Legend had it that only when the two split halves of the Stone Bone met, could the path to the Most Evil Place be opened. This was the information revealed in just a few words by the Martial Mark. However, this path was extremely dangerous; even an Ancestral God might not be able to pass through safely.
The land before them was vast and boundless. In the dimness, specks of Divine Light twinkled, like fireflies dancing across an empty field, accompanied by the wails of deities.
The Martial Mark guided Xiao Chen and the others as they trudged forward, some steps deep and some shallow, amidst waist-high wild grass. The presence of such real vegetation underground surprised them all.
"Flap flap,"
A wild bird about a foot long startled out of the grass, looking very odd with the body of a bird and the head of an elephant. Its ivory tusks shone white as jade, and its trunk coiled and uncoiled as it circled above them, scrutinizing the group.
