"Finally some peace!"
In the depths of a sunless swamp, Lin Yi stared at the swamp shrouded in poisonous mist before him, and a hint of unease unwittingly rose within his heart:
"What is it?"
Although Lin Yi also did not know where the source of the unease came from.
But Lin Yi could be sure of one thing.
The source of the unease was right here in this vast swamp.
Since the Jade Qilin and White Tiger did not have Lin Yi’s immunity to all poisons, Lin Yi placed the two little creatures in the War Pet Space.
At this moment, in this poisonous mist where you cannot differentiate between north and south, only Lin Yi remained, making the atmosphere here exceptionally eerie and terrifying.
When Lin Yi turned around to look back, the small town that seemed desolate under the night sky had long disappeared into the poisonous mist.
"Plop~"
Lin Yi suddenly stepped into a soft mud pit, causing his body to suddenly sink.
"Activate Flight Mode."
Then two pairs of wings unfurled majestically from Lin Yi’s back.
Lin Yi vigorously flapped his wings and pulled his body out from the swamp.
Just then, Lin Yi tried to fly upwards continuously, wanting to ascertain the location and surroundings from high in the sky.
Even hoping to fly out of this area covered in poisonous mist.
But soon Lin Yi realized how naive his thought was.
No matter how high Lin Yi flew, the dense poisonous mist persisted around him without showing any signs of thinning.
With this being the case.
Forget about seeing the surroundings clearly, even seeing things five meters away seemed increasingly difficult.
Lin Yi glanced overhead, gritted his teeth:
"I refuse to believe this poisonous mist can extend all the way outside the planet."
Yet the next half-hour passed, and the scenery surrounding Lin Yi remained completely unchanged, even leading Lin Yi to once doubt if he truly was ascending.
After less than another ten minutes of perseverance, Lin Yi finally chose to give up the notion of breaking through this poisonous mist.
Since the view from above was no help in seeing the surroundings, Lin Yi eventually had to land on the ground.
This time, however, Lin Yi did not opt for walking but flapped his wings, skimming close to the ground towards the depths of the swamp.
He flew for who knows how long, even Lin Yi felt as if he had lost himself in this poisonous mist swamp, unable to distinguish the direction he came from.
Yet after so long, let alone people, he hadn’t seen a living thing.
The entire swamp enveloped in poisonous mist was suffused with a thick aura of death.
Here, you could not sense even a breath of wind, as if everything here had been frozen in time.
Initially, Lin Yi was drawn in by that lightning bolt, and could still move purposefully in one direction.
But later, Lin Yi found.
In fact, Lin Yi himself was already unsure of his location.
Originally, Lin Yi wanted to give up exploring and meet up with Zhang Xinying and others.
But the unease in his heart did not diminish with the passage of time; instead, it grew even stronger over time.
To figure out the source of this unease, Lin Yi ultimately had no choice but to press on, wandering aimlessly through the swamp.
An hour passed as he continued walking.
Just when Lin Yi was about to give up, a massive silhouette suddenly appeared within the poisonous mist in the distance.
This discovery gave Lin Yi’s spirit a jolt:
"A tree?"
Although he could not clearly see what it was, the silhouette made it clear that it must be a tree:
"How could there be a tree here!"
In a place where even the air was highly poisonous, Lin Yi couldn’t imagine anything surviving here other than someone like him who was immune to poison.
Thinking about this peculiarity, Lin Yi quickly flapped his wings and flew towards that spot.
As Lin Yi drew closer to the tree, he discovered a strange phenomenon.
Lin Yi found that the surrounding toxins seemed to be gradually thinning.
Lin Yi was a bit shocked at the thought:
’Could it be because of that tree?’
Lin Yi did not know why he felt it was due to the tree.
But instinctively, he believed so.
There was another thing that left Lin Yi astounded.
The silhouette of the tree seen clearly by the eye seemed to be nearby.
Yet despite flying towards this spot for who knows how long, he still only saw the vague shadow.
It really gives the feeling of the mountain being far away despite seeming close.
Of course, along the way, Lin Yi also noticed that not only did the poisonous mist thin.
Even in the foul-smelling swamp, patches of grass were starting to sprout.
This situation immediately made Lin Yi aware:
"Am I about to reach the perimeter of the poisonous mist?"
Thinking this, Lin Yi’s heart grew even more eager:
"I must see what’s outside this poisonous mist."
Suddenly.
Lin Yi froze on the spot.
In the distance, where Lin Yi’s eyes fell, he saw a shred of light.
It was light!
In the dim poisonous mist swamp, this was Lin Yi’s first time seeing light.
The location illuminated by that light, like a king full of majesty, caused the surrounding poisonous mist to retreat into the darkness as if it had life.
Even more astonishing to Lin Yi just moments ago was.
Between light and darkness, there seemed to be an invisible wall, forming a straight line on the ground from the beam of light, separating the two realms, not interfering with one another.
Just then, a foot stepped upon the edge of darkness, separated by a mere line from that beam of light.
Lin Yi retracted his wings and landed in the swamp, his feet upon the foul-smelling, pitch-black mud.
On the mud, several blades of grass, appearing malnourished, stubbornly grew.
On the opposite side of the tip of his toes, a beam of light adhered to his toes forming a straight line, extending infinitely in both directions.
At this moment, the poisonous mist here was almost nonexistent, and the barren swamp behind was almost fully visible.
However...
In front of Lin Yi was a wall that seemed to be pixelated, appearing very blurry, also... very strange.
The shadow of that tree was within it.
And the bright light.
Lin Yi attempted to reach out forward.
But unexpectedly, his hand easily passed through the seemingly barrier-like wall before him.
Yet standing in darkness, Lin Yi couldn’t see his already stretched-out hand, as if it had traversed a space-time dimension and vanished before his eyes.
Lin Yi was curious about what lay on the other side of this barrier.
Thinking this, Lin Yi decisively lifted his foot, crossing through the darkness...
