Chapter 38 The Howling Sound on the Island
Shen Jue was well-prepared, bringing with him the equipment he had prepared and the storage compartments he had made himself.
Although on the island, consciousness can connect with the game system.
However, the resources that can be collected are limited. There are only 90 storage slots to begin with, and other basic resources, rare resources, blueprints, weapons, equipment, and miscellaneous items take up 50 slots, leaving only 40 slots in the end.
More than 40 types of resources cannot be taken away.
It was for this reason that, after returning from Emerald Island, she began collecting materials to expand her storage space.
Nothing in this world is difficult if you are willing to persevere.
Materials will always be available. Before even arriving on the island, she made a tool to expand the backpack's storage space.
Now, 20 more types of materials can be collected, and so far, no material has exceeded the limit for each grid.
This time, there are 68 storage compartments on the island.
With more choices, you don't have to worry about which resources to take; you can just take them all.
Shen Jue used the island landing token, and the next moment, his figure disappeared.
It appeared out of nowhere on an island.
The beach beneath her feet was normal. Shen Jue turned around to look at the sea but did not see any raft.
There may be other players on this island.
This is likely a protective measure.
If a player encounters a situation that threatens their personal safety, they can use the Island Landing Token to teleport back to the raft.
She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that this time the order to enter the island was much more humane than before.
The previous system practically wanted players dead. While the current game system has some protective measures, it's still too early to draw conclusions. What if the current "good" conditions are intentionally provided by the game system, perhaps with some malicious intent?
Now that we're here, let's get started exploring.
Shen Jue changed into her gear and took out a white cane to explore the way.
The white cane is as tall as her.
It can be used for both navigation and as a weapon. The white cane has two forms; normally, it looks like an ordinary stick.
The central axis has a hidden clasp; in case of danger, rotating the central axis will split the white cane in two, turning it into two knives.
When there is no danger, the handles of the two knives can be brought together to transform them into a cane.
It was a homemade weapon that could be used for both offense and defense, and she was very satisfied with it.
After leaving the beach area, there are many forks in the road.
Shen Jue chose the middle one based on her intuition.
While carefully probing the grass, be careful to avoid any dangerous animals hiding in it.
Spray a fragrance on one side, and the scent will last a long time without being irritating.
Qingfeng has a keen sense of smell and can discern routes.
She got lost on the last trip to the island, but this time, with Qingfeng as her good helper, if she gets lost again, she'll just write her name backwards.
With Qingfeng taking the initiative, the exploration speed is much faster.
Island exploration progress up+up+...
However, what struck Shen Jue as odd was the island's eeriness; along the way, apart from her and Qingfeng, there seemed to be no other living creatures.
Could this be a dead island?
That's unlikely. If it were a dead island, what would be the point of coming up here?
Is it a survival game on a deserted island?
Upon closer examination, it's not impossible.
But this is just her conjecture, and it doesn't mean that her idea is correct.
The true nature of this island still needs further investigation.
Shen Juegang directed Qingfeng to head deeper into the island.
Then, a long howl echoed from the depths of the island.
"Qingfeng, hurry!"
Qingfeng instantly transformed back to his original form, carrying Chen Jue. They sped off towards the location of the sound like lightning.
When they arrived, they found themselves in a chaotic rocky forest. The moss growing there was almost completely destroyed, with rubble flying everywhere, as if a fierce battle had taken place. The creature that had previously emitted the howling sound was nowhere to be seen.
Based on the situation at the scene, there appears to be a trace of an escape attempt.
"Qingfeng, follow this route."
