Chapter 1327: Waking Up
Chapter 1327: Waking Up
After half an hour, Liu Ming finally flew out of the desolated desert shrouded in sand and dust and landed in an adjacent low-lying area.
Even after flying for such a long distance, the sky remained gray. The faint sense of oppression was still lingering.
Liu Ming released his Divine Thought. After ensuring nobody was nearby, he raised one hand to dissipate the black air. Mo Tian and the girl in a black robe appeared beside him. He said with a sigh of relief.
“Unexpectedly, there are quite a few demonic creatures in the Demon Abyss. We’re attacked right after entering this secret realm.”
“That’s expected. The demonic qi within the Demon Abyss is significantly denser than the outside world, making it the ideal environment for the demonic creatures. Furthermore, we’re at the peripheral area of the Demon Abyss. The demonic creatures in the inner area will be even more formidable.” Mo Tian explained.
Hearing the explanation, Liu Ming didn’t show any worry or fear. Instead, he took out a jade slip, which was the Demon Abyss map that Mo Tian had drawn for him previously.
As soon as Liu Ming entered the Demon Abyss, he encountered a sudden attack from a group of yin filth spiders. So, he didn’t even have the opportunity to identify their location.
“Judging from the terrain and our encounter with those yin filth spiders, I believe we’ve arrived at a location known as Dark Sea Desert on the outskirts of Demon Abyss.” Mo Tian remarked after observing his surroundings.
Liu Ming nodded and checked the jade slip. Soon, he found the place marked on the map called the Dark Sea Desert.
Based on the map, the desert encompassed a large area. It was situated in the southwest peripheral region of the Demon Abyss.
After investigating the map, Liu Ming asked Mo Tian,
“Senior, where should we go next?”
Although there were many treasures in the Demon Abyss, what Liu Ming and Mo Tian cared about were the corpses of the Mystic Comprehending State demon and the fragments of the magic weapon. These things were rare in the Demon Abyss. Therefore, searching randomly would not work.
Hearing this, Mo Tian looked around with a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Liu Ming frowned slightly. He initially thought that since Mo Tian had been here once, he must know the location of the Mystic Comprehending State corpses and those magic weapon fragments. However, Mo Tian currently seemed to have no idea about it.
“Do you remember the turtle shell compass you obtained in Savage Wild Continent? Hand me that.” Mo Tian said suddenly.
Liu Ming was stunned upon hearing it. However, he quickly recalled it was the item he acquired from killing the young master of the Green Snake Race.
Liu Ming rummaged through the Sumeru Ring for a while, then he took out the compass and the animal skin book he had acquired along the compass.
“Why do you ask for these items?” Liu Ming handed the items to Mo Tian and asked curiously.
Mo Tian didn’t reply as he just chanted softly. A black light flashed in his hand, revealing several thin black lines. The other end was connected to the girl in a black robe.
As Mo Tian gestured, the black lines disintegrated. Then, he took the compass and animal skin book.
With the girl in a black robe no longer under Mo Tian’s control, her eyes closed immediately, and she fell to the ground.
Liu Ming frowned. He released a black air to support her body and gently put her on the ground.
“Hehe, I didn’t notice you have a soft spot for beauty.” Mo Tian smirked after seeing Liu Ming’s actions.
Liu Ming ignored Mo Tian’s ridicule. He looked at the compass and animal skin book in his hand and said, “This compass is for divination, right? Are you going to use divination to determine our next destination?”
Mo Tian put away the teasing expression, looked at the turtle shell compass in his hand, and said instead of answering Liu Ming’s question,
“This is an upper-grade divination item. It is made of the skull of the ancient mythical beast, Bai Ze. Although it is not as good as the divination tools I used before, it will suffice.”
As Mo Tian spoke, he went through the book. After a while, he sneered mockingly before throwing the book back to Liu Ming. He appeared utterly disdainful of the contents of the book.
Liu Ming grabbed the animal skin book without further questioning as Mo Tian’s actions had already answered his question.
Then, with a serious face, Mo Tian grabbed and released a cluster of black light in his hand.
As Mo Tian chanted, streams of black lights emerged from the black light cluster and intertwined into a black hexagonal array, then he threw the turtle shell compass into the array.
Liu Ming’s complexion changed slightly. The black array exuded an inexplicable aura, faintly giving off a sense of distortion of time and space.
Liu Ming wrapped the girl in a black robe in a cluster of black air and retreated more than 30 meters away.
Mo Tian formed strange gestures continuously. The black array spun slowly, emitting a faint black brilliance.
The *formation shrouded the turtle shell compass. The patterns on the turtle shell gradually lit up.
