Chapter 1078 Lost (Two Chapters in One)

On the mysterious island surrounded by white mist, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Lin Li left the spirit world and came to the mysterious island. He looked at the magical tree in front of him, then turned around and looked around.

This breakthrough, while his strength increased greatly, the area of ​​the mysterious island also increased a lot.

"One thousand five hundred acres is not a small area. I can grow something more..." Lin Li raised his hand and touched his chin, looking at the mysterious island that had greatly increased in area and muttered to himself.

The next second, he disappeared instantly on the spot, and when he appeared again, he came to the farmland that had been reclaimed before.

After a short period of time without picking, the crops in the field were full of fruits again.

Lin Li began to pick crops. He first broke off some mature corns and put them in an empty bamboo frame, and then went to dig potatoes.

After an hour of busy work, several large bamboo baskets that Lin Li bought online were filled with crops.

He looked at the cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, watermelons, and strawberries that had not been picked yet in the field, raised his hand and scratched his head, muttering.

"Too many, I can't fit them all. When I get home, I'll go online and buy a few more large bamboo baskets."

Lin Li came out of the field and went to the edge of the island to fetch water to water the crops on the island.

"These fruit trees seem to have grown much taller than before. Maybe they will bear fruit earlier than I expected."

Previously, peach trees, pear trees, apple trees, loquat trees were planted on the north side of the island... Lin Li originally expected to eat the fruits grown by these fruit trees next year.

And now when he watered these fruit trees, he found that they were growing vigorously and might bear fruit by the end of the year.

After being busy on the island for a long time, Lin Li watered all the crops before he left the mysterious island.

…………

In the quiet living room, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the TV.

Lin Li returned home, stretched his body immediately, then sat down on the sofa, picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV.

The beautiful news anchor was reporting the news, and Lin Li's eyes widened when he saw the content of the news.

"Shortly after I left in the morning, this strange phenomenon happened?"

The beautiful news anchor reported the sudden appearance of the golden light column.

It has been several hours since the phenomenon appeared and it has not disappeared.

Although the Supernatural Power Administration has sent people to investigate, the location where the golden light column appeared is deep in the wilderness. On the way to the investigation, it was blocked by the strange beasts and could not continue the investigation.

According to the situation learned by the news anchor, the Supernatural Power Administration is discussing this matter and is preparing to arrange a stronger investigation team to investigate.

After reading the news, Lin Li immediately got up and went to the balcony.

The orchid sent by Su Yue and the spiritual plant transplanted by Lin Li were swaying in the wind. Lin Li glanced at the two pots of plants and looked into the distance.

On the horizon, a golden light column that went straight to the sky was extremely conspicuous. As long as you are not blind, you can see this strange phenomenon.

Lin Li raised his hand and touched his chin, looking at the direction where the golden light column appeared, muttering to himself, "Isn't that direction the direction where the treasure may appear?"

"Is this golden light column related to the so-called treasure?"

Lin Li thought for half a minute, and he decided to log in to the exotic beast hunter forum to see if his peers had any information about the golden light column.

He thought about it, and the mobile phone placed on the mysterious island instantly appeared in his hand.

"Ding Dong..."

The mobile phone rang several times as soon as it appeared. Lin Li had seen this situation many times, so he was not surprised.

He glanced at the message, immediately filtered out those boring spam text messages, and opened the social software to see the content sent by Su Yue.

"I saw the golden light column you mentioned..."

Lin Li replied to the message, and a few seconds later, Su Yue responded.

"You're back?"

"Yeah, I just got home."

"After the golden light column appeared, I always felt that something bad was going to happen."

"Don't think too much. If something really happens, the Supernatural Administration will handle it."

Lin Li chatted with Su Yue for a few words and made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening. Then he logged into the Monster Hunter Forum to look for useful information.

He flipped through the posts posted by his peers. Although many posts were about the golden light column, they were all ordinary content and had no value at all.

"It would be strange if these people didn't go to the scene of the incident to investigate in person." Lin Li read some posts posted by his peers and didn't gain much, so he complained.

