Chapter 815: Still and Quiet Demon Island

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly . "I'm afraid you're right . I have not sensed any life source from the plants around here . "



Where they landed was a piece of land that was relatively flat . The pitch black forest was not far away from them . Tang Wulin walked quickly toward it . When he pressed his palm against a large tree, it was cold to the touch . Putting aside the fact that there was no life source that came from it, a dense feeling of deathly stillness arose instantly from it . If it were not for Tang Wulin's extremely strong life source and blood essence, his body would have certainly suffered some damage being tainted with this death aura .

"These trees aren't real, it's as if they were all carbonized . They're as tough as metallic rocks, but they don't have an ounce of life source within them," Tang Wulin's brows were tightly knitted .

If there were no origin energy, there was no point for them to cultivate here . The others gathered around Tang Wulin .

Xu Xiaoyan posed a question, "Captain, without origin energy, other than affecting our soul powers, will it affect our life energy as well? Or should I say, will it affect our blood essence power?"

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly, "It will . Everything relies on origin energy to survive, there's no doubting this point . Water and sunlight are the sources of life . The energies they possess are nourishment to the life force . In a place where there is no life force, our own life source will be constantly depleted . It won't affect us much in the short term, but if this goes on, I'm afraid we'll turn into dried carcasses here, or maybe we'll be carbonized like the plants here . "

When Tang Wulin said this, everyone's expression changed .

"Than what should we do?" Xie Xie asked, slightly fidgety .

Tang Wulin drew a deep breath . "Since the academy sent us to do our military training here, they certainly wouldn't send us here to die . Besides, we still have no idea where our military training is actually at . From the view above, this archipelago is completely black, even the seas around it are black . However, beyond three hundred meters, the seas return to their normal colors . I can infer from this that we should be able to sense origin energy around the normal-colored seas . In other words, we can try to absorb some origin energy from the normal seas to restore ourselves when the time comes .



Ye Xinglan smiled . "You always manage to be so calm . I think the situation is like what you just said . "

Tang Wulin returned the smile . "I'm actually worried as well, but there's no point in me worrying about this . I still need to face it . Alright, since we can't absorb origin energy to restore ourselves, we'll first make for the beach . After all, we arrived within the stipulated time frame . The first obstacle, Golden Path should be over . We'll go have a look at the beach first, and then Zhengyu and Yuanen can fly out to see if my judgment was right or wrong . "

All this was due to the inexplicable pressure the pitch black island gave them . For the moment, they were still unable to get to the bottom of the situation . It was undoubtedly very important for them to find a way out of the current situation . That was why Tang Wulin was in no hurry to scout the island .

They landed on the fringes of the island . After they had gotten hold of their bearings, they did not have to walk far to where they could already see the ocean .

It was two starkly contrasting feelings to look at the black seas from the skies and from the ground . It was even more shocking for them since they were the ones actually experiencing the situation . The waves rippled and broke against the shore . The seawater which was pitch black as ink appeared like a terrifying deep abyss . It seemed to be able to swallow a person whole at any moment .

Tang Wulin unleashed one Bluesilver Emperor and sent it into the sea .

The Bluesilver Emperor had just touched the surface of the water when Tang Wulin suddenly felt his body shook . Shortly after, a terrifying suction force came from the sea . The stamina and blood essence power within Tang Wulin immediately surged out of his body like a swarm of bees along this Bluesilver Emperor .

He quickly lifted the Bluesilver Emperor out of the water . However, within this short span of time, the Bluesilver Emperor's tip had already turned greyish-white .




"Whatever you do, don't come into contact with this seawater . The seawater will consume all of your origin energy . Once you come into contact with it, it'll accelerate the depletion of your origin energy . "

Tang Wulin felt very fortunate that they did not drop directly into this black seawater just now . If that were the case, once they touched the water, their depletion would have increased multiple-fold .

Yuanen Yehui said, "We'll go check it out . "

Tang Wulin nodded, "Be careful . Turn back immediately the moment you feel something's off . "

"Hmm!" Yuanen Yehui nodded . The Fallen Angel's wings were unleashed behind her . She flapped lightly and flew into the skies . Then, she slowly hovered over the patch of black seawater .

She was in midair above the sea's surface when the black mist suddenly appeared faintly on her body . Yuanen Yehui hastily flapped her wings and flew to a higher altitude . Only then did the black mist on her body dissipate somewhat . Then, she flew further away .

She traversed the distance of three hundred meters rather quickly . Between islands, other than the black seawater, some patches of clear seas still existed due to the large distances between the islands . Yuanen Yehui finally flew out of the three hundred-meter range . However, in that instant, her figure suddenly disappeared .

"She disappeared? Yuanen!" Xie Xie was greatly worried . He called out her name with anxious tones .

Tang Wulin grabbed him, "Don't panic . Let's wait and see . "

How could Xie Xie not panic? He was about to say something when a shadow moved swiftly and Yuanen Yehui reappeared far away . Then, she flapped her wings strongly and shot back toward her companions like an arrow . She landed lightly .

It was only then that Xie Xie heaved a sigh of relief . He quickly walked up to her . "Yuanen, are you hurt?"

"I'm not . " Yuanen shook her head . "The situation is more or less like what our captain inferred . As expected, there is origin energy once I flew out of the three hundred-meter range and enter the area of the normal seas . However, there are extremely ferocious oceanic soul beasts in the normal seas . I felt like I was in a trance as if I had exited this world, then I saw a huge bloody mouth which opened toward me . Its aura was very strong . After that, I came back as quickly as I could . It's strange . That oceanic soul beast was extremely powerful, but it dared not come into contact with the black sea on this side . Nonetheless, if we want to go out, it won't be easy as well . "

Tang Wulin had a slight frown . "Do you guys have the feeling that this place resembles a prisoner's cage as if it's imprisoning something?"

There was no origin energy on the inside while there were ferocious oceanic soul beasts on the outside . From Yuanen Yehui's reconnaissance just now, they could surmise that this island seemed to be located within some barrier .

"Yeah, it does . " Yue Zhengyu nodded, "In any case, I don't feel too comfortable here . I reckon that you guys feel the same . There's no origin energy here, and everything's filled with a dead stillness . It's truly uncomfortable! Why don't we go take a look further on the island?"

Tang Wulin shook his head . "There's no hurry . The dangers outside are mainly from the oceanic soul beasts . Usually, oceanic soul beasts can't leave the ocean . We'll have to look for a way out first . Yuanen, can you try again? Fly out from a greater height this time, and see if you're attacked by the oceanic soul beast again . "

"Okay!" Yuanen Yehui agreed . She flapped her wings and flew to a greater height in the skies . However, she had not even started to fly out toward the black sea when, all of a sudden, her body which had just reached a height of a hundred meters fell . Although she beat her wings desperately, she only managed to stabilize herself once she reached a height of fifty meters .

"Flight prohibition!" Yuanen Yehui exclaimed with fright . "There seems to be an invisible barrier up there . I only flew up to around a hundred meters when I felt as if I was swatted by someone . Thank goodness my reflexes were quick enough . "

Prisoner's cage! These two words appeared in the minds of everyone again . Only these two words could aptly describe their current predicament .

They could not rise into the skies nor go out over the sea . They could come in, but they could not get out . Furthermore, they are running low on origin energy . If that were the case, would waiting for their demise be the only option?

Tang Wulin made a decision . "Let's go . We'll go further into the island and have a look . " He firmly believed in one thing from the beginning until the end . Since the academy sent them here for their military training, the academy must have its aim and reasons . It would be irrational for the academy to just put them in a prisoner's cage for no reason at all .
