"The other side of the Dead Sea is gone?"
Ye Ling frowned as he looked at the two maps of the Dead Sea. He then materialized his own drawn map and asked Long Yu, "Long Yu, has the current situation of the Dead Sea ever occurred in the Hidden Ruins before?"
Long Yu took Ye Ling's drawn map, his expression also becoming solemn. He shook his head, "Although I spent most of my time in the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land, I occasionally moved within the Hidden Ruins and had some understanding of the other three fierce lands."
"As far as I know, this situation has never happened in the Dead Sea."
"Then someone must have reached here before us."
Speaking of this, Ye Ling suddenly remembered the mysterious man who fought Long Yu in the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land. A sudden inspiration struck him, and he covered the entire Dead Sea in front of him with his divine soul.
Long Yu, who was still pondering what was wrong with the Dead Sea, suddenly sensed Ye Ling releasing an extremely powerful soul force. He looked at Ye Ling in shock, "Boss... what are you trying to do?"
Ye Ling: "I have a hypothesis, and I'm going to test it now."
As his voice fell, Ye Ling violently manipulated his soul force and smashed it towards the Dead Sea!
BOOM!!!
A huge sound came from the Dead Sea. The boundless Dead Sea was completely overturned by Ye Ling at this moment!
Endless seawater floated in the sky, revealing the seabed of the Dead Sea.
In an instant, the Dead Sea turned into land.
Long Yu and Xiao Yu on the beach were dumbfounded.
"This, this..."
Long Yu opened his mouth, staring intently at the seawater suspended in the sky, completely at a loss for words to describe his feelings.
Ye Ling...
Had truly annihilated the Dead Sea!
After lifting the entire Dead Sea, Ye Ling directly teleported to the seabed of the Dead Sea and placed his hand on the ground.
"World."
With a soft whisper, Ye Ling's power covered the entire seabed, and then the seabed also turned into particles, revealing the void beneath the seabed!
"As expected, it's that guy's doing!"
Ye Ling quickly scanned all the surrounding particles, then teleported back to the beach. The seabed returned to its original state, and the seawater suspended in the sky crashed down!
BOOM!!!
As the endless seawater fell, the Dead Sea was filled again.
After watching everything Ye Ling had done, Long Yu turned to look at Ye Ling, unable to even utter a complete sentence.
At this moment, his heart was filled with nothing but shock.
Ye Ling said, "I found the aura of the mysterious man I fought with earlier beneath the Dead Sea... It seems that him approaching you before was not a coincidence."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Long Yu came back to his senses and frowned, "The demon's true goal is the four fierce lands in the Hidden Ruins? But these four fierce lands are places for the rulers participating in the ranking competition to train. What does that guy want to do in the four fierce lands?"
"Perhaps... he's after this stone tablet."
Ye Ling took out the stone tablet he had retrieved from the Hidden Dragon Fierce Land. "This stone tablet is just a piece of a puzzle. Yet, such a piece of a puzzle is worth as much as a Karma Skill... and the complete object formed by the stone tablets would be worth far more than a Karma Skill."
"Such a thing is bound to attract countless covetous eyes. It's not impossible for that mysterious man to target it."
Long Yu: "Then boss, how do we get to that guy? Now that the Dead Sea has been tampered with and the other side has disappeared, we can't even enter the core area of the Dead Sea."
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Ling put away the stone tablet. "You two should use more Mind-Awakening Jellyfish. When I was decomposing the seabed, I discovered a strange spatial fluctuation. The other side of the Dead Sea should have been cut into another space."
"I have located that space and can take you there now."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Long Yu and Xiao Yu did not dare to hesitate. They immediately took out a large amount of Mind-Awakening Jellyfish and drank it down.
After drinking the Mind-Awakening Jellyfish, Long Yu saw that Ye Ling did not drink any and asked, "Boss? Why aren't you drinking the Mind-Awakening Jellyfish?"
"The mist of the Dead Sea is no joke. Without the protection of the Mind-Awakening Jellyfish, no matter how strong one's power, they will get lost in it."
"I have already deconstructed the Mind-Awakening Jellyfish and understood the principle of its spiritual protection. I no longer need the Mind-Awakening Jellyfish."
Ye Ling replied to Long Yu briefly, then activated Absolute Divine Movement, teleporting them away together.
...
The other end of the Dead Sea.
Endless mist shrouded the sea surface. Ye Ling and the two of them teleported to the sea surface and were engulfed by the mist.
"Yes, yes, yes! This is the core area of the Dead Sea!"
Upon seeing the surrounding mist, Long Yu immediately shouted excitedly, "Now we have truly entered the core area of the Dead Sea!"
Ye Ling glanced at the surrounding mist, then focused his attention on Long Yu!
Seeing Ye Ling's gaze, Xiao Yu also moved a little closer to Ye Ling.
Long Yu, who was initially excited, suddenly found Ye Ling staring at him and was stunned, "B-Boss? Why are you staring at me? I'm getting a little embarrassed."
Ye Ling did not answer, but instead, took Xiao Yu and disappeared into the mist, leaving Long Yu standing alone.
"Boss? Boss!"
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly take Xiao Yu away, Long Yu was completely bewildered, completely unable to understand what had happened.
He called out to Ye Ling a few times in the mist, but received no response.
On the other side, within the mist.
Xiao Yu looked at Ye Ling in front of her and asked curiously, "Sir... why didn't you let me drink the Mind-Awakening Jellyfish? Isn't that something that can resist the mist?"
Ye Ling: "The Mind-Awakening Jellyfish is not as simple as you think. It forcibly keeps you awake by moistening your soul. Although this thing can prevent you from falling into illusions, it can also easily manipulate your spirit."
Xiao Yu: "If that's the case, then why did you let Long Yu drink it? Do you suspect him of having ill intentions towards you?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "No... I don't suspect Long Yu, but that doesn't mean he won't be used."
"You just follow behind me and watch carefully... After what happens next, you will understand everything."
Saying this, Ye Ling couldn't help but pause and look at Xiao Yu a couple more times.
For some reason, he seemed to regard Xiao Yu as a disciple like Bai Lan, inexplicably having absolute trust in Xiao Yu, and even started to subconsciously teach her.
'What is going on? This shouldn't be happening...'
Ye Ling was somewhat confused, not understanding why he trusted Xiao Yu so much.
"Oh..."
However, Xiao Yu was unaware of Ye Ling's thoughts. She replied obediently, then quietly stood behind Ye Ling, observing Long Yu in the mist.
The other end of the Dead Sea, the mist grew thicker and thicker.
