The walls were built of yellow sand, and there were no beasts around.
The trial grounds seemed to be separated by a layer of yellow sand.
"Something feels off."
Jia Xitong said in a low voice, but the other disciples around her had already entered one after another.
Soon, Shang Yanting carried her across the yellow sand.
In an instant, the damp and chilly forest vanished, replaced by the blazing sun and swirling dust; it was a completely different world.
Everyone looked behind them, but the entrance to the yellow sand wall was no longer visible.
A wave of intense heat washed over her, dry and stifling. Surrounded by endless yellow sand in all directions, Jia Xitong almost wondered if she had traveled through time again.
How do we get out of here?
Everything left everyone speechless; no wonder they wanted to establish a rescue center here.
In the brief moment they stood there, the Jin Yang Peak group, who had fallen behind, appeared out of thin air. When their eyes met, both sides saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They deliberately separated after meeting, but unexpectedly bumped into each other again as soon as they entered, which shows that this round of trials is quite unusual.
Fellow disciples, which way are you going?
The second senior brother looked at the disciples of Shengyang Peak.
To be honest, although we all seem to have a special connection, the senior disciples from Qing Shuang Peak are starting to have some reservations about the other peaks. Even after entering this strange place, they are unwilling to gather with disciples from other peaks.
After they had chosen their direction, the second senior brother and his fellow disciples resolutely chose a completely opposite path.
Watching them leave, a disciple from Shengyang Peak couldn't help but say, "The people from Qingshuang Peak are so arrogant."
"Yes. They're all low-level cultivators with poor equipment, and they act like they'd rather stay away from us. Do you think our Rising Sun Peak is taking advantage of Azure Frost Peak?"
Another young disciple chimed in, "He's not even Senior Brother Shang Jiuming, yet he thinks he's some kind of hot commodity."
"Alright, that's enough."
Yuan Hanyi interrupted them, "It's better to separate; finding the token is the real priority."
If they really want to be together, how to distribute the tokens once they find them will become a problem.
##
The secret realm is completely a desert!
The high temperature had forced everyone to strip down to their undershirts, and the scorching sun made people dizzy.
After walking all day, all I saw was yellow sand.
Jia Xitong couldn't wait any longer and ran back to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness to practice new talismans.
The new talisman's full name is: Beginner Lightning Summoning Talisman.
The patterns on the talisman were more complex than before. She copied them from the book, and if she paused even slightly, the entire talisman would be ruined.
The difficulty of creating talismans aroused her desire for challenge, and she didn't even notice the passage of time while making them.
Finally, the runes of the lightning-summoning talisman became familiar to him.
As the final stroke was smoothly executed, a faint electric current was generated between the tip of the pen and the talisman.
The first lightning-attracting talisman is complete!
It was already evening on the second day after entering the secret realm.
It's unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night.
Having no experience with the desert, the group was bewildered by the extreme weather. The second, fourth, and nineteenth senior brothers all caught a cold.
They had been forcing themselves to keep going for the past two days, but they finally collapsed from exhaustion due to lack of water, food, and medicine.
They left their remaining rations and water to them, but now they couldn't find the trial tokens, the senior brother's team, or the exit. There was no food or water around except for sand, so the situation was clearly going to get worse.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Old Nineteen lived up to his reputation as a weakling of Qing Shuang Peak; after his typhoid fever worsened, he almost coughed up his lungs.
Of all these people, only the tenth senior brother had some herbs in his pack. There wasn't even enough fire to start a fire, so the senior brothers suffering from typhoid fever had to chew the herbs dry.
We have to get out!
Finding the token is a minor issue; if they don't get out soon, they will be in danger.
But where is the exit?
Not only could they not find the exit, they also lost their sense of direction, running around like headless flies.
Some senior students suggested that they could use stars and the sun to make the judgment.
"The approach is correct."
The second senior brother first praised him, then pointed to the sun hanging overhead and said in a hoarse voice, "I used it to determine the way when I was leading the way."
However, the sun here does not follow the rule of rising in the east and setting in the west.
“I made a mark last night before I went to sleep. It fell from directly in front of me, and this morning it rose from the left.”
The sun doesn't even travel in a straight line, so it can't be used as a reference point at all.
"And... we couldn't find the aid station either."
One of the disciples said in a low voice, which made everyone suddenly realize that they were in big trouble!
As soon as Jia Xitong came out, she heard her fellow students discussing something with great concern.
She neither eats nor feels temperature, completely detached from normal human needs and incapable of empathy. Furthermore, she's been engrossed in practicing talisman-making for the past two days, never imagining her fellow disciples had fallen to this state.
Suddenly, she remembered that there seemed to be a compass among her art collection.
First, he pretended to touch the little backpack on the raccoon's back, then took out a compass from the magic talisman and asked, "Can this be used?"
The heated discussion was interrupted. They all turned around and their eyes lit up when they saw what Jia Xitong was holding. "A compass!"
It's a compass!
The second senior brother quickly took it and nodded vigorously after confirming that the compass could be used.
This is a timely help!
"Little Bucket, your second senior brother hereby declares you the cutest magical beast on the Aotian Continent!"
The others nodded vigorously, making it hard to disagree.
The best is yet to come.
According to the tenth senior brother's incomplete statistics, in the following time, Xitong took out three bags of water, two bottles of cold medicine that had been made into pills, and two roasted chickens and rabbits that were suspected to have been thrown away by everyone because they were not salty (but were picked up by it).
