Zhang Ling stroked his chin, then suddenly raised his hand and released about a hundred earth spirit bees, sending them towards the illusion. The illusion in the sky was so strange that he wanted to investigate whether it was real or illusory.
However, for safety's sake, he didn't approach directly, but instead used his divine sense to control the bee swarm as they approached.
After a moment, the bee swarm neared the illusion in the sky. Suddenly, Zhang Ling's expression darkened as he sensed that thirty to forty of the earth spirit bees had instantly vanished. The missing bees disappeared without the slightest warning, as if they had never existed.
Although his divine sense hadn't observed how the earth spirit bees had disappeared, his eyes had seen it. A black light mark several dozen feet long had suddenly appeared next to some of the earth spirit bees that had been flying in the lead.
This light appeared out of nowhere without any warning, and then disappeared in a flash, without a trace. The missing earth spirit bees had been swallowed by this light mark.
Previously, he had guessed that these light marks were spatial rifts. Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling was even more certain of his guess.
Moreover, the black light marks that appeared in the sky seemed to have no pattern at all, some disappearing suddenly, others appearing suddenly. They might be the kind of moving spatial rifts.
Fortunately, he hadn't rashly approached earlier.
Now it seemed that whether the anomaly in the sky was real or an illusion, he couldn't get close.
Zhang Ling sighed and controlled the remaining earth spirit bees to return.
But then he saw that the remaining spirit bees had only descended a few dozen feet when another arc of black light flashed, and another large portion of the spirit bees disappeared, leaving only twenty or so to return safely.
This scene made Zhang Ling's face turn a little pale.
A few buzzing sounds suddenly rang in his ears. Zhang Ling glanced around and noticed that there were still a few earth spirit bees falling from above into the water.
Zhang Ling waved his hand and grabbed these earth spirit bees in his hand. There were a total of seven or eight earth spirit bees, but all of them were missing a part, as if they had been cut by a sharp weapon. They probably wouldn't live long.
In the blink of an eye, these earth spirit bees lost their vitality and died. Looking at the smooth cuts on the spirit bees, Zhang Ling looked up again at the anomaly in the sky.
These moving spatial rifts not only could swallow anything that approached, appearing and disappearing suddenly, and possessing a strong degree of concealment, but also could cut anything nearby into pieces each time they appeared and disappeared. This was the most terrifying thing.
A ball of fire rose from his hand, burning the dead spirit bees into ashes. Zhang Ling clapped his hands, no longer delayed, and directly dived into the sea.
...
In a clear sky, the clouds churned for a while, and suddenly a five-colored spiritual light appeared. This spiritual light was only a few dozen feet in size, and it burst with a 'poof', throwing out a figure.
This person hadn't woken up yet, and his body fell directly to the ground.
Zhang Ling shook his dizzy head a few times, feeling that his body was in a state of suspension. He quickly pinched a magic seal, and his body stopped falling, floating in mid-air. Looking at the surrounding environment, and sensing that the turbid air contained in the air had been reduced by more than half, it seemed that he had left the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm.
To confirm this, the Heavenly Abyss Token appeared in his hand. After a glance, Zhang Ling immediately revealed a look of joy and breathed a long sigh of relief.
His current location was more than a hundred miles away from the entrance where he had entered the Heavenly Abyss back then, proving that he had already left the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm.
A day ago, he had entered another seabed through the spatial rift at the bottom of the sea. That seabed was the area where the Azure Spirit Sea was located.
Finally, he had spent most of the day flying to the Nine Dragon Wall again. This time, he didn't encounter any danger and directly entered the Nine Dragon Wall, and came out through the lowest level teleportation array.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhang Ling identified the direction and flew away in a streak of light.
