This kind of sinister anomaly, Baiyu is not seeing it for the first time.
Although he hasn't studied it systematically in-depth, seeing it with his own eyes, he can still recognize it.
The black aura floating ahead.
It has a striking similarity to the sinister anomaly that he encountered in Villiduo, which escaped from a rift.
The states of the two are different.
But that feeling remains unchanged.
Yao Shuimei stepped forward, seeing the masses of floating black aura ahead, she whispered, "Mindless sinister anomalies, still not fully formed, without subjective consciousness, lacking strong aggressiveness."
Baiyu silently observed.
The sinister anomaly he encountered in Villiduo clearly had developed self-awareness and could attack people purposefully.
"How are sinister anomalies produced?"
This is Baiyu's first time seeing a scene full of sinister anomalies, drifting around everywhere, and he can't help but ask.
Yao Shuimei bypassed the group of sinister anomalies ahead, choosing a small path, and explained to Baiyu, "I am not clear about the origin of sinister anomalies either. The most reasonable explanation now is that they are the product of various grievances and negative emotions being tainted by evil Extraordinary Powers.
So generally, sinister anomalies appear more often in ancient battlefields, various dangerous places, and areas with many deaths.
As for Demon City.
The Demon Race has been waging wars for years, almost clearing out all other races in the vicinity, hence many places have spawned large groups of sinister anomalies like here.
These sinister anomalies won't actively attack living beings. As long as you don't get close, they're not a threat.
And it takes a long time for mindless sinister anomalies to evolve into ones with awareness and subjective initiative, so these things are left unchecked."
Looking at Yao Shuimei narrating fluently, knowing this place like the back of her hand, Baiyu felt a sense of absurdity.
It seems Yao Shuimei is very familiar with this place.
Whether it's from the route choices or the level of understanding of various aspects, it all proves this point.
"What's so strange about me being familiar with this place?"
Yao Shuimei, seeing Baiyu's expression, couldn't help but laugh, "Don't think we all would stay put in the Kyoto of the East Prosperity Imperial.
In fact.
Most of the upper echelons of the Empire often infiltrate the Spirit Realm to become familiar with and understand the situations of different races.
As the saying goes, know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.
Moreover, we act alone, whether fighting or escaping, it's very convenient. Each time we strike, we can inflict a huge blow on the other races, often more effective than the army.
Just this Demon City.
I've been here no less than twenty times, killed a total of seventeen Great Demons of the Demon Race, so of course, I'm familiar with it."
Baiyu frowned, "Then according to what you say, can't the masters of the demon and other races also infiltrate our gathering places and massacre?"
Yao Shuimei laughed, "The logic is that way, but our biggest advantage is having the Shelter. This is also what troubles the other races and demons the most.
As long as you're inside the Shelter, there's no danger.
As for going into the Spirit Realm, that's a matter of luck.
Generally, strong individuals from other races won't appear around the Shelter, but if you're unlucky enough to encounter them outside, it's pretty much a dead end."
Hearing her explanation, Baiyu nodded in sudden realization.
No wonder the demons and other races spare no cost to attack the Shelter.
The role of the Shelter is even more important than he imagined.
And every Shelter.
Is left by ancient humans, showing how powerful humans were at that time.
Artificial intelligence, warship-class flying airships, biological armor…
These all represent the power of ancient humans.
"After this Black Forest, is the capital city of the Demon Race, Demon City. The Fourth Celestial Demon King descended to the Spirit Realm from the Celestial Demon Pool, and then crossed space to capture people, his power must be greatly diminished, so this time there's a good chance to rescue Qiu Yun, we must seize it.
If the Fourth Celestial Demon King recovers, then it will be difficult."
Yao Shuimei said no more, for convenience in traveling, she directly picked up Baiyu and started advancing with Blood Qi.
With one step, she appeared a thousand meters away.
Much like the mythical tale of Shrinking Inches divine power.
Just like that.
In less than two hours, Yao Shuimei and Baiyu crossed the Black Forest and also the empty, black Great Wilderness, and the outline of a magnificent black city appeared in front of them.
This city was built on a mountain.
Chaotic yet orderly, layer upon layer, towering and unique buildings surrounded the mountainside, continuously extending upwards until the crest.
There stood a giant palace, surrounded by four towering pillars, each emitting black light, collecting at the center and holding a huge black sphere resembling an eyeball.
The sphere constantly rotated, emitting waves of black light, monitoring the entire city.
"This is the Demon Eye, able to monitor the entire Demon City, we must avoid it to enter the city."
Yao Shuimei whispered nearby.
After finishing her words.
She directly took out a bottle of colorless liquid and drank it, then handed another to Baiyu, "The highest-level Concealing Magic Elixir, capable of hiding all aura, synchronizing camouflage with the environment."
Baiyu did not hesitate, took the elixir, and drank it.
A refreshing taste swept through him.
After drinking the elixir, Baiyu felt his whole body lighten, as if he disappeared from the world.
The elixir Yao Shuimei brought out was evidently no ordinary item.
"Though we have the Concealing Magic Elixir, it's still best not to be illuminated by the Surveillance Eye from above, otherwise, we might be discovered.
Anyway, be cautious in all things.
I suppose you also have experience."
Experience?
Baiyu felt a bit puzzled, but thinking Yao Shuimei referred to his infiltration experience, he didn't dwell on it.
