Cyber, Extraordinary and Extraordinary Adventures

Chapter 80: An Unexpected Message!

Amidst the scattered debris, the fleas dared not linger, scattering in all directions with screeching cries.

The big guy above us is currently feeding and has no attention here.

Those fleas have been terrified and will certainly not dare to come back anytime soon. An excellent opportunity to escape has arrived!

While the camouflage effect of the dust has not completely disappeared.

Yu Jing quickly left the shadows where he was hiding and quickened his pace to get out of the danger zone.

After running some distance and confirming that no monsters were chasing him, he turned back to look at the terrifying creature hiding in the tree canopy.

With just one glance, he couldn't help but gasp.

The tree canopy, which was tens of meters high, had been occupied by countless giant snakes at some point.

Their ends intertwine and wrap around the trunk and branches, leaving the front half, including the head, constantly protruding from the canopy from all directions, serving as moving limbs and hunting tools, creating an extremely bizarre scene.

Yu Jing even suspected that these snakes did not exist independently, but rather as a giant snake ball with a main body. The smaller snakes, like tentacles, wrapped around the branches and were responsible for dragging the main body to move between the tree canopy, while the huge and ferocious pythons constantly reached out in all directions, searching for prey in the forest. Once they found something, they would swarm over and devour it clean.

This reminded him of the bloated lump of flesh he had seen in the novice trials, whose way of moving was not much different from the snake ball in front of him.

However, the former is only about two meters in diameter, while this guy's main body is at least ten meters or more.

It is highly likely to be one of the top predators in this dark and dense forest.

Two consecutive encounters gave Yu Jing a completely new understanding of the dangers of the "Hometown of Blood Therapy".

The beast-like priest who nearly drove him to the brink of despair during the novice trials would probably only be fit to be a mouthful of food for that guy here.

Fortunately, Yu Jing was quite lucky and managed to escape the danger zone thanks to the power of the giant snake ball.

With the map on the Torchwatch serving as a guide, it wasn't too difficult to find the stone path leading to the fishing village again.

What followed was a long journey. Having just escaped the crisis, Yu Jing became even more cautious. Sometimes, even if it meant hiding for a while longer, he would avoid direct conflict with the monsters in the dense forest, for fear of attracting another large group of monsters to attack him.

We walked around like this, stopping and starting, for about an hour.

Yu Jing keenly noticed that the surrounding trees were beginning to thin out, while the fog was getting thicker, and the air was gradually becoming damp and cold, filled with a fishy smell. He knew that he was about to reach his destination.

Sure enough, after walking a few hundred meters further, a road sign stuck in the roadside came into view.

Upon closer inspection, a decaying merman head was found piercing through the top of the wooden pole. It was unclear whether this was a reminder to passersby that the fishing village was just ahead, or an attempt to threaten other mermen and prevent them from crossing the boundary and entering human territory.

"It looks like the fishing village is just ahead."

Stopping in front of the road sign, Yu Jing had originally planned to find a place to rest for a while. But seeing that the fishing village was almost there, his originally tired body gained some strength, so he thought he would continue walking for a while and find a secluded place to rest.

He wasn't a superman, after all. Carrying a heavy pack through the dense forest while maintaining high concentration would be extremely taxing on his physical strength. He couldn't possibly use the two bottles of stamina potion he had on the road.

If the area around the road sign hadn't been so open, he would have been ready to rest there.

However, the further Yu Jing went, the more she felt something was wrong.

The reason is simple: the fog is too thick!

As he passed the road sign for the fishing village, he stood by the sign and looked ahead. Although the fog in the woods was thicker than before, it was still only below his knees and did not affect his vision. At most, he would have to be more careful when walking.

But after walking only a few hundred meters, the fog had already enveloped the surrounding woodland, a completely different situation from what they had seen before.

The unusual change in the environment alerted Yu Jing, who decisively turned around and tried to walk back.

To everyone's surprise, after running a few steps, the surrounding area was still shrouded in thick fog, showing no sign of dissipating.

Even more bizarrely, the Torchwatch's map page showed that he wasn't going back at all, but rather going to the left.

He's lost!

Yu Jing was confident in his sense of direction, so there was only one possibility for this inexplicable situation to suddenly appear.

There's something wrong with this woodland.

It's just unclear whether it was caused by human intervention or formed naturally.

If it were someone else, they might be wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, hoping to find their way out of the fog by luck.

In contrast, Yu Jing remained quite calm.

With the Torchwatch by his side, even a maze of this level couldn't stop him.

The fog might confuse his sense of direction, but it couldn't change the display of the explored routes on the map page.

The route they came from was clear, meaning Yu Jing only needed to keep an eye on the map and make sure he was moving forward. If he noticed that the explored route on the map was starting to turn to the side, he would immediately make adjustments.

This way you can ensure that you're not just going around in circles, wasting time and energy.

In the current situation, returning the road sign is pointless.

His target was the Blood of Enlightenment located in the fishing village. He could bypass the cemetery because it was only so big, and it would just take a few more steps. But how could he get around the fog that seemed to appear out of nowhere if he didn't go in?

Having come this far, Yu Jing had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue forward.

They abandoned using their eyes to determine direction and relied entirely on maps and routes to guide their way.

It has to be said that this method is very useful. No matter what the surrounding situation is, the area that is gradually being explored on the map page will not lie. Yu Jing did not believe that this maze could be so large as to cover the entire fishing village and the surrounding coastline.

But just as Yu Jing was steadily moving forward...

A red exclamation mark suddenly appeared in the broadcast section of the Torch Watch!

This made his eyes widen suddenly.

If I remember correctly, the system explained that this function was used to contact other departments of the Torch Organization. However, since Yu Jing currently has no idea how to contact other organizations, this function is temporarily disabled.

Yu Jing originally thought that he would have to travel to various foreign lands to gather information about the Torch Organization in order to truly activate this function. He never expected that a department or individual from the Torch Organization would take the initiative to contact him!

Could the other party also be in this alien land?

Filled with confusion, Yu Jing let out a long sigh and opened the [Broadcast] page.

The series of question marks at the top has disappeared, replaced by a message without any signature. Clicking on it reveals no text content, only coordinates.

After tapping the icon, it directly redirects to the [Map] page.

Immediately, a green dot of light appeared in the upper right corner of where Yu Jing was currently located!
