Chapter 599: Speculation

"It was fine when we came here. Could it be that this water shield can only be entered but not exited?" Xue Wanyun looked at the water shield above and said uncertainly.

Duan Qing did not speak, but just stared at the water shield with a frown.

After careful observation, he found that although the water shield at this time looked the same as when he came here, if he looked carefully, he could still see that the color of the water shield was slightly darker than when he came here.

After thinking for a while, Duan Qing couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head to Zhaixing and said, "What do you think, Daoist Fellow Zhaixing?"

Zhaixing looked gloomy, and obviously felt confused.

After a long silence, Zhaixing slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Seeing that Zhaixing, who came from the Taihuang Sect, was powerless, the others couldn't help but feel a little desolate.

"Taihuang Sect kid, what conspiracy are you playing again!" Mo Jian was a little angry and pointed at Zhaixing and shouted.

Zhaixing led everyone to the wasteland and entered the water shield under the lake again, saying that there was no way out, anyway, he didn't believe it.

"Little white face, if this young master is plotting, I will kill you first!" Zhaixing retorted without any courtesy.

He had suffered many losses at the hands of Duan Qing in this wasteland, and now he was inexplicably trapped in the water-proof cover, and he was furious!

Mo Jian came to make trouble at this time, and it was good that he didn't fight him.

"Hmph, what a big tone, no matter how powerful your Taihuang Sect is, can it be greater than my Shendao Sect? It's just the second place for ten thousand years!" Mo Jian was not a person who was willing to suffer a loss, especially in front of Xue Wanyun, and he couldn't let Zhaixing continue.

"Haha, what sect, just ask if you dare to challenge this young master, this young master will show you who is the second!" Zhaixing laughed in anger and said sarcastically.

Mo Jian was about to fight back, but was interrupted by Xue Wanyun: "Stop arguing, do you still want to go out!"

"Since the lady has spoken, this young master will give this little white face a face!" Zhaixing glanced at Mo Jian and said disdainfully.

Mo Jian's face was full of anger, but he didn't say anything else.

He still had to give face to Xue Wanyun.

But he had a grudge against Zhaixing in his heart.

Seeing that the quarrel had subsided, Duan Qing suggested to everyone: "Why don't we attack together and see if we can break this barrier."

Everyone had no other way for a while, and all agreed.

Then, everyone spread out a distance from each other, and under Duan Qing's command, they all attacked the water-proof cover with their own methods.

However, to everyone's disappointment, everyone's attack basically had no effect, and even failed to cause too much fluctuation in the water-proof cover, and was bounced back one after another.

"Come again!"

Duan Qing did not give up, and continued to command everyone to attack the water-proof cover.

After a full cup of tea, everyone stopped.

After a cup of tea, the continuous attack changed several places, but still failed to break the water-proof cover.

This result made everyone feel a little desperate.

"It's really a ghost, what's going on, Adi!" Zhaixing panted slightly, forgetting that Adi was being controlled by him, and subconsciously asked Adi.

Adi naturally couldn't answer Zhaixing.

However, his question made others subconsciously look at Adi.

After seeing this, others immediately found something wrong.

Zhaixing noticed the gazes of others and looked down at Adi.

It turned out that Adi's body had shrunk a circle without knowing when, and was still shrinking.

Zhaixing was shocked and reacted immediately, exclaiming: "The wild air here is receding!"

Adi's body can grow bigger because of the blessing of the wild air.

Now that the wild air here is receding, Adi will lose the blessing of the wild air, and his body will naturally recover slowly.

Hearing Zhaixing say this, Duan Qing showed a thoughtful expression.

It stands to reason that the bottom of this underground lake is in the wasteland boundary, and there should be no signs of the wild air receding.

Now that the wild air is receding, it means that the wild air should be consumed by something.

The one who consumed the wild air was probably A-di. Apart from A-di, no one present could absorb the wild air.

It was obvious that A-di's strength increased greatly by absorbing the wild air.

But there was one thing that was very strange.

Since there was wild air in the water-proof cover originally, it meant that the water-proof cover should not prevent the wild air from entering this place.

But now that the wild air in the water-proof cover has been consumed by A-di, it also means that the wild air in the water-proof cover cannot be replenished.

Otherwise, given the size of the wasteland and the connection between the water-proof cover and the wasteland, how could the wild air be consumed by A-di in just a few hours?

In this case, isn't it contradictory!

Therefore, Duan Qing could only think of one explanation.

That is, the water-proof cover would not originally prevent the wild air from entering, and some kind of accident may have occurred later, which isolated the wild air from the outside world.

That is why the wild air in the water-proof cover could not be replenished and was consumed by A-di.

Only in this way can the current situation be explained.

As for what caused this change, Duan Qing had two speculations.

One was that everyone entered the water-proof cover.

The other possibility is related to the death of the source beast.

Apart from this, there should be no other possible cause of the incident here.

Comparing the two, Duan Qing is more inclined to the latter.

At this time, as the wild air in the water-proof cover was exhausted, Duan Qing's perception, which was originally suppressed by the wild air, gradually returned to normal.

He tried to sense the water-proof cover above his head.

Sure enough!

Duan Qing's face changed slightly.

On the water-proof cover, he sensed the existence of the source air.

After being transformed by the source air, somehow, he could sense the source air like picking stars.

"What's wrong with Junior Brother?" Xue Wanyun noticed that Duan Qing's expression was different and asked with concern at the first time.

Duan Qing did not respond, but silently lowered his head to scan the situation inside the water-proof cover.

Gradually, Duan Qing frowned more tightly.

"Did Daoist Fellow Duan find anything?" Zuo Wanqiu, who was several feet away, could not help asking.

"Say something, you idiot!" Xue Wanyun was anxious and urged again.

Duan Qing retracted his gaze, sighed deeply, and finally said: "I'm afraid we can't leave this place in a short time!"

Everyone was shocked!

Among them, Mo Jian was the most anxious, and immediately asked Duan Qing: "What do you mean!"

Others also stared at Duan Qing anxiously, waiting for Duan Qing to continue.

Duan Qing did not explain directly, but looked at Zhaixing first. "Please ask Daoist Fellow Zhaixing to explain the matter of the source beast for everyone."

Zhaixing heard Duan Qing say this, and vaguely guessed that this incident might be related to the source beast. Without wasting time, he immediately explained the origin of the source beast to everyone, and briefly told Duan Qing about the encounter with the source beast.

After everyone listened to Zhaixing's explanation, they realized that the loss of their spiritual power was caused by the source beast.

Zhaixing finished speaking, Duan Qing took over and said: "The source beast chased me and Senior Sister Xue before, and although we killed it together, its body transformed by the source energy did not remain, but seeped into the ground!"

The source beast almost killed him before, and Duan Qing simply passed it over.

In order not to expose the illusion butterfly, he deliberately said that he and Xue Wanyun killed the source beast together.

After all, if he said that he killed the source beast alone, he would be too lazy to explain when everyone asked.

Saying that he and Xue Wanyun killed it together not only dispelled everyone's doubts, but also saved trouble.
