Book 18 Chapter 2: Part 5
“As long as we go like this, it’ll feel like the sea, just without waves.”
Tiera seemed to have made up her mind: she did not hide anymore, as her hair fluttered in the wind.
Maybe, because they were sailing on waves of sand instead of the sea, the ship did not rock much, if at all. The currents were far more subdued in the sand sea.
“No monsters to be found…”
The party had been wary of monsters emerging from the sands at night, but nothing happened.
They had been on the lookout ever since they set foot in the sand sea, but could not detect any hostile presence. They spotted a few rare monsters moving about on their own, but they showed no intention of attacking the party.
“I suppose they’re all waiting to ambush us?”
“It’s likely. I’ve been having a harder time scanning for monsters ever since we entered the sand sea, though. They might be jamming our senses somehow.”
Shin did not feel like his scanning abilities were halved or neutralized: but if he tried to extend the detection field, he felt as if he was looking at smoked glass: he could see, but not with clarity.
