After leaving the ruins, Xu Tiancai and the others continued their journey through this mysterious world. They walked along a rugged path, the surrounding scenery growing increasingly bizarre. Strange flashes of light streaked across the sky from time to time, as if some mysterious power were surging beneath the surface. The plants by the roadside had also grown more grotesque; some resembled twisted tentacles, while others flickered with an eerie phosphorescence.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a small town. The town looked somewhat dilapidated, with old houses and very few pedestrians on the streets. However, they could sense that some untold secrets lay hidden here.
Stepping into the town, they noticed wariness and fear in the eyes of the townspeople. Xu Tiancai stepped forward to ask an elder about the situation of this world. The elder hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking: "This world was once peaceful and beautiful, but ever since the Dark Power rose, everything changed. We live in fear, never knowing when disaster will strike again."
