Long Journey

The mention of night in the replies further boosted the post's popularity.

As a newly risen, mysterious powerhouse, Night's every appearance stirs up a heated discussion on the forums. Will Night participate in this rare, top-tier (Rank A) quest?

"Of course! The night fears no challenge!"

The author of this comment is Wei Zhentian. When Luo Jun saw this ID, he wasn't surprised at all.

Others also voiced their opinions. Some said that the rewards for such Large-Scale Confrontation Mission are very generous, and a master like Ye would have no reason to give up; others said that Ye's current performance mainly relies on his strong one-on-one combat abilities, and he might not be good at such large-scale missions; of course, someone immediately countered that even large-scale missions involve only a few dozen or a hundred people fighting each other, and as long as one is strong enough, it is enough to turn the tide of battle...

In short, everyone was talking at once, mostly about unfounded guesses, with almost no real analysis of the mission. Luo Jun got bored after a while, exited the thread, searched for a bit, but found nothing of substance, so he shook his head.

Anyway, there are still three days left to register. I guess by tomorrow or the day after, these experts who intend to participate will be unable to hold back any longer and will start discussing some valuable information.

As he was scrolling, Luo Jun suddenly caught a glimpse of a message posted by the Wildlands Hunter Guild.

As the second largest organization in the country after the Yuan Cultivation Society, the Wildlands Hunter Guild often posts various messages on the forum. However, this time, unlike usual, the title posted by the Wildlands Hunter Guild was divided into two lines, and the first character of the two lines, when put together, formed a word.

Soaring Clouds!

The Ling Family is the main family of the Wildlands Hunter Guild, so it's perfectly normal for the character "Ling" to appear in the guild's official title. "Yun" is also a commonly used character, so this acrostic doesn't seem special to outsiders, and they would just consider it a coincidence at most.

But Luo Jun frowned.

This was the pre-arranged code between him and the Wildlands Hunter Guild. Seeing this meant that they had completed the forging of the River-Sinking Stone Hammer and were ready to deliver it!

Oh right, almost four months have passed in the blink of an eye. Luo Jun has been through so much during this time that he's almost forgotten about it. Ling Kai must be frantic with worry because he can't reach him, right?

If you do the math, these two days happen to be the opening days of [Savage Wilderness]. Both the selection process and the Chaos Mission are a few days away, so why not take this opportunity to go to Lingyun Island?

Having acquired suitable weapons will undoubtedly be a significant asset in this Large Recruitment Mission.

With that thought in mind, Luo Jun left the dormitory and contacted Ailongtan in his mind, telling him that he was going out for the next two days and asking him to play the part well at school.

As for how to get there... Luo Jun certainly can't fly right now, otherwise it would be really hard to explain if people found out that he bought a ticket to the Eastern Sea at this critical juncture and then flew back a couple of days later.

After much deliberation, Luo Jun decided to go alone.

After leaving the academy, he found a secluded spot, took out his Assassin's Cloak, put it on, and entered a state of complete invisibility. Then, in this state, he left Ningdong without anyone noticing.

Ningdong City is located northeast of Zhendan, about 300 kilometers from the nearest sea. With Luo Jun's current walking speed, 300 kilometers is just over an hour's journey.

Standing on the beach outside a secluded fishing village, Luo Jun faced the sea and looked southeast.

According to the map, Lingyun Island is located more than 1,000 kilometers away in the sea.

Swimming across? That's not impossible. But swimming speed in water is definitely much slower than running on land. That's over a thousand kilometers; it would probably take Luo Jun a whole day and night to swim there...

Luo Jun raised his hand and touched his wristwatch. The Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse appeared beside him. Luo Jun swung himself onto it and rode off at full speed toward the sea!

As they approached the sea, the hooves of the Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse began to deform, splitting and expanding at the bottom, resembling camel toes, increasing their contact area with the ground!

Wow!

As the warhorse leaped onto the sea, water splashed everywhere and made a loud noise, but the heavy warhorse carrying Luo Jun did not sink into the water. Instead, it rode the waves and galloped away on the sea!

Theoretically, animals can run on water if they are fast enough and powerful enough. The speed of the Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse far exceeds that of ordinary land animals. With its four hooves on the sea surface, at extremely high speeds, the horse gallops at a speed faster than a top-class speedboat, even before its hooves touch the water!

However, since the Assassin's Cloak's invisibility couldn't cover such a large vehicle, only Luo Jun, mounted on horseback, remained invisible. From a distance, it appeared as just a Mechanical Warhorse galloping across the sea.

With the powerful strides of the Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse, the water surface and the hard concrete ground were not much different. The flat sea was simply the most suitable venue for horse racing, and they quickly accelerated to their top speed!

Reaching speeds of nearly 300 kilometers per hour, it's like a waterborne warhorse, comparable to a high-speed train!

What's even more impressive is that this horse is tireless; as long as there's a continuous supply of energy, it can run endlessly!

Of course, theoretically Luo Jun could do the same thing on his own two feet, but firstly, it wouldn't be as fast as Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse, and secondly, riding a horse isn't as tiring...

Riding his Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse, Luo Jun galloped across the water for four or five hours, finally catching a glimpse of the outline of Lingyun Island in the distance, and even seeing the fleet of ships patrolling around the island.

The error-free version can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+shuba is the first site to publish this novel.

In theory, Lingyun Island is only allowed to use its own passenger ships to transport passengers; other vessels are strictly prohibited from approaching. However, while such patrols are effective against ordinary people, powerful Cultivators like Luo Jun can still find ways to break through their defenses.

For example, when Luo Jun saw the island in the distance, he put away his Longitudinal and Horizontal Warhorse and submerged himself underwater, swimming nimbly towards the island like a fish.

Of course, the Wildlands Hunter Guild couldn't ignore the underwater world either. In addition to the patrol boats on the surface, there were many Probing Device installed in the nearby waters, both on the surface and underwater. Once an unidentified object was detected attempting to cross the waters, an alarm would be triggered.

This Probing Device, similar to an infrared generator, forms an invisible net around the island, which no one can penetrate.

However, what others see as intangible is tangible in Luo Jun's eyes. The bonus from his Perception Over Hundred allows him to see the exact location of the detection net. When it gets close, he can skillfully avoid it. If the blockade is too tight and there is no way to avoid it, he can activate the Instant Step Boots to teleport directly there.

In short, after some maneuvering, Luo Jun finally landed on a secluded beach on Lingyun Island. He slipped into the woods, changed into civilian clothes, put on the Midnight Mask, and headed towards the town.
