Following the road forward, the pollution grows thicker.
The dense pollution even drives away some of the deathly aura, making it much thinner.
There aren't any ghosts wandering nearby, either.

About an hour later, a village comes into view in the distance. Beck immediately says, "Up ahead is the investigation team's camp. We've investigated here for so many years, the camp has basically developed into a small village."
When she senses the camp's pollution—so thick it rivals a Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association base—Hilia is absolutely certain: this is a heretic stronghold.
Only the Dusk Sect is active in this area. It's obvious, this is their base.
"This is the first time I've seen a base that isn't hidden in a cave or cavern. These Dusk weirdos are getting cocky, huh?"
Gazing at the camp that looked just like a village, Hilia recalls the smirk on Wagner's face before he left.
