"Sir Max, I think we're lost. We came to this cave more than three hours ago …"
A Warlock with a Bloodline Transplant with tiny scales on his cheeks and faint mana fluctuations on the surface of his body said with a somewhat unsightly expression.
Wheat did not say anything as he carefully observed the cave in front of him. Indeed, it was exactly the same as one of the caves they had come to before. Whether it was the size or arrangement of the mana crystals, or even the size, color, and orientation of some of the more obvious mana crystals, they were exactly the same. The traces left behind by the giant worms were also exactly the same …
Most importantly, Max saw a piece of mana crystal that was missing a corner. That piece of mana crystal had been deliberately smashed by someone before, so it was impossible for the arrangement to be exactly the same …
After a dozen seconds, Max's expression became somewhat grave.
"We're indeed lost. We've been here before, what did you guys find?"
There were more than a dozen Warlocks or Bloodline Transplants in the surroundings, and each of them more or less had some special ability. But now, none of them discovered that they were lost …
"The gravity here is very normal, so there's only one possibility, and that is that there's a problem with the direction of the gravity here. But every time it changes, it's in some turns or at the entrance of caves and passages. It's very difficult to discover the changes here. I think that the caves and passages here might be caused by this chaotic gravity …"
"There's wind here, which means that this place is still connected to other places. We've been traveling in the opposite direction of the wind all the way here. Maybe the circulation of the wind here is different from what we expected …"
"The traces and odor left behind by the giant worms are also the same. Those giant worms themselves can't tell the direction here, so how did they travel underground …"
One by one, the Mages with Bloodline Transplants expressed their opinions. None of them found anything out of the ordinary. If they found something out of the ordinary, if there was a sign of getting lost, someone would have noticed it. Unfortunately, no one had noticed it yet …
Max left a mark at each entrance of the cave and chose an entrance that he hadn't chosen before.
"Let's keep going. If we continue to stay here, we won't be able to leave at all. We have to confirm that the direction leads to the surface. If we can't find this direction, we won't be able to open a passage even if we want to …"
Max was very calm. He was the leader here, so he couldn't show any signs of panic or lack of confidence, especially in this situation. For some reason, Max thought of Lin Yun …
'Mafa Merlin definitely knows about the situation here. His understanding of this plane is definitely beyond our imagination. He knows a lot of things here, so he definitely knows that the closer we get to the surface, the more chaotic the gravity will become, and it'll be easy to get lost here.
'We have already been traveling underground for at least three to four days … No, it might be even longer … The flow of time here is somewhat abnormal. It has been so long, yet we haven't found a single trace of Mafa Merlin's group. This is impossible.
Therefore, they must have reached another level, or should I say, they must have reached a deeper level, while we are still circling around the same level.
'Sh * t, if not for that idiot Sunny and Sheldon, we would still be together with Mafa Merlin. Even if we couldn't get that powerful Transcendent Bloodline Potion for the time being, we wouldn't have gotten lost here.
'Now, we're completely lost here. Who knows if there will be any other situations. Apart from magic crystals, there's nothing else here. Those underground monsters are nowhere to be seen, too. What a quiet and strange place …'
'The Crown of Thorns has changed. They've lost themselves in the pursuit of power. They've forgotten the oath they made when the Crown of Thorns was created …'
A bitter smile and helplessness could be seen at the corner of Max's mouth as he looked at George. Regret was like a poison corroding his heart.
After such a long time, George's bloodline was still intact. This meant that the effect of the potion was a lot better than expected. Even if the initial effect dissipated, the potion itself would have a long-term effect, making George's unstable bloodline a lot more stable. Even the fusion rate slightly increased.
One was a temporary increase in bloodline stability, just like a potion used to treat injuries. The effect would only last for a short time, but even so, it would be a milestone for Warlocks with Bloodline Transplants, it would be a life-saving thing.
But if it had a permanent effect, then the nature would be completely different. One would be equivalent to a healing potion, while the other would be equivalent to a body strengthening potion. The difference between the two would be at least ten times the price of the same rank potion in an alchemy shop, and the price of the better ones might be a few hundred times higher.
To Warlocks and Mages with Bloodline Transplants, this gap was at least an era apart.
Max's expression was calm, but he was inwardly regretting. Unfortunately, he couldn't say these things for the time being. He could only wait until this matter was over.
After the members of the Crown of Thorns discovered that they were lost and started looking for a way out, it was a lot easier to find the right path. After all, each of these people had some special abilities. Being able to be brought here by Max was a very special thing in itself.
