Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 709 It's all set up.
So, what should we choose next?
I felt a bit of a headache after getting ashore.

Although Kenara does seem somewhat selfish compared to the Ugly Elder, after all, she only cared about herself and turned the area opposite into a cruel wasteland.

But the ugly elder also said that she was no more noble than Kenara.

The only reason this place needs to be preserved is because it holds important memories for her...

And just as he was struggling with the decision to get ashore.

Li Miao, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up and asked another question.

"...This suicide note must be very important to you, right?"

Why not take it with you?

"Shouldn't another trial participant have already seen this before?"

Li Miao asked.

After hearing his words.

The ugly elder paused slightly, then turned his gaze to him and said meaningfully:
"Because...this is the trial of the long night."

Upon hearing this, Li Miao narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked the same question again.

"To pass the trial, is it really necessary to kill you and Kenara?"

The ugly elder nodded calmly: "Yes."

"I understand."

Li Miao nodded, then turned and left.

"Huh?" Upon reaching the shore, he was somewhat bewildered. He glanced at the ugly elder, then at Li Miao, and quickly followed after him.

After leaving the place where the ugly elder was, some distance away.

Once ashore, he approached Li Miao and whispered, "Miaozi, did you discover something?"

Li Miao glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "Looks like you're not entirely a fool after all."

Upon reaching the shore, his face darkened, and he instinctively wanted to retort, but he was now more interested in knowing what Li Miao had discovered.

"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me!"

Seeing their curious expressions upon coming ashore.

Li Miao didn't waste any more words. Instead, she asked him a question: "Why do you think the Ugly Elder maintains this forest?"

"Is that even a question? Didn't she just say it was for her husband and her precious memories?" Shang An asked, puzzled.

"That's just one of the reasons."

“Another important reason is what she just said—because this is the trial of the long night.”

Li Miao shook his head, then took out the suicide note he had previously found in the dry wooden house and handed it to him.

"Put yourself in his shoes. If you were the Ugly Elder, would you just leave something so important in a small cabin in the forest? And so close to the Night Stone."

After going ashore and thinking about it, he also felt that this was unreasonable, so he shook his head: "No."

Li Miao nodded.

"This means that either the ugly elder deliberately wanted to show this will to the trial participants, or... it was simply because of the trial that it had to be left there."

"I prefer the latter."

“If someone with the personality of the ugly old man doesn’t care about his appearance, then there’s even less need for him to deliberately tell others about his past.”

"What's the point? To make others pity her after seeing this?"

Hearing this, the person who had just come ashore suddenly understood and his mind became clear.

at the same time.

The two of them arrived at the place where the Night Stone had been before.

Li Miao stopped and looked down into the deep crevice.

"so……"

"What she said and did was part of the trial."

"In that case..."

"They might be lying."

"Then the requirement to kill two people to obtain the heart is naturally not necessarily true."

At this point, Li Miao turned to look at the shore and smiled.

"Do you remember what was written on the stone tablet we saw before entering the trial grounds?" "Push through the fog... and find the way forward!"

After getting ashore and muttering to himself, he felt a sudden clarity before his eyes, and his previously chaotic thoughts were completely cleared up.

"So, after ignoring the lies."

"If I'm not mistaken, the key to passing the trial lies... right here!"

Snapped!
Li Miao chuckled, snapped his fingers, and slowly fell backward, plummeting into the dark crevice below.

Upon reaching the shore and seeing this, he was startled and paused for a moment.

After a moment, he came to his senses.

"Damn it, Li Miao!"

"He's trying to show off in front of his buddies!"

"Damn it!"

Despite his cursing, he quickly followed after her, leaping into the air.

Their fire power was still abundant at this time, and they could fly with their radiant bodies, so they didn't need to be too afraid of the cliff or anything like that.

Huhu——

The wind whistled past my ears, making my robes flutter loudly.

The already dwindling light became increasingly sparse as the body continued to fall, eventually turning completely black.

After falling for quite a while, I started to panic once I got ashore.

Oh no, could he have been mistaken before? Did Miao Zi guess wrong too?

No, we have to stop!
"Mitelos Sky... Damn, I forgot this."

Upon reaching the shore, a sudden realization struck him; he had forgotten that he had changed his spell, and his mood plummeted.

But he wasn't too panicked, after all, he still had the Radiant Body as a backup.

But before he could activate the Saintly Fire Form, his body fell to the bottom of the valley.

Physical.

Bang!
A huge splash erupted, and the icy water instantly enveloped the body that had just come ashore from all directions.

After struggling for a while, he finally surfaced, wiped the cold water off his face, and gasped for breath.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Wei? I thought you were too scared to come down."

Beside him, Li Miao was already standing on his own submarine, laughing heartily as he watched the disheveled descent ashore.

Seeing that this guy was mocking him, he got ashore and cursed irritably:

"Aren't you covered in water too?"

"Load the cargo!"

He climbed onto Li Miao's submarine while cursing and looked around at the surroundings.

"You actually guessed right, kid. There really is a hidden terrain down there. I guess the key to the trial lies here."

Upon reaching the shore, one has to admit that Li Miao's mind really worked very fast this time, as if he had been possessed by Yuanfang and had been beaten by him.

"The terrain we've seen before is all cliffs with empty space below, so it's natural to assume that this crack is the same."

Li Miao initially thought so too, after all, the edge of this trial ground was quite deceptive, and they entered by stepping on the void.

"Alright, enough talk, let's go."

Li Miao retreated into the cockpit of the submarine.

The next task is to explore the waters beneath the crevice and find the key to ending the trial.

The water at the bottom of the crack wasn't particularly deep, and the gap between the cracks was quite narrow.

After advancing some distance, the two became even more convinced of their earlier conjecture.

Because the place where they jumped down was the location of the Night Stone Disc.

The direction we are now heading is towards the back of the Night Stone Disc, which is the edge of the Trial Grounds.

This is a place that should have been shrouded and enveloped by the power of the long night.

But instead of having any boundaries ahead, the horizon only widened...
