507: The scene at the end

Is the eternal tree moving?

This thought flashed through Chen Du's mind.

Huang Cheng didn't provide much information about the eternal tree, and to be honest, Chen Du didn't know if the eternal tree was a special, mobile resource like devouring grass.

But judging from the distance between here and Liáo Yuán Continent, it wasn't impossible.

However, there was another possibility: another alien race had gotten there first!

Since the Hunter Civilization could obtain this intelligence, other Great Civilizations could also obtain it.

This alien race had acquired the eternal tree in advance and brought it all the way to the Land of Wither.

Should he go in?

This thought instantly flashed through Chen Du's mind.

But very quickly, Chen Du made up his mind.

"Continue forward!"

Chen Du commanded.

If he assumed based on the Hunter Civilization's configuration, even if another Great Civilization discovered this information, at most they would send Advanced Aerial Warriors to investigate and collect evidence.

It was impossible for Domain Warriors to investigate.

From this, it could be inferred that this alien race, suspected of acquiring the eternal tree, was at most of the Advanced Aerial Warrior Level; as for their specific level, he could only take a gamble.

Probabilistically, Chen Du believed that even if he couldn't win, he should be able to escape.

Ru Yan originally wanted to persuade him a bit more, but after thinking carefully, if she said she knew nothing about the information inside Withered Mountain, wouldn't she be completely worthless?

Chen Du could predict the location of the withered mist in advance to avoid the insects, while she was the one who needed Chen Du.

Thinking of this, Ru Yan wisely chose to remain silent.

Withered Mountain was unbelievably large; a single mountain was as vast as an entire mountain range on the Surface, and he wondered how such a thing could float in the sky.

On Withered Mountain, the dense, honeycomb-like cave entrances varied in size; the smaller ones were just big enough for someone of Chen Du's build to enter, while the larger ones would still have plenty of space even if the Giant Civilization stood in rows.

But Chen Du was different; because of the Locking Spear, he now had a map in his mind.

This map showed the target's location, and as the distance closed, the map would automatically zoom in like a navigation system.

At first, the two were very far apart, and to be honest, it was impossible to tell if the eternal tree had moved then.

But now it was different.

Now that they had arrived at Withered Mountain, the map instinctively zoomed in a step further, allowing Chen Du to clearly see the specific path ahead.

These paths included routes inside Withered Mountain.

However, he couldn't see the full panorama of Withered Mountain's interior, only one route, the closest to the target.

So, he just needed to direct Ru Yan to follow this path.

Now, since something had happened with the eternal tree, Chen Du abandoned his initial idea and no longer planned to kill Ru Yan when approaching the eternal tree.

Through the matter of the withered mist, Chen Du judged that the information she knew might be useful here.

"You should know something about the information inside Withered Mountain, right?"

Chen Du stared intently at the route map in his mind and asked casually.

"Absolutely!"

Ru Yan said firmly without hesitation.

Then, with a whoosh!, the two entered the interior of Withered Mountain.

As they delved deeper, the pitch-black darkness around them made Chen Du feel as if he had returned to 100,000 meters Underground.

Fortunately, this darkness was no issue for either Chen Du or Ru Yan.

Mental Energy was like their second pair of eyes, allowing them to see clearly in the impenetrable darkness.

Mental Energy couldn't penetrate walls?

Chen Du discovered the peculiarity of this place as soon as he entered.

This meant he could only see unobstructed obstacles.

As he continued to go deeper, Chen Du also noticed that the traces of these passages were actually drilled from the inside out.

Was the path he chose particularly special, or were all passages like this?

"The surrounding traces were made from inside Withered Mountain outwards."

"Are all the passages here like this?"

Chen Du asked.

"I don't know that."

"I only heard that Withered Mountain was not in the sky at first, but at the bottom of the sea."

"Later, something unknown happened, and it ascended all the way to 100,000 meters in the sky."

"And these passages existed from the very beginning."

"Most of the fiery clouds outside accumulated when it first came to the sky, like a new store opening, with a group of alien races coming to check in."

"Among them were people from our Yun Que Civilization, but most of those who went at that time died; the information I obtained was passed down by those who survived."

"To be honest, today is my first time here."

"It's a pity we didn't get any benefits in the end; as it stands now, this place is purely a dangerous zone."

The bottom of the sea?

Chen Du hadn't expected this behemoth to come from the bottom of the sea.

To be honest, compared to the sky, the seabed was the true forbidden zone; to this day, no one knew what terrifying things were hidden beneath it.

However, the alien races of the seabed also seemed to have no interest in the land; for so many years, there had never been any rumors of deep-sea monsters coming up.

The route Chen Du took was quite spacious; even a row of Giant Civilization members entering wouldn't feel crowded.

And the scenery inside was somewhat beyond Chen Du's expectations; the interior of this mountain was like a Small World, surprisingly containing deserts, forests, swamps, and so on.

Aside from the absence of life, many natural landscapes could be seen here, though all were in a state of dead silence.

"Have you been here before?"

Ru Yan listened to Chen Du's precise instructions at every step and asked in confusion.

How could this alien race from a Small Civilization, who didn't even know about the withered mist outside, know the route inside Withered Mountain?

One must know that the withered mist surrounded the entire Withered Mountain; it would be encountered from any direction, and there was no shortcut.

"When I'm not asking you, stay silent."

Chen Du said coldly; he was already close to the target, and he couldn't predict what the destination would look like.

At this moment, Chen Du was fully focused on preparing for various unexpected situations that might occur upon reaching the target location.

"Yes!"

Ru Yan stopped talking nonsense.

She guessed in her heart that Chen Du must possess a treasure map of Withered Mountain; otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a precise route.

At the same time, she was also curious, what other treasures were inside?

When it was at the bottom of the sea, it was probably already emptied by those seabed alien races.

What surprised the two of them was that after flying for so long inside, they hadn't encountered any danger.

Ru Yan, with quick wit, also explained at this moment:

"Not all routes are dangerous; it seems we are lucky to have taken a path without danger!"

Chen Du nodded, not saying much.

In his heart, the greatest danger lay at the end!

This peaceful journey might indeed be a safe path, as Ru Yan said.

But it was also possible that the alien race who obtained the eternal tree had flattened all the dangers along the way!

If it was the latter, then his combat power should be very strong.

But Chen Du couldn't retreat; the Locking Spear's time limit was only one month, and if he missed this opportunity, he might never encounter the eternal tree in his lifetime.

For a Small Civilization, such top-tier resources were perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Chen Du couldn't give up because of his own conjectures.

"For the rest of the way, just go straight."

After the last fork in the road, Chen Du spoke.

At this moment, Chen Du's gaze was fixed straight ahead.

He wanted to see what kind of resource this eternal tree was, and if such an alien race truly existed.

Getting closer!

Chen Du murmured to himself, and the two rushed out of the passage together, arriving in a desert.

At this moment, Chen Du's position coincided with the coordinates in his mind, but the scene before him made him frown:

"How is this possible?"

"There's nothing here?"
