Chapter 24: Crisis, Trap!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liao Fan followed the marks he had made.

The torch in his hand flickered continuously as if it was going to extinguish.

Without wasting any time, Liao Fan lit a new torch.

After five minutes, he arrived at his destination.

Despite that, the second villager was not there.

A normal person would have become nervous and waited on the spot.

On the contrary, Liao Fan was smiling.

This mark was not right. He had also calculated the number of steps taken.

At first, it took a total of 1,232 steps to get here, but now, it was 1,254 steps.

Perhaps if the difference was less than ten steps, then it could be brushed off. 

However, twenty steps were too much.

Furthermore, Liao Fan noticed that the mark had been tampered with.

He was prepared this time.

Although the triangle mark was the same size as the one he had drawn, there was supposed to be a small gap in the middle of the line on the left.

Of course, this triangle had no such gap!

The thing that was trying to kill him had messed up.

It could only rely on such tricks because there was no way for it to move outside the fog.

The current method used was actually not bad.

If it had done this the last time, Liao Fan would have probably been trapped in the fog and died when the torch went out.

Unfortunately, it would not work on the current Liao Fan.

He still had plenty of time to get out of the fog!

For now, he was only worried about his villagers.

Liao Fan might need to take a risk to find them.

The second villager was in danger because he did not have many torches left! 

A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Liao Fan’s head.

‘Was the thing targeting the second villager instead of me?!’

*Thud!*

His heart sank.

Liao Fan could not help but feel nervous.

‘I guess I underestimated its intelligence. 

‘It’s even smarter than regular humans!’

The wild boar attack was probably set up by the other party as well.

Fortunately, the assault failed.

Not only was the wild boar killed, but the second villager evolved. 

It probably never expected such a turn of events.

Although Liao Fan had very little information, he needed to take on the gamble.

Since Liao Fan had gotten stronger, the thing in the fog needed to get rid of his source of strength.

“In the end, it just wants me to die, right?”

Liao Fan quickly composed himself.

Then, he stared at the fog.

‘I’m certain that there was a pair of eyes staring at me from that direction!’

Although Liao Fan’s heart was beating rapidly, he was not afraid at all.

He had made up his mind to face the fog!

Suddenly, a voice could be heard.

“Hehehe…”

It came from the fog.

The voice sounded cold and confident at the same time

This was the first time Liao Fan heard a voice coming from the fog. 

It was similar to what people in the world channel had experienced.

The voice continued to laugh!

Liao Fan took out his map.

It was kept in his right pocket, while the stone die was in the left pocket.

Liao Fan found the location where he was supposed to meet up with the second villager.

He had to get there as soon as possible!

The second villager had forty torches.

That would last him for eight hours.

However, six hours had passed, which meant he only had two hours left!

That was not a lot of time at all!

The sky was turning dark!

At nighttime, the danger level would be doubled!

Worst still, it would only be an hour at most before nighttime.

He had to find the second villager within one hour!

If Liao Fan found him after an hour, they might be devoured by the fog!

It was highly unlikely that they would survive.

Liao Fan may not even have a corpse leftover.

There were just too many unknowns hidden within the fog. 

They needed to quickly escape and return to the thatched cottage.
