Tyler and his group trudged through the vast expanse of the Abyssal Desert, the scorching heat bearing down on them. Though their cultivation had returned, the oppressive nature of the Abyss still weighed heavily on them. Each step they took kicked up blackened sand that shimmered unnaturally, as if infused with residual energy from the void.
"Ever heard of Abyss Hunters?" Astrid asked, breaking the silence.
"Yeah," Tyler responded, not taking his eyes off the erratic compass in his hand. "They hunt and gather rare materials in the Abyss, then sell them to other worlds. From what I heard, some of them literally live in the Abyss for centuries."
"In a way, we're also like Abyss Hunters," Mathilda added, glancing at the desolate landscape.
Tyler nodded. "Nope... More like we are Visitors."
Mathilda smirked but said nothing more.
