The sun was blazing, and even the forest felt a wave of heat.
Martial artists like Bai Ziyue, Zhang Zhen, and Dong Zhengwu, who had cultivated Inner Strength, seemed alright, but other External Forging Martial Artists, with their vigorous Qi and Blood, felt even hotter under the sun.
*Everyone almost felt wilting, not to mention the horses beneath them, whose breath was hot.*
"In another half day, we will reach East City County, let's push forward."
Zhang Zhen called out.
The others tried to muster some energy, but quickly became listless again.
The Little Black Dog panted heavily, feeling quite overwhelmed by the heat as well.
By now, it had accepted its fate as a mount, of course, as a trade-off, Bai Ziyue didn't hesitate to provide it three Blood Coagulation Pills daily.
Soon, the group finally crossed the official road cutting through the forest, finding themselves before a vast stretch of lush green fields.
