With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods
Chapter 537 Exploring the ruins

Chapter 537 Exploring the ruins

"Minor World!" All of the elders repeated in shocked voices.

Then they all looked down at the hole that was under them with looks of disbelief.

When they had watched Lin Fan fall down into this hole, they had seen him suddenly disappear.

They had thought that it was just because he had fallen out of their range of sight, but it turned out that it was because he had been transported. There was most likely some kind of array placed at the bottom of this hole that transported people to the Minor World.

Was this a prank from the person who left these ruins or some kind of defensive system?

After all, it would take courage to jump into the bottomless void like this.

This could be used as harassment or as a way to dissuade people from entering the Minor World.

But if it was used to dissuade people, then that wouldn't make sense.

The only one that could open this door was the one that possessed this jade pendant.

So that would mean that there was no need to guard against the person who opened it. There was no need to keep them from entering the Minor World since they were the one chosen to accept the inheritance.

That meant that the only thing this could be was…harassment.

With this, they were able to figure out the personality of the person who created this place.

This person was someone that liked to play around a lot, even at the expense of the person they were playing tricks on. Even if that person was the one that he wanted to come to this place.

So it was clear what was waiting for them in this Minor World…

When they realized this, all of them revealed bitter smiles.

But in the end, it wasn't as if they could just abandon this place because of this.

They had done all that work to replace this place, it felt a bit hollow to leave this place without even exploring it a bit first.

If they left empty handed, it really was not something that they could accept.

So the elders all looked at Lin Fan, waiting for him to make a decision.

But Lin Fan had his brows knitted as if he was thinking about something.

He knew what the problem with this place was since he wasn't a fool.

It was just that he was in charge of all of their lives as the sect master, so he couldn't make a hasty decision.

But in the end, he decided that it was worth the risk.

This was something that the system had classified as a side mission, so the rewards wouldn't be small. This was something that was worth risking his life on.

So Lin Fan said, "We'll still explore these ruins."

None of the elders were surprised by this decision and revealed determined looks on their faces.

Since the sect master had spoken, there wasn't anything else for them to say.

All they needed to do was follow his orders.

Senior Brother Ying was the first one to speak as he asked, "Sect master, did you replace anything when you went in earlier?"

Lin Fan shook his head as he said, "All I did was search the area where I landed and found the exit portal. As for what was around me, it was a forest that seemed to have different things hiding in it."

Senior Brother Ying gave a nod in response to this.

Then as if he remembered something, Lin Fan said, "Right, there was a clearing near the exit. So if we want, we can create a base camp there for our explorations."

When they heard this, the eyes of the elders all lit up.

This was very valuable information.

They had been prepared to create a base camp by this entrance and then use that as a base to search the ruins. But if they were able to create a base camp inside of the ruins, that would be even better for them.

After all, creating a base camp inside the ruins was very different from creating a base camp outside.

Creating a base camp outside was much riskier since it would be easy for them to be spotted out here with a large camp.

They didn't know who was watching them and the moment that their camp was found, there would be no doubt that people would come to investigate.

When that happened, it would be hard for them to keep this place a secret.

Plus it was different exploring with a camp and without a camp.

With a camp, they would be able to rest and explore at their own pace, which would be much more effective.

So they were very happy about the information that Lin Fan had brought back.

Since he told them this, there wasn't any time to waste.

It was better to act first and then think later in this kind of scenario.

The elders gathered around the hole and looked down at it before…suddenly jumping in.

They jumped into the hole one after another and disappeared before reaching the bottom.

After the elders had gone in, the disciples looked at each other before following after them.

Since the elders were already paving the way for them, what was there for them to hesitate.

In no time at all, Lin Fan was left there standing alone with a bitter smile on his face.

No one even cared about him as they all jumped in by themselves, leaving him standing there all along.

In the face of these treasures, it seemed that he didn't matter to them.

Still, Lin Fan didn't take it to heart as he just shook his head with a smile on his face.

In the end, he also jumped down into the door.

When he jumped in, it was as if the door sensed that there was no one else left in the area, so it suddenly closed itself. The foliage that had been removed suddenly grew back once more and the door was hidden.

It might seem simple, but unless one knew what they were looking for, it wasn't that easy to replace this door.

After he entered the Minor World, he found that everyone had already started busying themselves.

They had arrived in the same space that he had been dropped in before.

The space where he landed had been cleared.

There was even a clear marker placed around this space to show that this was where they entered from.

Judging by the crushed grass, it seemed that there had been a mess when they all landed together. That was most likely the reason why they had marked out this area where people entered this Minor World from.

Around this area, they started pitching tents and preparing other facilities.

They also made sure to put some defenses around the portal that he had taken before since it was their only way back.

Lin Fan had to admit that they worked quite well even when he wasn't there.

But then again, that wasn't strange since he wasn't there most of the time.

Lin Fan was someone that had traveled a lot in the past and had left things in Senior Brother Ying's hands when it came to the Love Sect.

It only made sense that he would be able to do all this while he was gone.

When they saw that he had arrived, Senior Brother Ying called him over to where the elders had been gathered.

It had mainly been the disciples who were working on preparing the base camp.

The elders had all been gathered by the edge of the woods and seemed to be searching for something.

When Lin Fan came over, Senior Brother Ying said, "It's no use, we can't search this area at all. It's as if there's something blocking our spiritual senses."

Lin Fan gave a nod when he heard this, but he didn't replace it strange.

After all, it would be too easy if they could use their spiritual senses.

So it only made sense that there would be something that was preventing them from using them.

But since they couldn't use their spiritual sense, that meant that they would have to do this the old fashioned way.

They didn't know what was waiting in the forest for them, so they had to slowly explore while making sure that they would be able to return to the base camp.

So Lin Fan decided that they would form five different groups.

One group would be for staying in the base camp and watching over the camp, while finishing up the preparations.

The other four groups would spread out in four different directions around the base camp.

Each group would go in a cardinal direction and spread out to see what was around them. At the same time, they would spread out bit by bit as they moved further away from the camp.

That way, they would be able to sweep the surrounding area.

Of course, they would all be tied to a single rope that the leader would have, that way they would be able to replace their way back.

The elders all agreed to this plan since it seemed like a very reasonable plan.

They approved of his idea of slowly exploring this place since they had no idea what was waiting out there for them.

It didn't take long for the elders to divide themselves and the disciples they brought along were their own disciples.

Lin Fan chose to head north since that was the direction that his instincts were telling him to go.
