However, unlike before, this barrier suddenly changed when they were halfway there.

Its energy absorption capacity is even more ferocious than that of the one in the Endless Sea.

It directly drained two-thirds of Wu Hua's energy, causing the two of them to become weak as soon as they stepped into the wilderness.

They went straight into the space to recuperate, without even having time to conduct an on-site inspection.

As Qin Luo channeled energy into Wu Hua, he silently harbored suspicions.

Seeing that her brows were furrowing more and more tightly, Wu Hua guessed what she was thinking.

"You suspect your father has been spying on us all along?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo nodded sadly.

"Perhaps it's because I've been entering his and Mingzhao's dreams too frequently lately."

As he spoke, he affectionately patted Wu Hua's little head.

"My dear child, you've really suffered. If this continues, the barrier to the Central Plains might drain all your energy."

Wu Hua undeniably agreed with her point of view.

"If I'm not mistaken, these barriers were set up using artifacts he brought from the underworld. We currently have no magical artifacts that can counter them, so we can only be slaughtered by them."

Qin Luo felt a pang of regret; it was all his fault for rushing into the small world back then.

"I should have asked the Heavenly Dao for some treasures before coming in. What a mistake..."

Wu Hua's attitude, however, was relatively optimistic.

"You can't buy hindsight with a thousand pieces of gold. Everything is predestined. However, Ming Yi's sudden actions seem to indicate that he doesn't want us to get close to the wilderness at all."

"Could it be that there's something in this desolate place that they're keeping from us?"

Wu Hua stared at her intently.

"To be precise, it should be that you can't know."

"You can't let me know? What could it be?"

Wu Hua wasn't quite sure either, so she could only analyze it with her step by step.

"Think about it, what do you hate the most?"
