The Exiles Ultimately Died in the Oasis

The existence of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is not impossible.

This place has been closed off for tens of thousands of years, but it is extremely large.

It's possible that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast already existed here before it was buried by the sea of sand.

It's also possible that the Oasis exists because of the existence of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Qiangu Changkong slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no! Could it be that Chen Nan left us and went back to the Oasis?"

Even Super Douluo would need to be extremely cautious when facing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Chen Nan was only Soul Emperor; she couldn't possibly survive an attack from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

The group slumped to the ground, dejected.

Finding the Oasis was already a matter of life and death; who could have imagined that such a terrifying being lurked within Oasis?

Therefore, the so-called Oasis is also a scam.

The depraved Fallen there could not possibly survive amidst meticulously woven lies.

Wu Qi gazed into the distance, slightly lost in thought, and said, "Adventurers die on their journeys, while Exiles ultimately perish in the Oasis that bring life."

"This, perhaps, is the meaning of this experience."

It cannot be denied that there are Soul Saint, and even Soul Douluo- level powerhouses, in the Lost Land.

However, given Wu Qi's current strength, the danger of entering this place for training has been greatly reduced, and there is even no need for him to come here.

According to the Spirit Hall's plan, as a Soul Emperor, he should accumulate experience in maintaining order and governing the state in various branch halls, in preparation for entering the core decision-making level in the future.

Qian Daoliu still arranged for him to enter this place, and no one in the Worship Hall objected.

Indeed, Wu Qi grew up too fast, so much so that he never experienced setbacks in his life, and he couldn't understand many of life's truths.

This Lost Land has truly given Wu Qi a vivid life lesson.

"Wu Ge, what does this mean?"

The two were bewildered and helpless, Qiangu Changkong sat slumped in place.

Having overcome numerous difficulties, they finally arrived at the Oasis.

However, if they weren't Trialist, they would have needed to evacuate as soon as possible after completing the mission, thus inadvertently avoiding the risks.

If they were Exiles who came to this Oasis, would their fate be the same as Chen Nan's?

After overcoming numerous hardships and obstacles, how can anyone accept such an outcome?

Moreover, they also felt indignant on behalf of Chen Nan.

Why is it that someone who recognizes their mistakes and is willing to spend the rest of their life atoneing for them dies at the end of their journey, at the beginning of a new life?

That's not fair!

Wu Qi withdrew his gaze, steadied himself, and suddenly raised his head. "Perhaps, this is the reality of life."

Not all destinations are perfect. A lifelong pursuit may not bring us the life we desire.

"The road ahead is long, and some things will never have a result; some people will die at the end of their dreams."

Even if Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping cannot understand what they have seen and heard along the way at their current age, they will eventually come to understand it when they are older.

The three felt a pang of sadness at Chen Nan's death, but their strongest emotion was resentment.

But they don't have the power to change the rules of the game, so they can only silently endure it all.

Of course, Chen Nan's death was the outcome they had imagined.

After breaking away from them, Chen Nan will most likely return to the Oasis, but it's also possible she went somewhere else.

Whether she encountered such a terrifying being remains unknown.

Getting hung up on this kind of thing is just a way of escaping the truth.

Wu Qi shook his head inwardly, not interrupting their speculation.

As for the outcome, who cares? They can't go back anyway.

Oasis.

The terrifying being that appeared here was a Water-Congealing Xuanwu that was about to break through 100,000 years of cultivation.

The Lost Land were once very prosperous, with vast stretches of dense forests and swamps.

With that Divine Punishment, all of this was buried beneath the sea of sand.

Except for a few highly adaptable Soul Beast, most Soul Beast have become extinct.

This Water-Congealing Xuanwu should have been buried, but it was lucky enough to escape to this lake. The desert did not submerge this place, so it became its new home.

Today, its cultivation has reached the critical point of 100,000 years of cultivation, and it is just one step away from breaking through.

However, at this moment, its aura was no different from that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

As for why it suddenly appeared and unleashed such formidable power...

The reason is simple: when Chen Nan went to the lake to fetch water, he saw Hunter.

She was very unhappy with the latter's furtive behavior, so she raised her voice.

It is precisely because the Water-Congealing Xuanwu is on the verge of a breakthrough that it is in a state of mild dormancy.

Her shout startled Water-Congealing Xuanwu, which led to what happened next.

As for the truth, Wu Qi only guessed half of it correctly.

The terrifying pressure from Soul Beast with nearly 100,000 years of cultivation easily knocked Chen Nan unconscious.

Hunter watched this scene calmly from the side, and in Water-Congealing Xuanwu's view, his strength was unfathomable and he should not be offended.

Who are you?!

The Water-Congealing Xuanwu's lantern-sized eyes were fixed on Hunter.

The subtle pressure emanating from the other party made it unconsciously lower its proud head, and even feel an urge to worship.

Hunter stared at his hands with a strange expression. "I have two memories in my mind, one of which is about Hunter."

"But his memories are incomplete. He made a deal with an unknown entity, exchanging his life for the chance to avenge his family."

"Another part of my memories has shaped who I am today."

"I don't know who I am, but the word ' God of Destruction ' keeps telling me in my mind."

The next moment, the bewilderment on Hunter's face disappeared, replaced by a calm demeanor.

"We traveled together, after all. If she were killed, I wouldn't even be able to cherish those days."

"So, big turtle, you can't touch her."

How could the Water-Congealing Xuanwu dare disobey?

Hunter resembled a schizophrenic, but the fear it felt was not unfounded.

As Hunter carried Chen Nan away, Water-Congealing Xuanwu watched quietly, not daring to make the slightest move.

Only after the other party completely disappeared from sight did it feel as if it had been granted a pardon, and it hurriedly returned to the bottom of the lake.

On their way there, Wu Qi and his companions traveled westward, but on their return journey, they traveled eastward.

To their surprise, just one day later, another group of Exiles appeared near the trap set by the Viper Spirit Master.

These people drank the water from the lake and have already fainted.

Around them, numerous small crustaceans without any cultivation were constantly approaching, seemingly regarding them as food.

If this had happened before, Wu Qi and his companions might have taken pity on these people and lent them a helping hand.

But after learning that Oasis was a scam, they lost all enthusiasm.

Since the Oasis behind me is also "fake," I might as well die here and end it all.

After they die, these people may blame themselves for their bad luck in finding a false Oasis.

If they were to be killed in a real Oasis, their souls would likely find no peace.
