Not long after, Valeria almost finished all the food that was cooked by Rocky.
"Whew! I'm so full!" The food was so good that her appetite alone made her eat a lot even though originally, she was not even that hungry.
"Good. Now, you can take a nice rest. We'll set out at dawn, so go into the tree hole first. I just have to do something," Rocky said and eventually stood up.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Valeria could not help but ask.
"I'm just going to set up an enchanted barrier. We don't know when those ghostly demons might suddenly appear."
"Oh, okay." Afterward, Valeria also stood up and went into the tree hole. Upon sitting on the ground, she got herself comfortable and closed her eyes to recover her strength.
Rocky then proceeded to set up the enchanted barrier around the area. A bit later, he sat beside the fire and summoned Kohen.
"I need you to explore the surroundings. We have to know where we should go next. However, if you sense any danger, come back at once," Rocky instructed. At this point, Kohen was his only remaining spiritual beast. Hence, he cherished it so much.
Kohen understood everything Rocky said, so it did not waste any time and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
About two hours later, it returned safe and sound. Then, Rocky activated the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill in order to know what Kohen had to say. Later on, he learned from it that the dense forest was just a periphery of a valley. A few miles away from where they were, Kohen found an entrance into this valley.
"Hmm. I wonder if this valley leads to the Demon Sealing Palace..." Rocky had a bit of a hunch, but they would have to go in person if he wanted to confirm his speculation.
Thus, he decided early the next morning, both he and Valeria would go deep into the forest to find this path that led to the valley.
After resting for the entire night, the two were refreshed and ready to set out. Right after dawn, they ventured into the depths of the primeval forest, searching for the entrance to the valley.
Meanwhile, both Zain's team and Enoch's team were in different areas, also experiencing the same hellish journey that Rocky and Valeria went through. Some of their companions were injured, but the two candidates were both safe.
On the other hand, Layla's team had not been so lucky. Just as Rocky feared, their other companions were also scattered in different areas because they were caught up with the destruction of the teleportation point. Although Layla had been trying her best to gather all of her dispersed team members, she was just able to find half of them. Obviously, she still hadn't found Rocky and Valeria. Because of this, the princess could not help but worry for the two Godly Geniuses. After all, if anything bad happened to them, she would not know how to explain it to both Gilbert and Flora.
But in fact, she didn't even need to worry about the two. Rocky and Valeria were able to handle the dangers of the Ghostly Demon Land just fine.
After walking for about half a day, Rocky and Valeria finally got to the entrance of the valley that Kohen found last night. However, as they stepped into the entrance, something unexpected happened. The primeval forest behind them gradually disappeared, and they were eventually surrounded by towering rock walls.
As if telling them that there was no turning back, the two did not have much of a choice but to move forward.
While wandering around, Rocky soon noticed that it was not really a valley. To be more precise, it was like a huge tomb where countless bones could be seen piling on top of each other. It seemed that ordinary human bones were mixed up with huge beast bones. When Rocky took a closer look, he discerned that the huge beast bones were not just from ordinary spiritual or diabolic beasts.
Moreover, most of the bones were buried deep in sand, and only some parts were exposed above the ground. Therefore, it could be said that countless years had already passed since these creatures died in this place.
