Chapter 838 - The Fish That Swallow Wind
Chapter 838: The Fish That Swallow Wind
The wind was roaring. There seemed to be a boundless wall of wind that descended from the sky into the sea.
The scene reminded Han Fei of the Abyssal Chasm in the level-three fishery, which was just as deep. He couldn’t reach the end of it at all, and didn’t even dare to explore the treasure trove near at hand.
The wind wall of the canyon was quite similar to the wall of sword aura out of the Abyssal Chasm.
The furious tides were rolling one after another. Regular boats could’ve been sunk by any of them. The tides were so powerful that tsunamis were happening all the time.
The only difference from the Abyssal Chasm was that the wall of sword aura only emerged on the two sides of the chasm, whereas the wind filled the entire Wind Sky Canyon. The closer one moved to the center, the stronger the wind was.
That was just the wind wall in the sky of the canyon.
As a matter of fact, Han Fei had already been consumed by a gigantic tornado. There were no clouds in the sky. Even if there were, the clouds had already been transformed into an enormous turbulence.
Stepping into the turbulence, Han Fei felt that he would be blown away if he didn’t stabilize himself with spiritual energy.
Han Fei had a lot of mixed feelings. It wouldn’t be too outrageous to call such a wind a level-20 storm.
When Han Fei got closer, he occasionally saw fish that had blue bodies and two pairs of white wings flying in the sky.
One of the pairs of wings was bigger than the other pair. The bigger wings grew between their head and abdomen, replacing the fins. The smaller wings, about one third the size of the bigger wings, grew near the tail with a fan-shaped feather.
Heh! Even a bird wouldn’t have grown like that. How can a fish look like this?
The Wind Sky Wing in Han Fei’s eyes was soaring in the wind, but nobody tried to catch it, because its wingspan was no more than five meters. It was probably too weak!
It was impossible to sail the boat any further. The tides on the surface were so high that Han Fei could only step on the water.
Looking up at the sky, he saw the blue-and-white shadows flashing in the tornado at a horrifying speed. Those Wind Sky Wings were flying purely with the power of the wind. They knew how to manipulate the wind. One couldn’t see anything but a flash with their naked eye.
When Han Fei stepped forward, he still didn’t see anyone. It seemed that no creatures lived here except the wall that didn’t fit with the gales.
He didn’t detect any fish or shrimps at the bottom of the sea either. There wasn’t even a clam, not to mention plants such as seaweeds. The bottom of the sea was mostly reefs and had little mud.
As Han Fei pressed further, and when he was only thirty kilometers away from the enormous canyon, something flashed out, and a person chased it.
When Han Fei saw them clearly, he found that someone had caught the Wind Sky Wing with a fishing pole and was dragged to the sky.
The man and the fish quickly rose at an astounding speed. That was the result of natural wind.
Han Fei didn’t enter the canyon in a hurry. He raised his head and found that the man in the sky was trying to approach the Wind Sky Wing with a twisted face.
To evade the hunter, the Wind Sky Wing simply flew to the edge of the storm, and Han Fei saw that the man was quickly covered by ice.
So, Han Fei inferred that the temperature at the edge of the storm was extremely low. He wondered how freezing it could be.
However, he didn’t think that the ice could stop a Hidden Fisher. He believed that it was only a matter of time that the Wind Sky Wing was caught.
However, when Han Fei thought that the man was about to succeed, his battle suit cracked, and his blood gushed out.
“Hiss! It ripped apart? How is it possible?”
Han Fei was quite shocked. How could the power of wind or ice have shredded an ultra-quality battle suit.
“Desolation Gale?”
Han Fei’s eyes slightly contracted. Right, a simple wind couldn’t have been so destructive, but the Desolation Gale certainly could be.
The Wind Sky Wings were fish that could swallow the Desolation Gale, but human beings couldn’t.
The Hidden Fisher quickly loosened his fishing pole and simply let the gale throw him dozens of kilometers away, before he finally landed slowly.
A moment later, when Han Fei saw the man at the entrance of the canyon, he found that the man was pale and covered with wounds. The man smiled and said, “I made a fool of myself.”
Han Fei slightly nodded. “You chose a Wind Sky Wing that had a wingspan of seven meters. You may consider a six-meter one.”
The man slightly shook his head. “No. The Hidden Fisher and the Law Enforcer levels both require wings, so the stronger the Wind Sky Wing is, the better.”
