Thunder and lightning roared incessantly.
Tong Xin looked out the window and asked in confusion, "It's not cloudy, so why is it thundering?"
"Ouch! Captain, why did you hit me?" Tong Xin rubbed his head.
Si Yehong crossed his arms and walked to the window: "Silly, this isn't rain, it's lightning summoned by someone."
The crow on watch looked at the unusual silvery-purple thunderclouds in the distance: "Someone is coming this way again."
"Reinforcements?" Nightingale asked.
"They haven't come over yet, so we can't see them clearly."
...
Having entered the core of the Bone-Melting Pit, Chang Le and the others felt an unusual sense of oppression.
A lingering, oppressive aura, seemingly formed by some supernatural power, hung in the air, refusing to dissipate. A few faint wisps of it made it hard to breathe, like the calm before a storm.
Chang Le glanced back at the saber-toothed ants, who were clearly wary of the core area but were still approaching, and said:
"It's not safe here, let's go further in. If they're not so busy running around, they should have left some marks."
Iris and the others followed her further inside.
After crossing a low hill, they noticed that the saber-toothed ants behind them had stopped, as if there was something ahead that made them afraid to approach.
The threat of the saber-toothed ants was gone, but the oppressive feeling was even more pronounced here. It felt as if the superpowers within him were being suppressed by something, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Iris said, "This feeling is somewhat like the energy field left behind after the fall of a super ninth-tier powerhouse."
This energy field exerts pressure on those with supernatural abilities, but if one can adapt to this pressure, it can actually be beneficial for cultivation.
Chang Le looked at the desolate surroundings: "Could it be that a super ninth-level expert once perished here, thus forming this bone-melting pit?"
"careful!"
Wan Buxun suddenly spoke up to remind him.
He spoke seriously, staring intently ahead: "There's something very dangerous ahead."
The others immediately became alert: "What is that?"
"I don't know, let's move forward slowly."
A sudden patch of deciduous, withered trees appeared ahead, but as they got closer, they realized that the forest was actually growing in a muddy swamp.
The mud was thin and its color was similar to the surrounding ground; if you weren't careful, you could easily step right into it.
“Look over there!” Iris pointed to a tree.
Everyone looked closely.
Beneath those trees, half-exposed in the mud, were several fragmented pieces of white bone!
"Back off!"
Chang Le immediately gave a soft shout, and the vines, sensing the danger, appeared on their own and perched on Chang Le's shoulder.
"Could this mud pit be the real place where bones are melted?"
Chang Le picked up a stone and threw it over. The stone landed in the mud and did not react at all, gradually sinking to the bottom.
"It wasn't melted?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a beetle flew by, accidentally crashing into a branch and falling into the mud.
Immediately, as if it had come into contact with sulfuric acid, the beetle was completely corroded before it sank.
"My God!" Iris took a step back.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Chang Le suddenly clutched his chest, his expression changing slightly.
"Lele, what's wrong?" Iris asked hurriedly.
Chang Le felt the suffocating pressure in his lungs and the slowing of his heart, his face turning pale: "This place...something's not right!"
She had barely finished speaking when one of the Dragon Soul soldiers suddenly swayed and nearly fell. He was caught and started to feel unwell.
"What's going on?" Wan Buxun walked over.
The man replied, "Chest...chest tightness, heart discomfort..."
The Dragon Soul Army soldier supporting him twitched his nose, then covered it: "There's something in the air! It smells like the mud!"
Wan Buxun's expression changed drastically. He glanced around and pointed to the right: "Back up! Quickly!"
That's an open space with excellent ventilation.
The fact that they only experienced problems near the mud pit indicates that the problem only occurred in the vicinity of the mud pit, while areas further away and in well-ventilated places were not affected.
Everyone retreated to an open area and it took them a while to recover.
Chang Le leaned against the iris, regulating her breathing and calming herself.
Iris stayed by her side, while Wanbuxun and the others searched for nearby clues.
After a while, Wan Buxun's voice came: "There's a mark over here!"
Chang Le opened her eyes and went over with Iris.
There was a dog's head mark on a rock near the mud pit.
Chang Le laughed when he saw the mark.
This cheeky dog head symbol is Goubuli's secret code.
It means "I am here".
"They're here too!"
Chang Le and the others followed the markers forward, only to find themselves back near the mud pit.
"It broke right here!" Wan Buxun stared in astonishment at the edge of the mud pit in front of him.
Chang Le's breathing became rapid as he walked this far.
The substances evaporating from the mud act like ultrasound, putting pressure on Chang Le's internal organs. Chang Le already suffered irreversible damage from the fall, and being here was like swimming in mud.
Not only Chang Le, but also Wan Buxun and Iris, who have not yet been significantly affected, have all other members of the Dragon Soul Army shown signs of reaction.
Iris supported her with one hand and said, "Is there some hidden passage or hidden space?"
The Dragon Soul Army member with spatial abilities stepped forward: "I'll give it a try."
He summoned the partitioned space and constantly changed its location to search.
space?
Chang Le recalled that 422's [teleportation] was also a spatial ability, and that the passage of the God-Making Sect was discovered by 422.
"A bunny? Let's look for it."
I need to borrow some of your superpowers. Can you handle it?
"No problem, come on."
