"Fellow Daoist, how about it, do you want to go search for the ’Sand of Time’ together?"
After sending off the buyers and demon beasts, Yun Hua Si Lingle stayed in the black market, even rented a cave dwelling to settle down, and was preparing to train in the Extreme West Domain.
Over two months passed, and Si Lingle became acquainted with some loose cultivators.
Today, her fellow Daoist, Su Lan, came to find her and invited her to venture into the Fierce Fog to search for the ’Sand of Time’.
This crystalline ’Sand of Time’ can temporarily freeze the flow of time within five zhang, but after three uses, the possessor will age rapidly.
It is difficult to find this thing, and the Fierce Fog is extremely dangerous, so one piece of ’Sand of Time’ can fetch five hundred top-grade spirit stones.
"Alright, when do we set off?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
"In four days."
"Okay."
After Su Lan left, Si Lingle went to prepare some items.
Four days later, they set off.
Including Si Lingle, there were six people in total.
’Big Beard’, Taoist name Hu Lu (Late-stage Soul Emergence), has a messy yet weathered beard, proficient in mechanical techniques;
Spirit Phoenix (Initial Stage of Soul Emergence) is a lithe woman, moves like the wind, has a unique understanding of poison, with rows of poison gourds hanging at her waist, and a bow and arrows on her back;
Tie Shan (Great Perfection of Soul Emergence) as his name suggests, is burly and robust, immensely strong, carrying a gigantic axe as if it could cleave through all obstacles in the world;
Xing Jue (Early-stage Divinity Transformation), a mysterious elder, with white hair yet deep eyes, knows divination and stargazing, capable of foreseeing some fortunes and misfortunes ahead;
As for Su Lan (Mid-stage Soul Emergence), he is a Sound Cultivator, wielding a flute as his weapon.
Si Lingle’s cultivation is hidden at Mid-stage Soul Emergence, a loose cultivator, using an umbrella-shaped weapon.
Six of them cautiously stepped into the Fierce Fog filled with a bizarre aura.
The fog was dense like ink, seemingly alive, constantly writhing and tangling, obscuring everyone’s view, each step forward filled with unknown danger.
The six of them had taut nerves, fully aware of the preciousness of ’Sand of Time’ and the difficulty of this journey.
Suddenly, a deep growl came from the depths of the thick fog, the sound was muffled and heavy, making the hearts of the six involuntarily tighten.
"Everyone, be careful, an unknown monster is approaching." Su Lan whispered, holding the flute ready for battle.
Tie Shan raised his axe high, eyes revealing fearless battle intent; Spirit Phoenix quickly drew a few poison needles from her waist, vigilantly observing the surroundings; Hu Lu was rapidly manipulating the mechanism on the side, ready to activate defenses at any time; Xing Jue closed his eyes tightly, silently divining the situation; Si Lingle held the Qiankun Umbrella, ready for combat.
In an instant, a massive shadow suddenly leaped out from the fog. It was a huge Fog Beast, its scales shimmering with eerie light, its gaping maw lunging at them.
Tie Shan let out a roar, swinging his axe to meet the Fog Beast head-on. Si Lingle seized the opportunity to circle around to the side of the beast, striking its leg with the umbrella, where it slashed, blood splattered.
Su Lan blew the flute, launching sonic attacks, targeting the Fog Beast’s divine sense.
Ling Feng seized the moment, firing a poison needle, the needle accurately embedded into the Fog Beast’s body, but it seemed ineffective, making the Fog Beast even more enraged, thrashing about in place, stirring up the surrounding fog, further complicating the situation.
Just then, Hu Lu pressed a mechanism, and a massive iron cage descended from the sky, trapping the Fog Beast securely. The Fog Beast struggled and roared in the cage but couldn’t break free. Taking this chance, everyone surged forward and defeated the dangerous Fog Beast.
After a brief rest, they continued deeper into the Fierce Fog. As they pressed on, they encountered increasing dangers, from hidden mechanical traps to more mysterious exotic beasts.
In every crisis they faced, they worked together, using their abilities to avert danger.
Thus, two months passed, finally, in a hidden valley shrouded by dense fog, Si Lingle’s keen eyes caught a strange glimmer.
They cautiously approached, discovering that the light came from the ’Sand of Time’.
However, just as they were about to advance to collect the ’Sand of Time’, a burst of powerful energy emerged from the valley, forming a barrier that blocked their progress.
Xing Jue carefully observed the trajectory of the light, silently calculating a method to break through.
Meanwhile, Hu Lu quickly assembled a mechanism, attempting to breach the barrier.
