"These..."
Guang Tian Ge instinctively wanted to ask Old Giant something.
But Old Giant suddenly turned his head and made a silencing gesture.
As he did, several black pillars nearest to them suddenly trembled, as if they had sensed something amiss.
Everyone was startled by this sight, nearly unleashing all their power in preparation for battle.
Fortunately, after the trembling stopped, those bacteria remained as they were and did not awaken.
Old Giant could not help but let out a sigh of relief, then glared fiercely at Guang Tian Ge.
Guang Tian Ge gave an embarrassed smile and did not dare make another sound.
The others also began moving forward while trying their best to avoid the black pillars.
Only Shen Lin not only failed to keep his distance but occasionally moved closer to observe them.
Thus, under Old Giant's lead, everyone passed through the black pillars without incident.
They finally arrived before the rock wall.
After carefully circling around the three enormous bacteria, they finally saw the rock wall in its entirety.
Only then did they discover that the rock wall was not smooth at all. Its surface was actually composed of layer upon layer of scales.
At regular intervals, the scales trembled from top to bottom.
As though breathing.
At one spot almost flush against the rock wall, there was a circular, unusual pattern in the open space.
At the very center of the pattern stood a stone platform.
The instant they saw this, everyone understood that this was the key to whether they could leave this world.
A teleportation array!
Everyone's faces lit up with wild joy. If not for the dangers surrounding them, they probably would have cheered long ago.
Old Giant nodded lightly and led them toward the array.
Everyone stepped into it and relaxed.
