Chapter 518: Seeing the Dark Canal
Jack zoomed over the landscape. Lush jungles had given way to an endless blue ocean filled with all sorts of wondrous creatures. They’d caught glimpses. Mermaids, telepathic fish selling corals, snakes as thin as a finger and a mile long. Jack had even witnessed a monster as large as a mountain skip over the water like a carp. This was certainly not a low-level area.
But it wasn’t at Jack’s level, either. The three easily flew over the ocean, enjoying the breeze while occasionally fending off attacks.
“I wonder how a canal exists in the ocean,” Starhair said. “I thought they connected bodies of water across land.”
“I’m sure it will be something equally majestic and stupid,” Jack replied, calmly zooming over the water.
Their destination wasn’t hard to find. After Brock pointed it out, they’d developed a feel for the Space Monster World’s energy circulation. There was a faint current of energy coming from the core of this world—the Dark Canal. This current was strongest here, but it could be felt everywhere, even in the outer provinces and the inhospitable zone.
What could create such a phenomenon, Jack had no idea.
The more they followed the energy current to its source, the denser the ambient Dao became. By now, it was multiple times denser than when they first entered this world. Even some weaker B-Grades would have trouble flying here.
The monsters present were accordingly strong. Plenty were at the middle B-Grade, with the occasional late or peak B-Grade. They hadn’t run into an A-Grade monster yet, thankfully, but this explained why B-Grade cores had been so common at the auction. Maybe the strongest space monsters came to this area to hunt.
It also made Jack wonder. If the monsters here were so strong, what about the ones in the Dark Canal?
