, but there was no ambient energies they could absorb and replenish themselves. Naturally, this was a terrible environment for any warrior.

Finally, the reason the word “Sea” existed in the name “Desert Sea” was because it was a desert that was as wide as the sea. It was a pipedream to pass through the Desert Sea in a short time, not even if the traveler was a Sage.

Back then, Princess Furi had crossed the Desert Sea as a Half-Sage. Despite all the spirit pills, miraculous medicine, Strange Artifacts and secret treasures she brought with her, it still took her several months to cross the Desert Sea. Despite being protected by multiple treasures, she still landed into multiple crises where a single mistake could have killed her. That was how scary the Desert Sea was.

Without exaggeration, the Desert Sea was a forbidden zone to any living creature. However, it was also thanks to the Desert Sea that most of the Strangers of Bei Yuan were unable to travel south and threaten the humans.

The Snowstorm Silver Owl was useless in the Desert Sea, so Ye Qing released it and sent it home. Then, he and Feng Qingyou entered the legendary forbidden zone.

It was nighttime when they set foot in the Desert Sea, so the first sensation they felt was heat—scorching heat. Although there was no sun in the sky or fire on the ground, the air was visibly warped by an unbelievable heat. It made one feel like they were surrounded by flames or burning inside a furnace.

Strangely, they felt none of the heat before they crossed the threshold. In fact, the border between the Desert Sea and the snowy region was extremely clear. One side was a winterland of snow and ice, while the other side was an endless expanse of yellow sand. It was as if the two regions were cleanly separated by an unknown yet unimaginably great power. Not a single buffer zone could be found between the two regions. It was quite miraculous.

When they first entered the Desert Sea, the temperature was only fifty to sixty degrees Celsius or so. As time passed, the temperature skyrocketed over a hundred degrees. This was just the beginning.

The temperature of the Desert Sea was affected by time. When the day started turning dark, its temperature was at its lowest. As time passed, it would eventually reach a peak of five hundred degrees or so.

Therefore, what they were feeling now was just the appetizer.

Of course, this was nothing to Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou. Qiwa looked extremely uncomfortable though. Although the Water Demon Ape was an Ancient-class Stranger with the blood of an ancient god demon running through its veins, it was also a water-type Stranger. Water and fire did not mix, which was why Qiwa was extremely unused to this level of temperature. It looked sick.
