The desert at night was no better than the desert during the day, perhaps not as scorching, nor as boundless, yet it was the peak activity time for many dangerous creatures.
Wolves, scorpions, venomous snakes.
The harsher the living environment, the stronger and more lethal the creatures within it are, especially against humans who lack the ability to protect themselves, displaying unquestionably deadly aggression.
However, compared to the harshness of the environment, the most terrifying aspect was still the loneliness within.
The more vast the heavens and the earth, the more insignificant humans appeared.
The unobstructed sky revealed its entirety, intensely releasing a sense of emptiness that magnified the inner loneliness.
Each person's innermost fears hid within them, triggered by the dark night and the infinite starry river, emerging one after another.
Anyone without a strong enough spirit would falter when facing this vast universe alone.
