Chapter 1736: Veluriyam Snake Fish
While they were speaking, the Cloud Boat had already made it to the Ghastly Abyss of the Lost. They were immediately greeted by the sight of a bottomless chasm where the other shore was nowhere in sight.
Thick, dark fog could be seen churning out of the abyss at high volume and speed. Such was the force that they blocked out the sea water and prevented it from pouring into the abyss.
Strangely, the fog was clearly moving upward, but they, travelers standing at the edge of the abyss, were constantly moving closer to the center. It was as if the abyss was attempting to drag them into its belly.
“We’re moving toward the Ghastly Abyss of the Lost!”
Lingyu too noticed this and let out a cry of surprise. However, that same cry quickly turned into one of terror.
It was because she discovered that she could not halt her momentum even after employing all of her strength and using every method she knew of.
“Oh no no no! I can’t stop myself! What do we do?”
“Grandpa Turtle, sister Feng, save me!”
Ye Qing grabbed the flailing Lingyu—she was flapping her wings desperately in an attempt to get away—while perceiving the anomalous energies around him. He remarked, “What an anomalous power!”
The power was eerie, but not filthy. Dark, but not evil. It was strange, and it filled up the entire abyss. Even Sages like Ye Qing were unable to cut off the power completely.
This was because they were still a distance away from the Ghastly Abyss of the Lost too. It was not yet strong enough to pull them into the abyss.
It would be a different story if they were directly above the abyss. The strange power was greater and stronger there, and the deeper one fell into the abyss, the greater it became.
