Far from where they were standing, a creature rested its eyes on Austin.
As if he could sense it, Austin paused in his tracks and rested his eyes on the depths of the Dark Moon
Valley.
His gut was telling him that there was a formidable being watching him.
Since this was only Austin's avatar who only had the strength of a genuine premium-grade divine god,
he couldn't perceive everything in the valley.
"Violet, I think there's a powerful being in the Dark Moon Valley.
I hope he stays away.
Otherwise, I'll turn this valley into ruins,"
Austin announced.
"Master, have you found something?"
Violet whispered, leaning in closer to him.
Since she was just an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god, she couldn't sense things like he could.
"No. Nothing. Let's go inside," Austin replied.
He then made his way towards the depths of the Dark Moon Valley with Violet.
"What an arrogant brat!"
In the depths of the Dark Moon Valley, the powerful creature stomped his foot.
"Where does he find the nerve?
He won't be walking back out like that; that's for sure! He will die in here,"
the powerful being exclaimed.
Meanwhile,
Caroline and the three mermaids were being chased by a large number of ghosts in the Dark Moon
Valley.
Fortunately, they each had a chaotic magic treasure, and they were strong fighters.
The escape was rough and they just barely avoided serious injuries.
However, the worst part was that they couldn't find a way out.
The Dark Moon Valley was a dangerous place with complex terrain. It was easy to get in but difficult to
get out.
"If only Austin were here.
He is good at exploring dangerous places like this and he always manages to escape,"
Caroline said with a sigh.
"Caroline, if Austin knew that we were in trouble, do you think he would come save us?"
one of the mermaids asked.
"If Austin knew we were trapped here, he would definitely come to our rescue.
But the Sea of Chaos is so large. How would he know where to find us?
We need to be more practical. We are smart and resourceful. I believe that we can find the way out,"
Caroline said.
By this time, Austin and Violet had finally set foot in the inner parts of the Dark Moon Valley.
'I know this one! It's the Ghost Gathering Land. Such a land of danger is usually man-made to collect
the spiritual souls of intruders.
And someone here made this place on purpose...
They must be truly evil.'
After exploring the valley for a while, Austin determined what it was and why it was made.
After mastering the Earth Exploring Technique,
he knew almost all the lands of danger.
When Austin and Violet began walking once more,
harsh wind howled and spread over their faces, turning their cheeks rosy.
Their eyes widened when they saw an evil mist wafting towards them at an impressive speed.
Using their spiritual sense, they spotted many ghosts in it. Moans and groans left their mouths and
filled the air around them.
"These little tricks won't fool me,"
Austin said with a broken smile.
With immense concentration,
he summoned thick earth dragons that flew around Austin,
keeping him safe.
Austin carried with him the continent that he had made.
It was equivalent to a continent in the chaotic ancient kingdom.
Austin had put tens of millions of earth dragons in the continent and
many high-grade earth dragons had been born on it.
As a result, the number of earth dragons was increasing by the day.
Austin could summon a large number of them at any time.
"Go!"
Austin made a gesture and pointed at the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thick earth dragons burrowed into the ground and disappeared one after the other.
As more and more earth dragons entered the earth,
big changes began taking place in its topography.
"The Ghost Gathering Land is intimidating.
However, it can't trap me."
A confident smile appeared on Austin's face.
In the whole Sea of Chaos, Santos was the only one better than Austin in Earth Exploring Technique.
This made Austin smile wider. He was becoming more powerful every day.
Austin made gestures with his hands and pointed at the space in front of him.
"Come on!" he shouted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Eighteen mountains which emitted golden light rose from the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mountains slowly pushed forward over the ground. They stood as tall as giants and dispersed the
evil mist ahead of them.
Austin and Violet trailed behind them.
"Wait! Where did he learn this from?"
An angry voice came from the depths of the Dark Moon Valley.
"Never mind. It's not important. After all, it's impossible for a young man like him to make it out of the
valley alive.
This is just the beginning,"
the voice continued.
However, it seemed Austin had it easy.
The eighteen mountains cleared the path for him and Violet to proceed.
Out of the blue,
the earth began to shake violently.
Black, evil mist erupted from the ground and huge, black walls rose all around them, densely packed.
A few seconds later, a huge maze had taken shape.
Each of the black walls was as tall as a mountain.
Austin and Violet were stuck and they assumed that there was no way out.
"Well, it looks like even a divine god couldn't make it out of such a high-level Maze of Ghost.
This Ghost Gathering Land must have existed for a long time,"
Austin said in surprise.
"Master, look. There are so many zombies!"
Violet suddenly screamed.
From behind every wall they could see that ferocious-looking zombies constantly rushed out.
They moved quickly, showing off their green, sharp fingernails and emitting a strong corpse miasma.
Violet drew a sword and prepared to fight.
"Violet, put it aside. Just stay close to me.
They aren't worthy of a fight,"
Austin said with a calm smile.
Then he stomped his foot against the ground.
Boom!
The ground around them began shaking. It trembled until huge cracks appeared.
Tall, strong mud men then crawled out of the cracks and fought with the zombies.
These mud men were made of soil and stones, and they were powered by the Earth Energy. After they
were destroyed, they would reappear. Each of them could put up a good fight.
"Master, it's so funny!
You turned mud into soldiers!"
Violet clapped her hands and laughed cheerfully.
