Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 653 This is called a sense of security

Not buddy!

Don't do it!
Five routes were already difficult enough, and now they want to add new routes on top of that?!
Is this some kind of attempt to drive someone crazy?!

Li Miao suddenly felt dizzy.

However, since things had come to this point, he had no other choice but to adjust his mindset and prepare to grit his teeth and move forward.

However, things soon took a turn for the better.

Upon reaching the fork in the road, Li Miao quickly discovered a completely different set of footprints on the other side, which did not appear to be human.

The original owner of the footprints seemed to have followed this path.

Here, the footprints become quite messy.

The footprints at the fork in the road seemed to be in a panic, trying to escape.

Li Miao followed the footprints and soon found another withered, broken corpse.

Compared to the previous corpse, this person's death was much more gruesome; the body was shattered, and blood splattered onto the surrounding stone walls.

Without a doubt, the owner of the footprints cruelly murdered this unfortunate man.

However, Li Miao was more concerned about something else beside him than this unlucky fellow.

A humanoid shed skin came into his sight.

"This……"

Li Miao picked it up with a mixture of surprise and doubt and examined it for a moment. The scale-like marks on it looked quite familiar to him.

He quickly took out the scales Ryan had given him earlier and compared them.

Then a look of understanding appeared on his face.

The scales are extremely similar in condition, and the molted skin in front of us is most likely left by Ryan!

However, although there were shed skins here, he did not see any footprints of Ryan continuing forward.

"..."

Li Miao stood up, frowned, and pondered for a moment before making some guesses.

Due to the unique nature of being a single entity with multiple souls, Ryan's body should possess a large number of extraordinary abilities.

Perhaps this molting is one of his abilities, probably similar to creating a clone.

That's why Ryan was able to divide his forces into five groups, leaving only the footprints of their advance.

Thinking of this, Li Miao glanced again at the shriveled head with a fearful expression.

It seems that the Yasum chieftain wanted more than just to find the so-called slumbering soul.

He was still using Ryan's body to draw power from the Dark Realm...

We must get this guy out of Ryan's body right away!

Li Miao took a deep breath and quickly returned to the original fork in the road.

However, just as he returned to the fork in the road, another unexpected event occurred.

An unknown flame appeared before him, seemingly having been waiting for him for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Li Miao's heart skipped a beat.

He took out the divination pillar and threw it. After swaying for a moment, the pillar finally fell to the ground.

This made his pupils shrink, and he subconsciously associated it with Ryan.

not good!

If it were Ryan, his body would currently be controlled by Chief Yasum, and he is also a Fire Saint with multiple abilities. Moreover, the opponent is a native life form... He alone might not be a match for him!
While Li Miao noticed the unknown flame, the other party seemed to have noticed him long ago.

The next moment, the other person raised their hand, as if throwing something at him.

Li Miao instinctively wanted to dodge, but he quickly realized... the other party didn't seem to intend to attack him?

The next moment, the object thrown by the other party appeared from the darkness.

The starlight quickly coalesced on the ground, eventually transforming into characters that Li Miao was all too familiar with.

"I am the distance."

The instant I saw that sentence.

Li Miao's heart immediately settled down. Although he didn't know what tool the other party had used, the fact that it was written in real-world language meant that the other party was definitely from the other side.

Well, the reaction given by the divination pillar matches up.

Thinking about this, Li Miao felt both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

Damn it, I've really become the second-best among the spirit candles!
While inwardly complaining, he also reacted by activating the double-sided tumbler and throwing the good face into the distance.

Before long, the distant place shrouded in darkness came directly to his side, and even his limbs were blurred, with only the firelight on his chest shining brightly.

Although the identification of the identity has been completed.

Unfortunately, they cannot communicate now.

However, Yuanfang remains as reliable as ever.

He paused for a moment at the fork in the road, seemingly fiddling with something.

Then, he walked towards the second path on his right, and after making his choice, he paused and waited for Li Miao.

Li Miao quickly followed.

Although I don't know why Yuanfang is taking this route.

But since there's an expert leading the way, all we need to do is follow.

To be honest, Li Miao was initially a little confused when the distant place appeared, but now that confusion has completely disappeared.

It's so great to have a mentor!
This is what we call a sense of security!
He sighed inwardly.

I wonder if that guy who went ashore will be able to find this place...

Li Miao was curious about how Yuanfang had found this place, but since they couldn't talk right now, he could only put his questions aside and continue on his way.

What followed was a quiet journey.

Just like the path Li Miao initially took, there were still no monsters or NPCs blocking the way.

Li Miao guessed that there were probably monsters on this road, but Ryan had cleared them out.

As expected, they found very obvious signs of a battle at a place they passed on their way, but no bodies were left behind.

It's estimated to be a monster similar to the Lightless Ones.

after a while.

The road ahead suddenly opened up, and the tall tree trunks and strange leaves on the ground indicated that they had emerged from the rocky forest and arrived at a place that resembled a forest.

The footprints hadn't disappeared, so the two quickened their pace, hoping to catch up with Ryan ahead.

However, when passing through certain places, the distance suddenly stops, as if it is studying something.

The surrounding trees are getting denser.

Just as the two stepped over a seemingly ordinary patch of ground...

Suddenly, an eerie light emanated from beneath their feet, and a dense rain of arrows rained down from above and all around them.

Attack!

The other side reacted quickly and took immediate action.

But Li Miao couldn't see his movements clearly.

Only after realizing what was happening did he try to take out his large shield to defend himself, but the arrows had already struck his armor with a clanging sound.

Almost no damage...

Seeing this, Li Miao became too lazy to take out his shield anymore, picked up his Frost Cavalry Lance, and began searching for enemies in the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, Yuanfang had already made his move.

Under the shroud of darkness, Li Miao could only notice the figure in the distance flashing by like a ghost not far ahead.

He stopped after a moment.

The battle ended in the blink of an eye.

After Li Miao arrived beside him, he saw the body of the attacker.

The attacker was petite, with a body as if made of glass, some veins clearly visible, making it look as if those strange trees had transformed into human form...
