Although the entire journey wasn't particularly long, it still took them two to three days to complete the journey. Staying in the underground caverns for such a long period of time, coupled with the severe lack of oxygen and the pungent smell in the caverns, even a man made of steel would complain that he couldn't stand it. As for Sister Hong, she was practically complaining along the way.
They could feel that they had already reached the end of the slope. Although they were still traversing through the cave, the final stretch of the journey was rather flat. The pungent smell in the cave had clearly dissipated, proving that there was an air vent nearby that was connected to the outside world.
Realizing that they were about to reach the end of this journey, Sister Hong asked about the possible dangers that could appear in the 3rd layer, as well as the approximate levels of dimensional life forms.
"There isn't much information about the 3rd layer from the information. With his strength, he's already extremely lucky to be able to reach this point." Gong Yi shook his head. "Even the military only managed to occupy the 2nd layer when they advanced. They don't know anything about the 3rd layer."
"However, there's one thing we can be sure of." Gong Yi solemnly said. "The Demonic Demon Legion that attacked the military came from the 3rd layer. The weakest were the Demonic Battle Ants, which were also at the peak of the 3rd rank. As for the other individual Demonic Demon Life Forms, they are at least at the 4th rank, and there are even many intelligent life forms. "
Everyone's expressions turned somewhat solemn, losing some of their original relaxed demeanor. In fact, even without Gong Yi's explanation, they could already guess that they would encounter a 2nd rank 2-headed Demonic Dog easily in the 2nd layer. As they advanced deeper into the 3rd layer, there would only be more dangers.
"It's best if we don't engage in any battles in the 3rd layer. Rely on Sister Hong's warning. Even if we have to take a detour and waste time, we have to avoid anything that we might encounter." Gong Yi paused, before looking towards everyone. "Our lives are ours, and we only have one chance!"
The exit of the passageway was already right in front of them. The outside of the passageway was filled with a faint layer of hazy light, much dimmer than the 2nd layer.
No one was in a hurry to leave. Sister Hong was using her innate talent to carefully probe and sense the unknown dangers outside the passageway.
"It's a very strange feeling." She frowned, appearing somewhat hesitant.
"There seems to be danger, but at the same time, my intuition is rather calm. I don't sense any hostile or offensive existences. This is very contradictory … I've never encountered such a situation before. "
Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment. Sister Hong's intuition had helped them too much along the way, causing everyone to trust it. However, it wasn't working now.
"Is it because the level of danger is too high, so high that your perception is biased?" Gong Yi tried to analyse the situation. This was a very possible situation, just like how Wang Zhong was able to maintain his composure when facing the Sovereign of the Dimensions. However, when he faced Margaret on the second level, he was intimidated by her terrifying pressure. Sometimes, when the disparity in strength was too great, one would lose their instinctive sense of danger.
However, Sister Hong shook her head. "My perception talent is a little special. Such a situation won't happen."
"I'll go out and take a look." Reynolds didn't want to waste any more time here. There was no turning back. Someone had to test the waters, and Reynolds clearly didn't know what it meant to be afraid of death.
"Let's go together. We have to face what we have to face. Life and death are decreed by fate. Be careful."
Carefully walking out of the cave, the outside world was a shimmering world. Unlike the second layer of magma rivers and majestic rift valleys, this place was like a fantasy forest. There were actually many colorful plants growing on the ground. It was completely different from the 'hell scene' that everyone had imagined. Compared to the first layer, it was really like heaven.
"What a beautiful flower." Sister Hong saw a beautiful flower blooming on the grass not far away. It was multicolored, with countless stars sparkling and dancing on its petals, appearing as though it was spreading its seeds.
Gong Yi had also noticed it, and his eyes were filled with interest. However, his attention wasn't on the flower's beauty.
That flower was extremely peculiar, with a dense number of petals blooming in layers. It was a rare and unique species.
"How many petals does it have?" Gong Yi smiled. "Is there anyone who wants to bet on it?"
"Be careful of poison!" On the other side, Reynolds's eyes narrowed as he instinctively sensed danger. Soul Power rippled from his body, and with a push of his fingers, the runic blade was already half-unsheathed.
Little Xin didn't say anything. Instead, she stared at the strange flower with a strange expression, her eyebrows knitted together, while a malevolent expression appeared on her little face.
"Something's wrong!" Within Wang Zhong's Soul Sea, Simba's ears suddenly perked up. Under the situation where Wang Zhong's consciousness wasn't sealed, he was able to sense everything happening in the outside world. However, at this moment, all of the images in the outside world had suddenly disappeared, causing him to lose his senses.
Simba's clown nose had already straightened up, as if he had realised something. "Wang Zhong? Wang Zhong! "
Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong …
"This child can't make it." A doctor and nurse shook their heads. "We've already done everything we can. We've already done our best."
"We can try the newest dimensional magnetic resonance imaging technology."
"His body is too weak, and can't handle it. What's more, this technology is still in the experimental phase … "
"It's better to try everything in a desperate situation than to do nothing and give up." The man's voice rang out from the bedside. "His injuries were caused by the explosion of dimensional energies. Using poison to fight poison should have a certain degree of effect. How could it be any worse than it is now?"
"Even if that's the case … you all know the price of using that equipment. Most family members wouldn't agree to it. Exactly who is this child to you all? " The doctor's voice paused for a moment. Clearly, he understood this man extremely well, as well as some of the hidden rules. With a sigh, he said, "Lao Wang, think it through."
"…" After a few seconds of silence, a female voice rang out. "He's called Wang Zhong."
"He's our son!" The man added, his voice firm and powerful.
His hazy senses gradually dissipated, while the voices of the doctor and his parents gradually faded away. His surroundings turned dark, while loneliness and death enveloped him, causing Wang Zhong to feel incomparably cold.
Everything here was too familiar to him. This was a dark home.
Everything seemed to have just begun.
… …
Unlike the strangeness of the cursed lands, the Federation was currently in a state of prosperity and anticipation.
The outstanding participants of the CHF had been gathered back at Stuart City, where they would enter the Dimensional Blessed Lands that countless people were looking forward to.
The so-called Dimensional Blessed Lands weren't fixed, and were considered to be a kind of dimensional world. Although they were located within the hyperdimension, they would 'run'. Every time they appeared, they would only exist for 3-5 months before disappearing. The next time they appeared, their coordinates might already be thousands of miles away.
