At the annual awakening ceremony,
Li Yang actually gave up the SSS-rank profession [Scourge of the Zerg].
While everyone was still mocking Li Yang's foolishness,
Li Yang, who ...
Li Yang originally thought it was one of those blue doors with magic arrays.
Unexpectedly, this so-called portal turned out to be such a large hole.
However, at this point, we can't let them gossip here, and it's not something they can choose. Let the environment be simple as it is.
Immediately, Li Yang and Zisu Ye Qinglong exchanged glances.
Li Yang slowly uttered a single word.
"Walk!"
Having said that, he plunged in without another word.
Although he didn't know where this would lead, Li Yang felt that no matter what, it wouldn't be worse than their current situation. As long as they could leave this deserted island, that was better than anything else.
Once inside, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see anything. Li Yang and his group had to grope their way through the darkness. Moreover, even the lights couldn't be used properly; they couldn't light anything, whether it was a fire or anything else.
This clearly explains why the cave they were in was not as ordinary as it appeared on the surface.
The three of them held each other's hands, afraid of getting lost.
And so, they walked for an unknown amount of time, relying solely on their instincts.
Finally, Li Yang felt that it seemed to be coming to an end.
They have now arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Next, we'll open the blind boxes and see what's behind them.
Li Yang took a step forward.
He first stretched out his foot and weighed it for a while before confirming that there was ground he could put his foot on. Then he stepped on it, and in an instant, everything in front of him was bright.
Seeing the scene before him, Li Yang became excited. Finally, this was no longer some desolate island in the vast sea.
Instead, there is a dense jungle.
Moreover, these features are very similar to those outside their base!
This also means that they have finally left the Black Tower. Although they don't know which specific coordinates this place will teleport them to, they feel much more at ease here.
After Li Yang came out, Zisuye and Qinglong also emerged. After they all came out, they looked back and saw that the cave behind them had closed automatically.
This is really well hidden; I never expected there to be a secret passage in this place.
Li Yang couldn't help but sigh.
"Phew, it seems we're finally out. Teacher Ye, do you know where this is?" Li Yang asked.
At this moment, Zisuye also realized what was happening.
"Wait, let me look at it for a bit." With that, she fiddled with her clothes for a while and then took out the map from before.
She brought this with her when she decided to go find Long Lin and the others.
Li Yang had guessed that the map was on Zi Suye, because he had noticed it was missing when he returned to the bus. He figured the Y organization wouldn't have taken or destroyed a map just for a map; it was likely someone else had taken it. When he met Zi Suye, he realized it must be with her, otherwise, no one would take a piece of scrap paper.
Sure enough, it's on the perilla leaves.
They don't know where they've been teleported to. Although Li Yang thinks they probably haven't been teleported too far, it's still hard to tell where they are. After all, the area is densely packed and has a high degree of repetition. Under these circumstances, even someone who frequently walks around here can easily get lost without a map.
Therefore, it's best to look at the map and find a suitable location; that's the safest approach.
At this moment, Zisuye took out a map and began to examine it as well.
If they did indeed teleport back, then their location on the map should be available.
But to be honest, it's still difficult to pinpoint their exact location given their current state. Li Yang has an even more reliable method.
So this is the method... I'll have to bother Qinglong again.
Li Yang was a little embarrassed to speak.
After all, it really feels like treating someone like a beast of burden, bossing them around like cattle, which is quite unfair.
Let's check with the perilla leaves first, see if we can find the location on the map, and we'll talk about it again if that doesn't work.
Determining one's geographical location by considering one's environment and finding the corresponding coordinates on a map is indeed a difficult task.
However, it is also a point of extensive training.
Skills like faking wilderness survival are essential for professionals.
For someone like Zisu Ye, who has a strong sense of reconnaissance and has undergone special training, it is not a difficult task.
Sure enough, not long after, Zisu Ye suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Li Yang looked over and asked.
The perilla leaf's reaction seems a bit too strong.
Most likely, there has been some special discovery.
Sure enough, Zisuye spoke up immediately afterward.
"Found it! I found our location, thanks to that mountain peak in the distance. It's so iconic, and the map shows it in detail, but... I have a bad feeling about this place."
"Oh?" Li Yang raised an eyebrow, looked at the distant mountain peaks, and then said.
"What's wrong with it? This mountain is so high, and these trees are so strong."
Zisu sighed and shook her head.
"There's nothing seriously wrong with our area, but the problem is that this place seems to be the location of the clearing operation."
Li Yang was stunned when he heard this.
"A crackdown operation?"
He was stunned for a moment after hearing those words before he remembered them.
The clearing operation, the one launched from their base, was to deal with the hordes of monsters that had piled up.
Upon hearing these words, Li Yang realized why Zisu Ye's expression had suddenly turned serious.
The cleanup operation is taking place right here? Are you kidding me! That means they're right in the middle of the battlefield!
Li Yang's expression also looked a bit off.
That's strange, why would this exit be connected to this location?
"Teacher Ye, this..." Li Yang hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
At that moment, Qinglong suddenly stepped forward.
"Master, I'm sorry, I might need to rest for a while," Azure Dragon said.
Li Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after he came to his senses, he glanced at Qinglong.
Yes, that's true. We've really troubled Qinglong along the way; he's been called upon all the time, whether for something or not. Qinglong has definitely done just as much as he has.
I haven't had a proper rest in so long.
It seems that you two have indeed overlooked this point.
After all, when he told Qinglong to rest for a while, Qinglong insisted that he didn't need to.
Now things are better, we've finally left the Black Tower, and it's time to take a break.
Li Yang then spoke.
"It's alright, no need to apologize. You really should get some rest. We should thank you. Thanks to you, we might still be stuck on this deserted island."
What Li Yang said was true. If it weren't for Qinglong deciphering this information, they might not even know how they got out.
At this point, Qinglong took the initiative to say that it wanted to rest, and Li Yang understood that it must have been close to its limit.
At this moment, Zisuye also turned around, her face full of sincerity.
"Thank you for your hard work, get some rest."
