As the words fell, he added in his heart, "I hope no more people will join."
The more people there are, the more complications will arise.
However, at this mont, the four of them first saw a brilliant light unfold before their eyes, covering their entire vision for an instant before gradually revealing a scroll, displaying many strange lines.
"What is this?" Jiang Wenning exclaid in surprise.
Chen Yuan quietly gathered his thoughts, examining the scroll in his mind, scrutinizing those strange lines, and suddenly frowned: "This... looks very much like the outline of our Donghuang."
With these words, the other three looked again.
"This... this is not a scroll, this is a map," Li Junyue said with a tone of certainty.
Hearing Li Junyue say this, Jiang Wenning also spoke slowly, "Indeed, here is Yun Province, here is the Northern Border, here’s the eastern coast..."
At this mont, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Why did the Jade Pendant suddenly change?
Was it because of Chang Yuhuan joining?
Why did it reveal the map of Donghuang Land?
In the next mont, spots emitting a faint glow appeared on the map, and upon close counting, there were eight spots, distributed in different locations on the map.
Chen Yuan carefully recalled the exact location of Qin Province on the map of Donghuang, and suddenly found a spot that was particularly close to Qin Province.
No, this spot is within Qin Province!
Could this spot be himself?
No.
Chen Yuan quickly shook his head, dismissing the idea.
If each of them represents a spot, then there should be a spot where Jiang Wenning is now.
But the location of Shanghai is dim, with no spot present.
"And what’s the matter with these spots?" The sudden significant change in the Jade Pendant left Jiang Wenning feeling very uncomfortable, with many doubts filling her mind.
"Wait a mont, I’ll compare it with the map on my phone." After saying this, Chen Yuan first morized the spot very close to him on this map, then exited the ditation state, opened the map on his phone, and carefully compared.
A mont later,
Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, his lips moved, and he uttered two words: "Qinling."
The approximate location of this spot is precisely Qinling.
If examined closely, it should be sowhere on the southern slope of Qinling.
Chen Yuan instinctively recalled that Mysterious Forest.
He re-entered the ditation state.
"There’s a spot here on my side, within the Fire State territory, which seems to be Fla Mountain," Chang Yuhuan said.
Li Junyue followed up: "There is also a spot in Yun Province, to the northwest, not too far from ."
Jiang Wenning said, "There’s no spot in the coastal area, but there is one inside the East Sea."
And the remaining four spots are distributed in other places, far from them.
"What do these spots and the map an?" Jiang Wenning’s beautiful eyes glead, suddenly shining brightly, "Could it be telling us there are treasures in these places?"
"Or perhaps ruins from ancient tis?"
Listening to Jiang Wenning’s speculation, Chen Yuan nodded: "That’s not an impossibility."
After contemplating for a long ti, Li Junyue suddenly spoke: "Did you notice the commonality in the distribution of these spots?"
"All are located in sparsely populated areas."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
"So what should we do now?" Chang Yuhuan suddenly spoke out, asking the most crucial question.
Everyone fell silent simultaneously.
The Jade Pendant abruptly showed a map accompanied by spots with unclear anings, evidently trying to convey so information, much like the treasures or ruins speculated by Jiang Wenning.
But the Jade Pendant offered no other hints, leaving them to conjecture blindly like headless flies.
Yet in a different perspective, the Jade Pendant’s function, previously limited to long-distance communication, now adds a new, unclear function, perhaps reflecting its true nature.
Chen Yuan contemplated, "Let’s not pay attention to these for now; next ti I venture into the mountains, I’ll check out the spot marked there."
Li Junyue solemnly reminded, "We don’t have other information now, so prepare for facing danger."
The discussion around the map and spots concluded, returning to the topic of Chang Yuhuan.
"Grape, from now on you’re part of our Fruit Factory team, feel free to ask about anything related to Beast Taming." Jiang Wenning’s face showed a faint smile, "We have a particularly skilled Beastmaster among us who knows everything."
Chen Yuan promptly took over the conversation, "That’s right, it’s Polo. She’s a genius Beastmaster at the Beast Taming Academy, and we always consult her when we have questions."
Li Junyue smiled, then introduced himself seriously, "Hello, I’m Waterlon, currently a mber of the Investigation Departnt."
Jiang Wenning suddenly rembered sothing, "Orange, since you already know Grape, do you guys already have each other’s contact information?"
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.
Jiang Wenning’s eyes sparkled, proposing, "Why don’t we... exchange contact information? It would make our communication more efficient."
"And after today’s event, I think it’s necessary for us to stay in touch constantly."
"... Alright." Li Junyue, typically opposed to this, finally nodded.
It’s ti for deeper engagent.
Chen Yuan pondered, "Let’s use our phones for daily communication, and the Jade Pendant when soone is in the wild."
In the wild, phones have no signal, but the Jade Pendant’s communication function remains unaffected.
Initially, they had mocked the Jade Pendant’s function as useless in the information-rich modern era, but now it seems, quite the contrary.
The ability to communicate anyti, anywhere is an extrely important function.
