196: Yellow Sand Land

During these two days, Lin Shu listened to Gu Li and did not leave the school.

However, there was no need to go out. After all, the Beastmasters near the Soul Severing Mountain Range had all died due to the Beast Tide, and basically no Beastmasters survived. It would take at least another year for a new batch to appear.

Going there would have been meaningless and a complete waste of effort.

After returning from the Land of Inheritance, he would need to find another place to grind for proficiency.

Lin Shu didn't just sit idle during these two days of free time.

He also took the opportunity to catch up on other subject knowledge in the teaching building. After all, there would still be assessments, so he had to study a bit.

Furthermore, he used this month's Earth Vein Tide time. After all, any improvement was still good. If he returned in April, this month's time would be wasted.

The time to go to the Land of Inheritance had also been set for the afternoon of March 16th. This time, it wasn't just Lin Shu; Central State University had about fifty slots available. As a top university, it was normal to have more slots.

However, they couldn't use this Mental treasure land. This was a benefit exclusive to Lin Shu, and the cost of activating that treasure land once was not low.

Moreover, the number of users was extremely limited, with only a few in each batch, which showed its rarity.

Gu Li also sent over some of the effects and functions of the Land of Inheritance in document form.

This allowed Lin Shu to roughly understand the specific content.

The method of passing was basically similar to the Trial Tower, and the guarding Beastmasters were also similar to illusions.

Only the internal scenes had some changes; everything else was pretty much the same.

There were also age requirements. To enter, one needed a bone age test, and those over nineteen could not enter.

Therefore, only first-year students could enter. Most Lands of Inheritance are like this, with strict requirements.

However, for every step forward, one could choose a reward.

In this regard, the Reward Tower within Central State University clearly drew inspiration from this model.

Naturally, the further one went, the richer the rewards.

According to rumors, it contained not only spiritual objects, evolution materials, secret techniques, and evolution methods, but also ancient texts and legends, and even Beastmaster eggs, so it could be said to have everything.

One can imagine how powerful the Otherworld forces that could open up a Land of Inheritance were.

Lin Shu was still somewhat looking forward to this; these rewards seemed quite good.

And after asking his mentor, he found that there were Beastmasters that could be killed in the Otherworld where the Land of Inheritance was located.

However, their strength might be a bit high.

This made it even more appealing instantly.

Lin Shu didn't have to wait long; his mentor's message had already arrived before the afternoon.

"Gather outside the city."

"Received."

After a quick reply, Lin Shu immediately rushed over.

This time, two mentors led the team: Gu Li and Wu He Tai.

Because Lin Shu was going, Gu Li strongly requested to go. The incident in the Land of Dragons last time left him feeling guilty, and he absolutely could not let Lin Shu get into trouble.

So, he easily secured this opportunity.

Everyone gathered quickly; almost all fifty people arrived at the same time, with no one late.

The team consisted of familiar faces, similar to the squad assignments during the previous Beast Tide defense.

Most were students who ranked high in the ranking competition. Li Wen and Chu Yu did not miss this opportunity due to their respective mentors.

It could be said that they just caught the last train.

This made both of them overjoyed.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's depart!"

Wu He Tai waved his hand, and a huge black shadow appeared in the sky.

Gusts of strong wind whistled, continuously blowing from that massive shadow.

This was a giant black bird, roughly tens of meters in size. Its crystal-like wings shimmered in the sunlight, and its back was covered with densely packed concrete houses, which were clearly resting places.

This black bird was the Giant-winged Black Sparrow, a rare transportation Beastmaster of Central State University.

Its level reached Spirit Origin Level, and its quality was Lord, yet with such power, it was only used for travel.

Many people, sensing the surging aura and momentum, couldn't help but marvel.

This time, the destination was quite far, and other universities would also be present, so it also served as a show of strength.

Everyone quickly moved to the back, entering the houses.

Then, the Giant-winged Black Sparrow flapped its wings, soaring into the sky at an extremely fast speed, quickly heading forward... The area where the Land of Inheritance was located this time was Huangzhou. This place was deep within the Great Xia national border, adjacent to neighboring countries.

Due to its slightly harsh weather environment and scarce land suitable for human survival, it was named Huangzhou.

Its internal population was sparse, with only a small portion of the area suitable for human habitation. Most of this area consisted of barren forbidden zones, densely populated with Beastmasters, making it extremely dangerous.

And this Otherworld was located within a dangerous wilderness area.

However, with two mentors accompanying the team, everyone naturally didn't have to worry about safety.

The Spirit Origin Level strength of the Giant-winged Black Sparrow alone deterred most Beastmasters from approaching.

Although the journey was extremely long, with its incredibly fast speed, they still arrived in just a few hours. Its speed far surpassed that of a fighter jet, truly amazing for a Beastmaster specifically used for transportation.

The Giant-winged Black Sparrow instantly pierced through the thin membrane, entering the Otherworld.

This Otherworld was a large one named Land of Yellow Sand. Its internal environment was extremely dangerous and harsh, with many Spirit Origin Level Beastmasters appearing.

Beastmasters of the eighth and ninth ranks were common, indicating the level of danger.

However, under the absolute power of Great Xia's sweeping operation, the area spanning several thousand kilometers around the Trial Land and Mental treasure land was thoroughly cleared, forcing all those Spirit Origin Beastmasters into corners and eliminating most of the dangers.

Soon, they arrived at a flat area, and the Giant-winged Black Sparrow slowly descended, allowing everyone to disembark from its back.

Looking at the scene of yellow sand filling the sky, everyone wasn't too surprised. After all, Otherworld environments varied, and any kind of terrain was normal.

The area was desolate, with nothing but wind-blown quicksand and a pale yellow hue as far as the eye could see. Not even a patch of green was visible. Under the hot air, everyone felt a tightness in their chests and shortness of breath.

To the side, there were many earthen houses built side-by-side. Seeing their uniform appearance, it was clear that they were uniformly constructed by Earth-attribute Beastmasters.

Apparently, these would be everyone's accommodations for the next few days. Given the limited environment, having a place to stay was already quite good, and no one complained.

Wu He Tai and Gu Li stood in front of everyone and loudly said:

"Those houses ahead are the accommodations. You can choose any one to enter."

"Feel free to move around. The Land of Inheritance will begin in the next two days, and you will be notified then."

"Do not wander around randomly; the vicinity is very dangerous."

"Understood."

Then everyone dispersed to attend to their own matters.

Li Wen and Chu Yu came to Lin Shu's side, and the three of them casually chose adjacent houses.

Then they entered and began to talk.

The three sat on the beds made of clay, their hard touch like concrete.

However, the space inside was quite large, enough for a Beastmaster to use.

As soon as Li Wen sat down, he couldn't help but start talking about some information he had learned.

"I heard that this time, Tianshu University from Linzhou will also be coming."

"I know that."

Lin Shu and Chu Yu nodded simultaneously; apparently, this news was almost common knowledge.

Tianshu University, like Central State University, belonged to the five top universities.

However, it was considered a weaker tier among them, ranking fourth.

But the strength of its students, naturally, should not be underestimated.

There would also be no shortage of Beastmaster geniuses...
