Chapter 1258: Stepping Precisely on Spatial Nodes
"Jackal" Kanus's expression changed drastically. With a bitter face, he said, "How would I dare? How could I..."
"Then you're no fun at all!"
Tiger King's face darkened. He gave the Wolf King a heavy shove, sending him staggering. "Lead the way. Where do we go next?"
"Alright, alright, this way. Follow this vine covered in patterns, like a silver-ringed snake. I remember this vine."
"Jackal" Kanus led the way at the front. The tigers and wolves clung to jagged rocks, struggling upward along the slowly rotating Floating Mountain Range.
The surrounding slopes grew steeper and steeper, and their footholds smaller and smaller. Just as they were about to climb to the cloud-wreathed mountaintops, a cliff jutting out into the void suddenly appeared ahead. With abyss on three sides, there was nowhere left to go.
"Because the space within the Holy Mountain Depths constantly cycles and shifts, the concepts of a living path and a dead end are completely different here from the outside world."
Sensing Tiger King's killing intent growing stronger behind him, "Jackal" Kanus hurriedly explained, "So we must not be deceived by the sights before us, nor should we seek paths visible to the naked eye—such paths are often cut off by spatial changes before we have even traveled halfway.
"What we need to find are nodes, much like Teleportation Arrays.
"There are more than a hundred such nodes scattered throughout the Holy Mountain Depths.
"When space shifts, these nodes will align one by one. The Space Fissures between them can instantly transport us to the next stretch of the correct path.
"This cliff is one such node. Even with the maps surveyed by the Holy Light Army, dozens of explorers were sacrificed just to determine this node's precise location."
