The Sacred Sons and Maidens of the Ten Sacred Lands walked across the plains with their followers.
Henry and his two helpers followed behind them.
According to the high- level officials of the academy, they would enter the Restricted Zones of the Abyss after walking through the plains. Their goal was to find the existence of the Metaphysics bloodline.
They called it the plains, but it was just a description of the landforms they could see.
If one looked down from the skies, one would discover that it was actually an enormous valley, with tall mountain ranges lining both sides. The valley stretched all the way forward, and at the very end of it was the Abyss of the Restricted Zones.
They all moved extremely quickly even if they consisted of a hundred people.
At that moment, it was not a sign of teamwork of the academy, but a competition among the Ten Sacred Lands.
The Holy Sons and Maidens took the lead, Qi emanating from all over their bodies. The students of the various Sacred Lands also activated their Qi and followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, they had sped hundreds of meters forward.
Henry and his two helpers, with food supplies and pots on their backs, walked slowly behind them.
Henry could feel that the further he went forward, the more difficult it became, it was as if his whole body had gotten heavier.
"There is gravity here!" Henry immediately had the answer in his heart. Angell had once created the same kind of gravity room in the training room of Radiant Island. Henry had experienced that feeling before.
The two helpers were walking with extreme difficulty.
Just as the two helpers were about to be at their limits, the protective charms given by the Fourth Level Heavenly Way expert shone brightly, enveloping them in bright light. Under the cover of the light, they immediately regained their original mobility and were immune to the force of gravity.
The amulet on Henry also began to take effect at the same time.
Henry breathed a sigh of relief. If he had not been given that amulet, he would not have been able to find an excuse to continue moving forward due to that mere force of gravity.
That force of gravity was horrific, not only did it make people feel as if they were moving around with weights attached, but even their bones and internal organs would be affected by the force of gravity, their hearts would slow down and their body functions would also be slowed down, which were all very dangerous.
They were still more than ten kilometres away from the Abyss of the Restricted Zones. It was not considered too far or too near. Henry and the two had to walk for more than two hours to walk ten kilometres. When they reached the entrance of the Abyss of the Restricted Zones, they saw the people from the Ten Sacred Lands all sitting around there, trying to take a break, each of them looked exhausted.
"Looks like the gravity of the surroundings must be crazy strong. Otherwise, these people wouldn't be looking like this after travelling for just ten kilometres." Henry analysed. He was still being enveloped in the light and was not affected by the force of the gravity.
"They're finally here!"
"Hurry up! We need something to eat!"
"I'm going to starve to death soon!"
Voices sounded one after another. The students had all been looking forward to the arrival of Henry and the two.
At their level, they were supposedly able to survive even if they did not eat, the absorption of Qi was enough for them to carry on.
However, since they had gotten used to eating, it was difficult for them to suddenly not be given anything to eat, it was similar to trying to make the smokers quit smoking. Moreover, the Qi could only keep them alive, and did not provide much in terms of nutrition. Most importantly, the Qi in that world was not very rich, and it was not enough to provide for them to survive without eating at all.
Plus, due to the gravity, everyone's craving for food was constantly increasing, causing all them to feel hungry very quickly.
"Quit dawdling, hurry up and cook us something!" Govind, the one who had a conflict with Henry earlier, ordered him immediately.
