After passing through the pile of rocks, Zhang Yaojin said, "We should be there!"
Chen Zhendong said, "We can see Qikou Corner in a few dozen meters."
The Darkwing Magic Scorpion crawled forward for a distance. Guo Shier suddenly heard a whistling sound that was getting louder and louder. He said in surprise, "What's that sound?"
Chen Zhendong said, "The wind! The wind here is very loud, but it won't affect us. " After saying that, he flew down from the scorpion's back and said, "Come down, Shier. You can put away the scorpion. It's not needed here." He was still a little strange. A spirit beast or a talisman insect formed from a spirit shouldn't be active outside for so long.
Zhang Yaojin also jumped off the scorpion's back and everyone followed. Guo Shier put away the Darkwing Magic Scorpion and asked, "How far is it?"
Chen Zhendong said, "To the edge of the cliff … Let's take a look first. I'll determine the position."
Guo Shier walked forward. After walking for about twenty meters, he felt the whistling sound in his ears become clearer and louder. It was still misty in front of him and he couldn't see the cliff in front of him. After walking for another ten meters, he found that he was standing at the top of the cliff. Looking down from the top of the cliff, he didn't know how deep it was or what was below. The black smoke rising from below turned into plumes of smoke and dust as it rushed up, giving off strange whistling sounds.
Chen Zhendong said, "Everyone, just take a look. We can't stand on the edge of the cliff for a long time. It's too dangerous. Come with me … We'll go from here." He retreated to a place dozens of meters away from the cliff and then walked to the left.
Zhang Yaojin said, "I didn't know Qikou Corner was like this. I've always heard people say that this is a dangerous place. I didn't expect … it's not dangerous. Strange, why do they say this is a dangerous place?"
Chen Zhendong said, "I don't know either, but I've lived here for more than ten years and have never encountered any danger."
Everyone was originally puzzled, but after hearing his words, they calmed down a little. Guo Shier said, "After we find the place, we should seize the time to cultivate. Although we brought a lot of supplies, we can't eat them for a long time. Let's try to advance this time."
Peng Yuanwang sighed. Sun Miner also sighed. Guo Shier asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Qi tried his best to lower his voice and said, "It's not that easy to advance!" Even though he lowered his voice, his voice was still very loud. Guo Shier guessed that if this guy was in his previous life, he would have been a natural high-pitched singer.
Zhang Yaojin glared at him and said in a low voice: "Although there are no mutated rune beasts here, don't make such a loud noise! Should I seal you with another talisman? "
Yang Qi smacked his lips and shook his head with a bitter smile. Since entering the black fog area, he had hardly spoken. Along the way, Zhang Yaojin used talismans to seal his mouth several times, and he almost suffocated to death.
After walking for four days and taking a few breaks along the way, they finally arrived at the place that Chen Zhendong mentioned.
There was an inconspicuous gap in the cliff. It was a crack. Chen Zhendong said, "Go down this crack. Don't fly. Flying talismans are useless here. You will fall …" He took the lead and walked towards the crack. "Follow me. Be very careful."
"Shier, I'll carry you," Chen Chen Chen said.
Eagle Demon said, "Twelve, I'll carry you!"
It was an extremely difficult path. Some places had to be carried by ropes. The biggest problem was that they couldn't use talismans. They could only rely on climbing skills. The biggest problem here was that they couldn't use flight talismans, so they could only rely on climbing skills. Two hours later, Chen Chen Chen Chen landed on a large platform. Near the cliff, there was a natural cave. It was a good place to rest.
Two hours later, Chen Zhendong landed on a large platform. There was a natural cave near the cliff, which was a good place to rest.
Chen Zhendong said, "This place doesn't look as good as the center of the black fog area, but once we cultivate, the effect is very good … Let's set up camp first, and everyone will know after cultivating … There's a big storm here every ten days. We can hide in that cave, and the storm usually lasts for about seven hours."
"During the storm, you must not step onto the platform, or you'll be dead!" Chen Zhendong reminded him, "When cultivating, it's best to cultivate by the side of the cliff. So, other than when there's a storm, you can cultivate by the side of the cliff. Remember … about a meter away from the platform. Don't sit on the edge of the platform. That's too dangerous."
Everyone entered the cave to set up their tents. There was no need for Guo Shier to worry about this. He came to the platform. It was also dusky here. The platform was very large and narrow, about a few thousand square meters. It was like a shuttle-shaped platform embedded in the cliff, appearing very magical.
The cavern behind the platform was even larger. Deep inside, there was a huge stone hall that was even larger than the platform outside. It was unknown how it had been formed.
Guo Shier walked around the platform and returned to the cave. Walking into the spacious rock hall, he released the Giant Perching Dragon.
Chen Zhendong was also inside. He asked, "Shier, why did you release the Soul Beast?"
