At this point, Dustin had spent almost three days searching for any sign that people had being around, and after so much effort, he finally found the group he was looking for. The entire thing was a bit difficult as he couldn't make use of his tamed beasts. The environment wasn't really convenient for his furry beasts, and the sea serpent, because of the skill water loving, it was severely weakened in such a region where the heat was above the roof.
The group he had been in search for hid themselves in a cave, and they went pretty deep inside it to escape the heat. Miraculously, the place they found was a little better than the outside. It was still hot and humid somewhat, but when compared to the outside, it was way better. Inside, the heat was only enough to make them uncomfortable, not kill them.
