A few minutes later, Grey and the Captain were already traveling far into the distance using an earth movement art cast by the Captain. With a subtle wave of her hand and a steady flow of energy, the ground beneath them softened like flowing mud. Their bodies gradually sank several meters underground, swallowed by the earth without leaving even the slightest trace on the surface.
This art allowed them to move stealthily beneath the terrain, gliding through soil and stone as though swimming through water. Above them, countless red tentacles swayed incessantly across the surface, writhing like living serpents searching for prey. However, none of them could sense the two figures passing silently below.
With this method, Grey and the Captain would neither be disturbed by the grotesque forest of tentacles nor be trapped within another tunnel of flesh like the one Grey had narrowly escaped.
