Looking at the line of people ahead gradually decreasing, Yun Han and the others felt a sense of unease. At the sa ti, they beca more aware of the dangers in the Domain of Ti, making their steps even more cautious and their focus sharper.
Luo Shu’s Divine Sense constantly monitored the trajectories of the Ti Whirlpool and the Ti Circle. She walked while calculating, simultaneously searching for gaps between the Ti Circle and the Ti Whirlpool. In her view, everything followed a pattern—once the pattern was identified, things would beco simpler.
Soon, she discovered that the Ti Circle moved in a straight line, appearing nearly every 0.5 seconds, while the Ti Whirlpool followed a curved trajectory and doubled in frequency every ten steps. With this discovery, she quickly identified a safe zone between the Ti Circle and the Ti Whirlpool.
Luo Shu tested a few steps and found it to be true. She then spoke to the group: "When we walk, step at the three o’clock position, and switch to the next step within 0.3 seconds. This way, the Ti Circle and the Ti Whirlpool won’t touch us."
Upon hearing this, the group imdiately followed Luo Shu’s instructions.
"It really works! How did you figure it out?" Xiao Yao looked at Luo Shu excitedly. This now ant they didn’t have to worry about the Ti Circle and the Ti Whirlpool anymore.
"I discovered their pattern," Luo Shu said with a smile. She felt happy to have found the pattern—at least their safety was no longer a concern.
With this newfound knowledge, Luo Shu’s group began moving faster.
As they passed Xuemo, Luo Shu transmitted the pattern she had discovered to them. This was the extent of her help; what happened to Xuemo afterward was beyond her concern.
When they reached the depths of the Domain of Ti, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find there were no Ti Circles or Ti Whirlpools present here.
"Let’s see if we can find Ti Stones. Ti Stones are black and roughly the size of a dragon’s eye," Luo Shu instructed the group. The Dragon Queen had found Ti Stones here before.
"Alright!" the group responded enthusiastically and set out to search separately.
"Shushu, let’s search over there." Lu Hanmo grabbed Luo Shu’s hand and led her forward. After their previous experience, he had sworn never to stray more than three steps away from her during their adventures.
The two released their Divine Senses and began searching inch by inch.
"Shushu, do you think this is a Ti Stone?" Lu Hanmo stepped forward, picked up a small black stone he found, and held it out to Luo Shu.
"Yes!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile. Indeed, there were Ti Stones here.
With a promising beginning, the group felt newfound confidence in finding more Ti Stones.
"Look, I found one!" Yun Han held up a Ti Stone he had discovered and showed it to the group.
"I found one too!" Ye Lifeng said happily, waving his own Ti Stone.
Soon after, Luo Shu and Xiao Yao each found one as well.
Finding Ti Stones boosted the morale of the group. However, to their disappointnt, apart from the ones already in their possession, they couldn’t find any more Ti Stones.
Undeterred, the group didn’t give up. The Domain of Ti was vast, and there were still many places left to search.
They continued venturing deeper into the Domain of Ti.
Three days later, they encountered a massive mountain-like rock that blocked their path forward.
"Could this be the end of the Domain of Ti? Wasn’t it supposed to be incredibly dangerous?" Ye Lifeng scrutinized the rock and asked.
Luo Shu felt puzzled as well. So far, apart from finding Ti Stones, they hadn’t seen the Heart of Ti or felt the presence of Ti Rules.
Thinking about this, Luo Shu asked the Dragon Queen in her spatial domain: "Dragon Queen, does this place look the sa as when you ca here before?"
The Dragon Queen glanced around and responded, "We didn’t co here. After my husband and I found Ti Stones, we left the Domain of Ti without reaching its end."
Luo Shu looked at the rock and said to the group, "Let’s explore other areas and see. Maybe the passage of ti has changed this place, or perhaps we went in the wrong direction."
"Have you noticed that the shape of this rock resembles a fish?" Xiao Yao pointed at the rock and asked the group.
"Yes!" the group nodded. They had noticed too, though the shape of the rock didn’t seem particularly relevant to them.
"Wait here, I want to check it out." Xiao Yao walked forward and climbed onto the rock. He couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was strange about it.
"Xiao Yao, co down! That rock is eerie!" As the group called out to him, they noticed Xiao Yao’s lower body had been absorbed into the rock.
"I can’t get down! There’s a powerful suction here," Xiao Yao desperately tried to break free, but the suction force was too strong. He could only cling tightly to the rock to prevent himself from being pulled in further.
Yun Han quickly rushed up and grabbed Xiao Yao’s arm, trying to pull him out with all his strength. However, the suction was too overwhelming, and instead of freeing Xiao Yao, Yun Han himself was pulled into the rock.
Luo Shu, Lu Hanmo, and Ye Lifeng hurried forward, grabbing onto the two who were being sucked in.
"Let go! If you don’t, you’ll all get pulled in!" Xiao Yao shouted anxiously at the group. He now deeply regretted his curiosity—it had led to this predicant.
"I won’t let go! We’re brothers. If we die, we die together!" Yun Han firmly grasped Xiao Yao’s shoulder.
"We’ll work together! We won’t abandon you!" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo shouted with determination. They had already made up their minds: either they all made it out, or they’d all get pulled in.
"Push harder! We can do this!" Ye Lifeng clung tightly to Lu Hanmo’s waist and pulled with all his might. He was not soone who feared death, especially for his friends.
Suddenly, the suction force intensified, pulling all of them into the rock.
As Luo Shu and the others were absorbed into the rock, it returned to its original state.
