Chapter 1192 - 525: Demons on the Gobi (Part 2)
"I just came out of his space."
"If I didn’t have the Godslaying Bow, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have made it out!"
"From now on, wherever we go, we must be careful!"
"I always feel like something’s not right!"
"Either Demon Tree or Cannibal Tree!"
Ning Qi looked at a few people and continued, "When we encounter trouble, we should try not to get separated!"
"Everything here is either illusions or illusion realms, one careless move and we’re doomed!"
"Understood!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded, glancing around, "Well, can we get out now?"
"We can, we need to leave this forest before nightfall!"
Ning Qi nodded, then his gaze returned to the mountain he had just come out from.
At this time, the mountain had completely collapsed.
Yet, there wasn’t a stir of dust.
It made him feel that things weren’t as simple as they seemed here.
However, for now, it seemed that this dense forest had been destroyed by him.
To be precise, the space of this dense forest had been destroyed by him.
"Then, let’s go!"
Xu Qingqiu came to his senses and called Nine-tailed Cat and Medicine Spirit to move together.
"Let’s go!"
Ning Qi also agreed, and then followed along to set off.
A few people once again embarked on their journey.
As they continued on this time, their previous troubles seemed to be gone.
"Master, you’re still amazing, I feel that the vitality in this dense forest is gone."
"It’s lifeless!"
Medicine Spirit said, giggling on his shoulder.
"Don’t be careless, haven’t you noticed that this dense forest is just immobile."
"But it may not mean it isn’t threatening anymore!"
Ning Qi shook his head, showing a solemn expression.
"So, we must quicken our pace and leave here."
Xu Qingqiu looked at the surroundings, feeling a chill down his spine.
This kind of illusion realm along with these confusing restrictions and environments is truly the most terrifying part.
"Okay!"
Ning Qi also sped up.
Just like that, after walking for several two-hours, they finally left this dense forest.
Immediately afterward, they arrived in front of a stretch of desert.
"It’s either hills or dense forest mountains, now it’s the desert’s turn."
Medicine Spirit said somewhat speechlessly, "What exactly is this place?"
"Why is the terrain so complicated?"
"We’re supposed to be treasure hunting, not exploring!"
"If it doesn’t work out, let’s retrace our steps! After all, the master has ways to deal with the things behind us."
"If they mess around again, we could just raid their home!"
"Since we’ve already come this far, let’s not give up easily!"
Ning Qi shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I want to see exactly what’s at the end here."
"Yes, we’ve come so far with difficulty."
"I feel there must be rare treasure waiting for us ahead!"
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained, let’s go!"
Xu Qingqiu also became increasingly interested in what lay ahead.
After Ning Qi’s remarks, he agreed along.
"Let’s move out!"
Ning Qi once again waved his hand, moving forward to lead the way.
They traversed the desert, walking straight until nightfall.
"It’s no longer suitable to continue traveling."
"Let’s find a place to rest!"
Xu Qingqiu looked at the sky.
If it were in an ordinary place, they wouldn’t bother.
But here, they dared not take risks.
If there was danger here at night, they’d be in trouble.
"Come to my Alchemy Furnace!"
"It’s safe here, shouldn’t be any problems!"
Ning Qi glanced around, saying seriously, "I always feel like something might appear here."
"Master, let’s go to your Alchemy Furnace then."
"Since you feel this way, then there really is an issue!"
Medicine Spirit shrank his neck, urging Ning Qi to get his Alchemy Furnace out.
"Okay!"
Ning Qi nodded, then gestured to bring out his Alchemy Furnace.
"Then let’s hide inside!"
Xu Qingqiu, having entered it before, and for safety, decided to go in as well when he saw Ning Qi take out the Alchemy Furnace.
"Phew!"
Finally, under Ning Qi’s call, everyone entered his Alchemy Furnace.
Just at this time, the last ray of sunlight disappeared.
"Phew!"
Instantly, violent winds rose here.
Constant wailing sounds.
But the few of them, inside the alchemy furnace’s space, weren’t affected at all.
To ensure safety, Ning Qi had also shrunk his alchemy furnace considerably.
However, amidst this harsh environment, the alchemy furnace stood silently amidst a few rocks, unmoving.
Just like a stone here.
Meanwhile, inside his alchemy furnace, a few people were observing the changing environment through Ning Qi’s mirror.
"Master, look, what’s appearing over there?"
Medicine Spirit noticed first, immediately spotting the issue.
"This is... a demon?"
Xu Qingqiu took a look and involuntarily said, "Doesn’t look like a twisted monster!"
"I see similarities with twisted monsters."
"They’re soul bodies, just not twisted monsters yet."
Ning Qi observed and added, "We did right to hide here; they probably sensed our scent."
"That’s why they found their way here after dark."
"Ah? Are we safe here?"
Xu Qingqiu felt concerned.
There were way too many of these demons.
After one appeared, in an instant, dozens emerged; within moments, there were hundreds wandering here.
Fortunately, they were in Ning Qi’s alchemy furnace and went unnoticed.
"We’re safe; otherwise, we’d have already been found!"
Ning Qi nodded and continued, "The middle of the alchemy furnace is an independent space, if it weren’t for knowing the tricks of the alchemy furnace."
"People couldn’t possibly discover us!"
"That’s good! Your alchemy furnace is indeed useful."
"Counting now, it’s saved us twice already!"
Xu Qingqiu sighed repeatedly, her lovely eyes, observing these demons through Ning Qi’s mirror: "Do you think they might be people killed by the forest we passed before?"
"You know, that’s quite possible!"
Medicine Spirit nodded in deep agreement, adding, "It’s fortunate Master helped us break their illusion, or else we’d end up like them."
"So from the start, when attracted by the hills, we were already playing into someone else’s hands?"
At this point, Xu Qingqiu finally understood something.
"Knowing now, it’s too late!"
"Going back won’t be easy, I’m afraid."
Medicine Spirit sighed in resignation, "We’ll just have to wait till daylight to continue traveling."
"These demons don’t dare come out in daylight."
"Yes, it’s safe here, everyone rest!"
"Since we have nowhere else to go, let’s rest here for the night!"
"When daylight comes, we set out."
Ning Qi nodded, then found two spacious spots and sat cross-legged.
He began to regulate his breath.
Seeing this, Xu Qingqiu followed suit, finding a place to begin regulating his breath.
With them quieted down, Medicine Spirit found it pointless.
Moving to Nine-tailed Cat, they fell asleep together.
A night passed by in a flash.
As dawn came, Ning Qi was the first to awaken.
Through the mirror, he found the demons all gone.
So, he approached Xu Qingqiu nearby.
As he got close, she slowly opened her eyes.
"How is it? Are the demons still here?"
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi, asking uneasily.
"Gone, let’s head out!"
"Today we will find the mystery here!"
Ning Qi replied, then waved to Medicine Spirit and Nine-tailed Cat: "Come over!"
"Coming!"
"..."
Both flew over separately.
"Let’s go out!"
Ning Qi simply said, and then led everyone out of his alchemy furnace space.
"Phew! We’re out!"
Xu Qingqiu, upon coming out, heaved a sigh of relief.
