Chapter 333: Is It Really All Right?
After traveling south for about two hundred kilometers, the scenery before their eyes had unknowingly transformed completely.
The once gloomy sky had been dyed with a faint blood-red hue at some point. The trees along the road were all dead, and where rivers once flowed, only winding black waterways remained.
Twisted figures wandered the distant wilderness; it was impossible to tell if they were human or beast. They staggered aimlessly, letting out hoarse howls that did not sound human.
The team stepped beneath this crimson canopy.
An oppressive, apocalyptic weight pressed heavily on everyone's hearts. No one spoke, and even the horses grew quiet.
Altina, who had been circling in the sky as a crow, slowly descended. She folded her wings and shifted back into her human form.
Her voice lacked its usual composure, replaced instead by a hint of unmistakable shock and bewilderment.
“The further south we go, the more terrifying the sky becomes...”
“I just saw that a hundred kilometers ahead, everything is already blood-red. The ground is crawling with crimson veins and tumors; there’s almost no normal living vegetation or animals left.”
