Chapter 1187: Chapter 1186: Entering the Great Desolate Valley
The Great Desolate Valley is much larger than the Dark Forest. As soon as the group entered the Great Desolate Valley, they felt a desolate aura rushing towards them.
Unlike the dark aura of the Dark Forest, the Great Desolate Valley gave off a sense of dead silence, and there was a faint feeling of heart-pounding aura coming from the depths of the valley.
"This Great Desolate Valley must have evolved from a battlefield long ago!" Xuanyuan Xia looked at the Great Desolate Valley and then said in a deep voice, "There are often many powerful and incredible things present in battlefield relics. I think thatās the reason why the Great Desolate Valley is so deserted. Everyone must be extra careful."
Upon entering the Great Desolate Valley, a heatwave hit them, but everyone was strong, so the heatwave did not cause any trouble.
However, after two hours, the Bright Saintess was the first to struggle. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, letās rest for a bit. Itās really too dry and hot here."
Ling Feng looked at the others, "What does everyone think?"
Except for Little Black and Little Gold, everyone else unanimously requested a rest.
"Then letās take a break!" Ling Feng said. "Saintess, send someone to look around and see if thereās an oasis nearby. Is the entire Great Desolate Valley like this?"
The Bright Saintess nodded and then sent two Knights of Light to survey the surroundings.
The others remained in place to rest.
Tama said worriedly, "We should have prepared more water and food before entering the Great Desolate Valley. Iāve heard from the elders of our tribe that this Ancient Great Desolate area is uninhabited for miles, completely separated by sand and dirt. Without enough supplies, shouldnāt we head back... weāre not very deep in yet?"
"Forget about going back!" Xuanyuan Xia said with a smile. "In the Ancient Great Desolate, you canāt find a sense of direction at all. If you want to go back, you canāt pinpoint the location and will just keep getting farther away, eventually getting lost in the Great Desolate Valley. Thatās actually the most terrifying thing about it!"
Tama said in surprise, "Then... wonāt we really just die here?"
Ling Feng looked at Tama, whose face was full of surprise and worry, and sighed intentionally, "Yeah, Tama, I realize Iāve really underestimated the Great Desolate Valley. If we canāt find food, we might actually starve to death here! Do you regret coming out with me?"
Unexpectedly, Tama shook her head, "Iāve never regretted it. Even if I were to die in the Great Desolate Valley now, I wouldnāt regret it! Because I bravely took the first step! I didnāt want to stay in the tribe until death! Also... I have confidence in Brother Ling Feng; youāll definitely find a way!"
Ling Feng touched his nose, confused as to why this little girl, Tama, had so much confidence in him!
"Okay, enough joking!" Ling Feng laughed, then took out a bottle of mineral water from the Devilās Ring and threw it to Tama, "Drink it; I have plenty of water and food here!"
When Ling Feng first entered the Atlantis Continent, he anticipated this day might come, so he filled the Devilās Ring with food and water in advance. Even if they stayed in the Great Desolate Valley for a year, they wouldnāt lack food or water!
Then, Ling Feng took out some water and food and invited everyone to come and eat.
At this time, Mona Lisa came to Ling Fengās side, "Ling Feng, have you noticed that since we entered the Great Desolate Valley, our strength has been gradually weakening?"
Ling Feng was a little surprised, "Whatās wrong? Have you noticed it too?"
Mona Lisa nodded, "You indeed have noticed! Since we entered the Great Desolate Valley, I always feel as if there is an invisible force constantly drawing our strength. Although the force is very weak, if this goes on for too long, weāll inevitably get weaker and weaker, and eventually..."
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Donāt worry, Iāve also sensed this force, and it originates from underground. I think itās one of the secrets of the Great Desolate Valley! However, right now, we have no other options, and we just have to keep going. But I think when it reaches a certain point, that entity that keeps draining our strength will definitely show itself!"
Mona Lisa frowned, "So we really have no other way? We can only sit and wait?"

"For the time being, there really isnāt!" Ling Feng shrugged, "And havenāt you noticed? This pulling force is more noticeable for those of us with the Power of the Abyss! But the Bright Saintess and her people havenāt noticed any of this!"
Mona Lisa looked over at the Bright Saintess, who was drinking and eating snacks, and frowned, "Are you saying..."
"Beneath this Great Desolate Valley, itās very likely that there are creatures related to the Bloodline of the Abyss!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Donāt worry too much about it. As they say, when the carriage gets to the mountain, there will be a road! Go have something to eat now so youāll have energy to travel later."
Mona Lisa gave a wry smile, but seeing Ling Fengās confident demeanor, she felt a little reassured.
Tama was very curious about this bottled water and quickly learned how to unscrew the cap and drink under the Bright Saintessās guidance.
"Thank you, big sister!" After a few days of interaction, Tama had learned some simple English and said with a smile to the Bright Saintess.
The Bright Saintess grew more fond of Tama, not only staying close to her when she had free time, but also kept watching Ling Feng with a vigilant gaze, as if Ling Feng had really done something to Tama before. This left Ling Feng feeling quite frustrated.
"Wow, Iām finally feeling refreshed!" At this moment, a mark on Ling Fengās hand lit up, and a Crystal Skull appeared before him.
"Huh? Where is this?" The Crystal Skull looked at the vast desert wasteland, somewhat dazed, "Werenāt we supposed to be in our god raceās tribe?"
"Ahem, that was three days ago!" Ling Feng said with a dry cough, "Werenāt we supposed to go to the Endless Forest? So we set off early, and now weāre in the Great Desolate Valley."
"Great Desolate Valley?" The Crystal Skull had a look of disbelief, "You guys think you can just pass through the Great Desolate Valley smoothly? Are you kidding me?"
Ling Feng curiously asked, "Whatās so mysterious about the Great Desolate Valley? Why do you look constipated?"
"Constipated? Youāre the one whoās constipated! Have you ever seen a Crystal Skull get constipated?" The Crystal Skull replied moodily, "This Great Desolate Valley was once the battlefield between the Abyss Tribe and the God race. Back then, our god race masters defeated the Abyssal Clan, and a lot of the Abyssal Clanās blood was spilled here. Itās just that... at that time, an extremely powerful master from the Abyssal Clan appeared, and because of his appearance, our god race suffered a disastrous defeat in this area of the Great Desolate Valley!"
