Okay, Okay, I’ll Take the Credit, Right? - Chapter 188

Chapter 188 A strange world

 Entering the wilderness, the geology on the west side seems to be different from that on the east side.

The trees here are shorter, and their leaves are not broad-leaf, but mostly needle-leaf.

 Follow the map and walk all the way to the middle of the wilderness.

 When the map was drawn, this area should still be in human hands.

 Having fallen into the hands of monsters for many years, many beautiful things have changed.

Su Chen tried his best to use mountains, lakes and rivers as signs of search.

 It has been more than two hours since we entered the wilderness at noon.

Su Chen found the river marked on the map.

 However, there are obvious signs that the river has changed its course, and it is no longer the same direction as before.

 Using the [Monster Hunting Expert] to avoid various monsters, Su Chen searched for the original direction of the river.

 Where the river flows out, there are more sand and stones.

  And the soil underneath is more likely to grow some low shrubs and weeds.

 After so many years, the soil quality may have changed.

 But now Su Chen can only rely on this method to find it.

As the sky gradually darkened, Su Chen finally found a place that looked like the site of an old river.

 After confirming the sign, follow the direction on the map and walk to the southwest.

Before dark, Su Chen found the location shown on the map.

This place is located deep in the wilderness. It would be extremely difficult to find it without a map prompt.

Approaching it, Su Chen took a closer look at the surrounding environment.

 It is surrounded by dense trees on all sides, almost blocking all external sight.

Going through these trees and walking into the middle, you can see a completely different look.

The middle is bare, not a single tree has grown.

 A little green, just some low weeds.

 It’s like a clearing was cut out in a dense forest.

The stone tablet mentioned by Shang Xuanzhen also stands among them, which is extremely conspicuous.

Approaching the open space, Su Chen immediately felt something mysterious here.

There seems to be a pressure that cannot be shaken off, which has been pressing on my shoulders.

  I feel an invisible turbulence around me.

 The turbulent flow disturbs people’s soul. As long as they come here, the whole person seems to become a little upset.

 No wonder Master Shangxuan said that if you practice meditation here, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

It is difficult to meditate here.

Su Chen activated the [Perseverance] Destiny to gradually adapt to the environment here.

 Then he walked to the stone tablet and started reading.

When Master Shangxuan got this map, he thought it was a secret technique left by the saint.

 Throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, countless people wanted to claim this treasure.

But even after obtaining the map, many secrets and mechanisms that experts have been asking for are still hidden in it and have not been exposed to the light of day.

 Before coming, Master Shangxuan reminded Su Chen.

 Let Su Chen not waste too much time delving into the contents of this stone tablet.

 But after seeing the content on the stone tablet, Su Chen felt somewhat confident.

 Those incomprehensible small characters above feel less obscure than what I got from the secret wilderness.

Thinking of this, Su Chen activated [Bachelor] Destiny.

 Set the time within one day.

　　Since I had not understood the contents of this stone tablet for twelve hours, I stopped being attached and began to practice meditation.

The sky has gradually darkened, and [Monster Hunting Expert]’s destiny is activated, so pay attention to the movements of monsters around you.

What surprised Su Chen was that these monsters were all walking around this area.

 They can sense the weirdness here and don’t go near it at all.

 At night, Su Chen did not rest.

 Use the faint light and continue to delve into its meaning.

  After activating 【Bachelor】Destiny and looking at this stone tablet, Su Chen indeed had a lot more ideas.

Even if you can read the words on the stone tablet, you cannot immediately understand its meaning. Reading through the text, the stone tablet is actually a sacrificial text.

 But this memorial is a bit strange. It was written by the author of the memorial to himself.

The content of the memorial article talks about the regrets and joys of the author’s life, lamenting that his youth is gone and it is difficult to make up for the shortcomings in his heart.

 At this point, it is far from being able to see the mystery.

 Su Chen saw the author’s reminder in this memorial article.

 In this sacrificial article, some guidance is given, which seems to be the guidance of seeking the most precious treasure of the saint.

Following the instructions on the stele, Su Chen walked to the left side of the stele.

 Cut down several trees from the surrounding area and nail them into the ground according to a certain layout.

  Let these trees show a certain formation.

 At almost midnight, there was already some light coming out of the sky.

 After waiting for a while, several trees suddenly collapsed.

 On the other side of the stone monument, a pit was exposed.

Step forward and observe, there seems to be an extremely long tunnel under the pothole.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Chen was sure that he had deciphered the content recorded on the stone tablet.

 Others can even understand the content of the stone tablet.

 It is also necessary to understand the hidden guidance in its sacrificial texts before we can find a way to open the corridor.

 It’s no wonder that both Master Shangxuan and Gu Feng have been here, but neither of them has cracked the secret.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen jumped into it.

 The hole on his head was sealed again after he stepped on the floor of the corridor.

 Remember what Elder Shangxuan said that when he fought for this map, he was trying to obtain the sage’s secret skills.

The scene in front of me seems to have something to do with the agency.

How can ordinary people build such an exquisite and mysterious mechanism?

 Activating the destiny of [Monster Hunting Expert], Su Chen tried to keep himself alert as much as possible.

There is no light in the corridor. Light the fire to shine some light.

This corridor seems to be very long.

After discovering that there was no danger, Su Chen accelerated his pace.

After walking for a while, the corridor showed a slope.

Su Chen immediately started sliding along the corridor, sliding up and down continuously for nearly an hour.

After landing on a flat ground and walking for another two hours, Su Chen faintly saw some light appearing in the distance.

 The speed was faster, and when I got closer, I found a small hole.

 In front of the cave entrance, a large cluster of lush shrubs blocks the entrance.

 It’s no wonder that only a little light can be seen.

Peering out from the hole, there is another vast world in front of you.

 Wandering around in the corridor, Su Chen didn’t even know where he was.

 Where this place is located on the mainland, I have no idea at all.

 But there is a big difference between this place and the outside world.

 After coming out of the corridor, I can still feel an irresistible pressure that reaches all the way to my shoulders.

The disturbing turbulence is still there.

 It seems that the pressure just at the location of the stone monument was transmitted from here.

Su Chen’s current location is on a cliff.

 In the wilderness, there is no human habitation at all.

 Coupled with the cover of those shrubs, the entrance of the cave is even more hidden.

 Using “Walking Cloud Steps” to fall from the cliff, Su Chen began to explore this world.

Su Chen guessed that his location should be further south in this wilderness.

 There is a high probability that it will be in the deepest parts of the wilderness.

 Thinking in my heart, but these are just my guesses.

 While walking, Su Chen discovered a river.

If there are monsters or other people in this area, there is a high probability that they will be built on the river.
