Volume 1 Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Who Wears a Mask in a Serious Situation?

Sinking, sinking, sinking.

Because this is a "relatively stable" half-plane channel, its spatial structure is much more complex.

Although talking about distance between planes doesn’t make sense, the more complex the space structure, the longer it takes to pass through…

The time spent is relatively longer.

The magic environment is gradually changing, slowly becoming ancient and thick.

Lolth floated in the gap of this plane, allowing herself to drift to the other end of the plane channel, while her magic extended around her to explore.

Slowly, beyond the familiar dizziness of the passage, she smelled the scent of "dryness" and "intensity."

It was not a true feeling, but a "concept" and "characteristic" made of magic!

And then…

"Swish!"

Although she was "sinking," her body suddenly felt as if it were floating above the surface of the water!

Sounds and sights rushed back into her ears and eyes.

The endless gray sky, the gravel swirling in the air, and the earth that looked like a vast, gray-yellow desert, were filled with rolling stones and rough sand, with occasional sight of dried trees and similarly gray shrubs.

The howling wind, the scratching of sand, and the faint sound of bells carried by the wind, added a touch of eeriness to the desolate scene.

Lolth appeared in midair, after descending a few meters on the wind and sand, she stood steadily on the ground, turning to look at the huge, dark plane channel floating in the air, realizing she had arrived.

"Is this the ruins here?"

Looking around, beneath the gravel and stones on the ground, lay the winding old stone road, stretching on and on ahead.

Further away, there were broken gray stone tablets standing, with wedge-shaped wooden stakes holding up skeletons…

In the far distance, it seemed like there was a tall city.

Lolth tried to release her magic, but found that her magical sensing was limited to a five-meter radius around her.

This seemed to be the rule of this "half-plane."

Although using the magic of the Holy Domain could forcefully break the rules…

Those who explore the half-plane know one common fact.

Do not use too much magic!

Otherwise, it is very likely to attract "attention."

Even a masterless half-plane is the same.

As for the "Ruins of Sand," belonging to the Ailuo civilization’s half-plane, the previous Autonomous Guard had already come here, confirming one thing…

That is, the security system of this ruin is very well preserved.

So Lolth wisely kept her magical sensing filled within a five-meter range around her.

But a five-meter sensing also has a five-meter effect.

For example, just when Lolth was about to take a step away from here…

The spatial passage behind her suddenly rippled.

Lolth turned around and looked at what was coming out from inside…

It is Master Krado.

Indeed, this nobleman is the fastest.

"I’m here!"

Krado fell from the sky, landing more gracefully than Lolth, and touched his face.

He pulled up a layer of his "head" by his hair!

This guy was actually wearing a layer of headgear all along!

Lolth didn’t even notice this at all—only when the headgear was taken off did the magical energy waves reveal that this was more than just a personal mask.

It was a high-quality magic device!

However, halfway through pulling off his headgear, Krado suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned his head to look in Lolth’s direction and noticed Lolth’s presence.

Lolth was also stunned, looking at Krado.

The nobleman quietly put his mask back on his face.

"You’re here too, haha."

Krado gave an awkward smile and said.

"Yes, haha."

Lolth looked at Krado and gave an awkward smile back.

She secretly thought to herself that she was glad she had stayed alert before entering the half-plane and saw those guys enter the cave as well.

Otherwise, if she had entered the half-plane, she might have also removed her disguise like Krado and let her tail and sharp horns breathe.

However, it was still surprising to Lolth that her teammates jumped in so decisively.

"It’s me, I accidentally got chased here by a monster."

Lolth looked at Krado, thought for a moment, and explained.

Upon hearing Lolth’s words, Krado showed a look of realization.

"Ah—right, I’m in the same boat. Those monsters are really brutal, haha!"

As Krado said this, he pretended to scratch his neck, but in reality, he was adjusting the position of his headpiece.

Then, he looked around the Ruins of Sand’s half-plane and continued to make conversation.

"The weather in this half-plane is really hot; it almost made my face melt!"

Lolth listened to this excuse and fell into a brief silence.

Then, she nodded solemnly.

"Yes, it’s really too hot!"

She decided not to embarrass Krado after all.

After all, Krado didn’t mind much about her "inborn strength" in the main plane before.

The two of them stood there, thinking about what to say next.

Suddenly…

A jumble of chaotic waves came from the space passage.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Swish!"

Hood rode in on a giant pangolin with Florence, Ling holding her favorite weapon close, and Raven carrying Julie.

The five of them, along with a magical creature, appeared in the half-plane ruins like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

Krado and Lolth looked at them, falling into a long silence.

And those people quickly noticed each other.

After getting up from the ground, everyone clearly wasn’t prepared to see their teammates here.

For a moment, they could only show awkward but polite smiles.

"Everyone… is here."

"Yes, what a coincidence…"

"Oh no, it’s so chaotic outside; I accidentally came in here…"

"Yes, that Autonomous Guard is really scary."

Everyone spoke so hypocritically, but Hood showed great happiness, with a genuine smile on his face.

"That’s great! Since everyone is here—"

"Doesn’t that mean we can continue to act together!"

"I never dreamed we would actually come in here, and it seems like we were the first to enter!"

"Let’s go and explore the wilderness!"

Hood said optimistically, looking towards the place where the "main part" of the Ruins of Sand was.

Everyone then fell into silence.

Clearly, this group of people, each with their own hidden motives, did not want to continue teaming up after entering the half-plane ruins.

But it was obvious that no one wanted to reveal themselves right now.

After all… they still needed to find a way out of this ruin soon!

So, everyone could only look at Hood, smiling while gritting their teeth and saying.

"Alright, let’s move together then!"
