"Crater?" Gulu concluded as he looked at the shocking scene.

"No, this is the mark left by the sun setting on the ground."

Randolph Carter spoke solemnly in a hymn-like tone.

"Mahjong is short of one, Carter, come quickly!"

In the palace on the Black Abyss, Ivia shouted loudly.

The Black Abyss headed north and soon left the blizzard-covered area of ​​the Ice Cemetery.

The temperature also rose rapidly. After a few rounds of mahjong, the snow on the ground had gradually melted. After another half an hour of flying, the earth had become lush and green.

Although located in the north, the White Swamp is not cold but rather very hot and humid. The diffused smell of rotten grass leaves and tree roots soaked in water can be smelled even on the Black Abyss.

Ivia covered her nose and went to the deck to look down. In a large shallow area, there grew a kind of white tree with a trunk about as thick as an egg.

These white trees look bare, and even if there are a lot of them, forming a swamp forest, they cannot block the view.

"This white tree produces cotton spores. When the spores mature and burst, white cotton wool flies everywhere, covering the surface of the water with a layer of wet white cotton wool. This is how the White Swamp got its name."

The Mushroom Prophet introduced to Ivia in a timely manner that this humid, nutrient-rich environment is a habitat that the mushroom tribe likes very much.

There are many products here that are extremely popular among all mushroom people, and Her Majesty Avia should also like them.

"We, the Mushroom Tribe..."

"No need, we won't stop here, let's keep going forward."

Ivia interrupted the Mushroom Prophet's enthusiastic introduction and rejected the Mushroom Prophet's invitation in advance.

The Sunshine Wetlands are fine, but this white swamp, viewed from the sky, looks like the earth has rotted and deteriorated, and white mold has grown.

With the smell of rotten fermentation, Ivia declined the offer.

After flying over the white swamp where countless mushroom people were cheering on the ground, the Black Abyss finally arrived at the northernmost Black Forest in the world.

But no matter how Ivia used her perception, in this vast black forest, except for some ghosts, she did not find any of the shadow spirits that the mushroom prophet mentioned.

Ivia, who had thought she would see the same kind of creatures as Dudugugugu, couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"What exactly is a Shadow Spirit?"

Aivia helplessly asked the equally puzzled Mushroom Prophet.

"Shadow Spirit is a kind of, oh! I see."

The so-called shadow spirit is not a living thing, not a ghost, not an energy body, but a being that feeds on disease and pain.

The shadow spirit is not the savior of living beings either. Wherever there is a shadow spirit, it won't take long for the disease and pain to be eaten up by it. At that time, the shadow spirit will randomly select living beings, seriously injure them, make them suffer, make them sick, and use them as food.

The Shadow Spirit is a disaster. It has strong combat capabilities, and after absorbing certain diseases and pains, it will split into sub-bodies.

The Yada people once wanted to imprison the Shadow Spirit and turn it from a pest into a beneficial insect, but failed. This thing is neither a physical body nor an energy body. It can travel between the physical and the illusory, and can even temporarily enter other people's dreams to escape.

Hearing this, Randolph Carter already understood:

"Your Majesty, wherever you go, disease, pain, and disaster will have no place to live. The shadow spirits who foresaw this have left in advance."

Chapter 480 Illegitimate daughter?

Ivia was a little disappointed that she didn't meet the Shadow Spirit. The environment of the Black Forest was not a good place for a picnic.

Ivia headed straight to the northernmost part of the world without stopping.

At the end of the Black Forest, the stump of the last original tree stood in front of the entire darkness.

Seeing this scene, Ivia suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were abyss-distorted monsters like ice slaves in this world, but Ivia had never felt the invasion of the abyss.

It turned out that this world had drained most of the active power of the abyss outside the world.

This original tree is a bit drier than the one in Addagudu. At the bottom of its trunk, there is a tree hole with a diameter of several meters, which leads obliquely downwards.

The darkness within the cave is not an abyss, but rather the sediment left over from the time when the world was still dark.

The darkness that the ancient Yada people expelled must be this kind of thing.

"Are you going to the Dark Realm?" The Mushroom Prophet only then knew Ivia's purpose.

[The contractor has activated 3/3 of the Initial Tree, and the first stage of the main quest, Journey, has been completed.]

[The contractor receives a reward: an ancient statue.]

