According to Shang Zhan, the strange sea in the robbery zone just now was marked as "Red Wave Sea" on the map. It was extremely large and no one could survive from it.

Perhaps it was the red waves of the sea that caused a huge shock to everyone.

For the rest of the journey, everyone was quiet and climbed the mountain in silence.

Someone lost his balance and nearly fell into the robbery zone. It was all thanks to his teammates who grabbed Luo Dai and dragged him back.

Half a day later, Shangzhan repeatedly compared the map in his hand and suddenly stretched out his hand: "Let's set up camp here!"

"Teams A, B, C, and D will be responsible for leveling the ground and driving stakes. The rest of the teams will use me as the center of a circle and graze cattle in a two-mile radius and cut down trees as wide as a person. If you encounter danger, just shout loudly to warn people!

Be careful, it cannot exceed a radius of two miles!"

When they reached Maolin, everyone stopped.

Donkey Face looked around, and when no one was paying attention to him, he took off his bag, put it down on his back against a tree stump, and then gently untied the rope of the package.

He lowered his head and saw the Jade Yuan Toad in the bag raising its ferocious head. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Donkey Face felt that the Jade Yuan Toad was nodding to him, expressing gratitude?

Swoosh! The Jade Yuanchan flew out silently from its original position and dived into the grass on the side. In a few breaths, it disappeared from the Donkey Face's sight.

"Donkey Face, go, we must chop down thirty logs before dark!"

Shan Bo's voice came from afar, and Donkey Face responded, quickly taking the hatchet and rope he carried with him, and hurriedly caught up with the team.

The Jade Yuanchan was not actually far away.

According to Jade Yuanchan's original plan, after returning to the wilderness and lush forests, he would find a safe place, eat caged fish, and spend the winter quietly.

I didn't expect that this wilderness was so dangerous, with danger at every step. If you were not careful, you would step into the so-called disaster zone.

So... the Jade Yuanchan set his eyes on the map in Shang Zhan's hand.

However, Shang Zhan is a martial artist at the Bone Penetrating Realm, with his qi and blood integrated into his bones. His physical fitness and senses are far superior to those of ordinary people. It is too risky for Jade Yuan Chan to forcibly seize the map.

but……

In the grass, the Jade Yuanchan silently watched the figure of the merchant in the distance.

Its jade-like skin color gradually changed, and finally turned into many spots like the texture of tree bark, which was gray and could not be distinguished at all if one did not look carefully.

Why rob?

The wilderness is the home of wild beasts and monsters.

Nature is their best protective color.

The jade toad quietly climbed up the dense treetops and coiled on the broad trunk.

Cold eyes stared silently at the trade show.

There was no murderous intent, nor any change in his gaze that would attract attention.

Like a dead thing.

…

After most of the day, the sky darkened.

A few crude tree houses were built in the woods that had long been razed to the ground.

Several bonfires were burning in the center of the woods.

After marching, chopping wood and repairing houses during the day, many people were exhausted. They ate some dry food in a hurry and fell asleep in the warm flames of the campfire.

Outside, there were people on guard and patrol.

Further away, nocturnal animals began to appear, and occasionally a pair of green eyes like will-o'-the-wisp floated in the air.

But after sensing the powerful energy and blood here, he eventually retreated.

Shang Zhan wore a deerskin coat and never left his bow and arrow and dagger.

At this moment, I am sitting in front of the window of the tree house, using the light of the campfire, looking at the map and making plans for tomorrow.

The two supervisors from the government slept in another room.

Shang Zhan didn't notice that outside the window, on a tree several feet away, a jade toad was acting as a thief on the beam.

"It seems that Wang's residence is secretly carrying out some plan this time by using the land reclamation service."

"The government also knows the inside story, but they focus on Wang's residence."

Jade Yuanchan thought silently.

"Now this group of people is more like an outpost. The wooden houses they built are even piled in the ground. It is obvious that they are going to live there for a long time!"

Jade Yuanchan suddenly thought of the 'Calamity Zone'.

During this period of time, he studied hard and thought hard, and also eavesdropped beside Donkey Face.

Jade Yuanchan roughly figured out what this 'Calamity Domain' was.

It is impossible to verify when the robbery zone first appeared.

Just as Shangzhan said during the day, standing in the wilderness, everything and everything you see towards the robbery domain are mirages.

It is a walking afterimage of a being called 'Mother Earth'.

It's just this afterimage that spans the distance of space and time.

