Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 578 The Dead Wind of the Canyon
These indigenous scripts are also quite complex.
Yu Changsheng immediately used his Essence Points to max out his language proficiency.
After a moment, Yu Changsheng tried to speak, uttering a rather strange syllable.
Wang Ji was slightly surprised and said, "You said the word 'I'? Not bad, you grasped it very quickly."
This time, Yu Changsheng tried speaking a complete passage. With the added advantage of practice, after he finished speaking...
It's not awkward at all.
Now, Wang Ji's face showed some shock.
"I didn't expect you to master it so quickly. As expected, none of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island disciples who can enter the Holy Land Secret Realm are ordinary people."
Yu Changsheng then handed the jade talisman to Chen Xueqing, so that she could also learn how to use it.
Wang Ji asked, "Now that you've all learned their language, can you take me out?"
Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Of course, there's no problem."
"But right now, the Holy Land Secret Realm has only just begun, it's a bit too early to go back."
"You can wait here for a while, or I can arrange for a few people to take you back."
Wang Ji nodded and said, "Alright! I'm already tired of staying here."
"Besides, I am now seriously ill and probably don't have much time left."
"The only thing I miss is going home to visit my family."
Seeing this, Yu Changsheng no longer refused and planned to find some of Lin Hao's men to arrange this matter later.
In any case, it's quite easy to assign an identity to this old man.
With so many people entering this sacred and secret realm, there are bound to be those who suffer misfortune and unforeseen events.
All we need to do is have this old man take their identities, pretending to be seriously injured, and send them back to Sea Beast Sky Island.
As for the outside, as long as Lin Hao's men are there to provide support, everything will be fine.
Yu Changsheng briefly explained the plan to Wang Ji, who was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Yu Changsheng.
"Now that the matter has been decided, we only need to wait for the right opportunity. I will hand over the reins immediately."
"Once they've made all the arrangements, you can set off."
Wang Ji nodded repeatedly, tears welling in his eyes. After waiting for so long, his wish could finally come true.
Yu Changsheng asked again:
"However, I still have some questions I'd like to ask."
Wang Ji immediately said to ask whatever he wanted, and that he would answer any question he knew without reservation.
What Yu Changsheng was most concerned about was naturally the news about these natives.
According to Wang Ji's previous statement, these indigenous people only appeared in the last twenty years or so; they had never existed before.
So where did these people come from? Yu Changsheng was certain that Wang Ji had also been curious about these questions.
Wang Ji nodded and said, "I did indeed inquire about this matter with the people here."
"However, judging from what they said, it seems that the place where they originally lived was occupied by a more powerful group of people."
"So they had no choice but to keep migrating, which is how they ended up in this place."
"Someone even more powerful? Could it be those who attacked Lu Chengfeng?"
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but feel puzzled. Chen Xueqing also turned to look at him, her eyes showing the same expression, seemingly thinking the same thing as Yu Changsheng.
"Did they say anything else about this to you?"
Wang Ji didn't know why Yu Changsheng was so curious about this, but he still told him everything he knew.
Those people were far stronger than the local natives, and their fighting style was completely different from theirs.
Furthermore, those people often rode a special aerial beast that was extremely fast.
Fortunately, those people were not interested in some of the weaker indigenous populations.
Otherwise, they would have had no chance to escape.
Wang Ji then said some other things, but they were no longer of much significance to Yu Changsheng.
Besides, Wang Ji didn't know much else either.
After all these years, in order not to miss any disciples entering from the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, he has always stayed in this vicinity and has never left.
Coupled with their own lack of strength, they dared not venture too deep into the secret realm.
Therefore, not much is known about this sacred and mysterious place.
Seeing that Wang Ji couldn't provide much information, Yu Changsheng stopped asking questions.
Instead, he pulled Chen Xueqing outside.
"Holy Maiden, it seems we must continue deeper into the region; staying here will likely yield little more information."
"And it seems that Lu Chengfeng was captured by the people Wang Ji mentioned."
Chen Xueqing also understood the risks of continuing to delve deeper.
However, if one wants to win first place in this Holy Land Secret Realm trial, one must continue to delve deeper.
