Chapter 915: Chapter 459: Return to Stone Gate City

Although Long Dangdang and the team had discovered four wraith altars within a day, their exploration was centered around Stone Gate City. Moving forward, if they wanted to discover more wraith altars, they would either have to venture further away, which would significantly reduce their efficiency, or switch to another Big Wraith City as their core for exploration, such as Calamity City, the capital of the Wraith Empire. However, this would also increase the risk. How to choose was an important issue.

Long Dangdang opted for both approaches. They continued to explore the area surrounding Stone Gate City, heading towards more distant places, and then tried to find some patterns through the distribution of these wraith altars. If there were patterns to follow, then locating more wraith altars would become much easier.

But over the next two days, despite their continuous search, they only found three more wraith altars, with their efficiency greatly diminished. What made them most helpless was that there was no discernible pattern to the distribution of the wraith altars. It seemed as if they were randomly placed.

Then Long Dangdang decided to shift focus, continuing their exploration with Calamity City as the new center.

This undoubtedly required more caution, as the possibility of encountering powerful wraith scouts also increased.

As it turned out, their luck was still good, or perhaps it was because many of the Wraith Empire’s powerful experts were tied up on the front lines. In the nearly one week of exploration that followed, they managed to remain well-hidden and undetected. Long Dangdang even retrieved their Earth escape shuttle.

After more than ten days of effort, with Stone Gate City and Calamity City as their core, the spatial coordinates laid out by Long Dangdang and the team were as intricate as a game of chess. As they delved deeper into their exploration, they gradually began to uncover some patterns.

The distribution of wraith altars appeared random, but they were broadly scattered. The irregular distribution was related to the terrain and the distance and direction from the human world.

After eight days of exploration, they discovered a total of sixteen wraith altars, all of which were located outside the cities. Among these, the wraith altars near Calamity City were relatively large, with the smallest being about the same size as the first altar they discovered after coming to Stone Gate City. The largest was at least five times bigger; even from a distance, Long Dangdang and the team could feel an overwhelming pressure emanating from it. They could only imagine the terrifyingly powerful beings defending it. They didn’t come too close and quickly left after marking the coordinates, knowing that it was definitely beyond their current capability to destroy.

While exploring, Long Dangdang continuously reported their findings to the frontline through the Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal. This included the exact locations of the wraith altars, their size, and some of their own judgments, all relayed to the frontline command center.

Returning to the vicinity of Stone Gate City, the six members of Long Dangdang’s team rested for a night, essentially returning their mental state to its peak.

"Tomorrow we enter Stone Gate City, to see if we can gather more information and also look for Soul Stones," said Long Dangdang. The Soul Stones they had obtained last time had almost all been absorbed by Little Evil, and with the high-grade Soul Stones pilfered from a warehouse, Little Evil’s spiritual power had now reached a level equivalent to a human professionist at the Peak 8th Rank, just a step away from the 9th Rank. When it came to cultivation speed, Little Evil was even surpassing Little Eight.

Long Dangdang was now a powerful expert at the 8th Rank, which meant that Little Evil could break through to the 9th Rank. Once it completed this breakthrough and became a true Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, the assistance it would offer to Long Dangdang would be even greater. Moreover, infiltrating Stone Gate City was also for the purpose of obtaining more intelligence, among which the number of wraith altars was of utmost importance.

Entering Stone Gate City, everyone had some anticipation; they were curious to see what a wraith city would be like. Although they had some knowledge from Long Dangdang, there was a Chinese saying, "Hearing is not as good as seeing," and who didn’t have curiosity?

At the break of dawn, as the sky was just beginning to light up, Long Dangdang led their companions to the outskirts of Stone Gate City. They all entered the Earth escape shuttle and burrowed into the ground.

There were already tunnels underground left by Long Dangdang from before, making their progress more convenient. Unbeknownst to gods and ghosts, they had already quietly entered Stone Gate City.

After storing the Earth escape shuttle, the Slow Delay Domain was activated and Little Evil’s aura concealed. If a wraith entity were to walk in front of them, all they would see were a few undead walking together. Little Evil’s powerful spiritual force created a visual illusion, and unless it was a 9th Rank spiritual power level existence and they observed closely at a short distance, it would be almost impossible to see through their disguise. That is, they would also need to be proficient in the power of time and space to peer through the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace’s Slow Delay Domain.

The moment they stepped onto the streets, aside from Long Dangdang, the other five felt a bit nervous. After all, this was one of the top-ranked big cities of the Wraith Empire, and within this city, there were definitely beings they couldn’t contend with at their current level.

The number of undead on the streets seemed sparse. Even though there was no sunlight, the wraith creatures still habitually lay dormant during the day and became active at night, so the day would naturally seem somewhat deserted.