[Due to special circumstances in this world, the restrictions on the second ring of the main quest have been lifted and cannot be activated temporarily. The current world status is: Sealed (all units only have one entry).]

Introduction: The statue made by the Yada people. In the Dark Ages, there were many original trees. This statue also became a must-have for explorers among the Yada people. It was the highest honor given to the brave.

Selling price: Soul Crystal Core × 3.

……

The ancient statue was a reward that matched the travel mission, but the fact that the second ring main mission could not be activated still made Ivia smile.

Samsara Paradise probably also wants this world, so it issues this kind of task to itself.

"You guys stay here, I'll go down to pick people up." Ivia gave the order after feeling the darkness in the cave.

"The Dark Realm is a world prison. Even without a guard, it's easy to get lost. It's better for you to send your subordinates there."

The Mushroom Prophet suggested with some concern.

"Then you go?" Ivia asked with a smile.

The Mushroom Prophet, who was making a sincere suggestion, was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Ivia just smiled and jumped into the cave. The surrounding black fog was slightly cool, and it was pitch dark. In the haze, Ivia touched the solid ground, which was a man-made staircase.

This means that there should have been a way for the contractor to enter here, but with the death of the Ghost Queen, this place has no meaning and has been covered by thick darkness.

This darkness is not the abyss, but a kind of isolation measure of the tree-born world, a dead matter used to isolate the abyss from the world itself.

Ivia, who has the essence of the abyss, finds it extremely difficult to travel through the dark mud, but fortunately, the abyss outside the boundary provides Ivia with direction to some extent.

After walking through the black mud for an unknown amount of time, Ivia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the light was still dim, Ivia could already see clearly that she was in a long underground passage more than 1 meter wide. The rock walls on both sides were built very flat and arched at the top.

After Ivia walked forward a few hundred meters, the view on both sides suddenly became clear.

[Hint: The contractor has arrived at the "Dark Realm."]

Ivia looked around ahead. It was a small town-sized building complex, surrounded by dark rock with jagged fractures.

Walking along the street lined with stone houses on both sides, we reached the end where a large stone house with a half-dissolved outer wall blocked the street. Preliminary judgment showed that the only exit here was the passage we came from.

Moreover, the black mud in this passage is still slowly seeping into the town. It won’t be long before this place called the Dark Realm will be completely buried.

The buildings in the town have a sense of decay, and most of them are rock houses. Although it is called a small town, there are only two large rows of intact buildings left, located on both sides of the street. The rock buildings outside have been dissolved by the darkness and look like burnt candles, leaving them in a state of disarray.

The entire street is about three meters wide, and the buildings on both sides give people a sense of compactness and closure. To a certain extent, this architectural pattern also gives people a sense of security.

Aivia walked on the street. The rock under her feet looked like it had been eaten by insects and was covered with honeycomb holes.

There are no bright colors in the Dark Realm. Everything is based on black, and the air is filled with a musty smell.

Among the more than 30 wooden houses on the entire street, only one house had lights on, except for the large stone house at the end of the street.

Apart from Anderson, Su Xiao actually had another prisoner left?

Ivia walked straight to the house out of curiosity and knocked on the door.

Through the dilapidated door, Ivia could hear the sudden increase in breathing sounds inside the house.

"Where is Anderson? Who are you?"

The person in the room pretended not to be there and didn't respond, even holding his breath.

Ivia also held her breath and stood outside the door motionless.

After a long time, the being inside the door seemed to finally be unable to hold it back and began to breathe rapidly again.

Then a low cry of pain came from inside the door, as if someone had accidentally hit their toe.

Then the person inside the door came to the door to see if the thing outside had left.

I saw Ivia's half-smile at a glance.

"what!!!!"

A sharp female scream rang out, filled with extreme fear.

Aivia became more and more curious and pulled the door handle to open it.

The slight resistance she felt did not stop Ivia. This was outside the world, and there was no need to worry about causing any damage.

The door was pulled down along with the wall.

The screaming woman stopped screaming when she saw Ivia. Instead, she recognized Ivia with surprise and spoke:

"younger sister?"

"No, He—"

A ghost woman who was somewhat similar to the ghost queen but more fragile was so frightened that she gasped and fainted as if she had a cramp.

"What a loser! Even after being captured here, you're still afraid of Yuro?"
