Ch 2: Demon Abyss

Ka-cha!

Dylan broke his opponent's neck. The man collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon. 

Dylan had no cultivation base and couldn't cultivate or absorb the spirit energy. However, he was hardworking, thus making his body stronger. It was not a problem for him to kill an ordinary villain, not to mention it was he who sneak attacked.

Also, his opponent was too weak, only in the first stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

"What's going on over there?" The people on the other side seemed to have noticed something and asked.

Dylan's face changed, he had a sudden insight and hurriedly lowered his voice, saying, "It's okay, I stepped on a dead mouse."

"Oh! So that's how it is!."

There was no doubt in the other party's tone, and Dylan heaved a sigh of relief. However, this place had already been discovered. If the person he had killed didn't arrive soon enough, it would still arouse the suspicions of others and reveal his target.

What should he do? Run? In the dark, Dylan did not think that he could escape from the hands of so many Martial Lord Realm experts and their people.

"Damn it! If I knew earlier, I would not have come out!" Dylan was anxious in his heart. Amid his anxiousness, he couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the man that he had just killed.

"At this point, this is all we can do. I hope they are not familiar with each other."

Dylan quickly peeled off the other party's clothes, then put them on himself. His thought was to first resolve the crisis in front of him and then find a chance to escape.

This endless night gave Dylan a very good opportunity to conceal himself. After changing his clothes, he touched the ground to feel some dirt on his face. He then swaggered out of the room, muttering to himself happily.

"Damn it, that damned rat's smell is so strong. It's so smelly that I almost puked it out."

"Hehe, you really can find a place. Where did you go after peeing?" A voice not far away answered him.

"Hehe, what bad luck!" Dylan laughed, it seemed that his luck was not bad. The person he killed was someone no one knew.

Just as Dylan was thinking about what to do next. The leader's rough and fierce voice came again, "We'll be continuing now, hurry up and get ready to move. Be quick, and don't dawdle."

"We are going so soon. I just rested for a while."

"Let's go."

Although everyone was complaining, no one dared to disobey the thugs' leader's order. One by one, they got up and organized the troops, preparing to leave. Dylan shook his head helplessly, and could only head out with the team of this gang.

.....

The morning sun rose from the thick clouds at the horizon. Bright rays of light dispersed the darkness, adding a touch of radiance to the land.

The gang led by the Deputy Sect Leader traveled through the forest. They didn't sleep during the night as they traveled, causing everyone's faces to show a strong sense of fatigue.

Even so, they had no intention of stopping to rest.

This team had more than a hundred people. While everyone was hurrying on their way, no one thought that there would be a person who did not belong to their team.

At this time, Dylan was at the very back, his expression somewhat doubtful and anxious. He looked back at the endless mountain forest, it was getting further and further away from the Mystical Peak, what way was there to escape?

"Hey, boy, what are you looking at? Why do I keep seeing you looking behind?"

A suspicious voice sounded, immediately frightening Dylan. A middle-aged man with an unfriendly expression revealed a puzzled expression.

"I'm fine." Dylan tried his best to look calm.

The man frowned and walked to Dylan's side. Then he said, "You look unfamiliar, why have I not met you before?"

Dylan almost broke out in cold sweat as he thought in his heart. But then he calmed his heart, put up a fake expression, giggled, and said, "Big brother, how could someone with a status like yours remember me? I've only just entered the gang a few days ago, so I have to do some chores. It is very normal for you to not know me."

When the man heard him, he raised his eyebrows and patted Dylan's shoulders. Then he laughed, "Haha, not bad, you're quite a clever boy. When our mission is done, you can look for me. I will arrange a good job for you, hahaha!"

"Thank you so much, Big Brother." Dylan laughed while secretly releasing a breath of air. He then kept quiet for some time and thought of something before asking, "Hey, big brother, how much longer until we reach our destination?"

"Hmm... Two days!"

"Two days?"

Dylan weighed the pros and cons for a moment. Fortunately, the distance from Mystical Peak to him was not that far, and he could still accept it. He then calculated the location in his mind. He was stunned and thought to himself, "Could it be that they are going to the Demon Abyss?"

The Demon Abyss was a rather famous and dangerous place. It was surrounded by tall mountains. There lived many dangerous animals. Very few people ever set foot there.

What was this Gang going to do in the Demon Abyss? What mission are they after?

Dylan became more and more bewildered.

After the man replied casually, he turned around and went to another place. Dylan did not dare to follow him and ask, as right now he could only think of one step after another.

The endless mountain range was filled with verdant and lush green trees. It could be said that there was a forest in this mountain range. The creatures living in the forest all hid far away when they sensed the presence of strangers.

The cliff was tens of thousands of feet high, and below it was an unfathomable abyss. At the foot of one of the mountains, nearly two hundred people were gathered. The leader was a burly man with a fierce-looking face. He was the leader of the Gang Dylan is following behind.

"Leader, before noon today, Deputy Leader and the others will arrive." A shady middle-aged man with a beard on his lips said with a sneer.

The Leader's eyes became serious as he said in a deep voice, "Humph, Second Bro is really slow."

"Hehe, you can't blame the Deputy Leader for this. After all, they have to pass Mystical Peak before they could come here. They need to be cautious." The man stroked his beard, his eyes filled with anticipation.

By noon, over a hundred people led by the Deputy Leader had arrived to meet the other people of the Gang.

"Big brother, we came late." The Deputy Leader walked forward with a look of anticipation on his face.

"You weren't caught by the Mystical Peak, right? Did you?"

"Nope." The thug waved his hand and said confidently, "I was careful not to make any noise along the way."

"Mm, that's good." The leader nodded his head and said in a deep voice, "Have our brothers get ready. I have already found the entrance to the Demon Abyss."

"Yes, big brother."

Without any delay, he organized the team. Then the leader led about three hundred men and advanced toward the so-called Demon Abyss.

When they reached the bottom of the abyss, they looked up at the sky and felt as if they were standing at the foot of a mountain.

After being baptized by the passage of time, the two stone walls on both sides of them seemed as if they had been cut by a knife, smooth as a mirror.

Dylan was naturally still mixed within the team. No one noticed this unfamiliar face, because when everyone entered the Abyss, they all felt an inexplicable sense of fear. It was the fear of the unknown.

Dylan also felt this fear, as if a pair of ice-cold hands were resting on his neck, ready to pinch at any moment. Everyone had their hearts in their mouths, even the leader and deputy leader. Because there were too many unknown factors in the Demon Abyss.

The bottom of the abyss was very wide and the distance between the two mountains was over a hundred meters apart. The surrounding temperature was extremely low and was covered with many mosses and negative plants. From time to time, there would also be two little snakes crawling over. Other than that, there were only the bones of some animals. They must have fallen from above and died from their fall.

Time passed second by second, and everyone entered the inner part of the abyss. Everything around them seemed normal, but the palpitations that lingered in their hearts were getting stronger and stronger.

"Big brother, we've almost covered half the distance and we haven't found anything!" The Deputy Leader looked confused and asked.

The Leader licked his dry lips and said, "Don't be upset yet. Maybe it is right in front."
