A gravel-paved path led deep into the forest. After walking along it for more than ten minutes, Su Xiao reached a fork.
Su Xiao glanced at the map and learned that Eternal Moon City lay ahead to the left, while the Abyssal Serpent Manor lay ahead to the right.
Based on Su Xiao's speculation, Eternal Moon City was actually similar in nature to Arans City of the Empire of Serra. Many civilians lived there. As for the Abyssal Serpent Manor, it was an extremely dangerous area guarded by more than a thousand Temba warriors.
After walking about half a kilometer along the path to the right, the gravel road gradually widened, but the surroundings grew increasingly quiet. The chirping of insects disappeared, and even the birds and beasts that had often appeared moments ago were nowhere to be seen.
After continuing for another two kilometers, a wooden bridge appeared ahead. The river beneath it rushed violently, washing against the nearly half-meter-thick bridge pillars.
The wooden bridge had been built very neatly. A split-tailed serpent was carved into the wooden post at the bridgehead. A thick rope was tied to its top, with purple ribbons hanging from it and fluttering in the wind.
After crossing the wooden bridge, stone steps appeared ahead. Only a few withered leaves lay on them, showing that they were swept regularly.
Su Xiao proceeded up the steps. A breeze passed, and the trees on both sides rustled.
Soon, the steps came to an end, and the terrain began to level out. A vast cluster of pavilions appeared ahead.
The pavilions had been built very closely together. Hundreds of them stood at varying heights. Though there were many buildings, they formed a single whole. The Abyssal Serpent Manor had arrived.
