Lin Tian's eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought, "Time to test out my new Spatial Leap skill!"
He focused his mind, visualizing the destination he wanted to reach. He could see a large tree about 20 meters away, its branches swaying gently in the breeze.
Lin Tian took a deep breath, and then activated the Spatial Leap skill.
_System Response_
"Activating Spatial Leap... Teleporting to destination..."
Lin Tian's body began to glow with a soft, blue light. The air around him seemed to distort and ripple, as if reality itself was bending to accommodate his movement.
In an instant, Lin Tian vanished from his original location, reappearing beneath the branches of the large tree he had targeted.
Lin Tian looked around, grinning from ear to ear. "Whoa, that was awesome! The Spatial Leap skill is even more amazing than I thought!"
He took a moment to catch his breath, feeling exhilarated by the experience. The Spatial Leap skill was definitely going to be a game-changer in his future adventures.
Lin Tian continued on his journey, using the Spatial Leap skill to traverse the vast distances. He teleported from one location to another, his body blurring and reappearing in a flash of blue light.
As he traveled, the landscape around him changed. The dense forests gave way to rolling hills, and the hills in turn gave way to a sprawling city.
Lin Tian's eyes widened in surprise as he materialized on the outskirts of the city. He had not expected to encounter a city on his way to the ancient ruins.
The city was bustling with activity, people of all shapes and sizes hurrying to and fro. The buildings were a mix of traditional and modern architecture, with intricate carvings and ornate decorations adorning the walls.
Lin Tian's curiosity was piqued. He had not heard of any cities in this region, and he wondered what kind of people lived here.
He decided to take a short detour and explore the city. Maybe he could gather some information about the ancient ruins, or even find some useful supplies.
With a flicker of blue light, Lin Tian teleported into the heart of the city,
After an hour
Lin Tian's stomach growled with hunger as he walked through the bustling streets of the city. He had been traveling for hours, and the Spatial Leap skill had taken a toll on his energy.
He spotted a cozy-looking inn, with a sign that creaked in the gentle breeze. The sign read "Moonlit Haven" in elegant script.
Lin Tian's eyes lit up with interest. "Ah, just what I need," he thought. "A warm meal and a comfortable place to rest."
He pushed open the door and stepped inside, his eyes adjusting to the warm glow of the inn's interior. The aroma of roasting meat and freshly baked bread wafted through the air, making his stomach growl with anticipation.
A friendly-looking innkeeper greeted him, smiling warmly. "Welcome to the Moonlit Haven, young traveler! What can I get for you?"
Lin Tian's eyes gleamed with a fierce intensity as he spoke in a low, menacing tone. "Bring me all the best dishes you have. I want to taste the finest cuisine this city has to offer. And if you don't... if you don't bring me everything I desire... I'll unleash my true power and cut this entire city into oblivion."
The air seemed to grow thick with tension as Lin Tian's words hung in the air. The innkeeper and his staff exchanged terrified glances, their faces pale with fear.
The innkeeper and his staff stood frozen in terror, their eyes wide with fear. But then, Lin Tian's face suddenly broke into a wide grin.
"Haha, gotcha!" he exclaimed, chuckling to himself. "I was just joking, of course. I'm not going to cut your city into oblivion. I'm just a hungry traveler looking for a good meal."
The innkeeper and his staff breathed a collective sigh of relief, their faces relaxing from their terrified expressions. They couldn't help but laugh at Lin Tian's joke, relieved that they weren't in any real danger.
"Ah, sir, you have a wicked sense of humor," the innkeeper said, wiping the sweat from his brow. "We'll bring you our finest dishes, and we'll make sure to add an extra helping of humor to your meal."
Lin Tian chuckled and nodded, feeling pleased with himself for being able to bring some humor to the situation. He sat down at a table, eager to enjoy his meal and the warm hospitality of the inn.
The innkeeper and his staff quickly brought out a sumptuous feast, with all manner of delicious dishes. Lin Tian dug in with gusto, savoring the flavors and textures of the food.
As he ate, he struck up a conversation with the innkeeper, asking him about the city and its people. The innkeeper, whose name was Master Wang, was happy to chat with Lin Tian, telling him about the city's history and culture.
Lin Tian listened intently, fascinated by the stories and legends that Master Wang shared. He learned about the city's founding by a great hero, and about the magical artifacts that were said to be hidden within its walls.
As the meal drew to a close, Master Wang leaned in and said, "You know, Lin Tian, I think you might be interested in something. There's a rumor going around about a hidden temple deep in the nearby forest. They say it's filled with ancient treasures and powerful artifacts."
Lin Tian's eyes lit up with excitement. "A hidden temple, you say? That sounds like just the kind of adventure I'm looking for!"
Master Wang smiled and nodded. "I thought you might be interested. But be warned, the forest can be treacherous, and the temple is said to be guarded by powerful magical wards."
Hm? Intresting " Lin tian chuckled.
After a while
Lin Tian finished his meal, feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. He turned to Master Wang, the innkeeper, and said, "Thank you for the excellent food and hospitality. I must be on my way, though. I'm on a mission to explore the ancient ruins that lie to the east."
Master Wang nodded, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Ah, you're referring to the ancient ruins of the Lost City? Few adventurers dare to venture there, due to the treacherous terrain and the rumors of deadly traps and cursed artifacts."
Lin Tian smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "That's exactly where I'm headed. I've heard rumors of powerful artifacts and ancient knowledge hidden within the ruins. I aim to explore every nook and cranny, and uncover the secrets that lie within."
Master Wang nodded, impressed by Lin Tian's determination. "Well, be careful on your journey. The Lost City is said to be full of surprises, not all of them pleasant. If you need any supplies or information, feel free to ask."
Lin Tian nodded his thanks, stood up, and walked out of the inn, ready to continue his journey to the ancient ruins.
