"If we were to differentiate them in detail, Star Rift Canyon is not only divided into three layers. We are in the crystal cluster area of the second layer, and there is a wind gap area on the next layer."
“Some tribes’ Crystal Warriors would carry supplies out of the canyon through the wind gap to trade with the tribes above and bring back supplies, but the risks were extremely high.”
"The next level down is the Fungus Forest, where sunlight can no longer reach. However, some luminous fungi grow there. The tribes in the Crystal Cluster area often go to the Fungus Forest to collect food."
"The last layer is underground, which we also call the Dark Abyss Zone. However, we have never been there, so we don't know much about it. But the witch said that there is no light in it, as if it is endless darkness."
"If you ask me, staying in a place like that for more than ten days would drive a person completely insane!"
This canyon is not just a simple crack. After the two sisters explained it to him, Su Yuan gained a general understanding of this magical canyon world and the creatures that live in it.
"By the way, have you seen any orcs here?"
"Orcs?"
The older sister was taken aback at first, but the younger sister reacted quickly and excitedly explained, "I know, I know, Sister Tuying met her when she went out to trade things."
"Those orcs look exactly like ferocious beasts, they're so ugly, and they're especially wicked. They try to steal things from Sister Tuying whenever they see her, but Sister Tuying kills them all!"
Seeing the sisters' reactions, Su Yuan asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are there no orcs in the canyon?"
"No, there are only the divinely gifted people described by outsiders here, but they were divided into two groups a long time ago."
"Two ethnic groups? Tell me more."
Su Yuan took out two pieces of candied fruit from his storage necklace. The two sisters seemed to have never seen this before, but they twitched their noses and immediately brought their faces closer.
After chatting all the way, their previous fear had disappeared, and their big eyes were fixed on the thing that made their mouths water involuntarily.
Is this something to eat?
"Of course, have a taste. Consider it a fee for your tour guides, you two little tour guides."
The two ignored the words they couldn't understand, but they understood the words "try it," so they immediately picked up the candied fruit and gently licked it with their little tongues.
The subtle sweetness seeped into their saliva, a taste they had never experienced before, but their bodily instincts compelled them to put the candied fruit in their mouths.
"It's so delicious! It's even better than the velvet fruit that Sister Tuying brought back!"
Food is indeed the best thing to bring people closer together. After eating the candied fruit, the two of them felt less wary and afraid of Su Yuan and the others.
"The two groups are a thing of the past. I heard that the two old leaders split up because of the Akashi issue. One group is the Light Chaser, who live in the upper levels. That is, us. We use Akashi to deal with those mad beasts."
"There are also those who fled to the Fungus Forest. They call themselves the Shadow People and believe that the Akashi is a stone of calamity and a stone of curse. So they hid in the Fungus Forest and have never left there since."
"Some people were even afraid of the disaster that Akashi brought, so they fled directly underground. Anyway, the witch said that they were all a bunch of madmen. When you go to the mushroom forest to find food, don't provoke them and stay away from them."
"......"
Along the way, Su Yuan also learned about the situation of Star Rift Canyon through the two sisters' explanations. In short, the monster riot was caused by the increased magic concentration at noon.
These beast girls' ancestors seemed to understand this reason as well, and some of them tried to use Akashi to resist the monsters, and they also maintained contact with the outside world.
The other group, seeing Akashi's monster rampage as a calamity, hid far away and had long since lost contact with the outside world. The two sisters didn't even know if the people underground were still alive.
