Xu Feng said, "There."
He pointed into the distance, but the terrain on the way there was even more treacherous. Master glanced over and said, "The rope isn't long enough. We can't get across!"
The two places were only a hundred paces apart in a straight line.
But after the collapse, covering those hundred paces would be harder and more dangerous than walking a thousand on ordinary ground. Xu Feng stood at the edge and peered into the distance. The entire route was fraught with trouble.
He could handle corpse monsters, but if he went in and one collapse set off a chain reaction, three or four stories' worth of earth, bricks, and tree roots would come crashing down.
One hit like that, and it would be game over for Xu Feng!
Unless a god appeared in person and shielded him.
This geological hazard was far more dangerous than any corpse monster. From here, Xu Feng could also see details that had been invisible from afar. Li Family Village and Lost-Trace Forest had fallen completely underground, nearly smashing the Underground Palace to pieces. Beyond its ruins, he could see groundwater flowing in gentle streams.
It looked as though the Underground Palace that had once belonged to the Corpse-Liberation Immortal had been completely flooded. He wondered whether that had anything to do with its master's failed Corpse Liberation.
Xu Feng turned to Master. "Master, let out the rope. I'll go down and take a look.
"If I tug on it from below, pull me back."
Master gave a slight nod.
Unlike Xu Feng,
Master had taken only one look from a distance when they arrived and had gone no closer.
Not only that, he had found a bamboo pole and driven it hard into the ground, then tied a rope around
