He glanced that way, his brow furrowing.
That sound... It didn't sound human.
Could it be a Soul Beast?
Didn't Wang Sheng say reliable sources claimed Soul Beasts hardly ever appeared in the Outer Perimeter during the day, as long as you stayed away from the core of the Middle Layer?
Unless time passes faster here, and it's already dark outside?
No.
Wang Sheng had never entered the Middle Layer himself. He'd only heard about it.
So his information might not be reliable.
Lin Yi shook his head and set his doubts aside for now.
But he did not retreat. He stayed where he was, intending to see what happened.
After he had waited a while, the sound never came again. It was as though it had vanished.
What's going on? The sound stopped?
Forget it. I'll leave it for now.
My Soul Power is suppressed by half here. Going deeper would be too risky.
I'll fall back, get used to the suppression, then pull out my gun and explore farther in.
Having made up his mind, Lin Yi turned and retraced his steps.
The return trip was much faster. He had already walked this route once and knew where to put his feet.
In less than half a quarter-hour, he reached an area where his Soul Power was suppressed by only twenty percent.
He looked around, found an earthen bank sheltered from the wind, and sat down to rest.

Even if I run into a Soul Beast or some fool looking for trouble, I can handle it.
