Chapter 322: Forbidden Region (1/2)
Even after chasing that red streak for a long time, Shi Hui and the others still failed to come to any findings.
After recovering the Flame Dragon Armor, with the help of his seven Heaven Eyes and the Starshift escape magic, Nie Tian left the place that was rife with trouble at his fastest possible speed.
Unwilling to give up, Shi Hui and the others asked the Wild Fire to send out people to help them search for the Flame Dragon Armor, but after quite some time, their joint search turned out to be fruitless as well.
Even though they felt very frustrated, they didn’t plan to give up just like that.
During the following days, all Shi Hui and the others thought about was how to get that fire-attributed Spirit Channeling grade treasure, so much so that their eyes turned red with greed.
Even Fu Heng, the Wild Fire’s highest commander in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, had his enthusiasm aroused after learning about this Spirit Channeling treasure.
Similarly, it wasn’t long before the news found its way to the Dark Moon and the Blood Skull.
Even explorers who had come to the Void Illusion Mountain Range for their own reasons joined the search for this Spirit Channeling treasure after learning about its appearance.
Nie Tian, however, had long since left the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
Two weeks passed…
Under the fierce, burning sun, Nie Tian arrived at the region Pei Qiqi had pointed out for him.
As Pei Qiqi had warned him, along the way, he had encountered a few groups of Hunters who roamed this region by Ash City.
With the help of his Heaven Eyes, he maneuvered around them and kept moving forward. After that, until he set foot in this region where all living forms were forbidden, he hadn’t come across a single person.
It was a vast desert to the east of Ash City where countless craters could be seen almost everywhere.
Some of the craters were as small as the mouths of wells, while others were as enormous as dried-up lakes.
Many of the craters had meteors in them, each of which was strange in shape and color, and embedded deep into the earth.
Every now and then, Nie Tian could see piles of pale-gray bones, which had obviously belonged to humans.
Evidently, no matter how deadly a place was, as long as there was fortune waiting to be unearthed, people would risk their lives and set foot in it. This desert was no exception.
When meteors plummeted to the earth from the unknown outer space and exploded, Star Stones would fall out of them.
Other than those, there might also be extremely rare spiritual materials within the meteors.
Both the spiritual materials and Star Stones were of extremely high value. People would be able to gain significant amounts of spirit stones if they obtained and traded them in Ash City, the Land of the Abandoned, or Shatter City.
Under the fierce sunlight, Nie Tian slowly walked deeper into the desert filled with enormous craters.
His seven Heaven Eyes hung high in the sky like invisible lanterns, keeping a close watch on everything in their vicinity.
As he walked further, Nie Tian discovered that the green light shield around him, created by his jade bracelet. began to give off fizzing sounds.
With furrowed eyebrows, he came to a stop and examined his surroundings with rapt attention.
Immediately afterwards, he found that not only was the density of the toxic spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the crater much higher than in other parts of the Void Illusion Mountain Range, but there seemed to be other special features of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this desert.
Even spiritual tools like the green jade bracelet that could protect their owners from the toxic Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in other parts of the Realm of Split Void seemed to have a hard time withstanding the strong corrosion here.
After walking for another two hours in the endless desert, when Nie Tian sensed that his jade bracelet was on the verge of breaking, he rapidly put it away.
At the same time, he quietly enveloped himself with a two-meter range chaotic magnetic field.
Soon night fell, and the moon rose in the sky…
In distinct contrast to the hotness of the day, during the night, the desert was shrouded in frigid coldness. Even inside of his chaotic magnetic field, Nie Tian could feel the bone-piercing coldness.
Standing by the edge of an enormous crater, Nie Tian muttered to himself with a frown, “The tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this place much denser than in other parts of the Void Illusion Mountain Range. Even normal protective spiritual tools couldn’t resist the dreadful corrosion. This feature alone would stop explorers with insignificant cultivation bases from entering this deadly desert.
“Not to mention the fact that meteors could plummet from the heavens at any moment in this region where the day is scorchingly hot and the night is frigidly cold.”
Instead of continuing to wander around, he slowly sat down on the ground and looked up into the mysterious night sky.
Like gorgeous gems, countless bright stars lit up and decorated the unfathomable heavens.
He calmed himself and removed all distracting thoughts from his mind as he began to go over and contemplate the profundity of Starfall.
According to Pei Qiqi, meteors would occasionally fall from the heavens and plummet to the earth in this region. Yet, no one knew why they would fall at this part of the Realm of Split Void over all others.
Two days later…
