169 Only personal strength is true strength
Inside the huge cave made under the crater, other than heat, nothing could be felt at all.
The sound that came in from above the hole that had collapsed was drowned instantly.
The place seemed to have no life fluctuations at all, other than recording some things in the past, it seemed like a dead place.
After having moved around the caves, the couple came to one conclusion, and that was that either the creatures present in the place were dead or in deep hibernation.
But still, that conclusion didn’t seem too convincing.
Wang’s perception was spread, and at the same time, Ruruo was holding a sword by her waist, ready to move at any moment.
It was some kind of nervousness.
With the expansion of the field of perception, the couple could almost see everything. It’s just that despite there being no suppression of his spirit, he couldn’t manage to find anything within the range of his perception that intrigued him.
After moving forward for some distance, he managed to perceive a huge pit, and his perception couldn’t even see the end of its depths.
.....
Finally, something attracted his attention, Ruruo also caught sight of it, and their movements were diverted in that direction.
Upon seeing it, he couldn’t help but retreat three steps back.
The feeling he had was like he was staring at a dangerous monster. The pit was several hundred meters in diameter, but upon looking downwards, it seemed bottomless and capable of swallowing everything.
Even though the place was very hot, just standing near the pit, the couple felt cold for no reason.
The feeling was not very comfortable, as it seemed as though the couple had looked into the abyss.
The space connecting to some unknown dark space was not very good.
As they walked around the huge pit, occasionally there would be sounds of the water being stepped on.
The water could be heard splashing with ‘Pa!pa!’ sounds from time to time.
That was probably the only sound in this place, and the moment the couple heard it they become unsettled.
After moving around the hole for a while the couple couldn’t help but frown slightly since the deep hole seemed to make them slightly uncomfortable even without looking at it.
“It’s very ominous here! Go to the other sides and see if any change will happen.”
“Yes.” Ruruo also didn’t like that feeling at all.
After moving around the place for some period, they realized that perhaps something had been sealed in the huge pit.
From. Wang’s nature, he would not go into the pit after having the feeling of extreme danger when facing it.
The murals didn’t even have left any depictions of the pit, claiming that the owners ot the murals didn’t know anything about it, he wouldn’t believe it at all.
Wang took out ore from his storage and threw it into the huge pit and he failed to even hear any sound that indicated the object was falling.
It was too silent, and this further proved his guess, there was something wrong with the place.
He didn’t even hear the sound of the ire hitting a wall at all, in that case, he could only let the matter slide.
“Falling in this place is not different from being cast judgment of death. It’s too silent and the depths of the pit beyond my estimation.” There was something that Wang failed to say.
He believed some of the monsters he met before could probably manage to enter the huge out without any concern.
“Looking at the traces left behind by the civilization before, we can be sure this place was not mentioned on purpose. Want to get people to jump in this pit by themselves due to greed, or if that wasn’t their actual objective I don’t care. Now we should get further away from this place.” As the couple mentioned this issue they didn’t even delay.
“You are right, it’s not the time to explore this ominous place, and getting tangled here for too long might just end up becoming a danger in the end.” He understood what she was implying.
The time they came to check out this place was limited and staying for too long might prove detrimental.
In that case, he would better deal with other things that had less threat to their lives.
After that leaving would also not be a bad idea, but things don’t always go by people’s plans.
Without even thinking about it, he took Ruruo and attempted to break through space and leave this place.
“Let’s escape first and talk about it later.” He could feel some actual oppression being brought down on him.
Some strong existence was obviously on its way to this place and he didn’t want to get involved at all.
In that case, leaving would be the only rational thing to do.
“Yeah!” Ruruo also didn’t feel well when she felt that oppression.
It ed at them but released naturally.
After having such a thought, Wang was determined to go, but he realized that he had only covered a small distance.
Instead.
Thankfully, after the couple moved some distance from the huge pit, the existence that arrived went into the pit instead, and after that, the oppression disappeared.
Wang didn’t stop though, he kept running away in another direction with Ruruo, even the tokens to hide their auras were being used.
While moving, Wang and Ruruo managed to gain some understanding of this world and the reason for almost all creatures being larger behemoths.
Back then was not simple and races proclaiming themselves as gods fought for several millenniums and this resulted in even some becoming extinct.
In such a war, many giant races lost a lot, with some supreme existences of such clans falling too, and their bloodlines tainted the world.
In the end, some managed to escape while the unfortunate ones died in this world, resulting in the mutation.
The situation is thus as it is, and looking at the changes that swept this world, both Wang and Ruruo could only sigh.
Their current direction is indeed far off from this home, but they deemed it safer compared to having to take certain risks.
After moving around the cave the couple already knew some truth, this place had nothing that could enable their cultivation to improve at all, and even the benefits around could only be obtained by those of the same race.
“This world is indeed chaotic, we probably have yet to meet any problems because the region we occupy is not worth anyone’s desire.” The couple could indeed understand this logic.
In a fight for resources, no one would try to get an area that has already been deemed barren.
Perhaps everything that the two of them deem as precious in the other’s eyes is just so-so.
In.the end, this was a good thing for them and their future development path.
This realization was somehow refreshing but also made Wang feel a sense of crisis.
A place like this that no one wanted might one day probably also have others running there to escape.
It is indeed a normal situation and that is what worries him, besides, he also thought about the egg, he had a hunch that the egg was probably someone’s way of probing this area.
If that were the case then things might indeed become very difficult to handle.
But he didn’t care much about it, his thoughts drifted off and he started to wonder about his physical cultivation.
He lacked enough techniques to practice and the star refinement art seemed to have no follow-up chapters.
Suddenly an idea struck him, and he wanted to try it but dismissed the thought.
“Let’s wait first, after leaving this place, I’ll also ask Ruruo to participate and see if we can set up a unique practice method.” As his thoughts moved he looked around only to see that the cave was still beyond their ability to grasp.
He decided it was not worth wasting their time in this place, but at the end of the day, he still had the thought about coming back later.
In.that case he spends close to a day setting up a temporary teleportation formation.
When the couple set foot on these teleportation and energy crystals crumbled, another giant figure noticed the abnormality ot the formation and plucked it.
This was indeed very lucky on their part that their destination had already been set or they would end up being thrown in the void randomly.
In such cases, even survival might become a huge problem.
When the couple appeared a huge water body could be seen in their line of sight.
This was his plan, he set up a teleport formation that was close to the tree house at the river banks.
From the other end, the formation had been disabled and thus Wang couldn’t locate it even with the help of the formation skills he had.
He just thought the formation had collapsed due to being overexerted and reached its limit.
After holding the formation in its hand the giant couldn’t find anything peculiar with it and threw it among its collection before looking towards the pit with some excitement.
