Logo reflected on the Northern Spirit Empire’s Divine System while a god awakened briefly in Bai Ge'er’s laboratory, and Caesar fought in the competition. After the first stage, Logo and Crassus chose to compete separately, and the second stage left Logo in a sandstorm-stricken landscape with an unfamiliar hunger and thirst.

Logo reached an oasis and bargained with Kado, chief of the Uvaru People, by promising to extend their survival against Fire Scorch Disease in exchange for their help hunting other contestants. After Kado agreed to see proof, Logo went to the tribe’s storeroom to gather materials and begin his plan.

• Logo gave Kular a pill that cleared the signs of Fire Scorch Disease, then explained that the medicine suppressed the illness for a year and required a formula he would provide when he left in ten days.

• At the mountaintop nest, Logo found five snake eggs and a Sand Sun Tree sapling; when he reached for the sapling, the Mountain Python’s enormous tail lashed down at him.
