Just as Chen Qinghan expected, we didn't reach our destination that day. We rested in the forest for a night and continued our journey early the next day. It was only by dusk on the third day that we finally arrived at the location marked by the coordinates.
Chen Qinghan said this place was near the Bear Country border. Further northwest, there's a vast plain of Bear Country, even more desolate.
Although tourism has developed here in recent years, it's all guided tours at specific spots, and tourists wouldn't come to this area.
Standing on the hill marked by the coordinates, Chen Qinghan looked around and set me down under a birch tree.
From an hour ago, I noticed that the surrounding trees were sparse, sick, infested, or withered, all around us.
Apart from little bugs, I hadn't seen any other animals. According to those tomb robbers, the energy of this place has been drained, making it unsuitable for living creatures.
