Chapter 327 News from the Forbidden Plain.
The sun blazed down, the sky cloudless.
On both sides of the Gobi Desert, along the cliffs and slopes, beams of light, carrying intense heat, poured down. Yet, along this desolate path, several figures appeared.
"My goodness, this is too much!"
Upon leaving this forbidden area of the Gobi Desert, Ma Hongjun's eyes were immediately drawn to over a dozen thick soul-guided cannons, positioned not far away, ready to monitor any movement within the forbidden area.
This was a force he had never seen before in his life.
"Hahaha! This is the power guarding the forbidden area."
Seeing Ma Hongjun swallow hard, Dong Tianchi immediately burst into laughter, patting Ma Hongjun on the shoulder.
"When a beast tide occurs in the forbidden area, these guardian soul-guided legions are on the front line. For example, the Death Army Ant swarm we just encountered. However, each time, they suffer heavy losses."
At this point, Dong Tianchi and the others' eyes dimmed slightly, clearly indicating they had experienced such events firsthand.
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo examined the soul-guided cannon barrel, his eyes narrowing slightly. He had to admit, the Sun Moon Continent was indeed different from the Douluo Continent; they actually dispatched legions to guard the forbidden area.
"Brother Dong, what level are those soul tools?"
Facing Xuan Mo's question, Dong Tianchi didn't hide anything. His earlier mood vanished, and he explained, "They're all level six soul tools, equivalent to the combat power of a level six Soul Emperor, but with even greater firepower. The Empire's navy, as well as the two forbidden zones of the Gobi Desert and the Demon Forest, are equipped with them. However, aside from the navy and special periods, while the other two forbidden zones are equipped with them, it doesn't restrict soul masters from entering or leaving."
At this point, Dong Tianchi turned to look at the thoughtful Xuan Mo and sighed, "Brother Xuan Mo, you need to be careful about going to the Forbidden Plains."
"Don't worry, Brother Dong, I know what I'm doing."
Xuan Mo slightly bowed, his mind replaying what he'd said last night…
last night.
"Brother Dong, are you hiding something from us?"
Xuan Mo looked at Dong Tianchi with suspicion.
Because regarding the "Forbidden Plains," Dong Tianchi had only told them halfway. And clearly, there were other important things Dong Tianchi hadn't finished saying.
This meant that Xuanmo was completely unaware of the specifics.
"Keeping it from you?"
Dong Tianchi looked puzzled, but then seemed to realize something, and asked with a strange expression, "Brother Xuanmo, you kept saying you two were going to the Forbidden Plains, but you don't actually know anything about it, do you?"
"Please be frank, Brother Dong."
Seeing that Xuanmo was intentionally concealing something, Dong Tianchi didn't press further. After all, everyone has secrets, and it was such a small matter. Dong Tianchi didn't care much about it.
"The Forbidden Plains are different from the other three forbidden areas. Although it possesses a mysterious power, it's not necessarily a bad thing for Soul Masters, especially those with Dragon Clan bloodline Martial Souls. Therefore, that forbidden area, under the influence of the Empire, was transformed from a barren land into a training ground inhabited by Soul Beasts, but it was difficult to control and was eventually sealed off. In fact, you could say that the other three were formed naturally, while the Forbidden Plains were formed naturally under the influence of a mysterious power."
At this point, Dong Tianchi's expression became serious.
"But later, the Empire discovered that the mysterious power experiences energy tides every fifty years. Being affected by these tides can have a beneficial impact on one's cultivation or martial soul. Although the Empire values soul tools, they wouldn't ignore such a good thing, so they chose to extend this benefit to everyone. But the soul beasts inside are no pushovers; many soul masters die there each time..."
Hearing this, Xuan Mo's gaze sharpened.
He was already speculating that what Dong Tianchi described was likely closely related to the dragons buried in the Dragon Graveyard.
Dong Tianchi's words didn't end there, "However, as time goes by, the intervals between tides are getting shorter, occurring every three years. And the most recent one seems to have happened just these past few days..."
At this moment, Xuan Mo recalled the events of last night, his heart filled with emotion.
Seeing this, Dong Tianchi shook his head slightly. He had come to understand Xuan Mo's character over the past few days, and he left it at that.
"Brother Dong, thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
Xuan Mo, regaining his composure, bowed slightly and thanked him.
"Hahaha! I'm thanking you two."
With three loud laughs from Dong Tianchi, Xuan Mo's gaze locked onto the distance.
"But all good things must come to an end."
Hearing this, Dong Tianchi and the others didn't mince words.
Everyone knew that once they left the Gobi Desert, they would inevitably part ways.
At this moment, under the bright sun, both sides clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"May our friendship endure. Brother Dong, and you all (the two younger brothers), we'll meet again someday..."
"Brother Mo, are we going straight there?"
After parting ways with Dong Tianchi and the others, Xuan Mo unfolded the map Dong Tianchi had given him. It had to be said that this map was much clearer and more accurate than the one Di Tian had drawn from memory.
"That's right. After all, that so-called forbidden plain is our destination on the Sun Moon Continent."
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, Ma Hongjun echoed his sentiments. He then frequently glanced at the map in Xuan Mo's hand, occasionally muttering complaints about the absurdity of Xuan Mo's previous information.
Of course, Xuan Mo had nothing to say.
After all, according to Di Tian's information, finding the "Dragon Graveyard" was still uncertain. That place was no longer the desolate wasteland it once was.
"Sigh!"
Suddenly, Ma Hongjun's face showed worry, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder how those bastard Oscar and the others are doing now?"
Hearing this, Xuan Mo clenched his fists tightly, holding the map. Not only Ma Hongjun, but even Xuan Mo himself was constantly worried about the safety of Oscar and the others.
But now they were thousands of miles away. There was nothing he could do.
The only possibility was to go to the designated place and wait. But the current information differed from what Xuan Mo had said before.
Even so, what could he do?
"Evil Soul Master!"
Xuan Mo appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was burning with anger. Unfortunately, their strength was too low at the time, and even the Ice and Fire Dragon King was asleep.
Xuan Mo fell silent, but even so, their journey continued...
He didn't know how much time had passed.
"Brother Mo, there seems to be a city ahead?"
"That should be the only city we pass through on our way to the Forbidden Plains—the Ancient City..."
