Chapter 666 - 594: The Decline of Soul Power
The scorching sun blazed down, and all one could see was an endless desert.
It stretched endlessly.
This location was at the western side of the defense circle, not more than ten kilometers from the frontline.
Behind lay lush forests and layered mountain peaks, with outposts built on treacherous lands.
Ahead,
The lush green grass became increasingly sparse, as if divided by a line; one side green, the other yellow sand.
A troop of five hundred members from the Investigation Corps, clad in uniform combat uniforms, formed battle formations, advancing orderly and swiftly.
It wasn’t long before they delved deep into the desert, their figures engulfed by the swirling yellow sand.
"Chief Instructor, this desert spans nearly one hundred thousand square kilometers, about half the area of the former Tiannan Province. How can we possibly find our target in such an expansive area?"
In the midst of the conversation, the sandy surface suddenly exploded, and a dark brown scorpion tail fiercely stabbed towards a team member at the periphery of the battle formation.
It was a desert scorpion!
A common Mutant Beast in desert environments, not very strong, but adept at hiding; even high-tier Awakeners could be caught off guard.
