Chapter 522: The Danxia Desert and the Wheat Reapers
“Ding, ding, ding...”
The crisp sound of horse bells echoed through the mountains.
Above, the sky was a flawless expanse of blue. Below, undulating hills stretched endlessly in a single direction, resembling frozen waves in an ocean of sand and rock.
Though sparse in vegetation, the landscape was far from monotonous. Instead, it was painted in surreal and dreamlike hues—an earthy base interwoven with streaks of grayish-white, deep blue, crimson, pale red, black-green, and golden yellow. These vibrant layers formed intricate patterns along the hills, their dazzling colors shining under the relentless sun.
The scorching heat was relentless, yet the air was so clean and clear that it felt almost unreal.

She climbed to the highest point, her amber eyes glistening with clarity as she stretched her neck, scanning her surroundings. She took in every detail, her gaze filled with curiosity.
As if finding the sight particularly extraordinary, her pupils dilated ever so slightly despite the bright sunlight.
Then, she turned her head downward.
“Ding, ding, ding...”
A group of figures swayed slightly as they walked toward her.
