Chen Lin unfurled his Soul Wings and cautiously tried flying in different directions.
Then he discovered something.
Whenever he left the island's bounds, an invisible barrier appeared, but he could pass through it with his three-color Road Guide.
This was the first level of Road Guide restrictions.
As for the second Road Guide Barrier, he flew more than a hundred li out without encountering it.
That put Chen Lin considerably more at ease.
Past experience suggested that departure missions in Nightmare Realm scenarios always lay within the accessible area, and that impossible missions would never appear. But this scenario was not normal, so he could not judge it by experience.
Especially since it was a scenario corresponding to the Void Realm.
The ones he knew about, as well as the two he had personally entered, had all been far from normal.
So even with Merit Coins, he had to exercise caution upon caution.
After flying a wide circuit,
Chen Lin returned to the original small island, his brows slightly furrowed.
This stretch of sea was vast, its edges nowhere in sight, and there was nothing particularly remarkable about it.
There was only one anomaly.
There were many islands scattered across the sea.
These islands were all "long and slender," like pillars driven into the sea at varying depths.
After pondering for a while,
Chen Lin tried going beneath the surface.
He wanted to see what the islands looked like underwater and determine whether any marine life existed.
An incense stick's worth of time later,
The water rippled, and Chen Lin leaped out of the sea, holding a crab.
A green crab.
He flew onto the island and dissected it.
After cutting it apart, he confirmed that, aside from its unusual color, the crab was no different from an ordinary one.
