By the time she returned to the edge of the fog, Huang Ying and the other two had already woken up. They were circling around, as if searching for her whereabouts.

Gold was the first to notice her, riding the yellow-furred lion as he ran over.

"What just happened?" He remembered hearing a voice in the mist that sounded like a child's cry, and then he had no memory of it.

Zi Linng raised her head and looked at the gold on the Golden-furred Lion's body. "You were controlled by a Level 4 Devil Beast."

"No way!" Gold had his mouth wide open, looking like he had just gone through hell's gates.

Very quickly, Huang Ying and Zhao Ting also noticed Gold and Zi Linng and rushed over.

Zi Linng told the two of them what just happened.

"Master said that the Trial Stele is filled with dangers, but I don't believe it. Now that I believe it, I wonder how the other disciples are doing?" As the head senior brother of the Divine Profound Sect, Zhao Ting had the entire sect in her heart, so it was natural that he would be worried about the safety of the others.

Huang Ying turned her head to look at the endless fog, "If it wasn't for Ye Linn leading the way, it wouldn't have been easy for us to walk out of this fog."

"And this is only the outer area of the Trial Stele, you can imagine how dangerous it is inside." Zhao Ting turned his head back to look at the depths of the stone forest and for a moment, everyone had fallen silent.

"Cousin, what should we do?" The gold jumped down from the Golden-furred Lion's body.

However, Zhao Ting and Huang Ying's eyes were fixed on Zi Linng.

"Don't look at me. I was only able to bring you out of that mist due to some strange reason." She did not lie when she said that. The faint echo in her head had already disappeared. She had sensed it carefully a few times, but she had not been able to find it.

"However …" Zi Linng swept her gaze across the three of them, "Those Devil Beast s just now were good at controlling their consciousness, that's why you guys were tricked. If you don't meet those Devil Beast s, you guys still have a good chance of winning."

After all, Zhao Ting and Huang Ying were elite disciples of the Divine Profound Sect.

"Then I am relieved." "Heh." Gold took a deep breath and laughed out loud, "Like I said, if we had to test these Devil Beast, who knows when they will kill us. What are we still training for? Aren't we all here to die?"

With these words from Zi Linng, Huang Ying and Zhao Ting became visibly more relaxed.

"Kid, if you don't cultivate properly, aren't you here to throw away your life?" Gold took another hit for no reason. Fortunately for him, it was a natural habit. He let out a cry and then continued smiling.

Zhao Ting took two steps towards Zi Linng, "Huang Ying and I took a stroll around, and discovered that the stone forest was surprisingly vast, and it was easy to get lost."

Zi Linng nodded her head. Zhao Ting was right, if not for the fact that her Spiritual Sense s were powerful, she would have been lost in the stone forest with an almost identical appearance.

"I think we might as well stop and wait and see if any of our fellow disciples are able to walk out of the fog." Zhao Ting suggested.

In her heart, Zi Linng would never agree to such a suggestion. She had come here to gain experience, with a large group of people together, and if they were in danger together, it was simply impossible for them to train themselves. If not for Gold, Huang Ying, she would have gone on her way by herself long ago.

"What are you talking about?" After Huang Ying finished packing the gold, the two of them walked over together.

Zhao Ting told Huang Ying his suggestion, and Huang Ying also nodded in agreement. However, their gazes all landed on Zi Linng, as if asking for her opinion.

Zi Linng's gaze swept across the three of them. She understood the meaning of their gazes. She had to wait for the Shadowfiend to come back anyway, so she nodded, "Wait one day, if no one comes out, we will set out on our journey."

The sky was darkening, and the wind was blowing through the stone forest with a strong whine.

Zhao Ting looked up into the sky, "We need to find a place to stay for the night."

"There are stones everywhere. Where can I go? I think we should find a rock to hide from the wind here for the night. " Huang Ying looked left and right, but she couldn't find a better place.

Following their discussion, the sky became thicker like ink and the temperature became colder and colder. The wind blew from the narrow valley and cut him like a knife.

"I'm afraid we have to find a place to hide." Zi Linng felt that the surrounding environment was changing extremely quickly.

Before she could finish her sentence, Gold cried out, "Ouch! It hurts!"

The few of them immediately hid behind a large rock. Zi Linng secretly used her spirit energy to resist the cold wind.

As time passed, the climate of the stone forest became increasingly strange.

"I can't go on like this. I find that the sky is getting darker, the colder it is, and the stronger the wind is." Huang Ying released the Profound Strength to dissolve the cold, but her voice could not help but tremble a little.

As Huang Ying was speaking, Zi Linng's gaze swept across the nearby mountain peaks in succession, and quickly landed on a mountain in the distance.

"Over there." She pointed upwards and took the lead to leave. Huang Ying and the other two followed behind her without hesitation.

Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. Stepping on the rugged and uneven mountain rocks, enduring the pain of the cold wind cutting at their faces, they finally arrived outside a cave under Zi Linng's lead.

"Let's go in." Zi Linng turned her head and looked at the three of them. Seeing that no one had left the team, she turned and entered the cave.

"Comfortable …" A wave of hot air blew over, instantly dissolving the frost condensed on their eyebrows.

