In the warm sunlight, the desert became a sea of golden sand. The desert beasts were quietly hidden within the sands and waiting for their prey.
Looking at the horizon it was possible to see a shadow running across the desert, about a kilometer away, three more shadows were seen. The three shadows were chasing the shadow ahead.
The group running through the desert was Liu Yang and the three men of the blood race. They had been running for almost a week through the desert and under the hot sun.
Liu Yang ran purposefully always in the morning and afternoon, as it was the time when the sun was at its hottest. The three men of the blood race were having a hard time keeping up with Liu Yang, they had to spend some pills and elixirs along the way.
The three regretted not trying to capture Liu Yang inside the city, instead of following him to Ivy. They would have saved a lot of time and effort.
