One day later
Two light shadows quickly appeared on a strange island surrounded by small islands in the eastern bay of the Devil Kingdom. The reason this island was weird was that it resembled a giant turtle shell, shaped in a circular arc. There was no vegetation on the island except for rocks. One could see everything with clarity from the air.
"Master Anne, this island looks strange," Zachary couldn't help but say as he looked around.
"They call the island the Netherworld Island. As long as ordinary warriors enter the island, there is no way coming out of it alive," Anne replied.
"Are you sure? But I don't think it's dangerous. There seems to be no maze here but rocks everywhere. There is even no footpath for people to walk on. No one will get lost here." Zachary thought the myth of the island got exaggerated.
"The real Netherworld Island is located in the inner part of the island. What you see now is just the tip of the island," Anne explained as her eyes narrowed a little.
"So, you're saying that the real island is under these rocks?" Taking in her words, Zachary grew a bit curious.
"I'll lead you to the entrance now." After Anne finished speaking, she took Zachary to the south of the Netherworld Island. Not long after, they dropped to a rock poking out from the edge of the island. The end of the rock was a slightly curved path that led to the entrance to the inner part of the Netherworld Island.
"Is this the way in?" Zachary took a good look in front of him.
"I can only take you up until here," Anne continued.
"Master Anne, won't you follow me inside?" Zachary asked at once.
"I can't because if I go in, I won't be able to maintain this spiritual body. Besides, the time limit for me to come out has turned up. It's time to go back," Anne replied, shaking her head.
"What does it mean to maintain the spiritual body?" Zachary gave a perplexed look.
"My body in the system can't be carried out. If I want to come out, I must do it in the form of a spiritual soul, but it can't move freely in this world. Therefore, I have to use the essential power of heaven and earth to make a temporary spir
the system. As soon as the dim Ghost Lamp was out, a faint blue light flickered. The light was not bright, but it could light up the area within ten meters.
"I want to try again." He carefully stepped into the flower field again with the Ghost Lamp in his hand. Then he found that there was a red illuminated path coming from the Ghost Lamp's beam of light, which he had not seen before.
Zachary followed the path intentionally, and the bees hiding in the flower field didn't move at all.
"No wonder Master Anne asked me to fix the Ghost Lamp. It turns out very useful and easy to operate!" Zachary said in surprise.
Although he entered the flower field without trouble, he advanced slowly and carefully with the Ghost Lamp in his hand, in case of an attack that might appear whenever. But the strange thing was, the bees that once attacked him, together with other small martial beasts of Imperial Level that suddenly jumped out from the side, ignored his presence and did nothing to him.
After passing through the flower field, he entered a sparse forest where there was the same red path available for him to follow. Unlike the earlier flower field, this forest looked more creepy because from time to time, gigantic martial beasts passed through on both sides of the woods. They were at the premium stage of Imperial Level, and their headcount was significant. If they attacked him at once, he would have no place to hide.
