The air was scorching and the ambient temperature was high, with the air seeming to be around forty-five degrees. Even in the shade where the group was resting, it was still around thirty-six or thirty-seven degrees. Breathing in this environment had a faint scent of burnt things and everywhere around their bodies had an unshakeable feeling of being burned, as if they were being roasted on a spit. Glancing around, one could see hot air slowly rising from the ground outside the forest. It seemed as if the air was being distorted.
