[Utopia]
On the desolate land outside Yunzhou City, a man wearing Half-Face Mask was running wildly, faster than a galloping horse, his passing like a whirlwind. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a dense forest and found a secluded cave to crawl into.
A moment later, the roar of a wild beast echoed from the cave. It stopped abruptly after only two roars, and then a huge bear head flew out, rolled a few times on the ground, and remained motionless.
Inside the cave, Luo Jun opened the Hundred Treasure Box and took out a scepter-like object, more than a foot long, with a handle at one end and a bulging end at the other, engraved with intricate patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
This is the most powerful treasure that Luo Jun currently possesses: the Gate of Myriad Realms.
This scepter can be used to open a Teleportation Gate to any world, which can last up to seven days. However, the location of the portal in the target world is completely random, and it can be guaranteed not to get stuck in an unreasonable place. It can be used a total of three times.
Upon learning of his Master's disappearance in [Utopia], Luo Jun immediately remembered this treasure. Using the Gate of Myriad Realms, he could rescue his Master. To this end, he had secretly summoned the Tomb King, ordering him to wear the Imposter Mask and impersonate him to stay in the party and confuse the enemy.
After what happened at Medicine King Valley, Luo Jun is now seen as an injured person, and no one will easily bother him. The Tomb King is also clever enough to handle the upcoming internship.
Of course, even if he couldn't handle it and was exposed, Luo Jun couldn't care less. His Master was in danger, how could he sit idly by!
Holding the Gate of Myriad Realms, Luo Jun summoned the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind.
"Ding! This event is Mandatory Event and cannot be determined. Number of dice rolls reduced by one!"
The younger the better, the easier it is to find Master!
Luo Jun was slightly taken aback. Such a description couldn't possibly guarantee success, so it meant certain failure?
This reminded Luo Jun of the Outstanding Trial Arena in the Savage Wilderness, where the use of any magical artifacts was forbidden, and it was impossible to get out from there. But what if someone opened a door from the outside to enter? Luo Jun guessed that there would be restrictions as well. His Master might very well be in such an environment.
An impossible event? Could it be that Master has already...?
Open the Teleportation Gate to Master's location!
This time, the dice rolled!
Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the judgment that was bound to fail just now had nothing to do with his Master's life or death. It must be that his Master was in a special environment and could not use the Gate of Myriad Realms to teleport.
No, it's not certain yet!
He thought for a moment and changed his wording.
Open the Teleportation Gate to Master's location!
Luo Jun's head buzzed, and he felt dizzy... but he quickly calmed down.
Mandatory Event?
Difficulty level 100? Does that mean the Parami Region where Master resides accounts for less than one percent of the [Utopia] world?
Luo Jun picked up the Gate of Myriad Realms and drew a circle taller than a person deep in the cave. As the circle closed, a portal to another dimension appeared!
As the two pairs of dice stopped spinning, one pair showed 34 points and the other showed 91 points!
"Ding! Event Difficulty 100 points, Final Points 91 + 15 points, Event Success!"
Come to think of it, although Master has old injuries, his Foundation Establishment are at their peak, and he also possesses the Body Tempering Art. His strength is comparable to that of a top-tier Martial Combat Faction. In addition, he has countless Law Treasure. If it weren't for some special Secret Realm, how could it possibly trap him!
That's another world on the other side!
Luo Jun took a deep breath, put away the Gate of Myriad Realms, and stepped across the Teleportation Gate leading to [Utopia].
The sunlight is so blinding... It's so hot... The ground feels soft and fine... Is it a desert?
Luo Jun looked around and found that as far as the eye could see, there was only endless yellow sand...
Although his resistance to heat and cold had been greatly enhanced through the treatment, Luo Jun could still feel the direct sunlight on his skin... The temperature here must be extremely high...
Wait, the sun is shining directly on my skin?
Luo Jun looked down and found himself almost completely naked, with only the Midnight Mask on his face and his Bottom Line still on.
