#445 - Chapter 434 Fallen Angel (Part 1)
"How's the discussion going?"
Just as the group was conversing, several more figures arrived together from behind, accompanied by a slightly weathered voice.
"Depart as soon as possible."
Gaelin said plainly, then briefly explained the situation.
"Is that so..."
Naturally, the others had no objections and nodded in agreement.
However, when they looked at Jiang Han, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"Alright, save any questions for later. The main priority now is how to enter the Barren Canyon."
Seeing that the others seemed to have more to say, Gaelin interjected in time, steering the topic back on course.
Upon hearing this, the others composed themselves.
The name 'Barren Canyon' carried immense dread for anyone on the Apocalypse Continent.
"Is this Barren Canyon really that dangerous?"
Watching the others quiet down, Jiang Han asked Gaelin thoughtfully, "I can sense that your strengths are considerable, surely it's not to that extent, is it?"
"It's not just ordinary danger."
Gaelin explained with a serious expression, "You haven't experienced it, so you probably don't know what the Barren Canyon truly signifies. Even for us, it's an absolute forbidden zone."
"Because this place was once the site of an earth-shattering battle."
An earth-shattering battle?
Jiang Han's heart stirred slightly. The greatest war that had ever occurred on the entire Apocalypse Continent was undoubtedly the one in ancient times when Lucifer led the Imperial forces to confront the Anomalies head-on.
Could this Barren Canyon be related to that?
However, Jiang Han didn't ask further, knowing that loose lips sink ships.
After all, he wasn't a native of the Apocalypse Continent, and saying too much might give him away.
Especially about such a sensitive matter.
So, along the way, Jiang Han remained silent, hardly speaking at all.
Gaelin continued, "Once, the Apocalypse Continent was incredibly glorious and vibrant, with an immensely powerful being standing at its pinnacle, who established a formidable empire, under whom were countless strong individuals."
"Unfortunately, even the mightiest of nations eventually meets its end."
"On a distant day, a group of filthy and savage creatures invaded the Apocalypse Continent, seeking to destroy everything."
"That powerful being led the empire and engaged them in a fierce war."
"And this Barren Canyon was the very center of the battle."
"I see," Jiang Han nodded, already understanding in his heart that this battle was indeed the war between Lucifer and the Anomalies.
At this moment, Arthur Lande took over the conversation, "Last time, I went to the edge of the area. Within the canyon, there are still some remnants of sophisticated components."
"Although they have suffered the erosion of time, I can still discern that there was once an incredibly glorious civilization here."
"And now, it's just a canyon."
"I can't imagine what kind of intense battle once unfolded here."
"It is indeed quite special," Jiang Han nodded, "But these things are, after all, matters of the distant past. They shouldn't have much to do with the word 'danger,' right?"
"Of course, they do."
Arthur Lande explained, "Death energy!"
"In the Barren Canyon, death energy is everywhere, and it corrodes every creature that enters."
"And more importantly..."
"In the canyon, there are also Fallen Angels."
"These Fallen Angels, are they not living beings?" Jiang Han immediately grasped Arthur Lande's meaning.
"Indeed."
Arthur Lande nodded, "These Fallen Angels are powerful in themselves, and their numbers are extremely large. Their recovery ability is even more astonishing. Even if they are crushed into powder, their bodies will regenerate and return."
"Undying and indestructible?" Jiang Han frowned.
"You could understand it that way."
"Is that so..."
Jiang Han's eyes flickered slightly.
Even a god-level powerhouse like Arthur Lande said they were troublesome, so these Fallen Angels must be unimaginably dangerous.
However, he didn't believe in so-called immortality.
Because even Lucifer had fallen, let alone these so-called Fallen Angels.
Moreover, similar creatures were not absent in the Canyuan Continent.
The Crystal Beasts had the characteristic of infinite regeneration, but it relied on the existence of the Cycle Seal.
So, behind the resurrection of these Fallen Angels, there must also be a hidden secret.
Most likely, it's some item or equipment.
"Perhaps, what I'm looking for is in the Barren Canyon."
Jiang Han vaguely speculated in his heart that the things Lucifer left behind after his fall should be hidden in the canyon.
"Of course, the Fallen Angels alone can't threaten our lives. They are troublesome, but as long as we don't confront them head-on, it's fine."
Gaelin said, "But now, what we need to do is to delve deep into the Barren Canyon. What other dangers lie within is hard to say, after all, no one has ever reached the deepest part of the Barren Canyon."
"And according to the King's instructions, the sacred object you are looking for is in the most dangerous place."
"You need to know these things in advance. This is not a child's play."
"If you don't take it seriously, there's a high chance you'll lose your life."
