Upon hearing this, Anlian didn't ask any further questions. The group packed their belongings and began to grope their way towards a certain direction, led by those who had been sacrificed and brought here long ago.

They seemed to have gotten used to life here, and could walk easily on the road even though they couldn't see. During this time, Su Yuan could see some Ming Shi beasts lying on the ground.

There are so many of them, you can see some every few steps. Some are over ten meters long, while others are only a few centimeters long. They are densely scattered underground, just as they said, countless.

Some of the bodies were relatively intact, but as Su Yuan walked by, he also found some broken Ming Shi beasts, their half-bodies lying around like broken sculptures.

Along the way, everyone walked very slowly, and every now and then they would be tripped by the bodies of some Ming Shi beasts. Su Yuan hurriedly helped a beast girl who was about to fall and looked ahead.

"Yo..."

Countless light sounds slowly rose in mid-air, and Qing Si and the others at the forefront stopped in their tracks.

"This place is so beautiful!"

Hunting Flame and Xin Ke also raised their heads. In front of them, various strange plants grew on a piece of land. They did not emit any light source and grew quietly around the land.

The unique shapes immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone...

In the center of the crowd was a tree trunk that took about two people to encircle. Before their arrival, other beast girls had already come here, and everyone was groping around in the dark.

Many elves sat on the branches of the tree around which the crowd was gathered, while others came down to the ground and placed some food on the stones in front of the tree, where they enjoyed it.

"We've arrived. This is where the Mother of the Dark Abyss grew up."

"This... the Mother of the Dark Abyss is that tree that's a meter thick?"

I thought it was some towering giant tree, but it turned out to be just an ordinary big tree, and the leaves even looked a bit sparse.

"Hmm? How do you know what the Mother of the Dark Abyss looks like?" Anlian sensed something was off in the words and turned her head to ask.

Damn, I was careless. Su Yuan hadn't even realized that he was blind.

However, he remained calm: "It's just some minor witchcraft; I can still sense the changes around me."

"Hehehe, then you're quite suited to this place."

Anlian smiled and didn't ask any further questions. A beast girl walked down from the big tree, her eyes fixed on the front, seemingly unaffected by the dark elements.

As he walked, he even managed to avoid the stones under his feet. When he arrived next to An Lian, he frowned slightly and asked, "An Lian, what brings you here?"

“Night Eye, I… the children of the tribe have found a way to leave Star Rift Canyon, and I have brought the rest of the tribe to join you.”

"Nonsense! Why don't you leave? My mother was a pathfinder too. Do you know why she abandoned me and braved dangers to explore everywhere?"

Upon hearing that she could leave, Ye Tong's expression changed drastically. Her eyes stared intently ahead, as if she could see An Lian, and she angrily rebuked her.

"I'm not joking. How many people are still underground? How much food is left? How many tribes above are willing to offer food as sacrifices? If everyone leaves, what will happen to those Wood Spirits? What will happen to the Mother of the Dark Abyss?"

"...That's not your business. Once you leave Star Rift Canyon, even if there's a riot underground, it's none of your concern."

"I can't do it. They saved me, and you saved me too. I can't just leave like this!"

The noise attracted a crowd, but Su Yuan didn't disturb them. Instead, he ate some melon seeds as he approached the big tree. When he got to the tree, the noise suddenly stopped.

"Who are you?! What are you trying to do by approaching the Mother of the Dark Abyss?"
