Expert Dong's Journey to Another World
Chapter 291 Expert Dong's Journey to Another World
Last time, Jiang Yao was trapped in this strange area for more than ten days.
However, at that time, although he had been traveling in the jungle for a long time, he had been searching carefully in a certain area, and did not run in a straight line in one direction.
After all, all he wanted at the time was to find the strange stone again and return to his original position.
But now, he wanted to explore a wider range and see if this strange area really had no boundaries.
It took a whole day and they had already crossed hundreds of miles. Jiang Yao saw that the big trees around him were still gray and black in color, without any trace of green at all.
Walking among the mountains and forests, you can't hear the slightest sound of insects chirping, and there is no sign of snakes, insects, rats or ants.
As the sky began to darken, he found a big tree with a thick trunk and quickly climbed up.
After night falls, all kinds of powerful and strange creatures will walk among the mountains and forests, hiding in the dense tree canopies. It cannot be said to be absolutely safe, but it can avoid accidents as much as possible.
This was not the first time that Jiang Yao had spent the night in this strange forest. He was familiar with the place and had experience in this.
According to the light curtain panel, his lifespan is still thirty-four.
If the special state of the Yin Sha body lasts for three days, it will consume one year of his life.
It is estimated that after tonight, by tomorrow night, his life span will be reduced by one year, from thirty-four to thirty-three.
He had never seen any trace of the three-striped wild fruit that he had eaten last time. As for other treasures that could potentially prolong his life, he wouldn't recognize them even if he came across them, and he might have missed them completely.
"I have traveled such a long distance, but I still haven't reached the end of this forest. I don't know if the whole world is like this!"
"I only have about ten years left to live. I simply can't keep running like this endlessly."
"If I keep walking in one direction, can I get out of this area? For this matter, I will spend at most two years of my life."
"By that time, if there is still no result, I can only go back the same way and return directly to the real world!"
With a bit of helplessness, Jiang Yao sighed.
Knowing full well that this strange place was extremely dangerous, he still plunged into it, simply wanting to take a gamble and try his luck.
It is indeed easy to find wild medicinal herbs of high age here, but these things can assist in cultivation and improve his strength, but they have no way of directly increasing his lifespan.
Unless he can find a relatively safe place where he can live a normal life without maintaining his Yin Sha body, otherwise, he will not be able to afford the little life he has left and will have to return to the real world in disgrace.

"Where is this? Even the leaves of this strange tree are gray and black. I have traveled all over the country for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen this."
"This tree is very valuable for research. Let's pick a few leaves as specimens."
"Coming here to Saigon and gaining this kind of experience is already worth it!" Shaking his head, Expert Dong felt that he seemed to be a little more sober.
They went into the Saigon jungle and searched for several days.
One morning, wisps of white mist suddenly rose from the jungle, and then he began to feel dazed and confused.
By the time he regained self-awareness, it was already now.
As an ecologist, although he mainly studies rural environmental issues, he must have some experience in botany.
He had never heard of or seen such a strange tree with even its leaves being gray and black before.
When he suddenly saw such a strange tree in front of him, his attention was naturally drawn to it at the first moment.
After picking two leaves, he was about to put them away when he suddenly discovered that the backpack he had been carrying on his back, which contained food and various other tools, had gone somewhere and was completely gone.
He had no place to put the two leaves he had just picked. After thinking about it, he finally put them in his trouser pocket.
"What's going on? How come these strange trees with gray and black leaves are everywhere in the mountains?"
The light around was always dim. After Expert Dong put away the two leaves, he looked around.
When he realized this fact, he was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
As he moved his feet and prepared to walk forward, he suddenly realized that the place where he was just now seemed to be on a grave.
The graves of varying heights standing on the ground seem to be not just one or two, but in large groups, everywhere, and no one knows how many of them there are.
Expert Dong couldn't control himself at all and shivered several times. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard several times.
The waves of severe pain clearly proved that he was very awake and not in a dream at all. "Could it be that this is no longer the jungle in Saigon, but a real other world?"
"Before we came to Hong Kong, our superiors told us when they gave us the mission that the jungle here might be connected to another world."
"The leader will definitely not joke about this matter. Exploring the other world is the ultimate mission given to us by the higher-ups."
"Before, we were skeptical about this matter, simply because we had not experienced it firsthand."
"Then now..."
After a brief panic, Expert Dong took a deep breath and finally reacted.
He looked at the piles of graves on the ground beneath his feet, and then at the various plants around him that he had never seen before.
"Another world, absolutely a real other world!"
"Every grain of sand, every blade of grass, and every tree here has great research value."
"As one of the first people to enter here, I've made a fortune. I've really made a fortune this time."
"As long as I can research something here, it should be almost certain that I can become a member of the Academy of Sciences."
Thoughts kept popping up in Expert Dong's mind.
Thinking of the excitement, his face was filled with joy and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
In this dead silent forest, there was no other sound at all, only his loud laughter kept echoing around.
"No, that's not right. There were at least 20 or 30 of us in that group. After entering the Saigon jungle, although we separated and searched everywhere, the distance between us was not far at all."
"I'm confused and can't remember how I entered the other world, but logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't happen to only me!"
"Since I'm here, where are the others?"
Patting his forehead, Expert Dong suddenly remembered this matter.
He was alone in this silent and unknown place. After a brief moment of excitement, his heart began to be anxious again.
At this time, he naturally hoped to find other companions and gather together for warmth.
"Lao Fang... Lao Zhao... Xiao Li... are you there?"
With eyes wide open, Expert Dong looked around for a while.
Although he didn't see any other figures except himself, he still opened his mouth tentatively and shouted to the people around him.
"Puff..." a muffled sound.
Although the sound was not loud, it seemed so harsh in this dead silent forest.
Expert Dong looked over where the sound came from.
A crack suddenly appeared on a small grave mound about ten meters away, and a humanoid monster covered with green hair had already crawled out of it with most of its body.
“Oh my god…” With a scream, Expert Dong’s face turned pale and he was so scared that he peed his pants.
With a panicked look on his face, he ran away.
However, he had only run a few steps when he stumbled and fell to the ground.
At some point, two skeletal arms stretched out from the ground beneath his feet.
Not only were expert Dong's feet tightly held by the skeletal arms, but each of his finger bones were deeply embedded in the flesh of his calves.
Bright red blood kept gushing out from his legs, and the ground beneath his feet was dyed blood red.
In broad daylight, the monsters are not actually active and are basically sleeping.
But now, after smelling the blood, one strange creature after another crawled out from the grave and rushed towards Expert Dong.
"You... don't come over here..." His voice was trembling. He just cried out miserably, and more than a dozen strange creatures rushed forward and completely submerged Expert Dong.
