Thump!

On one side of the island, a Fishman emerged from the sea, shook his head, and quickly climbed ashore.

The Fishman's name was Ye Long. He had noticed the Ghost Ship a long time ago and secretly followed it.

He followed the Ghost Ship, occasionally climbing aboard to eavesdrop on their conversations, and gradually gleaned some crucial information.

"The Island of the Other Shore, the Golden Trident..."

Ye Long pondered for a moment, then took off his damp clothes, quickly shook off the moisture, and took out a green card from 079's Game Space.

He placed the card on his person, and the card shattered instantly, transforming into a black uniform with an exoskeleton.

This is a one-time item that can be obtained by opening boxes or purchasing within the 079 Game Space.

Individual Exoskeleton Combat Suit.

Ye Long looked around. The island's climate was very hot and dry, and the vegetation was lush.

Of course, there are also many snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

The Hand of the Serpent quickly landed on the island, Adam waved his hand, taking away the Ghost Ship.

The enormous Ghost Ship shrank to the size of a palm.

Ye Long, hiding in the shadows, narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. "The Ghost Ship is their main means of transportation. This is international waters, in a remote location. If I steal the Ghost Ship, they will most likely be trapped here and die."

Swoosh.

Ye Long flashed forward a few meters and began to secretly follow the people of the Hand of the Serpent.

They walked along a beach strewn with pebbles and through a lush rainforest, but they didn't find what they were looking for until nightfall.

Left with no other choice, the Hand of the Serpent had to set up camp on the spot.

They wanted to start a fire, but it seemed like it had just rained, and the leaves were extremely damp and difficult to ignite.

"Tsk, I should have brought some charcoal with me!"

"Aren't there any Ancient Relic that can be used to start a fire?"

"No, how could Ancient Relic from the sea have properties related to fire?"

"Let's set up the tent first, I'll figure out a way to deal with the fire."

The members of the Hand of the Serpent began to busy themselves, with Adam still holding the map and compass.

"Strange, according to the location, we're already very close to the target; we should be able to see it by now..."

Adam put down the map, took out the parchment book from his bag, and turned to page 67.

"Just when everyone was about to collapse, we found the legendary Island of the Other Shore. We headed northwest, crossing rocks and passing through rainforest, and we saw a huge temple."

"At the top of the temple is a figure holding a trident..."

Adam looked around, but saw no sign of the temple.

In the darkness, a figure was watching the parchment book in Adam's hand from a tree.

Ye Long's gaze sharpened. "The Old Days Temple?"

Turning his gaze away, Ye Long began to ponder, "According to what he indicated on the map and what was recorded in the book, he should have seen it by now, but why hasn't he?"

"Is something missing, or something overlooked..." x2

Adam and Ye Long said almost in unison.

Um?

Adam seemed to hear a sound and looked up sharply, only to see the tree above swaying violently.

He thought he heard someone talking just now, but was it just his imagination?

In the woods on the other side, Ye Long hid behind a sloping hill.

"That was close. There were over a hundred people in total, and more than twenty of them had Ancient Relic. Their specific uses were unclear, so it's best not to act rashly."

Several days passed in a row.

Ye Long and his Hand of the Serpent searched the island for several days without finding anything.

The Island of the Other Shore is very large, but they have searched it inside and out. If there really was a temple, how could they not see even a trace of it?

The search over the past few days has left everyone exhausted.

The damp environment, coupled with countless mosquitoes and the lack of fire, meant that the group hadn't had a single good night's sleep since landing on the island.

Gradually, some people began to break down, and some of them experienced mental breakdowns.

Adam was also very haggard. He leaned against a tree with bloodshot eyes, looking at the parchment book over and over again.

"What exactly was missed... Could the Old Days Temple on the Island of the Other Shore have been nothing but a hoax?"

Just then, a man in black robes suddenly walked over.

The man in black robes smelled strongly of fish, but Adam's tense state left him no time to care about that.

The man in black robes walked over, snatched the parchment book, and quickly began to read it.

Adam was stunned for a moment, "You..."

The man in black didn't speak. He quickly found a page and began to slide his finger rapidly across the text.

"We thought we were going to die. When we saw the Island of the Other Shore, everyone was devastated. For a moment, we thought we were hallucinating..."

The man in black robes then turned the page and found another page.

"After passing through the rainforest, we saw a huge temple... but only I saw it. They said I was crazy. I'm not crazy, there really is a huge temple there!"

Ye Long closed the book and tossed the parchment book directly to Adam.

He simply couldn't take it anymore; not to mention the people with the Hand of the Serpent, even his own mind was on the verge of collapse.

He killed a member of the Hand of the Serpent, changed into his clothes, and came to examine the contents of the parchment book himself.

By confirming the story between the two individuals, he found a common ground.

Both Balroza and Kalen found the Old Days Temple, and what they had in common was that they were both on the verge of mental collapse when they found it.

Ye Long walked forward quickly, while simultaneously brandishing his claws and scratching himself, constantly stimulating himself with pain.

His wounds were cut open and healed, healed and cut open again!

Waves of pain washed over him, making Ye Long hesitant to continue, but he gritted his teeth and went ahead with it!

"Well!"

Sweat began to pour from Ye Long's forehead. His consciousness was about to be swallowed by the pain. His eyes began to glaze over, and his steps slowed down.

Soon after, a chilling, bone-chilling gust of air suddenly blew in my face!

The cold air instantly stopped Ye Long from self-harming.

He looked ahead and saw an ancient and enormous temple standing prominently before him!

The temple was enormous, resembling a giant pyramid, covered in moss, with a long staircase leading to it.

At the top of the temple stands a golden statue covered in moss, holding a Golden Trident in a throwing posture.

Ye Long walked forward blankly, his mind momentarily blank.

His guess was correct.

Ye Long stumbled up the stairs, his consciousness fading with each step.

Suddenly, he heard a series of strange murmurs, or rather, the whispers of something.

Adam and the others caught up at this moment, but what they saw before them was hard to believe.

A figure could be seen walking step by step, steadily ascending into the sky!

What's this?

Can you step on your right foot with your left foot and fly to the sky?

Adam took a few steps forward, but he touched nothing; he could neither see the enormous temple nor touch anything substantial!

"Could it be..."
