Chapter 87 - Demonic Area
The Wild Plains was a massive stretch of land filled with lushes, blades of grass, and streams of crystal clear waters. The sun shined brightly down over the Wild Plains, drowning it in its pure refreshing essence.
Anyone who was to take a stroll through the Wild Plain would find that the air is uniquely fresher compared to Azure Lightning City. Even for cultivators, the air was rich to inhale.
Typically, the expected norm for a Great Plains region would be nothing but endless spring green grass with little to zero variety.
However, for the Wild Plains, its geography was quite different.
At random intervals of the Wild Plains were there also patches of jungle-like areas. These jungle areas had a daunting appearance.
Its plant life looked more frighteningly intimidating than anything from the Misty Wilderness Tribal Domain. A darker, chillier atmosphere engulfed each of these areas.
The length of these jungle areas was also spectacular. These jungle areas can stretch on for well over hundreds of miles!
On the surface, it seemed like these areas simply had no end. And yet, none of these areas could even come close to covering the massiveness of the Wild Plains.
Also scattered about the Wild Plains are small towns and villages that similarly occupied dozens of miles of space.
These towns and villages didn\'t stretch for nearly as long as the jungle areas.
But dozens of miles were still occupied by these towns and villages, and life was vibrantly rich at each spot.
Despite the many landmarks here, there wasn\'t a single area even 30 miles close to each other.
To even reach any town or village, a cultivator would typically stay on the long dirt road paths splitting along the ground. There were numerous dirt road paths to choose from, showing just how extensive the Wild Plain really is.
Without some sort of proper map or a powerful enough Spirit Sense, it would be incredibly easy to get lost around here.
At this moment, Cain and Kali were strolling along with the beginning of one dirt path.
This dirt path was directly connected to the other exit of Azure Lightning City. On this road, dozens of cultivators were shuffling towards and out of the city.
These cultivators all varied in strength and had different means of traveling. Some casually walked; others had beast mounts while the more powerful ones directly took to the skies.
And out of all these cultivators, not a single soul took attention towards Cain and Kail.
Before coming here, Cain had already cast Chaotic concealment upon himself and Kali. This was as much pre-prep they needed.
Cain knows they have no need in purchasing Healing items or combat weapons.
The Healing items they so \'graciously\' receive from the Liang Tribe captains were enough for several outings. And these Pills weren\'t rubbish at all. It could instantly heal them from severe injuries like in the Stormy Wind Tunnel.
As for combat weapons, Cain and Kali had a good feeling no Mortal Ranked weapon could accurately hold their strength. One swing and they may end up breaking it entirely.
Cain could still vividly recall smacking away Kyle\'s Mid-Grade Mortal weapon, nearly breaking it in the process. And he wasn\'t even using his full power at that time!
Moreover, his strength has grown since that time. He fathoms that he can catch a blade between his fingertips now.
The best offensive option they have to rely on now was the incomparable toughness of their prime Dragon God Bodies. This was several steps above any Mortal Grade combat weapons.
Although, that wasn\'t to say the higher rank weapons would be entirely useless for Cain and Kali. On the contrary, an appropriate High-Rank weapon can elevate their already insane combat strength.
The sibling duo only needed the right amount of resources to get their hands on such powerful weapons.
And with the completion of this mission, they could naturally overcome this small goal.
As Cain and Kali trailed down the dirt road, the sibling duo occasionally glanced around the scenery. They both focused their eyes, attempting to discern the views dozens of miles away from them.
Like with all other parts of their bodies, Cain and Kali\'s eyes were also continually enhanced by Nascent Qi.
With their powerfully dense Nascent Qi enchantments, the range their eyes could see up to were dozens of meters ahead.
However, even with great enchantments, the sibling could only barely make out the villages and towns at the far end of the horizon.
And the only reason they could even spot this was because each of these areas was luxuriously expansive.
To Cain, it was like peering at average-sized cities from his previous homeworld!
\'They claim it\'s on the smaller size, but they\'re all still pretty large. Though, I still don\'t even know just how large Azure Lightning City is….\'
Truly, in this mystical universe is everything shall be at least double the size no matter how mundane it is.
