Chapter 302: Chapter 205: It’s Raining in the Yellow Sand World (Seeking monthly ticket)_2

"I must go back and prepare as well."

The Golden Winged Peng Demon hurriedly spoke.

Watching the two Demon Saints leave, the Lion Camel Supreme Saint snorted coldly, aware that when it came to their own safety, these old demons would become selfish and would hardly take risks lightly.

After all, they had not truly experienced the terror of that Human Clan Qi Blood Saint.

"If you all aren’t worried, then why should I be? At most, I’ll just stay away from that Human Clan Qi Blood Saint in the future."

With a wave of his hand, the Lion Camel Supreme Saint brought down the door of the Beast Swallowing Hall with a bang, completely sealing off the Great Hall. Dense and intricate patterns of strange light appeared on the walls around it.

Soon, he closed his eyes to heal the injuries on his demon body.

...

Chen Bell Platform.

The clear and melodious sound of the bell resonated, spreading throughout the entire Divine Sword Sect.

In the underground palace.

Li Qian looked at the system interface, where the words "Return to Void" flickered uncertainly.

Then, he closed his eyes and entered the Void State.

Yellow Sand World.

Li Qian opened his eyes.

Today, surprisingly, it was not a scorching sun.

Instead, the sky was overcast and very stuffy.

"Eh, could it be going to rain?"

Li Qian was amazed.

Having entered the Yellow Sand World so many times, he had either encountered cold nights or hot days. He had never experienced rain.

Of course, that was mainly because the number of times was too few.

Even in reality, it could be possible not to rain for several months, much less in the ever-rolling sands of the desert?

Li Qian hurriedly looked toward the location of the monster corpse, which had hardly any traces left.

It had been buried even deeper.

Li Qian quickly set to work, starting to excavate the monster corpse.

Without the scorching sun, though the heat was still oppressive, it was no longer as unbearable.

After a long while, sweating profusely, Li Qian finally uncovered a part of the monster’s corpse.

Without tools, and with the shifting sands making it difficult to dig by hand alone, the efficiency was very low.

Having dug for so long, Li Qian was both hungry and thirsty... so he hurriedly tore and bit into the dry corpse.

"So hard."

Li Qian almost broke his teeth.

He suddenly looked at the huge claw that was as sharp as a blade.

If he could break off one of the claw blades, it would make a sharp weapon.

But despite trying, though the claw was severely broken, fully snapping it off was very difficult.

He could hardly tear off the dry flesh, let alone the claws connected by tendons and bones.

Perhaps after a long time of exposure to the sun and freezing... maybe the connecting tendons and bones would become fragile, but that would most likely take a very long time.

After eating a bit of the dry meat, Li Qian’s teeth hurt, but what hurt even more was his stomach, which felt like it was on fire.

However, this dry meat was very effective; as it digested in his stomach, his strength quickly recovered.

The sky gradually darkened.

It was about to get dark.

However, Li Qian felt that there were more clouds in the sky, as if a storm was approaching.

"It’s not going to rain at night, is it?"

Li Qian pondered inwardly.

Nights were already cold enough; if it rained, that would be troublesome.

At least it was a bit better in the afternoon, when the temperature was higher.

As night fell, the temperature plummeted.

Li Qian quickly hid inside the monster’s carcass.

Shivering, he endured the cold... eating dry meat from time to time, using the cramping pain in his stomach to alleviate the torment of the cold from outside.

In the middle of the night, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.

"It’s really going to rain."

Li Qian curled up his body, feeling the chill wind blow in, taking away the heat from his body.

He could only keep biting into the dry meat, trying to keep his body moving.

Suddenly, it rained.

A torrential downpour.

The rain hammered down fiercely.

Li Qian tried to catch some water with his hand, then put it in his mouth... In an instant, he felt a burning pain from his mouth to his throat and down to his stomach.

It was as if what he drank was not water, but sulfuric acid.

"What kind of rain is this?"

Li Qian trembled all over in pain, emitting a gut-wrenching low roar...

But strangely enough... amid the intense pain, he could no longer feel the cold, instead feeling as if his whole body was burning up, unbearably hot.

