They smoothly smuggled themselves from the Wizards’ Realm into the Abyss.

As soon as Rhein exited the cross-world portal, he was immediately filled with nostalgia: “I probably haven’t been to the Abyss for nearly a millennium. This scenery is really reminiscent.”

Scenery? From the azure blue sky of the Wizards’ Realm, it turned into a murky sky of Dust. The surroundings were barren mountains and wild ridges, and the air was filled with a stern smell of blood. What scenery was there to speak of?

Sanders had no energy to critique Rhein’s aesthetics.

He surveyed the environment around them and quickly located the direction of the cross-layer gate.

“A cross-layer gate is thousands of miles to the southwest, which leads directly to the third layer,” Sanders chose the location that was a direct route through the Twilight Mountains.

If they took this route, it was impossible to go to Sky Island.

Although Rhein felt some regret in his heart, it was of little consequence. Considering the long-term future of the Barbarian Cave, Angel’s safety was indeed the top priority.

A distance of a thousand miles was not considered far for them. Before long, they arrived at the cross-layer gate.

After reaching the Twilight Mountains of the Abyss’ third layer, Sanders immediately became vigilant.

However, what puzzled Sanders was that he and Rhein traveled tens of thousands of miles from the southern part of the Twilight Mountains to the north, without encountering a single ambush.

This was entirely different from the situation before.

When the personnel from the Watchguard Fortress had withdrawn, they encountered enemy attacks almost every hundred miles. How could it be so smooth now?

“It looks like you were worried for nothing,” Rhein said.

“I hope so,” Sanders’s expression remained somewhat tense. Although the Twilight Mountains were calm now, the strange feeling in his heart had not dissipated.

Why, when he retraced his steps today, was the cross-world portal without issues, and the Twilight Mountains showed no signs of danger?

A flash of insight passed through Sanders’s mind, but before he could grasp it, it vanished.

“We’ve arrived at the Wind Whisper Valley,” Rhein’s voice came over at that moment.

Following Rhein’s gaze, Sanders looked ahead. The mountain range was continuous, and in the central valley surrounded by the mountains on all sides was the Wind Whisper Valley.

“It’s also very quiet here, with no presence of Demons,” Rhein sensed the surroundings.

Sanders, however, looked down from a high vantage point towards a corner of the Wind Whisper Valley, and his expression suddenly changed when he saw the sunken pit: “Something’s not right, there’s a problem!”
