Virus King - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Entering the Northern Nation! The Location of the Underworld!

TL: YYang

Chen Bai was undoubtedly quite familiar with Chang Liu. Seeing this guy again wasn’t the first time.

After all, in Mount Shu’s Demon-Sealing Pagoda, they had already crossed paths several times.

However, this guy’s level had now reached level 22, standing as a top-tier figure among the first echelon, a veritable powerhouse.

His arrival did not keep Chen Bai waiting long; in less than a day, he had reached Fengtian City.

It made sense, though. The region he was from wasn’t far from Fengtian City, and having visited Fengtian before, he was already familiar with the area.

The three didn’t waste much time.

Once they met up, they immediately departed from Fengtian City, heading toward the Goguryeo Peninsula!

“Has Lord Bai ever been to our northeast?!” Chang Liu asked, his tone excited. “To be honest, I’ve always wanted to explore Changbai Mountain. I reckon there are quite a few secret realm dungeons hidden within these famous mountains and great rivers. But I never had the time. Plus, the location I’ve chosen to build my city is a bit far from here!”

The three didn’t employ any special methods. Back at Jiangcheng Zoo, Chen Bai had taken out three Mount Tokens. Using their mounts, they headed straight for the Goguryeo Peninsula.

Clearly, to get there, they would either have to cross the Yalu River or pass through Changbai Mountain.

At this moment, the three of them were riding their Windchaser Horses, galloping across Changbai Mountain!

Looking at the vast mountain range, Chang Liu couldn’t help but marvel.

Chen Bai smiled slightly and said:
“If you have time, you should take a look. Who knows, you might discover some great opportunity in there!”

Chen Bai’s words were not without basis.

In his previous life, Chang Liu had been one of the people he was most familiar with.

Naturally, Chen Bai knew that Chang Liu’s Five Immortals City held a significant opportunity within Changbai Mountain!

While Chen Bai didn’t know much about the shamanic spirit-medium culture of the northeast, he had heard enough in his past life to understand a few things.

It was said that the spirit-medium deities who “went forth” cultivated their Dao using Changbai Mountain as their foundation—a celestial mountain.

Before the apocalypse, such stories may have been questionable, but after the apocalypse and the emergence of the God and Devil Trial Grounds, opportunities of this nature did indeed exist in Changbai Mountain.

Chen Bai was absolutely certain about this.

Under these circumstances, with Chang Liu possessing the S-Rank talent Willow Immortal Lineage, he naturally had a massive advantage.

Now, this guy was already thinking along these lines!? With this in mind, Chen Bai added:
“The terrain of Changbai Mountain is vast. There are bound to be numerous valuable opportunities there. If I were you, I’d consider relocating your future city-building plans closer to this area!”

Chen Bai wasn’t just saying this for the sake of it. In his previous life, Chang Liu had mentioned to him how the location of his Five Immortals City wasn’t ideal. The numerous valuable secret realm dungeons and the influx of opportunities in Changbai Mountain after World Fusion made it a highly promising region.

If anyone else had suggested this, Chang Liu might not have believed them. But coming from Chen Bai, who had consistently led ahead in the apocalypse, his words were worth serious consideration.

It made sense, too. Changbai Mountain was enormous—massive, even!

Spanning the entire northeast region, moving Five Immortals City slightly closer to Changbai Mountain wouldn’t be a significant issue. In the future, if the chance arose, exploring the area for opportunities would be more feasible.

Of course, this was a major decision and couldn’t be made lightly.

After pausing to think, Chang Liu nodded:
“Fair enough. Once I have the time, I’ll explore Changbai Mountain and see if there’s anything worth developing!”

Chen Bai didn’t say more. At most, he could offer Chang Liu a suggestion. As for anything beyond that, it wasn’t his concern.

With the mount tokens, their mounts moved at maximum speed, far faster than a regular car.

Though it made for a rough ride, it wasn’t much of a concern for the trio, whose constitutions had already surpassed normal limits.

In less than half a day, they crossed out of Dragon Nation’s borders and entered the Northern Nation!

Along the way, the trio occasionally encountered Evolvers fleeing the Northern Nation.

Over the past few months, the events in the Northern Nation were known worldwide: the rampant Malevolent Spirits and Undead presented a threat even more terrifying than zombies.

In just a few months, the population of Evolvers in the Northern Nation had dropped by 95%. According to the judgment of the Cosmic Will, the nation had lost its qualifications to continue existing as a national faction and had been directly eliminated.

Watching these people either join other factions or remain in their original land as unaffiliated Evolvers, Chen Bai felt no emotional fluctuation.

The God and Devil Trial Grounds were cruel—not only for individuals but for entire civilizations and nations as well.

If this stirred Chen Bai’s emotions, he’d never stop sighing at the destruction of civilizations and worlds collapsing across the cosmos.

Once the trio entered the Northern Nation, they quickened their pace.

Without any unnecessary conversation, they headed directly toward the Underworld.

The location of the Underworld was quite unique.

It was a fissure that had split open in the earth.

Seemingly formed during the apocalypse, the specifics were unknown.

The fissure was located in a city called Anzhou within the Northern Nation.

It was positioned roughly in the center of the region.

A massive crack had appeared out of thin air, like the eye of the Abyss.

The crack spanned over a dozen li in length.

At its widest point, it stretched nearly a kilometer.

Black mist coiled around the fissure.

No one would willingly approach such a place, but under special circumstances, people had no choice.

Beneath the fissure lay a future world-renowned large-scale dungeon: the Underworld.

As Chen Bai had expected, when the trio arrived at the site, a number of Evolvers were already present.
