We all got ready to walk to walk again and we got in positions.
The barrier slowly disappeared from its position and we again were in the burning heat of the deserts.
[DING YOU HAVE GOTTEN THE CURSE OF EXHAUSTION 1]
[YOU WILL LOSE 2 STAMINA PER HOURS]
We again walked towards the the place we are supposed to go to to end the race.
As we kept walking we all were focused on reaching the end and were determined to reach atleast in the 3rd place.
We kept walking for another 6 minutes or so .
As we kept walking forward we finally saw a rock on the ground.
(22)
(So my guess was correct it was now a stone per 1km)
(This will be a huge problem now that each stone was 1kn away from eachother)
(And I wonder what would happen if we crossed the 10km mark?)
(Will we have to now do 10km per stone?)
(No that is way to absurd)
(Unless we have a person in here who has Extra ordinary eyesight we will never reach the end)
As we kept walking for another 5 to 6 minutes we finally saw humans from ahead.
(Finally we see another group of team)
(That means we are finally catching up to the other teams)
(Wait are aren't this the group that was first to enter the desert and run why are all of them still standing there)
Smiles.
The moment I saw a person smile who while looking at us immediately realised what was happening.
Lucian saw through there disguise aswell with his piercing eyes.
(INTIMIDATION)
I activated my skill whilst being behind Lucian.
THUD.
all of them suddenly slammed on the ground.
Lucian was suprised by there behaviour but he didn't help them at all he only looked at them before he kept walking .
The other team members didn't say anything and followed him.
The guys on the ground were pissiing there pants in fear as they couldn't even stand up from fear.
(23)
I counted in my head as I looked at the rock.
(Wait?)
(Is that another rock on the ground?)
(Should i count it?)
(No I probably don't need to)
I didn't count the rock on the ground and left.
As we kept walking the group of team behind us got into there consciousness.
They all had confusion written on their face but one person had different expression.
I will kill those bastards.
A bulky looking guy said.
We slowly Walked through the desert little my little.
As we walked by after half an hour we finally met another group of teams.
This team was inside a golden buble eating some slice of bread and water.
They all stared at us go past them.
We didn't care as we continued our walk .
(28)
(2 more and then we can find reach the 10km mark although we would be going over 11km in that time but who cares)
We walked for another 3 minutes before stopping.
Lucian casted a barrier around us.
(This time Lucian ate one slice of bread and some waters)
Nothing really happened during this time but my danger senses were getting higher and higher.
As if something was watching us from afar waiting to attack us.
After some time we kept walking and finnaly reached the 30th stone.
[DING YOUR CURSE HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO EXHAUSTION 2]
[DING YOU WILL NOW LOSE 3 STAMINA PER SECOND)
After another 6 hours
(36)
(I can't believe we have been they really made it 10km per rock)
I said with sweats falling all over my body.
(I still don't know how we are able to walk so forward)
But I suddenly heard a noise that I have been wanting to hear.
(DING THE CURSE EXHAUSTION 2 HAS BEEN LIFTED DUE TO SUN GOING DOWN.)
I looked back to see that the sun was finnaly down and night was falling.
"INTIMIDATION "
I used my skill and looked at the upcoming attacker.
Swirl
I saw a small tail immediately going inside the sand.
my eyes widened in shock as I kept looking at that place of the tail.
Hoi Lucian do you want to rest here till the sun rises up?
No what are you talking about?
This is the perfect time to walk we can't waste our time while we don't have any curse or any heat that will hinder us.
Than how about we run than? In the night time we will have no way to keep us warm so we might as well run.
He looked at all of the group members.
no we will walk we don't have that much stamina to spare.
He said as he ignored me and kept walking.
I looked behind to see if any danger was behind.
...
It was ghost silent.
Nothing was there.
Except for our sand walking sounds there was no sound behind us.
I decided that I would be keeping a guard on what that thing was.
As we kept walking we finnaly reached the 40th stone.
[DING YOU ARE THE 5TH GROUP TO R[EACH THIS PLACE]
(Wait 5th group?)
(I thought it was 9th or 8th group)
[DING A SPECIAL EVENT IS HAPPENING]
[ALL OF THE 5 GROUPS WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO THE SAME LOCATION]
(huh what's happening?)
We all started to glow white and got transported.
Far behind us a snake was looking at us the entire time.
Beside him were 12 bodies of the dead Humans.
He also started to glow white and disappeared.
SWISH! SWISH!
we all were transported to a sandy place.
I looked around to see about 40 people in total.
[DING A SPECIAL EVENT IS HAPPENING]
[EVERYONE PLEASE GET IN FORMATIONS]
[THIS IS A TEAM EVENT IN WHICH YOU WILL BE PARTICIPATING WITH YOUR TEAM MEMBERS]
[YOUR GOAL IS TO KILL THE SECOND STAGE MUTANT SNAKE]
[IF YOUR TEAM IS ABLE TO COMPLETE THIS MISSION THE FASTEST THEN YOUR TEAM WILL AUTOMATICALLY WIN THIS FIRST TRAIL]
We all got transported in a separate desert place.
But this place was not that hot.
But more like normal earth's temperature.
[DING YOU HAVE GAINED A STAMINA POTION]
[POTION OF STAMINA]
[DESCRIPTION:RECOVERS ALL OF YOUR STAMINA]
I was surprised by the sudden change of environment.
Everyone get in formations and get ready for the attack!.
Lucian shouted as he got in a defensive stance.
All of the other team members also got in their position.
I didn't know what was happening and only stayed still.
[DING THE SPECIAL EVENTS BOSS IS BEING TRANSPORTED TO YOUR LOCATION]
Suddenly from the ground a huge rumbling started occur.
as I watched a huge snake started to appear.
Emerging from the sand, the colossal sand mutant snake looms with an awe-inspiring presence. Its immense, sinuous body stretches for dozens of feet, scales glistening in the harsh desert sun with a sandy hue that perfectly matches the surrounding dunes. As it rises, grains of sand cascade off its massive form, creating a cascading effect that accentuates its sheer size.
The snake's head, as large as a boulder, breaks the surface first, its piercing yellow eyes scanning the landscape with predatory intensity. Sharp ridges adorn its head, adding to its fearsome appearance, while its mouth, lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth, opens to reveal a dark, cavernous maw. The creature's powerful body follows, undulating as it emerges, creating ripples in the sand like waves on a beach.
With a swift, fluid motion, the sand mutant snake fully reveals itself, its muscular form poised to strike. The air around it shimmers with heat and dust, the remnants of its subterranean journey. As it moves, the ground trembles slightly, a testament to its incredible mass and power.
[DING SAND MUTANT SNAKE HAS BEEN TRANSPORTED ]
[THE TIMER WILL START IN 10]
[9]
lucian looked at the mutant snake with determination.
He spoke in a low voice.
I must kill the first no matter what.
I need the "eye's of the sand" no matter what.
I can do it I can do it .
I looked at his intense determination with suprise.
lucian turned his eyes toward me.
ZERAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING GO IN FORMATION!
huh?
Oh okay
I looked at the formation and understood It.
I stepped forward with my hands in a boxing position.
[8]
The barrier between us and the boss were slowly disappearing.
The other people were confused as I was just right by Lucian's side.

I looked at his stats with shock in my face.
(How the hell are we even supposed to defeat that guy?)
(The only skill that can even work is intimidation and other.)
(I just hope there will be atleast 300 zombies with that snake)
