Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 205 Trial 9
Outside the trial field, the fog was getting larger and larger, and the four monks walked around the fog carefully.

"If we don't find a solution, we may stop here." A square-faced monk at the end of the team said anxiously.

The four of them had been wandering in the dense forest for two hours, but found nothing except the increasingly thick fog.

Just now, the spirit beast of the magic cultivator in the team accidentally broke into the fog, and the little thing fainted immediately. Therefore, the four of them did not dare to touch the fog.

"We've been wandering around here for so long, but we haven't seen a single team," the leading female cultivator was very puzzled. "Either they've found a way out, or... we're trapped..."

Previously, they were still thinking of finding someone to travel with them, but now they have to admit that this road is blocked.

"The trial grounds won't keep us trapped in one place," the square-faced monk took a deep breath and held out his sword. "We'll know once we give it a try!"

After saying this, dozens of sword energies pierced into the surrounding fog and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After a moment, the red-robed mage in the team sensed something and immediately cast a protective spell. The sword energy hit the spiritual energy protection, and several people were not injured.

The square-eyed monk touched his nose awkwardly, "Thank you, Brother Sun. I was inconsiderate..."

"Alright," Sun Yuehan interrupted his teammates' nonsense, "The right thing to do is to find a way to get out of this shabby place."

"We're just going in circles. There must be a way to escape," Sun Yuehan bit her lip. "There's something we've overlooked..."

Sun Yuehan is a disciple of the Wanfa Sect, and can be considered as Feng Xiaotian's senior sister. Not only is her cultivation level the best among her peers in the Wanfa Sect, but her combat experience is also far ahead of her peers.

She suspected that this place might be a formation or some kind of enchanting demonic beast. However, Sun Yuehan believed that with so many talented people in the world of immortal cultivation, someone must have cracked the secret of this place.

The trial will definitely leave opportunities for cultivators of all professions, not just those who are proficient in formations or controlling monsters.

"That Qingcheng Sect cultivator!" Sun Yuehan suddenly thought of Wei Xi checking the package. "She must have discovered something!"

The Qingcheng Sect performed well in this sect competition, especially Qin Feng and Wei Xi, who more or less left some impression on everyone.

At that time, Wei Xi was the only one who opened the package to check it. Sun Yuehan thought she was just being cautious, but now she thinks that she found something wrong with the package.

A small monk in the team threw away the package and took a few steps back, then disappeared from the sight of his teammates out of thin air.

The remaining three people looked worried. They threw down their bags one by one and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The fog was so thick that the four people's bags were submerged in it.

……

When the moon reaches the zenith, bigger troubles are waiting for Wei Xi to solve - "Sleeping Moonlight" appears.

Going back in time, the three of them opened the main house with the key. Wang Xin stepped forward and took the initiative to step into the house to start checking.

"There's nothing strange in there," Wang Xin's voice came from the house. "It's a very ordinary house."

"The furniture was covered in dust, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time. There were a few books, and the owner might have been literate."

Wang Xin lit the oil lamp and let the two sisters in. As the soft light filled the room, Wei Xi could see clearly what was going on inside.

It was a small room, half used as a bedroom and half as a living room, with no partitions, probably in the Dongyi style; there were two pillows on the bed, and it was probably a couple who lived there before; there was a table by the window, and Wang Xin was holding an oil lamp and reading the books left behind.

Wei Xi reached out and rubbed the wardrobe beside the bed. His hands were covered in a layer of black dust. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for a while. Now that the "sun" in the trial field was about to rest, Wei Xi and the other two chose to stay in this room for safety reasons.

After eating some dry food, the three of them discussed the current clues and decided to go to the town at daybreak, hoping to find some useful information.

The three of them decided on the order of their night watch, preparing to recuperate and quickly pass through the trial field tomorrow.

Wei Xi was on night duty at midnight. At her growing age, she was inevitably sleepy when called up. Fearing she might miss work, Wei Xi grabbed a book from her desk and started reading.

