Exile Zone had already become a memory.
Gazing into the vast expanse of yellow sand where Exile Zone once stood, Yi Tianchen first reported the good news to Liu Yuhan. After taking a ten-minute break to rest, he then set off towards the forest, which was not far away.
However, according to the Old NPC, although the Bloodshade Forest was still under the control of the Undead, it had been completely sealed off by humans. It resembled a castle surrounded by a siege, or to put it bluntly, a massive prison.
Since ancient times, people have always tried to escape from prisons, yet Yi Tianchen was heading into one. But this prison was no ordinary one; simply causing some trouble wouldn’t work here.
“Rustling…”
Stepping on the soft grass and illuminated by the moonlight filtering through the leaves, Yi Tianchen cautiously made his way through the Bush and thorns in the Vast Forest. Strange sounds occasionally echoed from the dark depths, creating an eerie atmosphere at night.
After adjusting his breathing, Yi Tianchen analyzed the map and deduced a rough area—this was the deepest part of the entire forest. According to general theory, if the Blood Phantom Alliance truly existed, this would be the most likely place to find them.
Finally, after carefully walking for half an hour, he heard a “ding” in his ear---
System Notification: You are about to enter a special area [Bloodshade Forest]. Once you enter this area, you will no longer receive any faction protection!
“Ha… faction protection? I lack nothing but that!”
With that remark, Yi Tianchen strode forward. Climbing over a small hill and peering through the dim light, he spotted a camp not far down the slope, illuminated by about ten torches. However, there was only one tall figure within it.
There were actually people here?
A thought crossed Yi Tianchen's mind as he quickly concealed himself. Clearly, these must be soldiers sealing off the Bloodshade Forest, but this figure did not seem like an ordinary soldier; there was an air of command about him.
Speculating further would be pointless; the best approach was to get closer and gather information. Carefully weaving through the trees and using the dense Bush for cover, Yi Tianchen soon found himself within twenty meters of the camp and could see everything clearly.
The camp itself was not large—about fifty square meters. Aside from a simple thatched hut, some dilapidated wooden tables and chairs, and a broken weapon rack, there stood a large polished stone with “Sharp Blade Camp” intricately carved into it.
Yi Tianchen was speechless as he raised his hand and accurately cast the Identification Technique.

……
“Wow… an 80-level Celestial Boss!” Yi Tianchen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions; this was something that could drop a Celestial Artifact!
If only he could take it down.
As Yi Tianchen indulged in his fantasies, perhaps too deeply, he suddenly burst into laughter without warning. Just then, he heard a tearing sound as lightning approached with a whoosh. With a soft thud, the Bush in front of him was instantly shredded into bits.
Fast! Accurate!! Ruthless!!!
Not far ahead, Captain Mondanqi of the Sharp Blade Camp stood like an iron tower, wielding a sword in one hand. A chilling voice echoed from within the helmet that enveloped his entire face. "Who dares approach? How dare you trespass into my Sharp Blade Camp? State your name at once!"
"I'm one of your own! I'm one of your own!" Yi Tianchen raised his hands in surrender and pointed to the Southern Wilderness City Warrior Medal still intact on his right arm, gathering his courage to step forward. "I'm an adventurer from Southern Wilderness City, really!"
"Hmph! There are two types of people I despise most in this world: those without strength who love to show off, and those who lack common sense and speak grandly."
"…"
"The Southern Wilderness City is a hundred and eighty thousand miles from here. Are you saying you've flipped over and come here?" Captain Mondanqi's tone was cold, and a hint of murderous intent began to seep through. With a swing of his sword, he shattered several bushes a few meters away. "Dare to deceive me? Speak the truth!"
"…"
After being silenced twice in a row, Yi Tianchen was furious. Was it just about being killed instantly? Had he not experienced that feeling enough already?
"Damn it!"
With a roar, Yi Tianchen charged to the side, but just as he moved, a tall figure intercepted him. The sharp light of the sword danced in the air, accompanied by a cold voice. "You insignificant wretch, how dare you invade my Sharp Blade Camp? You seek death!"
-36550! Just a normal hit!!
The terrifying strength caused Yi Tianchen to be instantly killed again without any pain. His body felt light as the prompt asking whether he wanted to resurrect appeared before him.
But…
At that moment, Yi Tianchen suddenly noticed a blood-red line glowing less than twenty meters ahead of him. It extended long and twisted across the ground like a rope, leading into the depths of the forest where his vision could not reach.
Was this… the boundary line of Bloodshade Forest?
With this thought in mind, Yi Tianchen felt a surge of happiness. It was only a distance of twenty meters; he would first charge into the Bloodshade Forest. After all, the Sharp Blade Camp was established beyond the boundary line. In other words, would Captain Mondanqi of the Sharp Blade Camp actively cross the border?
Undeniably, this was a hypothesis worth testing!
Glancing back at the ever-watchful Captain Mondanqi of the Sharp Blade Camp, Yi Tianchen simulated a specific course of action in his mind. He chose to revive and turned around, activating his skill Savage Charge at the moment when Captain Mondanqi's fierce sword light descended.
"Whoosh..."
Thirty yards was enough for Yi Tianchen to cross the boundary line and successfully enter the Bloodshade Forest. However, entering the Bloodshade Forest was merely the first step. The crucial second step was to verify whether Captain Mondanqi of the Sharp Blade Camp would continue to pursue him.
Turning around, he saw the formidable Captain Mondanqi had somehow moved closer, now standing right next to the boundary line of the Bloodshade Forest. Cold eyes shot out from beneath his helmet, and the knuckles of his tightly gripped sword handle cracked ominously, revealing his anger.
But it was just anger; he did not move an inch!
Yi Tianchen felt a surge of joy within. His initial hypothesis seemed to have been confirmed: as long as he did not step outside the boundary line of the Bloodshade Forest, even though Captain Mondanqi was powerful and imposing, he could no longer pose any threat to Yi Tianchen.
After all, there was a higher authority known as System rules...