Han Fei smiled. “Good luck to you.”
Then, they stopped talking and walked into the canyon together.
The moment Han Fei stepped into the Wind Sky Canyon, he found that a weird wind was blowing from inside. The wind was cold and felt as sharp as daggers. He felt that it was as powerful as a beginner Hanging Fisher.
The man dashed down without hesitation, as if he didn’t care about the feeble Desolation Gale at all.
Han Fei was quite curious too. He also dove down and split the feeble Desolation Gale with his spiritual energy. After a thousand meters, he found that the Desolation Gale became powerful enough to rip apart beginner Hanging Fishers.
After three thousand meters, Han Fei found that the Desolation Gale could even rip apart intermediate Hanging Fishers.
After four thousand meters, Han Fei found that it was powerful enough to tear apart advanced Hanging Fishers.
This place was already at the bottom, where many people were sitting cross-legged. It had no water, just wind. All their clothes were fluttering.
Most of them were wearing battle suits, because the Desolation Gale could easily shred regular clothes.
Seeing that a person was sitting cross-legged every few hundred meters in the enormous canyon, Han Fei shook his head with a smile and didn’t think that the place was the Desolation Graveyard.
At least five hundred people are here! Some are peak-level Hanging Fishers, and some are already beyond.
After the man landed, someone smiled and said, “Old Jia, you failed again? That was your third time!”
Someone else said, “Old Jia, you have to make it in three days! Why don’t you choose a level-51 Wind Sky Wing? A wingspan of six meters is good enough.”
“Right! Old Jia, you’ve already spent a day and a half on this.”
The man named Old Jia put a spiritual fruit into his mouth and chuckled. “I’ve figured out their pace. I’ll definitely succeed next time.”
Then, without following other people’s advice, he sat cross-legged and tried to recover.
It was not until this moment that they noticed Han Fei. Probably because Han Fei had been away for too long, nobody recognized him anymore.
Also, according to Luo Xiaobai, Sun Mu and his partners had already become Hidden Fishers. They must’ve already acquired their wings.
Someone glanced at Han Fei. “Brother, are you here to adapt yourself to the Desolation Gale?”
Someone was slightly surprised. “Huh? You look familiar. Have we met before?”
Someone made fun of him. “Everybody looks familiar to you.”
Someone said teasingly, “Bro, what level of Wind Sky Wings do you intend to catch?”
Someone said, “Bro, if you’re seeking a breakthrough, you’d better wait for a couple of days. The next five days have been booked. You don’t want to coincide with others in a breakthrough, or there won’t be enough spiritual energy!”
…
Hearing their whispers, Han Fei knew that they were all almost Hidden Fishers, so the Desolation Gale wasn’t a threat to them.
That was also the reason why they were chatting without worries.
Han Fei put on a smile. “May I ask the way to the Desolation Graveyard?”
All of a sudden, the whispers were gone.
Many people gazed at Han Fei in shock. Those who were cultivating looked at him in surprise, and someone who just teased him was stumped.
Old Jia, who failed to catch a Wind Sky Wing a moment earlier, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Han Fei. “You’re going to the Desolation Graveyard?”
Han Fei nodded. “I’m going to have a try.”
“Hiss!”
Many people gasped, as if amazed by Han Fei’s courage.
Someone asked in surprise, “Bro, which department are you from?”
Someone said solemnly, “Usually, we have to wait months before anyone goes to the Desolation Graveyard, but you’re already the fifth one to explore it this month.”
Han Fei was surprised. “The fifth? Have many people gone to the Desolation Graveyard?”
Someone said with a self-mocking smile, “Yes! There was a fully-armed little fatty, the genius refiners Guan Qingyan and Mu Jia’er, a beautiful woman from the justice department, and you.”
Han Fei was slightly intrigued. Were Guan Qingyan and Mu Jia’er here too?
It did make sense. Both of them were refiners, and they must’ve been fully prepared for the adventure.
Old Jia said, “It’s said that the Desolation Graveyard lies in the middle-rear part of the canyon. You have to walk forward for three thousand kilometers to see it.”
Someone said, “Bro, don’t blame us for not reminding you, but the further you go, the more powerful the gale will be. There will even be formidable Wind Sky Wings that attack you.”
Han Fei slightly nodded. “Thank you for your warnings.”
After the man finished, Han Fei walked forward.
A moment later, Han Fei had surpassed everybody and moved into the Desolation Gales that were even more furious.
