Under the coercion of the Soul Hall expert, Xiao Yu gradually relaxed the vigilance he had felt when the man first captured him.
This relaxation did not mean he believed the man bore him no hostility. Rather, he was considering why the man had kept him alive. After all, he was merely a Da Dou Shi. It would have been effortless for the man to kill him, so there was no need to drag such dead weight around in flight every day. Just as the man had said, since he had brought Xiao Yu along, he would not let him die so easily on the road.
After that, Xiao Yu could only silently gather his strength. Meanwhile, that emergency mission—to survive at the hands of a Soul Hall expert—still had not been marked as completed, which meant Xiao Yu was still in danger.
Thus, without being able to tell directions, Xiao Yu drifted about with Eagle Protector for more than ten days. Along the way, Eagle Protector sensed the soul fluctuations of several souls and went to capture them. None of those souls caused any trouble.
They were easily taken by Eagle Protector. Even one whose soul strength had reached the Dou Wang level had his head pierced by Eagle Protector's chains before being dragged into the black mist.
More than ten days later, the two had arrived somewhere unknown. Xiao Yu only knew that they had long since left the Jia Ma Empire. Looking at the endless black plains ahead, he felt a sense of familiarity.
"Heh heh heh, little fellow, welcome to hell. You may also call it—the Black-Corner Region!"
Although Eagle Protector had told him this was the Black-Corner Region, Xiao Yu still found it hard to believe.
This completely conflicted with the plans he had made.
