Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Back in the real world, Su Yang lived a life of farming and hunting. His Light Element Bracelet shattered after he signed a contract with Xiao Ju, but his Cloud, Air, and Mist elements remained at top levels. In his spare time, Su Yang would occasionally communicate with the Mist Sprites, getting to know many creatures on the island. With the Mist Sprites' help, he established relationships with various ferocious beasts on the island. At the same time, Su Yang took some time to visit the Wolf Tree Forest to check on the Ice Crystal Wolf Clan. The Ice Crystal Wolf Clan's revival was still ongoing, and Su Yang would occasionally bring some prey to help raise the Ice Crystal Wolves. He also dug a new pond for them to drink from. Because the original chieftain and core members of the rebuilt Ice Crystal Wolf Clan had all died, their hostility towards Su Yang had not been passed down, and the two sides lived in peace and reconciled.

After more than ten days of peace, Su Yang finished his work and went to a high place on the island to rest. This was a sea-view house that Su Yang had specially built. The sea breeze blowing in his face was very pleasant. Su Yang looked into the distance and suddenly saw a ship sailing on the sea, heading towards the island. Su Yang couldn't help but stand up. Thinking that he was seeing things, he rubbed his eyes and squinted to see. Sure enough, it was a ship.

Su Yang's permanent radar did not detect any approaching object, indicating that the ship was still some distance away. Su Yang visually estimated the direction of the ship's movement, which was heading towards the shelter. He quickly left the seaside house and headed towards the shelter.

During their journey, Su Yang summoned Die'er and Linglong and quickly said, "A ship is approaching us. We don't know if it's friend or foe, but we need to be careful. Die'er, please transform into a butterfly and help me find out their purpose. Linglong, the shelter needs to be hidden in the fog from now on so they can't find it. We need your illusion and concealment abilities."

"Okay, Master"

"Know it"

Linglong and Die'er answered one after the other.

Su Yang arrived at the shelter, and Ling Long immediately used her elemental power. Soon, a thick fog enveloped the shelter. Su Yang sensed for a while and found that the ship was within 300 meters of him. He then put on the camouflage clothing woven from the island's vines and took Die'er to hide in the jungle by the sea.

Before long, a wooden boat slowly approached the shore, its flags red and white. A man in armor, wielding a greatsword, disembarked. He first surveyed the area before calling to the others. Shortly after, another man in heavy armor, carrying a shield, jumped off and immediately went on alert. Then, three or four more people disembarked. Judging from their weapons and clothing, they were archers, doctors, and other professions. The group of six, after mooring the boat, set off towards the seaside jungle with their luggage.

Seeing this, Su Yang sent Die'er to transform into a butterfly and go to find out what was going on, while Su Yang followed behind.

The group explored the jungle for a while before stopping. They divided the work clearly: several men cut down trees around the area, while the remaining women built a camp. They quickly cleared an area and completed the camp, then lit a fire.

Su Yang observed from a treetop not far away. From the process of them cutting down trees to build their camp, he roughly figured out the group's class divisions and elemental attributes. Based on Su Yang's gaming experience, the six of them consisted of two warriors, one tank, one archer, one healer, and one assassin.

The two warriors use air and water elements respectively, the tank uses earth element, the archer uses fire element, the healer uses wood element, and the assassin uses cloud element.

Judging from Su Yang's assessment, the group seemed to be cooperating quite well, but they all seemed to have something on their minds, sitting around the campfire with worried expressions. It was getting late, and Die'er had quietly flown back. Su Yang thought that they probably wouldn't make any other moves tonight, so he left a ring of air elemental pods around their camp to monitor their movements before returning to the shelter.

After Su Yang returned to the shelter, he took over Ling Long's work, continuously activating the mist element to allow Ling Long to rest and recover. Then he asked Die'er, "How was it? Did you find out anything?"

Butterfly transformed into human form and said, "This group should be an adventurer team, a total of 6 people: 2 pioneers, 1 guard, 1 sharpshooter, 1 rogue, and 1 healer. They are from the Duchy of Paisen. Their main purpose in coming to the island is twofold: one is to find the material for making the mental power restoration medicine for the sharpshooter—the Vermilion Fruit, and the other is to improve the team's overall mental power level."

"The Duchy of Paisen? Where is this?" Su Yang asked, puzzled.

"The Duchy of Paison is located directly south of the Dragon's End Continent. It is the closest country to the Misty Island. This country is also the only neutral country on the Dragon's End Continent that focuses on trade. The country is at peace and has no wars, which is conducive to the lives of merchants."

Su Yang understood: "So, the team's sharpshooter suffered psychological trauma. What kind of situation can cause psychological damage?"

"It's possible that he was attacked by high-level elemental power and didn't receive timely treatment, or that he was forced to use his mental power for a long time and suffered a backlash, or that he used two kinds of mental power at the same time and couldn't control them, resulting in a mental breakdown. There are only three possibilities," Die'er said.

"Hmm...it seems this sharpshooter is either a newbie or a master." Su Yang muttered to himself, "In any case, let's observe for a while longer. If there's any potential threat, we should nip it in the bud."

What Su Yang meant by "strangulation" was more about using fog elements to surround them, break their confidence, and make them return on their own; he never intended to actually kill them.

The next day, Su Yang got up early and handed over the matter of hiding the shelter to Ling Long. Then he went to the team's camp again. The team hadn't left the camp all night, which meant they were really tired. So after a night's rest, they would definitely make a move today.

Upon arriving at the camp, the team prepared breakfast. After finishing, they set off deeper into the island, with Su Yang following closely behind, worried they might stumble upon the shelter by accident. The team remained silent throughout the journey. The woman carrying the bow and arrows, the sharpshooter, was supported by others, with the healer checking her condition frequently. After traveling about 5 kilometers, the team entered a deeper part of the island and began to encounter some threatening beasts. Through teamwork, they successfully repelled several attacks. However, they soon encountered a tiger-like beast radiating orange light. The beast leaped out of the jungle, roared, and charged at the team, its aura seemingly intent on annihilating them.
