1477 Charging into the Demon Chasm!

Under Xia Fan’s care, Sarah’s physical status grew better every day, and her energy reserves as well as her mental state gradually recovered. The only problem now was her dislocated vertebra; this was a very serious condition that needed to be treated, but the lack of sufficient medical supplies and implements to enact treatment meant there was no way for Sarah to engage in any strenuous activity.

Sarah was getting very anxious. Several days had passed, and because Xia Fan had been unable to use his speed, he had to keep fleeing from the creatures hunting them down without going very fast. On average, he would run for three hours , which would only afford them approximately an hour of rest. The repeated fleeing was a huge psychological pressure on Xia Fan; he would most likely have gone to find his comrades had he not been burdened with taking care of Sarah.

“You should just go! Leave me here and go look for your brother,” Sarah said somewhat hoarsely as she looked at Xia fan.

Xia Fan was actually in the middle of his rest when he lifted his head up and regarded her after hearing her words. He flashed her a radiant smile, “Enough with your nonsense already. I’ve already made a promise, so all you need to do is be at ease and rest. There’s no need for you to worry about anything else. My brothers are all very powerful, and they should not be in any trouble. At most they are just trapped here in this endless dark forest, that’s all.”

“Just what did you promise me?!” Sarah shouted impatiently. “There’s no way for my vertebra to heal in a short time! We can’t go on like this, we’ll just end up dying once you become too fatigued! I can already control my flying blades, so you can just leave me here and I’ll take on those creatures myself!”

Sarah was still very curious about what Xia Fan had promised her. Xia Fan scratched his head and then chuckled, “Actually, it’s nothing much. I just said that I’d take care of you if you let me go, that’s all.

“My disaster grandparents once said that as humans, we should not easily make promises to one another, but the moment you do, you must see to it that you fulfill it. That is why I’ll carry you; whether you want to or not, I won’t abandon you.”

Sarah was very confused. Just what were disaster grandparents? If they were his grandparents, why would he call them disasters?

But Sarah also knew that none of that mattered. The key right now was that they were trapped in a death spiral. Xia Fan was unable to completely demonstrate the full strength of his speed, making him no different than a bird with clipped wings. Without being able to fully bring his speed to bear, he had ended up trapped when he could have easily escaped with his life.

As Sarah grew angrier, the differences between their two viewpoints made them argue. Finally, the two no longer spoke to one another, with Sarah lying on the ground, looking like she was sulking. She had a stubborn personality, and though Xia Fan was all smiles, he was also quite obstinate as well.

Xia Fan’s mind raced, and he suddenly came up with a solution. He turned to Sarah and asked, “What you just said. You say you’re able to control your flying knives again?”

Sarah nodded, “Yes. Telekinetically controlling my knives relies on my consciousness and not my body. While my spine has been dislocated, my mind is still fine!”

When Xia Fan heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, “So I see. We might have a way to leave this place?”

“You have an idea?” Sarah asked, curious.

Xia Fan told Sarah what he had thought up, and Sarah widened her eyes after hearing it. Sure enough, it was a good idea. Why hadn’t she thought of it?!

...

It had been seven entire days since the incident by the dark hole.

At the moment, the world above the dark hole was steeped in a chilling atmosphere. Tens of thousands of warriors from Murder Shrine were standing by the edge in full regalia, their faces grim and all of them bearing weapons of all kinds in hand, waiting silently.

It was clear that the entrance to the dark hole was missing a chunk, as if some beast had taken a bite out of it.

This missing chunk was created by the explosion from before. At midnight, Murder Shrine had activated all the directional demolition charges that they had hidden around the encampment, and the artificial landslide that they created had forcibly sent two hundred thousand clueless warriors from the Outer Frontier down into the dark hole.

Above the dark hole was a converted frigate with a huge winch attached to it, metal alloy ropes reaching deep into the dark hole.

Commander Anyo was standing on the edge of the hole looking down. He proceeded to wave his arm to give the order to reel in the ropes. The frigate began to fly skyward even as the winch was turned to retract the rope.

