Waiting for Them to Walk Right into the Trap

Seeing that everything was alright, the two crew members left, reminding them before they left that a typhoon was coming and they shouldn't stay on the deck for too long.

"Hello, my name is Yi Kong."

The speaker was a blond man who looked quite young. He had the appearance of a tough guy from Dragon Nation, except that he had a pair of green eyes, which weren't strange at all, but rather as beautiful as sapphires.

"Jiu Chen, the Black Sea is so dangerous, why did you come alone? And in such a small boat, what if you accidentally capsized and became one of those Nether?" Yi Kong, clearly an E person, struck up a conversation with Xiao Fan in a very familiar manner.

From him, Xiao Fan gleaned a crucial piece of information.

Falling into the Black Sea will turn you into the Nether.

In other words, the Nether he encountered before were all people who had fallen into the sea.

So the question is, given how dangerous the Black Sea is, why would anyone still go there?

This ship is so big; it could easily carry several hundred people. What is the purpose of these people coming to the Black Sea?

Xiao Fan suddenly thought of a place.

Island of Light!

Are these people here to land on Island of Light?

Is there treasure on Island of Light?

Xiao Fan thought of that island filled with deathly aura; he hadn't found anything special about it in the previous secret realm.

"I'm an explorer, you know. The Black Sea is a dangerous place, and it's our favorite place to go," Xiao Fan casually made up an identity.

To everyone's surprise, Yi Kong's eyes lit up. "An explorer? That's fantastic! My childhood dream was to become an explorer when I grew up, but my family didn't approve. Jiu Chen, can you tell me about your adventures?"

Xiao Fan: "It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow. Besides, the typhoon is probably coming soon."

Seeing the waves growing larger, Yi Kong could only nod in agreement. "Then I'll take you to the cabin to rest first, and we'll talk about your adventures tomorrow."

Xiao Fan forced a smile; he had no choice but to agree.

The ship was indeed very large. Xiao Fan followed Yi Kong up to the second floor.

"Your Grand Prince, you're back. It's so late, you should rest."

As soon as the two went upstairs, a servant-like man came up to them and greeted Yi Kong respectfully.

"A prince?" Xiao Fan was startled, never expecting Yi Kong to be a prince.

If the character he chose in the storyline was the Queen, then wouldn't that make him Yi Kong's mother?

What a pity.

"This is a friend I just made, the explorer Jiu Chen. Xiao Wang, arrange a room for Jiu Chen," Yi Kong instructed.

"Yes, Your Grand Prince." The Xiao Wang turned to Xiao Fan and nodded. "Mr. Jiu Chen, please follow me."

"Jiu Chen, I want to hear your adventure stories tomorrow."

Yi Kong waved to Xiao Fan.

For some reason, Xiao Fan felt that Yi Kong must have sensed something.

This person may not be as warm and cheerful as they appear.

Xiao Fan nodded to him without saying anything, then turned and followed behind the servant Xiao Wang.

"Our Grand Prince has booked the entire floor. There are plenty of empty rooms. Mr. Jiu Chen, what kind of room would you like?"

Seeing how polite and kind Xiao Wang Yi Kong was to Xiao Fan, Xiao Wang offered to let him choose the room.

Finally, Xiao Fan chose a room close to the cabin.

This location is safer for him than being near the sea.

The cabin facilities were decent, much better than Xiao Fan had imagined.

He locked the door, but still felt uneasy, so he picked up the oil lamp to feel a little better.

The sixth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.

No matter how angry Shen Beijun was, it was useless. Xiao Fan had already reached the tenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, a place they had never even heard of. If they didn't do something, the Zone 18 would win first place in this Myriad Phenomena Platform competition.

In the end, it was only after Chen Xuewei's persuasion that Shen Beijun stopped losing his temper.

The ten-man team hunted down several Fierce Beasts.

They also discovered that there was no fixed Beast Zone on the sixth floor; in other words, the entire sixth floor was an area where Fierce Beast beasts roamed.

However, everyone in Zone 1 is already level 15, so dealing with level 11-12 Fierce Beast on the sixth floor is quite easy, as long as they don't encounter a large group of Fierce Beast.

In less than half a day, everyone was covered in animal skins.

Although it was ugly and smelly, at least my body wasn't so cold anymore.

"The Myriad Phenomena Tower Trials really requires going to the higher levels; the Points accumulate that fast!"

Qin Mumu flipped through the Leaderboard. Although he hadn't caught up with the people in Zone 18 yet, it was much better than before when he was only a fraction of their height.

At least it's not ugly.

"You talk too much?" Shen Beijun's sinister voice rang out.

Qin Mumu:...

"Is he crazy?! I didn't even talk to him, is he deliberately insulting me?! No wonder Shen Tao's stepson is more favored than him, what an idiot! What's with this pretentious big brother act?"

Qin Mumu has completely fallen for Shen Beijun; even though he is a direct descendant of the Shen Family, she no longer looks down on him!

After being kicked, Shen Jiangyun felt uncomfortable and was too lazy to flatter Shen Beijun anymore.

Although he was from a collateral branch of the Shen Family, he had never suffered such injustice since childhood.

"Xue Wei, what do we do now?" Shen Beijun's gaze fell on Chen Xuewei.

Chen Xuewei's original idea was that since those people in Zone 18 wouldn't go to the upper levels, they would definitely hunt Fierce Beast on the sixth level to earn Points.

As long as they find the Beast Zone on the sixth floor, they will definitely encounter the people from the Eighteenth Floor.

Who knew that the rules on the sixth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower had changed, and the Fierce Beast no longer had fixed areas.

That would make finding the person more difficult.

"Young Master Shen, those people from Zone 18 will stay on the sixth floor until the competition ends, and they'll definitely find a fixed cave to hide in. We can look for a cave."

"Xue Wei is so clever. Then you lead us to find it."

Chen Xuewei:...

Based on previous patterns, Chen Xuewei knew the location of the seventh-floor entrance.

She guessed that the people from Zone 18 would find a cave to live in nearby after coming down from the seventh floor, so she led the people from Zone 1 in that direction.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuewei actually found Qin Muyu and the others' cave.

"This cave must be their temporary shelter."

The cave was lined with animal hides, and the entrance was half-sealed, clearly for wind protection.

"I have to admit, this woman, though she's putting on an act, does have some skills; at least she's better than that brainless Shen Beijun."

Qin Mumu was quite surprised to see that Chen Xuewei had found the residence of the contestant from Zone 18 so quickly.

It's really not easy to do that.

"As expected, anyone who can get into Zone 1 is no ordinary person, except for that idiot Shen Beijun."

"Haha, we finally found them! That's great! Vivi, you deserve all the credit!"

Chen Xuewei didn't say anything more; she just wanted to save her parents.

The cave's furnishings clearly indicate that it was inhabited.

"Those guys from Zone 18 must be out hunting. We'll just wait here and wait for them to come to us!"

After traveling for so long, the contestants from Zone 1 were exhausted. Seeing that the cave had everything they needed, they sat down on the animal hides to rest and wait for the people from Zone 18 to return.
