Chapter 319: Death Valley, Back to the Original State
In the blink of an eye, January has passed.

“Is this the legendary Death Valley?”

Meng Yiran looked at the barren land in front of him and couldn't help but speak out.

The boundless Gobi Desert was cracked open one scar after another under the scorching sun. The hot air distorted the light and even the sky. Yellow sand filled the sky, and the rolled up dust was like countless ghosts jumping in the air, making a rustling sound, which was the only sound on this land.

There is no sign of life in Death Valley, no greenery, no water source, and even insects and birds dare not approach this cursed land. Withered plants and dried animal remains are scattered on the ground, as if they are telling that this land once had life, but now only the echo of death remains.

The Death Valley looks very eerie and terrifying. The howling cold wind and the stirred-up dust sound like ghosts whispering, which makes people shudder.

"It looks like the Valley of Death."

Dugu Yan swallowed his saliva. This Death Valley was indeed one of the forbidden areas of the Star Luo Empire. It looked very dangerous.

The Valley of Death is located in the Zangu Mountains to the lower right of Zhenli City in the southern part of the Xingluo Empire.

It is said that a hundred years ago, three Titled Douluo entered the Valley of Death, but none of them came out. In the next twenty or thirty years, countless soul masters entered, but no one could come out.

From then on, this place was designated as a forbidden area and named Death Valley.

Until now, no one has ever entered the Valley of Death.

“It looks very dangerous.”

"It's okay. We carry the academy's token. If we are in danger, the dean will sense it."

Meng Yiran also felt that it was very dangerous, but in order to obtain the throne of god, it was necessary.

"it is good."

Dugu Yan nodded, and the two of them stepped into the Valley of Death.

Just as the two entered the Death Valley, an invisible barrier appeared, covering the entire Death Valley, and a hint of pink flashed by.

"Ok?"

Meng Yiran suddenly looked behind him.

"what happened?"

Dugu Yan said doubtfully.

Meng Yiran didn't say anything. He reached out and touched it, but it ended up on the barrier.

"barrier!"

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise that there was a barrier here, and the two of them were covered in the barrier.

"It seems that there may really be a divine inheritance here. No wonder Titled Douluo always got into trouble in the past. I'm afraid that if we can't obtain the divine position, we won't be able to get out alive."

Meng Yiran's face looked a little ugly, and he looked at Dugu Yan with some apology. It was at his request that Dugu Yan came in. If something happened to the two of them here, then he would really be the sinner.

"It's okay. We are both Soul Douluo. We are extremely talented. There will be no problem."

Dugu Yan also noticed Meng Yiran's distress and comforted her.

"Ah."

"Let's go."

The sky is filled with yellow sand, rocks are flying everywhere, and the sun is shining brightly.

This made the two of them feel very uncomfortable, and they could only cover themselves with soul power shields.

"This damn place is so bad."

"Yes, fortunately we brought a lot of food, otherwise it would be difficult to hold on." Dugu Yan saw countless white bones along the way. After countless years of wind blowing, they would turn into powder and disappear between heaven and earth at the slightest touch.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been walking, and the sky gradually darkened.

Their clothes were all covered with sweat and sand. The two men could no longer be described as dusty. They could even be compared to beggars.

"This Death Valley is really magical. Although I don't know how long we have been walking, according to the size we saw outside, we should have crossed the Death Valley, but in fact we haven't. I even feel like we are going in circles."

Dugu Yan took a sip of water and rubbed his chapped lips.

"I feel the same way, maybe there's something we haven't discovered yet."

"Ah."

Duguyan slowly closed her eyes, "Yi Ran, what do you think is the most abundant in this Death Valley?"

"sand?"

Meng Yiran asked suspiciously, do you still need to ask this?

"No, it's death. As we walked along, we saw countless bones, including those of animals, humans, and even dried plants. What does this mean? It's death!"

“This valley of death is telling us about death all the time.”

Dugu Yan's eyes suddenly opened and she pinched the sand on the ground.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I am sure that this Death Valley is worthy of its name. These are not sand at all, but ashes! They are the ashes of countless animals and humans. As for why we look like sand, I don't know. It could be an illusion, or it could be some other way."

“Ashes!”

Meng Yiran was frightened by Dugu Yan's words and stood up quickly. Could it be that what he had been sitting on were ashes? This was too scary.

"Why do you think so?"

"Where is Death Valley? It's in the southernmost part of the Xing Luo Empire. It's on the coast, so how could there be a desert? Although it's not impossible, the dean told me that coastal deserts are caused by ocean currents and climate. Ocean currents are divided into warm currents and cold currents. Warm currents accelerate the evaporation of water vapor, push humid air to the land, and bring abundant precipitation, while cold currents have the opposite effect and will reduce precipitation in the area they pass through."

"Do you think this is going to happen here?"

Meng Yiran shook his head. "No, the climate of Xingluo Empire is much better than that of Tiandou Empire. The temperature is suitable all year round, and the rainfall is always abundant."

"So, there can't be a desert here, even in the valley. Unless someone has the ability to turn this place into a desert, which is not something a soul master can do."

"is God!"

"Yes, these deserts are either ashes or they were created by God."

Dugu Yan said as he slowly stood up and brushed off the sand on his body.

"So how can we cross this valley of death?"

Meng Yiran already felt that his brain was not enough.

"Death is a simple thing. What is difficult is to find that life among the nine deaths, and this is where we are now. Where is life?"

Dugu Yan looked at the sandstorm rock walls, white bones and dead branches around him. Nothing of it looked alive. It was so desolate to the extreme that it made people despair.

"In such a desolate place, with no way out, most people would choose to wait for death, which is equivalent to throwing away the hope of life."

"If the road ahead is blocked, it is a dead end. Why doesn't anyone look behind? Maybe there is hope behind? In fact, we all have inertial thinking that if we look forward, we will definitely succeed. If we fail, it is because of our own lack of ability. However, we ignore one thing. In fact, there are many dimensions to solve a problem. "People" are the core of solving the problem."

"Break the inertia of thinking. Why not go back? Go back to the beginning."
