Chapter 520 - Ch 520: Black Desert

"What just happened?"

Ye Xiao and Yi Meng stood up. They clean off the dust from their bodies and looked at each other.

Ye Xiao found that there were no traces of shock in Yi Meng's eyes. It was as if what her Grandmaster did was normal. There was nothing out of ordinary.

Yi Meng smiled and said, "Actually, we were teleported here by my Grandmaster!"

"How?"

"Well, it's a secret of my sect so... I'm sorry, I can not tell you!"

"It's ok, I can understand. I was just too shocked right now!"

"Hmm!"

"So, let's go and ask around where we are. For now, we are safe."

"Yeah!"

"Also, What are you planning to do now?"

"I don't know. Maybe, I'll just hand it out with you for now!"

"I have an important matter to attend in the Eastern Wasteland. I will go there. If you are planning to follow me, you'll have to come with me as well."

"I don't have a problem!"

"That's good then, let's go!"

Ye Xiao and Yi Meng talked for a while before coming out of the red grassland. Because of Ye Xiao's demonic aura, no one was able to tell that Yi Meng and Ye Xiao were not demonic cultivators. They had no problem finding where they were right now.

It turned out that the place they were at was the border between Eastern Wasteland and Northern Wasteland.

After deciding the direction, both of them booked an inn to spend a night and take some rest. It was mainly for Ye Xiao. He was really too tired. Taking an attack from the Demon Master head-on was no small matter. Ye Xiao was tired as well as injured, he needed to take a rest for a while before he could go to the Eastern Wasteland.

After a night of rest, Ye Xiao was completely healed. It was all due to the Wood Blossom Bloodline inside his body. Under its effect, the injuries he received were nothing. All the injuries healed, not even leaving behind a single scar on his body.

The next day, Ye Xiao and Yi Meng left the inn and started their journey.

Although the demon city they were in was at the border between the Eastern Wasteland and Northern Wasteland, there was still another menace they needed to go through. That was called Black Desert. This Black Desert was also the main border between the Eastern Continent and Northern Continent.

It is said that the Black Desert has many dangers. The greatest danger was Black Sandstorm and the smallest danger was the demons a person would face there.

It is recommended that if one wants to cross the Black Desert, one should form a team of five or six before stepping inside this desert. It is said that the Black Sandstorm there can even kill Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demons. Moreover, the demons inside the Black Desert were also not easy to deal with. So, travelling in a group was highly advisable.

Ye Xiao didn't want to travel with other demons but he happened to cross a demons' group.

Seeing that Ye Xiao and Yi Meng also wanted to enter the Black Desert and cross it before going to the Eastern Wasteland, they invited Ye Xiao and Yi Meng to travel with their group. After all, the more the better. If Ye Xiao and Yi Meng were to join their group and travel with them, the strength of their group will increase and there was a large possibility for them to cross the Black Desert without getting in any trouble.

After consulting with Yi Meng for a while, Ye Xiao agreed to cross the Black Desert with them.

.....

"Alright, everyone is ready. Let's depart early."

From the corner of his eyes, the leader of the group glanced at Ye Xiao and Yi Meng and then jumped into the air.

There were ten other demons in this group who were travelling in the group with Ye Xiao and Yi Meng.

In Northern Wasteland, they could not gain much experience and could only cultivate in seclusion. Northern Wasteland was completely dominated by the Blood Demon Sect and only the disciples of the Blood Demon Sect had an easy life.

As for the Eastern Wasteland, it is said that the Eastern Wasteland was two times larger than the Northern Wasteland and there were three main powers. It is said that the strength of these three powers was not the least bit weaker than the Blood Demon Sect. Because of these three powers, many resources for these demons to cultivate were present.

The leader of the group was called Cao Shang. Cao Shang was a Middle Stage Ancient Demon Realm demon. After travelling for a while, Cao Shang turned his head, looked at a demonic cultivator in the group, and said: "Xuan Fei, you have comprehended the Sand Law and Wind Law, right. Please help us increase our speed."

The demonic cultivator called Xuan Fei nodded his head and said, "Alright!"

The next moment, the thirteen of them felt two pushing forces as their speed become much faster. Soon, this group of thirteen people passed through the outer area of the Black Desert and entered the inner area.

Looking at the vast and boundless desert in front of them, Cao Shang and the others stopped.

"This Inner Area of the Black Desert has a special feature, no one can fly here. Even if we jump high and try to fly, we can only fly for a hundred meters before falling down to the ground, so we can only walk." Cao Shang explained.

Ye Xiao and Yi Meng were really surprised when they heard him. Now they thought that it was really wise for them to follow this group of demons, otherwise, they would have made a fool out of themselves.

"Brother Cao, it is said that we can lose our life inside the Black Desert, is there really danger of Death here?" While they were walking, one of the demons asked.

"Yes, there is!"

Cao Shang nodded his head and continued to speak, "For example, those sand-pits on the ground. Even if an Ancient Demon were to be accidentally drawn into those sand-pits, it would be very difficult for him to climb out. There were also some desert creatures, such as Demonic Poisonous Scorpions, Demon Poisonous Snakes, and so on. Of course, the most dangerous thing is to encounter Black Sandstorm. Even if a Late Stage Ancient Demon Realm demons encountered it, they would not be able to escape safely."

The crowd swallowed their saliva and then they all drew their weapons, raising their spirits by 100%.

"Xuan Fei, create a tunnel for us to travel through." Cao Shang turned and said to the demonic cultivator called Xuan Fei.

"Alright!"

Xuan Fei nodded his head and walked to the front. Suddenly, the sand in front of him was split apart and a muddy road that was several meters wide rose up.

Suddenly, Xuan Fei frowned slightly. The sand in the Black Desert was no ordinary sand, he had spent a lot of effort to create this mud path. He was the first to walk onto the mud path and immediately felt a strange pressure, preventing him from flying through the desert. Not only that, even the repulsive force and the wind that blew upwards had lost their effect.

Cao Shang also walked onto the mud path, patting Xuan Fei on the shoulder he said,  "There is no need to for it be so wide, two meters was enough."

Xuan Fei nodded silently made the width of the tunnel two meters wide.

Everyone continued to follow Cao Shang all the way to the tunnel.

This mud path gave them a huge advantage. They did not have to worry about stepping into the sandpit or those desert creatures ambushing them. However, there was no lack of desert beasts in this Black Desert. Even if there were no injuries, there was no guarantee that they would be able to leave this Black Desert alive.

As Xuan Fei erected the mud bridge, he guarded himself against the surroundings. He didn't know why, but he had a strange premonition in his heart as if something was going to happen.

It was the same for Ye Xiao and Yi Meng. Both of them were also feeling that something wrong was about to happen.

"Be careful, something doesn't feel right!"

Cao Shang also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything out of place. However, he was still a Middle Stage Ancient Demon Realm demon and he had other demons to deal with most of the small problems around him.

They walked for a while and in the end, they couldn't help but stop.

"Senior Cao, what's wrong?"

One of the demons asked curiously when all of a sudden, everyone had to stop because of their leader's order.

"You guys be careful, I'll take a look around!" As Cao Shang said that, he looked around.
