CHAPTER 276: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 143 OASIS_2

The demon spirit also noticed Li Xiu and Shale in the city. With a flash of blood-red light in its eyes, it sprinted across the sand towards them.

"What do we do?" Shale looked at Li Xiu. He had killed many people, but had never fought a demon spirit before, so he was a bit lacking in confidence.

"Wait." Li Xiu said.

Shale had no choice but to stand with Li Xiu inside the fence, watching as the demon spirit charged towards them, and when it was five or six meters from the gate, it leaped forward, pouncing toward the Jedi Knight standing at the gate.

The Jedi Knight swiftly drew his sword, and although he didn’t use the Blood Light Slash, he cleaved the demon spirit in two with one strike.

Bang!

The remnants of the demon spirit fell onto the sand, with a Demon Core rolling out from its head.

Li Xiu noticed that the body of this demon spirit was hollow, just a shell on the outside.

"This demon spirit looks intimidating, but it’s actually pretty weak." Shale said, smiling, as he saw the Jedi Knight take it down with one blow.

"If you want to survive longer in the Land of Trial, it’s best not to underestimate any demon spirit. This was just an ordinary, low-level demon spirit, but its power is likely beyond yours. If you encountered it alone, you shouldn’t engage it head-on." Li Xiu said seriously.

His gaze turned toward the desert. With his experience in Black Death City, he knew that more demon spirits would soon appear.

But after waiting for a while, they didn’t hear the sound of the bell again.

"Strange, just one ordinary demon spirit?" Li Xiu felt a bit puzzled, as this was much less challenging than Black Death City.

"It seems like it’s not as dangerous as the legends say. Should we go out and hunt some demon spirits?" Shale said, a bit impatient.

"Let’s first search the oasis village." Li Xiu was not as optimistic as Shale.

Li Xiu let the Jedi Knight and the Divine Archer guard the gate, and summoned a Black Death Demon to scout ahead.

"You have more demon spirits?" Shale said, a bit envious.

"Having many demon spirits is useless; only those of high quality and level are valuable." Li Xiu replied.

"What level is this demon spirit?" Shale’s mood improved slightly upon hearing Li Xiu’s words.

"A Radiant Demon Spirit." Li Xiu casually said.

"..." Shale felt an urge to strangle Li Xiu.

The two followed behind the Black Death Demon, completing a search of the oasis village.

The oasis covered only a few acres of land, with a dozen or so dilapidated wooden houses. They quickly went around it but found nothing.

The wooden houses were in terrible condition, incomparable to Black Death City. Some even lacked doors, and there was nothing special inside, just some broken beds and chairs covered in thick dust.

They didn’t see any living people or traces of demon spirits, let alone mysterious Stone Coffins like those in the stone houses of Black Death City.

If it weren’t for the earlier demon spirit they killed, Li Xiu would have thought this was just an oasis abandoned by humans.

Even after searching for so long, there were no abnormal changes in the desert outside the gate, and no demon spirits appeared again.

Buzz!

While the two were puzzled, they suddenly heard a roaring sound from the sky, similar to the sound of an air conditioning unit.

Li Xiu quickly looked up at the sky, with the scorching sun causing some dizziness.

The roaring sound came from a direction in the sky. As Li Xiu focused, he saw a black object, like a black bird, flying toward the oasis from a distance.

"What kind of bird is that? Could it be a demon spirit? It’s flying quite high." Shale shaded his eyes with his hand, also looking at the bird.

"That bird probably isn’t small at all; it just looks small because it’s flying so high." Li Xiu continued with a serious expression, "And it might not be a bird."

"Of course, it’s not a bird. It’s a demon spirit. I meant that it’s a bird-shaped demon spirit." Shale corrected him.

"It might not even be a bird-shaped demon spirit." Li Xiu gazed at the shadow in the sky.

"No matter how I look at it, it looks like a bird." Shale said, unconvinced.

"Have you ever seen a bird make such a sound?" Li Xiu said with a peculiar expression, "And have you ever seen a bird that doesn’t flap its wings while flying?"

Upon hearing this, Shale was stunned. Indeed, he hadn’t seen the "bird" flap its wings; it seemed to be in a gliding state with its wings spread open.

It’s not unusual for birds to glide in the air, but it was weird that it had flown from the horizon nearly above the oasis without moving its wings. This configuration was indeed strange.

"If it’s not a bird, what is it? Could it be a plane?" Shale said casually.

"A plane?" Li Xiu was taken aback, looking again at the obscure shadow in the sky. With a peculiar expression, he said, "You know, the shape and the sound do resemble a plane..."

"Don’t make nonsense. How could there be a plane in the Land of Trial? Don’t assume I know nothing about the Land of Trial. I’ve heard Kun Sha mention some things about it. The Land of Trial is full of those demon spirits. Where would a technological thing like a plane come from..." Shale pouted.

As the two discussed, the shadow had already reached the sky over the oasis. It showed no intention of coming down and continued flying high above. Because it was so far, they could only see the shadow, which was about the size of a Yanzi, and couldn’t clearly discern what it was.

As both stared intently at it, they suddenly noticed several small dots appear in the sky after the shadow passed by.
