Thinking back to the scene before they left, Mu Qian Fan's heart felt like it was being sliced by a knife. The brothers he had been so familiar with, had now left him forever.
Mu Qian Fan and his brothers had always relied on accepting commissions from others to get by and they would often go out to hunt Spirit Beasts to earn spirit stones. They would also take on commissions to escort merchant caravans and they had met He Chang Le because he had previously escorted some of the Chan Lin Auction House's goods.
Until one day, a man came to them and asked them to go to the Heaven's End Cliff to investigate the situation at the bottom of the cliff. He promised that if they were able to find out the situation at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff and draw out a complete map, he would reward them handsomely.
The reward was so high that they would not have to worry about food for the rest of their lives.
Although the Heaven's End Cliff had a reputation for being a dangerous place, but very few people had actually been there. Many people did not even know where the Heaven's End Cliff was. Although they knew that the Heaven's End Cliff could be very dangerous, but in order to earn that sum of money, and to ensure that their families would not have to worry about food and clothing, Mu Qian Fan and his brothers finally decided to accept the commission.
The man was rather generous with his money, paying them a deposit of two hundred thousand taels at the beginning. After receiving the money, Mu Qian Fan and his brothers were even more motivated and they set off towards the Heaven's End Cliff. The man gave them a map, and on it, the location of the Heaven's End Cliff was clearly shown.
With the help of the map, the group of them travelled for half a month before they reached the Heaven's End Cliff.
The Heaven's End Cliff was situated within a mountain range and the cliff was high up. Just to get close to the cliff's edge, they had to traverse through layers of dense forest, where many Spirit Beasts roamed. Mu Qian Fan and his companions relied on their own experience to weave their way through the treacherous forest. When they reached the Heaven's End Cliff, they finally understood why the cliff was named the Heaven's End Cliff.
One side of the Heaven's End Cliff looked like it had been sliced apart by a sharp blade and the cliff was covered in a thick white mist. Looking at it from afar, it looked like a sea of clouds had been sliced out of thin air, with no end in sight.
Initially, Mu Qian Fan and his companions were shocked by what they saw, but they quickly remembered the mission they had come here for. They had prepared a few hundred meter long iron rope, and they had even brought along chains that could lengthen the length of the rope. Everything was well prepared.
It took them a few days just to get down from the cliff, during which they hung on ropes to rest and eat.
By the time they reached the bottom of the cliff, all of them were exhausted and could not move for a long time.
"What is it like at the bottom of the Heaven's End Cliff?" Qiao Chu was getting more and more nervous as he listened.
Mu Qian Fan's eyes drooped as he stared fixedly at his hands that were resting on the table. Fresh blood slowly seeped through the bandages, and the thin trickles of fresh blood were especially eye-catching.
"I don't know..."
"What?" Qiao Chu was taken aback.
Mu Qian Fan's voice was filled with despair and fear. "The bottom of the cliff was shrouded in mist and we could not see the bottom of the cliff at all. Anything beyond a two-meter radius would be completely obscured by the mist. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for us to map out the entire bottom of the cliff. Just as we were moving forward, we discovered that there was a bottomless swamp beneath our feet …"
The swamp hidden in the fog was easily overlooked by people. Only when they stepped into it would they realize the impending danger.
