Chapter 1290: Collecting Puzzle Pieces, Latitude and Longitude Coordinates (5k)

As the drizzling rain fell from the sky, a feeling of extreme familiarity surged in his heart, and Wen Yan suddenly understood who it was.

It was someone he hadn’t seen yet, someone unknown, characterized by the manifestation of rain whenever their power appeared.

The first instance was the erasure of everyone’s memory regarding the Junior Temple Priest, and seeing it again later was inside Auntie’s Ancient Dream, within a puzzle swept by a sandstorm, where drizzling rain began to fall and Auntie reached out a hand to pinch off the rain.

Then she made gold coins explode, casually giving them to Wen Yan, allowing the progress of Wen Yan’s Calamity Protector Water Official Talisman to advance a bit.

Wen Yan had not seen the person, unsure if they were human or ghost, and never imagined he would meet the real deal within this puzzle.

The information obtained this time was too important, the previously attention-seeking Huang Pi Zi was no longer the focus.

The light rain fell, leaving Wen Yan no time to think too much, as everything within sight started to blur in the rain.

Wen Yan could also feel his impression of this place beginning to show signs of blurring.

He immediately pulled out his phone, quickly bringing up the image of a giant beast with a shortcut key, glancing at it, the odd feeling of disgust surged in his heart, and the initially blurred things suddenly started sharpening, like an image initially lowering pixel resolution, suddenly becoming more defined, some angles becoming clearer.

Wen Yan endured this feeling of disgust, lifting Er Jingong, and the Gray Cloth immediately tightened, wrapping up Er Jingong. Without doing this, when Wen Yan’s speed exploded to the limit, the instantaneous acceleration generated would instantly kill someone ordinary of Er Jingong’s age.

With one step, Wen Yan appeared at another tree a dozen meters away.

At the same time, the tree where Wen Yan was standing before suddenly shattered.

As if suddenly subjected to immense force, unable to withstand it, it started to shatter from the inside out.

A huge serpent’s tail almost appeared out of thin air there, striking heavily on the giant tree.

As Wen Yan watched, that huge serpent’s tail gradually disappeared in the rain, as if it had never appeared.

Wen Yan saw the person, wearing a plain-colored robe, with a thin face, a beard, hair tied in a bun, and a curved bone inserted in it.

He saw Wen Yan, with a cold expression, remotely stretched out a hand, gently flicked it, and the drizzling rain in the sky suddenly accelerated as the wind blew, transforming into massive raindrops falling from the sky, swept by the wind towards Wen Yan.

Raindrops the size of broad beans hit the branches and leaves in the forest, creating a chaotic clatter with huge pieces of leaves getting smashed directly, turning into fragments falling across the sky.

Dense pits and marks appeared on the branches and trunks, and Wen Yan didn’t resist, seeing no need to do so, as he turned to leave.

Landing on the ground, each step covered a distance of dozens of meters, taking one step, he couldn’t help but gag, running while vomiting.

From a distance, the man watching this scene was taken aback, as he hadn’t seen such a situation before.

While he hesitated, Wen Yan had already taken two steps for every three, quickly rushing to the edge of this puzzle.

The massive raindrops in the sky had now turned into a torrential downpour, gathering vast amounts of water vapor, the distance between each raindrop becoming closer and closer, gradually resembling a celestial leak, with waves of water descending from the sky, covering the world.

Those water waves gathered and continuously swept over Wen Yan, the front water sweeping over, followed closely by the back water, almost dragging him into a vast and turbulent river.

Wen Yan’s expression remained the same, directly engulfed by the rainwater, charged into the fog on the edge of the puzzle.

As though taking a stride forward, he appeared on the grassland.

He opened his mouth and spat out some rainwater, as behind him in the fog, a new puzzle piece started connecting over.

Much like two unrelated puzzle pieces being pieced together with a connection, the fog between them began to gradually dissipate.

Wen Yan’s feet didn’t stop, running straight towards the distance.

Previously, he speculated that entering any Ancient Dream puzzle was purely based on connection; he didn’t enter through normal means, and since the entering method was basically non-reproducible, he had been here twice, Auntie also gave him the exploding gold coins, logically the previous connections weren’t deep, but now they were indeed quite deep.

After Er Jingong passed out, the person who could create the largest connection was indeed Wen Yan.

His speculation wasn’t wrong, but this might also just be a stroke of luck, the summarized principle may not necessarily be correct.

He headed straight towards the direction where Auntie appeared, and the rain behind him started showing up.

Then, there was no more.

When the rain appeared, the sandstorm seemed still at the very distant horizon, and Auntie’s figure was not in sight yet.

Yet when the rain appeared, preparing to sweep across, the torrential rain seemingly encountered a Natural Enemy, not advancing ten meters before being forcibly evaporated.

Utilizing that slight connection, the puzzle that was connected to this area hadn’t yet pieced together with it, started extreme compression, gradually transforming into a puzzle piece flying away, and getting swept into the distant sandstorm.

Watching this scene, Wen Yan paused his steps.

Exactly as he thought, he had been pondering how those puzzle Ancient Dreams wrapped inside the sandstorm came to be.

He guessed that Auntie here should have been at the last moments of her life, it seemed too buggy, this incredibly influential event definitely had an Ancient Dream, and the Auntie inside that Ancient Dream couldn’t possibly be like an ordinary projection.
