"Lord Linsey?"

Having delivered the message, Levi happened to return.

Seeing Linsey's expression, he asked with concern:

"That look... could the enemy's ambush ahead be extremely dangerous?"

"Dangerous?" Linsey's expression turned strange, and his tone was somewhat hesitant. "What lies ahead may not necessarily be danger. We can't even say for sure whether there's an ambush."

Linsey led the team onward.

Along the way, he opened the map and followed the Sky Compass's guidance to search for the Hidden Space.

This situation differed from the previous Hidden Spaces.

Northeast of the massive hollow lay a sizeable sunken basin. The Hidden Space was marked within it, with no spatial tricks or puzzle hints for entering it.

The Mutated Ones noticed the disturbance and staggered toward them, attempting to attack and devour the flesh of living humans.

"Hmph—"

Linsey did not even need to act.

The torchlight brought by Linsey's group was shattered into fragments by the buildings and streets, yet the glow darted through the surroundings as though it were gradually stirring a city killed
