Chapter 141 - Qi Absorption

Jian and Song Yu have been walking for six hours in the desert. In between, they have stopped two times. Every time they rest and start walking again, the absorption of the Qi has increased. 

They were not able to do anything. As it was the tomb, so flying was impossible. So to search the wall, they had to walk continuously.

While walking, Jian had activated Star Gaze to see the formation which was absorbing their Qi. He was shocked to see that every time they rest, the speed of the absorption will increase.

So they were getting tired earlier. Jian had already explained to Song Yu about the absorption of the Qi, but he has not told her that it is a formation buried deep in the desert absorbing their Qi.

They were now resting; Jian knew that they would have stopped to rest again in an hour or two because the speed of the absorption kept increasing. 

"Song Yu, do you feel that the Qi is absorption is increasing."

"Yes, Master Jianyu, the walking time is decreasing. I felt it earlier, but I didn't inform you because I wanted to confirm it first. Since you have asked the same question means the speed of absorption is increasing."

Jian didn't expect Song Yu to find out about the absorption speed. It looks like she also paid attention to her surroundings when she was walking. 

Now they had to form a plan on how to move forward. Otherwise, they spend their time is walking and resting. 

Jian told Song Yu that they needed to satisfy the desert to stop absorbing our Qi. He thought when the desert stopped absorbing the Qi; then the wall would appear. 

Song Yu also thought about it and agreed with him. So first, they took a spirit stone and put it on the ground. Jian also activated Star Gaze to see any reaction. 

But nothing happened. Jian immediately knew that the formation was only absorbing Qi from the cultivators, not the spirit stones. So their plan failed. 

Jian then thought if the formation is only absorbing from the living things, it may absorb the Qi from The beasts. 

So took out a beast's carcass and put it on the ground, but there was no response. Meaning the formation was not absorbing the Qi from the beasts. 

Jian didn't pick up the carcass and set it aside with Song Yu to think about the solution. Time passed, as they knew that as long as they didn't move there, I would not be absorbed, so without a plan, they stopped walking. 

It has been half an hour. They were sitting five meters away from the beast's carcass,s which Jian had thrown away as they were discussing several things. 

They suddenly heard a roar. Both immediately took out weapons and got ready to fight. Then it suddenly hit them that they had walked for a long time, but they didn't find any beasts lurking around. 

Jian also didn't know how to hear a beast roar when he had continuously checked with Star Gaze and could not find anything. He also didn't know where the beast was coming from. 

They both kept looking here and there, and Jian didn't activate Star Gaze due to hurriedly responding to the beast's roar.

A few minutes passed, and the ground understood the carcass started to shake. Jian and Song Yu's attention was brought to it. They both frowned, and Jian immediately realised that he had not activated the Star Gaze, so he started it.

As he activated,d information appeared in his mind. 

Name: Desert Shark

Cultivation: Three Stars

Jian was shocked reading the information; he immediately focused on seeing the beasts. The beast is ten meters long. He was shocked to see the shark this big and in the desert. He told Song Yu to be careful. 

The desert shark flew out from where the carcass was kept and devoured it in one bit. After they immediately rushed towards Jian and Song Yu. 

Song Yu was able to feel the pressure coming out of the shark. She didn't expect that they would encounter a three-star beast equivalent to a Core Formation Realm expert.

She couldn't move because of the shock. So Jian stood in front of her and protected them from the shark's attack. After defending the first attack, Jian didn't stop and immediately executed the basic Saber technique, which he had learned and immense chopped off the shark's head.

The blood spilt everywhere. Jian's Song Yu's robe was covered in blood, and she was brought back from the shock. But this time, it was Jian who left her speechless. She didn't expect him to handle a three-star beast this easily. 

After it was killed, Jian took the core and found out that the beast had Earth element affinity and kept it aside. Song Yu went away to change her robe and was back in a few minutes. 

As they were cleaning themselves, no one paid attention to the shark's body because it had started to disintegrate. After cleaning everything, when Jian returned to harvest the beast, he was shocked to find that only bones remained.

He immediately activated Star Gaze and looked at the formation. He discovered that the beast's blood, which contained Qi, was heading towards the building and absorbed it.

He immediately knew that as long as they killed the beasts from the desert, they would satisfy the formation and not absorb their Qi. He called Song Yu and showed her the bone of the desert shark, and explained the situation to them.

She also came up with the same hypothesis, and they started spreading the carcass of the beasts in Jian's inventory to attract them. 

As they expected, the beasts started to immerge from the ground near the carcasses. Song Yu will distract them, and Jian will hunt them. They continued this for two hours straight, and they had tracked more than twenty-five beasts. 

All of them were equivalent to early Core Formation Realm experts, but after completing nine cycles of the cultivation technique, Jian handled them.

They were shocked to see every bit of flesh was absorbed by the desert. Jian had activated Star Gaze, so he was able to see it being absorbed by the formation.

In only a few minutes, the formation had absorbed all of it and went back to normal. Jian sighed when he saw that the building needed more Qi to be satisfied. But he was also out of carcasses. 

Every beast he had hunted has been used. He only had beasts cores. But one thing kept coming to his mind, and that was that all beasts that they have hunted have Earth element affinity. 

He knew something up with it. Although in the desert earth element affinity beasts are more, they had hunted more than twenty-five beasts, and all had Earth affinity. 

While he was thinking, he ignored the formation because It had lit up and was moving towards Jian and Song Yu. 

In a few seconds, it was only ten meters away from them, so both felt the ground shake. Jian immediately looked down with the Star Gaze and saw the formation heading towards them.

He immediately took Song Yu and rushed out of the range of the formation. He thought the construction was going to devour them. But when the building came out, it was in the form of a wall.

Song Yu was the first to notice it, and she immediately told Jian to look. Jian checked it with Star Gaze and found it was similar to the walls they got their trial.

He sighed a relief because finally, they were able to find the wall. They stopped in the track and waited for the wall to emerge ultimately and the ground to stabilise.

He didn't expect that the formation was the wall which they were searching. Otherwise, he would have tried to access it.

While he was thinking, the system interrupted. 

"Host, it impossible to access the formation. Only enough amount of the Qi can satisfy it to emerge from the ground."

Jian had not expected the system to interrupt his thoughts and explained to him. He also knew that it was impossible, but he was thinking about it.

He looked at Song Yu and saw a relieved expression. He knew that she was also getting exhausted from continuously walking and resting. So after seeing the wall emerge, she sighed a relief. 

It took ten minutes for the wall to emerge ultimately. After that, the ground stabilised. After that, they started to hear many different roars of the beasts. 

At first, they thought that the beasts were heading towards the wall, but in a few minutes, all noises disappeared. Everything went back to tranquillity. 

Jian and Song Yu looked at each other and nodded. Then they started to move towards the wall. In a few seconds, they were standing in front of it. As they stood in front of it, the wall began to shine.. They immediately knew that their trial of the second part of the tomb was here.
