His mind was clear, and his body relaxed as he moved with the flow of the water. After circling a few tis, he suddenly exerted strength in his arms and used the montum to break free from the water tornado.
Not daring to linger, Li Xiu vigorously paddled his arms and legs, swimming upwards.
In no ti, he erged from the pool and climbed onto the nearby stone platform.
"What trendous power!" Li Xiu looked at the turbulent, bubbling surface of the pool, feeling greatly astonished.
To be able to create such a water tornado in those deep waters solely with the power of wings, such strength is already very close to an S-Class ordinary magic spirit.
If only he had the Demon Armor on him, Li Xiu could easily defeat it with his eyes closed. Unfortunately, he couldn’t bring the Demon Armor in here, and he currently didn’t have the ability to kill a magic spirit with strength close to S-Class in this place.
"Li Xiu, what’s the situation down there?" Shale asked curiously.
"That thing is munching on rocks down there," Li Xiu replied.
"Munching on rocks? Was that thing air-dropped just to eat rocks? Those rocks must be sothing special, right?" Shale’s first thought was similar to Li Xiu’s.
"It looks like jade, wrapped in a layer of black skin on the outside, with fluorescent-like white jade inside," Li Xiu described the appearance of the stone.
"From what you’re saying, it sounds a bit like erald, which is produced in Red Sand City. I’ve heard so Trial Gates require eralds to open. But this is the Land of Trial, why would there be such a thing as erald here?" Shale pondered for a mont, her eyes lighting up as she said, "Do you think it might be that a Trial Taker has been here before us?"
"Are you stupid? Even if a Trial Taker had been here, how did he bring the erald in?" Li Xiu laughed.
Only then did Shale rember that external items couldn’t be brought into the Land of Trial: "Then it can’t be erald, as for what it could be from the Land of Trial, I have no idea."
Li Xiu looked at the still rippling pool water and thought, "The power of the Locust Demon Spirit is already very close to that of an ordinary S-Class demon spirit. It doesn’t seem to have any Light Patterns or brilliance, so it should be an ordinary S-Class demon spirit without quality. Yet, I always feel sothing’s off, like it’s not an ordinary demon spirit."
"Forget whether it’s ordinary or not, I’m just asking if you can beat it?" Shale inquired.
"I can’t," Li Xiu shook his head.
"If you can’t beat it, then why think so much? Let’s quickly find so magic spirits we can actually kill. I’m still hoping to get a Demon Spirit Ring," Shale said.
"Got a point," Li Xiu shook off water droplets from his body and was about to follow Shale to check outside the oasis.
However, when he looked up at the sky, Li Xiu frowned, "There’s sothing wrong with this sky."
"Could there be another air-drop?" Shale was startled, glanced at the sky, and found no sign of the black bird-like thing, which made her sigh in relief and pouted, "Don’t you know scaring people can make them die of fright?"
"I wasn’t talking about that black bird thing, I was talking about the sun. Haven’t you noticed? We’ve been here for quite a while, and the sun hasn’t moved at all," Li Xiu pointed at the sun in the sky.
"Really? I didn’t notice," Shale paused.
"We’ve been here close to four hours, it was midday when we arrived, and now it’s still there," Li Xiu said.
"Are you suggesting there’s no night here?" Shale understood but then pondered, "What does that matter? Isn’t it better during the day? We can see more clearly, which is better than seeing nothing at night, right?"
Li Xiu removed the Dark Mirror and said, "A Land of Trial with various anomalies must have its reasons. If there’s truly no night here, then there would be no dark-based creatures. With the temperature so high, there’s a high chance of encountering magic spirits with heat abilities. How can it be insignificant?"
"You’re not wrong there, but the magic spirit we encountered earlier didn’t seem to have high-temperature abilities," Shale hesitated.
"It’s always good to be cautious. Do you have any heat-resistant capabilities?" Li Xiu smiled.
"I don’t, do you?" Shale looked at Li Xiu.
"Sorry, I do have a little," Li Xiu said, summoning the Ice Soul Sea Demon. This creature emitted a chill, although not enough to harm, having it around made things feel much cooler, reducing the heat significantly.
"Geez, how many magic spirits do you have? Are Demon Spirit Rings that easy to get?" Shale said sulkily, "You know it’s easy to get yourself killed like this, with so many people hating the wealthy, myself included."
Li Xiu chuckled, "Let’s go check it out."
With the loss of the Black Death Demon, Li Xiu could only have the Pink Nightmare scout ahead, heading in the direction where the magic spirit initially appeared from.
Climbing over a sand dune, the two of them stood on top of it and looked into the distance. They saw an endless stretch of undulating sand dunes stretching all the way to the horizon, an indescribably majestic sight.
"What do you think the Land of Trial actually is? Is it a planet sowhere in the universe, or the legendary Otherworld?" Shale said excitedly.
"I don’t know if this is the Otherworld, but we better not go too far; it could be dangerous," Li Xiu said as he surveyed the surrounding sand dunes.
