"Let's go, we'll probably have to walk from now on!" Ye Feng said from the driver's seat, and then the group flew out of the Hummer.
"Ye Feng, the swamp here... seems to have formed not long ago... this mud is more like a mudslide washed out by a heavy downpour..." Ling Xi stood on the water after getting out of the car, observed for a moment, and analyzed.
"Ye Feng, the water here is wrong... it's not fresh water... it's saltwater... it's seawater!" Leng Yue's voice came.
"Seawater?" Ye Feng frowned slightly. "Seawater... speaking of which, the wind blowing around carries not only the smell of decaying monster corpses... but also the fishy smell of sea fish... I didn't notice it just now because I was repelled by the smell of decaying monsters... if I didn't smell carefully..." Saying that, Ye Feng sniffed hard again.
"Sister Leng Yue, is this seawater... it's indeed a bit salty~" Xiao Xiao walked to Leng Yue's side, imitated Leng Yue's posture, dipped some water, and put it in her mouth to taste, muttering.
"Xiao Xiao, haven't you seen the sea?" Leng Yue looked at Xiao Xiao with surprise.
"No!" Xiao Xiao shook her head. "The environment I lived in before was very isolated... I only knew how wonderful the outside world was when I explored with big brother..."
"Is that so... I'll take you to play in the sea when I have a chance, it's very interesting..." Hearing this, Leng Yue immediately said.
"Okay!~"
...
Next, Ye Feng and his group continued to move forward rapidly in the direction of the homesickness worm's wriggling.
"Huh~ Big Brother, what is this silvery-white fish, it's so beautiful... but it seems to be dead..." Suddenly, Xiao Xiao, who was scouting ahead, stopped by a large puddle.
"Fish?" Ye Feng walked over and looked, and was immediately surprised. "Xiao Xiao, this is a beltfish... a fish that lives in the sea..."
"Holy crap, there's seaweed and kelp over there..."
"What the heck? Hasn't a tsunami washed over here..." Ye Feng looked at the messy situation around him, puzzled.
"Ye Feng, over there... a patch in the sky... the sea?" At this moment, Ling Xi spoke, pointing to the middle of a mountain peak that had been split open in the distance.
"Damn... there's really an ocean in the sky? Where did the seawater around here come from?" Ye Feng muttered as he looked at the vast, sparkling blue scene far ahead through the telescope.
"Big Brother, that direction is where the homesickness worm is wriggling!" Xiao Xiao looked at the glass jar in Ye Feng's hand and said crisply.
"Go!"
...
Although they no longer had the Hummer, Ye Feng's group's speed was no slower than driving the Hummer. They only had to stop occasionally to check the homesickness worm and determine their direction of travel...
Before long, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, Leng Yue, and Qiao Ying arrived at the split mountain peak that Ling Xi had pointed to earlier.
"Such a neat gap... it's very likely caused by spatial power!" Leng Yue frowned as she looked at the smooth mountain fracture surface around them. Ye Feng and the others also looked solemn.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!~" Ye Feng and the others moved rapidly, and in a moment, they rushed out of the mountain rift.
"This..." Seeing the scene ahead, Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
Before them lay a vast, sparkling, azure blue body of water that stretched as far as the eye could see, suspended in the void... Various fish swam in the giant water body. The fish closer to the sky were smaller, while those closer to the ground were enormous...
"Sharks... blue whales... orcas... all marine creatures. Did someone bring the ocean to land?" Looking at the creatures swimming in the vast water body ahead, Ye Feng was a bit dazed.
"Ugh~ It's so smelly!" At this moment, Xiao Xiao covered her nose, as the air around was extremely foul... not just the corpses of monsters, but also many human, animal, and fish corpses...
"Gaa~! Roar~ Roar!"
"Keke Ke~ Gaa~ Gaa!" At this moment, a roar and strange cries that Ye Feng was very familiar with sounded, it was zombies. As the words fell, dense figures in the swampy mud ahead struggled to rise and then charged towards Ye Feng and the others...
"So many zombies... Big Brother, have we really come near Arcane City?" Seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but wonder.
"The ocean suspended in the sky ahead seems a bit strange... let's go take a look!" Ye Feng glanced at the homesickness worm in the glass jar in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said.
"Okay!~"
...
Although the zombies were a dark mass, countless and endless, they did not stop Ye Feng's group's advance in any way...
"Bang~ Crack crack crack~"
"Whoosh~ Zzzzz!"
"Zzzzz~ Clang!"
After a series of intense sounds, a considerable opening was forcefully carved through the dense zombie horde by Ye Feng and the others.
"Splash!~" Ye Feng reached into the sparkling water in front of him, grabbed some, and put it in his mouth. "It really is seawater..."
"Big Brother, this suddenly appearing giant water body... its edges are maintained by arcane energy... the zombies can't get in because of the arcane energy wall..."
"It's a bit like the city protection array of Arcane City before!" Xiao Xiao patted the shimmering wall of the giant water body with her small hand, surprised.
"Ye Feng, come here quickly!" At this moment, Qiao Ying's anxious voice sounded.
"Huh?" Ye Feng frowned, knocked down the surrounding zombies, and quickly moved towards Qiao Ying's location.
"Whoosh~ Bang~"
"Crash and fall~!" Ye Feng arrived near Qiao Ying, and the angel power on Qiao Ying flashed, sending a large area of surrounding zombies flying...
"This... the library of Dawn Academy?" Seeing the broken tree trunk that Qiao Ying was standing on, Ye Feng suddenly understood. After all, he had been to the library of Dawn Academy several times when he was in Arcane City, even staying overnight there... and he had even retrieved the wine gifted by the Martial God to the Angel race, Daughter Red, from the divine rune formation on the ninth floor...
"Big Brother!" Seeing the remaining ruins of Dawn Academy building under Qiao Ying, Xiao Xiao's pretty face was filled with worry.
"It seems this place... is indeed likely Arcane City... I didn't expect the changes to be so drastic... it's completely unrecognizable from its original appearance..." Ye Feng's expression was grave. Then, he cast his gaze to the homesickness worm in the glass jar in his hand, "Xiao Xiao, Ling Xi, let's go!"
"Okay!~"
