Chapter 852: Chapter 553: Sudden Upheaval, Powerful Wind Beasts, Departures All Around

"It’s not good, it’s a Wind Beast!"

Upon hearing the beast’s roar from afar, the armored man’s complexion slightly changed.

"How come as soon as we entered Gale Plain, Wind Beasts appeared? Normally, don’t they hide in the depths of the plain?"

The middle-aged man beside the armored man also looked uneasy.

The route they chose had been meticulously selected.

According to the usual path, one could generally avoid most Wind Beast nests.

But this time, how come Wind Beasts appeared so quickly nearby?

The armored man and others felt a bit uneasy.

The abnormal appearance of Wind Beasts made them feel that Gale Plain might have undergone some mysterious changes they were unaware of.

But now, even if they wanted to turn back, it was too late.

The caravan’s speed was slow, and with the speed of Wind Beasts, catching up with them would be easy.

As the surrounding gales continued to rage more intensely, and the dust and sand grew thicker, they could hardly see what was ahead.

The armored man had no choice but to grit his teeth and summon a lamp-shaped Magical Treasure.

In the next moment, powerful might surged from the Magical Treasure, and a light shield emanated out, enveloping the entire caravan.

This light shield not only had strong defensive power but also could dispel the sand and dust.

Making the people who were almost toppled by the gales, and the almost flying carriages, suddenly stabilize.

"Everyone, be aware, there might be a Wind Beast attack soon. Prepare your defenses individually.

Also, make sure not to leave the range of the Wind Stabilizing Lamp’s light, otherwise, if you get lost, we won’t risk rescuing you!"

Because the wind was so loud, the armored man shouted directly through Divine Soul Transmission.

"This Great Han is quite responsible."

Sitting in the corner of the carriage, Lu Qing’s eyes showed unusual interest upon hearing the armored man’s words.

Although the trailing small caravans all paid protection fees to the Transportation Merchant.

But given the current situation, it was evidently quite critical.

The armored man was willing to deplete his mana to summon the Magical Treasure to protect everyone, which showed considerable responsibility.

"However, the current situation is clearly somewhat unfavorable."

Lu Qing slightly sensed the surroundings and shook his head with concern.

His cultivation was far greater than anyone here.

He had long noticed what the situation ahead was.

"Has the young friend discovered anything wrong?"

At this moment, a voice sounded next to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing slightly paused, thinking to himself what an old fox, truly unable to relax.

Seeing that the other people in the carriage also looked over.

Lu Qing showed an embarrassed look: "The old man jokes, I am just worried, the Celestial Gale of Gale Continent is truly formidable, I wonder if we can safely make it through."

"So the young friend is concerned about this." Old Joe smiled, "Young friend can rest assured, the Transportation Merchant often traverses Gale Plain, with rich experience.

Otherwise, these small caravans wouldn’t willingly pay large amounts of Spirit Stone to ask for their guidance."

"Hmph, coward!" The thin young man suddenly sneered disdainfully, "Just a small Gale Valley, what’s there to fear!

If you’re afraid, before we’ve fully ventured in, I advise you to quickly turn back!"

"No need to worry, fellow traveler, I also followed the Transportation Merchant last time, traversing Gale Plain, and it was completely safe, nothing happened."

At this time, a woman in red clothing also laughed.

"So that’s how it is, then I can be at ease." Lu Qing said, looking "embarrassed".

"Since the Transportation Merchant can conduct business frequently on Gale Plain, they naturally have exceptional qualities; there’s no need for everyone to worry..."

However, before the red-clothed woman could finish her words, her speech was cut off by a terrifying scream.

The scream was extremely shrill, as if encountering something incredibly horrifying.

Soon after, a flurry of chaotic cries came from outside.

"What happened?"

The people in the carriage were shocked and quickly jumped out.

Just as they reached outside, they saw a shocking scene.

In the rear caravan, a guard from one of the small caravans, with Foundation Building Great Success cultivation.

Was being clawed by some monster, the lower half of his body had vanished, only the upper half remained in the monster’s mouth, struggling and screaming desperately.

The location of the guard was already outside the range of the light shield.

The guard kept screaming, but no matter how he struggled, it was to no avail; his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation was utterly useless.

In a blink, he was swallowed whole by the monster, and the scream abruptly ceased.

At this moment, a long spear flew in, piercing into the monster’s forehead.

A monstrous scream was heard, and it transformed into a whirlwind of yellow sand and fled rapidly.

Only the Magical Treasure long spear remained at that spot.

"It’s a Wind Beast!"

Old Joe witnessed this scene, his expression became somewhat serious.

He had sensed that something seemed off with this journey, and now it had indeed come true.

As for the red-clothed woman, her face looked terrible.

She had just said how safe it was following the Transportation Merchant, and in the next moment, someone miserably died in the mouth of a Wind Beast.

This was clearly a slap in her face.

"So this is a Wind Beast?" Lu Qing’s heart stirred.

Although that monster devoured living creatures just now, it was able to merge into a sand whirlwind and escape.

And it seemed to blend with the surrounding gale, concealing its own aura.

This was also why the Golden Core Realm experts in the carriage did not sense its presence in advance.