Gold hopped to his feet and swatted away the frost on his body. "If we were just a quarter of an hour late, we'd all be frozen into ice pops."

Huang Ying rubbed her hands together, and sized up the cave: "This place is truly filled with dangers."

Zi Linng, who was walking at the front, did not make a sound when she heard this. She also started to feel that the disciples of Divine Profound Sect were most likely not going to have a good time. Aside from her, the other three people present were the most outstanding disciples in Divine Profound Sect. However, in the face of such a strange environment and the threat from the Devil Beast, they did not have much experience. There was no need to even mention the rest of the group.

"Did you notice? The deeper we go, the warmer it becomes. Furthermore, the profound energy within our body is moving uncontrollably. " Zhao Ting was the first to discover that this cave was not normal.

"I also feel that something is wrong when you say this." Huang Ying immediately said.

"Something's wrong …" Zhao Ting closed his eyes to carefully feel the surroundings. Suddenly, the legs sat on the ground and said, "Quickly, carefully feel it."

After Huang Ying heard this, she immediately sat cross-legged like Zhao Ting.

Not long after, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, but they were not alarmed as they had imagined, but they were pleasantly surprised, "Cultivating here, the Profound Strength's refining speed is at least three times faster than outside."

"Really?" The previously motionless Gold sat down cross-legged like Huang Ying and Zhao Ting, carefully feeling their movements.

Thus, the three of them quickly entered a state of cultivation. Zi Linng stood there without moving. When Huang Ying had said that this place was beneficial to cultivation, she had already secretly channeled her spirit energy, but it did not increase at all.

It seemed that this place was only good for them. She glanced at the three of them, then looked at the relatively small cave. After realizing that there was no danger, she walked towards the cave entrance.

Outside the cave, it was dark and gloomy. A cold wind howled past. The cave entrance seemed to have a transparent barrier that blocked everything outside. She stood in front of the cave entrance and looked out at the pitch-black world. It was as if she had returned to the past. Back in that cruel world, she had experienced countless life and death experiences in order to survive and cultivate …

A night passed quickly, and Huang Ying comfortably stretched out her hands. She discovered that her body was brimming with Profound Spirit Qi, and faintly showed signs of achieving the perfection of the Profound Cultivator s.

Zhao Ting and Gold woke up one after another, all of them revealing satisfied and happy expressions.

"Cousin, looks like you've gained quite a bit." Huang Ying smiled in his heart.

Zhao Ting laughed, "If I stay here, I might be able to break through to Profound Master soon."

Huang Ying nodded, this was simply a precious cultivation ground. She suddenly thought of Zi Linng and turned her head to look, only to discover that there was an extremely beautiful figure sitting at the entrance of the cave.

Zhao Ting's expression became sluggish for a moment, even the normally carefree gold stared at him.

At this time, that peerlessly beautiful face, which was as clear as autumn water, opened its eyes, and its gaze fell upon the three of them.

"The temperature outside has risen and the wind has stopped." Zi Linng said as she slowly stood up from the ground.

Only then did the three of them cast their gazes outside. The sunlight was abundant, making them look lazy. It was as if the biting cold last night was just an illusion.

Gold was the first to run out of the cave. "The wind has stopped, it's so warm!" He said loudly to the others.

Zhao Ting and Huang Ying walked over to Zi Linng's side and looked towards the fog. That piece of land and land was still covered by the thick black fog s, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

"No one came out." Huang Ying stated a fact.

Of course not! Zi Linng answered in her heart. If not for that mysterious voice, she might not have been able to walk out of this fog.

"Then what should we do? Do we continue to wait or leave? " Gold asked.

"It's only halfway through. We'll see what happens tomorrow." After Zhao Ting finished, he looked at Zi Linng and asked, "How was Junior Sister's harvest last night?" After last night's cultivation, Zhao Ting felt that this place was actually a good place. Their purpose in coming here was to increase their cultivation. Now that they had achieved their goal, he did not want to leave immediately.

"Right, I have always been curious about your current level. is probably not below Profound Master? " This had always been the answer that Huang Ying had been guessing in her heart. Otherwise, how could the other party have easily left through the Qingfeng Town?

Zi Linng smiled, and did not reply.

At this moment, a group of black fog s came from the sky. Huang Ying and the other two were shocked, thinking it was another abnormal sign of the stone forest.

Zi Linng took a step forward, staring at the black fog that was quickly approaching.

"Master, save me …" Upon seeing Zi Linng, it was as if the black fog had found its backbone, and with a flash, it landed behind her.

Huang Ying and the other two looked at each other, only seeing a ball of black mist trembling behind Zi Linng.

"What is this?" Jin curiously poked at the black fog.

"What are you doing?" The Shadowfiend was poked until it was itchy, then roared at the gold.

Gold smiled, "You really know how to talk. Who are you?"

"I am not a thing, you are a thing!" As he said this, he felt that what he said wasn't right and immediately said, "Pah! You're not a thing!"

Gold was confused by its words and muttered, "How can you curse?"

"Then I'll scold you, I'll scold you!" The Shadowfiend was also a rare target that he could bully. Seeing that the gold did not retaliate loudly, they immediately oppressed it.

"Shut up!" Zi Linng shouted coldly, immediately extinguishing the arrogant aura of the Shadowfiend.
