Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 167 The Secret Hidden in the Map

Nagi went to see the Fox King alone, leaving Lu He to wander around Hundred Steps Hill by himself.

This place is truly beautiful, with fresh air and a deep, clear blue sky. I can't even remember the last time I've seen such a pristine place.

Anyway, Nagi knew what she could and couldn't say, what she should and shouldn't say. In the first place, Lu He hadn't come to see the Fox King.

She watched the flamingo rolling and playing on the grass, and thought it was so cute that she wanted to pet it.

Of course, some of them also took human form and played with human gadgets.

Out of curiosity, she leaned closer and looked at the little human toys they were playing with, such as rattles.

Where did you get all this stuff from?

When asked, the little fox held up the rattle in his hand and offered it to Lu He: "Sister, do you want to play?"

"Haha, I don't play this game, but I'm curious where you guys got it."

"These were brought back by the uncles and aunts who went out."

"Out?"

"Yes, only the reserve team members of the Fire Fox here can frequently go out into the outside world."

"I see. But isn't this rattle drum a human thing?"

"Yes, yes, they always bring back lots of interesting things from humans."

This is new information. In the world of this comic, humans live a precarious existence, hiding in the borderlands of the Mountain and Sea Continent where there are no monsters.

They almost all lived like refugees, how could they possibly have these things? These little trinkets would only exist in an ancient city, with streets and markets.

"Are there other places like this on the Mountain and Sea Continent?" Lu He couldn't help but ask the little fox again.

The little fox shook his head, indicating that he didn't quite know. Then he raised his little hand and pointed: "Look at that uncle over there. Go ask him. He's from the reserve team."

Following the little fox's gaze, Lu He saw a handsome and dashing young male fox.

She stepped forward and bowed to the other person: "Excuse me, where should I look if I want to find a town inhabited by humans?"

"Oh, that's not the case on the Mountain and Sea Continent. Most of the humans who can migrate have gone to the Xuan Tian Continent. The only ones left here are the elderly, children, and the sick who can't walk," the male fox explained earnestly.

"If you want to find a place where humans live, you can go to the border between the Mountain and Sea Continent and the Xuantian Continent. There are many bustling towns there."

Isn't this comic supposed to be a monster saga set on the continent of Shan Hai? How did the Xuan Tian Continent suddenly appear? Does this even make sense? And I don't remember it being in the original comic.

"Why didn't you suggest I go to the Xuan Tian Continent directly, but instead suggested I go to the border between the two realms?" Lu He continued to try to clarify his doubts.

"No, that's where immortals live. If a demon beast goes there, it's practically courting death!" The male fox quickly warned her not to go looking for trouble.

No, no, no, this isn't right.

Lu He's mind was a bit of a mess. She stopped talking to the male fox and walked to the side, focusing her mind and opening the inner vision of the world map.

What comes into view is a long, unfurled scroll, a map of the entire Shan Hai Continent, stretching from north to south.

Lu He entered his inner vision and reached out to grasp both ends of the scroll.

Wait, this map can be expanded further!

It can be opened to the south, or it can be opened to the north.

How is this going.

Lu He simply pulled hard, pulling out a section of the scroll on his left.

Sure enough, we saw the Xuan Tian Continent.

However, this land lacks luster; only the mountains and seas possess luster.

What does it mean?

Suddenly, a line of small text at the top of the map caught Lu He's attention.

She looked closely and saw that the top of the Xuan Tian Continent map read "Beyond the Mountains Lies Immortal Mountains," while the Shan Hai Continent map read "The Legend of the Monsters of the Mountains and Seas."

What does that mean? This map isn't just from this one comic book?

"Looks like you've discovered the wonderful gift I gave you." The system's voice came at just the right moment.

"Is this a complete comic book map?" Lu He was still marveling.

"Not all of them, but many worldviews in the comic book world actually belong to the same dimension. The territories you see on the same map are interconnected."

Lu He continued to unroll the scroll when he suddenly saw a familiar continental plate.

There are the Kingdom of Joy, the Kingdom of Maple, the Kingdom of Horse Herding, and the Kingdom of Tongchi...

“This isn’t…” Lu He couldn’t hide her excitement.

"I know what you're thinking, but no way!" The system knew this guy was probably up to no good again.

"You'd better stay here and do your mission. First of all, you won't even make it across the Xuan Tian Continent; you'll be mercilessly killed by the cultivators..."

"Can't I take a detour?" Lu He refused to believe it.

"Take another close look at this map. Don't you notice that these world territories are all in a straight line?"

"But isn't the Earth round?" Lu He couldn't understand.

"...Don't you understand? The dimensions of this world are different from your original world. Your world's Earth is round. What does that have to do with this?"

"You mean, these comic book maps just make up a straight line map?"

"Yes, and it's a straight line with no end, no matter which direction the scroll is unfurled."

"How can there be no end?"

"As long as there is creation, there will be no end..." The system revealed the most important information: "Every dimension has creators, and the worlds they create encompass different dimensions, which may be lower than their own dimension or higher than their original dimension..."

"Why is this happening?"

"Because thought has no dimensions..."