It made Cain wonder how big the Heaven Sky Planet is to hold all these mass stretches of land.
And this wasn\'t even counting the numerous independent realms or secret realms hidden deep within the various Province\'s regions.
If they ever wanted to travel far from Azure Lightning City, Cain fathoms that they\'ll either need to have a very high realm or purchase a Spirit flying mount.
But that was all for the future.
For now, Cain refocused his attention back on the path. He was the one leading as he memorized the jade slip detailing the direction to get to the Golden Demonic Wolf.
Cain and Kali weren\'t in a particular hurried stride. There wasn\'t a strict time limit for this mission, so the sibling duo could pace themselves before heading right into the action.
They mainly used this short time to familiarize themselves with the Wild Plain\'s layout as one day, they would be venturing far beyond here.
Time flew by, and minutes quickly passed.
Soon enough, Cain and Kali trailed off the main road, going on to a path that led directly to a jungle-like area.
These jungle areas are the Wild Plains, so-called Demonic areas.
Not many could be seen heading down these paths. And the cultivators that were here, usually paired in small or large groups.
As for the path Cain and Kali wanted to travel down, no other adventuring party was currently around.
Cain and Kali took a moment to adjust out of their leisurely state to a more battle-ready state. They took a calm breath while slowly pouring Nascent Qi into their legs.
Then, after only several quiet moments, Cain and Kali rush forth in an extreme burst of speed!
The wind sharply whistled as Cain and Kali\'s figure blurred. Behind them, faint afterimages were left in the wake of their speed.
Because of their training with Astral Energy, Cain and Kali\'s speed was no longer the same as before.
Furthermore, now that they weren\'t fighting against violent Wind pressure, the sibling duo could showcase their speed to its max potential.
After a short while, Cain and Kali traversed over dozens of miles of distance. They traveled such a great distance, and yet, neither Cain nor Kali was the slightest bit tired.
And soon enough, Cain and Kali arrived right in front of one of the Demonic areas of the Wild Plains.
Slowing their speed down, Cain and Kali began to cautiously pace themselves as they entered the jungle-like place.
Up close, the scenery was far more haunting. The trees here were all either ancient, rotten, or stained with fresh or old blood.
Cracks spread all over the ground, and there were even spots with long deep gashes splitting the earth open.
With just a look, a cultivator\'s instinct danger senses would frantically go off. The haunting atmosphere was only amplified by the chilling cold air that continually permeated all throughout the Demonic area.
The cold breeze was like the shiver of death. It could instill even the most veteran cultivators with genuine dread that can cause goosebumps to bubble their skins.
"Mnh, so this is the dreadful Demoninc area, eh? I\'ll give it this. At least I can already feel and sense the danger with just taking a few steps in." Kali could already feel her blood rumble in gradual excitement.
As she strolled in the Demonic area, her Spirit Sense detected several vicious beasts all at the Nascent Formation realm.
These vicious beasts weren\'t far from them, being at most half a mile or a few miles apart.
Cain didn\'t attach too much importance to these vicious beasts. Most of them had far weaker cultivation than both him and Kali.
He then set his sights on a specific direction and told Kali, "By the map directions, we\'ll need to head on this way. Let\'s not get distracted now."
"Mn. Let\'s go." Kali gave a slight hum in agreement.
Then, at a slower pace than when coming here, Cain and Kali sped off in this specific path.
Their direction was heading right towards the pack of Demonic Wolves.
Demonic beasts whose mere presence can terrorize even late rank Nascent Formation cultivators were nothing but targets in Cain and Kali\'s eyes.
Neither Cain nor Kali even cared about alerting other beasts to their presence as they soared through the Demonic area.
A few minutes passed, and soon enough, Cain and Kali were hundreds of meters deep in the Demonic area.
In this instance, the sibling perceived numerous powerful presences a short distance ahead of them. Immediately, their eyes brighten, showcasing a fiery spirit.
The anticipation of battle flowed through their veins as Cain and Kali started to increase their speed.
But right as they were about to speed on ahead, a loud shout filled with the utmost anxiety echoed in the jungle.
"Tyler! Ah! We can\'t hold on; these Demonic Wolves are more powerful than we expected!"