Chen Xueqing nodded and said, "Alright, let's not delay. If you've made up your mind, let's set off now."
Yu Changsheng was taken aback, not expecting Chen Xueqing to be in such a hurry.
However, he understood that the journey to this place had already taken quite some time.
Although some information was obtained, it wasn't a complete loss.
However, the two of them have yet to obtain any materials for the Nascent Soul stage.
Yu Changsheng immediately spoke with Wang Ji inside the room, giving him a way to contact the other disciples of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island.
Tell him to go to the vicinity of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range to contact the other party, and then take him away from this place.
However, before the two left, Wang Ji still gave them a map.
Although Wang Ji had never left this place.
However, he was very familiar with the surrounding area.
The surrounding mountains and dangerous places were all clearly marked.
After dealing with the matter, Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing immediately set off.
Before leaving, they exchanged some local clothing and decorations with the natives, just in case.
According to the map given by Nawangji.
There's almost nothing left to explore in this area.
To go deeper, you must cross the Dead Zone Canyon.
Otherwise, it would be a long detour, taking at least half a month.
But time was of the essence for the two of them, so they had no choice but to risk coming to this canyon.
After traveling for half a day, the two had arrived near a dark swamp.
The sky was overcast, and the area seemed to be perpetually gloomy, with occasional light rain making it even more damp.
The ground was muddy everywhere, and Yu Changsheng didn't want to go down, so he summoned the Golden-Winged Roc to cross the swamp.
And at the end of the swamp lies the Dead Zone Canyon.
The reason Wang Ji called this canyon the Dead Zone Canyon is because death winds would occasionally appear in the canyon.
Anyone caught in this deadly wind will be instantly reduced to a bloody mess. Even a master of the Purple Mansion realm cannot withstand it for long before being reduced to a skeleton.
Wang Ji rarely came here to explore. He only knew that the Dead Wind would appear once a period of time, but he had no way of knowing the specific pattern. He could only rely on luck to get through this canyon.
Wang Ji admitted that he didn't have the guts to try it; he had only seen the Death Wind appear once before, from afar.
All creatures that entered the canyon were reduced to piles of white bones, and from then on, Wang Ji dared not even approach them.
The two arrived at the mouth of the canyon. Although the canyon was calm and quiet at the moment, it was eerily silent.
The massive skeletons half-buried in the valley are a testament to the recent deadly winds that swept through the area.
Both sides are extremely smooth stone walls, as if they have been washed by water for hundreds of years, so naturally there is not a single plant in sight.
Just like its name suggests, this canyon is indeed a place of death.
At this moment, the two of them hesitated.
Whether or not to go straight in became a question.
The best approach, of course, is to wait until the dead wind has passed before entering, which will minimize the potential impact.
The problem is, who knows when the dead wind will return next? It could be a month from now, or it could appear in the next second.
Yu Changsheng looked up, wondering if he could fly directly across this canyon.
He then summoned the Golden-Winged Roc and flew towards the top of the canyon, but it only flew about a hundred meters.
I felt a strange weight pressing down on me.
The higher you go.
The stronger this feeling became, the more difficult it became for Yu Changsheng to withstand the gravity when he rose to two hundred meters.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Even with its peak fourth-tier physical body, the Golden-Winged Roc was finding it increasingly difficult to exert itself.
Left with no other choice, Yu Changsheng could only control the Golden-Winged Roc to land back on the ground.
"How is it?" Chen Xueqing asked anxiously as she stepped forward.
Yu Changsheng shook his head helplessly.
"There must be rules binding us here, making it impossible to cross directly from the air. I estimate that apart from cultivators with high cultivation levels, we wouldn't be able to fly over directly."
"It seems the only way to get through this place is to risk going in."
Chen Xueqing also shook her head, her eyes gradually hardening.
"In that case, I'll go check it out first, and you can cover me from behind."
As he spoke, he actually rushed inside.
Yu Changsheng had no time to stop them and had no choice but to follow.
The canyon was extremely quiet, but there was no sign of any dead wind, only endless stillness.
Neither of them wanted to stay any longer.
However, Yu Changsheng discovered that the deeper he went into the place, the more numerous the various skeletons became.
