9 To the Demon Plains. (2/2)
After spending a bit more time crying and getting comforted by Liang Zhou, Liang Xinyi managed to calm down. She quickly gave both Liang Zhou and Li Yang a deep bow. When the Reed Vine had first attacked her, she had been too scared to even attempt to dodge it.
”No need to worry about it, everyone needs to be saved at times.”
Li Yang simply shrugged his shoulders, not too bothered by it. Everyone had to be saved in some way or another at times, it was never something to be ashamed of.
”We should get moving again. The screams may have attracted other Demonic beasts, so staying here is not the safest option.”
Liang Zhou scanned the surroundings as he spoke, his words garnering no resistance from Li Yang or Liang Zhou. Just as they got up and prepared to leave, Li Yang suddenly felt a sweltering heat pass over him.
He hurriedly raised his head, looking at the spot where the heat came from. When he raised his head, he spotted the same large figure that he had seen while they were heading towards the weapon storehouse. The heat seemed to come from that soaring figure, but it once more vanished into the distance before Li Yang could see it properly.
He glanced at Liang Zhou and Liang Xinyi, but neither of them seemed to have noticed the heat or the soaring figure. Li Yang slightly narrowed his eyes, staring into the distance where the soaring figure had vanished, but he quickly shook his head. He could not make Liang Zhou and Liang Xinyi follow him on a trip where he did not even know what he would find.
The three of them continued to head deeper into the Cloud Wilderness, but Liang Xinyi was obviously much more careful this time. She no longer wandered away from them whenever she saw something that caught her fancy.
Liang Zhou continued to teach them about the various herbs and plants that they spotted along the way, stopping the group to pick up some of the more helpful ones. It was hard to know when someone would get injured, so having some medicinal herbs on their body at all times was a smart decision.
”In two more days, we will reach a place that the tribe calls the Demon Plains. Like the name suggests, it is a large plain where a large amount of weak Demonic beasts gather.”
After moving a good distance away from the lake, Liang Zhou had the group set up camp and rest for the night. After setting up camp and preparing the food, he gathered the group around the fire to tell them their plans for the future.
”We will use Demon Concealing Vine to hide our scent and slowly make our way around the outskirts of the plain. Once we find a suitable Demonic beast, we will lure it away from the plain and work together to weaken it, allowing one of you to tame it.”
He took out some Demon Concealing Vine and boiled it into a paste as he spoke. The Demon Plains was where most of the people from the tribe managed to find and tame their Demonic beasts, so it was obviously the best place for them to go.
Liang Zhou was the one in the group who knew the most about the Cloud Wilderness, so neither Li Yang or Liang Xinyi had anything to say about his plans. The group proceeded to eat the food that they had prepared and then went to bed, leaving one person to stand guard.
