Chapter 640: Chapter 424 Saint Aye’s Town_3 Chapter 640: Chapter 424 Saint Aye’s Town_3 Immediately, the old man’s breath grew faint until it dissipated.
Beneath the tree behind the wooden chair, a tiny white snake the size of a finger wriggled away into the distance, only to be gently caught by a palm.
The little white snake curled up reflexively and raised its head, looking at the stranger with its emerald-green eyes, but in that instant, time seemed to stop.
Only a gentle voice could be heard:
“Interesting little fellow, we seem to have quite the connection… I’ll take this snake to the Cemetery, the endless hours of ennui could use some company.”
The third level of the Spirit World.
In the dim surroundings.
Chen Lun’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He sensed that his connection with the white snake he had left in Saint Aye’s Town was abruptly severed, along with the last images and sounds the snake had recorded.
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
While exchanging with Team Leader Marta at the Shelter, he had learned of a legend from Saint Aye’s Town.
The local elders claimed that an Angel silently watched over the place, which was why Saint Aye’s Town was so peaceful, but only those on the verge of death could see Him, to receive His invitation to the Divine Kingdom… Still, it was just a legend, as even the Empire’s officials could find no substantiating evidence.
So much so that the Shelter merely considered it a rumor, paying it no heed.
But through the observations of the old man by the white snake and the abrupt disconnection, Chen Lun realized the legend might not be false after all…
‘If there really is an Angel in Saint Aye’s Town, then the peculiar disappearance of the pollution would make sense… But how could such a significant figure exist in an ordinary small town?’
Chen Lun pondered, his mind suddenly flashing with a thought.
‘Seth Mitchell… the Recorder of that manuscript, could it be him?’
He thought for a moment, took another deep breath, and decided to set these thoughts aside.
‘Forget it, let’s focus on the task at hand.’
Chen Lun led the exploration team of group one to begin their exploration of the third level of the Spirit World.
For several consecutive days, they spent their time in the dark environment, discovering two more sources of pollution, which also indirectly indicated how serious the pollution in the Spirit World was.
Not until a week later.
Chen Lun lit a campfire on the dim clearing and looked at the team members seated in a circle, saying in a heavy voice:
“During this period, we have found many pollution sources and eliminated them… however, for the turbulence in the entire Spirit World, this is merely a drop in the ocean, and continuing is too wasteful of time and energy.”
He pointed to the borderland not far from the campfire, where the light was dimming to the utmost, deep and unfathomable.
“Now we have reached the deepest parts of the third layer of the Spirit World, I think it’s time to enter the Dark World.”
“Captain, we trust your judgment.”
Lane handed the roasted meat to his teammates and smiled at Chen Lun.
“Right, eat something and take a rest, and then we’ll officially head to the Dark World,” Chen Lun nodded.
After the team members had rested and were ready, each took out a bottle of “True Sight Potion” and drank it, their Insight sharply increasing for a very short time. They looked up and saw straight white lines emerging from the darkness ahead—
That was the entrance to the Dark World in the depths of the Spirit World!
At that moment, a figure was already stepping forward into the entrance ahead of them.
Lane and the others hurried to follow.
At the same time, Lane suddenly realized something, quickly looked at his teammates, and said in a low voice:
“Just like last time! Captain Jack… it seems like he didn’t drink the ‘True Sight Potion’ again!”
Welles and Madison, along with the other four, showed looks of astonishment.
Entering the third level of the Spirit World, Captain Jack did not need to drink the “True Sight Potion,” and now even for the Dark World, was he able to see through it with just his own Insight?!
“No wonder he is the one who could defeat the Incarnation of the Saint, our Captain, is truly no longer on the same level as us Transcendents,” Federica expressed her deep respect from beneath the black veil.
Madison and the other two exchanged glances, tacitly remaining silent, only the self-mockery in their eyes let them understand, the previous hostility towards Jack was nothing more than childish theatrics.
The other party didn’t even bother to acknowledge them…