In no time at all, the first rope was drawn up. There was no one at the other end, aside from a corpse riddled with bite marks, evidently killed by the creatures in the dark hole .

Anyo frowned. He indicated that the other ships should continue retracting the ropes. As the number of the retracted ropes increased, scouts who had managed to survive the foray began to appear. Their faces were pale, and the moment they were retrieved from their ropes by the rescue team, all of them grabbed bottles of water and began drinking desperately.

Out of the thirty-six scouts that they had sent down into the hole, more than half of them ultimately did not make it back, having been killed in the process of their investigations.

After the surviving scouts rested for a while, they began to gather in front of commander Anyo, the man with the big hooked nose. Sweeping a cold gaze at the dirty and bruised scouts, he asked in a deep voice, “What’s the situation in the Demon Chasm?”

Demon Chasm?

If Xia Fan and the others were present, they would surely have been stunned after hearing the words Anyo just used. He had directly called it a Demon Chasm, which obviously meant that this was truly the place rumored in the Ashen Moon Universe, where demons lived!

“Just as we expected, in the process of dumping them into the Demon Chasm, over half of the Outer Frontier people immediately died, but there were still plenty who survived, and they performed well, becoming cannon fodder for us. They’ve killed plenty of those Demon Ants, even making the Demon Ant Army that had originally gathered at the entrance to disperse. If we go down there now, we will not have to deal with harsh resistance! In any case, our plan worked!” a skinny and tall man that appeared to be the scout leader replied excitedly.

Demon Ant?

It was yet another strange name. Those creatures looked like fanged humans that had turned black because of some genetic mutation, so why would the people of Murder Shrine call the creatures Demon Ants? Could the creatures actually belong to some Ant race?

“Very good!” Anyo nodded approvingly. He reached out his right hand. “Hand over the map!”

The scout leader immediately took out a hand-drawn map from his bosom that was drenched in blood. It was something that he and his comrades had earned in exchange for their lives, which he had very carefully hidden underneath his battlesuit.

Anyo unfurled the map and saw that there were two sets. The first was the entrance of the Demon Chasm in the past. There had been over a hundred thousand Demon Ants guarding the entrance, swallowing up any humans immediately after they entered. A huge red circle that indicated where the Demon Ants had been positioned.

The second map showed how this had largely changed. There was only a scattering of Demon Ants guarding the entrance. Most had gone hunting the humans that had escaped, their division indicated by the now sparse clusters of red dots, showing that the Demon Ant army had largely spread themselves out.

Furthermore, there were also gray traces marked near the entrance. These were the dead Demon Ants. The collapse into the hole had not only caused a large amount of their cannon fodder to die, but had also managed to crush many of their enemies that were originally stationed there. This scheme of theirs was truly two birds with one stone. As for the unlucky Outer Frontier special ability users, Anyo could not be in the least bit bothered. Murder Shrine was made up of people who had defected from the Inner Territories. It was never Anyo’s intention to take in those warriors from the Outer Frontier, so he did not care if they ended up dead.

Anyo appeared to be somewhat excited after seeing the maps. Safely storing them away, he went to the edge of the Demon Chasm and projected his voice, “Brothers! The moment we’ve been waiting for all this while is finally here! The final blockade has been removed and as long as he can conquer the Demon Chasm, we’ll be in possession of a strength that will match that which the three Federations wield!

“After all these years of waiting, our victory is finally in sight!

“The old god is dead, may the new god arise!

“Bypassing the heavy monitoring from the three Federations and gathering here in secret, was all for the sake of today!

“Right now I will announce the biggest and craziest battle since the establishment of Murder Shrine. Our crusade of the Demon Chasm shall begin now!”

*Whoosh*

He leapt high into the air. Immediately, tens of thousands of elite Murder Shrine warriors followed. All of them were leaping into the Demon Chasm!

These people were once investigators from the three great Federations, spies from the Intelligence Bureau, soldiers from the military, and even five-star generals that had commanded tens of thousands of soldiers. Their strength was incredible!

But today, the elite forces who had gathered here were charging into the Demon Chasm that was so deep that it seemed bottomless, for reasons that none of the three Federations had any idea of!
