The captain puts the mission first, and then the team members. But without all the team members, the mission is difficult to complete. This time they are going to Tanghua Temple to determine whether the thing in the south of the South China Sea is the wild beast king Quedan that was sealed back then, or a creature from another continent.

After Qingxunzi and the vice president returned from the divine path of searching for the Great Wilderness Consciousness, a huge meeting was held, with all five major forces participating. What they told everyone was what the Great Wilderness Consciousness said. She said that there would be a huge change, and everyone was united in their focus, pointing to the south of the South China Sea.

This mystery has existed for too long. Tanghua Temple said that it was darkness and evil, and it was the Quedan who was sealed back then, because the power in the black smoke was very strong and carried an ancient breath. But Qingxunzi said that there were creatures from another continent, and as for the ancient breath, it might be the breaths of Quedan who was sealed and suppressed and died.

Tanghua Temple's unified view and Qingxunzi's view each have their own supporters, just like different beliefs and doctrines, with different views and opinions. There is no need to argue about beliefs, regardless of whether they are noble or humble, because everyone has a deep respect for life, but this matter is different. If you don't even know who the enemy is, it will be more difficult to deal with. Compared to the darkness where the truth is unknown, people in the light face many difficulties and find it difficult to move forward!

The team, who were carrying a heavy task, set up a tent, made a fire and cooked some food, and spread the charcoal around the tent to form a circle. Although the captain's face was cold, like an eternally cold ice field, he could control the blazing fire and inject his vitality into the charcoal, making it release light and heat all night long.

"What does this mean?"

Seeing the captain constantly releasing his vitality, as if he was going to exhaust his own vitality, the young man was a little curious. But the man next to him had a serious face and just put his index finger between his lips to tell him not to talk nonsense. What the captain hated most was people who kept mumbling!

The young man was very curious. The captain's strength was in the second round of the Supreme Realm Fruit, and he had some status in the entire union, but even so, these charcoal fires with vitality would not burn until tomorrow morning. The young man didn't know why he thought so. When he recovered, he found that the temperature around him dropped sharply and it was dark soon, which made him understand the reason for the captain's actions.

It was still dusk, the sky was dark but not yet pitch black, but at some point, the dark brown clouds in the sky hurriedly left, pulling open a curtain of night, and suddenly descended into the world. It arrived very quickly, covering the sky and the sun in just a moment. But in that moment, the whole world became strange.

Originally, this wasteland was extremely deserted and dead silent, and now it was completely empty. The whole world was silent, and a dark mass of things appeared out of nowhere, and even seemed to crawl out from their hearts and in front of them, covering the young man's vision for a moment, causing him to sit down on the ground, and he was extremely shocked when he looked around.

"What?"

Darkness never walks alone. When it comes, it covers the sky and the earth, shortening the dusk of this world by a lot and going straight into deep night.

No one knew where the wind came from, it was crawling in the darkness, and when it saw the charcoal fire it began to whistle, as if to extinguish it, but it only blew up large tongues of fire, causing the young man to scream as if he had seen a demon.

“I’ve never seen the world!”

The man carried it into the tent, and the captain followed behind. He formed a seal with both hands and pressed them hard on the ground. The charcoal fire instantly intensified, and the color was as dark as a furnace. The vitality played its role in it, and the captain went back after seeing the good effect. The young man was so scared that he didn't even ask what happened. Even if this wasteland was strange, such a scene of hundreds of ghosts howling shouldn't happen.

He had wanted to come here and fought hard for this spot. Which young man doesn't have a fearless heart for adventure? But the captain just growled and told him to close his eyes.

"sleep!"

The captain had accumulated experience over a long period of time and knew that he should not do anything else at this time, but sleep! This was what the senior who led him to carry out the mission said at this time. He would know the reason sooner or later, but what he needed to do now was not to talk nonsense, but to sleep!

The young man wrapped himself in the blanket he brought with him. He originally thought that he would not need it, but he did not expect that the coldness in the wilderness was not in the wind and air, but in the bones. The coldness came from all directions, making the young man shiver slightly, but Xia Xiao and Azhu had a completely different scene.

The sky and the earth were indeed getting dark quickly. The clouds in the sky disappeared in the blink of an eye from Xia Xiao and A Zhu's eyes. But now they pressed down a piece of wild grass and sat on it to stew meat soup.

"There is not a single wild vegetable in the wilderness, so it really lives up to its name."

Azhu was a little disappointed and stirred the soup with a long spoon, but Xia Xiao beside him stood up.

"What's wrong?"

The dim firelight could not illuminate Xia Xiao's face, so Azhu could not see his expression.

In this night, she and Xia Xiao were like ordinary people, no longer having the reactions of practitioners, but when she stood up, she followed Xia Xiao's gaze and saw a dark place. It was dark inside and outside, without any other colors, but the strangeness gradually became terrifying. It seemed that there was a huge monster hidden in it, about to open its bloody mouth and start biting. But Xia Xiao and Azhu could not see its existence, they could only vaguely feel something moving, just like looking into the deep sea, clearly seeing nothing, but feeling like there were billions of eyes staring at them.

“So scary!”

Ah Zhu sat down quickly, not wanting to see those guys. She thought it was all her hallucinations. It was just because the sun was on the other side at night, nothing unusual. But the cold and strange wind around made Ah Zhu hug Xia Xiao's legs and beg him to say his name. The latter squatted down and took out the bowls and chopsticks from his backpack.

"What's around?"

Ah Zhu carefully shrank his neck and looked around, but Xia Xiao didn't know that this was also his first night in the wilderness. Xia Xiao had never thoroughly researched the wilderness and had not made much preparation, but there was one thing he was sure of, so he said:

"Those adventurers might be in danger. These guys seem to be heading towards them."

"Why don't you come to us?"

Ah Zhu didn't want to be in danger, he was just simply curious, but Xia Xiao's answer was very close to the answer.

"Maybe I'm possessed and they think I'm their companion. Anyway, I feel a kind of intimacy that I didn't feel last time. It could also be the relics of my predecessors. I feel it is giving off heat, a very warm heat."

Azhu put his little hand into Xia Xiao's clothes, placed it on his chest, and really felt a slight warmth.

"Didn't you say you wanted to develop it? Why don't you give it a try?"

"We'll try after dinner. Anyway, with their strength, they won't be defeated for the time being."

Xia Xiao smiled. After he saved them, they would take him south with them and no longer be so vigilant. People might have guessed that he would hide in the most dangerous place, but they certainly could not have guessed that he, a demon, was now half Buddha!
