Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2672: 1469: Exploration and Encounter

Ahead in the expanse, where crystal formations of all sorts dotted the area, a modest wooden hut suddenly came into view. Encircling it was a fertile plot of land, brimming with lush greenery and ripe fruits that pulsed with life.

Upon witnessing this sight, Leo Ray felt sheer disbelief, his mouth nearly hanging open in shock. After all, this was inside a spatial tear in the Witch Demon Main City. The exterior was nothing but a barren, desolate waste—how could something so bizarre emerge here?

Furthermore, the terrain in this spot, much like the crystalline spatial walls, seemed utterly unfit for any vegetation to thrive.

Yet, with the void behind him crumbling at a frantic pace and no alternative routes in sight, Leo Ray pushed aside his bewilderment and dashed onward toward the hut.

Moments later, he reached the vicinity of the wooden hut.

The instant he crossed into the hut's domain, Leo Ray noticed something startling.

The chaotic collapse of space at his back halted abruptly, and the fierce pulling force vanished in a flash, leaving his frame feeling remarkably unburdened, as though he'd cast off a pair of massive boulders from his back.

In wonder, Leo Ray glanced over his shoulder to spot a shimmering magical shield enveloping the whole zone around the hut.

Outside that shield, the path he'd just hurried along had vanished entirely, reduced to absolute nothingness.

This tiny patch housing the hut floated like a lone isle amid infinite emptiness, hemmed in by profound shadows that stirred a deep, eerie reverence.

“At least, we've dodged the danger for the time being.”

Leo Ray brushed the perspiration from his brow and started scanning his environment.

Were this not a spatial tear, the view might pass for a typical rural dwelling, unremarkable in every way.

But within a spatial tear riddled with crystalline shapes, it stood out as profoundly odd and out of place.

Above all, what gripped his attention was the magical shield that had halted the spatial breakdown.

“My Lord, this is essentially another form of spatial shield.”

Via their mind link, Xiao Jing reappeared, her starlit eyes widening as she studied the shield briefly before gasping in astonishment, “To halt the collapse of space like this—the one who cast it is no common figure.”

“The caster, you say? Clearly, it's the master of this domain.”

Leo Ray gave a subtle nod, his eyes locking onto the plain wooden hut at last, while his fingers instinctively clenched around his longsword's hilt.

Xiao Jing had hit the mark; the resident here possessed extraordinary power, perhaps even serving as the secret force stirring chaos in the colossal city.

With that in mind, Leo Ray turned to Xiao Jing and inquired, “Can we head back to the normal world right now?”

“My Lord, while this spatial shield blocked the collapse, it also seals us inside.”

Xiao Jing shook her head in resignation, her brows knitting together as she answered.

“That's fine; maybe there's another exit around here.”

Next, Leo Ray called forth Little Jie, then signaled to the pair of Stone Spirits, “Our generals remain trapped out there, clueless. We need to move fast.”

Saying so, Leo Ray forged ahead, making a beeline for the central wooden hut.

As they pressed on, a blend of frustration and haste etched across Leo Ray's features.

One had to admit, discovering this mysterious zone in a spatial tear felt like a true escapade.

However, their powerful team had been scattered by the spatial chaos, now encircled by lethal voids. This was a dire, do-or-die juncture.

And being confined here, both timing and chances made it far from ideal for leisurely delving into such mysteries.

While these notions swirled through Leo Ray's head, he reached the hut's doorway.

From without, the hut's windows were sealed with planks, blocking any glimpse of the interior.

“My Lord, no signs of magical snares in this spot.”

After a quick check, Little Jie and Xiao Jing reported to Leo Ray together.

“We'll enter and check it out.”

Steadying his nerves, Leo Ray gave the door a cautious push.

A soft groan sounded as the wooden panel swung inward.

At the revelation within, Leo Ray and the two Stone Spirits found their eyes bulging in surprise.

Instead of the compact hut visible from outside, a vast castle chamber unfolded before them. The furnishings weren't opulent but elegantly arranged. Even the stairs ascending to the upper level towered beyond the hut's full stature, let alone the levels beyond that.

“My Lord, spatial layering has warped this space too, creating a vista that defies the outer dimensions, much like the barren lands beyond.”

Xiao Jing crossed her slender blade over her torso, surveying as she explained.

“Does this mean it was crafted by the witch demon's secret agent?”

Little Jie clutched her magic staff tighter, alertness sharpening her stance.

“Doesn't look that way. No bones or similar remnants, no aura of death or dark mists.”

Leo Ray mulled it over briefly, then nodded with insight and stated, “Still, we shouldn't dismiss the chance it's an enemy ploy. Stay on guard.”

With that, Leo Ray advanced once more, venturing deeper into the chamber.
