530 Dark Abyss, Ten Thousand Corpses Pit, Part Two (2/2)

On top of that, in the middle of the red areas, a black dot suddenly flickered.

Black implied that it was a forbidden land for humans!

A purple area was already considered a kingdom of demon beasts, where even the Supreme Magicians had little chance of surviving. Above that, a black area meant that any living thing had zero chance of surviving.

Somehow, in the midst of the red, a black dot had appeared!

It was a sign that the most terrifying thing in the Land of the Undead had appeared.

”Is there something wrong with the device? Why would there be black? It literally means the Undead are stacking up into mountains,” a young member of the Magic Association scoffed with a smile, before looking at the Vice Chairman Peng Yu. He quickly withdrew the smile on his face when he saw the stern look on the Vice Chairman's face.

”You know nothing! This means that the Dark Abyss has appeared!” the woman shot back, her voice rising as her control wavered.

”Dark Abyss? I've been here for quite some time, but I've never heard of that...,” replied the young man uncertainly.

Vice Chairman Peng Yu exhaled deeply after some time and said, ”Did you say that the area would only be black when the zombies are stacking up into mountains?”

”Yeah, no matter how dense the zombies are, there's no way it would reach that level,” said the young man.

”The truth is, that's exactly what the Dark Abyss looks like. It's also known as the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit, or the Abyss of Hell. The device won't make a mistake, a Dark Abyss has indeed appeared to the west of Sunny Goat Village...”

”No...no way?” the young man's face stiffened.

”Tell the other factions that a Dark Abyss has appeared! Even this thing has shown itself in the Land of the Undead. If we can't find the reason behind it, this whole place is going to turn into Hell!” said Vice Chairman Peng Yu sternly.

It was common for the Undead to roam around the Ancient Capital. For thousands of years, humans here had learned how to co-exist with the Undead.

However, since the extraordinary behavior of the Drifting Sand River, this land had gone out of control as well. More Undead began to appear before nightfall, and high-level creatures were spotted in human territories. Even this pit, the closest thing to what Hell, looked like it had appeared. Wasn't all this enough to imply that something big was about to happen?

The Ancient Capital had stood firmly for thousands of years despite the Undead having their eyes on the city all along. The people here had learned how to defend themselves and fight against the Undead in a never-ending war that had lasted for a few thousand years...

Undead appearing in the daytime, the restless zombies, the appearance of the Dark Abyss... there had to be a reason behind it all!

It was said that the river flowing from the mountain close to the Sunny Goat Village was the cleanest around dawn, perfect for brewing tea.

Su Xiaoluo would rise from her bed when the sun had just risen to fetch water from the river. She would carry buckets of it back and pour them into the tanks at her house. Not only did her dad need the water to brew some nice tea, the water was crucial for bathing, too.

On this day, she had gone to retrieve some water as usual. Even though she could hear the cries of zombies in the distance, she was not afraid.

She scooped the water up and immediately discovered the water was red when she was about to pour it into the bucket.

The water had the smell of blood. Su Xiaoluo frowned in annoyance, assuming that a stupid zombie had ended up in the upstream again...

She glanced upward at the upstream and saw a man covered in blood lying on the ground. Half of his body was in the water.

The blood continued to flow from his body. The man had died a terrible death!

Su Xiaoluo was rather daring, having lived so close to the undead all her life. She walked up to the body and flipped it over.

”He's still breathing… someone, help!” Su Xiaoluo immediately called for the villagers when she discovered that the man was still barely breathing.
