"Okay, since no one wants to leave, let's continue on our way." Shen Luo made the final decision and led everyone forward.
But to their surprise, after walking for about half an hour, the terrain of the canyon ahead suddenly changed, and an extremely huge crack appeared inward and downward.
Everyone stopped in front of the crack in the ground and looked down. They felt that there was a bottomless abyss below them. They could only see wisps of white and black mist flowing together, and could not see what was inside.
After Shen Luo released his spiritual sense to investigate for a while, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "After about thirty miles, there seems to be a layer of restriction covering it, and the spiritual sense can't penetrate it."
"Let's go down and take a look first." Ao Hong said.
After a brief rest, the group began to perform escape techniques and flew downwards.
Before long, everyone felt as if they had passed through an invisible barrier, and the speed of descent suddenly slowed down.
Even Shen Luo, who had the highest level of cultivation among the group, could not increase his speed much even after exerting all his magic power.
"What's going on?" the Tear Demon asked in surprise.
"This is the location of the restriction I told you about before, but now it seems that it is more than just a restriction. The entire space below is different from the outside." Shen Luo said with a frown.
"The density of spiritual energy and demonic energy in the space here is greater, and the spatial resistance is also stronger. But what is strange is that there doesn't seem to be a strong sense of spatial oppression." Nie Caizhu also said.
"It seems that this space has a repulsive force that prevents us from descending quickly." Shen Luo said.
Seeing this, everyone could only fly slowly downwards together.
They soon discovered that the further they went down, the stronger the suppression of their spiritual power became, and soon they could only explore an area of twenty to thirty feet in radius.
"There's fog all around, blocking our vision. Even with our psychic eyes we can't see through it. Plus with our blocked vision we're almost like blind people. If we're attacked by surprise at this distance we won't be able to defend ourselves at all." The Tear Demon couldn't help but worry.
Shen Luo, Ao Hong and the other two are Taiyi realm cultivators with strong physiques, so perhaps they don't have to worry about being attacked at close range. But the others have to worry about this matter, after all, no one knows what dangers are hidden beneath this deep canyon.
"Fellow Daoist Yuanqiu, why don't you release some poisonous insects to serve as our eyes and ears, and explore and protect the surroundings. You can use the connection between you and the poisonous insects to guard us, is that okay?" Shen Luo said after a moment's hesitation.
"My poisonous insect can normally sense me even if it is three thousand feet away. It's hard to say here... But we can give it a try." Yuan Qiu thought for a moment and said.
After saying that, he took off a black cloth bag from his waist, shook it, and opened the bag.
As soon as the cloth bag was opened, tiny dots of faint green light began to light up inside, lighting up one after another like fireflies and flying out from the bag.
Everyone watched as hundreds of rice-sized poisonous insects flew out, danced in all directions, and soon disappeared in the misty fog.
Yuan Qiu also closed his eyes and tried his best to feel the connection between himself and the insect.
After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
