When Shen Jue woke up, she found herself adrift on the vast ocean. Beneath her was a small wooden raft, and in her hand, a fishing rod. Feeling utterly bewildered, Shen Jue looked at the boundless ...
Zhao Keke calmly accepted this fact. Although she appeared to be keeping watch, her mind had already wandered for a while, and her thoughts were not on keeping watch at all.
The moon is rising a little late tonight.
The moon remained hidden behind the clouds for the first half of the night until the clouds dispersed in the second half, at which point the moon was revealed.
"The moon is out, but it's not a full moon today, so why is it round?" Zhao Keke asked, a little puzzled. (The full moon usually occurs on the 15th or 16th of each lunar month.)
“The dungeon environment cannot be judged by common sense,” Shen Jue, who was resting with his eyes closed, replied.
Zhao Keke turned to look at Shen Jue, only to be amazed once again by his beauty.
Under the moonlight, a beautiful woman appears more beautiful the more you look at her. Similarly bathed in moonlight, Zhao Keke felt that her face was as white as a ghost. If she wore a white dress and used her light-footed skills, she could directly cosplay a ghost.
However, Shen Jue, who was leaning against the tree, was different from her. With her eyes closed, Shen Jue was not as aggressive as usual. Her face was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and she looked well-behaved and quiet.
Why are you staring at me?
"Because you're pretty!"
Shen Jue: I know I'm good-looking, but you don't have to keep staring at me.
"Since you're so bored, why don't you come with me for a walk?" Shen Jue stood up and tidied himself up.
"Huh? Aren't we supposed to be on night watch? Is it really okay for us to leave our posts like this so late at night?" Zhao Keke said this, but her action of getting up betrayed her.
Shen Jue: "It's alright. We just happened to discover something, so we'll go take a look. Before we leave, let's prepare some protection for them."
Zhao Keke: "Should we take some precautions?"
A few minutes later, Zhao Keke saw the protective gear that Shen Jue had put on and remained silent.
This protective barrier has three layers upon three layers, and judging from Shen Jue's movements, he's going to add another layer.
This shows how worried they are about the safety of the others.
"Master, are you really setting up so many protective barriers to protect them?"
"Half and half."
Why do they all like to play cryptic games? It's so hard to guess what the big shots are thinking.
"Alright, let's go." After setting up the barrier, Shen Jue led Zhao Keke outside.
She had made some discoveries on her way to the cabin, and I wonder if her teammates noticed these little issues.
The problematic areas were not far from the cabin.
She had only felt something was strange before. After opening the wooden door and completing the guiding task, she wanted to keep a low profile. Shen Jue didn't tell everyone right away. In addition, she wasn't sure if her perception was wrong, so she simply followed the arrangement.
Mu Sheng had made good arrangements. Shen Jue had thought that after waking up, he would have to find a way to knock Lin Jiao out and take Zhao Keke to check out the problematic locations.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiao was lazy and didn't want to keep watch with them, which actually made things easier for Shen Jue and saved them a dose of mist potion.
When it was Shen Jue's turn to keep watch, she could do whatever she wanted.
The barriers she set up were naturally useful; half of them were to protect those people, and the other half were to trap them.
Everything Shen Jue did was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something he had planned in advance.
This time, when we teamed up to run the dungeon, we only knew Zhao Keke; we were all strangers to everyone else. Naturally, we had to be wary of unfamiliar people.
Shen Jue was waiting for them to fall asleep before making his move.
If those locations really have problems, and if handled properly, they could be the way to obtain the next plot point.
The sooner we start clearing the land, the sooner we can finish.
It's not that Shen Jue looks down on his teammates, but he feels more uncomfortable working with people he doesn't know well.
Zhao Keke was different from the others.
Shen Jue and Zhao Keke had lived together for more than half a year, so they were quite familiar with each other.
Shen Jue not only didn't hide his intentions from Zhao Keke, but even took her along on his errands.
With a clear goal in mind, we arrived at the location of the first problem.
Three large trees growing together.
"Hey, that's strange. Why didn't we notice these three big trees growing together before?" Zhao Keke looked at the three big trees with a puzzled expression.
Shen Jue: "That's because your mental strength is not strong enough. You were affected by the field here, which slightly altered your perception, making you think this is a normal big tree."
Zhao Keke: "If that's the case, then why can I see it again now?"
Shen Jue: "Although the field here can slightly affect your cognition, as long as someone actively brings you here, that slight cognition will no longer exist."
This was the first time Zhao Keke had heard this kind of statement.
Although she didn't understand it, it still seemed to make a lot of sense; her mental strength was indeed not as good as Shen Dashen's.
They had already realized the extent of Shen Dashen's spiritual power during the six months they lived and ate together.
Whenever they went to a new place, all the dangers they foresaw were predicted by Shen Jue.
At times like this, Zhao Keke felt like a useless piece of junk food.
Three large trees grew together, their roots intertwined tightly. In her eyes, the heart of the tree was hollow, and hidden inside was an ancient book.
Shen Jue then took out a set of needles and used his mental power to activate them, piercing the tree trunk with 300 one-finger-long silver needles.
A small space was revealed.
Snap!
That was the sound of a book falling to the ground.
