#302 - Chapter 301 Mysterious City
"Is this the legendary Canyuan Continent?"
Above the sea, the Holy Spirit floated in the air, its aura incredibly peaceful. Jiang Han sat on its back, gazing into the distance.
At the end of his vision, beyond the seemingly endless Black Sea, he finally saw the edge.
It was a vast continent, shrouded in a faint black mist, revealing only a vague outline.
Overall, it looked quite eerie, inspiring a sense of inexplicable dread from afar.
However, Jiang Han didn't mind it, urging the Holy Spirit to swiftly fly toward the Canyuan Continent.
With the Holy Spirit's speed, they quickly arrived above the Canyuan Continent.
"How strange."
Only when he got closer did Jiang Han notice something unusual.
The black mist that shrouded the continent suddenly vanished.
The entire land didn't seem as sinister as he had imagined; it looked quite ordinary.
Jiang Han pondered for a moment, then retreated slightly.
To his surprise, that small distance of less than ten meters brought back the incredibly eerie sight he had seen before.
"A special barrier? Or some other trick?"
Jiang Han mused.
Unlike the Evil God's black mist, this mist didn't seem to be a tangible substance; it was more like an illusion meant to conceal something.
"Is it naturally occurring, or was it created through intervention?"
Jiang Han stared at the faint mist, carefully controlling the distance until he found the critical point where he could see it.
He reached out to touch it, but grasped only emptiness.
For some reason, this mist gave him an indescribable feeling.
"Strange."
After studying it for a while without figuring anything out, Jiang Han paid it some attention before entering the Canyuan Continent.
Perhaps because he was close to the edge of the land, the area was empty.
Apart from the pervasive sandstorms, there was nothing else to see.
As for humans, they were nowhere to be found.
Jiang Han retrieved the Divine Tree's guidance from his inventory.
[Deepest part of Canyuan, within a cage.]
A short sentence containing information about the Saint Slayer.
The meaning wasn't hard to understand: he needed to find a cage in the deepest part of the Canyuan Continent.
But the problem now was, where was the deepest part of the Canyuan Continent?
"Does it refer to underground? Or does 'deepest' not refer to distance?"
Jiang Han thought and continued forward.
Whatever, things will sort themselves out.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sandstorms howled as a white figure traversed the clouds.
He sped up again.
"Hmm?"
Finally, a large black dot appeared in his vision.
It seemed to be a massive city.
"Finally found a place where people live."
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow. He had to admit, the Canyuan Continent was a bit too deserted.
In other places, he would have passed several cities in the distance he had traveled. But this Canyuan Continent was different; he had to go through so much effort to see this lone seedling.
And it was so far away.
But fortunately, he finally had a clue.
He continued forward.
Soon, a towering city appeared before Jiang Han.
"It's so tall."
He was surprised by how exceptionally large this city was compared to others.
Even compared to the Dragon Phoenix Empire's capital, Yu, it seemed miniature.
The main reason for this impression was the incredibly massive, towering wall that surrounded the city.
This wall was like an impregnable fortress, giving a sense of insurmountable pressure. The material of the wall itself was also remarkable.
It seemed to be constructed from some extremely special black stone, which was not only exceptionally hard but also emitted a translucent luster. From a distance, it looked like a smooth, mirror-like black wall, reflecting the surrounding light.
It was as if this wall was not just a simple protective barrier but also a work of art, showcasing endless mystery and majesty.
Jiang Han looked down at the giant city from above and noticed a unique feature.
The city had no gates, no roads, and he didn't even see a teleportation array.
As for the scenery within the city, it was even more mysterious, completely obscured by the black mist he had seen earlier.
Jiang Han tried to enter directly from above, but he was blocked by an invisible barrier.
In short, this black city was like a box with no entrance.
"Should I force my way in?"
Jiang Han stared at the city walls and began to think.
He had the Berserker's Horn of the Destroyer, which could break even the chains that locked up the Undying Divine Phoenix. He didn't believe this city wall could be that strong.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Han gave up on the idea.
Since he was unfamiliar with the place, it was better to be cautious.
Moreover, there must be a reason for building such a city here, it couldn't be just for fun, it's just that the entrance hasn't been found.
The reason why it is special must be because of something.
"Ask someone."
Jiang Han glanced down and quickly locked onto a figure heading toward the city.
"Excuse me, friend, please stop."
Riding the Holy Spirit, Jiang Han arrived in front of the figure wearing a black hood and cloak, whose appearance was completely obscured, mysterious as an assassin, and spoke politely.
"Who the hell are you? Don't block my way!"
"Get out of here!"
The person didn't even bother to look at him, cursed, and walked away, then his figure suddenly disappeared.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow and noticed something unusual.
He could tell that the reason the person disappeared was definitely because they had teleported.
But the problem was...
There wasn't the slightest fluctuation of magic nearby!
This was very intriguing.
After all, anyone with a little common sense knew that the operation of teleportation arrays, and even all teleportation methods, couldn't be done without the help of magic.
Magic was the foundation.
But this scene completely defied common sense.
Or rather, the magic was hidden in a very deep place, making it impossible to detect.
But this was still mysterious enough.
"Ask someone else."
Jiang Han became interested for a moment.
At the same time, he also noticed that none of these NPCs in a hurry noticed him.
Of course, this wasn't Jiang Han being narcissistic, but after doing so many things that affected the strange occurrences, his current popularity was terrifying.
Even after crossing borders and arriving in the Sun Radiance Empire, an NPC on the roadside could even guess his identity.
But the NPCs here didn't recognize him at all.
It was as if this Canyuan Continent was completely isolated from the outside world, receiving no information whatsoever.
Apart from this, Jiang Han couldn't find a second reason.
