Upon entering the first level challenge area, the scenery around Ethen Cole abruptly changed. The environment inside the challenge area was constructed using advanced technology to simulate same as real world conditions.
At this moment, the environment of the first level challenge area was a desert. The high temperatures of the desert caused Ethen Cole to sweat quite a bit.
After taking only a few steps, he encountered the first magical beast since entering the Spirit Tower, a Sand Cat.
The Sand Cat had yellow fur all over its body, with a pair of cunning eyes, and remarkably, it had features that were about thirty percent wolf like.
Ethen Cole speculated that it might be a hybrid mutant species.
"Howl!"
The call of the Sand Cat sounded nothing like a Cat; rather, it resembled a wolf's howl.
It glanced at Ethen Cole and then suddenly launched an attack on him. The Sand Cat was extremely fast, even leaving afterimages in the desert sand.
