Chapter 921 (2/2)

”Of course not,” Tang Wulin chuckled, ”However, it's true that the vast majority of soul beasts are aggressive toward humans.”

He failed to notice the subtle changes in Gu Yue's expression as he asked internally, ”Senior Tulip, you've been living in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well your entire life; how do you know about the abilities of these desert soul beasts?”

The Beautiful Silk Tulip answered his question with a question of his own. ”What do you think is the scope covered by nature?”

Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this. ”It has to be an extremely ma.s.sive scope, right?”

The Beautiful Silk Tulip replied, ”It's not that simple. In the beginning, there were only life forms of the lowest level in nature. After that, plants like us gradually began to appear. In terms of combat prowess, a plant system soul beast would definitely be inferior to a normal soul beast of the same level. We don't have the agile bodies that normal soul beasts possess, and our innate abilities are also far inferior in comparison. As the Son of Nature, I'm sure that you've already sensed that when you're situated within a forest or any other place with a vast amount of plant life, those plants can a.s.sist your spiritual power to sense things in the larger area.

”I am the monarch of the world of plants, and also a spirit plant myself. I can also gain an understanding of the outside world through plants. As such, I can learn about the outside world through word of mouth from other plants. Back when we'd signed the contract with the Tang Sect, we'd already been made aware of just how terrifying the human world was; we just were aware of the exact scope of things.”Many plants have brought information to me about these Demonic Sandbugs, informing me of how damaging they are to nature, and only then did I learn all of this information about them. If we'd faced another type of soul beast, I most likely wouldn't know anywhere near as much about them. Of course, plant system soul beasts are an exception to this.”

Tang Wulin was enlightened by this explanation. ”I see, it's a good thing that you informed me.”

The Beautiful Silk Tulip smiled, and said, ”You've done a great service to nature by killing so many Demonic Sandbugs today, my Lord. It's a pity that we can't leave the seed of nature as we please. Otherwise, we really wanted to help you hunt down all of those Demonic Sandbugs.”

Tang Wulin replied, ”If I ever get the opportunity in the future, I'll be sure to travel around the outskirts of the desert to hunt down these pests.”

After his conversation with the Beautiful Silk Tulip, Tang Wulin discovered that Gu Yuena had already fallen asleep in the car. He adjusted her blanket before lying down by her side and encircling his arms around her body.

Power always evoked awe and veneration within others; that night, no other desert soul beasts dared to attack them. The next day, they continued in their journey and finally arrived at the Scorching Basin at around noon.

The place really lived up to its name as the air temperature was very high. As soon as they entered the basin, they had no choice but to change into some summer clothes.

The roads in the basin were quite primitive and rugged, and the basin itself was like a ma.s.sive city. Even though this place wasn't known as a city, it was the most populous place in the entire western region of the continent.

Most of the buildings here were constructed from stone and clay, and the attire worn by the people here was completely different for the clothing worn by those on the other side of the desert. Many of them wore veils that s.h.i.+elded them from the wind and dust, so their facial features were completely obscured.

Tang Wulin found a discreet place to stow his Tang Sect battle vehicle, then entered the basin with Gu Yue's hand in his.

He wasn't planning to take Gu Yue to the Skyend Mountain Ranges. He'd heard that the conditions there were very harsh, and that it wasn't inhabitable to normal people. However, the Scorching Basin was different; there were many locals who lived here all-year-round, and at the same time, this was the most important trade city on the entire western region of the continent, so all types of day-to-day necessities could be found here.

”Gu Yue, I'm going to join the military now; can you live here on your own? I'll try to visit you every as regularly as I can,” Tang Wulin said in a gentle voice.

Gu Yuena faltered slightly upon hearing this. ”How long will you be away?”

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”I'm not sure at the moment; that'll depend on the situation over there, but once I join the military, it most likely won't be easy for me to leave. I'll do my best to come back and see you as regularly as possible.”

”No! I'm going with you!” Gu Yuena immediately said in a stubborn manner.
