Chapter 234: Surrounded By Enemies (1/2)

As long as one continued heading north they would eventually reach the centre of the Lower Plains and along the way, the energy in the atmosphere would become denser.

With that, the land became bigger, the cultivators and beasts became stronger, and all the dangers were on another level, but the same could be said for the opportunities.

The reason that north on any compass pointing towards the centre of the Lower Plains was because of how the magnetic field and space as a whole was orientated.

In the centre of the Lower Plains is an extremely large black hole in the sea and despite being in the middle of a sea, it formed a bottomless pit known as the forsaken centre that none dared to even get close to.

Around it were all kinds of dangerous creatures and the forsaken centre itself had a strong current and would draw people toward it before ripping them to shreds.

It seemed to be a hole in space and also where the energy in the Lower Plains was being supplied from and around the forsaken centre was where the energy was densest.

Because of that, all the largest and biggest powers were set up around it and it also became a forbidden area that nobody could approach without needing to face many extremely powerful cultivators that guarded it.

The reason for its protection was unknown to even the Jade Empress and it made Lex even more curious to see it for himself and his journey had just begun, so he had no time to waste.

Hesitation, doubt and fear would merely hinder his judgement and Lex had too many things that he wanted to do, achieve and experience to waste his time on a small island.

Although it was the size of the previous continent that he was on, the size of the entire island could only be compared to a small insignificant village on the large continents.

There was still so much to explore on the Lower Plains and Lex had a long way to go and many dangers, enemies and obstacles that he would have to overcome, so he needed to strengthen himself, his companions and the fox beast army as much as possible.

Within a few minutes, all three of them sensed that figures were approaching them from all directions and seemed to be tracking them and closing in on them, attempting to surround them.

Surrounding them made it clear that their intentions weren't peaceful and they were all clearly armed, capable and intelligent and also had laid many traps all over the island that he had to avoid.

Lex was confident in the sharp senses and intelligence of the fox beasts, so didn't worry about them being caught in the traps, and was also confident in their teamwork, combat power and survival skills, so also wasn't worried about them dying.

While he had the Scouting Eye and Perceptive Eye that allowed him to see through any sneak attack, trap or danger that came his way, and Ella and Angela also had their own methods to detect dangers around them.

With that, they were still able to avoid all traps despite their shallow understanding and information about arrays, since the arrays that were used and found don't their previous continent were very basic and simple when compared to the one that they came across on the island so far.