"I haven’t completely lost body heat, have I?"

Li Qian retained a sliver of consciousness.

He knew that severe hypothermia could induce hallucinations, making one feel hot and take off their clothes... That’s why many who die of cold are found without clothing, having undressed in a haze.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but the pain in Li Qian’s body had lessened significantly, yet what followed was an all-encompassing chill.

"Could drinking water warm my body up?"

Li Qian let out a breath, contemplating inwardly.

But the thought of the excruciating pain after drinking water sent shivers down his spine.

He dared not drink any more water.

The heavy rain continued outside.

After a long while, in a drowsy state, Li Qian noticed that the rain had stopped.

However, he was shivering with cold and could only continue to eat dried meat to maintain bodily energy, trying his best not to freeze to death...

As a ray of light tore through the darkness and hit Li Qian’s eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had finally survived the hardest night.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes...

When he regained consciousness, he was already back in the underground palace.

Sss!

Li Qian suddenly curled up, his face etched with pain. In his abdomen, an unprecedented high-level energy raged.

If the energy he brought back from the Yellow Sand World before was like a thread, then... now, this energy was like dozens of threads, or perhaps even more.

"Could it be because I drank water from that world?"

Amidst the severe pain, Li Qian’s thoughts were incredibly clear.

The bell had rung countless times; he couldn’t remember how many.

All he knew was that he had endured days of torture... even more torturous than his time in the Yellow Sand World.

If his consciousness wasn’t so clear, he wished he could have fainted...

Time passed, and eventually, Li Qian regained his senses.

He lay on the ground, staring at the ceiling of the underground palace for a long time before he slowly got up.

"I didn’t expect the water from that world to be so effective."

Li Qian sighed.

He checked the information on the system interface.

The Dimension Upgrade Progress had risen from three percent to five percent.

That is to say, the progress had increased by two full points.

And all this was from drinking just one mouthful of water.

"It must be because my stomach could absorb the water quickly... The flesh of that corpse must be harder to digest."

A thought occurred to Li Qian.

It wasn’t possible that the water contained more energy.

"What a pity, I should have drunk more. Then the energy absorbed would be even greater, right?"

Li Qian sighed again.

Of course, if he was to drink a second mouthful, he didn’t have the courage to do so.

Although he believed his endurance was strong enough to withstand so much pain, he was almost tortured to death by that drink of water.

And after the Return to Void ended, the pain persisted even longer.

"Never mind, let’s take it slow. There’s no need to achieve everything in one step, it’s too painful."

Li Qian shook his head.

The benefits brought by this Return to Void were more than all the previous times combined... but he absolutely did not want to experience it a second time.

"Dimension Upgrade Progress five percent... Training speed, comprehension, and Attack Boost all reached over five hundred percent. I wonder if I can now take on the Lion Camel Supreme Saint?"

Li Qian thought to himself.

But he felt it was still not enough.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t take on the Lion Camel Supreme Saint, but that he couldn’t create an overwhelming advantage.

He didn’t quite like even matches or fighting above his level.

What he liked the most was an overwhelming situation.

The past several times, by putting himself in danger, were all too reckless in hindsight.

Fortunately, luck was on his side, and he escaped unscathed.

But what about next time?

Thus, he made a profound reflection in his heart, determined not to let there be a next time.

The dangerous missions from the Dao Sect, he would put them off as much as possible.

After all, when he took on the role of Supreme Elder, he never promised to definitely take action.

"Right, the last time at Heimeng Mountain, I killed so many Demon Clan Great Saints and Demon Saints... The Dao Sect hasn’t distributed the spoils of war to me yet."

Li Qian suddenly remembered something.

Although he was pursued by the Lion Camel Supreme Saint afterward... those spoils of war must still be there.

After all, Saint Zhou Yan held off the Lion Camel Supreme Saint, and then the Lion Camel Supreme Saint chased after him, the other Great Saints and Martial Saints from the Dao Sect were basically safe.

So Li Qian decided to make a trip to the Dao Sect to retrieve his share of the spoils of war.

In addition, he wanted to find out how the mission to clear out Heimeng Mountain was leaked.
