Chapter 99

readx;

The moment Yi Tian and his companions stepped into the Tianfeng Gorge, they felt the omnipresent gale winds sweeping around. In the wind, pebbles moved as if they were bullets, shooting at the surrounding rocks and ancient trees, creating a sound like rain beating on banana leaves, crackling from all directions.

This made Yi Tian feel as if he were in a rainforest.

The gale winds were incredibly fierce, capable of tearing apart the flesh and blood of fierce beasts, and probably only ferocious beasts could barely withstand the gale's assault.

Thus, the moment Yi Tian and his companions stepped into the Tianfeng Gorge, they immediately activated their Primordial Gales to protect themselves. Countless pebbles crashed against the Primordial Gales, shattering into pieces without any effect, as if they were walls of copper and iron.

Yi Tian and his companions each sized up the Tianfeng Gorge and took out their weapons.

The Tianfeng Gorge seemed to be surrounded by raging winds, stirring up countless dust particles. Yi Tian and his companions could only see about a hundred zhang ahead, with the rest shrouded in a gray haze.

Moreover, the gale winds in the Tianfeng Gorge were extremely powerful.

Yi Tian tried to walk in the air but was almost blown away by the gale winds, unable to stabilize his figure. The higher they went, the more terrifying the gale winds became, meaning that in the Tianfeng Gorge, they could only slowly search and explore on the ground.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Yi Tian warned the other members of the Samsara Team.

Yi Feng, Yi Li, and the others all became solemn, following Yi Tian as they walked deeper into the Tianfeng Gorge.

Half a day later, Yi Tian and his companions had already penetrated three hundred li into the Tianfeng Gorge. Here, it was no longer so desolate. They could see small grasses growing on the ground, swaying in the gale winds, incredibly soft and not at all broken by the gales.

Occasionally, they could see some vines spread across the ground, forming clusters of vines.

Roar!

Suddenly, a beast's roar seemed to come from ahead, but it disappeared in the wind in the blink of an eye.

Yi Tian and his companions realized that they had entered the territory of the ferocious beasts that lived in the Tianfeng Gorge, and they could be attacked by wind beasts at any time, so they all became alert.

When they entered another ten li, a ferocious beast with double wings suddenly descended from the sky. In the terrifying gale winds, it moved with ease, completely unaffected.

"Kill!"

Yi Tian's Golden麟Sword suddenly emitted a scorching sword aura, instantly slashing at the ferocious beast.

Puff!

The terrifying Yang sword aura pierced through the ferocious beast's head, burning it to a charred black. Then, the thirty-zhang-long ferocious beast crashed to the ground, lifeless.

"Captain acted too quickly, I didn't even get a chance to move!"

Yi Shan was somewhat frustrated.

Yi Tian ignored this warmonger and continued forward.

As for the ferocious beast with double wings, Yi Tian did not collect any spoils. Although the essence core of this low-level ferocious beast contained the energy of several dozen low-grade Primordial Stones, in the eyes of Yi Tian and his companions, the essence core of a low-level ordinary beast was not worth the time and effort to collect.

Not long after, Yi Tian and his companions encountered the attack of three ferocious beasts.

Each of them could control the power of the wind: a flying snake, a wind lion beast, and a blood-eyed vulture.

"Kill!"

"Fight!"

Yi Shan was the first to charge forward.

Then, Yi Feng, Yi Li, Yi Kuang, and Yi Hong also joined in, afraid of missing out.

Without a doubt, the three low-level ferocious beasts were quickly slain by the members of the Samsara Team. The strongest one was only at the peak of the low level, and it was very weak against the attacks of human-grade experts.

From the outside, the Tianfeng Gorge seemed to be only a few thousand li, but once they entered, they found it to be a small world, continuously extending underground.

Yi Tian and his companions had slain no less than a hundred ferocious beasts along the way.

Even more, when they entered over a thousand li into the Tianfeng Gorge, they encountered a mid-level ferocious beast, the Wind Chaser Beast.

This was a ferocious beast that chased the gale winds, extremely fast, and even human-grade experts could not catch up with it in the Tianfeng Gorge.

Yi Tian and his six companions were targeted by the Wind Chaser Beast, which continuously harassed them. In the end, they joined forces to severely injure it, and only then did they manage to slay the Wind Chaser Beast. Otherwise, they would have been in a much more dire situation.