On the other side, Sunny, who was chasing after Lin Yun, was also thoroughly lost. Unlike Max, who was preoccupied, Sunny quickly discovered that she was lost. Unlike the others, Sunny summoned a large number of Shrieking Specters and had them spread out, allowing them to grasp the range of a dozen caves at any time. Knowing the map of the surroundings in advance made it a lot easier to choose, at least they wouldn't be completely lost.
However, Sunny also lost track of Lin Yun. In this complicated underground, it was like a huge complex ant nest of tunnels and caves. Coupled with the changing gravity, everything became complicated.
A few days passed, and the underground became even more spacious and strange. Apart from those caves and tunnels, all the underground creatures seemed to have disappeared. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the giant worm army or some other reason, but the underground became very quiet, deathly quiet.
So many days passed, and Lin Yun's mood became heavier. Counting the time, at least 20 days had passed, but he still hadn't reached his destination in the depths of the underground. The situation of repeating the same path had already occurred in the past few days.
Every time they arrived at a cave, they had to do a lot of calculations to determine how to choose the next tunnel. At this point, each cave had at least seven or eight entrances. If they chose the wrong one, they might go in a big circle and return to the original place.
Most importantly, they weren't going to the deepest part of the underground, but to a special location. After reaching there, it wouldn't be of much use if they continued to go down. Instead, they would have to move towards a place where the gravity was getting stranger and stranger.
"Merlin, we've already gone around in circles. Haven't we found it yet? Didn't you say you were going to find the monster underground? Only by killing that monster can we truly develop this plane. Isn't that monster level 49? Are you sure you can kill that monster? "
Shawn hugged a Mana Crystal, his stomach bulging as he ate. These days, Shawn was the only one who had the most comfortable time. There were countless Mana Crystals and Mana Crystals here, and they could be eaten as they pleased. Especially after going deep into the ground, the Mana Crystals that appeared were very pure and contained a large amount of mana.
Unfortunately, after staying in this deathly quiet place for so long, Lord Sean was starting to get annoyed.
Lin Yun roused the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to assist in his calculations. Hearing Shawn's words, he put away the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and massaged his swollen head.
"Who said I was going to get rid of that monster? I'm only letting it sleep, it's enough as long as it doesn't wake up. "
Disdain could be seen on Shawn's face.
"Merlin, I know you are very powerful and your alchemy skills are very formidable, but against a level 48 or even a level 49 monster, all methods are useless. We will all be finished as long as the other side wakes up.
"Forget it, you can look for it yourself. Send me back to the Demiplane, I feel like I've eaten too much recently, I need to sleep to properly digest …"
Lin Yun shook his head.
"No, from the moment we entered this plane, we can no longer open a Demiplane or a Planar Path. As long as a Planar Path appears, even if it's a Demiplane, that monster will wake up. We can't let that monster wake up, or things will become very troublesome …"
Shawn froze, apparently recalling that Lin Yun hadn't opened a Demiplane since entering this plane.
At this time, a Shrieking Ghost floated out of a cave in the distance. After seeing Lin Yun, that Shrieking Ghost let out a sharp shriek and sent a shockwave towards Lin Yun.
Shawn instantly rushed out, a claw directly piercing into that Shrieking Ghost's body. A wisp of strange soul power appeared and the Shrieking Ghost's body was torn to pieces before dissipating. As for Shawn, there was a wisp of very weak soul power in his hand.
"Hey, Merlin, look at what I caught, this is a Shrieking Ghost summoned by that guy who fused with a Hell lifeform's bloodline."
Lin Yun slightly frowned. If this underground space was divided into layers, their destination would be the fifth floor, and they were currently on the fourth floor. The Crown of Thorns' people should have gotten lost on the third floor. Without a way to calculate their direction, the probability of reaching the fourth floor was very small.
But after seeing this Shrieking Ghost, especially since there was only one Shrieking Ghost, Lin Yun suddenly understood.
This was a Shrieking Ghost summoned by Sunny. A large number of Shrieking Ghosts were like an army of giant insects. The huge number of Shrieking Ghosts made it so that the giant insects didn't care about getting lost. Their huge numbers were enough to occupy hundreds of caves at the same time. Those giant insects clearly couldn't tell their direction, but they would never get lost.
And Sunny used the same method. Those Shrieking Ghosts were her tentacles. These tentacles spread out and extended to a dozen or even a few dozen caves. Not getting lost wouldn't be that difficult. Moreover, there was only one Shrieking Ghost here, which meant that only one Shrieking Ghost entered this passage.
The moment that Shrieking Ghost appeared, Sunny definitely knew where this place was. She even saw everything that the Shrieking Ghost saw through that trace of soul power.
"Merlin, this is a trace of that bitch's soul power …"
Just as Lord Sean was halfway through his sentence, the strand of soul power suddenly dissipated.
