"What a magnificent sight!"
More than three hundred li apart, Lin Qi and Arthur exclaimed at the same time.
Lin Qi watched with his own eyes as tide-like abyssal creatures surrounded his tiny city. That surging black torrent of heads writhed and rolled across the ground; anyone with even slightly weaker nerves would have been scared to death by this enormous army.
Arthur, meanwhile, watched the spectacular scene through a magical scrying mirror. The Fourth Abyss was immensely vast, more than a hundred times larger than the Fifth Abyss below it.
