Chapter 1766: Something Happened
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After ending the chat with Xia Bing, Lin Huang did not stay on the abyssal zone’s second level.
On one hand, he had killed many monsters on this level.
On the other hand, he had found a major dao-level Raider on this level. Based on probability, the chances of a second Raider appearing here was low.
The first thing Lin Huang did when he arrived at the third level of the abyssal zone was to activate the long-distance ocular skill to probe.
The ability levels of the monsters on this level were similar to what he had expected. Most of them had mastered between 200,000 to 400,000 Dao seals.
After probing for a little bit, he soon went into hunting mode.
Two days passed as time flew by.
Lin Huang merely used two days to complete the probing of this entire level.
It was not that the level’s area was small, but rather that he had given up on half of the hunting opportunities. He would basically give up on hunting monsters that would require him to deviate from his planned route by more than 30 degrees.
Throughout those two days, he had basically figured out the situation on the third level.
There were much fewer explorers on this level compared to the second level. There were only three of them.
Throughout the two-day observation period, he did not notice anything off about them.
Considering that there was not much time left for the exploration, Lin Huang did not continue to stay. He went over to the fourth level on the third day before dawn.
On the fourth level of the abyssal zone, most of the monsters had mastered between 400,000 to 600,000 Dao seals.
Lin Huang hunted for two days again and then probed the entire fourth level.
The number of explorers on the fourth level was the same as the third level. There were only three of them here as well.
One of them was Lin Huang’s colleague from Royal—Yue Wu.
As Yue Wu was a sword cultivator as well, Lin Huang had actually focused on him throughout these two days.
It was not that he suspected him, but he wanted to see how powerful a major dao-level sword cultivator was.
Yue Wu had mastered some 600,000 Dao seals.
Therefore, he had a suppressive upper hand over almost all of the monsters on this level.
As a sword cultivator had powerful attacking capabilities, he attacked face-on when he ran into sword-type monsters with 600,000 Dao seals a few times. Not only that, he suppressed them the entire time they fought.
The other monsters had no way of defeating him when they ran into him. As soon as they approached him, they basically had no chance of fighting back at all.
Including Yue Wu, the three of them did not show any unusual behavior throughout the three days of observation.
Lin Huang did not hesitate further and went straight over to the fifth level.
Most of the monsters on the fifth level had mastered 600,000 to 800,000 Dao seals.
In reality, among major dao-level characters, monsters that had mastered such a large number of Dao seals could be considered powerhouses.
Lin Huang found a total of five explorers on this level.
As there were more people, and given that there was one week left until the end of the exploration, he stayed for three days on this level.
However throughout the three-day observation period, the five explorers did not show any unusual signs as well.
Lin Huang did not plan on wasting his time so he went to the sixth level directly.
The monsters on this level had mastered more than 800,000 Dao seals.
Lin Huang knew that the limit of Dao seals a major dao-level cultivator could master was a million and 80,000.
He merely probed a little bit and thought that this level should be the last level of the abyssal zone.
The reason being was that he sensed a couple of monsters whose strength of aura had surpassed a million and 80,000 Dao seals.
Moreover, this mystic territory was not opened to entities above dao-level. Therefore, it was quite impossible that local monsters that surpassed dao-level would exist here.
However, throughout the two days of probing the entire sixth level, Lin Huang had only discovered two major dao-level explorers.
One of them was a colleague from Royal—Chi Yao.
What made Lin Huang suspicious was that Xia Bing was not on this level.
He could understand that, among the 21 major dao-level explorers, some of them might not have been teleported to the abyssal zone.
However, he knew that Xia Bing was teleported here since the beginning. Furthermore, when he contacted her last time, she was still in the abyssal zone.
If she had left, theoretically, she would tell him.
After all, they had agreed to work together.
However, Lin Huang strolled through the entire sixth level over the past two days, yet no trace of Xia Bing was found.
“Don’t tell me something happened?” Lin Huang frowned as he took out the voice transmission charm. He left a message by inserting Divine Telekinesis into it.
“Where are you?”
Lin Huang stood where he was and waited patiently after sending the message.
However, one minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes…
Over an hour passed by, but he did not get a reply.
“Did something really happen?!” Lin Huang’s heart sank gradually.
The voice transmission charm would vibrate every time it received a message. It would vibrate even if it was kept in the storage space. When there was motion in the storage space, the carrier would sense it instantly. Therefore, theoretically, it was quite impossible for Xia Bing not to see the message he had sent.
Judging by Xia Bing’s reply speed, she would reply after three minutes at most; she would even reply instantly most of the time.
However, there was no response after an hour. Clearly, something was off.
Two possibilities flashed through Lin Huang’s head.
One was that Xia Bing was killed!
The other one was that for some reason she did not see the message on the voice transmission charm.
No matter which possibility it was, it was bad news.
Lin Huang soon made a hypothesis regarding the two possibilities.
When he was considering the first possibility, a figure appeared in his mind—Householder White Brow from the Longevity Tribe!
Before entering the mystic territory, among the 21 major dao-level powerhouses, Lin Huang only had a deep impression of two people.
One was Xia Bing, while the other was Householder White Brow.
The reason being was that the two of them mastered more than a million Dao seals. They gave him a clear sense of threat.
To him, among all of the explorers, Householder White Brow might be the only one who had the capability to fight Xia Bing.
More importantly, Lin Huang indeed had not seen Householder White Brow in the abyssal zone. That made Householder White Brow even more suspicious.
However, he did not rule out other suspects completely because of that. The reason for that was that perhaps some people managed to conceal their abilities or even avoid his senses.
Lin Huang was eliminating names one after another in his head quickly.
Excluding himself, there were only a total of 21 major dao-level powerhouses who entered the mystic territory this time.
Among them, seven were on the second level, three on the third level, and also three each on the fourth and fifth level.
There were a total of 16 people. He saw them in the abyssal zone, as well as observed them.
The other one was killed by Yan Jun before he came into the abyssal zone.
Theoretically, what happened to Xia Bing should have nothing to do with the 17th person.
After eliminating the 17 people, the last three were suspicious.
Householder White Brow from the Longevity Tribe!
Jin Feng from Snow Kingdom!
Hu Shan from Star Cluster!