The content of this book was dry, nothing more than clichés encouraging people to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Wei Xi found it boring and casually changed to another book.

The other one was more like a fable, telling the story of a monster that once brought benefits to the people by devouring all the sufferings in the world and bestowing happiness and contentment forever on its subjects.

Wei Xi, the Night Watchman, had a sarcastic look on his face, thinking that this thread-bound book was quite funny: the monster did not eat humans but instead bestowed happiness and contentment; it also devoured troubles. Why did it hide in the trial field when it was so powerful!
That's right! Wei Xi was talking about the Qing-Swallowing Beast! What could possibly happen in the Trial Field? To put it in perspective, a pond can't support two giant turtles. Wei Xi was certain the demon beast described in the book was the Qing-Swallowing Beast.

It seemed that the Qing-Swallowing Beast had already quietly invaded the trial field. The abnormality in the Zhenhai Sect trial field was likely related to this Qing-Swallowing Beast's subtle actions.

Wei Xi pinched the pages of the book, speechless: According to various sources, this Sky-Swallowing Beast was also a well-known overlord. Although it was defeated by a great immortal cultivator and was hiding in the trial field to survive, why did it still care so much about reputation?
It was completely different from the world-destroying monster that Wei Xi had imagined.

Wei Xi was planning to continue studying the book to see if he could dig out more information. Unexpectedly, there was a loud bang outside. Looking out the window, he saw flames shooting up into the sky at the other end of the town.

"Enemy attack!" Qin Feng's eyes were still in the air, but her sword was already unsheathed. Wang Xin, who was sleeping on the floor, almost had his head chopped off by her.

"It should be a cultivator," Wei Xi said calmly, sensing the violent fluctuations in spiritual energy. "It looks like he's been forced into a desperate situation."

"The highest level of the cultivators this time is only the foundation building stage. With such violent fluctuations in spiritual power, I'm afraid some cultivators will use their spiritual power even at the risk of damaging their Qi Palace..." There was some sympathy in Wang Xin's tone, and his expression was a little reluctant.

Qin Feng, who had regained consciousness, came to the window and asked doubtfully, "The top 30 in the sect competition all have their own strengths. What could have forced them to become like this?"

"I'll go and take a look." Wei Xi took out the crossbow and expressed his plan.

"What are you going to do?" "Junior sister, you can't!"

Facing the obstruction of the King of Qin and the others, Wei Xi patiently persuaded them, "Right now, I am the only one who can use my spiritual power to protect myself. The situation outside is unclear, so it is better to be cautious."

"We can wait until daybreak." Since Wei Xi'an's life was in danger, Qin Feng didn't dare to be careless. "There are cultivators outside who have been forced to this point. It shows how dangerous it is!"

"If we delay, things will change!" Wei Xi looked at Qin Feng steadily. "If we don't figure it out today, we might face the same threat tomorrow. Something has already changed in the trial field. This isn't something that can be solved by avoiding it!"

After saying that, Wei Xi carefully pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard.

Looking at Wei Xi's back, Qin Feng missed Lian Gou Xie very much: after all, the only one who could collect intelligence in the midst of danger and escape unscathed was Lian Gou Xie.

"Junior Sister Qin, what did you say? What happened to Junior Brother Lian Gou?"

Qin Feng then realized that he had inadvertently spoken his mind. Fortunately, his voice was not loud, so he said: "...It's nothing, Lian Gouyu might be able to persuade Wei Xi here..."

The cautious Wei Xi chose to climb a tree in the yard. On the one hand, it provided her with a better view, and on the other hand, the yard was relatively safe.

Wei Xi was very skilled at climbing trees, but when she saw the zombies wandering around the streets all over the city, she almost fell off the tree.

"So," Wei Xi murmured, "this is what 'Sleeping Moonlight' means."
