Chapter 557: Sand Dunes (1/2)
Xue Wei looked across the flat land in front of him with a solemn expression. Lan and himself had entered the area they had previously debated of with Mo Lian and the branch leader, but what he experienced upon entering the place was very different from these expectations.
The area was, on the one hand, very similar to the rest of the Ghost Realm. It was desolate with no traces of living organisms. It resembled a desert with sand covering the ground. The sand had gathered in dunes, and while one could look far into the distance, the dunes were of varying size, making it difficult to distinguish if there were other souls present.
According to what Mo Lian had said, this area was full of battles and that when one entered, it would be tough to leave again, but everything seemed silent and eerie.
”Ghosts are different from living beings. Their bodies do not consist of flesh and blood, so even if there are battles ongoing there will be no bloodshed.”
Lan commented offhandedly while glancing at the surroundings. In a war zone like this, one would expect a heavy scent of death and blood, but Xue Wei realized that after entering the Ghost Realm, all scents had vanished.
The world was desolate and grim. Life's only purpose was to gain strength, but there was no enjoyment in living. Even the small pleasures that one could find in the living world were missing here, making it even harder to adjust.
The area they had entered was not too big, but it was big enough for Lan and Xue Wei to be troubled when thinking of locating every ghost within.
They did not know if Tie Haolong was inside, but they were grasping for straws. They would have to leave the Ghost Realm soon, and before they did so, Xue Wei wished to do his very best to search for this man who died for his sake.
Even if it was a futile search, Xue Wei wanted to be able to look back on this visit to the Ghost Realm without any regrets. He wanted to be able to say that he tried his very best.
Upon entering the area, Xue Wei and Lan had been teleported to a random location within. They were not sure of where they were; they only understood that anyone who entered would land at a random destination. However, there was only one exit, and if one wished to leave, they would have to go there.
”There is a battle ongoing in front.”
Lan's senses were much better than Xue Wei's. After becoming a deity once more, Lan had many of his previous abilities and was able to accurately find the battles around them.
”Let us go take a look.”
