With a tremendous crash, the ground beneath Lü Siya's feet vanished abruptly.
That was right—vanished.
It was as though an invisible Doomsday Beast had opened its blood-filled maw and savagely swallowed the ground within a radius of several meters!
The road, stripped away from the surface, revealed a hollow underground space.
