Since the teleportation was within the same world, the journey was swift.
Barely a minute passed before the light around the group dimmed and solid ground returned beneath their feet.
When Lin Mu opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at the center of another teleportation plaza. But unlike the dark volcanic stones of Ash Crown City, here the ground was made of pale gray stone, smooth and polished, as if it had been washed by the ocean countless times.
The first thing that greeted him was the air.
Instead of the dry, ash-choked winds of the volcanic north, his lungs filled with cool, briny air. The scent of salt, seaweed, and faint spray carried by the ocean breeze was so refreshing that it almost felt like a different world entirely.
Around them stretched Hawk Cliff City.
Lin Mu let his gaze travel outward, and he could see that the city was built directly along the edge of a massive cliff that overlooked the ocean.
