I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 258 Plan
No more fatal accidents occurred in the following days.

But everyone clearly felt that the search task was becoming increasingly difficult.

This area is no longer as smooth and stable as it used to be.

Many distorted areas, invisible to the naked eye, appeared in the space.

Some of the distorted locations are extremely chaotic and should absolutely not be touched.

Previously, an unlucky swarm of scout mosquitoes only got slightly close, and the moment they made contact, the entire swarm was teleported and torn to pieces by the violent spatial force.

Even a slightly larger creature would likely be torn to shreds if it dared to approach.

Some areas, however, are like a fork in the road leading to the unknown.

Only after you go inside will you know what's inside.

It could be a resource-rich "Shangri-La," or it could be a "dead end" leading to death.

According to Levin Mills, this area should be the location where this "space distortion" "just" occurred.

The internal spatial rules are not yet fully established, which is why such chaotic problems have occurred.

However, this meant that Jemin and his companions had entered a labyrinth made of space itself, filled with deadly traps.

Those who explore never know what they will encounter next.

This not only drastically increases the difficulty of searching, but also takes more and more time.

However, none of the wizards present complained.

After all, the more unstable and chaotic a region is, the more bizarre creatures and special resources it will have.

Although the search was extremely time-consuming, everyone gained a lot more.

Fortunately, the "Fireflies" acted as scouts to help them spot the pitfalls, so the wizards didn't suffer much loss.

As they collected more and more resources, the recruited wizards became more willing to use potions to restore their souls, which had been damaged by the mental impact of the soul contract.

The only troublesome thing is that the fat wizard who is the core of the investigation seems to be having trouble holding on.

During their rest tonight, the wizards gathered together, a rare occurrence.

After some exploration, Levin Mills discovered a relatively stable and large area.

He decided to have everyone go there to search tomorrow.

It was for this reason that the wizards had to gather together to rest and recuperate.

Following the spiritual guidance of the "Fireflies," Jieming arrived at the meeting point.

He initially thought it was all normal, until his gaze fell on the obese wizard, at which point he was startled.

Strictly speaking, there are no longer any "fat wizards" in Jack's team.

Instead, there was a wizard who seemed to have been drained of all his life force, as thin as a rake.

If it weren't for the fact that he could sense the weak soul aura on the other side and confirm that this guy was the same fat wizard from before, Jemin wouldn't have believed his eyes.

After scanning the area, Jemin quickly spotted Jack and quietly moved closer to him.

"You're here? I thought you were going to come later."

Upon seeing that it was Jemin, Jack instinctively greeted him. "Luckily, we encountered a spatial distortion yesterday, and we're now very close to the rendezvous point."

Jemin gestured with his eyes to the gaunt wizard and asked, "Senior Jack, what's going on with that guy?"

Jack followed his gaze, shrugged without any regard for appearances, and said with a nonchalant expression, "What else could it be? 'Firefly' has been consuming too much energy lately, so his flesh and blood can't keep up."

Jemin was shocked when he heard this!
He had indeed witnessed the process of the obese wizard creating the fireflies, but he had always thought that the way the wizard peeled off his own flesh and blood to turn it into mosquitoes was just a special storage method similar to "flesh compression".

Just like the armor Jack wore before, which could instantly expand into a huge humanoid fortress, it wasn't because he violated the law of conservation of mass-energy, but because the armor was equipped with "mechanical compression" technology.

Moreover, although the obese wizard was huge, the amount of fireflies he had consumed in the past few days far exceeded his own weight, so Jemin had never thought of it that way.

After all, even in an exceptionally developed wizarding society, spatial equipment capable of carrying living beings is extremely expensive, and ordinary low-level wizards simply cannot afford it.

Unexpectedly, it really was tearing off my own flesh and blood!
Jemin couldn't help but widen his eyes: "I never imagined... that someone would use such self-harming witchcraft. This is truly eye-opening..."

Upon hearing this, Jack couldn't help but glance at him, his expression unreadable.

"What's wrong?" Jemin noticed that his gaze was a little strange.

"No...it's nothing." Jack shook his head, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

Jemin looked puzzled, wondering what he had said wrong.

At this moment, Levin Mills also arrived and saw the miserable state of the "fat wizard".

His brow furrowed deeply as he stepped forward with concern and asked, "How are you? Can you hold on?"

The former "fat wizard," now a "emaciated wizard," forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

His voice was hoarse and weak, and his face was full of distress: "If the losses continue like this, I can only hold on for another thirteen days at most."

The other wizards couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly upon hearing this.

If that's the case, then their mission will fail.

However, the wizards who were temporarily recruited seemed quite calm, and could even be described as being in a good mood.

After all, they had gained quite a lot during this period. Even without receiving any mission rewards, they had made a fortune and were already very satisfied.

Levin Mills stepped forward, gently patted the gaunt wizard on the shoulder, and whispered a few words of comfort to him.

He then turned around and began to explain the search plan for tomorrow to everyone:
"Everyone, please be quiet."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

"I had previously done a preliminary check of the area we're going to search tomorrow."

“This area is different from the one we explored before. The overall height of that area is significantly higher.”

As Levin Mills explained, the group gained a general understanding of the area they would be exploring the next day.

If the area they had previously searched looked like a relatively 'flat' shape, then the area in front of them was an inverted 'trapezoidal' shape.

Not only has the height increased, but the area 'above' has also become wider.

Previously, when wizards needed to search, they only needed to arrange the objects in a horizontal line and push them across to cover all the areas that needed to be searched.

But given the current situation...
