Ghost Cry Gorge lay where two mountains met. It looked as though someone had cleaved straight down through their junction, cutting a path through to the other side.
But Jiang Wei told them that it had not been cleaved open-it had been blown open!
According to Jiang Wei, a cold, sinister wind had battered the mountains for hundreds of years, gradually carving out Ghost Cry Gorge.
Before this, Chen Miao had never imagined that wind could blow a fissure through two mountains.
He had always known that dripping water could wear through stone. Now he had witnessed the power of wind erosion as well.
Before they even reached Ghost Cry Gorge, Chen Miao and the other two felt a cold, sinister wind strong enough to stir their clothes.
They were still a hundred meters from the entrance to Ghost Cry Gorge. Farther ahead, the wind grew stronger.
Chen Miao had assumed Jiang Wei would give them something to shield them from the wind, as he had in the Shadow Cave.
But he did not.
Soon, Chen Miao learned why.

Kong Tian had been leaning forward to brace himself against the gale, and the sudden absence of wind actually made him stumble.
"Where did the wind go?"
Kong Tian looked around in confusion.
Jiang Wei smiled. "That gale only blows outside the entrance. Once you enter Ghost Cry Gorge, there's only a breeze."
"As for why, I don't know either."
"I heard some other Grave Keepers say it probably has something to do with the wind holes in Ghost Cry Gorge. I'll show you once we get farther inside."
Kong Yue stopped looking into Ghost Cry Gorge and turned to ask, "A breeze?
