Chapter 234: Seventh-Layer Blood Orb, Golden Eagle’s Request

Qin Xiao entered the seventh layer fully prepared. One look would be enough. If it had not been affected like the sixth, he would turn back at once and forget investigating. His life came first.

However, his preparations proved unnecessary. Just as he had suspected, the seventh layer was identical to the sixth: a blood-red sky and withered, dead trees.

The deeper one went into the Abyss Secret Realm, the smaller the terrain became. Down on the seventh layer, he could already see the stone walls marking the boundaries.
