The captured deputy confirmed that three Borisin squads had entered the continent, each pursuing a different mission.

• Lin Yuan used Path power to activate the bone map, which projected the Douluo Continent and showed two other Borisin locations.

• Qian Daoliu and Lin Yuan questioned the Borisin deputy in the Worship Hall prison the next morning.
• The deputy revealed that three Borisin squads had entered the continent and that his squad searched for relics left by Abundance.
• The deputy said the second squad studied local life and power systems, while the third searched for other spatial fissures.
