Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 348 The exit is right there, but no one has tried it.

The Demon-Slaying Douluo hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and asked, "Isn't this normal?"

Soul beasts are far more tolerant of their environment than human soul masters.

After the entire capital was buried by sand, only the soul beasts survived.

The Spirit Hall only gradually began to use the land as a place of exile for criminals after the Angel God left and the continent entered a new era.

Since the soul beasts entered before the human soul masters, they naturally secured advantageous positions in advance.

Most importantly, the oasis was able to exist for so long thanks to that Water Condensation Black Tortoise.

Without that massive structure stabilizing the soil around the lake, the oasis would have been swallowed up by the sea of ​​sand long ago.

"You can interpret this as the Spirit Hall testing the exiles."

"That big guy is usually asleep, so exiles can survive in the vicinity for a short time without any problems."

"Moreover, anyone with a basic understanding of geography should realize that the oasis is not the end of the Lost Lands, but rather the middle area. You should be able to figure out that even if you don't turn back, if you continue westward, you will eventually reach the end and leave the Lost Lands."

"At the western end lies an ocean. By following the coastline south or north, you can return to the human world."

"The exit has always existed, and there are no powerful figures from the Spirit Hall guarding it. As long as you can reach it, you will regain your freedom."

"But those exiles preferred to hide in the oasis for the rest of their lives rather than think of finding another way to fight for their freedom."

For the Spirit Hall, the mindset of an exile who traversed the Land of Mystery had already changed.

Their desire for freedom surpasses that of anyone else.

Therefore, even after they are released, these people are unlikely to commit crimes again.

In the beginning, the Spirit Hall informed all the exiles of these two rumors.

Ultimately, people preferred to believe in the existence of Eden (the Oasis) rather than believe that the Spirit Hall would easily let them leave.

Once you reach the oasis, you'll have a good future. Who would want to leave their comfort zone to pursue a vague and unattainable freedom?
The Spirit Hall has not proactively informed the exiles about the rumors surrounding the oasis for nearly a thousand years.

These rumors were mostly passed down by word of mouth among the exiles.

People only want to believe in the benefits that are most readily available in the present moment, and no one ever pursues ultimate freedom.

Wu Qi's earlier guess was only half right.

This experience is not meant to convey that not all endings are beautiful.

Instead, I want to say that "on the road to success there are all kinds of temptations, and most people, once they have a comfortable life, think about stopping."

In the oasis, the spirit beasts mostly serve to urge the exiles to continue their journey.

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping were not in good spirits and were taken away to rest, while Wu Qi went to report back alone.

Giving the Shahua Mandala to Qian Daoliu signifies the successful completion of this training mission.

Noticing the dark purple scepter on his back, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but ask, "Was this also brought out during your training?"

Wu Qi responded and then handed the scepter to the other party, trying to learn the origin of the item from the high priest.

Not only Qian Daoliu, but several other elders also checked the matter, but none of them had any clues.

This object resembles an ordinary scepter, made of hard material and covered with a layer of dark purple lacquer.

Qian Daoliu returned the scepter to Wu Qi and said, "I don't know what's so special about this thing. Perhaps you're just being too picky."

"This experience has been very profound for you, and it is also the original intention of the Hall of Offerings." "You have lived in a privileged environment since childhood, and you know too little about the dangers of the Soul Master world and human nature."

"The Mysterious Grand Canyon is made for geniuses like you. I am very pleased that you have successfully completed the mission."

"Later, you need to get that kid back on track as soon as possible; you have a new mission."

Before embarking on the Mysterious Grand Canyon training, Qian Daoliu said that after the mission was completed, he would share information about the Poisonous Land with Wu Qi.

It's only been a year; he wouldn't have forgotten.

Qian Daoliu said proactively, "Your next training mission is about the Land of Deadly Poisons."

"However, strictly speaking, you did reach the entrance there, but you didn't discover it at the time."

At his instruction, Qingluan Douluo handed the information he had gathered to Wu Qi, saying, "Take a close look. You went to that place to train before."

With his mental strength, Wu Qi could easily read through the documents, skimming ten lines at a glance without missing any important information.

After reading it, he felt a surge of relief.

Back in the day, when they were training in the Lipton Forest, if they had actually followed the passage all the way to the bottom, they probably would have insisted on entering the highly poisonous area to find out what was going on.

Based on the current investigation results, if they had entered at that time, everyone would probably have been trapped there.

Missing the entrance back then was perhaps a stroke of luck.

Qian Daoliu said, "You already know most of the information you need about the Poisonous Land. Even I, an old man, may not know more about it than Ghost Leopard Douluo."

"He has already said everything he could, except for one thing."

Azure Phoenix Douluo then spoke up: "I once entered it and successfully came out. But I didn't encounter the same situation as Elder Ghost Leopard. Perhaps, the opportunities we received were different, and we went through different passages."

"But what I saw was a giant cemetery."

Qingluan Douluo also entered the next level of the Poisonous Land.

Based on the accounts of the two titled Douluo, Wu Qi could roughly deduce that the poisonous land had two levels, upper and lower.

The upper layer is the underground cave world that has been detected so far, with a complete ecosystem.

Even with the help of the divine power of the Heavenly God, Qian Daoliu could only force his way through this level and could not enter the next level.

When Qingluan Douluo entered the next level, he discovered the corpse of a giant Qingluan divine beast.

It was already dead, but its corpse still exuded a powerful aura.

Back then, it was because of the spiritual energy on the corpse that Qingluan Douluo achieved what he has today.

However, the scene that Ghost Leopard Douluo saw was different from what he had witnessed.

They entered another channel and underwent some kind of assessment, which enhanced their talents, leading to their current breakthrough to the title of Douluo.

This is why Qian Daoliu suspects that there is a divine inheritance within it.

The assessment that can alter a Soul Master's talent can only come from the hands of a deity.

Golden Crocodile Douluo added, "We suspect that the Land of Deadly Poisons is actually a two-layered secret realm."

"That is, that place should have been the burial ground of the Azure Phoenix divine beast. For some unknown reason, it was occupied by an alien deity and turned into a place for selecting talents."

"For you, you won't lose out by receiving either of these two inheritances."

"That Azure Phoenix divine beast should possess some kind of inheritance, and the other passage is another inheritance."
