The gale howled by, accompanied by a strange sound of breaking through the void, and Su Xiao, wearing a hood, instinctively shielded his face with his arm.
With a crashing sound, countless tiny pebbles pelted against the hood.
"How much further?"
Su Xiao's voice sounded somewhat peculiar; he seemed reluctant to open his mouth while speaking. This was due to the 'Rock Rain' peculiar to The Land of Earth. Opening one's mouth while speaking would result in pebbles being blown into it.
The so-called Rock Rain is caused by the unique climate of The Land of Earth. Most of The Land of Earth's territory consists of desolate rock faces and Gobi Deserts, with dry and barren land. The winds howl akin to its neighbor, Wind Country.
While Wind Country blows sand, The Land of Earth blows pebbles — very small pebbles.
Thud, thud, thud...
