Chapter 185 The First Trial

Seeing this, Xuan Li helped Feng Siyue sit firmly on the back of the Gale Bird, then gently patted her neck. The Gale Bird carried them away in the predetermined direction.

As the sun sets, the shadow of the swiftbird slowly lengthens.

Watching their departing figures, the smile on Ilan's face slowly faded.

"Brother Zhou, organize the troops and hurry back to the desolate west. I want to see who's behind this."

They dared to attack them while the elders were away...

"Okay, boss!"

............

"The Demon Wind Salamander is a social magical beast that lives in the Demon Wind Valley at the southwestern end of the Desolate Flame Thunder Continent. It feeds on the Flame Fruit that grows two thousand meters underground."

"They usually slumber deep in the desert, only awakening when disturbed by external forces or when the Flame Fruit ripens."

"Because a thousand years ago, Demon Wind Valley was a gathering place for demons, and was often plagued by demonic energy, the Wind Sandalwood, which loves sea buckthorn fruit, was also eroded by demonic energy and mutated into Demon Wind Sandalwood."

Feng Siyue tilted her head. "Corrupted by demonic energy? Logically speaking, creatures corrupted by demonic energy are usually brutal and bloodthirsty. Why would they be sleeping in Demon Wind Valley?"

Xuan Li flipped through the bamboo slips and replied, "Well, the reason given here is that demonic energy can amplify inner desires and influence one's Dao heart, leading to the formation of inner demons."

"But coincidentally, the predecessor of the Magic Wind Salon, the Wind Salon, loved sleeping the most. They only thought about sleeping, and even their favorite thorny fruit ranked second."

"So after being corrupted by demonic energy, the Demon Wind Sand Clan simply went underground to sleep, and in that sleep, they slept through the entire war between gods and demons..."

Xuan Li slowed down his speech.

She felt that the bamboo slips seemed somewhat unreliable.

This Demon Wind Salon tribe can go to sleep whenever they want, as if they're just playing around.

"It also says that the Magic Wind Salamander hates being disturbed while it's sleeping, and once it's woken up, it will fight to the death."

"They possess a mutated ability: if they sense a threat, the Demon Wind Sand Shard will activate a self-protective divine power, causing the enemy to go blind and regain the initiative on the battlefield. Therefore, cultivators in the Desolate Flame Thunder Continent often keep their eyes closed, lest they be caught off guard..."

Xuan Li paused, looking at the contents of the bamboo slip, his tone slightly hardening, "Permanent blindness, and no antidote?"

Enraged, she threw the bamboo slips away.

"What lousy information?"

"Feng Siyue, at worst we can go to Xuanzu. He's so powerful, he must have a way to cure your eyes."

Permanent blindness?

Qingqing finally realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately emerged from the spatial dimension, stopping on the camel's hump.

"Little Wind, don't be afraid. I'll go to Demon Wind Valley right now, grab them and torture them severely. I refuse to believe I won't get a solution out of them!"

Who could have imagined that such an unexpected thing would happen during this training?

The contractor's eyes have gone blind!

Feng Siyue herself didn't feel anything. For cultivators, the eyes are just a window to the world. Even if there is no window, there are many other ways to see the outside world.

"Don't worry. Since it's permanent blindness, there's nothing we can do about it now. After the ghost town ends, we'll go to the Bai family to ask. If that doesn't work, we'll go back to our senior."

Feng Siyue made her decision in a calm tone.

Mental power can also see things. The reason she can't see them now is simply because her cultivation level is low. Once her cultivation level increases, she will naturally be able to see clearly.

Seeing how cheerful she was, Xuanli and Qingqing didn't say anything more.

Xuan Li secretly tugged at the pouch containing the Ice Spirit Fruit, intending to use it to send a message to the person whose whereabouts were unknown.

Compared to the Bai family, she trusted Xuanzu more.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Wind Cliff.

Windfall Cliff, as its name suggests, is an abandoned place composed of steep cliffs and broken rocks.

Beyond the Wind-Crushed Cliff lies a sheer drop of over a thousand feet.

Amidst the steep cliffs and jagged rocks, a hidden paradise awaits.

The reason Feng Siyue and his companion appeared here is because there is a teleportation array in the center of Fengduan Cliff that leads directly to 'Ghost Town'. Only cultivators who participate in the 'Ghost Town' trial will know about it.

Of course, there are other routes, but they are much longer.

In a cave, the two stepped into a fairly intact teleportation array. The next moment, a white light shone, and the two disappeared from the spot.

'Ghost Town' was originally named Fisherman's Town.

A small town on the edge of the northwestern continent, located in a desert with few green forests and countless sandworms and rodents.

The town is crescent-shaped and built around a lake in the southeast. It is somewhat desolate due to an epidemic.

The two of them, Feng Siyue and Feng Siyue, appeared in a desert area about a mile away from the ghost town.

Xuan Li pushed Feng Siyue forward a couple of steps, looking slightly bewildered, and asked, "Is this Ghost Town? Where's the town?"

Feng Siyue extended her spiritual power, turned to the side and pointed behind her, "Over there."

Xuan Li turned around and saw the town about a mile away.

"Oh oh."

As they approached the town, Xuan Li saw two people carrying something from the town toward the lake. The object was covered with a white cloth and looked like a human figure.

"Sigh, even Niu Erwa next door couldn't escape it. What a pity for that kid."

"Yes, the Liu family on the west side of town all got infected yesterday. I wonder if we'll get infected too?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
