Surprisingly, the city guards didn't chase too far. In fact, they couldn't even catch up to a few people. After running for a while, they realized that the city guards didn't chase after them anymore. They probably gave up.
"I don't think they are chasing us anymore," Kassanna said.
"They gave up so quickly …" The Jade Emperor turned around and said, "Why?"
"Because the west side of Vayarema is a desert. It is almost impossible to pass through it, so they don't have to spend a lot of effort to search for us. They just have to wait for us to return. There are cities on the other three sides, and there are city guards there as well. It is very difficult to survive in the wilderness, "Kassanna said.
"The Goddess's temple is also in the desert?" The Jade Emperor asked.
"Yes, a thousand years ago, it was also a piece of green land. But now, it has become a desert. This is the result of taking too much from nature. In the end, the ones who will be punished are us," Kassanna said.
The topic was a little heavy, and everyone fell silent. Red Moon was the first to react. She clapped her hands and said, "Anyway, let's finish the quest first. Otherwise, we won't have enough time."
"Yeah, we don't have much time to waste," Hongyan said as she took a sip of water. Kassanna's father is still waiting for us to rescue him.
The group immediately walked into the desert. The desert's scenery was similar to the desert in the real world. Fortunately, the senses in the game were not as exaggerated. Although they could feel the temperature was a little high, it was not too uncomfortable. Of course, traveling normally wasn't a good idea either. Strange monsters would pop up from time to time to disturb them. Most of the monsters were wild monsters in the area, and their levels ranged between Level 40 to Level 42. As they were Common monsters, they weren't very difficult to defeat. Even if the team's levels weren't high enough, they could still defeat them easily.
Li Huailin walked towards the west for about 40 minutes without any mishaps. During this time, he killed about 100 monsters and dropped over 10,000 EXP. Finally, he saw a building. Because it was in the middle of a desolate desert, the building was very eye-catching.
It was a white building. Although it was very dilapidated, it still retained its general appearance. They could see what looked like a spire on the ground. There were only four windows on it. This was obviously not the main entrance. Most of the building was probably buried under the sand.
"Is this it?" The few of them walked to the side of the white building. The Jade Emperor pointed at the building and said to Kassanna.
"I'm not too sure, but it looks like this is it. As the desertification worsened, the previous city was buried by the sand. I remember this temple should be the tallest building in the city. Now, only the spire can be seen."
At the top of the tower were four large windows about the height of a human. Li Huailin poked his head in to take a look. There was no light at all. It was dark, but he could feel that it was empty. "It's all dark. I can't see what's going on down there."
"Throw a torch down." Red Moon said as she took out a torch, lit it, and threw it out of the window. But it didn't seem to work, because the torch went out after falling for a distance. Before they could see what happened, it was dark again.
"Looks like we can't see what's going on below from above. Looks like we can only jump down," the Summoning Jade Emperor said.
"Will it be very high? Wouldn't it be terrible if we fell to our deaths?" Hongyan drank water and said with a little fear. She was really a little afraid of jumping down from such a dark place.
"How about this? I'll try jumping first." Li Huailin took the initiative and said, "If I'm fine after jumping down, I'll call you guys. If I die, then I'll kill my way out of the city."
"Eh? Isn't it dangerous with so many city guards over there? "Hongyan said worriedly as she drank water.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of those guards. If it really doesn't work, ask your cousin to go online and inform my troops to come and pick me up. Would they dare to touch me?" Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "So it's better for me to do it."
"Indeed." The Summoning Jade Emperor nodded. "But you're so reliable. Is it really okay? Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
"Anyway, I'll jump first." After Li Huailin said that, he jumped directly into the window next to him. The remaining five people immediately leaned against the window to see what was going on. However, they only saw Li Huailin fall into the darkness and then disappear. After waiting for a while, they did not hear the sound of him landing.
"So high? Why hasn't he landed yet? "After waiting for thirty seconds, the Summoning Jade Emperor said impatiently," It looks like he fell to his death. "
"Brother-in-law!" Hongyan, who was drinking water, immediately shouted at the window, "Are you all right?"
"Huailin, are you still down there?" Red Moon also shouted. However, after waiting for a while, there was no reply from Li Huailin.
