After checking repeatedly, Xu Taiping and the others finally confirmed that the rain was not weakening.
Rather, they were flying too fast. The rain, which had begun at Cloudvoid Valley, was still slowly spreading across this world.
Thus, the rain at the edges was much weaker than in the Central Area.
"Boom!!"
Just then, amid a piercing sonic roar, the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage flew back from scouting the outer reaches of the rain.
Xu Taiping immediately asked:
"Great Sage, how far has the rain spread now?"
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage frowned.
"So far, it has only spread thirty li south of here. Beyond thirty li, the land is still barren, and roaming Blightbones can be seen everywhere."
Xu Taiping immediately asked with a frown:
"How many li are we from those Taisu Valley disciples?"
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage drew a deep breath.
"At least another two hundred li!"
Beside them, Mo Qingzhu made some calculations, then said gravely:
"Although we would need only half an incense stick to reach those Taisu Valley disciples by flying on our artifacts, at the rate the rain is spreading now, it will take at least another hour to cover the area where they are."
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage nodded.
"Indeed."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked gravely at Xu Taiping.
"So, Taiping, I want to head to that area ahead of you."
He added:
"At least eight or ten hours have passed since we exchanged messages with those people from Taisu Valley. If we delay any longer, I fear something unforeseen may happen."
Xu Taiping frowned.
"Great Sage, let me go with you."
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage shook his head.
"In the area the Sweet Dew Nectar has yet to cover, the red-eyed restrictions are still in effect. We are certain to encounter Blightbones
