Chapter 152: Entering the dark abyss
The flower had eaten at least three hundred undead. It had completely trapped the undead between its petals, which wriggled continuously as it digested them.
The position of the giant flower was exactly the place that was crawling with zombies that Zuo Feng had just mentioned. It was likely that there were quite a number of Warrior-level undead among the three hundred that were eaten.
One after another, Star Constellations were drawn. Han Ji did not use Super Spells, his speed at constructing Star Constellations was simply too quick. The eerily glowing green seeds continued to appear between his fingers, which he flicked at the wall of zombies ahead.
Not long afterwards, another giant flower blossomed among the stacks of zombies. Every time a flower sprouted, it would eat at least a few hundred zombies straightaway. Some even ate over three hundred zombies with a single bite. The flowers kept the zombies inside the petals regardless of their numbers...
“Forward!” Another giant flower blossomed as Han Ji flicked his finger.
Mo Fan and the others were already in an area filled with the giant flowers. He only realized how big the flowers were when he stood close to them. Their size was comparable to the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials. It was likely that the flower could even eat an entire Flesh Mound Corpse Official.
Once the flowers ate something, they would remain tightly closed. The flower would simply wilt away before the petals opened up again.
Meanwhile, everything that they had eaten would be turned into a pile of lifeless corpses, dead just like the wilted flower!
It was Mo Fan’s first time seeing the Advanced Spell of the Plant Element. Even the thickest wall of zombies stood no chance when Han Ji could simply produce the flowers just by flicking his fingers. His fire rate was the same as Mo Fan tossing his Basic Spells around. The ocean of zombies was clearly becoming less dense than it was before!
When the path was cleared, the Imperial Magicians in the square formation immediately pushed forward.
A chill wind as terrifying as the sharp claws of some devils swept at the Magicians. The wind grew icier as they advanced forward. It felt like their souls were going to be shred into pieces by the ghastly wind!
The howls of the wind sounded like devilish cries. They could tell that they were very close to the Dark Abyss.
Even the undead were too scared to come any closer to the area. There were actually fewer undead after they broke through the wall of zombies.
The wind raft drifted forward. They could finally see the horrifying Dark Abyss, a great chasm that suddenly sank along the ground. It was the source of the ghostly wind that was icy enough to shred human souls.
“We can’t go any further. The vortex is going to drag us all into it!” reported Zuo Feng.
The closer they were to the Dark Abyss, the stronger the wind pulled them on. Their current distance was the limit of the Advanced Magicians. If they were to go any further, they would need a greater force to overcome the pulling force of the vortex!
Han Ji glanced at the Imperial Magicians around him and discovered that the wind raft had already deviated from its course.
It was clear that they could no longer maintain the formation.
“You all should retreat first, I’ll escort them for a little longer!” said Han Ji to Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng nodded and immediately gave the command, asking the scattered Advanced Magicians to withdraw from the place.
As soon as the order was given, more than half of the people left the troop. Only a few Super Magicians and the Imperial Magicians maintaining the square formation were left.
As they proceeded another four hundred meters forward, the strength of the wind totally surpassed their expectations. Not only was the wind whipping their souls, it was also pulling them in with a strong might. No wonder there was no sign of undead around, most of them were already dragged into the Dark Abyss by the vortex!
“This is the furthest I can escort you... shit, I can’t pull back!”
“I’ll lend you a hand!”
Du Xiao’s Green Eye was also having trouble moving as it wished. It quickly grabbed the Super Magician who was being dragged toward the Dark Abyss.
Du Xiao was in a pinch too. He immediately backed off after securing the man.
“You all should leave too!” Han Ji said to the rest of the Super Magicians.
“President, how about you?”
“I’ll stay a little longer!” Han Ji had already put on his armor. The dark, golden scales were fully wrapped around his figure. He looked remarkably mighty now, instead of his previous hoary appearance!
Han Ji looked at the group of four, who were perfectly fine and smiled in relief, “The wind isn’t doing anything to you. It seems like the entrance to Hell does welcome the descendants of the Ancient King. I hope that you’ll be safe after jumping into the abyss!”
As Mo Fan continued forward, the pulling force became even more terrifying, but fortunately, as Little Loach's protection began to take effect, that terrifying pulling sensation finally eased slightly.
Zhang Xiaohou followed closely behind him, wind faintly stabilizing his movement while the earth beneath his feet resisted the pull.
As he walked, he suddenly noticed the ground ahead inexplicably starting to collapse!!
First, the soil loosened, then the ground sank, as if the earth below was hollow. Due to some vibration, the thin surface layer suddenly collapsed, and then a pitch-black abyss appeared without warning before him!
The moonlight slanted, its hazy glow only illuminating the side wall of this sunken abyss. Half of it was lit diagonally, while the other half remained dark, and nothing could be seen further down, only pitch blackness.
“Uh ah~!!”,“Uh ah!!!!”,“Uh ah uh ah!!!! Wu ah!!! Wu ah!!!”
As Mo Fan peered down, he discovered that in the deep pit below, scarlet eyes were densely packed. Zhang Xiaohou also looked down and felt his scalp tighten slightly. They were not beautiful like stars; rather, they were so dense that they made goosebumps erupt all over his body, feeling as if his heart was riddled with holes by the most greedy, hungry, and vicious gazes in this world!
The abyss below was very dark, but one could still see countless bodies and limbs wriggling down there. They were completely piled together, layer upon layer, corpse upon corpse, corpses crawling over corpses, stacked like mountains.
As far as the eye could see, the abyss was so vast that not a speck of earth could be seen; it was all those disgusting cadavers that made one's scalp tingle!
Thousands!
Tens of thousands!
So many undead creatures were all crammed into a giant pit, it was like the cauldron of ten thousand yin in the eighteen layers of hell had suddenly been overturned, revealing itself to the human world. The torment and pain of purgatory were fully displayed, and the surging resentment was about to form a towering pillar, transforming into rolling black clouds!
“This is the Dark Abyss,” Mo Fan muttered to himself, looking down.
Even Mo Fan felt a shiver of fear.
Zhang Xiaohou’s fists tightened slightly, but he did not step back.
In a place like this, any normal person would be absolutely terrified!
Anyone with trypophobia would likely have been scared to death by this sight… Describing it as a hellish furnace is truly apt. The most extreme evil spirits, demons, and monsters in this world were piled together like a garbage incinerator, forming a sea and a mountain!
Tens of thousands of roars, howls, screams, and cries mixed together, piercing the soul, as if that pain had already crawled all over his body!
Honestly, in a place like this, no normal person would ever want to jump.
This was absolutely terrifying to the extreme.
But then again, he was sure he wouldn't die, so what was there to be afraid or worried about?
Gritting his teeth, Mo Fan directly jumped down.
Zhang Xiaohou did not hesitate—
He followed immediately.
