Chapter 2468 Pursuit
Chapter 2468 Pursuit
On the vehicle seat, Simone briefly recounted his background to Fang Heng, "The invitation card was obtained by the Elders Council of our clan a long time ago. It was said that at the White Abyss Arena, we could obtain everything we desire, provided we prove our strength and pay some price."
Listening to Simone's account, Fang Heng stroked his chin and fell into thought.
White Abyss Arena?
Recalling the intelligence gathered from the World of Forests, White Abyss Arena was likely a place established to filter and seal demonic seeds.
"Where is the White Abyss Arena located?"
"Ah,..." Simone paused in surprise, then said, "I don't know either. It's my first time here, and I thought you might know. The information I have is that the White Abyss Arena is at the center of the White Abyss, and it's visible from a distance."
Fang Heng pulled out his phone and searched.
Soon, the answer appeared in the browser.
The center of the world.
The Tower of the White Abyss.
Fang Heng carefully examined a photo of the Tower of the White Abyss he had found online.
The photo showed a towering spire reaching into the clouds.
The tower's outer walls were covered in concentric circles of secret engravings.
Special characters.
Fang Heng recognized that many of them were verses praising hell.
It indeed resembled something constructed by the demonic seed of 'Jealousy'.
"I understand now."
Fang Heng pondered for a moment before opening the navigation to the Tower of the White Abyss.
The Tower of the White Abyss was not far from their current location in the city. At full throttle, it would take about five hours to drive there.
If they opted for public transport...
The security of public transportation in this world was uncertain, which might pose some trouble.
As Fang Heng contemplated, he glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "By the way, the car behind us has been following for a while. Do you recognize her?"
Simone's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned to look out the rear window.
A red Chevrolet was tailing them.
In the driver's seat was a young, attractive woman.
Her bright red lipstick made her features even more striking.
"I don't recognize her."
"She's probably here for the invitation card."
Fang Heng shrugged, hit the brakes to pull over, and got out of the car with Simone.
The red Chevrolet also stopped, and a young woman with a side-swept fringe got out of the car.
The woman looked at Fang Heng and Simone, and said coldly, "I know you have an invitation card to the White Abyss. Name your price."
Fang Heng glanced at her and replied coldly, "Not interested. Leave."
Zhuang Yufei's face turned cold, "What did you say?"
"I said, get your people to leave. Don't bother us. Understand?" Fang Heng shook his head. "If you continue to follow us, don't blame us for being impolite."
"Hmph!"
Zhuang Yufei snorted and quickly approached Fang Heng, her fingers extending into sharp, pointed claws.
"Mr. Fang, watch out! Leave her to me!"
Simone shouted, stepping forward to shield Fang Heng, trying to block Zhuang Yufei.
Zhuang Yufei's face was icy, and a smirk of derision appeared at the corner of her mouth as if mocking Simone's audacity.
"Courting death..."
Just before the two sides were about to collide, Zhuang Yufei's pupils suddenly constricted.
What!
She felt a severe impact on her sea of consciousness, instantly plunging into a momentary daze.
"Boom!!!"
In the next instant, Simone's body slammed into her, sending Zhuang Yufei flying like a projectile into the trees outside the road barrier.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Boom!!!"
Zhuang Yufei crashed through several tree trunks before finally coming to a halt against a rock.
"You bastard..."
Zhuang Yufei clenched her teeth, pressing her hand against her dislocated shoulder. She pushed aside the tree trunk pinning her down and slowly stood up, a faint black mist enveloping her body, her eyes cold and menacing.
"Psychic abilities... playing dirty!"
Hmm?!
Where did they go?
After standing up, Zhuang Yufei looked around again, only to find that Fang Heng and Simone had vanished from sight. Her brow furrowed as she looked up into the sky.
Beneath the night sky, a shadow was swiftly carrying Simone away into the distance.
D*mn it!
She was too careless!
Zhuang Yufei clenched her fists.
She didn't possess flight abilities herself, and her targets had already escaped. It was too late to pursue them now.
Upon reflection, it seemed she had been set up from the very beginning. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Behind Zhuang Yufei, car headlights slowly approached.
A pickup truck came to a halt beside her.
The elder in the driver's seat leaned out of the car window and asked Zhuang Yufei, "Failed?"
"Hmph, it was just a moment of carelessness and an ambush," Zhuang Yufei snorted heavily, clearly unwilling to accept her defeat. She added in a deep voice, "Wait for me. I'll catch up with them soon..."
"Forget it. There's no time. Jing Ge'er has already found another infiltration method, and the special potion needs to be taken in advance. We need to move immediately to join them."
Zhuang Yufei clenched her fists lightly and looked up at the sky once more, clearly reluctant to let go of Fang Heng and Simone so easily.
"Get in the car. There's news that Bai Mu and the others have also found a way into the White Abyss Arena. We need to hurry. If they mess things up, it will be troublesome."
"Fine. They're lucky this time."
In the distance, under the night sky, Fang Heng, in his bat form, was flying rapidly with Simone toward the horizon.
"Mr. Fang..."
Simone was astonished to see Fang Heng's ability, taken aback by the sight.
However, as soon as he spoke, a gust of wind rushed into his mouth.
After advancing to the King-level bloodline, Fang Heng could control the size of his bat form to a certain extent.
Carrying an extra person did not affect his flight significantly.
Considering there were other pursuers behind them, Fang Heng decided it would be simpler to use his bat form to fly straight back to the White Abyss Arena.
It was more convenient that way.
"This place is not far from the White Abyss Arena. We'll arrive soon, in about two hours."
Meanwhile, Bai Mu had wandered around the village in the city but still couldn't find any sign of Fang Heng.
"Strange, where is Fang Heng? Could he have run off by himself?"
It was odd. The teleportation item he provided confirmed that Fang Heng was in the vicinity of the village after entering the game.
Why couldn't he find him after searching for so long?
Since he had spent some time finding the method to enter the White Abyss Arena, he was 20 minutes late from the agreed time.
Had Fang Heng disappeared just like that?
Considering the need to quickly find a way to infiltrate the White Abyss Arena, Bai Mu decided to stop searching for now, go offline, and contact Old Black.
....
At 4:30 in the early morning, the first light of dawn began to rise from the horizon.
Fang Heng saw the towering White Abyss Arena standing on the horizon.
The colossal cylindrical structure was far larger than the photos suggested, soaring into the clouds and resembling a giant sword piercing the ground from a distance.
"Seed of Jealousy..."
Fang Heng murmured, gazing ahead.
There was a defensive barrier in the high sky, invisible to the naked eye.
It seemed that the area above was a no-fly zone.
Wanting to avoid trouble, Fang Heng slowly descended with Simone, flagged down a car, and sped toward the city where the White Abyss Arena was located.
The city surrounding the White Abyss Arena was encircled by towering white city walls.
