Misius's Wish (Part 1)

"Is that true?"

Zhou Qing looked at the Rabbit Girl beside him.

"I don't know." The Rabbit Girl shook her head. "But Saundin wouldn't lie."

Wouldn't lie?

Based on the images returned by Romantina's Spiritual Detection, Saundin had a face that was completely unlike the healing-type faces of the Abyss People...

Maybe Saundin did lie!

Both the Rabbit Girl and Odin could confirm that Saundin was one of the Abyss People, but why did Saundin's face resemble that of an outsider?

Moreover, Saundin himself seemed to have quite a few objections to the facial features of the Abyss People... Perhaps he had learned something during his previous explorations downward.

For now, though, they first had to find a way out of this place.

But the metal used in this Steel Base was exceptionally sturdy, capable of ignoring even attacks at the Titled Douluo level. Trying to force their way out was nothing more than a fool's dream.

Back then, Saundin had unleashed a massive shockwave so powerful that even Snake Lance Douluo had been unable to withstand it, instantly reduced to ash.

Yet the aftershock of that blast had failed to melt even a fraction of the steel floor beneath Saundin's feet.

This showed just how extraordinary the materials of this Steel Base were.

Zhou Qing even strongly suspected that the main structures within this Steel Base had not been built by the Abyss People within the past hundred or thousand years at all. They had merely added some steel structures later on.

Therefore, breaking out by force was impossible in the short term.

Could he disperse into qi and seep out through the cracks?

Theoretically, he could.

But—

Zhou Qing had a powerful premonition that if he dispersed into qi, he would be drawn toward those Gates behind him.
