"Alright! Now that you've recovered 30% of your strength, you should be able to protect yourself here."
As he spoke, Fan Jing took out an ancient-looking map from his storage ring. The map had rough regional divisions marked on it, but most of the areas were blank.
"Judging from the texture of the soil here, we are most likely in a desolate area in the north, and the things I lost back then are located here."
Fan Jing pointed to a valley on the map, with a Xiaoxiao Bagua (Eight Trigrams) symbol on it.
"I can't pinpoint our exact location yet, only our general direction. With more landmarks, I'll naturally find our destination."
Once we reach our destination, I will tell you the details of what we are looking for.
Chen Mu nodded upon hearing this. He wasn't in a hurry to find out what Fan Jing was looking for; he just wanted to complete the mission.
"Alright, let's set off now!"
Fan Jing put away the map, leaped up, and flew off in a chosen direction.
Chen Mu followed closely behind Fan Jing, moving forward with him.
The two had been flying for a short while when Chen Mu suddenly spoke up to remind them.
"Watch out! A ferocious beast is coming from the east."
Fan Jing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but the next second, he realized that a ferocious beast was indeed approaching.
"Let's go, don't get entangled with them!"
The native creatures in the Tomb of the Gods are extremely troublesome, and most of them carry deadly poisons. Killing them would not yield much of a valuable reward, so Fan Jing and Chen Mu immediately sped up their escape.
Whoosh whoosh!
Even after pushing themselves to their maximum speed, the two were still faster than the pursuing beast, and it took them about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to finally shake it off.
" Chen Mu, how far can your detection range extend?"
"It's about three kilometers. If we go any further, we might be discovered by the enemy."
"Understood! My detection range is a bit smaller than yours, so it seems you're more suitable than me for the mission of bypassing the enemy."
"How about you go ahead and I'll guide you?"
Before entering the Tomb of the Gods, Fan Jing thought that Chen Mu, given his age, should have just entered the Emperor Level, so he still had a bit of arrogance towards him.
However, judging from the various methods Chen Mu displayed after entering this plane, he realized that Chen Mu's strength was definitely no less than his own, so his attitude became much more humble.
"Okay, let's go!"
Chen Mu did not refuse; he also wanted to reach the destination as soon as possible to complete the mission.
The two continued forward, and after a short while, Chen Mu found himself at the edge of a cliff, with a bottomless abyss of darkness below.
"We need to fly over here! In the ancient war between the gods, this continent was divided into many pieces."
"If we just keep flying forward, we'll reach another landmass."
Fan Jing gave a brief introduction to the environment here.
Chen Mu surveyed the area below the cliff for a while, then continued forward without delay.
The two continued flying forward. There was no sun or moon here, and strange colors would occasionally flash across the sky, but they were completely irregular. Ordinary people would have no idea how long they had been flying.
However, Chen Mu's AI had a timer, so he clearly knew how much time he had spent in this dimension.
Thirty-two hours after Chen Mu arrived in this plane, he finally reached another landmass.
The journey across the landmass was not without its challenges. They were nearly sucked into a spatial rift and encountered attacks from Void Beasts, which were adept at concealing themselves within space. Chen Mu almost suffered losses several times.
The new landmass is home to many plants, but these plants are not to be trifled with; they are all ferocious and highly poisonous. They not only hunt ferocious beasts but also kill other plants to obtain nutrients.
"This is the Blood-Red Mountain Range, much more dangerous than where we came from. We need to be careful."
After entering the new landmass, Fan Jing gave them some special instructions.
Even if Fan Jing hadn't warned him, Chen Mu knew this place was dangerous, because there was no natural food or energy source in this plane. The only way for the creatures here to survive was to hunt other creatures.
With so many creatures existing here, under the law of natural selection, none of them are easy to deal with.
"Reconnaissance puppet, come out."
Just then, Chen Mu stretched out his hand, and dozens of tiny puppets flew out and scattered in all directions.
"Your puppet is usable so quickly?"
Although they already knew that Chen Mu's localized Rune Modification technology was very strong, they were still shocked for a moment. After all, Chen Mu had only been in this world for less than two days, and they had been traveling the whole time.
"It's mostly fine now. Some auxiliary functions are out of order, but the main functions are working perfectly."
Under Chen Mu's control, he quickly explored the area within dozens of kilometers around him. Since the puppets were made of metal and had no flesh and blood, the native creatures generally wouldn't attack them. This was also an important reason why Fan Jing invited Chen Mu to help him find the item.
"Come on! Follow me."
Based on the information transmitted by the reconnaissance puppet, Chen Mu advanced by skirting around the ferocious native creatures. Although the pace of progress was much slower than before, they felt it was worthwhile.
This is no longer the desolate land they were before. Without the reconnaissance golem, dealing with these native creatures would not only be dangerous for the two of them, but their progress would also be much slower.
With the reconnaissance puppets around, their advance became much safer, and finally, seventy-eight hours after Chen Mu entered this plane, they arrived at their destination.
"What I lost is in this valley."
This valley must have once been protected by a powerful array. Although the array is now damaged, the remaining runic power has turned this place into a deadly wasteland.
Fan Jing was in a good mood because in his original description to Chen Mu, he had deliberately downplayed the danger of this place. In the past, it was usually extremely difficult for him to reach this valley, and he would even suffer some degree of injury.
He never expected that, under Chen Mu's guidance, they would arrive here so easily. He now admires Chen Mu immensely.
Following Fan Jing's guidance, Chen Mu carefully examined the valley.
This valley does indeed bear traces of an array, and it is an array related to the principles of the Eight Trigrams. Most of the remaining runic power here is also related to the Eight Trigrams.
