No matter what era it was, mankind's exploration of the unknown was endless.
Before the emergence of magic, people had already begun to study the Abyss.
— Martial artists who were immeasurably confident in their own abilities, adventurous explorers, bold merchants, and fanatical researchers had all turned their attention to the other side of the rift. The Abyss that most ordinary people paled at the mention of was a new world filled with endless possibilities in their eyes.
Unfortunately, so far, no one who had entered the Abyss had returned to the Dawn Continent. No one knew what they had seen or what had happened to them.
The closest one was the Tulip Family's joint operation more than 90 years ago. The humans joined hands with the dwarves, elves, and beastmen. They each sent three Grade 9 experts to form a twelve-man adventurer team to explore the Abyss. However, the result was quite shocking. Even with such a luxurious equipment, the expedition team still failed to return.
Since then, there were fewer stubborn people. After all, even a group of level-9 masters was like a meat bun to a dog, and other people had to think twice. If they simply wanted to commit suicide, there were better options. They didn't have to plunge into the Abyssal Chasm.
Rob said to Lolo, "Although the environment in the Abyss is harsh, the Tulip Family's joint operation team is also quite strong. Even if a group of level-9 masters were attacked fiercely as soon as they entered, they should be able to resist for a while and then retreat. So, it's very likely that they left their original position after passing through the fissure."
"You mean, the Abyssal Chasm has the same effect as a teleportation array?"
"Yes. That's the only way to explain why they couldn't return the way they came." Rob tossed a freshly polished wooden knife to Lolo. "Take this. You can avoid being teleported later."
The girl caught the wooden knife and was surprised to see the strange runes on it that were a combination of secret skills, magic, and divine patterns. "Ah, is this what you've been doing these days?"
Rob had been making the small wooden knife for a long time, almost at the same time as Lolo's research. The girl had always thought that Rob was just bored and carving something to kill time. Only now did she know that Rob had been preparing to go to the Abyss for a long time, and now there was only the finishing touches left.
Rob called Bevinadet over. After absorbing most of the energy from the mysterious treasure, this beautiful bird had undergone a great change. Her body had shrunk, and the color of her feathers had gradually turned from blood red to silver. At the same time, the only spell slot on her body had also evolved from Eye of Enchantment to Eternal Paradise. The latter was a very rare ninth-grade spiritual spell.
This kind of thing was quite rare. The evolution of magic beasts might awaken new spell slots, but the original spell slots generally wouldn't change. However, what Rob paid more attention to was the change in Bevinadet's mana reserve after the evolution. If Bevinadet's mana reserve was equivalent to two ninth-grade magicians before, then it was now comparable to the entire council.
Such a terrifying level of mana reserve was unheard of even among Bevinadet's race. Not only did this beautiful bird not show signs of exploding like before, but it was also refreshed. The secret treasure that Matata left on the seventh floor had obviously modified its body to a certain extent.
The biggest problem in exploring the Abyss was mana consumption. Due to the different environment, it was difficult to mobilize magical elements in the Abyss. Not only would it increase the consumption of mana, it would also be difficult for magicians to effectively replenish their mana in the surroundings. However, with this magical pet, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor no longer had to worry about this problem.
Half a day later, two people and one bird stood in front of the Abyssal Crack again. Lolo took a deep breath and took a step forward.
It was difficult to describe the feeling of entering the Abyssal Crack with words. The transition to a different world brought about a change in all the rules, including gravity. Even if one had a certain degree of mental preparation, whether it was physiology or spirit, they would still involuntarily be confused.
The girl vaguely felt a strong suction force, as if it was trying to pull her out of this space. However, at the crucial moment, the small wooden knife that someone gave her played a role. The lines on it lit up and resisted the suction force, so that she was not pulled away.
Luo Luo opened her eyes and found that she was standing on a small island. However, rather than calling it an island, it was less than half an acre in size. Furthermore, it was still moving.
Lolo's first feeling was scorching. There were no stars in the sky of the Abyss World, but there were some glowing insects swimming in the rock walls. They provided almost all the light in the Abyss World. With these light sources, Lolo also saw the dark red river under her feet.
At first glance, it looked like blood plasma, but the hot air and sulfur smell that assaulted her face all confirmed its true identity. It was a flowing magma, and the islands of different sizes were stones floating in the magma.
"Is this the Abyss?" Lolo raised her eyes and looked at the monsters on the shore. They were densely packed, and she could not see the end of them at a glance. It made her scalp tingle. They were all looking up at the eye-like crack in the sky.
There were constantly monsters jumping onto the floating stones, trying to get close to the crack in the center of the magma. However, because they did not control their strength well, or because other monsters were squeezing against them, they fell into the magma in despair. However, the monsters who were lucky enough to survive did not seem to hear the wails and screams. They were still stubbornly jumping between the islands and moving toward the eye in the sky.
"The most extreme environment creates the most cruel competition. Yes, this is the Abyss," replied Rob. In order to smoothly pass through the Abyssal Chasm, he had already canceled the Invisibility spell on his body. However, the group of monsters acted as if they did not see them. At this moment, all they could see was the chasm above their heads. As an outsider, it might be difficult to understand their obsession.
Countless monsters rushed there, but in the end, only less than 1% of them could successfully jump into the crack. However, it was this less than 1% success rate that drove these monsters to go crazy like moths to a flame.
Lolo closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened them and said happily, "I can feel the fluctuations of Origin Force. The key to closing the crack is indeed on this side."
