The surrounding environment gradually turned desolate.
Hilia sensed a faint yet persistent pollution in the air.
There was also a strange fluctuation, similar to Demonic Qi pollution, making people feel very uncomfortable.
That was Deathly Miasma.
Such peculiar fluctuations only appeared in places where mass deaths had occurred, or where High-tier beings perished unexpectedly, their resentful souls refusing to dissipate for ages.
Quite a few plants thrived in these special environments, like the Undying Tree, Ghost Fruit, and so on.
Hilia didn't fly ahead of the others. She followed unhurriedly behind, listening to their deliberately disguised conversation.
When she felt the Deathly Miasma and pollution intensifying, she observed everyone's expression, but none appeared uncomfortable—it was as if they'd long grown used to it.
"Even if they're not heretics, anyone living near Dusk Town must have become used to pollution and Deathly Miasma by now, right?"
