After Grandma Wu Teng left, Yue Bing took out a map of the Soaring Dragon Continent and spread it out on the table, letting everyone else see it as well.
Despair Abyss wasn’t located in the Soaring Dragon Continent. This was the biggest problem.
In order to get into the Despair Abyss, one must go to the Tian Luo Kingdom.
In another sense, Despair Abyss was like Gui Jian Chou, another one of the Five Great Land of Deaths. However, it was also very different from Gui Jian Chou. Despair Abyss was not a place that a normal person could go to. Every spring and summer, there would be countless adventurers venturing into Despair Abyss to pick herbs. There would also be thieves trying to steal demon beasts’ eggs. However, due to the high death rate, especially in the inner regions of Despair Abyss, only 10% of those adventurers that risked their lives and entered would come back alive. Hence, when normal mercenaries heard from their leader that they were going to Despair Abyss, they would write their wills and say farewell to their families… After a long time, this deep rift valley which was originally called Coiling Snakes Valley was renamed as Despair Abyss.
Amongst the three main causes of deaths in Despair Abyss, the first one was not due to ferocious beasts, but the terrain instead.
The death rate due to falls while walking in this rift valley was extremely high. There was a high chance of falling at any time, even higher than the chances of getting killed by beasts. The second cause of death was the mountain winds. It was said that those biting cold winds could easily blow a herd of goats several miles away, let alone people. The third cause was Spider Demonesses. No matter if it was the gigantic Bloody Nest’s Queen or the miniature Funnel Spider Demoness, they were all champions in causing death.
The spiders all belonged to the same species, the Wolf Spider, which was able to crawl and climb at an extremely fast speed. There were Bird Spiders that preyed on birds, Sand-drilling Spider that could hide under the ground and Dark-water Spiders, that would hide underwater and launch a sneak attack on its preys at any time. All these spiders were like countless killing machines scattered all over the valley.
The most frightening thing was that the spiders here loved to eat humans.
Between humans and animals, these spiders would attack humans first. This was the reason for the despair of the adventurers.
“We should first prepare our luggage well and then teleport to Crowleaf City. There, we can take a horse carriage to Sand Gate to cross the country’s borders. Afterwards, we can teleport to Waterbull City, then teleport to Mountain Cats City and then hire a carriage to the Coiling Snakes Town. We can buy the detailed map of Despair Abyss when we arrive there.” Although Ye Kong had never gone to Despair Abyss before, he had plenty of experience, so he could quickly come up with the shortest path. The only thing that Yue Yang needed to do was to nod his head.