Lord Sean was instantly enraged.
"Motherf * cker, this bitch actually wants to curse me through this strand of spiritual energy. Damn it, a bastard who has fused with the bloodline of a low-level hellish creature dares to curse the great Lord Shaun. Even the Overlord of Hell wouldn't dare to curse Lord Shaun, this idiot …"
Lin Yun frowned as he comforted the enraged Shawn.
"Alright, Lord Sean, what did you find? Don't say that you didn't find anything. That idiot actually dared to store a trace of soul power in that Shrieking Ghost's body. How dare he? "
Lord Sean looked unhappy. As a Soul Walker, a creature that specialized in playing with souls, he had actually been cursed by someone.
"That idiot is in big trouble. She actually dared to provoke the great Lord Sean. She's done for. Apart from the backlash of the curse, her soul has also been illuminated by the power of my Eye of Calamity. She's done for.
Moreover, that fellow seems to be alone. She doesn't seem to be with the people from the Crown of Thorns. Merlin, let's go get rid of that annoying fellow. "
In an instant, Lin Yun's expression turned a little unsightly.
"Let's go. This place is too close to our destination. Perhaps our destination isn't too far from here, and we just haven't found the right path.
If we fight here, we'll definitely awaken that monster. When that happens, we'll be in big trouble. Ignore that crazy woman. What if she's like that crazy woman from last time and doesn't want to live anymore? She'll drag us down with her … "
Thinking about that crazy woman called Amy from last time, Lin Yun felt a headache. Lord Sean's expression also seemed to be having a headache.
Thinking about what happened last time, Lin Yun felt a lingering fear. Who would have thought that a person who had always been fanning the flames in the dark would actually be crazy enough to sacrifice her soul to a Devil? This was even crazier than committing suicide.
Sacrificing one's soul to a powerful Devil Overlord was difficult to die. It would be a miracle if the Devil Overlord didn't suddenly become kindhearted after being tortured for thousands of years.
For some reason, that Devil Overlord from last time suddenly stopped the summoning and even spat out the soul that was about to be delivered. That was a very inconceivable thing.
Lin Yun still couldn't understand how those crafty, treacherous, and malicious Devil Overlords, who could be praised with all kinds of malicious words, could do such a thing. Only a Pig Beastman would do such a thing.
Those crazy women could do anything. They would definitely drag others down with them if they didn't want to live anymore.
Now that they were deep underground, it would be very easy to awaken that monster. Lin Yun wasn't willing to take the risk.
Lin Yun led Xiuban and the others forward. They passed through a winding passage and crossed a dozen caves. On the other side, Sunny was holding her head and letting out a blood-curdling scream.
The backlash of the curse was a lot more frightening than Sean had expected. Black blood was seeping out of Sunny's eyes, ears, and nostrils. Wisps of soul power were leaking out of Sunny's body. Her soul was like a bucket with a small hole poked through it. Her soul power kept flowing through that small hole, and she simply couldn't stop it.
She cursed Sean, but suffered the backlash of the curse. Moreover, Sean's Eye of Calamity directly used that wisp of soul power as a medium to illuminate her soul. Troublesome things were yet to come.
Anything related to luck could be regarded as the arrangement of fate. After Sir Shawn's Eye of Calamity and Eye of Misfortune fused, their power already exceeded their original limits. Even the original Evil Dragon's Eye of Calamity and Eye of Misfortune were two separate eyes. The living Evil Dragon simply couldn't fuse them, and after dying, their eyes were dug out and refined into separate Magic Tools.
If he wanted to fuse the Eye of Calamity and the Eye of Misfortune into the Eye of Calamity, he would have to fuse it with a living being, and he would have to be able to control the Eye of Calamity. Only someone like Lord Sean could successfully fuse it.
A long time ago, there was a legend that the fate of any creature that was gazed upon by the Eye of Calamity would change. No one knew when a calamity would descend upon them, but this was only a legend. No one knew the truth of this matter, because it had never happened before …
Sean himself didn't know what would happen if the gaze of the Eye of Calamity shone on a lifeform's soul. Sean only felt that Sunny would suffer a bit, and Lin Yun also felt that Sunny would at most suffer a bit from the backlash of the curse.
No one expected Sunny to be so miserable. In the spacious cave, Sunny held her head like a heart-wrenching banshee. The painful and mournful screams lasted for no less than half an hour. Sunny held her head and kept rolling on the ground in pain, trying to use any method to alleviate the pain of her soul.
After half an hour of painful wailing, the hole on the surface of Sunny's soul started slowly healing. The wound on her soul healed, and the pain from the depths of her soul slowly weakened before thoroughly disappearing. But Sunny's body was still twitching unconsciously.
