Sand Wind City was quite a distance from where the border of the Tarask Desert was.
Even though this was the closest city to the Tarask Desert and the last place that one could stop at to resupply, it didn't mean that it was that close either.
The Tarask Desert was a taboo zone for a reason, so no one dared to live that close to it.
It would still take a while to reach the border of the Tarask Desert.
Though that was only by normal means.
Right after leaving Sand Wind City, I immediately had Bolt grow large again before riding on him towards the Tarask Desert.
This time, we weren't heading right for the red dot on the map.
Instead, we were following the map that I had gotten from Sand Wind City.
