章節 1096: Outline Of A Plan

Jake never once changed his course as he made his way back up, staying on the most direct path aligned with his starting tributary. From the lower reaches, through the middle, to the higher reaches, at each junction, he encountered numerous other tributaries merging with his own. Or was it the other way around?

Regardless, he maintained the same direction, deliberately avoiding visits to the other adjacent branches of the Lumyst River. This likely spared hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of enemy Players, but even in showing this mercy, or perhaps laziness, he still wiped out half a million, at least. It was a severe blow to the Players of the Lustra Plains.

This was partly because, as he ascended the Lumyst River, all tributaries eventually joined, increasing the likelihood of encountering Players from all over the continent seeking to bathe in its waters.
