Condemning the Heavens-Chapter 601: Gloomy Aura

Chapter 601: Gloomy Aura

The vast sandy dunes in front of the group were seemingly never ending. Although their group had seen the end of this area on the horizon, it was as if their journey would continue forever before they could reach this border.

Their journey had been hurried as they dared not relax. They did not know if the overlord of these sandy dunes would suddenly get hungry once more, and if it decided that it no longer wished to eat scorpions but wanted to taste humans, so they dared not linger.

Although their speed was as swift as possible, they still got delayed by a few groups of beasts here and there, and even now, two days after their decision of getting out of the area before the big beasts reawakened, they still had not reached the border.

"Is there really a reason for us to keep all these corpses?" Lin Xiao could not help but kick the carcass in front of him as he was starting to get frustrated.

During the time they had fought against these beasts, Xue Wei had been adamant about keeping all the scorpion corpses in their storage treasures, as he felt that they might be useful later.

This area was not native to this world, so everything that lived here was kept hidden because of their inability to leave. This meant that many things here could not be found elsewhere. Even the corpses of these scorpions were different from the rest of the world, so Xue Wei felt that it would only benefit them and not harm them to keep them.

Also, in case they encountered another of these gluttonous beasts, they could always throw a whole mountain of beast corpses in front of these strong beasts to slow them down.

Even though there was a reason behind Xue Wei's plans, Lin Xiao and the others were starting to feel disgusted when looking at these Blackscaled Vine Scorpions as they were more numerous than ants in a forest.

"We should leave this area soon. I know that the scorpions are really annoying, but you can just think of them as an extra safety charm. If the stronger beasts suddenly feel like hunting for food and we happen to be in the way, then they can be thrown out to, hopefully, let them eat these annoying things."

Lin Xiao could not hide the disgust in his eyes, but he still gathered all the corpses within his storage treasure.

"This area is very gloomy." Although they had been here for a longer time, Luoluo had been feeling uncertain about the gloom in the air. She had felt uncomfortable from the start, but from the very beginning, she had felt uncertain whether or not this discomfort was due to the dangers and their current situation, or if there was something truly wrong with this area.

As they kept moving forward, she had tried to figure out the origin of her feelings, and only now could she determine that the worry she felt was not based on their situation or the danger of this area. There was a sense of gloom in this pocket realm that had been connected to their world that made her feel uncomfortable.

Xue Wei and the others all paused as they looked at Luoluo. Although she had not said anything special, her words were enough to prove that something was wrong with this area.

Luoluo was a pure spirit. She was created by the heavens and earth essence themselves, so she was very sensitive towards evil and changes in the aura.

Since she dared to say that the aura was gloomy, then there was definitely something wrong.

"Do you feel anything in particular, or is it more of a general feeling since entering No Man's Land?"

Xue Wei could not help but frown as he began to survey their surroundings once more. He was already very guarded about their journey through this area, but now he had to consider other things as well, as she would never have mentioned this without a reason.

"At first, I was merely worried. I felt that something was wrong, but was uncertain of the cause. During the time we have been moving forward, the feeling has been getting worse, but I had to ensure that the feelings were not based on our current situation, but the area we are in."

The more Luoluo spoke, the more her brows furrowed as she kept thinking and trying to separate her emotions.

"The feeling I have is full of depression. It is as if this entire world is drenched in blood and souls that died in agony. I can feel the despair and the heavy air that is everywhere, but when looking around, no traces of souls with such intelligence have appeared."

Xue Wei could not help but frown as well, as he began to reexamine the memories of the time they had traveled through this area.

Although it was full of sand and beasts, there were no human remains to be found. There were also no traces of battles or deaths to be found anywhere.

"Could the traces of battles be hidden under all the sand?"

While they looked around, Bai Tianyi also felt a bit of gloom, but he had only become a true spirit recently, so while he was also more sensitive towards the surrounding aura, it was nowhere near Luoluo's degree.

None of the members in the group doubted Luoluo's words. Instead they began to ponder the cause of this gloomy aura and tried to figure out a solution or find a cause, as it could turn out to be a great threat to them later on.
