In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng and the Lancehead Viper had disappeared from the Tiankeng.
Little Silkworm, confused, circled around the black ring on the ground, sniffing erratically. It couldn't understand why it could clearly sense the presence of its master's bloodline nearby, yet could not see him anywhere.
Even Little Silkworm had tried to crawl into the ring, but when it bumped against it, it was kept out.
What was this place?
Meanwhile, Ye Feng, taken into the ring by the Lancehead Viper, found himself in a vast, empty, and gray expanse.
Rustling...
Upon entering the ring, the Lancehead Viper headed forward without a second thought, and only then did Ye Feng finally get a clear look at its full size.
The part of its body hidden within the ring was more than twice as long as the part outside, nearly ten yards in length.
