Chapter 301 Earth Barrier
All the soldiers nodded in agreement, "That's right, our mission isn't complete yet. We'll know the details only after we go there in person."
Chen Cheng: "So we will rest here for one night and set off tomorrow. Regardless of whether we can find anything outside the Earth map by then, this is our mission."
Everyone went back to their rooms afterwards, but Chen Cheng did not leave. Lu Jiu brought a chair and sat next to him, "Uncle Chen, you should have asked more than just these."
Chen Cheng lowered his eyes, "Indeed, there is more than that. I also asked about other things. The highest level of wild monsters here is currently gold. As for whether the people here played the same game as you, I didn't ask."
But it is understandable. After all, there are not many people here, and the corresponding wild monsters do not refresh often, so the combat effectiveness will not increase as fast as theirs, and the level of wild monsters will naturally not be too high.
Chen Cheng continued, “At the beginning, they killed wild monsters to obtain a large amount of food seeds, and then planted them, but planting here is not difficult.”
In fact, this was also what he was curious about, so he asked about it at the time. Fortunately, Sawyer didn't care much about it and told them directly.

Knowing that the residents here had failed in exploring beyond the earth, everyone felt quite uncertain when they set out.
When they learned that foreigners like them who came to stay overnight also wanted to see what was beyond the earth, many residents said something with a smile. According to the translating soldier, those were words of blessing for them.
Everyone quickly gathered and set off. Sawyer stood on the city wall and watched the three convoys galloping into the distance.
The flaxen-haired girl next to him asked, "Sawyer, do you think they can succeed? We've been exploring that area for over a year, but we've always failed."
In fact, they all began to think that perhaps the map of the earth was just a fixed range and there was nothing outside of it.
Sawyer smiled. "I think they might succeed. When we talked yesterday, you should have noticed that their strength is superior to ours. Even the monsters that appear regularly in the wild over there are epic level."
They are only at the gold level, and the easiest kind to deal with.
The girl was silent. Even though life was not too difficult now, who wouldn't want to know why their world had become like this? If only they knew the reason, it would be great if everything could return to normal.

The closer they got to the edge of the Earth map, the less frequently they encountered wild monsters. They used to encounter a group every forty minutes, but now it takes more than an hour.
Looking at the map, Lu Jiu felt a little excited as they saw they were getting closer and closer to the edge of the area.
Even holding Shen Jufeng's hand tightly.
Finally the car stopped and they arrived at the destination of this mission - the edge of the entire world map.
The car door opened, and after Lu Jiu got out, he saw a cold ice field on one side and a blank space with nothing on the other side.
I thought I came here to see what was there, but I didn't expect that this was all.
The three captains looked at the blank space and said, "Even here, don't let your guard down. Let's go."
Everyone walked towards the empty space.
Chen Cheng and the other two captains walked in the front first, looking at the road under their feet. One step forward would be the empty space.
They raised their hands and reached forward, and they clearly felt that there was a barrier in front of them.
Lu Jiu also raised his hand to touch it. His heartbeat was getting higher and higher, his fingertips were trembling slightly, and he even felt a sense of joy in his heart.
After touching the obvious barrier, a pleasant system prompt rang in Lu Jiu's ears.
[System prompt: Checking that the player has the magic suit, the Righteous Man buff, and has reached the permission to unlock the Earth Barrier. Do you want to unlock it?]
Her breathing became rapid, and Shen Jufeng beside her noticed that Lu Jiu was standing there motionless with a blank look in her eyes.
He was frightened, "Lu Jiu!" He patted the other person's shoulder, but Lu Jiu did not respond at all.
The others also gathered around anxiously. Shen Cheng said, "What happened? Is this what happened to her?"
Shen Jufeng nodded, "It's okay for me to touch her, but she just stood there motionless."
Bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and a violent emotion arose in his heart.
However, Chen Cheng remembered Lu Jiu's special nature and said, "Don't act rashly. Let's observe here. If it doesn't work, we can move her away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiu suddenly moved and abruptly retracted his hand.
Before she could say anything, Shen Jufeng hugged her and said, "What happened to you just now, huh? We were so anxious just now."
Lu Jiu still maintained a shocked expression. She hugged Shen Jufeng back and said, "I, I just received a system prompt. It's asking me whether to unlock the Earth barrier."
This time, Chen Cheng immediately pulled Chen Jufeng away and said, "You little brat, hug your girlfriend later." Then he asked Lu Jiu with a very kind expression, "The Earth Barrier, is it the barrier we just encountered?"
Lu Jiu nodded, still a little confused, "Yes, I'd better try it myself."
As she spoke, she walked towards the blank space and stretched out her hand. Everyone saw that her hand passed through and then retracted. Her hand was fine and nothing was missing.
Lu Jiu turned around and said, "Just now it said that the unlock was successful. Because of the countdown, I might have been stunned for a while, but the system also said that after I was the first one to pass, the permissions would be completely unlocked."
The three captains hesitated for a moment, but Shen Cheng said, "Then we'll go over and take a look first. You guys wait here for instructions."
Someone immediately worried, "Captain, let's go first!"
Cheng Chen shouted angrily: "Follow the instructions!"
The soldiers could only wait on the side. Lu Jiu went through first, followed closely by Shen Jufeng and the three captains.

Accustomed to the scenery of the glacial region, Lu Jiu's eyes were a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of many highly saturated colors.
The world before her eyes was filled with all sorts of strange plants of varying colors and exaggerated shapes. She saw a group of creatures with a circle of wings floating by, as if they were flying on the wind.
There was a strange "cuckoo" sound coming from above my head. I looked up and found that they were some strange birds with bright red skin. Their wings were smooth and featherless, but their flying was not affected. They looked a bit like the pterosaurs I had seen in documentaries before, but this one was very small and looked even stranger than the pterosaurs.
A light breeze blew by, and Lu Jiu smelled a slightly pungent smell. He couldn't tell what it was, but it made him want to sneeze.
But she held back. The creatures here were all new to her. Although she didn't show any intention of attacking them, it would be better not to attract their attention.
No one spoke and looked back. Compared to their side, the entire area including the sky was blank, but here there was only a circular blank spot.
Chen Cheng raised his hand to the few people and pointed at the circular area, meaning for them to go back.
After they passed through the circular area and returned to the familiar Earth, Lu Jiu sneezed several times because it was so difficult to hold it in just now.
Shen Cheng secretly took a long breath before saying, "We looked over there and it's a completely new environment. Although we don't know what it is, it's definitely not Earth."
