The pitch-black river water was like dark ink, perfectly blending into the sunless underground space.
In the Underdark, although the rest of the underground rivers were also very cold and dark, there were still some glowing aquatic plants as a tool for illumination.
But here, all light seemed to be swallowed up.
The real power of [Night Vision] could only be fully displayed in such a place.
Ma Wen was like a fish in water on the dark river, and they controlled a small boat and went downstream.
Jessica was a Apocalyptic Warlock, so naturally, she could adjust her perception and use other methods to observe the surrounding situation. But because of the special situation of the Abyssal Riverbed, her vision was definitely not as good as Ma Wen's.
At the same time, their bodies were filled with a feeling that they had never felt before.
This feeling made Jessica feel very depressed. In fact, every strong person who came to this place would feel a heartfelt depression.
The depression came from the pressure.
This was the bottom of the plane, and it bore the invisible elemental pressure — if it was a civilian, they would not be able to reach such a deep place, and the most common result was usually fainting halfway down.
Although this pressure could not cause any harm to the legendary strong, it would cause them to feel restless and anxious.
Plus, this place was too quiet.
Except for the crazy sound of flowing water, all other sounds seemed to be swallowed by the demons in the unseen world.
Time seemed to have lost its meaning, they could only feel the water and the air, and everything else was unchanging darkness.
Fortunately, both of them were extremely strong-willed people, otherwise, it would be easy for them to hallucinate in such a situation.
This was already the second day of their journey on the Abyssal Riverbed.
With Ma Wen leading the way, the two smoothly passed through the entire Underdark and came to the extreme of the plane — the Abyssal Riverbed.
The Abyssal Riverbed was very fast, and according to Ma Wen's estimation, they would reach the territory of the Crypt Gods in half a day.
Once they crossed that area, the Andes Snow Mountains would be within reach.
For more than a day, the two only occasionally communicated, and most of the time was spent in silence.
But even so, their minds were still very clear.
Ma Wen sat at the front of the boat, staring coldly at the darkness in the distance.
His thoughts were clearer than ever. In this barren land that no one had ever set foot in, it stood to reason that they would not encounter any other threats that they could not deal with, except for the cave gods.
But for some reason, there was a vague sense of foreboding in his mind.
It was like a jumping little beast, constantly stimulating his eardrums.
It was a sign of danger.
"Danger is normal, but what are these signs?"
The Wisdom talent allowed Ma Wen's thoughts to become unprecedentedly clear. At the same time, it also allowed him to vaguely possess a part of the ability of prophecy.
He could vaguely sense that this danger came from beyond his knowledge.
This made him very confused. Beyond the known? Could there be something more terrifying than the Crypt Gods in this place?
In theory, this was almost impossible.
However, Ma Wen did not let his guard down.
He knew that his arrival had changed the world to a great extent!
If the Eternally Frozen Spring could erupt in advance, then it was not impossible for the Crypt Gods to wake up and recover to their peak state.
In any case, it was not a problem to be fully prepared.
…
In the pitch-black night, Jessica's faint voice suddenly rang out, "I hate the darkness."
Ma Wen could not help but laugh, "Most people are like that."
"The darkness took away our parents," Jessica said calmly, "so I hate it more than most people."
Ma Wen's heart sank.
This was the first time he had heard Jessica tell her story.
Among the three sisters, jESSICA was the eldest, and she was definitely the strongest.
Although she was extremely beautiful, in reality, very few people saw her as a woman.
When a strong person reached a certain level, she would become a label or halo in the eyes of others.
They admired her, feared her, or hated her, but no one understood the real her.
At the end of the day, Jessica should only be a girl in her twenties.
Such a girl had almost single-handedly held up the southwest sky of the continent in this terrifying era. Ma Wen had always felt a faint reverence for Jessica.
But when she said those words, the feeling of awe suddenly disappeared.
In its place was an indescribable heartache.
As a veteran gamer with a wealth of gaming experience, Marvin searched his memory but couldn't find any information about the Destiny sisters' origins!
The three of them seemed to have suddenly jumped out of a stone pit in a rocky mountain. They were so beautiful, refined, and extraordinary.
The word 'parents' did not seem to exist to them.
People naturally believed this. Apocalyptic Warlocks … If they had parents, it should be in this plane, right?
This was what most people guessed.
However, this was not the case.
…
"When they died, Lorry had just been born. It was the most terrifying year of the cataclysm, and Kate was almost assassinated by the river …"
Jessica's voice was calm and steady, as if she was narrating something that had nothing to do with her.
However, Ma Wen heard a trace of sadness and disappointment in her seemingly calm tone.
No matter how strong a girl was, she was still a girl.
So he gently pressed his hand on the back of her hand.
It was cold.
This was not normal!
Ma Wen was shocked.
However, before he could do anything, Jessica suddenly raised her head and stared at Ma Wen. "Do you know?"
"My parents died on a dark night …"
Ma Wen frowned slightly.
There was a trace of uncertainty in the air. He suddenly said, "Don't say it first …"
Who knew that Jessica would decisively cut him off. "Do you want to know how they died?"
Ma Wen's mind paused and he looked at her curiously.
In the darkness, Jessica's eyes were as bright as pearls.
She looked at Ma Wen.
"I was the one who killed them."
In an instant, the air froze and Ma Wen's body shuddered. His thoughts stagnated for a moment.
At that moment, Jessica suddenly jumped up. She grabbed the side of the boat with one hand and threw Ma Wen out.
In the next second, the entire boat was overturned.
Water splashed everywhere.
Jessica's actions were too fast. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Ma Wen froze in the middle of the air and his eyes narrowed.
At some unknown point in time, a figure with four long limbs was lying on the bottom of the boat.
His body was stuck to the bottom of the boat. If Jessica had not noticed it in time, Ma Wen would not have noticed it.
Thinking of that, Ma Wen's face turned ugly.
"What is this thing?"
…