Millions of years ago, old objects that should have been lost with time would be copied down and stand brand new in the disaster zone.

Thousands of miles away, a territory that would take armored chariots and mud dragons many days to reach can now be reached in one step with the help of the robbery domain.

However, it is easy to enter the calamity zone, but difficult to exit it.

If it is the former, the time in the calamity realm has been disrupted and it is a relic of history.

If you are lucky, you will just experience a dream like the one in The Dream of the Yellow Millet. The people you meet and the things you see are all phantoms of history, which cannot be touched or described. When you wake up from the dream, you will return to the human world.

Those who are unlucky, once they step into the long river of time and go upstream, they will also return to the history that has been imprinted. Unless they meet certain requirements or are powerful enough to use Luodai to fight against the backlash from the calamity realm, they can be brought back to reality.

If it was the latter, the space in the calamity zone would be disrupted.

Just by using the robbery zone and breaking into a foreign land thousands of miles away, there might be a glimmer of hope.

As long as you cross the calamity zone, survive all kinds of crises that are enough to make immortals bleed, and try not to step into the second calamity zone to cause further misfortunes, you can return to reality by walking into the wilderness, official roads, and county towns that have been incorporated into the kingdom of Da Jiang.

That’s right, the Tribulation Domain doesn’t just have one piece, but is dotted across the vast expanse of land like pieces of a puzzle.

The map at the trade show only contained relatively detailed topographic features and the distribution of official roads, wilderness, and robbery areas within a radius of several hundred miles to Fengxian County.

Further away, there are very rough and blurred outlines, vaguely illuminating several neighboring counties such as Luoshui County and Jinling County.

In the eyes of Jade Yuanchan, near the counties such as Fengxian County and Luoshui County, there were large areas of disaster areas painted in dark black.

The winding official road was like a glimmer of light piercing through the darkness, barely illuminating the nearby wilderness, and running through all the counties and prefectures of Dajiang.

The entire Dajiang, placed between heaven and earth, outside the disaster zone, is like a faint and weak flame.

It seemed that in the next second, he would be completely swallowed by Jiejiang.

"The world is in a difficult situation. Perhaps the root cause is this natural disaster!"

Perhaps for the people in this world, the calamity zone is just a part of nature. It is the same when they are born and after they die.

Just as when the sun rises it is day and when it sets it is night.

Not worth a second thought.

But for Li Qinglin, he could clearly sense the disharmony in this world.

"Is the world supposed to be like this? No, the Tribulation Realm must have been formed later. Perhaps... the immortal cultivators know the inside story."

Li Qinglin thought secretly.

Corresponding to the calamity realm is pioneering!

It seems that every dynasty that refuses to open up new land will suffer a catastrophic disaster!

Pioneering means searching for resources in the wilderness and using armored vehicles and mud dragons to transport supplies, minerals, etc.

Similarly, it also records the activities in the calamity zone, whether it has dissipated, whether it has spread, whether... there are some strange things.

Even, human lives are needed to fill the gap and explore the unknown calamity area! In the previous dynasty, there was a habit of herding people in the wild and gathering them into towns in the wilderness.

But for some reason, when it came to Dajiang, the township system was completely abolished, and all efforts were made to build the county town and bring the people into the city.

Of course, according to rumors, if there is an anchor point in reality, it will allow people who step into the calamity realm to distinguish direction and time, which can greatly increase the chance of returning to reality.

However, the theory of anchor points is usually only recorded in solitary books of supernatural stories.

There aren't a lot of examples.

In the camp, the bonfire was rekindled and smoke and dust rose.

Jade Yuanchan silently memorized all the details of the map in his mind (on the other side, Li Qinglin was frantically copying them down on paper at the same time), and he felt endless curiosity about the inside story of this world.

"Anchor point? Then are my original body and my clone mutually anchor points?"

For martial artists, or even immortal cultivators, it is extremely dangerous to rashly step into the Calamity Zone, as there is a possibility of losing direction and sense of time.

But it seems that to Li Qinglin, his original body is like a lighthouse in the ocean, vaguely pointing the direction for his clone.

He could just keep his real body in the county town and let his clone fight for life and death and enter and exit the robbery zone.

The robbery zone is dangerous, but also an opportunity.

There are a large number of materials far beyond those in the wilderness, natural treasures, and even immortal heritage that has never been discovered or set foot on.

"Don't worry, don't worry, just wait and grow. Sharpen your weapons first, and then act when the opportunity arises!"
