Below, the Black Wind Swamp.
Kennedy suppressed the urge to turn back. She pushed her speed to the limit, plunging into the treacherous swamp shrouded in gray-black poisonous miasma year-round. The moment she entered, her vision and spiritual perception were severely restricted. The air reeked of decay and lethal toxins, while the ground beneath her feet was soft, sucking, and dangerous. From time to time, eerie black shadows flickered across the murky water’s surface.
She didn’t dare slow down. Following the vague directions she remembered, she flew deeper into the swamp, heading toward the core region where the magnetic disturbances were said to be most chaotic. Qyla stayed close, agilely avoiding puddles and hidden hazards.
Behind her, violent spiritual energy fluctuations continued to ripple through the sky, accompanied by Chenzy’s undisguised, ferocious killing intent. She could also sense Aunt Winnie and the others weakening rapidly. Her heart twisted painfully, but she could only turn grief and rage into fuel, forcing herself forward.
After an unknown amount of time, the roaring sounds behind her seemed to weaken slightly, yet the sense of being locked onto remained. Chenzy clearly possessed a tracking technique—he could still roughly grasp her direction even in this heavily disrupted environment.
Suddenly, a strange region appeared ahead. The mist here was dark red, and chaotic magnetic forces churned through the air, slowing the flow of Kennedy’s spiritual energy and compressing her divine sense to only a few feet. Scattered across the ground were bizarre, magnetized black rocks of irregular shapes.
“This is it—the edge of the Crimson Magnetic Abyss,” Kennedy felt a bit of relief. The environment here was extreme enough to further interfere with tracking. She found a relatively dry mound partially encircled by massive magnetized rocks and landed there. Quickly, she set up a small concealment formation and gripped the jade pendant Dustin had given her. The pendant was made of special material and seemed to stabilize the mind and resist external interference.
