This Town wasn't in the Forest of Horrors but in a neighboring region, Hundred Bamboo. Great Qin got the news from a player.
This player had been lost for a few days, and he had been attracted over by a massive noise. He had followed that noise and discovered the Town – the massive noise was from the Village leveling up into a Town.
Afterward, the player returned to his system main city and sold the location of this Town for a high price.
The location of any villages or towns in the wilderness was very valuable, and many factions would spend a large amount of money to purchase such information. If they could take down that village or town, they would be able to obtain population, resources, and money – all of these were massive benefits.
