The Abyss was extremely vast. Even though it was only in a part of the universe, it occupied more than a quarter of the entire universe.
Apart from the universe and the great world that Lin Huang and the rest were in, it was connected to countless large and small worlds and space-times.
Lin Huang and the rest had no idea where exactly they were after escaping from the Demonic Bug Maze.
"Lan Ling, check if there are any monsters nearby."
Virtuoso had asked Lan Ling to do the scouting not because Divine Telekinesis was ineffective, but because nobody would actively use their Divine Telekinesis in the Abyss.
Outsiders who had entered the Abyss were not the only ones who did so. Abyss natives usually did not use their Divine Telekinesis either.
This was because once one used Divine Telekinesis, it was equivalent to exposing one's location.
It would be fine if the Divine Telekinesis user's scouting range was weaker than them. However, if there were monsters more powerful than them, they might be targeted by their Divine Telekinesis and become prey.
In the Abyss, there was no shortage of powerhouses.
Even lord-level powerhouses would not simply use their Divine Telekinesis here. They would only use other scouting techniques that were difficult to detect.
Meanwhile, Lan Ling's curse was relatively uncommon. Not many people knew about it, so it was most suitable for scouting. This had been proven in the Demonic Bug Maze earlier.
However, her curse's scouting ability was strong in concealment; it had no advantage in terms of scouting range.
Now that the Maze was no longer interfering, the curse's scouting range and accuracy had returned to normal. However, it could only detect movements within a radius of approximately three hundred kilometers.
Although the scouting range was still not large, it was better than using Divine Telekinesis and being discovered by powerful Abyssal creatures.
Soon, Lan Ling released her curse and began scouting.
As her lips moved, the incantations on her arms quickly seeped into the ground.
Approximately two to three minutes later, she finally opened her eyes.
"How is it?" Tu Tong was the first who could not help asking.
"There are Furies within three hundred kilometers. No other monsters were discovered." Lan Ling stood up slowly and looked at Virtuoso.
"There are Furies within three hundred kilometers …" Virtuoso frowned slightly.
"Could it be the Disaster Abyss Land?" Saber9 turned his head and asked Virtuoso.
"It's possible, but we can't be completely sure." Virtuoso nodded slightly. "After all, there are many areas in the Abyss where negative emotions, big and small, accumulate. Although there aren't many places that can gather Wrath of this scale, it might not necessarily be the Abyss Land. "
"Let's walk around and see. If there are other large-scale Disasters around, we should be pretty close to the mark." Saber9 was still very certain of his speculation.
Lin Huang could understand the conversation between the both of them.
Although it was his first time entering the Abyss, he had done his homework and knew what kind of place the Disaster Abyss Land was.
The Abyss of Disaster was a place where a large amount of negative emotions gathered.
In this region, there were large numbers of creatures contaminated by extreme negative emotions and abyssal energy, known as calamities.
Wrath was a type of calamity.
This kind of monster was usually the result of Abyssal lifeforms being polluted by anger.
They had huge bodies and were blood-red in color. Their entire bodies burned with rage, and those flames could even infect other creatures, causing them to fall into a state of rage and madness.
Other than that, the Furies' strength lay in close combat. They were extremely strong. Moreover, if they couldn't be killed in one hit, every time they were attacked, it would make them angrier and stronger.
For many people, this was a very difficult monster to deal with.
However, Lin Huang and the rest did not panic.
This was because these monsters were lone travelers. Although there were many of them within a 300-kilometer radius, they would not hunt in groups.
This alone made them much less dangerous than the bug beasts in the Demonic Bug Maze.
Under Lan Ling's guidance, Lin Huang and the rest sped all the way and soon encountered their first Furies.
It was also Lin Huang's first time seeing a creature like the Furies.
This monster was more than 20 meters tall and had a humanoid form. It stood upright on both feet, like a red giant. Its color resembled that of a steamed crayfish. The surface of its body burned with a layer of dark red flames.
Unlike the giant, its head was not that of a human's, but that of an aberrant species. It was swollen, huge, and covered in abscesses. Moreover, it had three arms of different lengths and thicknesses.
This was a Furie that had been transformed from a humanoid aberrant species. It still retained 70 to 80 percent of its previous form.
As Lin Huang was observing this monster, which he was seeing for the first time, the Furie saw them as well.
It let out a furious roar and exerted strength in its legs, charging directly toward Lin Huang and the rest.
Lin Huang was about to attack, but Saber9, who was next to him, was even faster.
Saber9 performed a hand seal and pointed two fingers at the oncoming Furie. The sword gleam in front of him turned into a golden beam of light and shot out.
It left a trail of light in the air like a meteor, piercing through the Furie's huge, swollen head in an instant.
The Furie's body suddenly stopped, then it collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
The moment it fell to the ground, Lin Huang could even feel the ground beneath his feet shaking.
After killing the second-rank heavenly god-level Furie in front of him with a single attack, Saber9 sheathed his sword and glanced discreetly in Lin Huang's direction.
Meanwhile, the dark red flames on the Furie's fallen carcass were quickly extinguished. Its physical body also began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a cloud of dark red mist.
Lin Huang's eyes were filled with surprise when he saw this. "What's this mist?"
"It's a manifestation of anger," Virtuoso explained from one side.
Emotions could not be touched or seen in the material world. However, in the Abyss, they had condensed and manifested into something tangible.
This was the first time Lin Huang had heard of something like this, and he was rather surprised.
"It's best if you don't come into contact with this manifestation of negative emotions. If you do, you might lose control of your emotions if you're lucky, or you might even be contaminated and turn into a Disaster if you're unlucky, "Virtuoso added.
"Can't we use it?" Lin Huang was still rather curious.
"There's no need to. These emotional powers have completely merged with Abyssal energy. Abyssal creatures have to be extremely cautious when absorbing it. Any carelessness can turn into a Disaster. Not to mention creatures outside the Abyss, "Saber9 explained from one side. "Only Disasters of the same type can completely absorb something like this and use it to strengthen themselves. To other creatures, it's a highly toxic substance. "
"Alright then …" Lin Huang was clearly rather disappointed after hearing this.
However, Virtuoso noticed this as well. "If you have a container, you can collect some of it. However, never release it in an unenclosed environment. It'll automatically contaminate all living things around it. It's condensed into a ball now because it's just returned to its original form after losing its host. It's currently in an inert state. "
"It's that dangerous?!" Lin Huang had thought that this thing was just a cloud of mist. He had never thought that this state would only be temporary.
"A ball like this is enough to contaminate the entire planet," Saber9 added from one side.
Lin Huang could not help but feel rather speechless.
However, he could not suppress his curiosity. He retrieved a container and collected a wisp of mist.