The deadly wind seemed to devour flesh and blood, but it did nothing to damage the bones.
Pale skeletons occupy almost the entire canyon.
Yu Changsheng glanced around casually and even saw a skeleton tens of meters long.
Clearly, this skeleton was at least a fourth-tier spirit beast in life.
"It's unimaginable how many spirit beasts have died in this canyon. It's estimated that over countless years, there must be at least tens of thousands."
"Perhaps there is the corpse of a fifth-tier spirit beast inside."
Yu Changsheng had no doubt about this whatsoever.
Chen Xueqing didn't object, but simply said:
"Although there must be many good things hidden in this Death Valley."
"But you don't want to lose your life because of these things, do you?"
"Every second we stay here increases the risk we face."
Yu Changsheng chuckled and said, "Hehe, that's natural."
Yu Changsheng didn't want to risk his life, and he didn't want to stay in this Dead Zone Canyon until he was absolutely certain of his success.
Fortunately, this Dead Zone Canyon is not very long, only a few kilometers in length.
However, the journey was extremely winding, which is why it seemed endless.
It didn't take long for the two of them to leave the area of the Dead Zone Canyon.
A canyon instantly dispelled my inexplicably depressed mood.
"Too many living beings have died here in vain; the aura of death is too heavy. Even living things feel uncomfortable just staying in there."
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but look back several times.
Unfortunately, most of the good stuff in this canyon is probably concentrated in the central part.
If you dig carefully, you can definitely find materials for fifth-tier spirit beasts.
Those are genuine materials for Nascent Soul cultivation, but the risk is just too great.
"Let's go."
Seeing that Yu Changsheng was still looking back, Chen Xueqing urged him on.
"Hehe, the Holy Maiden is so open-minded. The things in this canyon could drive countless sects crazy."
"How could the Holy Maiden abandon us like this?"
"If they are all things that cannot be obtained, then they are just fleeting clouds, so why bother to hold onto them?"
"But these things are all genuine. They're not just fleeting illusions; it's just that you have to take huge risks to obtain them."
"I think that if it were someone else, they might really not be able to resist this temptation."
The two were still talking when they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Yu Changsheng suddenly turned around and saw a large amount of death energy suddenly gathering behind him.
Black streams of air seeped out from the cracks in the bones on the ground, and this happened in just a moment.
The black mist began to condense and gradually spread.
In just a few breaths, it had already enveloped the entire canyon.
At a certain point, the black aura immediately became fierce, howling like a gale within the canyon.
The sound was like a ghostly howl, making the entire canyon feel like a living hell.
The dense aura of death continued to spread, radiating a chilling power.
Yu Changsheng's heart pounded, even though he was already outside the canyon.
But the black wind still gave him a feeling that he would die if he touched it.
"This is the Death Wind? It is indeed terrifying."
"Luckily we got out in time, otherwise we would have certainly died."
Yu Changsheng also felt a sense of lingering fear at this moment.
Fortunately, he didn't linger inside out of wishful thinking, otherwise he would definitely be trapped in this deadly wind now, with no chance of survival.
Chen Xueqing's face was also slightly pale as she said, "It seems that the dead wind in this canyon really does appear without any pattern."
"From the initial signs to their complete formation, it only takes a few breaths."
"If we go deeper into the valley, even if we discover in advance that the death wind is about to appear, there will be no time to leave."
Yu Changsheng shook his head. "What a pity, what a pity. It seems we are not fortunate enough to enjoy the treasures within this canyon."
The dead wind lasted for about fifteen minutes before slowly disappearing.
Inside the canyon, it was as if nothing had happened, and it became deathly silent once again.
But Yu Changsheng dared not risk entering again.
Although the dead wind has just ended, it may not reappear immediately.
Who knows when the next dead wind will appear? If you're unlucky, you might lose your life.
"Let's go. This place is not worth our lingering here. It would be better to set off as soon as possible to the depths of this sacred and secret realm."
Chen Xueqing spoke first and then left.
Yu Changsheng also summoned the Golden-Winged Roc and headed in the predetermined direction.
He completely forgot about the many treasures he had found in the Dead Zone Canyon. (End of Chapter)