On this journey, Yi Tian and his companions had slain over a hundred ferocious beasts, constantly on guard against ferocious beast attacks, which consumed a lot of their mental energy and true essence.

Thus, they stopped at a place where the gale winds were slightly weaker, absorbing high-grade Primordial Stones to restore their essence, and had a hearty meal before continuing their journey.

"Look, Wind Spirit Trees!"

When Yi Tian and his companions rounded a large rock, the sharp-eyed Yi Feng was the first to shout.

Yi Tian, Yi Li, and the others looked ahead and couldn't help but draw in a deep breath. Wind Spirit Trees, each about five to six zhang tall, rose up ahead, with various-sized whirlwinds rotating in the sky above, and a dense aura of essence energy permeated the air, as if they had entered a realm of wind.

The Wind Spirit Trees emitted a faint green light, which was particularly beautiful in the dim space.

In the depths of the Tianfeng Gorge, the dust had completely dissipated.

Yi Tian could see that for several li ahead, Wind Spirit Trees grew, adorning the place like a supreme fairyland. The combined power of countless Wind Spirit Trees formed numerous gale winds, which was the source of the constant gale winds in the Tianfeng Gorge.

The number of Wind Spirit Trees ahead was countless, forming a vast forest.

This was incredibly shocking for Yi Tian and his companions.

After all, a hundred-year-old Wind Spirit Tree could be refined into tens of thousands of ordinary blank talismans, priced at about two to three hundred thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, equivalent to two to three hundred high-grade Primordial Stones.

For human-grade experts, the value of a hundred-year-old Wind Spirit Tree might not be significant, but if there were thousands or even tens of thousands of hundred-year-old Wind Spirit Trees, their value would be astonishing.

Ahead, the Wind Spirit Trees formed a forest that seemed to have no end. One could imagine that the countless Wind Spirit Trees ahead were a vast treasure trove, making one's heart race and eyes turn red.

Before coming, Yi Tian had learned a lot about the information on Wind Spirit Trees.

The Wind Spirit Trees they saw, ranging from a few zhang to a dozen zhang tall, were only a few years to a dozen years old. The older the trees, the deeper they went, with ages of one hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years, and even a thousand years. They were rare materials for refining treasure talismans, worth a fortune.

A thousand-year-old Wind Spirit Tree once sold for fifty-six Primordial Crystals.

This was equivalent to the price of a powerful low-grade magical treasure.

However, while the Wind Spirit Trees in the Tianfeng Gorge made human-grade experts envious, opportunities often came with danger.

In the Wind Spirit Tree forest, countless wind-attribute ferocious beasts lived, including mid-level ferocious beasts. Some mid-level ferocious beasts, after countless years of reproduction, had formed groups of hundreds or even thousands of ferocious beasts. Once they provoked these groups, there was no hope of survival.

According to legend, in the deepest part of the Tianfeng Gorge, there were even high-level ferocious beasts, but this legend had not been verified, and no one had discovered the presence of high-level ferocious beasts in thousands of years.

Looking at the vast Wind Spirit Tree forest ahead, Yi Tian, Yi Feng, Yi Li, Yi Shan, Yi Kuang, and Yi Hong were all very alert, with a hint of excitement.

In their eyes, each Wind Spirit Tree had turned into piles of Primordial Stones and blocks of Primordial Crystals.

At the same time, the real battle was just beginning.

The teams that came to explore the Tianfeng Gorge had very few casualties along the way, but it was only in the Wind Spirit Tree forest that the real danger and battles were present, facing attacks from ferocious beasts at any time, with significant casualties.

Yi Tian and his companions then plunged into the Wind Spirit Tree forest.

Yi Shan used his large saber to chop at a Wind Spirit Tree that was only twenty years old, and a series of sparks burst out. His saber only left a mark on the Wind Spirit Tree.

Hiss!

Yi Shan, Yi Feng, Yi Kuang, and the others were somewhat surprised by this scene. The hardness of the Wind Spirit Trees exceeded their imagination.

Even though Yi Shan did not use his true essence, with his immense strength and the sharpness of his supreme spirit weapon, he could easily cut through an iron tree. The hardness of the Wind Spirit Tree was even stronger than metal.
