Chapter 493 - Northern Abyss (1/2)
“Good day, Master Chui Yang! As you wis.h.!.+”
The surname Chui was very special in Beihua City.
The family was once the dominant force in this city because they were led by a powerful A-tier apt.i.tude user—The Fire Lord Chui Lian. It was well respected across the continent in Qin Feng’s past life.
No one would have thought that Chui Lian’s life would be unexpectedly taken in an accident. Ever since his pa.s.sing, the family plunged from being the most prestigious family in Beihua into a declining, no-longer-relevant faction.
The reason the family was still holding a place in Beihua was thanks to their A-tier elder, who was more than one hundred years old. Thus, people in Beihua city, especially those from the middle and lower cla.s.ses, would still give face to the Chui family despite them falling out of favor.
“Young Master, do you need to find more men to go with you?” A B-tier apt.i.tude user known as Liu Yue asked. He was sent by the family to make sure that Chui Yang would pa.s.s the C-tier a.s.sessment safely.
“There’s no need for that. We are not exploring deep. Just follow the couple from earlier.” Chui Yang waved his hand impatiently.
“Okay. Please get into the car, Young Master. We will head out of town.”
“Alright.”
The two men got into a hover tank. It would take half an hour to get out of the town. Once outside, they would need to take the hover copter to reach the destination.
Chui Yang initially thought that it would be easy to catch up to Qin Feng. To their surprise, the two unknown apt.i.tude users were driving a more powerful vehicle. They accelerated to max speed but could hardly shorten the gap.
Qin Feng’s Silver Bolt and Sky Dweller were no longer the same vehicles from when he first bought them. Guo Guan had replaced the turbo and hover system with more powerful units. Their speed probably would not lose to the fastest car and chopper in the market.
Inside the Sky Dweller, Qin Feng frowned slightly as he could sense they were being followed.
“Hubby, why are those two from before following us? Should we shake them off?” Bai Li asked.
“It’s fine. Just let them be.”
“Okay. I don’t sense any hostility from them anyway.”
“Of course there isn’t. They are just being curious and probably coveted by your beauty!” Qin Feng shook his head.
Sky Dweller traveled safely through the sky. The sky and the ground around Beihua City were being constantly swept. That was because it would be terrible if a war were to break out here. There were simply too many rifts around the region. To use a s.p.a.ce stabilizer to secure this area was no longer an option.
The hover copter flew on for another twenty minutes and a hundred-meter-tall wall came into sight. The wall was painted pitch black.
“We have arrived!” Qin Feng said and descended the Sky Dweller.
The Northern Abyss was located among valleys and it was a humongous spatial tunnel that spanned about a hundred meters wide.
Till today, humans were still unable to find a spatial stone large enough to seal off this place.
As such, they opted for the only feasible alternative, which was to completely isolate the spatial tunnel. They moved mountains around it and built a large wall between the gaps. Furthermore, the sky was sealed with a special barrier to imprison the beasts inside a man-made giant fortress.
The beasts arriving from this rift were not highly intelligent. They came to Earth through the large tunnel and would soon figure out that this place was another limited habitat with scarce resources. Most of the mutated beast would thus return to their own worlds after a short while.
This method had successfully contained the abyss for fifty long years.
The ma.s.sive wall was filled with dense dark runes. It was a safety measure to hinder the beast from perceiving the condition outside of the fortress.
The only entrance was being guarded by an elite army. The captains here were all B-tiers. These people glanced at the hover copter briefly and immediately got back to their duty.
