Conceptual Ability, Omniscience

"Uncle Shan Hu, it's not dark yet. It should be fine to go up the mountain for a bit!"

"That's right, Brother Shan Hu, if we go up the mountain now, we should be able to come back before dark!"

As Shan Hu led the people away, just as they left the small courtyard, some villagers couldn't help but speak up.

People only ever care about themselves, not others, especially when survival is extremely difficult. In their eyes, since it wasn't completely dark yet, it was acceptable for Chen Xuan to go up the mountain at this moment.

"Shut up!"

"Going up the mountain now, do you want Er Gou to die on the mountain?"

Shan Hu snorted coldly, his eyes instantly fixed on the few people who had spoken.

This immediately scared those who had spoken into silence.

Shan Hu looked at everyone, his expression sighing involuntarily.

After a moment of hesitation, he still spoke.

"The mountain is very dangerous now, more dangerous than before."

"It's already good that someone is willing to go and check for you!"

When Shan Hu spoke, the others nodded. As for whether they truly accepted it, that was not something he could know.

Shan Hu shook his head and then left.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after seeing everyone off.

Chen Xuan also walked back into the small courtyard.

His thoughts couldn't help but turn to his Conceptual Ability.

The reason he agreed was not out of kindness or difficulty, but because it was simply not a problem for him.

Don't forget that his ability was to generate a path simply by setting a goal. The system's ability was omnipotent depending on himself, but its omniscience was an absolute certainty.

For others, they would need to search to determine the situation of the other party, but he didn't need to.

He just needed to use his Conceptual Ability.

Just like at this moment.

His thoughts flowed, and text immediately appeared.

Target: Bring back the fourteen people, including Zhang Shan, who went up the mountain to hunt, alive (to be confirmed)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path One: Within the Ten Thousand Mountains, there is a mountain called Sunset Glow Mountain. On Sunset Glow Mountain, there is a strange flower called the Other Shore Flower. Three thousand meters into the Endless Sea Region, there is an azure lotus called the Creation Azure Lotus. Arrive at Sunset Glow Mountain and the Endless Sea Region within three days, obtain fourteen Other Shore Flowers and the azure lotus. Arrive at the location three thousand steps to the right of the large locust tree on the Back Mountain within seven days, find the remains of the fourteen people, gather their residual spirits with the Other Shore Flowers, and reshape their bodies with the azure lotus. They can be brought back!"

The text appeared.

As expected, the system's ability did not disappoint him.

However, the moment the words appeared, Chen Xuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Good heavens, Ten Thousand Mountains, Other Shore Flower, Endless Sea Region Azure Lotus, good heavens, these things look extremely high-level. According to the usual tropes, these aren't even things he should know at his current stage.

Of course, none of that was important at the moment. Even though the two things were extremely intimidating, Chen Xuan only glanced at them and quickly focused on the words that followed. For him, what was important wasn't that, but the content that came after.

"As expected, they're gone!"

He murmured softly, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Even though he had expected it, after all, it had been three days, and the probability of Zhang Shan and the others being alive was very, very low. But when they were truly dead, it still affected him quite a bit.

Especially Zhang Shan, he had at least followed him and practiced archery for a few days.

For him to be gone just like that made him feel extremely deeply.

He understood even more the bug-like ability of his Conceptual Ability.

Without this Conceptual Ability, if he had gone up the mountain repeatedly, he would probably be several months old by now.

With a sigh, Chen Xuan returned to the small courtyard.

Although this piece of news had slightly affected his mood, the practice continued.

It wasn't until night fell and his mother, Zhang Chunhua, returned that Chen Xuan sent Chen Er Zhuang away.

"Er Gou, Zhang Shan and the others?"

Zhang Chunhua spoke, her expression hesitant. It was clear that she had also received the news at this moment.

"Yes, Uncle Shan Hu and the others came today and asked me to go take a look tomorrow!"

"I promised to go take a look tomorrow!"

Chen Xuan nodded gently.

"Then be careful, don't go too deep!"

Zhang Chunhua hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed before speaking.

She knew that her second son was very opinionated. Since he had agreed at this moment, there was no point in stopping him. She could only softly instruct him.

"I know, Mother!"

"I'm very familiar with the mountain. You see, I even hunted a Wild Boar. Of course, I won't go too far, just look around the Back Mountain!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile, comforting his mother.

Zhang Chunhua nodded.

The night passed without a word.

The morning sun shone down.

Chen Xuan also began to prepare to go into the mountain again.

Although he had confirmed that Zhang Shan and the others were dead, he was originally going up the mountain to hunt today anyway. On one hand, to replenish food, and on the other hand, if hunting Tiger and Leopard was too difficult, Wild Boar was also his best source of income, so he naturally couldn't give it up.

It was a good opportunity to go up the mountain and see if he could collect the remains of Zhang Shan and the others. After all, they were from the same village.

Chen Xuan was willing to extend this bit of humanitarianism when it didn't cause him any trouble.

His gaze fell upon the Conceptual Ability.

Target: Safely hunt a Wild Boar and return today (To be confirmed)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path 1: Ascend the Back Mountain from the left side, proceed straight for two thousand meters. After two hours, a group of Wild Boars will pass by. You must leave after fifteen minutes and return the way you came."

"Path 2: From the location of the large locust tree on the Back Mountain, proceed forward one thousand meters, then turn right for another one thousand meters. There is a valley there. After two hours, there will be three Wild Boars in the valley. Shoot and injure all three with arrows, wait for them to flee, then shoot and injure one of them. Return quickly the way you came after two hours."

"Path 3: Four thousand steps to the right of the large locust tree, there are two Wild Boars. Hunt one, and return the way you came within one hour."

The options appeared. After solidifying the goal as hunting a Wild Boar, the choices had undoubtedly increased significantly.

Chen Xuan scanned through the three options one by one and quickly noticed the third option.

"Four thousand steps to the right of the large locust tree!"

He muttered to himself. Chen Xuan couldn't help but recall the previous path shown by the Conceptual Ability. It seemed the remains of Zhang Shan and others were located about three thousand steps to the right of the large locust tree. This was only a thousand steps more, likely around five hundred meters.

It was perfectly on his way.

Thinking this, he no longer hesitated.

He slung his bow and arrows over his back, brought his simple cart, instructed Xiao Shitou carefully, and headed towards the Back Mountain.

The Back Mountain was as quiet as ever.

As his footsteps entered, only the sound of weeds rubbing against his legs echoed through the jungle.

Chen Xuan's figure, familiar with the path, arrived at the location of the large locust tree.

Then, he began to advance towards his destination.

A distance of three thousand steps was roughly close to two thousand meters. Walking in the jungle was not very fast.

It took him about an hour and a bit to reach his destination.
