Desert

Alex grabbed hold of his sword midair and pulled it out from behind him. In a single sweep, the sword hit the centipede square in the head. He didn't manage to cut it open, but the force alone was enough to break it open. 

Alex landed with a thump and roles over a few times to stop himself. He immediately turned around to attack the centipede again, but it was dead. 

He took a deep breath and calmed himself. He wasn't expecting a monster to appear out of nowhere here.

"Damn, isn't there a ton more monster around this place?" he thought. He had to be careful now. 

He felt the heat radiating from the ground and was surprised just how hot the ground still was. He leaned down to grab a handful of the sand and felt it. It was way hotter than he was expecting it to be.
