Chapter 205: The Forbidden Fields (1/2)

Alex was a little shocked. He had not heard about this danger from his master or anyone before.

”But I thought that the Forbidden fields were a bunch of grasslands with nothing in it. Was that false?” he asked.

”Oh no, it is what you have heard for the most part. The part we call Forbidden Fields is actually just a small part of the otherwise huge land where one's cultivation is stifled. Forbidden Fields just last until the river, after that is the desert where the monsters live,” Lang Shun said.

'Desert?' he was shocked. 'A land of sand, like the southern continent? Aren't I in the western continent according to sister?' he thought.

”Are these monsters in the desert of high cultivation?” he asked.

”Cultivation? No. As I said, the forbidden fields and beyond don't have Qi. These monsters just grew up with a strong body after adapting to that environment,” Lang Shun said.

”So, do we know how strong they are?” Alex asked.

”Not really. From the speed and strength they show, it is assumed that they are around the Muscle tempering realm in terms of strength, but who knows. There could be stronger ones inside the desert. No one who has ever entered the desert has ever come back to give us information.”

”So, just try to stay away from the desert. Be careful when you drink the river water too. Although the monsters stay on the other side of the river, they might come to this side if they see you. There has been only a few cases so far, but it's okay to be careful.”

Alex fell into contemplation. Assuming the lack of Qi did not stop his body from being as strong as it is, he should have no problem in the forbidden fields. However…

'What will I do if I have to leave the grassland and enter this desert,' he thought.

Soon, Lang Shun and he came across light at the end of the tunnel. After coming out of the tunnel, he finally saw it.

A vast land of green grass far away into the distance. Beyond that was a slight color of reddish-yellow. Alex looked directly in front of him and saw the steep slope all the way down to the grassland.

There were two elders standing guard on either side of the openings of the cave he had just exited, probably looking after the 'prisoners' in this open prison.

”Another disciple, Eighteenth Elder? We weren't notified about this,” the elder on the left asked.

The elder on the right just looked at him and asked, ”Isn't he the sect leader's disciple? It can't be that he did something worthy of this punishment, right Eighteenth Elder?”

”Don't mind me and my martial nephew elders. He requested to enter the forbidden field himself,” Lang Shun said.

”Requested himself? Does he not know how troublesome the forbidden field is?” the elder on the left asked.
