Chapter 188 A Strange WorldEntering the wilderness, the west side seems to have a different geology than the east side. The trees here are shorter, and their leaves are not broad-leaved, but mostly needle-leaved. Follow the map all the way to the center of the wilderness. When the map was drawn, this area was probably still in human hands. After being in the hands of the monster for many years, many of its features have changed. Su Chen used mountains, lakes and rivers as search marks as much as possible. It has been more than two hours since we entered the wilderness at noon. Su Chen found the river marked on the map. However, there are clear signs that the river has changed its course and is no longer in its previous direction. Using [Monster Hunter] to avoid various monsters, Su Chen searched for the original direction of the river.
There is a lot of sand and rocks where the river flows out. And the soil underneath is more likely to grow some low shrubs and weeds. After so many years, the soil quality may have changed. But now, Su Chen can only rely on this method to find it. As the sky gradually darkened, Su Chen finally found a place that looked like the site of an old river. After confirming the sign, follow the direction on the map and walk towards the southwest. Before dark, Su Chen found the location shown on the map. This place is located deep in the wilderness, and it would be extremely difficult to find if it weren't for the map. As he approached, Su Chen looked at the surrounding environment carefully. There are dense trees on all sides, almost blocking all external views. If you walk through these trees and into the middle, you'll see a completely different view. The area in between is completely bare, without a single tree growing. There is a little green, but it is just some low weeds. It's like someone has cut a circle of space in a dense forest. The stone tablet mentioned by Master Shangxuan also stands among them, extremely conspicuous. As they approached the open space, Su Chen immediately felt that there was something mysterious going on. There seemed to be a pressure that could not be shaken off, always weighing on my shoulders. There is even a sense of invisible turbulence around. The turbulence is disturbing. As soon as you walk here, you seem to become a little upset.
No wonder Master Shangxuan said that practicing meditation here would achieve twice the result with half the effort. It is difficult to be calm here. Su Chen activated the destiny of [Perseverance] and allowed himself to gradually adapt to the environment here. Then he walked to the stone tablet and began to read. When Master Shangxuan got this map, he thought it was a secret technique left by a saint. Throughout the Great Zhou, there were countless people who wanted to obtain this treasure. But even if they got the map, the secret mechanisms that many masters had sought but could not obtain were still hidden in it and had never seen the light of day. Before coming, Master Shangxuan reminded Su Chen. Let Su Chen not waste too much time studying the contents on this stone tablet. But after seeing the contents on the stone tablet, Su Chen felt somewhat confident. Those incomprehensible small words above don’t seem as obscure as the ones I got from the secret wilderness. Thinking of this, Su Chen activated the [Bachelor] destiny. Just set the time within one day. After twelve hours, I did not comprehend the contents of the stone tablet, so I gave up on it and began to practice meditation. The sky is gradually getting dark, and the destiny of [Monster Hunter] is activated, paying attention to the movements of monsters around. What surprised Su Chen was that these monsters avoided this area. They can sense the weirdness here and don't come near it at all. Su Chen did not rest at night. With the help of the faint light, continue to study the meaning of it. After activating the [Bachelor] destiny, Su Chen indeed had a lot more ideas when looking at this stone tablet again. Even if one can understand the words on the stele, one cannot immediately comprehend the deep meaning. After reading through the words, one can see that the stele is actually a sacrificial text. But this eulogy is a little strange, as it was written by the author himself. The content of the memorial talks about the things that the author regretted and was happy about in his life, lamenting that his youth is gone and it is difficult to make up for the debt in his heart. At this point, we are far from being able to see the mystery. And Su Chen saw the tips left by the author in this eulogy. In this eulogy, some guidance was given, which seemed to be seeking guidance from the saint's treasure. Following the instructions on the stele, Su Chen walked to the left side of the stele. Cut down several trees from the surrounding area and nail them into the ground according to a certain layout. Let these trees form a certain formation.
It was almost noon and some light was already appearing in the sky. After a short wait, several trees suddenly collapsed. Instead, a hole appeared on the other side of the stone tablet. Going forward to observe, there seemed to be a very long corridor under the pit. Seeing this scene, Su Chen was sure that he had deciphered the contents recorded on the stone tablet. Even if others understood the contents of the stone tablet. It is also necessary to comprehend the hidden guidance in the sacrificial text in order to find a way to open the corridor. No wonder both Master Shangxuan and Gu Feng had been here before but failed to uncover the secret. After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen jumped in. The hole above his head was sealed again when he stepped on the ground of the corridor. I remembered what Elder Shangxuan said, that when he fought for this map, it was to seek the saint's secret mechanism. The scenes before my eyes seemed to be really related to the agency. How can an ordinary person build such a sophisticated and mysterious mechanism? Activating the destiny of [Good Monster Hunter], Su Chen tried his best to stay alert. The corridor was dark and gloomy, but a tinder was lit to provide some light. This corridor seems very long. After discovering that there was no danger, Su Chen quickened his pace. After walking for a while, the corridor became sloped. Su Chen began to slide directly along the corridor, sliding up and down continuously, and slid for nearly an hour. After landing on a flat ground and walking for another two hours, Su Chen could vaguely see some light in the distance. We moved faster and got closer, and found that it was a small cave. In front of the cave entrance, there is a large cluster of lush bushes. No wonder only a little light can be seen. Looking out of the cave, there is another vast world in front of you. After wandering around in the corridor, Su Chen didn't know where he was. I had no idea where this place was located on the mainland. But this place is very different from the outside world. After coming out of the tunnel, I could still feel a lingering pressure pressing down on my shoulders.
The disturbing turbulence still exists. It seemed that the pressure at the location of the stone tablet just now was transmitted from here. Su Chen is currently on a cliff. It's a remote place, with hardly any human habitation to be seen. With the bushes covering it, the entrance to the cave is even more hidden. Descending from the cliff with the help of "Walking Cloud Steps", Su Chen began to explore this world. Su Chen guessed that he was probably in the area further south of this wilderness. Most likely it will be in the deepest part of the wilderness. I thought to myself, but these are just my guesses. While walking, Su Chen discovered a river. If there are monsters or other people in this world, they will most likely build their houses based on the rivers. (End of this chapter)
