Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 611: So Perfect it Appears Fake

Xue Wei\'s reaction to the two drooling spirits was somewhat comical. Although they were in the middle of a dangerous area where they could lose their lives at any moment, he still felt somewhat amused by their identical reactions.

"Since these flowers have such an abundant soul power, I guess that they have witnessed many deaths. Otherwise, where would all the soul power come from?" Xue Wei was aware that although neither Luoluo nor Bai Tainyi were impulsive spirits, they might be blinded by some sort of temptation that the flowers sent out, and thus he decided to help them regain their senses.

"Maybe this is where the souls of those previous beasts ended." Hei Gou was also trying to figure out what might have happened before, and although the beast horde had been defeated, he was still somewhat affected by the episode.

Now, by seeing these flowers that were bursting with energy that could only come from numerous souls, he had a strange thought that perhaps the souls had been dragged from one area to another and swallowed by the beautiful herbs before leaving the gloomy looking bodies to wander the forest as helpless puppets.

"It is still unknown. This No Man\'s Land is very confusing, and while every area seems to be independent, there has to be some sort of connection between them. Even so, this is not important for us. Let us just rush through the area and try to find the shore as soon as possible. We have to reach the White Tiger Clan as soon as possible. The more time we waste on the way, the less time we have to prepare for the hidden enemy in the dark."

Although Xue Wei was very intrigued and curious about this No Man\'s Land, he understood that they could not risk their future to adventure through an unknown land. They had to protect themselves, and if they succeeded in winning against their enemy, then they could come back to find the reasons behind this peculiar area.

One of the reasons that Xue Wei had to constantly warn about their purpose was not only to remind his companions, but also to dampen the excitement that kept trying to grow in his own heart. At any other time, he would have been eager to examine and venture deeper into this area and get to know the secrets behind these weird things, while hopefully also gain something in the process.

However, he could not take the risk now, so he was trying to stop their excitement and focus only on the task at hand.

"The area in front is a new zone, much like the ones before. We still do not know what rules this area follows, so I suggest that we, once again, ensure that we cannot be separated upon entry.

"Also, considering the temptation that these flowers have to Luoluo and Bai Tianyi, we have to be extra alert so that they will not be influenced by them."

The group had reached the border of the new zone. Only one step was needed to enter this new area, and they all felt eager to leave the gloom behind for something more beautiful. Even if the danger was higher, their mental state should also improve when looking at something more pleasing to their eyes.

The group did the same as last time, and after ensuring that they would no longer be separated upon entry, they took the deciding step into the new place.

The moment they crossed the border, their entire environment changed. It was not only a question about the visual difference, but also the floral scent in the air and the sound of birds in the sky.

The gloomy aura that seemingly had become familiar to Xue Wei and the others was swept away, as they involuntarily became more relaxed. However, moments after, their muscles turned taut, and their mind tense.

This area was much more dangerous than the gloomy forest. Even a mere step inside had almost made them feel at ease, and the comfort was about to make them lose their senses and succumb to the tranquil surroundings. Who knew what would happen to them, if they were to give in and let go of their vigilance?

"We will keep the chains that are holding us together throughout the entire time in this area." Xue Wei\'s eyes were solemn, and he kept surveying the surroundings.

Upon entering, the group had used chains made from Blood-Infused Iron to hold them together, and while this type of iron was fairly easy to obtain, it had a great benefit in this seemingly idyllic area.

The Blood-Infused Iron was made by being infused with the essence blood of special beasts, and had enhanced durability. However, the downside was that the iron itself had a somewhat bloodthirsty aura that it carried with it, and could interfere with any ordinary person\'s mind, if kept around for too long.

However, this bloodthirstiness was precisely what they needed in this dreamy place. Everything seemed way too perfect, making it appear fake. Who knew how many corpses were hidden beneath the seemingly lush green carpet of grass.

"The flowers are very tempting." Luoluo\'s voice was strained as she spoke up. Although the Blood-Infused Iron was somewhat keeping her mind anchored, she was constantly assaulted by the scent of the overwhelmingly sweet and alluring soul power that these flowers exuded, and she was afraid that if she did not have the chains holding her back, she would have rushed towards these plants a long time ago.
