Outside the valley, Xi stood in the pouring rain, gazing at the devastated Red Spirit Flower Valley, his heart filling with guilt.
This arid land couldn't be saved by a single downpour.
A single drought could turn a beautiful sea of flowers into a barren wasteland, but to make that wasteland lush with growth again required far more than just this one rain.
"Wait for me," Xi said, looking at the dead land.
He would definitely return to restore Hundred Flowers Island to its former glory, but right now, there were more important things to do.
"Come with me. I know a hidden route that will get us to the Central Island quickly…"
"Alright."
...
The route Xi chose was indeed different from the optimal one Li Luo had seen on her map. Instead of crossing Hundred Flowers Island to reach the next island, he found a mountain range and, within it, a barely perceptible cave.
"We go through here."
