Chapter 347: Chapter 192: Inner World, Hunter or Prey?
It was why he sighed to himself.
Now, standing here in person, he felt a powerful wave of disgust wash over him.
Even Chum materialized the huge Knight’s Lance in her hands, clenching her teeth.
As a Judgment Priest, she despised evil.
The only reason she tolerated Lu Cang was because he had never committed any heinous acts, and because Kumironi vouched for him.
But seeing such a cruel scene made Chum grind her teeth in anger.
Lu Cang also furrowed his brow along with everyone else, making a disgusted expression.
He looked at the Dungeon before them and said, "If we rush in, we’ll definitely fall into an ambush."
At the same time, Lu Cang reached out and touched the Dungeon.
Creator: Desocio
The Creator was Di Lao’s father and also a Bishop of the Rose of Shedding Skin.
He had created this passage using the skin of an "Entrance Worm."
Level 6 Skin Takers could even wear the skins of Demons and use their Bloodline Talents.
’High-Level Skin Takers really are unpredictable and bizarre.’
As for this passage...
It was an Inner Layer Passage.
An entrance to the Inner World.
One of many such entrances to the Inner World.
Intentionally placed here.
’Inner Layer?’
’Inner World?’
There seemed to be a theory that the world had another side, which you could enter if you found the right entrance.
Kumironi spoke up, "I’ll go in first."
Lu Cang looked at Kumironi.
’The Divine Level·Destined Death Talent, aside from making people die sooner, actually has another use.’
’Unless I have an extremely strong desire to interfere, their Date of Death generally won’t change much.’
Lu Cang glanced at everyone’s Date of Death.
’Looks like, at the very least, no one will die today.’
"Will you be alright?" Lu Cang asked, feigning concern.
Kumironi turned and smiled. "Yes, I’ll be fine."
Without another word, he stepped into the bright passage before them.
About half a minute later, Kumironi walked out from inside.
"How is it, Kumironi?"
But when Kumironi emerged, his face was troubled.
"Inside..."
"For now, I don’t see any immediate danger. I did a sweep with my Perception and found no ambush, but the situation in there... it’s hard to explain."
"Never mind. You should all come and see for yourselves."
After speaking, Kumironi turned back and plunged into the entrance.
The group exchanged glances. Chi Cheng followed him in. The rest entered in order of their combat strength, from strongest to weakest, which left Chum to go in last...
’Huh? Am I the weakest?’
Chum watched Leng Qingying step in right before her and tilted her head in confusion.
WHOOSH—
Passing through the Teleportation Channel, Lu Cang found himself standing on a desolate, rocky mountain.
Before his eyes was a wide-open world.
The view was incredibly vast, and he could see traces of Demons all over the landscape.
Kumironi was standing right beside him.
It was a bit like the Level 6 Nest Cave he had entered for the first time.
It looked boundless and vast.
However, the Demons were too weak.
A scan with his Perception revealed that the nearby Demons were probably all Tiers One to Three.
Everyone passed through the Teleportation Gate one by one. The scene before them was indeed a bit unexpected.
The terrain here was exactly the same as the landscape around Sel City.
Looking around from atop the high mountain, the surrounding scenery was identical to the terrain around Sel City.
’In other words, the terrain here... is almost identical to the outside world?’
Lu Cang’s head snapped in one direction. ’Is that... the direction of Lorren?’
It was the location where the two leaders of the Rose of Shedding Skin were.
Chi Cheng said, "This place... feels so familiar."
Lu Cang spoke up, "Brother Chi Cheng, this world seems to have the same terrain as the outside."
Chi Cheng exclaimed, "Whoa! Now that you mention it, it really does!"
"So where do we chase them now, brother?"
Chi Cheng didn’t overthink it.
Lu Cang pointed in a direction.
"I think I see some traces left by the Skin Takers over there. Let’s try pursuing them that way."
"Oh, okay."
The group rose and flew off in the direction Lu Cang had pointed.
But Lu Cang stayed behind to investigate a little more.
His Perception didn’t detect any problems.
But he could feel his Spirituality stirring.
An extremely discordant feeling lingered in his heart. This sense of unease was just a faint disturbance, but it hadn’t grown any stronger.
"Lu Cang?"
Lu Luwei’s voice sounded in his mind.
"Lu Luwei, are you feeling a... a spiritual unease?"
"A spiritual unease?"
Lu Luwei’s Spirituality wasn’t as high as Lu Cang’s, so she couldn’t sense anything like that.
To her, everything felt normal.
Besides, Kumironi and Chi Cheng, two powerful experts, hadn’t sensed anything unusual either.
Lu Cang pressed on, "Maybe we should head back first. We should consider if there’s a deeper ambush before we proceed."
But the very instant the words left his mouth, Lu Cang’s premonition flared with a dire warning!
"Retreat!"
Lu Cang roared!
BANG!
A streak of light shot backward, instantly passing through the Teleportation Gate behind him!
BOOM!
Having made no attempt to control his Speed, Lu Cang slammed into the wall with a thunderous crash.
The scene before him reverted to the bloody, sealed room.
However, the Teleportation Gate in front of him had vanished.
The Teleportation Gate had been closed!
If he hadn’t reacted so quickly, he would have been trapped inside as well.
Kumironi, Chi Cheng, Lu Luwei, Leng Qingying, Chum.
They were all trapped in that world.
’It was an ambush!’
’No, how could they have ambushed me!’
’My Perception isn’t affected by any shielding. I scanned that world carefully with my Perception right after I went in!’
’And Kumironi went in first to scout it out!’
’How did they pull off this ambush?’
’No, they just closed the Teleportation Channel. They want to trap us in the Inner World!’
’They’re trying to trap us like fish in a barrel!’
’How dare they? They’re the prey being hunted!’
’Aren’t they afraid of Chi Cheng?’
Lu Cang knew Chi Cheng’s strength perfectly well. Even without Iz and Obades, Chi Cheng alone was likely an unparalleled powerhouse on the Ruelun Continent.
’Not to mention Kumironi is with him.’
’And I’m no weakling, either.’
’Even a Level 6 Skin Taker from the Rose of Shedding Skin should flee at the sight of Chi Cheng.’
’No...’
’Their actions this time were well-prepared.’
Lu Cang’s mind raced. Just then, his Perception detected powerful auras flying toward Sel City from all directions!
Many of them were not human!
