Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"It should be right here."

"Has your mission changed?"

"No, and the light spot on the map has disappeared, but I have memorized the specific location. It's right in front of us."

In a deserted field far away from the farm, Han Zu and Garcia stood in the middle of a pile of weeds. According to the position Garcia remembered, Han Zu took a thick branch picked up from the roadside and continuously inserted it into the soil under the weeds.

"This location?"

"Hmm... No, it should be a little to the right."

"here?"

"A little further back... there's more!... That's right! It's at this position." After confirming the location, Han Zu began to dig the soil with his hands, and soon he hit something hard.

"That must be it!" Garcia said excitedly.

Han Zu cleared the surrounding soil and dug it out. He found a stone coffin covered with soil and roots of weeds.

"Open it and take a look." Han Zu said as he wiped the dirt off the surface of the box, observed the structure of the sarcophagus, and prepared to open it.

"Be gentle, don't destroy the things inside."

"rest assured."

It took some time to open the sarcophagus intact. There were no remains inside, only an old-looking picture made of the skin of an unknown animal.

"This seems to be..." Garcia picked up the picture and started flipping through it, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's written on it?" Han Zu asked.

"This should be a map, but the route on it is very simple and seems to be disorganized. I can't tell what is drawn on it for now. Can you take a look?"

Han Zu took the map from Garcia and took a look at it. It was just as Garcia said. The route on it was very simple, without any signs at all. There was also no other information inside the sarcophagus that could be used to understand the map. It seemed that this map was of no use for the time being.

"Why don't we let the hounds try? Although they are not canines in theory, their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of dogs. Maybe they can find something."

"good idea."

Han Zu called out two Death Hounds and asked them to ask about the thing that looked like a map. They were very intelligent and could understand what Han Zu meant. After eliminating the smell of Han Zu and Garcia, as well as other interfering smells, the two Death Hounds quickly ran away in one direction.

"Let's go, follow them."

Han Zu's perception ability did not detect any other players around, so there was no need to keep normal. After a series of jumps, Han Zu stopped at a reservoir that looked polluted, and two hounds stopped by the water.

The Death Hounds can breathe underwater, so the reason they stopped was not because of the water, but because the smell disappeared. Han Zu took out the map and compared it. The surrounding environment did not match the location on the map. The two Death Hounds nudged Han Zu's hand and bit his arm, making Han Zu look towards the direction of the water.

"You suspect it might be underwater?" The hounds nodded and touched their noses with their paws.

"But there's something underwater blocking the smell, so you can't smell it?"

"Woo!"

Han Zu looked back at Garcia, who nodded, checked his equipment, and prepared to go into the water. After finishing the check, he nodded at Han Zu.

Han Zu took the hound back, squatted down by the water, and put his hand into the water. Although the water was seriously polluted, it had no effect on Han Zu's physique, and the same went for Garcia.

"Let's go down."

"Wait a minute."

Han Zu suddenly grabbed Garcia and cut two cuts on both sides of her shoulders. Garcia was confused and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Um.. what are you doing?"

"Does it hurt?"

"That's not the case, but you are..."

Before Garcia could finish his words, he saw Han Zu grab both of his arms with both hands at the same time, and then exerted force at the same time, pulling both arms off from the shoulders, and falling to the ground while holding each other tightly.

"Um...you..."

A large number of black tentacles quickly grew out of the wound on Han Zu's shoulder. They looked like the tentacles of a dozen mutated blue-ringed octopuses, except that they were black in color and the suction cups were dark green. These tentacles temporarily replaced Han Zu's arms, and they were even more flexible than his original arms.

Using these tentacles with suction cups that seemed to have a rapidly decreasing sanity value, Han Zu picked up his arms that had fallen to the ground. Some small and tough black tentacles also emerged from the wounds, and Han Zu connected them to the wound on the back of Garcia's shoulder.

"Move around a bit and see how it goes."

Garcia, who suddenly had two more arms, followed Han Zu's instructions. The arms that originally belonged to Han Zu soon adapted perfectly to his own and he was able to fully control them. Garcia, who now had four arms, could feel the power from Han Zu's arms slowly strengthening himself, but this overly abstract method suddenly gave Garcia an indescribable strange feeling.

"Let's go once you're used to it. The water is very murky. If we get separated, I can use my arms to find your exact location and also enhance your combat abilities."

"Thank you... It just feels... very... strange."

"Get used to it, and let's go."

After entering the water, when the diving depth exceeds three meters, the underwater visibility becomes very low and very turbid. The unknown pollutants in the water make Han Zu's visual ability useless. Han Zu pulls Garcia next to him and makes some gestures to her, meaning that the two of them should explore separately. Han Zu will confirm each other's position by sensing each other's arms.

After finalizing the action plan, the two men split up. Garcia explored the edge of the reservoir, while Han Zu continued to dive deep into the reservoir.

Han Zu moved forward slowly in the turbid water. Relying on his strong perception, he avoided the obstacles under the water.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual but familiar breath coming from the depths. It should be the energy fluctuations emitted by the Gift of Death with impurities.

Han Zu thought to himself that it seemed that the map's instructions were related to the Gift of Death. He quickened his speed and swam towards the source of the aura.

As the distance got closer, Han Zu finally saw the outline of a huge underwater cave. There was a strange faint light in the cave, as if some mysterious power was surging in it.

Han Zu used his tentacles to adjust his position, approached the cave, and prepared to go in to find out. However, before entering, Han Zu first used his perception ability to confirm Garcia's position and used biological signals to inform Garcia of his position.

After waiting for a while, Garcia also rushed over, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, led by Han Zu, entered this suspicious underwater cave.
