The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Temple of the Sun (2)

One could lose their bearings easily when they were at the chaotic Graveyard of the Sun at night. Every structure there was made of stones and rocks. There were also a large number of cracked boulders in the desert. After tens of millions of years exposed to the wind and rain, the stones had lost their original color. They looked as though they were patched with dull-colored dust as if the warriors’ blood had soaked the rocks during the battle in ancient times.

There was nothing else there, other than the many stones. Any skeletons left behind would have been turned to dust and drifted to every corner of the continent with the wind.

Shen Yanxiao moved with agility, and the Vermillion Bird hovered in the air. Ordinary people would find it difficult to walk on that land, but it had posed no difficulty to those two.

The Skeleton Flower was the size of one’s palm, so it would be hard to spot.

The night was a perfect time for thieves to act. Although Shen Yanxiao could clearly see everything in the dark, she could not find the Skeleton Flower that quickly in such an environment.

She decided that the two of them should split up and search for the flower by themselves.

Shen Yanxiao had been worried about any potential danger that might have lurked in the Graveyard of the Sun. Fortunately, she had not detected any other soul there, dead or alive.

She was not surprised. The Graveyard of the Sun was a former ancient battleground, so the forces of the elements would have been powerful there as well. No ordinary folks would dare to linger there.

Initially, the Temple of the Sun was where most forces of light elements in the entire Brilliance Continent would gather. However, during the infamous ancient battle, the demons had brought dark elements to the continent with their blood and souls. The incompatible elements had terrible consequences on the continent. Finally, both elements had intertwined in the Graveyard of the Sun. The chaotic forces there could easily tear the body of an average man.

When Shen Yanxiao was there, she used her magical power and battle aura to build a protective shield around herself so that she could walk around the area as she usually would.

The Graveyard of the Sun was strangely quiet under the veil of the night. One could not even hear the wind. Shen Yanxiao could only hear the faint sound of her breathing; it was as if she was the only living soul there.

The Vermilion Bird had vanished into a pile of rocks. The little Phoenix chirped happily when it left with him.

The silence that surrounded her felt dreadful.

They were not far away from each other, but Shen Yanxiao could no longer see her companions. The haunting elements in the area had caused chaos in the land. One’s vision and hearing would be significantly undermined there.

An ancient battleground was no place for fun. Otherwise, one would not regard it as a restricted area.

Shen Yanxiao decided to look for the Skeleton Flower as quickly as she could so that she could leave that disturbing place just as fast.

As she lifted and moved the huge boulders, Shen Yanxiao quickly browsed through every nook and cranny of the land that she passed.

“Xiu, can you feel the presence of the Skeleton Flower?” Shen Yanxiao asked.

“If it is close by, I will feel it.” Shen Yanxiao heard Xiu’s somewhat cold voice in her mind.

It was as tricky as to search for a needle in a haystack if one were to look for the Skeleton Flower with the naked eye. It would be a much easier mission if Xiu could detect the presence of the Skeleton Flower.
