Chapter 802: Chapter 361: Acquaintance (Part 3)
Sure enough, Ron began to feel a subtle ntal pressure.
It was not a direct attack, but a kind of gradual erosion, attempting to implant thoughts deep within his consciousness that were not his own.
He imdiately activated the "Star Eater’s Ravings" for protection, the cold power of the stars forming a solid ntal barrier.
But other explorers weren’t as fortunate.
Ron noticed that the necromancer Mordred had already begun to tremble slightly.
......
As the platform reached the third floor, the surrounding environnt changed drastically once again.
The Bloody Shallow disappeared, replaced by an endless black desert.
The remains of countless creatures had weathered into powder and began a perpetual cycle in this land of death.
The sky was a deep, oppressive purple, with no sun, only several massive organ-like celestial bodies suspended, emitting a sickly glow.
These "celestial bodies" were actually organs of ancient entities, turned into lighting facilities after being devoured by the abyss.
"Third floor reached, the destination is here, prepare to disembark."
Uther’s voice beca serious:
"From now on, you will be directly exposed to the abyss environnt. Rember, caution is the only rule for survival."
The platform slowly ca to a halt, and the shields began to gradually dissipate.
Instantly, the unique oppressive atmosphere of the abyss rushed forth.
It was a complex scent mixed with death, despair, and madness, and even experienced explorers needed ti to adapt.
More terrifyingly, it was mingled with a sickly sweet sll of decay, the "aroma" produced by the ferntation of countless corpses in the abyss.
"Ugh..." Several explorers entering the abyss for the first ti imdiately began to retch.
"Goodbye then, Ron." Maxim patted his shoulder:
"My goal is to venture once more to the sixth floor ’Maze Domain’, where there is a special environnt that can catalyze breakthroughs."
His expression grew more serious:
"Rember my words, in the abyss never trust anything that appears ’friendly’. Every creature here, including those that look human, could be a deadly trap."
"I will rember." Ron nodded solemnly, "And I wish you a successful breakthrough."
Maxim’s team included three combat slaves genetically modified and two rcenaries.
Though their strength was only so-so, they possessed rich survival experience in the abyss environnt.
Ron’s team was assembled by the Miller Squad.
This experienced team had unparalleled expertise in abyss exploration, with each mber a veteran surviving countless life-and-death trials.
"Maintain formation, do not act alone."
Miller’s command experience was extrely valuable in such an environnt:
"This black sand can perceive the emotion of fear; the more afraid you are, the more likely you are to be attacked."
Sure enough, as the team stepped onto the black desert, the seemingly ordinary bone sand imdiately began to writhe.
They gathered at the team mbers’ feet, making subtle friction sounds, as if savoring the life essence of those stepping on them.
Ron activated his perception ability, and within his unique vision, a relatively safe path gradually beca clear.
It was a winding path, skillfully skirting most of the dangerous areas.
"Thirty degrees to the left, avoid the darker area over there." He pointed into the distance:
"The bone sand density is higher there, possibly hiding so predator."
Miller nodded in trust and began adjusting the team’s direction.
As a seasoned explorer, he knew that in the abyss, any slight anomaly could an lethal danger.
After several hours of careful traversal, they successfully passed through the primary danger area of the third floor.
