Chapter 3768 Outside

Libby's question made Zen and the three Ear Mice realize this was a problem that needed to be addressed.

The bone caves in the Sanskrit Light Stage formed the most complicated maze any of them had ever come across. Up until now, there was still no one who had completely worked out the entire maze.

"Deviating too far from our original route would be disastrous, I'm afraid," Fidel said seriously.

Zen considered their options for a while before finally saying, "Those Ghost-claw Worms always leave traces, and we can go back the same way we came by following those traces they've left."

After that, he turned and began walking back.

Zen had sliced the Ghost-claw Worms' heads off at the neck and they still struggled on the ground. Even now they still stretched out three fingers in an attempt to grab Zen as he passed.

"Whoosh!"

The long sword in Zen's hand shook, and with a flash of sword radiance, he had cut the wriggling heads in halves.

Zen and the Ear Mice felt more comfortable with their plan after seeing these Ghost-claw Worms. Zen had killed many along the way so it'd be an easy trail to follow back...

They followed the corpses, walking the wrong way on several occasions before they had finally found the original path they had taken here.

The Ear Mice had come from a different bone cave and recorded a different path. Now they too, like Zen, were counting on Libby to lead the way.

Fortunately, although it was Libby's first time in the Sanskrit Light Stage, she was very smart and remembered the way to the Land of Bone Tribulation clearly.

"There are eight bone caves in the bone cavity. We should take the seventh one..."

"There are two roads here. We should take the left one..."

"The first bone cave..."

Under her guidance, they continued onward, slightly uphill.

Just as Fidel had said, they were in fact still in the sea formed by the Soul Interdicting Water. If they broke through a wall of a bone cave, the Soul Interdicting Water would gush in.

But many bones were in the water, looking like countless tubes.

The route the Ear Mice had taken had been submerged by the Soul Interdicting Water, but everything was fine for the one the human race had recorded in their documents, and they continued smoothly along the way.

The s

Fidel is right, the Soul Interdicting Water has begun flooding and who knows what followed the water in," Zen pointed out shaking his head as he spoke.

The Ghost-claw Worms alone were tough to deal with, not to mention there could be more than one kind of creature in the Soul Interdicting Water.

Libby considered this a while and decided Zen made a lot of sense and so she agreed.

Zen then jumped up straight to the first bone cave on the left and climbed up along the wall.

It was over ten thousand feet long and very wide. He could still hear the echo of his footsteps when he walked. When he was halfway up, a black fog appeared around the cave.

This gave him pause and he hesitated.

But then, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, who had been observing Zen this whole time, reminded him, "Don't worry. This black fog is only to scare off souls and can't harm a physical body."

Holy Souls were forbidden to step on this road, naturally there were some measures to stop them.

These words of comfort swept Zen's worries away and he continued climbing up.

He was almost at the top when a ray of light shone in front of him, lighting the dim cave.

"Does this bone cave lead outside?"

Zen's eyes glinted and he quickened his pace.

When he finally reached the top, he saw what it was like outside the bone cave...

He saw a boundless blue sea and slender bones in the water upside down, sticking out like bamboo growing in the sea. This was the forbidden area outside the bone caves that Libby had mentioned!
