Chapter 482: Chapter 348: First News of Qianqiu’s Commerce (6K)_3

Hmm, he actually tried it out secretly using his innate Ability, but he died inexplicably halfway through the fall.

It even caused him some mental trauma, or else he would have tried a few more times.

Qianqiu started observing the others.

The landscape of the inter-realm area was peculiar, paths made up of cliffs and steep rocks, resembling bridges. In between, one could encounter numerous forks in the road—some leading to dead ends, some to other Great Domains, and some might even circle back to the Shattered Sea.

Some of the forks were marked with weathered signposts.

"To Great Domain: Ancient Ruins"

...

"To Great Domain: ■ Turbid Bay"

...

"To Great Domain: White Tree Boundary Sea"

"Note: Ghastly Realm conditions have changed, the destination of this path is unknown" (the handwriting was slightly clearer)

In the Ghastly Realm, the position between Great Domains could not be simply described by cardinal directions and could not be clearly discerned; they are more often referred to as adjacent to each other.

The Blue Star World is adjacent to three Great Domains.

Falling Star Pit, Sighing Mountain Range, Buried Bone Land—there are roads to these three Great Domains, and only these three.

This is because Blue Star is situated on the outermost edge. In contrast, Falling Star Pit is adjacent to at least dozens of Great Domains, while the Shattered Sea connects to hundreds.

This maze-like inter-realm zone could lead one astray with a single misstep.

Therefore, some merchants have set up signposts here, but the signs have been severely damaged by time and the environment. Many symbols are unclear, and furthermore, not all signposts are truthful. Some might have been erected by the minions of Evil Gods, pointing towards a certain doom.

Signposts could only be taken as references; merchant caravans relied more on their meticulously collected maps to navigate between realms.

Qianqiu had an adventurer’s map.

He stared at the signpost in front of him, "White Tree Boundary Sea? I’ve heard of it before, seems like it has already fallen into the hands of the Evil God’s forces."

"This Great Domain too."

"And this Great Domain as well."

Passing several signposts in a row, all indicating Great Domains that had fallen a long, long time ago and were likely devoid of any functioning Oasis.

At many of the forks, there were no signposts to guide the way, and even where there were, reaching the target Great Domain might require passing through several or even dozens of intersections. It was a difficult journey.

"How are we going to get to Falling Star Pit?"

"Oh, I have navigation, so we’ll be fine."

In the latter half of the inter-realm area, there were fewer signposts. Qianqiu’s curiosity drew him to a distant area where the rolling Grey Mist had condensed to form a terrifying grey python hundreds of meters long. It burst out from the deep abyss of grey mist on one side of the path, crossed over the bridge-like road, and flew into the abyss on the other side.

Then it re-emerged from the side it started from.

It moved in a repetitive pattern, entering and exiting.

This seemed to be a special kind of Mysterious Evil. Qianqiu found a matching image in the "Mysterious Evil Bestiary," but there was no more detailed information.

After considering, he gripped the legendary, incomplete Strange Implement bestowed by the ranks of Assassin and charged forward with large strides.

A moment later,

He emerged, disheveled and ragged, alongside a few companions who fled in haste to shake off the pursuing Grey Mist Python.

"Big brother, can we prioritize safety?"

"Definitely, definitely."

...

"Big brother, can we stop doing this?"

"Next time for sure."

...

"Big brother, can we wait for that monster to leave before we pass through?"

"Just a little mist creature—watch me go up and tease... damn, I mean, watch me lead it away... What’s with that look? I’m sure about what I’m doing, just like my Assassin career has never had a mistake. Don’t you trust me?"

As a result, when they stepped out of the inter-realm area and into the unique environment of Falling Star Pit, Qianqiu’s cloak of stealth was like that of a beggar, covered in numerous bloodstains, and he had sustained some minor injuries. Fortunately, his mythically strong self-healing powers had kicked in and done their work.

The others were hanging their heads, looking utterly worn out. Qianqiu, who had been fighting... rather, causing mayhem on the way, was instead lively and spirited.

Looking forward to the Oasis ahead.

Yes, this would be his new workplace.

...

There were five people in Qianqiu’s group.

Besides him and his three original companions, there was only Xuetu, the fierce-looking strong man. As they were about to head for Falling Star Pit, he had dismissed all the ’workers,’ yet Xuetu refused to leave and followed him all the way here.

Workers of the world, spirit of servitude, job-hopping for a boost in pay makes you superior.

The benefits and treatment at Blazefire Commerce Guild were said to be quite high—Qianqiu often said as much. Many thought Qianqiu was making empty promises, trying to trick or lure them onto a pirate ship, but Xuetu believed him.

His reason for believing was simple: Qianqiu had ascended to a mythical status!

This was something completely impossible. Their souls bore marks as Assassins, and not even risking their lives could advance them in rank. Qianqiu’s ascension not only indicated the support of a higher existence, but also suggested a remarkably generous benefactor behind the scenes.

To glimpse the whole by observing one part!

Xuetu, despite his ferocious appearance, was a man of fine judgment. He decided to go all in and follow!

"Is this also a newly established division of the headquarters’ commerce guild, I wonder what kind of person the division head here is?"

Xuetu muttered.

Qianqiu waved his hand grandly, "You’ll know when you meet them. Come on, I’ll treat you later."

They entered the Oasis.

The periphery was still under construction in full swing, with automata nimbly moving about. One could also see many Awakeners dressed in fine robes, or attired as mercenaries and guards coming and going.

——This was for venturing into the Grey Mist Area to strike it rich, as the boss didn’t need that many guards back in the city, and the others couldn’t just keep taking leave and freeload.
