This robably by the sea.
Because the sound of the waves, at this kind of volume, was something only the sea could produce. It was uhat any rge river or ke could match it.
The salty, fishy st in the air further firmed this.
For now, he hadn’t seen his teammates.
He also didn’t know if the Fatty from home had e along.
In an unfamiliar enviro, whether it was shouting loudly or aimlessly walking around, it could be deadly. Although the mission had just begun, Jiang g still lowered his posture, hiding in the darkness.
The building was quite strange. From his perspective, the dome was high, at least high enough that the faint darkness couldn’t be peed by the naked eye. The walls around him were steep, like rock faces.
It wasly rock because there were obvious signs that someone had carved them, and in some pces, smooth, marble pieces could be seen, proving this.
The area was filled with colpsed stone pilrs. The smaller ones were as thick as a thigh, and the rger ones would require two people to embrace.
A big reason Jiang g stayed motionless was because of these colpsed stone pilrs. Some seemed to have fallen from a great height, shattering into pieces.
Tiny stone fragments surrounded him, and if he moved, they would make a “crash, crash” sound.
Jiang g had a strong intuition. He felt that there should be more people in this strange building.
Someone was hiding in the dark.
Whether enemy or ally, Jiang g repared to be the st person to reveal himself.
His gaze slowly swept through the nearby darkness.
It wasirely accurate to call it dark; it wasn’t pitch bck. After Jiang g’s eyes gradually adjusted to the enviro, he realized that the darkness here was more like a thin mist.
The mist was slightly bckish.
He slowly waved his hand, and the bck mist before him eerily dispersed a little, revealing a stone pilr under his feet.
He could now see it clearly.
The stone pilr was covered with intricate carvings he couldn’t uand. At the very top, there was a break, and part of it had fallen beside him. Jiang g slightly frowned.
Wind erosion and water damage had worn the carvings, and he could only make out a vague outline.
He could tell it was supposed to be a creature.
At least the carver had intended for it to resemble a creature.
But Jiang g didn’t reize it.
It had fish scales but also wings, and there ear-like sharp tail behind it.
What kind of strahing was this?
The st time Jiang g saw something like this was in a mobile game, where he had hatched a weird beast egg and got something grotesque. He thought it was too ugly, so he aba right away.
“Screech—”
A sudden, jarring sound made Jiang g catch off guard.
He immediately looked in the dire of the sound and saw a light crack.
Soon, the crack widened.
Jiang g quickly closed one eye, peeking with just oo avoid the bright light.
His eye slowly adjusted, and he realized that the light was ing from a door.
The crack was because someoside ushing it.
“This door is so heavy!” A familiar voice called out. Though the voice was strong and even a bit rogue, Jiang g khe person was just putting on an act.
He was actually a cowardly Fatty.
When the door fully opehe interior of the building lit up, the gray mist was driven away, and Jiang g slowly stood up against the light.
“There’s someone!”
A voice shouted, sharp yet unmistakably male.
The Fatty’s eyes lit up when he saw Jiang g. His mouth opened as if he were about to say “doctor.”
But then he seemed to realize something, and his excited expression slowly faded, turning into a look of curiosity, as if seeing a stranger.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention was focused on Jiang g, and no one paid attention to him.
Looks like these were the teammates for this mission.
Jiang g looked at the group of people.
Why was he always the st oo be found?
Like an orphan.
Just as he took a step forward, ready to joieam, his movements froze. He heard a sound different from the waves.
It was very close! Extremely close!
Right behind him!!
He immediately turned around and saw a young man, around his age, standing by a stone pilr behind him.
The young man, realizing he’d been noticed, Jiang g, then smiled and said, “Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.”
He had a few strands of delicate hair falling on his forehead, and through the gaps in the hair, his gentle eyes looked at Jiang g. His face was warm and polite, like a nobleman from turies ago.
His clothes were also fitting, giving off a graceful, ethereal aura. He appeared to be someone who admired a es.
“It’s alright,” Jiang g replied calmly.
Upon hearing Jiang g’s respohe nobleman seemed to have been fiveing out a long breath. He then nodded apologetically at Jiang g before turning to look in the dire of the Fatty and the others.
Jiang g g the stone pilr beside the nobleman.
When he first arrived here, he had carefully observed the surroundings. Only after firming that there was no danger nearby did he start studying the stone pilrs and carvings.
At that time, he had noticed the stone pilr behind him.
There had been no one around then.
So Jiang g slightly squihis nobleman had probably snuck up behind him.
Step by step, he had crept up while the sound of the waves masked his movements.
The Fatty and the others had noroached.
There were eight people in total for this mission, including Jiang g and the nobleman.
Perhaps because of the required team position, there were 4 men and 4 women, one of whom was a man who probably stood over 2 meters tall.
The man stood behind a girl dressed like a loli, who was just about at his waist.
From what Jiang g gathered from the Fatty and the others, the sea was right outside. The strange building was standing about 100 meters from the coastline.
There were no other buildings around, just this oanding alone.
The building’s back was against a steep rock face, and oher side was an endless forest.
In other words, to leave here, one would either have to climb the cliff, traverse the forest, or build a boat and try their luck at sea.
Jiang g looked at a bck, thin woman and asked, “What happeo you?”
The woman, although thin, seemed to have a strong physique. However, she was covered in small scratches, some of which were still bleeding.
“I tried to climb the cliff to see the surroundings,” the woman didn’t hide it.
Clearly, she had failed.
“The rock face around here is eroded by the sea breeze too much. Many pces ’t hold up,” the woman said, looking towards the door.
