Shang and the Sweeper traveled toward the southeast for another hour.
Eventually, the two of them slowed down and stopped.
"You stay here. I will scout around for a bit," the Sweeper said.
Shang only nodded.
The Sweeper vanished, and Shang simply waited.
Shang had no idea what defenses were in front of them, but they probably weren't weak.
About ten minutes later, the Sweeper returned.
"I found a good spot where we can pass. The person guarding that spot has an Earth Affinity, and he doesn't seem very attentive," the Sweeper said.
Shang only nodded again.
The two flew towards the south for a couple of minutes and stopped again.
By now, Shang could tell that the surroundings were different again, and they were different in a sense that reminded him of Area 23.
The Earth and Darkness Mana of the Eternal Maw were reaching this place.
