The journey went very smoothly, this route opened by Liszt, many in the team had traversed it multiple times, so they were quite familiar with it.
Even with non-combatants, they took less than three clock hours to leave the boundary of Trolian and officially step into the Dark World.
The air became heavy, the smell of decay and death assaulted their senses, the Black Fog became notably thicker, each wisp of mist seemed to have life, twisting and leaping like countless insects.
This eerie and terrifying scene gradually cooled the heated atmosphere in the team, everyone recalled what kind of gigantic entity they were facing, and how severe and cruel a world they were up against.
Humans seemed like orphans in a boundless wilderness, shivering amidst darkness and madness, and besides huddling by the campfire, there was no sense of security.
Guardian Ye Feng asked softly, "How far is our journey this time?"
Horus glanced at the Star Disk in his hand and replied, "There are two segments on the Star Disk, the first route is 3,700 kilomiles, the second route is 800 kilomiles, totaling 4,500 kilomiles."
Although many already knew, they still let out a gasp of astonishment.
4,500 kilomiles, undoubtedly, this was a very remote distance, by their concept, it was the deep Dark World.
An expedition into such a deep part of the Dark World is extremely rare in Trolian's history.
Rod suddenly asked, "What is Liszt's current situation? Have they started contact with the people of Saint Reel yet? Why do they need our reinforcement?"
Horus's expression grew solemn, after thinking for a while, he replied:
"No, in fact, we haven't received specific news, as Spiritual Communication deep in the dark is extremely challenging, every word sent back is worth its weight in gold... Therefore, the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground only received two words, 'support,' and a Star Disk Map."
Rod furrowed his brow: "Then how do you know they've found Saint Reel?"
A High Rank investigator explained: "This is deduced based on our established conventional codes."
"Communicating information deep in the darkness is very inconvenient, so we often use simplified messages, aside from simplified characters, we default the success of the previous stage with the next phase of action, for example, requesting the second location in an offensive plan, which indicates the first location has been captured with minimal casualties and that they still have the ability to continue fighting."
Rod furrowed his brow even deeper: "Then how do you know they've found the new Fire King City and not encountered danger?"
The High Rank investigator seriously replied: "Lord Rod, in such deep parts of the Dark World, if they encountered an insurmountable danger, we couldn't possibly arrive in time for rescue, moreover there are three Fire Sons in the team, if they hadn't found Saint Reel, they would certainly return along the original route when resources are nearly depleted."
"And the basic principle of opening up a route in the dark is to avoid danger, they wouldn't risk fighting, if a danger was unavoidable, they would choose to return, just like last time."
"The Commander is in the team, it's impossible to make such a low-level mistake."
"Through rigorous deduction and analysis, we believe there is only one possibility for them to call for reinforcements, and that is that they have found substantial clues about Saint Reel, or have already made contact with the people of Saint Reel Kingdom and need the Royal City to dispatch a representative team as soon as possible."
"The specially returned Star Disk Map is evidence of this."
Rod remained silent, his analysis was correct, yet it still lacked certainty, leaving a feeling of uncertainty in people's hearts.
Qingyu noticed his concern and comforted him, "Little Rod, don't worry, Liszt and the three Fire Sons are in the team, things won't deviate too much."
Rod nodded, stopped overthinking, and focused on the journey.
In the Dream Realm, the Book of Knowledge and the puppet were also very concerned about this matter.
For them, upon awakening, the Fire Epoch was already over, leaving only the frail Trolian Kingdom for humanity.
During this millennium, what happened, and if there are other human survivors in this Dark Epoch, is an important question concerning the owner's future and the revival of the Dream Realm.
The bold actions in the Ice Prison fully exposed the Dream Realm, the immense disturbance is sure to welcome terrifying backlash, the Black Fog Demon is still in the sequence of invasion, the crisis in the Dream Realm is far from over, the owner must quickly digest the fragments retrieved from the Ice Prison to further grasp stronger power in order to survive the impending storm.
Asa was the same, often coming over halfway through sleep to observe the surroundings of the owner.
"Master, this time it seems there's no interference from Ancient Evil Thoughts, I haven't sensed the aura of conspiracy."
"Hmm, this doesn't seem right, what are the three powerful Ancient Evil Thoughts doing? Could they be scared of my beatings lately?"
"Haha yes! They must have hidden temporarily after I continuously devoured several low-level Evil Thoughts."
"Master, that new Human Kingdom must also have Evil Thoughts hidden, you should bring your cold woman over, that way she can help me find those pests faster, and I can devour them one by one..."
Rod casually said, "Crunchy?"
Asa laughed wildly: "Right, Master is correct, crunchy! Just like dried human flesh, just like picked bones."
