Chapter 116: The Traveler's Diary

The desert's day was too sweltering for animals to be seen outside, but as night fell and the temperature dropped, countless creatures emerged from their caves, heralding a perilous night in the desert.

The scraping sound of scorpions crawling over gravel echoed through the vast sands, a subtle rustling that defined the night. Rattlesnakes, their scales shimmering in the moonlight, slithered through the desert, while the howling of sand wolves carried far and wide, startling a cluster of sand rabbits. The nights in the desolate sands truly lived up to their bleak reputation, intimidating enough that a player of even slightly fainter heart would likely have trouble sleeping in such a place.
