บท 480: Stretch of Dry

[Old Treyna, Hollow Foundation Outskirts – "Stretch of Dry", Later That Day]

"The Stretch of Dry"—an infamous region of Old Treyna, infertile as the soil is barren of life and moisture.

In the midst of the summer, it reaches heights of heat that cause death to any unprepared, unsuspecting people within a day.

"Nobody told me this place had this–!" He yelled out. 

"I thought I told you–or Mother did!" Iris yelled in return, running alongside him, "Old Treyna is infamous for its abnormal environment!"

Behind them, as they sprinted over the lifeless, cracked soil that made up the outskirts of the foundation, a towering wave of mud loomed over them. 

"I didn't hear squat!" 

Glancing behind him, the flaming, bulbous slimes squealed as they were caught in the jaws of the tsunami of sludge as it burrowed through the soil.
