Before seeing the actual data, Hao Ren had a feeling the Inferno was just a piece of debris that fell off the Plane of Dreams and became part of this universe . The special nature of this space debris was that it did not have a fixed position in the universe; it constantly drifted on the edge of the real world, and occasionally made contact with Earth . This triggered the so-called the opening of Inferno that occurred many times in Earth's history . But, the data sent back by the probe seemed to suggest that the dimension was more complicated than previously thought . This space fragment from the Plane of Dreams did not fully enter the Surface World; it was stuck between the Surface World and the Plane of Dreams!
The data the MDT showed was still fluctuating . It showed the ever-changing relative position of the Inferno dimension . Without the necessary tools, it was impossible interpret the data . So far Hao Ren could analyse things because he was using the data link; his mind was connected to the MDT, which in turned was connected to the data network of the Xi Ling Empire . This linkage allowed inspectors to see things beyond-human perspectives . It did not enhance other human qualities and would not increase one's IQ . Its biggest function was to let Hao Ren think outside the box beyond to understand the abstract knowledge .
So he understood what Infernal dimension was really about; it was essentially a gangrene on the Wall of Reality .
The tremor of this space debris on the Wall of Reality was probably the cause of the deterioration of the situation—at least it was one of the reasons .
But Hessiana and her sidekicks had no clue what the Wall of Reality was . They wanted to catch the wizard as quickly as possible . Hessiana pointed at the portal . "Can we use it now? Would the drift that you mentioned affect it?"
Hao Ren switched on the portal . "Don't worry . This thing is much more advanced than what Baptiste has ever made . " He sounded very confident .
He now knew why the magic masters on Earth had been unable to find a stable Inferno gate; they failed to jump out of their cosmic worldview, and fixed portals did not work on a drifting dimension because of the incompatible coordinate system .
But his portal could do that .
He fired up the portal as it gave out a slight humming sound; a translucent warped sphere emerged over the silver platform . Hao Ren and the others stepped back slightly . When the sphere expanded large enough to allow a person to walk through, Hao Ren went in first . He said, "Let's go and catch the wizard!"
After they crossed a layer of turbulent and warped light film, the harsh environment of Infernal dimension greeted them on the other side .
It was hot and stinking space like a dirty swamp of hot spring; decomposing substances covered the earth with lumpy dark earth . It was lifeless . There was no sunlight, moon nor stars . Thick clouds blocked shrouded the world . Only the weird, non-sun lighting glow from within the clouds provided some light to the land that otherwise a completely dark world . This is Inferno . It was different from what the religious story described but nonetheless it was still an inferno .
Lily could not help but cough . She had sensitive nose . "This is truly a hellish place . Let me put on the collar . "
She felt better with the life-support collar on . Her brows knit together as she looked around . "Does this hellish place support life at all?"
She felt better with the life-support collar on . Her brows knit together as she looked around . "Does this hellish place support life at all?"
"Well, at least you would find something like the Infernal Fleshripper . " Vivian nodded . "I have only been there once but it was thousands of years ago . I've almost forgotten about the situation here . So everyone please keep your eyes open . "
Nangong Wuyue was making a hissing sound in her throat . She sensed the presence of water vapour; it was not a very difficult place to survive, but the water vapour was mixing with some unpleasant odours . The sense of hostility and corrosiveness irritated her . Hao Ren noticed it . He asked, "Hey? You okay? Why not you put the collar on?"
"It's nothing to do with the conventional senses," Nangong Wuyue replied . She then summoned a mist and transformed herself into siren . The tiny water sphere made up of mist began to purify the surrounding air . "I sense a force in the water; it is harmful to living things . Siren is very sensitive to water as we are water elemental creatures . . . Oh, it's really uncomfortable here . "
Hao Ren looked up into the distance . There were bubbling, muddy hot springs of disgusting colours . When the huge bubbles on the surface of the hot spring popped, it spurted out a green, dirty air .
The muddy hot spring was the cradle of life on most planets, but the ones in Inferno was totally another thing .
These hot springs were the most abundant form of water in the world but it was disgusting . No wonder Nangong Wuyue felt so uncomfortable .
"Sorry, I have to transform the second time . I just can't stand it . "
"Sorry, I have to transform the second time . I just can't stand it . "
Then she collapsed into water droplets .
The water droplets hovered and condensed in the air, and finally became a gel-like soft stuff . A Slime .
Maybe it was not a Slime . It was just a form of Nangong Wuyue's existence . But the appearance did not help it, it was translucent gel-like substance .
The slime shook and made a groaning sound . "Okay, I've completed my formshift . "
"Are you sure you've finished?" Lily looked at her, stunned . "People usually turned into something more badass . But you don't even have a face now . "
The slime shook its body and this time, it had an upper body of a female, but still translucent . Nangong Wuyue asked, "How does it look this time?"
Lily: "… . . "
The slime shook its body and this time, it had an upper body of a female, but still translucent . Nangong Wuyue asked, "How does it look this time?"
Lily: "… . . "
"This body form could produce the greatest amount of elemental affinity . I have to compete with the native water environment of this world for control, otherwise I will evaporate . " Nangong Wuyue splashed water to explain her point . "I can also spare some energy to maintain a clean air space for you . Too many things in this space make me feel uneasy . I need to block them out . "
"This place is too big . . . Where are we going to find Baptiste?" Nangong Sanba looked at the endless mass of land . "I suspect this is a planet . How difficult it is to find someone in this place?"
"Let's see how lucky we are, but I hope we have not deviated too far," Vivian said . She raised her hands, and immediately a large swarm of bats appeared and spread out in the air behind her . "I have created these hunting bats . I have already remembered Baptiste's smell . These little bats are able to sense him from several dozen kilometres away . "
The bat swarm was so large so that it covered almost the entire sky . This was unlike anything Vivian had done before . Hao Ren was shocked . Hessiana stared at the bats, slowly sinking into thought as she mumbled, "I was yanked out exactly the same way last time . "
Hessiana used to be one of Vivian's tiny bat . But she had transcended . Now, she was a little emotional when she looked at her 'siblings' by the thousand .
The bats dispersed into the distance . Hao Ren also released all the probes from his dimensional pocket . These agile probes were known for their speed, though unlike Vivian's hunting bats, these probes could scan a vast area in a short time and dramatically increase the chances of finding Baptiste .
