"This situation is indeed far more complicated than we expected. But we arrived early, so at least time is on our side. If we find the Northern Abyss Kun first, we might gain some advantage from the terrain as well. When the time comes, who will bring down the stag is still anyone's guess," Shen Luo said after pondering for a long while.
"You're right, Brother Shen. Those people must be after the Northern Abyss Kun too. If things really erupt into chaos, they won't have an easy time of it either," Ao Hong said with a smile.
The Tear Demon and the others exchanged glances, hardly reassured. But at this point, it was clearly too late to beat a retreat.
"They're already pursuing us. We need to pick up the pace too." With that, Shen Luo led everyone farther down toward the seabed.
Before long, they spotted a mass of indistinct black silhouettes deep on the seabed. Rising to different heights, they looked like an enormous forest.
Only when they drew closer did they discover, to their astonishment, that those immense, dark silhouettes were actually a vast stone city stretching for hundreds of miles.
Buildings stood scattered throughout it, each different in design and appearance, yet every one was extraordinarily huge and mysterious. Some were even hundreds of zhang tall, towering like mountains.
