Hot air greeted them after entering the third gate, Sayuri almost jumped up as she felt the heat on her soles. This time they were faced with a sea of red sand and so hot.
"Reduce excessive talking and moving so as not to get tired easily and hallucinate. One person one urn of water, use as necessary as we should save. Breathe water to reduce body heat, use your headgear properly if you do not want to faint in the middle of the road. As well as covering your nose and mouth, a desert storm could happen. Minori and lord Phoenix will take us, brother take out your golden dragon."
Keiko gave the water jars and headgear to all her colleagues, after speaking long and wide.
"Let's calm down, Kei, we won't run out of water and food. I'll prepare our mounts."
Arnius calms Keiko down.
"Jung Bao you hear me?"
Arnius tries to communicate with Jung Bao.
"Of course sir, even I can see some places around you sir, what do you need?"
"Did Genta trouble you?"
"Absolutely not master, the dragon is currently being served by Memei."
"Do you have a friend who can run through this desert?"
"Of course, sir, the fastest desert lion."
"Thank you Jung."
Jung Bao only sighed softly and shook his head repeatedly hearing the nickname of his master towards him. It was as if her fierce face had turned sweet like a house cat.
Eight desert lions appeared shortly after Arnius shook his hand.
"Sorry to trouble you, what's your name?"
Arnius spoke politely before nine lions that were taller and larger than himself.
"Afram my lord, we are proud to be of use to the young master."
A lion answered quietly, but to Arnius their voice was still terrible.
"Come aboard, those who will be our friends at this time."
Arnius spoke after jumping up on one of the backs of a large lion.
"Are you sure they won't prey on us first Ar? Anyway, since when have you been friends with this desert lion?"
Zora slightly shuddered as she looked at a lion walking closer to her.
"Nothing will happen, you'll be fine. Come on quick, aren't you guys hot?"
Arnius began to hold a soft feather on the lion's neck and told him to run immediately.
Zora, Zen, Wu Ling, Naoki, Azumi, Sayuri, Haruka and Yuki simultaneously climbed on the back of the huge lion that was already in front of them. And do not forget to hold on to the fluffy fur attached to the body of the large animal so as not to be thrown, or even hug the body of the large animal as done by Zen today.
Keiko sat sweetly on the back of Minori who was flying side by side with the golden Phoenix carrying Eiji on top.
"Is Genta still sleeping in there?"
Arnius tried to talk to the desert lion of his mount.
"No sir, the commander-in-chief is having a meeting with Jung Bao and the other animals."
"Meeting ..? commander in chief ?"
Arnius frowned.
"We all agreed to appoint the golden dragon as commander-in-chief."
Arnius' laughter almost broke after hearing the statement of the ferocious lion he was riding on if he did not immediately restrain it.
**
Jung Bao has always been near a large pearl stone located between the forest and the house. Through the stone, he and all the inhabitants of the black jade knew everything that was happening outside. As long as Arnius doesn't put a cover seal on his bracelet.
"What are you guys looking at?"
Genta seemed to run a little away leaving Memei who was still telling him to eat a lot of food, even the big goose tried to bribe him so as to make Genta shudder and start running away from Memei.
"Sorry sir, did Memei not serve you well?"
Jung Bao slightly looked down in front of Genta.
"Mrs the goose thinks of me like a baby, until I have to be bribed. He's really terrible. Did you tell him to? anyway, what is this place and why are you all gathered here?"
"Honor to the commander-in-chief."
Genta's confusion had not yet been resolved, and all the animals gathered in that place bowed respectfully before him.
"Hey what do you mean and what do you do?"
Genta jumped back in surprise at what happened.
"Are you guys a war squad? after all who are you calling the commander-in-chief?"
The clapper slightly moved away from the crowd of animals.
"We all agree you are our supreme leader, certainly under the orders of Mr. Arnius."
Jung Bao pointed to a gemstone that showed Arnius and his running party riding on a desert lion.
"How would the boy prefer to ride a desert lion than me."
"Where are we now?"
Genta looked around him again.
"In the black jade bracelet of young master Arnius."
Jung Bao replied briefly.
"Then why did you appoint me as your commander-in-chief?"
"You are the most powerful divine animal among us."
" Why are all these troops in form?"
"As the special forces of lord Arnius, to face any attack of demons, monsters or divine beasts though. Please commander review the troops."
Genta frowned, as if he could not believe what he had just heard. Finally Genta prefers to see all the animals that are in front of him, all the animals appear to be lined up neatly according to the type.
The clapper began to approach every line of animals. Look at numbers and ask for their skills and do not forget to ask if they have weaknesses or excessive fears about something. He thought all that he would need to determine the task that will be given later.
Not to forget Genta also flew to check hundreds of bees that lined up according to their type and expertise. There were also dozens of large as well as small birds stretching above the black jade ceiling.
"Thank you for your trust, I'm going out with Arnius. And you're Mr. Jung Bao please watch from the inside."
Genta slightly lowered his head in front of Jung Bao and started walking away from them.
"Roll ball will you be my mount? I see your skin is so thick that you can survive the heat of this desert, right?"
Genta looked back at the line of pangolins.
"Of course the commander, with pleasure."
Pangorin walked slowly closer to Genta. The body of Pangorin that was once small turned enlarged to exceed the Genta body.
"That's what I love about you, let's ask your young master to get us out."
Genta walked beside Pangorin.
"Ar get me out of here with the ball rolling."
Genta began to speak to Arnius through thought.
"All right, commander."
Arnius answered Genta's words with a slight smile on his face.
"You .. hais .."
Genta did not continue his speech, only a long sigh he exhaled.
Not long ago Genta appeared beside Arnius by riding Pangorin which has now rolled quickly.
"You see, this ball roll is awesome."
The little smiling genta looked at Arnius.
"As usual you're watching from behind."
"Good young master."
Genta began to slow down his rolling ball until it was right behind Zen, his old friend.
"Hey old man, can't you sit properly? or do you love that lion so much that you keep hugging him?"
Genta smiled broadly at the position of Zen who was still hugging the back of the lion he was riding.
"I'm afraid this big lion is going to drop my body, I'd better get on your back?"
"No, you stay there. Maybe the lion will ask for your hand or foot in return."
"Oh don't joke Genta, I'm really scared right now."
"But I see your pants are still dry, you haven't pooped in your pants, have you? is it possible that the heat of this desert can dry your pants quickly."
Genta's laughter sounded louder and louder.
"You are, always kidding. Come on, Genta let me get on your back."
"I'm very maneuverable when flying, aren't you afraid of falling?"
"You guys stop joking around, I feel like something's running right over here."
Kin Raiden slightly lowered his body and approached Genta.
"Yes right."
Genta saw that Arnius' hand was already clenched with a blue flame covering it.
They were again surprised by the sound of Afram's growling. The desert lion rode by Arnius has now used the complete Jirah of war as well as other lions. They all felt that there was a great power awaiting their arrival.
Likewise Pangorin, the roll ball that Genta rides now has a skin as hard as brown steel.
"You're great as well as the ball roll, I'll give you something."
The clapper channeled its power through the palm of his hand which always tightly grasped the scales of Pangorin's skin.
There was a flash of blue fire on Pangorin's body that was still rolling, slowly the blue fire began to enter his body.
