Fortunately, this problem wasn't too difficult. Rin wasn't some pampered, delicate young lady. Due to Rin's own hunger, two innocent Snow Chickens met their unjust demise.
"How should I prepare them? Should I just eat them raw?" Rin muttered, holding the two confused chickens. She immediately shook her head. How could she have such a dangerous thought!
Dispelling her bloody and barbaric idea, Rin began to use Maguscraft to create water to clean and prepare the "carcasses" of the two Snow Chickens. After plucking their feathers and washing them three times, she carefully controlled the power of "Ignition" to roast the Snow Chickens.
It must be said that Maguscraft is truly convenient. Although it's said that Maguscraft cannot do what humans cannot do, which sounds frustrating, human technology can fly out of Earth and travel through space. So, if technology can do it, then Maguscraft can do it!
Like now, it can be a faucet, a gas stove anytime. To be more comprehensive: Wind Maguscraft can be a knife, Fire Maguscraft can be a stove for cooking, Water Maguscraft can be for bathing and even has freezing effects... If this were in my previous world, how much money would I save!
Under Rin's meticulous operation, two golden, glistening, shimmering roasted Snow Chickens, skewered on branches, were complete. Although the trope of "a dish that doesn't glow isn't a good dish" is a bit old, if it glows, it must be a good dish, right? Besides, don't transmigration novel protagonists all come with an inherent skill: EX-rank Barbecue?
So, Rin, full of anticipation and confidence, took a bite!
As expected, novels are all lies...
In her previous life, those time traveler seniors she read about, who always fell into deep mountains, old forests, and desolate wildernesses, could always casually grab an unknown creature they didn't recognize from some corner, roast it on the spot without washing or bleeding it, even without water, and it would taste unbelievably delicious. The beauties who were stranded with them would eat it and feel like they were in heaven and hell, thus taking the first step towards becoming a winner in life!
That was all nonsense… no salt, no oil, no seasoning, how could you roast it to taste good, show me!
The dry chicken meat felt like chewing wood chips. Besides a pure chicken flavor, there was no other taste. Although preserving the original flavor of food is an important guarantee for good cuisine, if only the original flavor is enough to make it delicious, then why did humans bother inventing the art of cooking?
After barely solving the problem of hunger, Rin began to truly face her current predicament. Where the hell is this?
Three small sections of ultra-wide-area detection!
The ultra-large spiritual detection net, propelled by Magecraft, rapidly expanded in a planar fashion in all directions. All the surrounding terrain appeared in Rin's mind as a conceptual map.
A few minutes later, Rin's detection range reached its limit and she had to stop. Rin rubbed her head, feeling a headache. She had already detected an area with herself as the center and a radius of three kilometers, but unfortunately, it was just jungle after jungle.
Helpless, Rin could only resort to the oldest, most effective, and most convenient method of finding her way. Rin knelt down resignedly and unzipped the long boot on her right foot. The exquisite and small black long boot was thrown high into the air by Rin!
That's right, it was throwing a shoe! It's a way to find your way anywhere. Whichever way the toe of the fallen shoe points, that's the way to go.
"Clatter."
Alright, that way it is.
Rin put her boot back on and walked in the direction the toe pointed. She trusted the direction her shoe guided her, after all, it was the one doing the walking.
Gradually, she didn't know how much time had passed... One thing Rin found very bizarre was that in this forest, the passage of time seemed very difficult to perceive. Even with her precise time perception ability, she couldn't accurately judge how many hours had passed since she started walking until now.
Besides that, she didn't know if this forest was too big or what, but after walking for so long, let alone the end of the forest, even the surrounding environment hadn't changed much. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't encountered completely identical scenery, she would have suspected that she had come to a forest maze, or entered some kind of mystical formation.
"Ah... damn it, what the hell is going on in this ghost place?!" After walking for a while longer, Rin finally couldn't hold back anymore. She started cursing in her mind, and once again released an ultra-wide-area detection on the spot. It was still just a jungle. Rin immediately felt that something was wrong and was about to fully unleash a fire spell to burn down the entire jungle when... "Hmm... what's that?"
Suddenly, Rin noticed that not far in front of her, in an area surrounded by several very thick oak trees, space seemed to twist. Although it was only a very slight instant, Rin's eyes were incredibly sharp, and she still saw it.
In a jungle where other trees grew to similar extents, these few gigantic oak trees, both in species and size, were too outstanding not to attract attention.
Rin's curiosity grew, and she couldn't help but walk forward. When she reached the vicinity of the bamboo forest, Rin frowned deeply, "Indeed... this place is really strange."
In front of Rin, the space enclosed by the several oak trees was neither a spider web nor anything else, but something similar to a water surface, only very, very faint. If one didn't look carefully, it would be impossible to discover.
"Is it a Bounded Field or something?" Rin wondered. She stared at it for a long time, but didn't feel any Bounded Field aura. Daringly, she gently reached out and touched it. The other side immediately rippled with a shallow wave. She pulled her hand back as if shocked by electricity. Rin was incredibly surprised, "Could it be that I fell into someone's Bounded Field... Is this thing the exit of this forest's Bounded Field?"
Rin reached out her hand again. The moment the ripples spread, a faint, almost imperceptible vibration of 2.9 rippled through Rin's body, and then a strange scene appeared!
One of Rin's hands suddenly disappeared, no longer visible to the naked eye. However, on the contrary, Rin didn't feel any discomfort or pain. She tried to clench her hand, and it still maintained a complete sensation... as if that hand had entered another space?!
"What in the world is this..." Rin was completely shocked. The appearance of this situation made Rin feel incredible.
In this Nasuverse, only that jewel old man should be able to manipulate space to this extent.
After hesitating for a while, Rin finally gritted her teeth and charged forward. Anyway, continuing to wander around like a headless fly wouldn't get her out, so she might as well take a gamble. Maybe it really was an exit.
