Chapter 256: The Road Ahead Has Been Set, the Meeting of Enemies in the Desolate Land
Nie Ling pointed at the faint pattern on the paper and spoke lightly.
“This pattern doesn’t look like the shape of the clouds, but the shape of the waves. In other words, those three peaks are most likely in the water.”
Hearing what Nie Ling said, the two looked at it carefully, and it was really so. They did not expect Nie Ling to be able to observe it so carefully.
The faint patterns were already very faint. If they had not observed it carefully, they might not have been able to notice such details.
However, where did the river come from? Or rather, the water?
He raised his head and looked around. He realized that there was no other eye-catching scene other than the desolate land.
“This Wang Baocai really knows how to torture people.” Su Yi could not help but mutter.
At that moment, Li Mengxi squatted down slightly. She was wearing an ink-colored dress that could not block the spring light in front of her chest. It actually gave off a faintly erotic feeling.
One’s heart could not help but move when they saw this. They heard Li Mengxi stretch out her hand and pinch the soil before she said, “no, the wasteland here is relatively moist. Perhaps there is some wetland nearby.”
She looked around her. At first, when they encountered danger, they did not carefully observe the illusory realm around them. Now that Su Yi had arrived, their situation was already safe.
Hearing Li Mengxi’s words, Su Yi also noticed that the desolate land here was not filled with yellow sand. The huge commotion caused by killing the demon beasts did not stir up much dust, it could be seen that the other party was very likely to be near a river or something.
At this moment, a cool breeze blew slowly from a direction. This cool breeze was not as dry as the desolate land. Instead, it felt cool and humid.
Currently, Su Yi, who had attained perfection in both the Five Elements Heaven Vein Mantra and the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Technique, was very sensitive to the five elemental qi.
He closed his eyes slightly and gently felt the aura brought by the wind.
There was no stench of the soil and there was also a faint smell of grass.
It could be seen that this wind did not come from the surrounding wasteland.
When the two women saw Su Yi suddenly close his eyes as if he was feeling something, they did not disturb him and waited quietly for him.
Soon, they saw the corners of his mouth curling slightly as he closed his eyes. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and said, “I know where to go.”
As he said this, he turned around and looked in a direction. This direction was the direction that the light wind blew in.
With that light wind, he felt heavy water vapor. It was not something that this desolate land could bring. Perhaps if he headed in this direction, he might really be able to leave this desolate land.
After all, this barren land was very big. Who knew how many Earth-devouring Centipedes were hidden underground? It would be really uncomfortable if he was careless and got hurt.
He pointed in the direction of the light wind and said to the two women calmly, “there was a gust of wind just now. I can feel that the water element in the wind is very heavy. Perhaps we can leave this barren land as long as we follow this direction.”
“Didn’t Nie Ling just say that the scene drawn on the paper is very likely in the water? Within this ancient ruin, if we can find a place with water, it must be very close.”
When the two girls heard this, they nodded. At this moment, they knew that they simply did not have the strength to explore and survive in this ruin. If it was not for Su Yi’s timely arrival this time, they would have been in deep trouble.
The conviction in the hearts of the two ladies grew even stronger when they thought of this.
This was because Su Yi had already surpassed them by too much. No one knew what they were thinking. In any case, they did not want to be too far behind him.
This was to prevent the distance between them from becoming like a chasm.
Since Su Yi was leading them, they naturally agreed unconditionally.
After obtaining the approval of the two ladies, he looked into the distance. After which, his eyes were resolute as he spoke faintly.
“Let’s go!”
Following which, his body moved and the three of them left the spot.
…
At another spot, which was also in the middle of the desolate land, a tall and slender man wearing an ink-colored magic robe frowned as he looked at the Earth-devouring Centipedes that were surrounding him.
This person was Li Mengxi’s big brother, Li Zhengxuan.
Coincidentally, he had also randomly landed on this desolate land. However, it was a pity that he did not meet Su Yi and the rest. Currently, he was surrounded by a large group of late foundation establishment stage Earth-devouring Centipedes.
“Damn it, this group of demon beasts is very strong. Why are there so many of them?”
Li Zhengxuan’s gaze was fixed on the demon beasts surrounding him. The true essence on his body shook. Following that, he used a few spells to finish off one Earth-devouring Centipedes.
However, just as one Earth-devouring Centipede fell, the ground exploded again. Another centipede jumped out from the ground.
Seeing this, Li Zhengxuan’s expression was extremely unsightly. He said in a somewhat exasperated tone, “damn it, we can’t drag this on any longer. I don’t know how little sister is doing. I hope she didn’t randomly teleport into this damned wasteland.”
Thinking of his little sister, Li Mengxi, his eyes were filled with impatience. When the entrance had been opened, their great uncle had spoken to him in an extremely solemn tone. He was told that no matter what, the first thing he did when he entered the ruins was to find his little sister.
Similarly, with little sister’s strength, if she were to be randomly teleported into this desolate land, she would definitely die.
“Damn it!”
He let out a low shout, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. The true essence in his hand circulated, and he began to condense a powerful spell in an attempt to break through. After that, he immediately searched for his little sister.
Similarly, on Li Zhengxuan’s waist, there was a sensing jade pendant. This was something their great uncle had given them to use to find the other party.
Right now, this sensing jade pendant had almost no light, which meant that Li Mengxi was not nearby at all. This made Li Zhengxuan, who was his big brother, even more anxious.
The true essence in his entire body gushed out like it was free, and a terrifying spell undulation condensed in his hand. The power of the late-stage of the main foundation establishment realm, eighth layer, was completely unleashed.
“You like to spit out soil so much, right? How about a taste of this!!”
“Meteorite Mountain Shaking Explosion!”
Li Zhengxuan shouted loudly, and the condensed spell in his hand suddenly struck towards the ground.
Boom boom boom!!
Immediately, a terrifying impact spread out from the ground in his fist, and cracks actually appeared on the ground where he was standing.
This terrifying impact was transmitted to the ground beneath the Earth-devouring Centipedes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were a few more loud bangs. The Earth-devouring Centipedes were all knocked down by the huge impact.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Zhengxuan suddenly moved toward an opening. Then, his body turned into an afterimage as he dashed in a direction.
However, the previous spell was only used to disrupt the formation of these demon beasts. The effect was too scattered, its power was limited.
The fallen Earth-devouring Centipedes did not receive any damage. They quickly turned over from the ground and chased after Li Zhengxuan.
Li Zhengxuan did not expect that the speed of these Earth-devouring Centipedes would be so fast on this desolate land. Even at full speed, the distance between the Earth-devouring Centipedes and him continued to increase.
Seeing this, Li Zhengxuan frowned. It seemed that he could only get rid of these young ones first.
A cold glint flashed across his eyes as a sharp aura slowly rose from his body.
At this moment, a slightly mocking voice suddenly sounded.
“Big head Li, it seems like you need help?”
A figure with long hair and a white robe appeared in front of Li Zhengxuan in a few leaps from afar.
The owner of this figure was Zhao Xuening’s big brother, Zhao Ritian!
What would happen if the two enemies met at this moment?
