Although the Floating Wanderer King had become weak after losing the support of its race, it still possessed a keen perception towards mental type life forms. This allowed everyone to avoid powerful mental type life forms. As for those that they were unable to avoid, they hid their auras and allowed Big Bai to release some of his power, causing him to be mistaken as one of his kind.
After travelling for roughly 4-5 days, they were finally able to safely see the passageway to the 4th layer. What appeared before them was a gigantic screen of light, boundless and so tall that they couldn't see its top. Water-like ripples undulated on the surface of the screen, giving it an extremely mysterious appearance.
After passing through, everyone turned around to take a look, only to see that the screen of light had already disappeared. In the pitch-black wilderness, they unexpectedly saw the ant nest that they had entered from the 2nd layer, roughly 4-5 kilometres behind them.
"The so-called 3rd layer should be a purely illusory world that exists between the 2nd and 4th layers."
"We've only walked 4-5 kilometres in the past few days?" Sister Hong was somewhat astonished.
"Perhaps the time we've travelled is just a misconception of the illusory world." Gong Yi shook his head. "Naturally, there's a possibility that it's not. It's much more complicated than what we've imagined. There are too many unsolved mysteries in the cursed lands."
Looking into the distance, they discovered that the true wilderness of the 4th layer was actually more or less the same as what they had seen in the illusory world of the 3rd layer.
This was truly a blessing in disguise. Gong Yi had an astonishing memory. The person who had escaped from the 4th layer had told him about the situation in the 4th layer. Originally, the description was rather vague. However, with the information from the illusory world, it allowed Gong Yi to form a clear living map of the 4th layer in his mind.
The so-called exit wasn't far from them, roughly a distance of roughly 5 kilometres. Under normal circumstances, it would only take 10 minutes. However, no one dared to be the slightest bit careless in this situation.
Sister Hong's early warning senses had regained their effectiveness, allowing her to immediately discover the threats coming from all directions. A rare solemn expression appeared on her face, with even hints of fear appearing on it. There were too many tyrannical life forms. Just by following the direction that Gong Yi had pointed out, they had already sensed at least 7 to 8 massive threats within the short 5 kilometre journey. Furthermore, the degree of threat was far greater than the 2-headed Cerberus they had encountered earlier.
None of them dared to force their way through. In fact, they didn't even have the slightest intention of finding out exactly what kind of monsters they were.
Fatty's spiritual concealment was already useless in this situation, as it could only be used against dimensional life forms that specialized in spiritual attacks. As for ordinary life forms, they relied more on their aura, smell, perception, and sight. Everyone smeared quite a bit of the putrid mud on the ground on their bodies. Although it wasn't of much use, it was enough to conceal their auras.
Gong Yi's' map 'and Sister Hong's' radar 'worked together. They walked and stopped along the way, or took large detours, trying their best to avoid the areas with the greatest threat. Despite the short distance of five kilometres, they actually took an entire day to walk.
Although the dimensional life forms present here were terrifying, there weren't too many of them. Furthermore, they weren't too densely packed together. Furthermore, they seemed to have their own territories. As long as he could find the gaps between these territories, he wouldn't attract any trouble.
The only problem now was the exit. Everyone was no longer in the mood to chat. It was not only for the sake of concealment but also because they were nervous.
The closer they got to the exit, the more nervous they became. It was either a path of survival or a path of death!
Does the spatial node still exist? When the fugitive discovered it, no one knew how long the spatial node had existed. Now, a few years had passed. Even if the spatial nodes that had appeared on Earth were extremely stable, they would only have about this' lifespan '.
Furthermore, even if the spatial node still existed, would there be any powerful dimensional life forms guarding it? After all, it was a spatial node. The dense dimensional energy would easily attract various life forms in the process of evolution, just like the mutated spider that Wang Zhong had encountered in the Disorderly Burial Lake region.
Everyone had already walked this far, risking their lives to get here. There was no longer any path of retreat. If these problems really appeared, only ice-cold despair would await everyone.
Gong Yi's palms couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. However, his heart was filled with excitement. To a gambler, the most enjoyable thing in the world wasn't winning or losing, but the instant when the cards were revealed on the gambling table.
After walking and stopping for an entire day, they finally reached the vicinity of the exit.
It was located in a low valley. From afar, they could see a strange glow radiating from the left side of the valley. It radiated with a gloomy radiance, appearing rather eye-catching in this pitch-black world. Furthermore, it was permeated with slivers of cool energy.
This was the elemental energy, or rather, the elemental aura, of the dimensional world. It was the complete opposite of the dark attribute energy present in the cursed lands, seemingly unable to spread out from the powerful dark world. At the point where light and darkness collided, sparks of electricity would occasionally flash out, appearing just like the clash of two opposing energies.
From the looks of it, this spatial node was already considerably 'weak', as the dimensional energy radiating from it was exceedingly weak. Under the corrosion of the powerful dark energy present in the cursed lands, it was akin to a flickering candle that could be extinguished at any moment.
However, it still existed.
"It's still here!"
If not for the danger lurking in all directions, everyone would have jumped up in excitement. Although they were in a precarious situation, it was too rare for a spatial node to exist for so many years. In everyone's eyes, this wasn't just a spatial node, but also the hope of their future.
All the worry and apprehension they had felt along the way instantly dissipated, while everyone's taut faces started to relax. However, the next moment, the smiles on their faces froze.
In the valley roughly 700 to 800 metres away from the spatial node, a strange humanoid creature was lying on its side.
It was naked, yet it was impossible to distinguish its gender, as it did not possess any of the sexual characteristics that humans should have. It had three heads, though its facial features were exceedingly similar to humans. However, it had a fierce-looking face. Even with its eyes closed, it gave off an aura of might. It also had six incomparably thick and sturdy arms. The first two were similar to humans, while the other four stretched out from the back of its neck, wrapping around each other like a pillow for its head and neck, while snoring thunderously.
