The first layer of the dimensional maze is an endless grassland.
Scattered demonic creature corpses lie everywhere, and adhering to the principle of not wasting, Wen Yu walked while using the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to absorb the essence from the flesh and blood until he felt a slight resistance from the vine, prompting him to stop.
“Human corpses, huh? Yes, they’ve been dead for some time. They should be a member of Walter's squad, who were among the first to enter here,” he mused.
With a casual wave of dark energy, Wen Yu blew a deep pit into the ground, then used the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to sweep the blood and flesh into it before covering it with dirt.
Others might not have the time, or be afraid of unknown dangers, but Wen Yu was not scared. He held a proper respect for the humans who died here—at the very least, these warriors deserved a grave instead of being left to rot in the wilderness.
After completing this small task, Wen Yu raised his watch to check his direction and walked forward slowly.
“Hmm, sixty-eight demonic clan corpses. From the feedback of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, sixty-two are peak sixth-level demonic creatures, and six are limit breaker level demonic creatures. From this, it seems that the battle concluded with Walter's squad victorious in a short time, and judging by the state of the corpses, it should have been Walter who did this. Tsk, tsk, Walter has really become something remarkable now…”
Wen Yu took a moment to assess Walter's rough power level. After finishing this, the next teleportation pathway was already in sight.
Upon entering the teleportation passage, the dizziness faded, and his surroundings turned into an ice field.
Once again, corpses lay scattered everywhere, but this time there was no loss of soldiers, all the bodies belonged to the demonic clan. After a brief glance and checking his direction, Wen Yu moved deeper into the dimensional maze.
As he passed through scenes and wonders, it didn’t take long before Wen Yu arrived at a deserted desert.
“On the way, I’ve seen five hundred eighty-two demonic clan corpses, three humans, and a large amount of blood belonging to Walter. Yes, the quantity is significant; all three bodies should belong to Walter's squad. Even Walter himself is severely injured, but you guys have lost your way a bit here.”
Checking the pointer on his watch, Wen Yu looked around. At that moment, the pointer clearly indicated a location to his right, but according to the feedback from the soul connection, the one-eyed Xing and Lolo were currently in the unknown space before Wen Yu…
In one space, there were multiple teleportation pathways—yet Walter and the one-eyed Xing had both entered the wrong space.
Wen Yu easily imagined the scene—Walter, injured and panicking, fled into the wrong space, where certain dangerous events occurred, trapping him. Following Walter's aura, Xing found this place and, with the intention of saving Walter first before dealing with the dimensional maze, Xing also brought the team into the current space, only to fall into an illusion…
The process might have some deviations, but the general situation should be like this.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu stared ahead into the unknown, and a smile full of interest crept onto his face.
“Let me see what kind of fun things are inside…”
…
It was dark, but the air was relatively fresh, with a misty drizzle.
This was Wen Yu's first impression after teleporting. As his sight slowly brightened, he found himself in a narrow and dilapidated alley.
A gray-blue wall stood directly in front of him. Wen Yu glanced at his body—a height of about one meter fifty, wearing the uniform of the third middle school in M City.
“Slap.”
A sudden sound of a slap came from behind him, and Wen Yu felt a strong force strike the back of his head, causing his neck to bend forward violently, and his forehead crashed hard against the wall in front of him.
“Boom.”
“Kid, do you have money?”
A casual voice came from behind. Hearing the familiar tone, memories buried in Wen Yu's mind began to awaken.
