Before the sun set the next day, Karl and his party arrived at the edge of the Sahara Desert.
Previously in the city of God Thoth, the god told his cronies about his upcoming trip, and then set off on the road with Karl and the others.
When he left the tower, he only took with him his two attendants, Mihir and Ina. He didn't take anything else with him, so he looked completely alone.
And before setting off, this god even got rid of Mihir and went to the city market to buy clothes, and then changed into ordinary people's clothes.
By the way, after using a strange spell to erase his temperament, this god instantly became ordinary.
Now, if we only look at the appearance, there is no problem for an uninformed person to regard this god as an ordinary traveling civilian.
Next, it’s time to take Egypt’s own railway.
The god Thoth did not object to the use of construction machinery, so the railways in Egypt were also being laid in an orderly manner.
After taking the train and getting off the train, it took them most of the day to reach the edge of the Sahara Desert, as expected.
As a result, this already large group began to enter the interior of the desert with a clear goal.
At night when the stars revealed their true colors and the atmosphere in the desert dropped rapidly, they officially began their desert journey.
Speaking of the desert, Carl's previous understanding of this environment mainly came from the animal world. At best, he only had some common sense from wilderness survival programs.
Now that he has entered the desert in person, he feels that the situation here...
It's quite comfortable.
For ordinary people, the extreme climate in the desert and the rush will cause great trouble.
But when it comes to Karl, this is no longer a problem.
No matter what kind of trouble he has, it is like scratching an itch in front of his powerful physique as an extraordinary person, and it is completely incapable of causing any trouble.
On the other hand, the spotless sky makes people feel very comfortable, almost as carefree as going out for an outing.
In the final analysis, this is the absolute reflection of the difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people.
Of course, Karl's mood did not last long.
Just like countless TV series, movies or novels, people in the desert must encounter a sandstorm.
No matter what the actual probability of encountering this situation is, they will run into it anyway.
In the first week after entering the desert, Karl and the others were on their way normally.
The sky in the distance suddenly darkened.
The light in the desert that had been burned by the sun was no longer so distorted, and the sound of raging wind could even be heard in my ears.
Almost as soon as he noticed something strange, Karl notified the rest of the team.
In terms of perception ability, even the god Thoth seems unable to compare with Karl.
"I think we must have encountered some trouble."
"There was a sound of wind in the distance, it must be a desert storm."
"Oh oh oh!"
"It's a sandstorm!"
Almost at the same time as Karl spoke, Naiya, as if he had seen the beautiful butterfly girl, rushed towards the dark sky without looking back.
Karl could even hear this guy running over and yelling, ‘Here comes the sandstorm!’, ‘This is his first time in the real world!’ and other such idiotic shoutings.
Of course, Karl didn't pay attention to this evil god.
Not to mention that the sandstorm will never kill this guy, even if Naia is swept away or buried in the sand and separated from them, he is sure to get her back directly through the connection between the two.
Rather, it would be a lot cleaner this way.
Seeing Naia rolling up a piece of yellow sand and running all the way out of sight, Karl looked at God Thoth seriously.
As a native god in Africa, this person should be the professional in handling this kind of situation.
So under Karl's gaze, the god actually spoke.
"Don't worry too much, it's just a minor problem."
Regarding the coming sandstorm, God Thoth was very confident. He did not regard this kind of thing as a threat at all, but only guaranteed his own safety with words.
In this case, the panoramic view of the sandstorm soon appeared in their field of vision.
In the direction of the strong wind, the black wall of wind and sand moved quickly along this direction, as if an insurmountable high wall was pressing here.
And this is just the vanguard of the sandstorm.
It was at this point that God Thoth reached out his hand and swiped it casually in the air beside him, and then held a thick slate in his arms.
Immediately, the chanting began with a neither loud nor quiet voice:
“The shape cannot be distinguished from above or below, nor can the appearance be distinguished from near or far;”
"The place where fate will converge, calls for the shield that separates the world from heaven!"
As soon as the words fell, mud-yellow translucent passports rose from around Karl and the others, firmly locking a space with a radius of about five meters.
Next, there is the official attack of the sandstorm.
After the forward passed through Karl's position, the sky was filled with darkness.
Except for the sand and dust hitting the shield, Karl and the others could not see anything outside, as if they were in a pitch-black night.
The only thing that can be seen is the world inside Thoth's divine shield.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound on the shield directly in front, and it sounded like something hit it.
Looking up, Carl's face turned dark.
The person who hit the shield at this time was actually Nyarlathotep who had gone to have close contact with the sandstorm.
This guy didn't seem to expect that God Thoth's shield wouldn't let him pass, so he was now stuck to it like a starfish.
"I......"
The evil god was about to speak, but in the next second, a ball of sand and dust billowing up and down in the air hit Naiya during the staggered rush.
So without even leaving a last word, the evil god was swept away by the sandstorm and disappeared into the dark sandstorm, fully demonstrating to everyone the powerlessness of ordinary people in such a natural disaster.
"..."
Facing Naiya like this, Karl, as always, didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Karl, Miss Naiya...?"
At this moment, God Thoth on the side showed a hint of apology.
He still hasn't figured out the details of Naiya, so in this situation, he subconsciously believed that it was his negligence that led to the loss of his companions.
Seeing that this god was speaking sincerely, his eyes were immediately ready to apologize to him.
Karl also immediately waved his hand and said:
"God Thoth, don't pay too much attention to this guy."
"Naiya is immortal. If she gets lost, I can find her back at any time."
As he spoke, Karl waved his hand, and the next second Naiya was held in his hand.
"Pooh."
Looking at the people who were watching her, Naia opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of sand.
