Chapter 595: “A New Step of Our Journey Begins” (1/2)

”So this is the No-Man's Land that you have described?”

Xue Wei stood on top of a cliff. The cliff was not high, only around ten meters, but it felt as if they would enter another world the moment they jumped down.

Although the area they had crossed so far felt different from the rest of the world, the No-Man's Land that was spread in front of them was truly hard to describe.

Unlike the Ghost Realm, it did not seem desolate. There were plants, but none of them were very tall, and most of them were brown and withered.

The ground itself was, right below the cliff, covered in sand, but in the distance, one could see various environments appearing. To one side, something resembling a jungle seemed to appear, but on the other, a strange swamp had sunk into the ground.

The No-Man's Land was truly a dangerous place, as the landscape would change, and one never knew what to expect. Some of these places would have weaker beasts residing within them, while others would be home to strong and fierce beasts that could cause them a great deal of trouble.

Xue Wei's expression was grave, but he could not deny that a sense of eagerness arose within him.

As he stood on the cliff and looked at the land that spread out in front of him, he could not help but feel as if he was balancing on the edge of life and death.

Retreat would mean death, but even moving forward did not promise great chances for success. Even so, he had no other option, and this hopeless situation had ignited his will to fight.

Although the future was uncertain, he would never give up before he had done his best. This unyielding spirit had made him more solemn than before, and also more mature.

His previous attitude had been heavily influenced by his negative emotions. He had fought for survival, but he had also held an innate hostility that could not be dispersed.

Everything he did was for the sake of him and his friends, but he always viewed themselves as a group that was up against the rest of the world.

Even the other Sovereign Beast Clans were nothing more than partners that could provide certain benefits, but required something in return. He never considered himself part of this group, and felt as if the entire world was his enemy.

It was not before now that he understood that they were not enemies. Also, the world was not split into friends and enemies, and many could be complete strangers who would have neutral impressions of others.

However, although his life had gained many more nuances, he did not have the time to experience these changes yet.
