Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou immediately panicked. What did the middle-aged merchant mean by that? He had been able to sense the changes in the teleportation channel before, but now he was suddenly being told that he couldn't sense it anymore?

Why at such a crucial moment?

Chen Zhou looked at the middle-aged vendor curiously and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know why, but I just can't sense the situation of this teleportation channel anymore..." the middle-aged merchant said slowly, his tone full of helplessness.

Upon hearing the middle-aged vendor's words, Chen Zhou immediately fell silent. What was going on? Chen Zhou had placed most of his hopes on the middle-aged vendor, thinking that the vendor would at least tell them their current location in this teleportation channel.

It seems that even the location information cannot be told to Chen Zhou and the others now.

Chen Zhou and his team could only say that they had to rely entirely on themselves.

"Why is this happening?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself. He didn't want the people in the Advanced Alliance to know too much, as it would only cause unnecessary panic and wouldn't do them any good in their current situation.

Chen Zhou now hopes that the middle-aged vendor can find the cause and, ideally, see if there is any way to remedy the situation. If things continue like this, it will indeed not benefit either party.

Especially those in the advanced alliance.

"I don't know either. After I woke up from my coma, I always felt like something was missing... Now it seems that what's missing is the connection I established with this teleportation channel," the middle-aged merchant said. He looked very haggard, and this feeling made him feel very uncomfortable.

Because the atmosphere in this teleportation channel was already oppressive, the middle-aged merchant who could previously perceive the situation in the entire teleportation channel could no longer do so, and naturally became flustered.

Upon seeing this situation, Chen Zhou immediately said, "Don't worry."

After speaking with the middle-aged vendor, Chen Zhou immediately walked to the small hole in the wall he had just seen. His gaze remained fixed on the hole, and he continued to peer through it, trying to peek at what lay behind it.

Chen Zhou had looked at it the same way last time, but all he saw was darkness. The only useful thing he could sense was the demonic energy behind the wall.

This time was completely different from the last. Chen Zhou had learned his lesson and transformed the area around his eyes into a flame, illuminating the world behind the wall.

Only then did Chen Zhou realize that the world behind them was actually a completely different place from the teleportation channel they were in!

Behind the wall at the top of their teleportation tunnel was another passage, but this passage was no longer an illusory teleportation tunnel; it was a real cave! The cave was filled with weeds, and nothing else.

It seems there's a cave behind this wall, and who knows, this cave might be the eighth level of the world.

Chen Zhou became excited at the thought; this was definitely a good thing! Just then, a wisp of demonic energy was poured into Chen Zhou's eyes. Chen Zhou immediately closed his eyes and withdrew. It seemed that he couldn't stay in front of that small hole for too long, as the demonic energy would continue to enter Chen Zhou's eyes, causing adverse effects.

"What's going on behind this?" The middle-aged vendors immediately surrounded Chen Zhou and asked when they saw his actions.

“It’s just an ordinary cave. I guess we only need to break through the wall of this teleportation tunnel to enter the cave, which would probably take us to the eighth level,” Chen Zhou thought for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and replied.

Chen Zhou's speculation sparked thought in the middle-aged vendor, who was also not very familiar with the current situation. He immediately asked, "Are you sure?"

“We can’t worry about whether we’re sure or not now. There’s only one road. We can’t just go back the way we came, can we?” Chen Zhou replied.

"That's the only way for now," the middle-aged vendor said.

Chen Zhou nodded silently, then led the middle-aged merchant to the wall. Looking at the illusory wall, which was very illusory in front of them and even appeared and disappeared, they could not see anything because it was dark on the other side.

Strangely, no matter how large Chen Zhou's flames were on this side, they could not penetrate the illusory wall to reach the other side.

So currently, only Chen Zhou has seen what happened on that side. No one else has.

"The problem now is how to break through this wall..." the middle-aged merchant said, looking at the wall.

Chen Zhou was also deep in thought, and both of them were deep in thought. It could be said that the question on everyone's mind right now was how to break down this wall.

"I'll try it first," the middle-aged vendor said.

Chen Zhou immediately looked at the middle-aged vendor with surprise. Middle-aged vendors usually declined such strenuous tasks, so why was he offering to do it now? Seeing Chen Zhou's expression, the middle-aged vendor immediately shook his head and looked at Chen Zhou, saying, "I'll give it a try."

"Okay." Chen Zhou said softly, then led the group of people from the Advanced Alliance to retreat. Seeing everyone retreat, the middle-aged merchant immediately took back all the Nine Linked Rings, including the two on Chen Zhou's feet.

Holding all the nine linked rings in his hand, the middle-aged merchant immediately began to connect the nine rings together, and Chen Zhou saw the original appearance of the nine linked rings again.

Chen Zhou had only ever seen the middle-aged vendor disassemble and use the rings, and now he had only seen the vendor put the nine-linked rings back to their original state a few times.