Even after passing through the Gate of Myriad Realms, one can't bring any non-treasure items? Luo Jun looked back at the Teleportation Gate behind him and shook his head. Looking at the surrounding desert and the sun overhead, he couldn't even tell which way was which. Where was he supposed to find his Master?
Luo Jun took out a small knife from his Hundred Treasure Box, tossed it into the air, and simultaneously summoned dice in his mind. "Point to the direction where Master is."
"Ding, this event is Mandatory Event and cannot be determined. The number of dice rolls is reduced by one."
Mandatory Event... which means Master is in an untraceable location? Luo Jun frowned and put away his knife. No wonder even the Gate of Myriad Realms couldn't reach him; Master is probably trapped in some kind of special Different Space.
It seems we still need to gather intelligence first.
Luo Jun crouched slightly, channeled his strength into his legs, and leaped upwards!
With a deafening roar, the sand beneath his feet was blasted apart by the violent force, raising a cloud of dust, and he himself was propelled hundreds of meters into the air, looking around.
Still can't see the end... How big is this desert...? Damn, the sand is too soft, I can't get any leverage when I jump. If I could jump a little higher, maybe I could... Hey? That's...
As he was pondering this, Luo Jun suddenly noticed a group of people wearing headscarves leading camels slowly across the desert in the distance.
The camels are carrying a lot of luggage and goods; is it a caravan? Having people around makes things easier!
After landing, Luo Jun rushed towards the caravan.
The caravan members also noticed Luo Jun approaching rapidly. They probably had never seen anyone run so fast shirtless in the desert before. They screamed in fright and took their guns off their camels, loaded them, and aimed them at him.
Fearing a misunderstanding, Luo Jun quickly raised his hands in a friendly gesture, but when he tried to speak, he discovered that they couldn't understand each other at all...
[Utopia] is a world similar to the Xiluo culture. The mainstream civilization in this world is a huge industrialized country called Utopiya. It is similar to Main World industrial civilization of Xiluo two hundred years ago, but the direction of development is completely different. Some technologies are very primitive, while others are exceptionally advanced... Many people who have been to [Utopia] on forums describe it with four words: Steampunk!
The main language of Utopiya is similar to Xiluo Common Language, allowing for largely seamless communication. However, outside this country, many marginalized nations and civilizations exist, with their own diverse and varied languages and scripts...
If it were just the Xiluo Common Language, Luo Jun could manage to utter a few words, but what these Desert People were saying was clearly not it; Luo Jun couldn't understand a single letter...
He was anxious, but the Desert People were even more anxious. They were driving their camels, humming songs, and moving forward Village Chief in the desert when suddenly a naked man wearing a mask rushed out, running faster than a desert rabbit. Who wouldn't be scared? Seeing that they couldn't communicate, they could only point their guns at Luo Jun and threaten him to leave immediately.
Luo Jun sighed. To obtain the intelligence, he had no choice but to ignore the threat and continue forward. The Desert People became even more agitated upon seeing this, and finally someone pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bullet struck Luo Jun in the chest and ricocheted off...
Not even a red mark was left.
The Desert People were even more terrified at the sight, and the others also opened fire, but they couldn't break through the defenses at all. As Luo Jun got closer and closer, they actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting as if begging for forgiveness.
Luo Jun sighed, helped the leader to his feet, and with a combination of words and gestures, finally one person asked in heavily accented Utopian Common Language, "Do you want to go to the city?"
Luo Jun understood the word "city"; it was indeed similar to the word in the Xiluo. He nodded, and the man pointed him in a direction. Luo Jun thanked him in Xi Luo Language and walked in that direction. The Desert People all breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up...
However, after taking only a few steps, Luo Jun suddenly turned back, startling the group so much that they knelt down again.
Luo Jun searched his limited vocabulary and finally uttered a single word. "Clothes!"
The group exchanged glances, then took out a set of clothes from their luggage and handed them to him. Luo Jun immediately changed into them, thanked them, and then left.
