————————————

I just came to sell something, how did I run into this kind of situation?

When it comes down to it, it’s still a lack of strength.

If I were stronger.

Even enemies above level 20 wouldn’t be a problem for me.

Gu Xi muttered to himself as he made his way towards the Ocean Dynasty.

After a night of thinking, Gu Xi had already figured everything out, at least how to escape the current situation; he had a plan in mind.

Even though he kept muttering in his heart, Gu Xi still intended to complete this task.

After all, he had already received the task reward, and not completing the task just wouldn’t make sense in any aspect.

Although this is a game world, the rules in the game are even stricter.

Killing in the game is one thing, but not receiving rewards for task completion, or taking the reward and not completing the task, just try it and see.

The game will promptly show you that tasks take precedence over everything.

Gu Xi didn’t want to be the villain the school teachers warned about.

Even if the task at hand was a pitfall, he’d find another way to jump out rather than run away.

While annoyed, Gu Xi quickly passed through the area with the most chaotic aura, heading towards the Ocean Dynasty.

Because he always had the Mind Shield effect active.

Gu Xi’s presence had not been noticed by anyone.

Additionally, he took relatively small paths on his journey, so he didn’t encounter any danger at all.

A few times, he felt some gazes, but they never landed on Gu Xi.

As time went on, the pace of these scanning gazes increased, and the scope of their sweeps widened, making Gu Xi aware that people on the Ocean Dynasty side had taken notice of him.

It’s no wonder this world values balance; both sides are of the same caliber.

The two big shots have been contending for who knows how many years.

Both sides are quite aware of each other’s tricks.

The Flame Lord of the Red Flame Empire has many ideas, and the Sea Giant of the Ocean Dynasty can see through them clearly.

Had Gu Xi not hidden his abilities from the start, he would’ve had a hard time passing through the first gate of the Ocean Dynasty.

Understanding this, Gu Xi treaded even more cautiously on his journey down here.

Excluding the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe and the Spirit Lamp caretakers, Gu Xi didn’t deploy any underlings.

The Yellow Springs Dragon Robe was used to probe the way. By analyzing the terrain, Gu Xi could clearly identify dangerous and deadly areas.

As long as he avoided those places, Gu Xi could safely leave.

The Spirit Lamp’s presence was not only for the Mind Shield ability but mainly to monitor incoming gazes.

The repeated explorations from the Ocean Dynasty were all detected by the Spirit Lamp.

This informed Gu Xi of the direction he needed to go; the presence of these gazes was more useful than a compass.

The closer he got to the Ocean Dynasty, the less land there was. Sometimes, there were long stretches of just coastline and beach.

As he got close here, Gu Xi immediately understood why the Flame Lord only required him to open the vial and leave.

If this potion were poured into the sea, it wouldn’t take long to pollute an entire area of the sea; once one area was polluted, the entire Ocean Empire could be polluted.

Naturally, by now, Gu Xi only needed to find a stretch of coastline and pour the Solidified Special Aura in.

However, when he intended to do this, he had a premonition.

If he poured the [Solidified Special Aura] into the sea right now, he would immediately be subjected to attacks from all directions.

Such an attack might not cause significant harm to Gu Xi, but it would stall him, and he would be caught up in an assault as vast as the ocean itself.

Gu Xi was capable of fighting back against such an attack.

Of course, he didn’t want to face such enemies.

Although Gu Xi wasn’t worried about some ordinary small soldiers.

He could even replenish his forces through continuous battle.

But this world was entirely different from the last world.

The last world was almost exhausted by its locals, and the strongest enemy that could emerge was at most an Eve.

But this world is evidently different.

This world has existences more powerful than level 20, and there are two of them at once.

The most important thing is that these two might focus their gaze on Gu Xi at any time.

Gu Xi certainly didn’t want to fight them.

If he truly intended to fight them, Gu Xi would’ve acted back when he was with the Flame Lord.

Now, it’s the same situation.

Gu Xi didn’t want to fight the Ocean Dynasty’s enemies.

He navigated all the way using the Spirit Lamp’s guidance, dodging all kinds of trouble, and finally reached a cliff top.

This was the safest spot Gu Xi could sense.

It’s also the position where completing the task allows for an immediate departure.

Gu Xi glanced around, not immediately retrieving the [Solidified Special Aura], but swiftly preparing in various ways.

Gu Xi activated the Flame Domain, setting up various Flame Traps nearby.

These Flame Traps wouldn’t be activated if no one came by, but as soon as someone approached, the entire area would explode, drawing attention here, and with Gu Xi’s Mind Shield.

He’d have a chance to escape to the area with a chaotic aura.

Every route taken to this point had been recorded by the Evil Coffin, including where to leap and where to make a quick turn; the Evil Coffin had it all analyzed.

Though it took Gu Xi nearly a full day and night to get here.

Gu Xi believed that returning would take less than half a day to reach the most chaotic aura zone.

And that half-day was the time Gu Xi had secured for his escape.

After confirming that everything was ready, Gu Xi dismissed the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe’s Equipment Carrier and raised his hand.

The [Solidified Special Aura] was thrown out by Gu Xi.

Then Gu Xi activated the Flame Trap with a gesture.

Without waiting to observe the surroundings, the Evil Coffin carried Gu Xi back in the direction he came from.

This time, Gu Xi didn’t need to worry about routes; he clung tightly to the Evil Coffin’s lid and simply closed his eyes.

Through the Spirit Lamp’s view, Gu Xi saw that many eyes were focused on the spot where he had discarded the [Solidified Special Aura].

No attention at all was on him.

This reassured Gu Xi, but he knew his time was limited, and the explosion could at most disrupt some situations.

Mind Shield isn’t invisibility; while not noticed, perhaps nothing happens.

But once someone focuses, they’ll notice anomalies, and eventually trace back to Gu Xi’s tracks.

So the Evil Coffin needed to be faster, much faster.
