  “Have we…… left the Disaster Abyss Land?”


  Virtuoso asked this because they could clearly sense that the negative emotions which had been lingering around them at all times had completely vanished.

  The rest soon noticed this as well.

  “I think so.” Lin Huang was not too sure of the Disaster Abyss Land’s demarcation. Although he sensed the negative emotions around them were gone, he could not answer for sure. “Where do we go now?”


  “What can you sense?” Virtuoso asked.

  “There are a group of Carnivorous Giants at 10 o’clock, approximately 600 kilometers away.

  “At 11 o’clock, approximately 1,100 kilometers ahead, there’s a decaying toxic forest.

  “There are a group of Ghoul Jackals at 12 o’clock, approximately 500 kilometers away.

  “There’s a toxic fog swamp at one o’clock within 1,300 kilometers, but the exact situation is unknown for now.

  “At two o’clock, roughly around 800 kilometers off, there’s a large cluster of Dead Spirit monsters.

  “If we head in the direction of nine o’clock and three o’clock, we’ll go back to the Disaster Abyss Land.”


  Lin Huang turned his head to look at Virtuoso. Noticing that they were frowning in deep thought, he could not help asking, “Don’t you have a specific destination in mind?”


  Only then did Virtuoso look at him. “The place I want to go to is called Phantom City. My objective is to retrieve the castellan’s seal. I also know the exact coordinates of a few phantom cities. The problem is I’m not sure where we are right now. That’s because there are hundreds, even to up to thousands of discovered Disaster Abyss Lands in the Abyss, and there are even more Demonic Bug Mazes. Although there are many phantom cities too, it’s not easy to encounter one.”


  “So which direction do we go now?” Lin Huang asked.

  Virtuoso hesitated for a moment but made a decision. “The toxic swamp then.”


  Lin Huang could not help frowning upon hearing their answer.

  “You might want to think this through. That might be the most dangerous place of all these few options. My probing technique will be blocked in the fog too, and we won’t know what’s happening in there.”


  “Let’s just go there. We can see through the rest just with a glance anyway. Moreover, a phantom city’s entrance is usually somewhere that’s not easily discoverable.” Virtuoso clearly did not have any better choices. “If there really is a phantom city nearby, the entrance is most probably in the swamp. Let’s bet on that!”


  “What do you all think?” Lin Huang glanced at the rest.

  “Since Phantom City is our destination, no matter what, we’ll still have to look for the entrance regardless. The rest of the entrance locations might not be as safe as the swamp anyway.” What Lan Ling said was something Lin Huang had never expected.

  To him, she was an introverted, timid sort of girl.

  “I think what Lan Ling said makes sense,” Tu Tong, off to one side, agreed immediately.

  “Let’s go!” Saber9 was even more straightforward.

  Since he saw that everyone was unanimous in their agreement, Lin Huang did not object any further.

  He was not worried at all that he might die. After all, he had the abilities from Monster Paradise. As long as he was not killed by lord-level powerhouses, he could be revived with full health.

  He had intentionally brought this up earlier since he was mainly worried that Tu Tong and Lan Ling might not possess sufficient ability. However, since the two of them had agreed, he could not really say anything more.

  After deciding on the direction, they headed straight to the foggy swamp.

  “You don’t need to worry about us. In reality, there are many such foggy swamps in the Abyss. It shouldn’t be a problem as long as we’re careful,” Lan Ling suddenly said to Lin Huang through voice transmission as they were on the way, “Also, my spell probing is effective most of the time in such foggy areas.”


  Lin Huang nodded at her slightly but did not reply.

  All of them hurried along and soon arrived at the foggy swamp that Lin Huang had mentioned earlier.

  White fog covered the place as far as the eye could see, dense as clouds.

  They could not see anything of the swamp at all.

  If anyone were to barge in carelessly, however, they might fall into the swamp immediately and be corroded to death.

  Very wisely, Lin Huang and the others paused in front of the fog.

  Virtuoso and the rest all looked at Lan Ling.

  She was also aware that it was time for her to demonstrate her abilities.

  She rolled up both of her sleeves and swiftly began performing complex hand seals with both hands.

  A moment later, incantations like tiny snakes appeared on her skinny arms immediately, squirming about rapidly on them as if they were alive.

  She abruptly pressed both palms onto the ground, and the incantations swiftly began to wriggle into the earth.

  After that, she sat with her legs crossed and closed her eyes.

  Quite sometime later, Lan Ling finally opened her eyes slowly. However, she could not help but frown. “My probing technique is experiencing a significant blockage in this foggy area.”


  “How far can you probe?” Virtuoso asked immediately.

  “The distance is even shorter than in the Demonic Bug Maze, 10 kilometers at most,” Lan Ling said helplessly, “This fog seems to have the ability to absorb spells and refract them. The further I probe, the faster the spell wears out—you could say it’s exponentially effective.”


  “If I’m not wrong, your spell isn’t the only thing that’s being affected here.” Lin Huang released a wisp of Divine Telekinesis as he spoke. As expected, it experienced extreme blockage.

  He could clearly sense that the fog was absorbing his telekinesis. Once his Divine Telekinesis was swallowed up by the fog, it disappeared into it and vanished entirely. Even information feedback was significantly affected.

  “I can’t use my Divine Telekinesis either,” Lin Huang reported the results of his experiment after he tried. His Divine Telekinesis could only extend to just about 1,000 meters in this fog.

  Virtuoso and the rest tried their Divine Telekinesis too after hearing what Lin Huang had said and quickly came to the same conclusion.

  “We can only rely on you now,” Tu Tong said, smiling at Lan Ling.

  “Lead the way, Xiao Lanlan,” Virtuoso too turned their head to look at Lan Ling.

  She nodded immediately and said, “Let’s go into the swamp from the 12 o’clock direction, that is, straight ahead.

  “Be careful, however; the swamp contains many Enchanted Toads and Poison Arrow Frogs. If we’re merely attacked, it won’t be something life-threatening. However, if we fall into the swamp, there’s a high chance that we’d be contaminated by the dense Abyssal energy and become Abyssal creatures.”


  “Don’t make it sound so scary, can you?” From off to one side, Tu Tong gave a forced, rather stiff smile. “This place is already dangerous enough. Now that you’ve said this, I don’t want to go in at all.”


  “What’s the point of your current physique then!” Lan Ling’s lips curled slightly. “You’re good to look at, but you’re useless.”


  “I’ll lead the way,” Lin Huang volunteered the suggestion.

  He was not doing this to show off but because he possessed Mirror (the upgraded version of Dark Mirror), an unbelievably powerful defensive technique.

  If he took the lead, this would minimize his other teammates’ casualties.

  “Both of us will bring up the rear.” Saber9 nodded as well.

  Naturally, he meant himself and Virtuoso when he said, “Both of us.”


  Once the three of them had taken their positions, the remaining two naturally stood in the middle, which was also the safest position in the entire team.
