Dumbfounded (2)Qinghan made a decision to quickly find the safe s.p.a.ce near the exit and to cultivate for about a year or so. Who knows, he might advance his level in the Mysterious Trace Step and the Seven Techniques of the Ye Emperor.
After resting a little, Qinghan started to run towards where the mirage of the exit had appeared. In his past life, he had some knowledge regarding mirages.Mirages are are created when light is refracted, so the probability of a mirage being in line of the person seeing it is quite high.
“Whoosh.”
But, after he had already walked for an hour, from beneath the yellow sands in front of him, a few crocodile-like beasts appeared once again. As soon as they had emerged, the immediately attacked Qinghan.
“Whoosh.”
Having experience fighting these beasts, Qinghan did not seem to mind them at all, abruptly utilising his integration technique Soul-Blackout.
Using the black fog to influence the beasts’ eyesight and judgement, he quickly fended off these few crocodile-like monster. Qinghan then once again continued in a straight line.
However, en route, he observed that the beasts that are attacking have become more abundant. It had started from a few, and now it had become more than ten at a time.
After repelling the last crocodile-like beast, Qinghan let out a forced laugh. From head to toe, his clothes had already been reduced to rags. On his blood covered body, many wounds could be found. Wounds that had not healed from before opened up once again.
He helplessly tore the rags from his body, and brought out a golden piece of leather armour from within his bag.
This armour was acquired from the Prefecture War. Originally, Qinghan didn’t wear it was it was too big, but right now, there was no other option except to put it on.
…..
Eh!!! Instead of it being slightly oversized, it seemed more like a bath towel on him. He had to use his broken rags to tie it onto himself. Even though it looked very funny, there was no helping it. Although Qinghan can heal whenever he is hurt, is still made from flesh and bones, so he is still afraid of getting hurt.
Continuing to move forward, Qinghan had a feeling he was getting quite close to the end. Despite this feeling being nonsensical, he still walked onwards following his gut.
The time between the appearances of the crocodile-like beasts became smaller and smaller as more and more of them started to pop out.
As soon as Qinghan had started to wear his leather armour, his defense had improved greatly. He only needed to protect his head as other areas were covered by the leather armour and his Battle Qi.
Now, he could feel more relaxed, except the consumption of his Battle Qi had increased.
“Hoo.”
Just like this, he trudged along with difficult for another half an hour. Finally, Qinghan laid eyes upon the black terrace he had seen before, and also the pitch black exit.
“Oh no, don’t play with me like this…”
In the distance, outside the dark cave entrance, there was a half-transparent dome exactly the same as the one outside the Puppet pa.s.sageway.
The reason why Qinghan was sure this wasn’t a mirage was becuase the mirage from beofre did not have a dome.
The only thing is… outside the dome in the yellow sand, there were countless crocodile-like beasts. They were all crouched on the ground, enveloping the half-transparent dome. They were so densely packed that there were easily over ten thousand of them.
He had found the exit, but how was he to get through?
There were so many that not even water could pa.s.s between them. These beasts did not attack each other, so just thinking about squeezing through required all his effort.
Qinghan scratched his hair, and jsut stood there, dumbfounded.