"The sun will set soon, so forget it today.

If the golden light column doesn't disappear tomorrow, I'll go see what's going on."

Lin Li was curious about the cause of the golden light column. After making a decision in his heart, he retracted his gaze and returned to the room.

…………

In the endless wilderness, a team was moving slowly.

In this area with chaotic magnetic fields, the positioning equipment failed, and now the route can only be determined based on paper maps.

At the front of the team, Wang Jing, who was in charge of clearing the way, suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, the others stopped immediately, and then several investigators surrounded the researcher to guard against possible dangers.

"What happened? Is there an alien beast attacking?" The protected Zhao Dongsheng lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

Wang Jing shook his head, "I can't be sure whether it is an alien beast attacking.

I just sensed a flash of spiritual energy in front of me, everyone be careful."

The investigators responsible for protecting Zhao Dongsheng clenched their weapons and looked around with serious expressions.

Within the range of their mental perception, no psychic energy fluctuations were found.

But even so, they still did not relax their vigilance.

It has been two days since we came here to perform the mission and entered this area of ​​chaotic magnetic field. The team has not yet left this abnormal area.

Everyone originally thought that this area of ​​chaotic magnetic field should not be very large, and it would take some time to leave.

As long as you leave this abnormal area, you can use the positioning instrument normally. Then you can simply determine the route and reach your destination earlier.

However, things are not as simple as imagined. The area of ​​this chaotic magnetic field is so large that it exceeds everyone's expectations.

In two whole days, they had advanced at least 150 kilometers, but they still had not left the chaotic magnetic field. It was incredible.

According to some existing records, if there is an area of ​​chaotic magnetic field in the wilderness, you can escape by walking in one direction for at most twenty or thirty kilometers.

Now Wang Jing and his party have traveled 150 kilometers in two days, and are still in an area of ​​chaotic magnetic field, exceeding the limit of data records.

And the further you go, some of the topography will be different from the information on the map.

It may not be long before the paper maps they have are no longer useful.

"call……"

A breeze blew at the scene, and some of the surrounding flowers, plants and trees were gently swayed by the wind, making rustling sounds.

Wang Jing and his party stayed there and observed for a while, but found no trace of the strange beast, so the danger was temporarily relieved.

The tense atmosphere was relieved. Wang Jing, who looked serious, put away her weapon, turned around and said to her teammates.

"After walking for so long, everyone is tired. Let's take a rest first."

Zhao Dongsheng sat on the ground, took off his backpack and put it aside.

The other investigators took out water bottles from their backpacks and drank some water, while eating some energy bars to replenish their exhausted energy.

"Wang Jing." Zhao Dongsheng suddenly shouted.

When Wang Jing, who was drinking water, heard this, she raised her head and looked at the other person, and asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

"That..." Zhao Dongsheng pondered for a moment and said what he was thinking.

"I found that the surrounding topography is quite different from the description on the map. Did we go to the wrong place?"

Wang Jing frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and said slowly, "I determined the route based on some obvious reference objects on the map. The possibility of problems is very small."

After speaking, she looked at the other investigators, wanting to hear what these colleagues thought.

"Some of the reference objects are the same as those recorded on the map, but when I look at some scenery in other places, they are completely different from what is recorded on the map." One investigator said.

"I thought I remembered it wrong, but I didn't expect you to discover this anomaly like me." Another investigator said.

Everyone chatted for a while and found that everyone could see some abnormalities around them.

"..." Wang Jing was silent for half a minute, and then said, "You mean, we can't move forward?"

Everyone nodded, and Zhao Dongsheng said, "There is an abnormality in the magnetic field in this area. The area is so large that it is beyond people's imagination. If we continue to move forward, we may encounter great danger."

Wang Jing is the commander of this mission. It is up to her to decide whether to cancel the mission and return the same way.

It is clear that there is now a majority in favor of retracing our steps.

It's not that everyone is afraid and shrinking, it's just that because the way forward is unclear, if you continue to move forward, the probability of encountering danger is high.

