Chapter 622: Brief Encounter in an Alien Realm

It's been over a month.

During these days, Locke has been anything but idle; he visited numerous places, his footsteps almost covering half of the Fertile Continent to confirm the current news of the plane.

Choosing a deserted spot in the Frozen Bone Wilderness, he began setting up a formation altar, taking advantage of a night rich in darkness to activate the formation on the ground.
