The mural also marks a migration route, seemingly hoping that those lost tribesmen will one day return, following the path on the mural to rejoin their people.
After reading the contents of the mural, Lu Xing became interested in the depths of the dense forest.
"Brothers, let’s follow the path left by the High Priest to the depths of the forest in a while. I’ll have a meal first."
Saying this, he sat down by the altar and took out a can of food from his Space Bag, eating large mouthfuls.
At this point, the watchers in the live broadcast room were also making a fuss, suggesting that the contents of the ruins and mural could very likely be Hidden Easter Egg Tasks in the game, discoverable only by attentive players, leading them to unknown treasures.
To this, Lu Xing nodded with a smile:
"If we really find a mountain of treasures hidden in the mural, I’ll give red envelopes to the brothers then."
After finishing his meal, Lu Xing summoned the map function, carefully comparing the screenshot path with the map.
With the direction clear, he left the ruins and set out towards the depths of the forest, guided by the path.
After a journey of a day and a half, Lu Xing arrived at the location indicated by the path.
This place, as shown on the map, is called the "Land of Awakening," where light is finely filtered through layers of interwoven tree canopies, leaving a patchwork of shadows, and the surroundings are tightly enclosed by dense and ancient trees.
With no one visiting here for many years, layers upon layers of fallen leaves accumulated over the years, and stepping down would cause one’s body to sink into the piles of leaves.
The legs withdrawn from the piles would carry with them the unique decayed scent of deeply buried fallen leaves.
But Lu Xing paid no mind, continuing his arduous advance.
Through the ancient trees and heaps of fallen leaves, he glanced around.
He was standing on the path left by the High Priest, but nothing unusual seemed to be around.
Sweeping his gaze through the surroundings, there was nothing but gnarled old trees with thick branches.
Perplexed, he began searching the area, clearing the layers of fallen leaves in an attempt to find the dangerous spot depicted in the mural.
After searching back and forth and finding nothing, Lu Xing sat down to rest, carefully reviewing the mural content from the screenshot, hoping to find overlooked details.
After a long examination, Lu Xing still found nothing.
Yet, he did not give up and began a thorough investigation of the nearby environment, centering on his position.
Before long, he stopped in front of an ancient tree that needed ten people to encircle.
The ancient tree bore a leaf-shaped carved mark, identical to the mark left by the High Priest on the mural.
After circling the tree halfway, Lu Xing cleared the fallen leaves behind the tree and saw dim purple spiritual patterns on the ground.
Analysis Ability activated, related information poured into his mind:
[Entrance to the Jile Palace Node]:
Analysis Introduction: A branch space node constructed by the Jile Clan, through which one can enter the Jile Palace.
Realizing that this turned out to be a Space Transmission node, Lu Xing scratched the back of his head.
Glancing at the live broadcast room, the spectators were all clamoring, hoping he would quickly activate the Teleportation Array to check out the Jile Palace, speculating that there might truly be treasures hidden there.
Since he was already there, Lu Xing naturally didn’t want to leave.
After taking a deep breath, he stood still above the Space Spirit Pattern.
Without waiting for him to attempt activating the Teleportation Array, the dim Space Spirit Pattern suddenly activated, with countless voices softly whispering in his ear, like magical tunes piercing his ears.
This was followed by a strong sense of weightlessness.
After a brief blur of vision, the earthen ground beneath turned into a surface constructed of countless crystal-clear crystals, shimmering with a gentle light.
Looking up, a magnificent Heavenly Ladder stood before him, like a pillar to the sky, disappearing into the distant clouds.
"Wow, it’s truly a Hidden Task, we might get rich."
"I feel like it’s a trap scene, but we’re already here, might as well go in and take a look. If we die, so be it. We exploration faction players fearlessly pursue the truth."
"Ding! Successfully activated Hidden Map, deducting ten thousand points of sacrificial power."
Seeing the suddenly surging barrage of comments, Lu Xing chose to step onto the Heavenly Ladder and walk towards the sky.
Before long, a pink door appeared in front of him, blocking the way, with a rotating pink energy vortex at the center.
Analysis Ability activated, related information flooded his mind:
[Door of Evil Desire]:
Analysis Introduction: A special scene where the Jile Clan collects the Power of Extreme Joy, and entering it subjects one to the influence of the Power of Extreme Joy’s rules.
Feeling puzzled, Lu Xing didn’t hesitate and directly passed through the pink door.
After a brief sense of weightlessness, the scene presented in front of him left him dumbfounded.
The air was filled with pink mist, and as his gaze swept forward, countless figures clad in scanty, graceful attire loomed within the pink mist, slowly approaching him.
Sultry whispers sounded enticingly by his ear.
At this moment, the pink mist gradually dissipated, and the scene ahead became clear.
Countless figures were reveling in joy within this scene.
To the left front stood a woman with emerald green hair, resembling an elf from movies.
Her face was like a finely crafted artwork, her skin white as jade with a faint pink hue. Her eyes were pure and innocent, like clear water, and her long eyelashes softly lowered, with every blink resembling dewdrops falling at dawn, evoking Lu Xing’s tenderness.
She wore an exquisite green dress, its light and airy hem woven from countless tiny leaves, swaying gently with her movement. A bracelet made of small flowers adorned her wrist, each flower vivaciously alive, perfectly complementing her aura.
