Chapter 320 One of the Forbidden Lands of the Sun and Moon Continent (Part 1)
Following the direction of their gaze, several figures were rushing towards them in the distance.
As these figures approached, Xuan Mo could see their clothing and appearance clearly.
Although it differed from that of the Douluo Continent, it wasn't hard to tell that these people were mercenaries.
Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly as they watched the figures.
After all, encountering strangers in such a godforsaken place could only be described in two words: "troublesome."
Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun withdrew their gaze and prepared to turn and leave. After all, if they encountered strangers in such a place, who knew if murder and robbery might occur for some reason.
At the same time.
"Big brother, look quickly, there are two people over there!"
Among the group of people not far away, an ugly, burly man covered in black soot, with a scar on his face resembling a huge centipede, shouted after spotting Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun.
A burly man with a face full of scars, equally ugly and ferocious, immediately looked in the direction of Xuan Mo and his companion after hearing his brother's words. His expression changed slightly. "Not good, that's... Quick! Stop them!"
The burly man with the scarred face quickened his pace, ordering everyone to give chase...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Brother Mo, they're coming this way..."
Ma Hongjun, who was watching the situation behind them, quickly informed Xuan Mo.
At this moment, Xuan Mo's face turned completely grim.
In Xuan Mo's view, the guys chasing after them were basically thugs preparing to kill and rob. After all, their faces, full of scars and covered in scars, gave Xuan Mo the impression of a ruthless character.
Since that's the case, if they're going to make a move, then don't blame me.
Thinking of this, Xuan Mo's face hardened.
If it was determined that they were indeed going to attack, then he had to strike first.
Strike first, or suffer the consequences.
Moreover, Ma Hongjun, noticing Xuan Mo's signal, assumed he was about to attack.
"Wait, you two! That's Shensha ahead!"
This single sentence stunned Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun, who were about to attack them.
"Shensha?"
Xuan Mo paused.
Seeing the group of burly men getting closer, he immediately released his spiritual power, but sensed no killing intent from them.
So, while remaining vigilant, Xuan Mo slightly diverted his attention.
He slowly lowered himself, searching his memory for past events, and pinched the yellow sand on the ground not far ahead with two fingers.
At the same time, his eyes flickered…
Meanwhile, on Ma Hongjun's side, "Do you think we're stupid?! Shensha? I've never heard of it. What? This thing can eat people?!"
Ma Hongjun's mouth rattled off like beans. By the time it reached the ears of the burly men, if the leader hadn't been so composed, Ma Hongjun would probably have been furious.
"Hey. Kid, it's dangerous over there."
"It's flat ahead, what's dangerous about it?"
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, his face full of vigilance as he stared at the group of fierce-looking guys in front of him.
The ugly, burly man with a scar running across his entire face couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Kid! Don't be so arrogant! Brother, what are you saying? If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Just as the atmosphere between the ugly, burly man and Ma Hongjun was gradually becoming tense, two voices came from behind them.
"Wei Luneng, don't make a move!"
"Fatty, wait a minute!"
When Ma Hongjun turned around, Xuan Mo had just sprinkled the sand in his hand and then stood up and walked over.
At this moment, the other burly man also turned his gaze to Xuan Mo, but his face full of scars didn't look out of place at all.
Xuan Mo ignored them. He swept his gaze over the middle-aged man and immediately assessed his strength: around the Soul King level, only one level away from breaking through to Soul Emperor, just one step away…
"Thank you for informing me, Uncle."
Under Ma Hongjun's bewildered gaze, Xuan Mo bowed slightly in gratitude.
It turned out that after their conversation, Xuan Mo, through observation, recalled the phenomenon of the sinking sand.
He realized that the burly man with the muscular face meant no harm; on the contrary, he had warned them.
After all, while he wasn't afraid of sinking into the sinking sand, it would still be troublesome.
Therefore, Xuan Mo expressed his gratitude.
The burly man with the muscular face smiled at Xuan Mo and the others and said, "My name is Dong Tianchi, I'm a mercenary. I happen to be here on a mission in this Gobi Desert. I just noticed you were about to enter that sea of sinking sand, so I stopped you…"
At this point, Dong Tianchi hesitated, glancing at Xuan Mo and his companion.
"You two are truly audacious! So young, yet you dare to venture into one of the most infamous forbidden areas of the Sun and Moon Continent! You've got guts! Hahaha!"
Dong Tianchi laughed, his face trembling slightly, adding to his fierce and menacing appearance.
If he could, he could probably stop a child's crying.
Xuan Mo chuckled but didn't say anything more.
"By the way, brother, may I ask how to get out of this Gobi Desert? And what is this forbidden area you're talking about?"
Xuan Mo hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking, not wanting to waste his energy on getting lost. As for the forbidden area, it was just a side note.
"Oh?" Dong Tianchi asked, somewhat surprised. "You two aren't from the Sun and Moon Continent?"
Xuan Mo nodded slightly, smiling without speaking.
Seeing this, Dong Tianchi didn't delve further, but instead readily explained to Xuan Mo.
"There are four forbidden areas in the entire Sun and Moon Continent: a forest, a desert, a valley, and a plain."
"The forest is the Demon Forest, the largest soul beast forest on the Sun and Moon Continent, said to be home to legendary 100,000-year-old soul beasts. The desert is here; apart from a few special soul beasts, there's not a trace of human habitation. As for the valley and the plain, they are the most mysterious. That 'valley' is always shrouded in mist and clouds; once stepped into, no one survives—it remains unknown. And the 'plain,' because of an unknown, mysterious power, is also listed as a forbidden area."
As Dong Tianchi spoke, Xuan Mo's eyes gleamed.
Based on Dong Tianchi's description, he was certain that the "valley" was the Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
And the "plain" was highly likely their destination: the Dragon Clan Graveyard.
"In that case... I wonder, Brother Dong, where is that forbidden plain located?"
Xuan Mo pondered for a moment, then asked again…