"It looks like he has resurrected and returned to the city." After the Summoning Jade Emperor said that, he opened the team channel and said, "Did he fall to his death? Is he back in the city? "
However, after waiting for a while, no one answered. Red Moon was a little puzzled. She also shouted in the team channel, "Huailin, say something if you hear it."
"Oh no …" The Summoning Jade Emperor suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Red Moon asked curiously.
"Try to contact him from afar first. You'll know," the Summoning Jade Emperor said.
Red Moon nodded and immediately contacted Li Huailin. However, a system prompt immediately appeared: Player is in a special map. Long-distance communication is not available.
"Special map?" Red Moon was surprised. "He was teleported to a special map? Did he just jump from here?"
"It looks like there is a special map below. It might be related to our quest," the Summoning Jade Emperor said.
"In that case, it doesn't seem like he will fall to his death. Otherwise, he would have Rebirth a long time ago. Let's go down immediately," Red Moon said.
"Well, it's probably part of the quest. Anyway, let's go down and take a look." The Summoning Jade Emperor agreed.
"Eh? Are we really going to jump? " Hongyan was a little afraid of drinking water. It was so dark and so high. Just looking at it made her legs a little weak, let alone going down.
"I'll go first." After saying that, Kassanna leaped down.
"Hurry up." The Summoning Jade Emperor stood on the windowsill and said to them. Then, he jumped down himself.
"Sister Yueyue, I'm scared." Hongyan, who was drinking water, immediately pulled Red Moon and said.
"Your brother-in-law might already be fighting with the monsters down there. Aren't you going to help him?" Red Moon said casually.
"Really?" Hongyan was very gullible. She immediately believed it. "Okay, for brother-in-law, I … I …"
Before she could make up her mind, Red Moon gently pushed Hongyan down.
"Ah … Sister Yueyue … you can't do this …" The sound of Hongyan drinking water disappeared into the darkness.
"Let's go, Ribbon." Red Moon said with a smile.
"Mm." Red Ribbon nodded and jumped down as well.
Returning to Li Huailin's side, Li Huailin felt his body shake, and then he was standing on the ground. He was standing directly on the ground, as if he didn't have the feeling of falling. His surroundings were still dark, and he couldn't see anything. Li Huailin took out a torch from his backpack and lit it up. Soon, his surroundings were illuminated. He seemed to have appeared in a rectangular room, surrounded by walls, but the wall in front of him had six doorways that were about the height of a person. There were no doors above them, but it was still dark inside, and he couldn't see anything.
Li Huailin looked around the room and found that there was nothing in the room. However, there were a few places on the walls where torches were placed. It seemed like they were still usable. After Li Huailin lit the torch in his hand, the whole room became brighter.
Just as Li Huailin was thinking about what was going on, a white light suddenly flashed beside him. Li Huailin turned around and saw that the NPC Kassanna had appeared beside him. She was also standing in a way that suited him.
"Where am I?" Kassanna looked around.
"Huh? Why are you … "Before he finished speaking, there were a few more flashes of white light. He looked around and saw that his main team had appeared beside him.
"Hey, you guys have all jumped down. Why are you so fast? I haven't told you guys to come down yet," Li Huailin said.
"I can't help it. You didn't respond, and I can't contact you," Jade Emperor Summoning said.
"I can't contact you?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Sure enough, you can't use the communication channel in here …" Red Moon said. "I tried it. I can't use the long-range, team, or guild channel."
"Huh?" Li Huailin immediately tried it. It was just as Red Moon said. When he opened the channel, he was notified that he was in a special map, and he couldn't use the long-range chat function.
"Again …" Li Huailin facepalmed. This wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation. The last time he encountered it was when he was thrown into the past thousands of years. What was he playing this time?
"Where are we?" Hongyan asked as she drank some water.
"I don't know. I just fell in here. However, the system notified me that we are in a special map. I see that there is a roof above us. It's obvious that we didn't fall from here. It looks like we were teleported to a special map when we fell. Kassanna, do you know anything? "Li Huailin turned to the NPC beside him and asked what she knew.
"I don't know. I've never been here before." Kassanna shook her head.
"What's up with the door here?" Jade Emperor Summoning asked as he pointed at the six exits on the wall.
"I don't really understand, but it seems interesting," Li Huailin replied with a smile.
