As the setting sun slowly sank below the desert horizon, it painted the sky a deep orange-red.
At this moment, even the desert seemed to soften.
A faint coolness began to permeate the air, a stark contrast to the daytime heat.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua thought they were almost at the bottom of the Desert Mountain River, but Xuan Gui told them to wait a little longer.
They said they should wait until the sky completely lost its color before going down, because taking two people down would require them to use energy to cut through the water's surface.