If there are any casualties by then, it will be a meaningless sacrifice.

“If we had followed the original plan, we would have arrived at our destination by now.

Now that such a change has occurred, if we continue to move forward, whether we can reach our destination is another matter.

If any danger does occur and casualties occur, no useful information will be obtained. "Zhao Dongsheng analyzed.

His own combat power is very average, and he can only rely on investigators to protect him when in danger.

If they had known what was going to happen from the beginning, the investigators would not have taken him into action.

"Do you think the same as him?" Wang Jing asked other colleagues after listening to Zhao Dongsheng's analysis.

"Yeah." Several investigators nodded.

"Okay, since everyone has this idea, let's give up this mission and make long-term plans after we go back." Wang Jing said.

She is not a reckless person. Since the team members all feel that it is dangerous and meaningless to continue going forward, it is better to save their strength and return.

After returning to the Superpower Management Bureau, report what happened along the way to your superiors, then regroup and send a more powerful force to investigate.

It was unanimously decided to return. After the group rested, they packed up and set off.

Wang Jing still walked at the front of the team to clear the way, guarding against possible dangers.

Other investigators stood in different directions, protecting the most vulnerable Zhao Dongsheng.

The sun hanging in the sky moves slowly. Now Wang Jing and his group mainly rely on the sun to determine their direction.

It is approaching evening and the sun is about to disappear in the sky.

The setting sun dyed most of the sky red. At this time, the setting sun was supposed to be the time when tired birds returned to the forest, but no birds were seen in the sky.

In this area of ​​chaotic magnetic field, there are relatively few birds that can be seen.

Wang Jing and others were confused, but they didn't particularly care.

So far, they have not encountered any attacks from birds or beasts.

"The sun is going down, let's find a place to rest."

"I remember there was a hill in front of me, and when I was passing by, I found a cave there."

"You mentioned that hill. I also saw a cave. We can rest there tonight."

Wang Jing and his party discussed it and decided to speed up and rush to the hill in front.

More than half an hour later, the hill everyone was talking about was still missing.

"It's strange. We walked for half an hour. Logically speaking, we should have reached the foot of the mountain."

"Yes! Look at that tree over there. I remember that hill is right next to that tree."

"I also remember that tree and I used it as a reference to determine where the hill was."

Wang Jing and the others stopped and frowned at the big tree in the distance.

People who have an impression of hills cannot misremember the location of this big tree.

Using this big tree as a reference, it stands to reason that the hill has been seen, but so far no one has seen the hill.

"Do you have any clues?" Wang Jing turned her head and looked at Zhao Dongsheng.

"I have no clue." Zhao Dongsheng shook his head and said, "Everyone's memory cannot be wrong. It's really weird that we don't see that hill now..."

Wang Jing and his party stood there and looked around, hoping to find traces of the hill.

However, this search is in vain. If such a hill is nearby, it can be clearly seen with the naked eye.

Now I'm looking around carefully. If I don't see it, I just don't see it. There should be something wrong, but I can't know the reason now.

"How about we go under that tree and take a look, maybe we can find out the reason." Zhao Dongsheng suggested.

Others looked at Wang Jing, just waiting for her to make the final decision.

"Okay, just do as you say." Wang Jing had no other choice at this time. Zhao Dongsheng's proposal was not dangerous, so she agreed.

The area is relatively flat at the moment, with most of it being grass.

Wang Jing and his group walked towards the big tree in the distance. The road was very smooth.

After a while, they came to the foot of the big tree.

This tree is more than eighty meters high. It is very tall when viewed up close, and because of its vigorous growth, it looks like a huge umbrella stuck on the ground.

Such a conspicuous reference object must be deeply impressed after seeing it, and it is impossible to remember it wrongly.

Wang Jing and his party all have memories of this big tree. It's okay if one or two people remember it wrong, but it's impossible for everyone to remember it wrong.

So there is a hill next to it, not because of a memory error, but now that hill has disappeared, it can only be said to be caused by some external cause that everyone doesn't know about.
