Han Dong's sunken ship passed through the membrane and officially entered the Antarctic Circle.
He immediately felt the Messenger Mark on the back of his hand weaken, his connection to the Deep Sea and the yellow-robed beings becoming extremely tenuous... And yet, this was merely the entrance through the membrane; they had not yet fully set foot on Antarctic land.
"Surely, the closer we get to the bizarre Black Mountain, the weaker the connection to the outside world becomes, possibly even approaching zero... Indeed, that's very dangerous.
Moreover, the ultimate destination of this Antarctic journey is the ancient ruins of the Elder Race, which are likely situated deep within the Black Mountain. By then, we'll have completely lost contact with the outside world... We must arrange some backup plans, just in case."
With this in mind,
Han Dong rushed back to his room as quickly as he could.
