Chapter 926: Chapter 800: Traversing Within the Mist (2)

Only the white mist surrounding them emitted a faint glow, allowing them to see the space.

The hurricane’s gusts blocked the light from the mist, making the entire space unusually dark.

The hurricane carried sand and mud, occasionally hitting Kane and the others.

"So bothersome!"

As he spoke, Kane waved his hand.

A transparent barrier surrounded them, blocking the hurricane and the sand and mud from coming through.

"Dead silence, the death rules here are even more intense than the Mist Rule Space."

Kreya looked at the land full of cracks under her feet and the stone crumbling to dust in her hand.

"Indeed, outside the mist, it feels like we’re constantly walking within the Mist Rule Space."

After closing his eyes to sense for a while, Kane said.

This space resembles the mist’s rule space, though not all-encompassing, the efficiency of understanding rules should be about the same, especially the death rules, which are concentrated to the point of overflowing.

Quite similar to the information Gerry and Bagri provided.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt something, and more information appeared in their minds.

It was delivered by the mist.

To explain what they should or could do outside the mist.

Along with a plethora of spells and incantations gifted by the mist.

It was roughly to help them distinguish which spaces are useless and mark them for the mist to remove.

Just like the space in front of them, full of desolation. It’s a completely destroyed World Fragment, of no use.

Truly garbage.

Or entering some fragments might reveal dangerous events threatening ordinary lives, needing handling.

Once handled, the mist would grant rewards.

Basically, these two tasks.

And those spells and incantations are auxiliary means for completing these tasks.

"Though it’s garbage, as it’s the first World Fragment we’ve encountered, should we explore it?"

After processing the information in his mind, Kane turned to look at everyone and asked.

"Of course, exploring is good."

"No problem."

Hearing everyone’s consensus, Kane nodded as well.

Then the group started walking and observing in this hurricane-ravaged place.

Apart from the cracked, bleak land and towering peaks everywhere, there was no scenery.

"Such intense death rules, is it because the fragment is dead?"

Kane asked while walking.

In response to Kane’s question, Kreya shook her head: "Not sure, but if it’s as you say, it’s way too beneficial for me; seems unlikely."

If it’s truly as Kane suggested.

Considering the information from Gerry and Bagri before.

With most World Fragments being destroyed, wouldn’t death rules be prevalent everywhere?

This would be too advantageous for Kreya; she’d constantly be in a place abundant with death rules, making comprehension and understanding easier than in the Mist Rule Space.

Hearing Kreya’s words, Kane nodded: "You’re right, but it’s not impossible. Walking through more areas should clarify."

If this were true, wouldn’t everyone grasp death-related rules at the three-color level?

Since such intense death rules are everywhere, not seizing the opportunity would be regrettable.

"Look over there, is that a relic?"

Lilu suddenly pointed in one direction and asked.

Upon hearing Lilu’s words, everyone looked in the direction she pointed.

Through the constant hurricane, a sprawling relic could be vaguely seen in the distance, nearly surrounding the area.

"Let’s go over and take a look." Kane said to everyone, nodding his head.

Then, the group headed towards the relic.

As they got closer, the appearance of the area revealed itself before them.

A vast area of land, with remnants of broken stone pillars and various stone bricks.

Though these things are heavily damaged, and their original appearance barely visible due to blowing sand.

One can still distinguish them as man-made objects.

Coupled with the large relic surrounding them, it’s conceivable this was once a gathering place for intelligent beings.

"The death rules here are very strong."

Kreya felt the rules around her; black and white flames ignited in her hand.

Here, the black and white flames were so intense, as if the air was full of accelerants.

Suddenly realizing something, Kreya nodded with enlightenment.

"Ah~ I see. The reason for such intense death rules here is likely due to the presence of large amounts of life. But as the world perished and this World Fragment completely died, death followed, gathering so many death rules."

Hearing Kreya’s discovery, Kane nodded.

Longbei then said: "They truly were unfortunate. If discovered by the mist earlier, they might have survived."

This is undeniably true.

Given the intense death rules, the number of deaths is undoubtedly large.

But the group’s findings were limited to this; there was no further value. The hurricane had destroyed everything.

After wandering around a bit, they continued walking through the space.

"This space is unexpectedly large," Kane commented.

They had been walking within the space for almost half a day; given their physical condition and walking speed, it was indeed broad.

At least, a copper-level dungeon shouldn’t be this large.

It’s almost at a silver-level scale.

At least in terms of area.

Then Longbei suddenly crouched, digging at the cracked ground.

Soon after, he pulled out an ore?

Everyone watched Longbei crouch down, gathering around to see the ore he excavated.

"What is this thing?" Kane asked.

Longbei’s eyes gleamed with gold as he looked at the ore in his hand.

"The ore’s interior can extract material best suited for magic conduction, Mithril."

"Mithril?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised, given the sheer value of Mithril.

Especially when crafting Golden Equipment, it often required Mithril; they had spent the most on it before.

Crafting Magic Equipment demanded even more.

"This World Fragment may have died, void of life, but not completely destroyed. That’s why these previously existing, beautiful and sturdy ores remain."

Looking at the ore in Longbei’s hand, listening to his words.

Kane recalled what Gerry and Bagri mentioned before.

"For the mist, it’s garbage, but for us, it could be a treasure. That’s what they meant."

Kane couldn’t help saying.

This was quite easy to understand; Kraya and the others understood it immediately, nodding after brief contemplation.

What kind of World Fragment would be useful for the mist? At least one with suitable conditions for life.

If a fragment can’t even meet these requirements, then it’s all useless.

But in these so-called useless pieces, there might still exist rare resources.

Though such resources may hold little use for the mist, they could be immensely valuable for explorers like them.

Longbei stood up, looked at the ore in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.

"What a pity; wanting to mine these ores with just a few of us, it would take forever, not worth it."

Though precious, spending an extended time mining isn’t worthwhile.

"Not necessarily."

Kane suddenly took the ore from Longbei’s hand, smiling mysteriously at them.
