Along the way, they encountered two more patrols in succession.
With the experience from the first time.
When they encountered patrols again, everyone worked together with growing coordination.
Blood Shadow gave advance warnings while Su Ming assigned tasks.
Everyone attacked together, ending the battles quickly and leaving immediately afterward without a trace.
A total of eighteen Ruins Shadows were silently cleared away.
They did not alert any of the strange factions.
The deeper they went, the heavier the aura of Return to Silence became.
The bones around them also grew denser, with massive remnants of war visible everywhere.
The Spatial Folds became increasingly dense as well, like invisible scars carved across the earth.
"Twenty more li ahead, we'll reach the first outer sentry post."
Blood Shadow stopped and turned back to Su Ming.
"According to the captives, there are roughly over a hundred Ruins Shadows inside the sentry post, along with an Immortal Sovereign Level commander standing guard."
Su Ming raised a hand, signaling the team to stop.
"Don't rush."
"Circle around to the side and assess the situation. We'll strike after we understand the sentry post's defenses."
He had never fought an unprepared battle.
Just as everyone was about to move.
The ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled slightly.
Situ Hao Yue's expression changed, and he immediately shouted in a low voice.
"Not good! Spatial Turbulence!"
Before his words had faded.
There came a soft tearing sound.
The space not far to the left of the team seemed to have been ripped open.
A gray Space Rift instantly spread outward, carrying terrifying cutting power.
Wherever the rift passed.
The broken stones and bones on the ground were instantly sliced into powder, leaving not even scraps behind.
Spatial Turbulence!
One of the most common and deadliest dangers in the Ruins
