The sky was a nauseating deep purple, without a sun, only a few massive organs floating high above.
Those organs emitted a pus-yellow glow, providing a sickly illumination to the eerie biological forest.
The most unsettling thing was the sound.
The entire forest was "breathing," emitting a deep sound akin to whale cries.
Occasionally, one could hear noises similar to digestion and the rustling of blood flowing through veins.
This was not a forest, but the innards of some gigantic creature!
In this terrifying environment, the archaeological team's campsite appeared particularly out of place.
A few tents made of special materials surrounded a deep excavation shaft.
Various instruments emitting blue light were densely arranged around the shaft.
A dozen Wizards were working tensely, wearing heavy protective suits and masks.
Even so, a few people's skin displayed an unhealthy grayish-white.
This was the result of long-term exposure to the Abyss's aura.
