Chapter 979: Chapter 979 Desert
"It doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of it. Let me tell you something. There is a location in the desert that no one has discovered. It’s called the Infinite Poison Cave. It’s considered to be a haven for many types of poisons, and there should be plenty of excellent things there."
"Recently, the academy got the news that someone found the Infinite Poison Cave, so they took this opportunity to let us inquire about it. Finding this cave will make your trip here worthwhile."
The purpose of Li Qingyun telling Ye Liuyun about this was obviously to encourage him to look for the Infinite Poison Cave.
In terms of the trial, Li Qingyun did not believe it would be difficult for Ye Liuyun.
"Alright! I’ll look for it then!" Ye Liuyun agreed.
It seemed like he was taking a chance every time Li Qingyun encouraged him. He knew that if he succeeded, he would reap substantial rewards.
He couldn’t let go of this opportunity.
However, the desert was so vast that he couldn’t find the Infinite Poison Cave. Since Li Qingyun didn’t have the authority to grant him this favour, he was left to rely solely on his own abilities.
"What did Madman Li do to encourage you again?" After Ye Liuyun returned, Lingshuang immediately asked.
When she saw Li Qingyun’s mysterious look, she knew that there was no good news.
Ye Liuyun did not hide anything from her. He told Lingshuang and Yuan Datou about his search for the Infinite Poison Cave.
"Are you crazy? How can people enter the Infinite Poison Cave? No one can get out of it alive!"
Apparently, Lingshuang had heard of the Infinite Poison Cave before.
"Only when there’s danger will there be gains!" Ye Liuyun also knew there would be danger, but he did not intend to give up.
"I’ll go with you!" Seeing Ye Liuyun’s resolute attitude, Yuan Datou immediately decided to accompany him to take the risk.
You guys... are completely oblivious to the significance of life and death!" Lingshuang was so enraged by Ye Liuyun and Yuan Datou that she was speechless.
Along the way, everyone was practicing to improve their strength.
Ye Liuyun brought Lingshuang and Yuan Datou back to the Xuankong Stone to practice and speed up their cultivation.
When Li Qingyun called them, the flying vessel had arrived at the edge of the desert.
Ye Liuyun and the others disembarked the flying vessel. A seemingly endless stretch of the desert spread out in front of them. They couldn’t see a single tree or plant.
Li Qingyun said, "I’ll follow you, but I won’t do anything for you and I won’t protect your safety. You can bring the poisoned bodies and virtuoso you found here back to the academy to trade points. Let’s get started right away!"
After that, he held his hands and watched the fun on the side.
On the other hand, the elder of the Honorable Level rode the flying vessel toward the depths of the desert. He obviously wanted to take the opportunity to search for the Infinite Poison Cave.
The disciples looked at each other, then gathered around Ye Liuyun in the end.
"Mr. Ye, we’ll all follow you!"
"That’s right! Our lives are up to you!"
These people were all aware that Ye Liuyun was not only powerful but also possessed a large number of treasures. As a result, they felt more secure following Ye Liuyun.
They couldn’t stop flattering him. Even the disciples who had joined the sect before him referred to him as their senior.
These followers did not appeal to Ye Liuyun. After all, they were all fellow disciples. He would certainly look after them as much as he could.
"I’ll do my best!"
Ye Liuyun gave them a short response, indicating that he had agreed to their request. He then took the initiative and led the way into the desert.
When they saw that Ye Liuyun had agreed, they happily followed behind him and walked toward the desert.
Nobody was brave enough to strike off on their own.
Li Qingyun, on the other hand, trailed them slowly. It was not for him to pass judgement on their actions.
His duty was to prevent his disciples from being in danger beyond his expectations.
However, the risks in the desert were much greater than he had anticipated. He saw much value in putting himself through such a risky ordeal.
Even if these disciples died here, he would not take any action. He must let them try their best to hone themselves.
The reason why he followed them was that he wanted to protect Ye Liuyun. Besides, he could send the location back to the academy if they could find the Infinite Poison Cave.
When Ye Liuyun and the others entered the desert, they were surrounded by sand dunes. There was no end in sight, nor was there a predetermined course.
They continued on their way, gradually descending into the depths of the desert.
They rarely encountered deadly creatures when they were on the outskirts of the desert. However, the number of poisonous scorpions, bugs, and other desert creatures increased as they ventured further.
Furthermore, the rank of these poisonous insects was increasing.
They were all well hidden in the desert. They would frequently launch assaults from beneath their feet. It would be difficult to find them even if they utilized their Divine Sense to probe.
This meant that his vulnerability to attacks from venomous insects was totally at the mercy of chance.
They had only been gone for half a day, yet two of their students had already been attacked by poisonous insects. Fortunately, they all had antidote pills, and no one was injured.
Many disciples put on defensive armor to repel the poisonous insects’ attacks. Even Lingshuang and Yuan Datou were well-armored.
The deadly scorpion and other creatures had also attacked Ye Liuyun. However, his physical body had been transformed by the Hidden Dragon Pool. The weaker degree of poison would not be able to penetrate his skin at all. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Consequently, he didn’t employ any particular defense against these low-level poisons.
The poison they encountered grew in size as they delved deeper and deeper.
This was advantageous for them. The greater the object, the easier it would be to detect with their Divine Sense.
"Everyone, beware of the scorpions!"
As Ye Liuyun walked, he suddenly stopped and reminded everyone.
He immediately put on the foreign race’s scaled armor to protect himself.
He detected with his Divine Sense that over a hundred red scorpions were surrounding them.
These scorpions had bodies that were about the same size as theirs. Their cultivation domains were also situated between the second and eighth levels of the Fate Realm. It was anticipated that there would be a tough battle.
He quickly pulled out the saber and prepared to battle. The other disciples drew their weapons and prepared to fight as well.
The crowd soon noticed bright red scorpion tails protruding from the ground. The venomous spines on their tails directed at them and drew them in.
As they approached, scorpions jumped out of the sand and pounced on them.
"Kill!"
Ye Liuyun roared and took the initiative in the attack. He swung his saber at Scorpion, who was approaching him.
He noticed that the scorpion shell was unusually hard when he broke it down. Fortunately, he was able to slice the red scorpion in half with the Divine Weapon.
He casually put away the corpse and continued to attack.
The rest of the disciples also took action one after another and began to kill the Red Scorpions. However, the disciples who didn’t have Divine Weapons were obviously at a disadvantage. It was difficult to split the scorpion in half.
