Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Chapter 386: Chapter 385: The Broken Little Boat

Upon this investigation, Shen Han discovered the biggest problem he was currently facing.

It was his Storage Ring, which he had lost somewhere unknown…

Inside the ring, besides the clothes of Shi Yuezhu that he cherished, the only other important item was the Sound Transmission Magical Artifact.

The rest of the items were for daily necessities.

They weren’t particularly valuable, but under the current circumstances, they were especially important to him.

In the Land of the Far South, there was scarcely anything edible.

And throughout the dense forest, spores from various plants floated about, filling the air.

Since stepping into the dense forest, Shen Han had not stopped using the Unceasing Skill for a moment, constantly resisting the invasion of toxins.

Thinking of this, Shen Han decided to continue heading south.

Along the way, he encountered many purple poisonous entries, and Shen Han, as before, chose to extract the entries and continue moving forward.

This dense forest in the Land of the Far South bordered Great Wei to the north.

Heading east out of the forest led to the border of Yan Country.

The west was said to be a vast sea.

And further south, the records also described a vast sea.

However, these records were not very authoritative and could likely be fabricated.

Shen Han did not have many choices available to him now.

The eastern border connected to Yan Country, but with Luo Zuchen’s character, he would surely keep watch there incessantly.

Without a doubt, the edge of the dense forest in the Land of the Far South was likely being monitored by his Incarnation.

There were several records that confirmed the west ended in a boundless sea.

It seemed only by going south was there a glimmer of hope.

Carefully progressing for nearly six two-hour periods, Shen Han finally reached the edge of the dense forest.

The southern edge of this dense forest turned out to also be a sea…

The coastline had been eroded by the tides, and the edge by the sea had turned to sand, with no plants growing.

Shen Han walked toward the seaside; the seawater here was crystal clear, allowing one to see quite far down.

Yet, even though he could see so deep, not a single fish was in sight; the entire sea seemed devoid of life…

Shen Han searched for a broad leaf and scooped a spoonful of seawater.

He then observed it intently.

[Slightly toxic water]

Even the water around here is toxic…

He couldn’t possibly survive in a place full of toxins; even though he could extract entries, the air itself carried toxicity unseen.

Without the Unceasing Skill to shield him from toxic invasions, he might have already perished.

But even the Unceasing Skill couldn’t run indefinitely.

Standing up, Shen Han strained to look further south.

The weather today wasn’t good, and the distance was a bit hazy.

With this thought, Shen Han spent the night on the outskirts of the dense forest.

He found some water in the forest, extracted the toxic entries, and drank it.

The next day under clear skies, he finally spotted a rising peak to the southwest.

It appeared to be the summit of a tall mountain.

Perhaps there, he might find a way to survive.

To seek revenge, he first had to survive, continue cultivating.

Given time, he was confident he could surpass Luo Zuchen.

Thinking it over, Shen Han didn’t hesitate and began crafting a small boat.

Within a few two-hour periods, a [Battered Little Boat] was formed.

Shen Han didn’t hesitate further, extracting the [Battered] entry, making the whole boat at least look seaworthy.

After contemplation, Shen Han applied a [Sturdy] entry on it.

The sea was immense, as the saying goes, seeing a mountain could wear a horse to death from chasing it.

The mountain peak he saw might still be very far away.

Without much delay, Shen Han took up the oars and started rowing.

After using the Divine Abyss Formulas, he could step into the Fourth Grade realm at any time.

Upon entering the Fourth Grade, he could walk on air.

So crossing the sea, Shen Han was not overly concerned about his safety.

Occasionally there were waves.

The journey took full twenty two-hour periods.

As the little boat reached the middle of the sea, a layer of poisonous mist even spread, prompting Shen Han to activate the Divine Abyss Formulas, dragging the boat through it.

If not for the Unceasing Skill, this southward journey would have been deadly.

Gradually approaching the mountain, Shen Han finally glimpsed its full view.

This wasn’t a lone island or a single peak.

What lay before him was an expansive coastline, all indicating this was a mainland.

Setting foot on the shore, Shen Han immediately surveyed the surrounding vegetation.

[Lush Growing Plant], [Wilted Plant], [Ordinary Plant]…

Seeing these, Shen Han finally relaxed; this place was no longer engulfed in poisons.

Shen Han walked inland, finding some fruits along the way.

He filled his stomach, hungry for days.

After a brief rest, Shen Han continued deeper inland.

Soon enough, he saw several farms.

The crops grown there seemed different from those in Great Wei.

But seeing these farms, Shen Han finally felt a bit of relief.

Farms meant inhabitants.

This place was finally habitable.

Searching the surroundings, Shen Han indeed found a village.

Attempting to ask some questions, the villagers appeared full of caution upon seeing the stranger, Shen Han.

Aside from caution, there was a vague hostility.

Hearing Shen Han’s inquiries, several young men stepped forward, holding farm tools in their hands.

To Shen Han’s questions, they only responded with “don’t know” or “not clear.”

Clearly not wishing to engage with Shen Han.

Seeing this, Shen Han didn’t bother saying more to them.

He thought about gathering information later.

Finding a secluded spot, there was a large tree, its abundant foliage providing cool shade.

Under the tree lay a pile of withered leaves, which Shen Han used to cover himself.

He lay down on the ground with the earth as his mat and the fallen leaves as his blanket.

Escaping from the Land of the Far South, Shen Han felt as if his Unceasing Skill had made some progress.

The drowsy side effect still persisted, but it was no longer as severe as initially, when a slight use would lead to prolonged sleep.

But today, Shen Han intended to sleep longer than usual.

He hadn’t had such a relaxed rest in quite a while.

In the Land of the Far South, he always had to remain vigilant, wary of toxic invasions.

While on the boat, he never rested for a moment.

Moreover, having crossed to this toxic sea to another mainland, Shen Han didn’t believe Luo Zuchen could pursue him here.

In this place, he could find ways to attempt further advancement.

Perhaps he could even step into the Immortal Realm before returning to Great Wei.

In this unfamiliar land, he might be less constrained.

Thinking of this, Shen Han wasted no more time.

He then fell into a deep sleep.

Only in such relaxation could his body recuperate as much as possible.

Yun’an City, Shen Family.

Initially, after learning that Shen Han had been attacked and killed by Luo Zuchen, the Shen Family’s hearts swelled with joy, with some even saying the heavens favored the Shen Family.

Especially Madam He, who was so thrilled she wanted to dance.

Yet, Madam He never anticipated receiving bad news that very night.

Shen Ye’s right leg had been broken…
