Chapter 296: Chapter 295: It’s Truly Thrilling to Snatch and Run (Part 3)
Fang Zheng discovered a pattern—that whenever he triggered a task from the Main World, things never turned out well.
And it was the same at the moment.
“This damnable place is lethal!”
While grasping Tilia and swiftly dodging the huge boulders and houses falling from the sky, Fang Zheng also started to complain. His problem right now was not just the relentlessly pursuing waves and the warships behind him, nor the fallen boulders from the sky, but this world itself!
Just as Nymph had analyzed, after Fang Zheng had dismantled and taken the “load-bearing wall” known as the Eye of All Phenomena, the original plane projection suddenly began to merge with the concealed Main World. This also meant that the current state of both planes was disrupted, causing the space to fracture, and the very first victim was… the road that was becoming increasingly difficult to traverse!
“Where the hell should I go now?”
After dodging another house screeching down from the sky, Fang Zheng stared ahead, dumbfounded. According to his memory, there should have been a path ahead leading to the alley where he had initially teleported into this world. But now, in front of Fang Zheng, there were three forks in the road: one seemed to lead up a hillside, another led straight to a dock already submerged in seawater, and the last ended directly in front of a tavern?!
The entire plane’s space was shattered, which had also caused the current space to be extremely unstable, preventing Fang Zheng from returning along the original path by memory. Additionally, the paths in front of him kept changing unpredictably. One minute he might have been standing on a rooftop, and the next, when jumping down, he might end up at a dock or a mountaintop platform.
Although Fang Zheng could avoid danger in advance with Future Sight after shutting down the Eye of All Phenomena, it also caused him to circle back on his own track many times. If it weren’t for his pursuers being equally unlucky, Fang Zheng might have been surrounded by them already.
That was why Fang Zheng kept holding Tilia and never let go—if he did, who knows where his sister would be teleported to next moment, and then Fang Zheng would have no time to look for her. But for Tilia, she certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity. The little one was also tightly hugging Fang Zheng’s neck with one hand while gripping the umbrella with the other, occasionally striking back at their pursuers, proving their cooperation flawless.

For someone else, facing the constant spatial fractures at such a critical moment might be very difficult, even if Fang Zheng had Future Sight, he still needed to expend mental efforts to calculate which spatial fragment he should enter to maximize his speed.
But luckily, Fang Zheng had his own ways.
He reached out with his right hand, spreading it forward, and soon, that transparent chain reappeared from the palm of Fang Zheng’s hand and extended into one of the spatial fragments.
That’s the place!
Gripping the chain in his hand, Fang Zheng dashed into the spatial fragment in one swift step. The next moment, his figure flashed, and the ground that had been even turned into a towering tower, and his chain pointed southwest.
It’s over there!
Feeling the vibrations from the Little Angel through the chain, Fang Zheng didn’t hesitate and took off running forward again.
Indeed, this was Fang Zheng’s method to determine direction. By using the Free Method to mend the chain between him and the Little Angel, he could now use the chain to lock onto the location of the Little Angel. And that was precisely why he could use the chain to find the correct path in this chaotic spatial world.
But some people, at this moment, had not found the correct path yet.
“What in the world is this damnable place?”
Looking at the beautiful, clear seawater before him, Luden couldn’t help but rage. They had already been going in circles since arriving here, but for some reason, they simply couldn’t find any trace of their target—Let alone that, since wrecks weren’t uncommon in Soul Bay. However, the problem was, just now his captain had confessed that they had lost their direction!
Compasses, magic, all means of indicating direction had failed!
Luden originally thought this was just a minor inconvenience, but after making two rounds without finding a way out, he started to panic as well. Could it be that he was following in the footsteps of those before him, heading towards their doomed fate?
“Boom!!”
Just when Luden, trembling, began to consider whether he should immediately prepare his will, all of a sudden, he heard a loud bang near his ears. Following the sound, Luden felt the whole ship shudder violently as if it had been struck head-on by something, and he was thrown directly against the wall nearby… Luckily, Luden’s quick reflexes saved him from losing consciousness.
“Damn it—what the hell is going on?”
Rubbing his head, Luden clumsily got up from the ground, but before he could figure out what had happened, suddenly, a voice came from the watchtower.
“Report, land sighted ahead!”
“Oh? Show me!!”
Hearing this, Luden quickly stood up and clumsily took out a monocular from his chest to look ahead. Then his face brightened with joy, for through the monocular, not only did Luden see the distant Soul Bay, he also spotted his target—the ship was quietly moored there!
“Quick, move forward immediately! Block that ship, I’m going to report to the master!”
Having said this, Luden hurriedly turned around and dashed into the cabin in three large strides, while the captain glanced at Luden’s retreating figure, then gave the order.
“All hands, set sail, target straight ahead, prepare for battle!!”
Meanwhile, the people aboard the Black Crow Ship were still completely unaware that danger had already arrived. However, it was clear that the port in front of them was no longer safe.
“Miss Black Katie, when will Mr. Fang Zheng and the others come back…”
Standing at the railing, Nanali looked anxiously at the Soul Bay, while the faces of the others beside her looked just as uneasy. When Fang Zheng had ordered Black Katie to bring the others back earlier, other than Ogrande’s slight reluctance, the other two were relieved. The horrifying skeletons and eerie sounds in Soul Bay had frightened them, and they wished to return to the ship to rest and recuperate, so they quickly returned to the Black Crow Ship.
Of course, seeing the ladies return, Captain Fox curiously asked a few questions, but was scared into setting sail immediately after they exaggeratedly recounted the ghost stories. Lucky for them, they knew Fang Zheng and others hadn’t returned yet. Nevertheless, Fox had sent everyone to repair the Black Crow Ship, and the sailors, fueled by fear from the ghost stories told by Nanali and the others, started their repairs with frenzy.
But soon, the situation worsened—vibrations began around them continuously, and the sea water seemed to boil, bubbling up. Not only that, but everyone on the deck could clearly see the nearby Soul Bay as if crushed by some monstrous creature, the already scant ruins crumbled into debris, making everyone very frightened, fearing that their ship might also crumble into bits with a “bang”.
Fortunately, this anomaly seemed confined to the land and did not extend to the sea, so the people on the Black Crow Ship were relatively safe. However, the absence of Fang Zheng and others still caused much anxiety.
“What the hell is that man up to!”
At that moment, Ogrande bit her lip, glaring sullenly at Soul Bay.
“Isn’t he scared of dying? So foolish. What’s there to explore? I don’t believe there is anything more important than his own life. That stupid man!”
While staring at Soul Bay, Ogrande muttered to herself, oblivious to the fact that a short distance behind her, a man in oriental attire was watching her with a sullen expression. He cracked a faint smile, reaching into his sleeve to draw a sinister black dagger. Then, the man in oriental attire silently approached Ogrande from behind.
The next moment, he clutched the dagger in his hand and violently stabbed towards the woman in front of him.
