Cheng Lin stood on the beach and looked eastward. There was no island at all visible on the sea.
Could it be that this island is far, far away?
But in this case...
“How many days do I have to swim to get there?”
Cheng Lin was a little skeptical, but after hesitating for a long time, he felt that the program would most likely not issue such a stupid task, and there might be something fishy in it.
"thump!"
Cheng Lin gritted his teeth, jumped into the sea, and headed eastward with a splash.
…
Cheng Lin's water skills were average and he wasn't good at swimming, so he moved forward very slowly. After swimming for an hour, when he was getting impatient, he looked up and suddenly found a heavy fog on the sea in front of him.
fog?
Cheng Lin was shocked. He remembered that he had never seen it before. The fog was very thick and spread on the sea, blocking the view ahead. If Cheng Lin went further, he would enter the scope of the fog.
This was obviously not a normal phenomenon. After taking a closer look, Cheng Lin suddenly realized that this scene looked familiar.
"I remember three hundred years ago, when Master He ascended, there was such a mist in the sea. According to the farmers, the place where the mist appeared seemed to be a place called Wutong Fairy Island. It was probably this He
The sect founded by Zhenren, could it be said that this is the island I am looking for?"
Cheng Lin thought about it and felt that it was probably right.
"From this point of view, the fog should be playing a role in hiding traces. Unless you get close to a certain distance, you will not be able to see this traceless fairy island at all."
Nodding in his mind, he exhaled a breath, quickly splashed in the water, swam forward, and plunged into the thick fog.
He couldn't tell the direction in the thick fog, but probably because he was used to walking in the fog in the projection of the altar, Cheng Lin almost didn't deviate from the direction by relying on his senses.
After swimming for another ten minutes, he finally saw the black island itself in the thick fog.
Cheng Lin couldn't help but feel refreshed. He sped forward, and soon, he finally climbed onto the land.
"Huh, it counts."
Cheng Lin let out a breath. Despite his physical fitness as a practitioner, he was still a little tired after swimming for so long.
I looked down at my body and saw that my clothes were soaked through.
With a wry smile, Cheng Lin turned around and held the door handle of the safe house, opened the door, and walked into the safe house.
After a while, Cheng Lin walked out of the door again wearing new dry clothes.
[Congratulations on completing the task (1)]
[Mission (Part 2): You have come to this mysterious land lost in the long river of history. You don’t know what the situation is like on this island. You decide to explore carefully and gradually go deeper into it]
Information comes to mind.
Cheng Lin was not surprised at all, he looked around at the island.
The fog on the island is very light, almost just a thin layer floating on it, which does not affect the visibility.
The entire island is so large that you can't even see the end of it at a glance.
There are very few plants on the beach, and there are more and more plants as you go inward. The innermost part is lush and green, and there seems to be valleys and woods.
Cheng Lin was surprised to see an extremely thick cloud pillar rising from a valley in the center of the island, reaching into the sky.
Then it spreads and becomes a cloud covering the sky of the entire island.
"Is the fog surrounding the island actually generated from the center of the island?"
Cheng Lin was a little surprised.
If we want to compare the scenery in front of us, it is probably equivalent to a mushroom cloud blooming in the middle of the island.
"It doesn't look like it was formed naturally, it should be man-made."
Cheng Lin judged.
However, it was still too far from the beach, and Cheng Lin felt that he would not be able to successfully explore it for a while.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the surrounding beach.
The beach is relatively deserted, except for the sand, which is just broken stones, and some small green plants growing among the stones.
Cheng Lin carefully walked along the beach, and after walking a few hundred meters, he finally noticed something unusual.
[You found a broken dock]
When Cheng Lin saw the dock, information automatically appeared in his mind.
Before this information appeared, Cheng Lin didn't even recognize it as a dock.
It was just a sunken coastline, with a few strange things made of stones on the ground, and some rotten wood that was washed away by the sea.
It looks very ancient.
"A broken dock?"
Cheng Lin thought deeply.
I walked over and took a few glances, but found nothing. Time had removed all traces, especially since the pier was close to the seaside, so it was difficult for anything to remain.
"No! There is something!"
Cheng Lin was planning to leave this damaged dock and continue walking forward.
Suddenly, under the sun, something reflected a bright light from a certain stone crevice, which caught his attention.
[You were about to leave, but were suddenly attracted by a reflection. You decided to walk over to see what it was]
[You picked up a piece of metal]
[Metal fragments: one of the fragments scattered after a low-level spiritual weapon (sword) is broken]
…
Cheng Lin squatted on the ground, rubbing his fingers against the metal fragment that was about one-sixth the size of a palm. Well, according to the instructions given in the program, this fragment seemed to come from a sword.
To be precise, it was one of the broken fragments of a sword rated as a "low-level spiritual weapon".
"This is interesting... why are there fragments of a sword here?
This pier has obviously been damaged for a long time, and this fragment does not look like it was newly broken. It should have a long history.
If it were ordinary metal, it would have corroded and rusted long ago, but these are fragments of low-level spiritual weapons, so they are still bright...
However, although I don’t know what this low-level spiritual weapon is,
But even if it is an ordinary iron sword, it is not easy to break it into pieces..."
Cheng Lin looked at the fragment with deep doubts in his heart.
What kind of force can break a sword into pieces?
Spiritual weapon... Reminiscent of the historical changes that I have seen before, this island should be the Immortal Island without a Trace of the Cultivation Sect hundreds of years ago. In today's era, the sect has disappeared. This spiritual weapon may have come from hundreds of years ago.
The Age of Cultivation, well, but that’s not necessarily the case, more clues are needed.
Cheng Lin searched carefully around the stone crevice where the fragment was located, and he actually picked up something new.
[You picked up a bone]
[Bone: Human (cultivation) skeleton]
Cheng Lin: "..."
He resisted the idea of throwing away the bone and looked at it carefully several times. Unfortunately, it was really just an ordinary bone.
It was almost rotten. Cheng Lin played with it a few times and it was almost broken into powder.
"interesting."
Cheng Lin stood up and threw away the human bones.
Keep moving forward.
He quickly left the beach and entered the land area.
After walking only a few hundred meters, he suddenly found a new object on the ground.
He picked up the copper bowl, which was full of cracks and chips, like a broken bowl, and remained silent.
This is still a low-level spiritual weapon. The difference is that compared to the fragments of the sword, the integrity of this bowl is obviously slightly better. At least it can still be seen as a bowl.
So, besides the fragments, Cheng Lin's harvest also included a broken bowl.
However, Cheng Lin only glanced at it for a few times and then looked at the ground again.
In the rotting soil, a more complete bone remained.
Without any program prompts, Cheng Lin knew what kind of creature it belonged to. It was clearly a human skull.
It looks like it has been around for many years, or it may have been severely damaged by wind and rain.
All in all, not very solid.
"Click."
Cheng Lin stepped on it tentatively, and his skull was shattered.
"……Feel sorry."
Cheng Lin said something and continued to move forward.
