273 Forgotten Lands (1/2)

After entering the basement of the Purple Sun Mansion…

Shi Feng took a look around, finding nothing special about the place.

The entire room was empty. There was none of the cold wind from before, neither was there the oppressive feeling that could shock even one’s soul.

“There’s nothing here? Were my senses playing tricks on me?” When Fire Dance discovered no monsters in the basement, she promptly put away her daggers, sheathing the weapons back into their scabbards.

“I don’t know, but it is indeed true that there is no danger here,” Shi Feng said, shaking his head.

As players experienced more and more battles in God’s Domain, their sensitivity towards danger would also gradually improve. It was especially true for an expert of God’s Domain. Moreover, this ability of players to perceive danger was usually not wrong.

“Let’s take a closer look around,” Shi Feng said.

If they could not resolve this mysterious situation whereby the mansion’s inhabitants were spirited away, should something actually happen, it would be a tragedy if the incident scared away the NPCs that came to commission quests with the Guild.

If players were the ones to get caught up in this mystery, they would at worst die once, losing a Level and some Skill Proficiency. However, it would be different if an NPC were to get entangled in this matter. If they died, then it would be a true death for them; the Main God System would not revive them.

Hence, it was imperative for Shi Feng to resolve this mystery as soon as possible. Otherwise, this prime real estate would be worthless.

After the trio searched for more than ten minutes, they found no problems with the place. Not to mention a monster, they couldn’t even find a mouse in this place.

However, Shi Feng did not think that the enormous pressure he felt before was an illusion, especially since he had also felt this pressure previously in his past life; it was just that he could not recall when he had felt it exactly.

After searching for a long time and getting no results, Shi Feng’s group had no other choice but to return upstairs.

“What’s going on here?!” The moment the group arrived upstairs, Aqua Rose immediately called out in shock when she saw the scene before her.

Aqua Rose wasn’t the only person who was shocked; even Shi Feng was taken aback by what he saw.

They had simply returned to the hall on the first floor, yet, the scene here was completely different from before. No longer was it the empty, dilapidated hall they had seen. Instead, the sight that greeted the three after they exited the staircase was an intricate labyrinthine corridor. It was as if they had arrived at an entirely different place; it was definitely not the former Purple Sun Mansion they had been in.

At this moment, a notification sounded from the system.

System: Players have discovered the Forgotten Lands. All communications to the outside world are temporarily disabled.

“So it turns out to be something like this.” Shi Feng suddenly came to a realization. He finally knew why the previous owners of the mansion had all disappeared one after another. It turned out that all of them had been transported to this location.

“Guild Leader, I can’t use my Return Scroll,” Fire Dance said, her eyebrows wrinkled. “This is just like the time in the Trial of God.”

“It seems that this place isn’t ordinary at all.” Shi Feng began observing his surroundings.

Shi Feng had encountered numerous such situations in his previous life. It was just like the Lost Lands he had encountered shortly after entering God’s Domain in this life. He had even obtained the Abyssal Blade from that place.

Although the Forgotten Lands was different from the Lost Lands, both still had their similarities. Most likely, players trapped in this place would be released after they completed a certain quest. However, unlike the time in the Lost Lands, none of them received any notifications of having triggered a quest.

Soon after, Shi Feng’s group of three advanced into the labyrinth and began to explore the map.

Shi Feng couldn’t help but admit that this map was very large. Even after they had wandered around for more than six hours, they still hadn’t finished exploring the place. In the end, the three of them decided to split up and continue their exploration. In any case, they had not met with any dangers so far, and it would be much more efficient if they explored the map separately.

Unwittingly, a day passed by without anything happening.
