Crimson smoke billowed from the edges of the City without a Top, surging towards the central pyramid like a tidal wave.
Lu Yuan was led by Lin Zhiquin towards the pyramid. Behind them, the dense, milk-like crimson smoke advanced rapidly, like water from a breached dam.
"Something's not right!" Lin Zhiquin suddenly exclaimed while running. "The flow speed of this smoke is unnatural—much faster than in other areas!"
Lu Yuan, naturally, had already noticed this. Using his Spiritual Power to survey the entire area, he could clearly "see" that the crimson smoke in their vicinity was sweeping forward roughly four times faster than elsewhere. Many people along their path were caught off guard, swallowed by the dense smoke before they could react. The number of title rankings on the giant screen overhead was decreasing at a visibly astonishing pace.
