With the help of the villagers and soldiers, Yang Fan did not immediately find any obvious clues or potential threats, but he knew that building power was not something that could be done overnight and required patience and strategy. Thinking about it, he was glad that he could use the Sky Island World as a transit station at any time to freely travel between the real world and the game world. This undoubtedly gave him more room for experimentation and adjustment, without having to worry about failures in exploration bringing permanent consequences.

However, Yang Fan's goal is not only to survive, but to pass through this world and complete the mission, which means that he must gain a foothold in this fantasy world and establish his own influence. He knows that in such a place full of unknowns and magic, personal or existing strength alone is far from enough, and he must seek alliances or integration with external forces.

"I need to find the 'key' to this world, perhaps a powerful force or a special resource that will allow me to gain a foothold here." Yang Fan muttered to himself. He began to consciously guide the villagers and soldiers to explore further, while he also observed the surrounding environment more carefully, looking for possible clues.

During the exploration, Yang Fan noticed that the vegetation in some areas of the forest was unusually lush and seemed to be regularly surrounding certain specific locations, which reminded him of possible ancient ruins or mysterious power centers. In addition, he also noticed the migration paths of some creatures, and guessed that these routes might hide important water sources, food sources, or territorial boundaries of other forces.

"To gain a foothold in such a fantasy world, in addition to strength, you also need wisdom and diplomacy." Yang Fan thought, and decided to start with small-scale contacts, trying to communicate with the creatures or forces he encountered, understand the rules and order of this world, and look for opportunities for cooperation. Perhaps, by sharing resources and achieving mutual benefit, he can open up the situation in this world more quickly and lay the foundation for establishing his own power.

In this way, under the guidance of caution and wisdom, Yang Fan stepped into the depths of this fantasy world step by step, starting his difficult journey of finding allies, building power, and ultimately completing his mission in this unknown area.

Yang Fan held his breath and concentrated. The effect of the invisibility potion made him like air, wandering silently near the entrance of this unknown cave. The whimpering sound made his heart tighten. Obviously, this was not a simple natural cave. There seemed to be someone inside, and he was experiencing some kind of predicament.

He approached slowly, trying not to make any noise, thinking to himself: "This voice sounds like a human, and it mentions the 'Slave Catching Group'. Does slavery exist in this world? Or is this a special situation setting?" Curiosity drove him to go deeper, and at the same time, his sense of responsibility and compassion prevented him from turning a deaf ear.

The sound of "woohoo" and the intermittent conversations came, and the conversation between a man and a woman gradually became clear. The man's voice revealed despair and helplessness, while the woman's response was firm and full of warmth. Yang Fan knew that intervening at this time might change their fate, but at the same time it might also expose himself to unknown dangers.

The moment he made the decision, he gently removed his invisibility, revealing himself, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help." His voice was gentle but firm, trying to give comfort and confidence to the people in the cave.

The conversation in the cave came to an abrupt end, followed by a brief silence, and then a burst of hurried footsteps, and a young man and woman appeared at the entrance of the cave. The man's eyes were full of vigilance, while the woman seemed a little surprised, but more of a ray of hope.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the man asked vigilantly, while unconsciously protecting the woman behind him.

Yang Fan smiled slightly, trying to make his posture seem harmless: "My name is Yang Fan, and I come from far away. I overheard your conversation by accident, and if possible, I would like to help you out of your predicament."

This simple exchange became Yang Fan's first direct contact with the local residents in this fantasy world, and also opened a new chapter for him to explore this world and understand its rules and challenges. In this fantasy world where the unknown and danger coexist, Yang Fan's fate is intertwined with that of the young man and woman. They face the upcoming challenges together, and Yang Fan's plan to build power and complete the task has therefore added more unknown colors.

Yang Fan was secretly surprised. The scene before him was beyond his expectations. In the real world or in the game worlds he had explored before, legendary creatures like elves only existed in myths and fantasy literature. Now, a living, injured elf actually appeared in front of him. This was undoubtedly a direct proof of the rules of the fantasy world.

He quickly assessed the situation and realized that time was running out and the arrival of the slave-hunting group could make the situation worse at any time. Yang Fan decided to take action. He said to the two elves softly but firmly: "Don't be afraid, I have a way to take you away from here. But we must act immediately." As he spoke, he took out a healing potion from his backpack and handed it to the injured elf, while thinking about how to transfer them safely without attracting outside attention.

The injured elf hesitated for a moment, but Jessica seemed to sense Yang Fan's sincerity and urgency. She quickly took the potion and fed it to her companion, nodding to Yang Fan with gratitude and trust in her eyes. Yang Fan quickly activated the invisibility potion to cover the two elves, ensuring that they would not be discovered during the movement.

"Follow me and keep quiet." Yang Fan instructed softly, and then led them to exit the cave carefully, avoiding possible surveillance and patrols, and heading in a direction he thought was relatively safe. He thought that this encounter might become an important opportunity for him to establish power in the fantasy world, and the friendly relationship with the elves would undoubtedly add a strong support for him in the unknown challenges. At the same time, he also had a deeper curiosity and desire to explore this world, determined to uncover more hidden secrets and complete his mission.

Yang Fan secretly weighed the pros and cons and decided to hold off for the time being and continue to observe in stealth. He realized that although direct intervention could solve the urgent problem, a head-on conflict with the slave-hunting group might bring him unnecessary trouble, especially when he was not clear about the specific rules and power distribution of this world. More importantly, he saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone - by rescuing the elves, he could not only win their trust and gratitude, but also gain the key help needed to build power.

"Patience is what we need most right now." Yang Fan muttered to himself, paying closer attention to the surroundings, ready to strike at the critical moment. He estimated the time when the slave-hunting group might arrive, and quickly planned the best plan for rescue and escape. In his mind, a series of strategic pictures quickly flashed by, including how to use the terrain, how to move quickly, and how to ensure the safety of the two elves without exposing themselves.

Time seemed to freeze, and every second was filled with tension and anticipation. Yang Fan used this time to quietly set up some simple traps and misleading measures, hoping to increase his chances of winning the upcoming conflict. He was nervous about the unknown, but also burning with enthusiasm to help others and build his own power.

Finally, there was a slight noise in the distance, which was the signal that the slave-hunting group was approaching. Yang Fan took a deep breath and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge with all his concentration. He knew that the action at this moment would be an important step for him in this fantasy world. He said to himself: "No matter what the result is, I will try my best."
