Kapitel 269: The Hunter Who Killed Immortals (20)

Xu Lu slowly exhaled and counted to ten in her mind. When she stopped her breathing exercise, the strange feeling was gone.

The saintess cautiously looked around but could not detect any other lifeforms or threats. The plain was eerily quiet.

No traces of animals and not even a single blade of grass grew on this black soil. Xu Lu walked forward with her feet sinking into the soil ever so slightly.

This area was nicknamed 'The Dead Man Zone' for obvious reasons. Adventurers and mercenaries usually came here to set up camp to rest.

No monsters or dangerous wildlife would come near this place and there were no reports of any disappearances or attacks.

Xu Lu knelt down and used her fingers to lightly touch the black soil. She recoiled in shock as she felt… warmth?

The soil beneath her feet was warm as if something was heating it up. The sand was quite hot to touch to the point where it felt as though her skin was burnt.