At this moment, a burst of black wind surrounded Mo Tian, forming a black wind pillar several meters wide. The towering pillar connected the sky and the ground. Then, a faint ghost howling sound came from the black wind.
Liu Ming felt an eerie chill surrounding him. He hurriedly grabbed the girl in a black robe and retreated further more.
Mo Tian and the black array didn’t seem to be affected in the middle of the black wind pillar.
As he looked at the growing black wind pillar, Liu Ming guessed, “Could this be the phenomenon produced by divination?”
The surrounding dust was sent into the air as the wind pillar expanded. With Mo Tian as the center, a sandstorm with a radius of hundreds of meters invaded the low-lying area. The vision into the area was blocked.
Liu Ming’s eyes flickered. He jumped into the air and set formation flags around Mo Tian.
A yellow light glowed on the formation flags, condensing into a hemispherical earth attribute array. It covered up the phenomenon the black wind pillar caused.
Liu Ming heaved a sigh of relief afterward.
The phenomenon was conspicuous. If it continued to spread, it might attract trouble.
Liu Ming levitated in mid-air with purple lights shining in his eyes. Even though an array separated him, his Purple-Patterned Demonic Pupils allowed him to see Mo Tian’s movements.
Mo Tian seemed to be ignorant of the surrounding situation. He continued to chant the mysterious spells while launching symbols into the turtle shell compass, making it shine brighter and brighter.
After a long while, Mo Tian’s eyes flashed. He turned his palm over, and a slender red crystal appeared in his palm with a flash. It was the blood heart wood crystal.
Mo Tian waved his hand and sliced off a small piece of blood heart wood crystal with a black flash. Then, he threw it into the turtle shell compass.
A red flame was ignited in the turtle shell compass.
Mo Tian’s eyes widened. He shouted softly and spurted a black light at the compass.
The pointer in the compass began to rotate, spinning several times before pointing in the east direction.
Mo Tian looked in the direction it pointed, then he was relieved. He raised his hand. The black array dissipated along with the red flame in the compass.
As the array dissipated, the whistling black wind around it swiftly dispersed.
Seeing this from the distance, Liu Ming removed the yellow array and retrieved the formation flags into his sleeve. Everything around him returned to its original state immediately.
“Has the divination given us any result?” Liu Ming descended beside Mo Tian with the gir in a black robe and asked.
Mo Tian stood up slowly with an exhausted look.
“I don’t have much spiritual power left. The result of the division is also vague. However, we should go east. We will get something there.” Mo Tian handed the turtle shell compass to Liu Ming, and its pointer was still pointing to the east.
“East…” Liu Ming glanced at the compass, then he took out the map jade slip.
To the east of their current location, there stretched a vast expanse of swamp area.
“Although the swamp area to the east from here is on the periphery of Demon Abyss, it is filled with miasma and poisonous mist. Be extremely careful.” Mo Tian recalled his memory and warned.
A light flashed in the depths of Liu Ming’s eyes. Mo Tian seemed to be familiar with the Demon Abyss. The map jade slip was quite detailed. All the peripheral areas were recorded on the map, which exceeded his expectations.
Mo Tian should have only entered this secret realm once. How could he know so much?
However, Liu Ming didn’t express the thoughts in his mind. He just nodded and replied,
“Okay, got it.”
“I just cast divination, so my soul power is depleted. I need to rest.” Mo Tian said, then he returned to Liu Ming’s body.
Liu Ming looked at the girl in a black robe on the ground and pondered for a while. He took out a Mountain River Pearl.
He launched a symbol. The Mountain River Pearl burst into a yellow light, wrapping around the body of the girl in a black robe and keeping her into the pearl.
After doing this, Liu Ming flew toward the east.
In the Mountain River Pearl’s space, the girl in a black robe was lying flat on the ground. The green gemstone on the ring on her left hand began to emit a faint fluorescence again, but this green gemstone was much smaller than before.
As for the girl in a black robe, her expression no longer looked so dull. It regained some vitality.
Liu Ming was flying toward the east while releasing Divine Thought to keep vigilant about the surrounding movement, so he naturally did not notice what happened in the Mountain River Pearl.
As time passed, the green light on the ring on the girl in a black robe’s left hand became brighter and brighter, almost covering her left arm.
There was a soft shattering sound from the green light at this moment. The green gemstone on the ring shattered into pieces, turned into a cloud of green mist, and entered her nose and mouth.
The girl in a black robe murmured. Her eyes twitched twice before she finally opened her eyes.
She sat up slowly and shook her head vigorously. Her eyes regained a little clarity. She looked around and frowned slightly.