Guo Shier smiled. "Let the Soul Beast absorb some of the soul strands here. It can continue to grow."
Chen Zhendong was surprised. "Can you bear to release your Soul Beast for a long time?"
Before Guo Shier could answer, Xuan Ai interrupted, "He's fine. I found it strange, but … some rules don't seem to work on him."
Chen Zhendong's eyes widened in surprise. Seeing Guo Shier release the Ancient Flame Sparrow and the Darkwing Demon Scorpion, he shook his head. "Unbelievable." With the inherited knowledge he had obtained, he knew that a person could not leave their Soul Beast outside for a long time. It would affect both the Soul Beast and the master. Once the soul was damaged, the loss would be great.
But Guo Shier did not seem to have this problem. He easily controlled the Soul Beasts and Soul Insects, as if he had no burden. This made everyone feel strange.
The Giant Perching Dragon moved its body slightly and lay in the corner of the rock hall, motionless. It began to absorb the soul mist. The Ancient Flame Sparrow did not want to stay in the cave. It shrunk its body and turned into a fist-sized little red bird. It landed on Guo Shier's shoulder.
The Darkwing Demon Scorpion crawled into the depths of the cave. There were many branches of caves of various sizes. No one knew what was inside, and no one dared to explore. There were too many branches.
Guo Shier did not care where the Darkwing Demon Scorpion went. He knew it would find a suitable place for itself. In fact, he still had some beast talismans. But at this level, those beast talismans were outdated and could not be used. They could not evolve on their own, and they had no spirituality. Thus, he had given up on them.
Returning to the platform, Guo Shier wanted to test the soul mist here.
A series of incantations danced quickly. In an instant, countless soul mist surged over. The soul mist coming from below the platform was even more frightening. In just a few moments, he was surrounded by a thick black fog. The Ancient Flame Sparrow let out a surprised chirp. Because it was controlled by its master, it could not fly. Its range of movement was only on Guo Shier's shoulder.
Chen Zhendong watched silently. He was amazed. He did not have such a method of absorbing soul mist. He felt strange. Why was this child so special?
Zhang Yaojin said, "Don't be surprised. He must be a personal disciple of a powerful sect. We can't compare to him."
Chen Zhendong sighed. "Comparing people … is infuriating …"
Falconer walked behind Guo Shier and sat down, quietly guarding him. The others also sat behind Guo Shier. They were all very experienced and knew that cultivating beside Guo Shier was much more effective than cultivating alone.
The feeling of the soul mist entering his body was wonderful. Guo Shier felt very happy every time. The pleasure of the soul was countless times stronger than the pleasure of the body. Thus, it was easy for him to indulge in it until he felt a slight tingling in his soul. After slightly estimating the time, he found that cultivating here was indeed very fast.
Then, he began to silently recite scriptures. The surrounding soul mist also trembled. This strange fluctuation benefited everyone a lot. Zhang Yaojin and Chen Zhendong sat behind everyone. They also discovered this secret. The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Not long after, everyone got up and went back. Only Guo Shier was still sitting there. A moment later, the soul mist around him became thick again. This time, even Zhang Yaojin and Chen Zhendong, the two Saint Masters, could not bear it. They had never seen such a terrifying absorption ability.
After cultivating quietly for four days, Guo Shier successfully advanced to the advanced Mad Master level. Although the others had not advanced yet, they all felt that their cultivation speed was very fast.
On the fifth day, the storm arrived. Everyone hid in the cave.
They couldn't go to the entrance of the cave at all. The roaring storm was swirling at the entrance of the cave, and waves of soul mist were rushing in. Everyone was hiding in the stone hall, sitting there with pale faces. Everyone could feel their souls shaking, and their hearts were beating like drums. Sun Miner said in shock, "Why is it so uncomfortable?"
Chen Zhendong said calmly, "It's fine as long as we can endure it. Otherwise … why are there no mutated rune beasts here?"
"When I lived here, besides encountering the storm, I also experienced the black mist condensing once. That was the true terror … for a total of five days, I hid in the depths of the cave, relying on protective talismans to barely survive. If it was outside, even a rank nine or ten mutated rune beast would not be able to survive."
Guo Shier asked, "You only encountered it once?"
Chen Zhendong nodded. "Yes, only once. It's been nine years since then."
Guo Shier said, "That long? Oh, we have to be on guard. Chen … Big Brother, were there any signs of the black mist condensing last time? "
Chen Zhendong laughed. "It's very easy to tell. There will be black snow here, and then two days later, the black mist will start condensing. The process is very terrifying … I was lucky that I was in the cave, or else I would not have been able to defend myself."
"Eh? My scorpion! "
Guo Shier discovered that the Darkwing Devil Scorpion was restless. This thought suddenly came over, and it immediately made him vigilant.
