While Stronghold 144 was celebrating, a huge lizard was crawling through the Gobi from the Kingdom of Sorcerers to the Central Plains at an extremely fast speed.
The seemingly desolate Gobi supported an extremely rich ecosystem and a vast variety of species.
There were wild horses, wild donkeys, argalis, bharals, multi-ocellated racerunners, chukars, wolves, lynxes, foxes, and also a large number of rodents and lagomorphs roaming here.
A lot of people thought there wouldn't be a single animal found within a vicinity of tens of kilometers in the Gobi Desert, but in fact, the density of these living things was much greater than they could imagine.
These creatures were living peacefully in the Gobi until Midnight arrived like a sandstorm and sent them fleeing fearfully in all directions.
They were like animals seeking refuge before an earthquake.
