However, after Yang Rui muttered to himself, he seemed to have realized something. If Dragon Soul's people were able to reach the waters around Golden Cauldron Island, their intentions were worth guessing.
"Could it be that Dragon Soul's people have also accepted the Civilization Holy Weapon Quest? That's not possible …
...”
While Yang Rui had his doubts, he was also very clear about the requirements for accepting Reputation Quest. The possibility of Dragon Soul's people accepting the Reputation Quest was very low. Yang Rui guessed that they had at most obtained some information about the Holy Weapon Quest.
Although Yang Rui's speculation was still a little off, there was one crucial point — the arrival of a large number of Dragon Soul's players and personnel was very likely related to the Golden Cauldron Island's Holy Weapon Quest.
Therefore, even though Yang Rui had the need to communicate with the Dragon Soul's troops, he did not rashly reveal himself.
Dragon Soul's people had been in the Foreign Realm for four to five months and must have accumulated a lot of experience. Previously, Yang Rui had also promised to cooperate with Dragon Soul and other player organizations. If Yang Rui revealed himself now, he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of useful information.
However, if Yang Rui suddenly appeared in the waters around Golden Cauldron Island, it would be easy for the other party to connect the dots. Moreover, with Yang Rui's situation in the Foreign Realm, it would be very troublesome to communicate with them.
Therefore, after some consideration, Yang Rui brushed past Dragon Soul below him and controlled Sky City to quickly head in the direction that Dragon Soul came from.
Although he did not directly communicate with Dragon Soul's people, since Dragon Soul's people could come from this direction, it was very likely that there were some areas suitable for player activities in this direction. Perhaps even the Three Kingdoms Civilization's main city area in the Foreign Realm!
As for Dragon Soul's thirty to forty thousand people. Even after entering the Gold Cauldron Island. Judging from the current situation on the island, Yang Rui would not be able to cause much trouble. Therefore, he did not have many concerns and believed that the Holy Relic of Civilization would fall into the hands of the Dragon Soul.
"Sir, please spare my life. Sir, please spare my life. This old man did not say anything false earlier. The cursed lands are indeed extremely dangerous. You can't blame this old man …
...”
After passing by Dragon Soul's troops for about half a day. Yang Rui piloted Sky City past a large desert area, and then found the NPC residences and herders. Yang Rui captured a herder and was about to ask him about the situation, but before he could speak, he heard the other party say, "You're right.
After asking a few questions, Yang Rui finally understood. It turned out that when the old herder saw the direction Yang Rui came from, he mistook Yang Rui for the Dragon Soul's troops who had also passed by this place. That was why he said those words.
Coincidentally, when the Dragon Soul's troops passed by, it was this old herder who guided them. Therefore, when he saw Yang Rui appear with his troops, he thought that the Dragon Soul's troops had suffered losses earlier. In the end, they came to find him again!
Feeling that the old herder's words contained a lot of information, Yang Rui took out some money, food, and items to appease him. Only then did the NPC herder's emotions calm down.
"With this sword, you can have the materials to make this old man's head? My head needs to be reforged …
...”
In the process of appeasing him, Yang Rui found that the NPC herder did not care about money, food, and other miscellaneous things. Instead, he was very interested in some weapons. He even muttered some strange words, as if there were a lot of metals and iron ores in this place.
After a deeper understanding, Yang Rui had a rough idea that the area where Golden Cauldron Island was located was called the "Cursed Land" by the NPCs in the Foreign Realm. The monsters and NPCs that lived in this area were all exiled, cursed, or had a certain destiny. Usually, they could not escape from this area for the rest of their lives.
This reminded Yang Rui of the situation on Death Island. It was very similar to what the old herder had said. As for the NPCs and monsters on Golden Cauldron Island, they were at most considered to have a special destiny.
At the same time, the old herder had also said very clearly that the Cursed Land, including Golden Cauldron Island, was isolated by the Cursed Sea. Outside of the Cursed Sea, there was the Barren Land. The Barren Land was the area where normal NPCs lived.
This was exactly the same as what Yang Rui had seen. He reckoned that the desert they had just passed through was the so-called "Heavenly Wasteland". Without a powerful tool like Sky Castle, it would not be easy for a large group of people to pass through the Heavenly Wasteland.
The Cursed Land's interior was divided into different levels, and the Old Shepherd didn't know much about them. He only knew that the deeper one ventured into the Cursed Land, the greater the danger one would face. The residents and monsters in the outer regions of the Cursed Land were relatively safer. They simply bore some of the burden of fate.
The five noble NPC factions on Golden Cauldron Island should be the situation that the old herder had mentioned. They were responsible for a certain destiny, and were not much different from normal NPCs in the Otherworld.
The NPC factions and monsters that Yang Rui had encountered on Death Island should belong to the "Heinous" level. Their individual strength was generally stronger, and they should be in the deeper parts of the Cursed Land.
Of course, this was only Yang Rui's guess based on the clues provided by the old herder. The NPC factions on Death Island had long been under Yang Rui's control. They had always been in a state of standby in Sky Castle.
Yang Rui was still quite interested in the Cursed Land. However, some of the special attributes of the Cursed Land made Yang Rui stay away from it for the time being. For example, the property of not dropping any items made Yang Rui speechless.
Even so, Yang Rui was still very interested in the Cursed Land if he had the time or the opportunity to enter the Otherworld again in the future.
However, Yang Rui still paid more attention to the Otherworld's normal areas. Through the old herder's increasingly active and in-depth explanation, Yang Rui finally had first-hand information about the situation in the outer area of the Cursed Land.
The Heavenly Wasteland was the outermost area surrounding the Cursed Land. After passing through the Heavenly Wasteland was the area that the old herder called the "Wilderness", which was the area where Yang Rui and the old herder were currently.
This area was equivalent to a relatively remote border area. It was a zone that separated the Otherworld's normal areas from the Cursed Land. Most of the people who lived in the Wilderness were ordinary people like the old herder. Basically, no one cared about them.
As the Wilderness continued to extend, NPCs of various civilizations gradually began to appear. The old herder was not familiar with the Cursed Land.
