"We finally made it out."
Chen Mu gazed with deep emotion at the towering cliff before him. Behind him lay the endless sea of Mituo Blue. After three days of nonstop trekking, they had finally escaped this sea of death. Looking back at it now, its beauty had long since faded, revealing its viciousness and cruelty. Over those three days, they had seen no living thing besides Mituo Blue. Near the outer edges, however, animal remains littered the ground. The stark white bones proclaimed the deadly danger hidden beneath that beauty.

Chen Mu eventually decided they were moving far too slowly and simply resorted to his old trick, scooping her up again and racing ahead at high speed. With his strength now vastly improved, his speed was even more extraordinary.
After so many days without food, even someone forged of iron would have struggled to endure. Unless they found something to eat soon, they would both be finished. At that thought, the Devil Woman struggled only briefly before giving up altogether. But Chen Mu's clothes had been shredded in the Frost Crystal Storm.
