Kreya looked at the crystal stone in her hand, the only thing she could feel was the surging energy inside.
She lifted her head to look at Lilulu.
At this mont, Lilulu began to explain: "This was made according to Kane’s request; it’s a crystal stone capable of long-distance teleportation outside the mist.
These few crystal stones are interconnected, and you just need to channel your Magic Power to open a teleportation gate to the location of other crystal stones."
After Lilulu finished her explanation, Kane spoke to everyone.
"To prevent various accidents and guard against powerful enemies without any help, I had Lilulu create this device."
"This can allow us to quickly co together."
Hearing Kane’s explanation, everyone nodded.
Kane indeed thought of most of the foreseeable dangers.
But this was his habit as a team leader all along.
"Alright, then we shall go in now."
Watching everyone nod.
The white mist began to surround everyone until it covered their entire bodies.
By the ti the mist dissipated, several people had already vanished from the original spot.
When they reappeared, they were at the marked point.
In the thin white mist, a towering stone tower and several dilapidated huts.
In the gathering point, a few shadows ca in and out quickly, passing through or waiting.
It seed unusually desolate here, more like ruins than a gathering point.
Sparing no ti here, they proceeded directly to the edge.
Kane turned to his teammates: "Everyone pick a direction you like."
They were about to officially act in groups.
Longbei scratched his head, looked at the white mist ahead, then pointed to the left: "Let’s go this way, how about you, izike?"
Regarding such matters, izike certainly had no objections, rely nodded to indicate agreent.
Having no objections, Longbei smiled at everyone: "Haha, everyone, we’ll go ahead first."
With that, he and izike walked right into the white mist, vanishing instantly.
At this ti, Kane looked at Kreya.
"Then we will start to act too, are you ready, Lilulu?"
Kreya smiled, asking Lilulu on her shoulder.
Lilulu raised both hands happily and said, "Lilulu is ready, let’s go!"
"Alright, then let’s go through the middle."
She turned and waved to Kane.
Then slowly disappeared into the white mist.
Kane smiled at the pair, until they vanished into the mist, then looked ahead.
"Which direction should I go myself?"
Since he was acting alone.
At this thought, golden light flashed in Kane’s eyes.
"The foresight is too faint; without the intertwined destiny of Kreya and others, it’s genuine uncertainty about where the direction with gains should be."
Kane extended his index and middle fingers, blue energy appearing at the fingertips, then transforming into thin two concave-shaped mbranes under the structure of Origin Skills.
The mbrane had square blue energy, densely moving, as if alive.
Slowly lifting his hand, he pressed the two mbranes to his eye sockets.
As if invisible lenses, fitting onto the eyes.
Blue energy began to evaporate in his eyes.
Kane couldn’t help but blink, frowned tightly, and a drop of blood as red as a ruby mixed with a gold thread slid from the corner of his eye.
Kane’s eyes were injured.
Taking this chance, Kane hurriedly used Divine Gaze; as golden light flashed, he instantly saw through the enhanced and rule-effected clairvoyance to see what he wanted.
But the pain in his eyes intensified, another droplet mixed with golden blood fell from the corner of his eye.
Kane dared not wait any longer, removing the blue invisible lens at once.
His eyes covered with blood-shot lines, the entire vision blurred.
The eyes evidently suffered damage.
With the disappearance of the lens, a machine appeared above his eyes like a protective eye device, beginning to treat the injured eyes.
Kane began taking deep breaths as well.
Approximately a minute later, the machine completely vanished.
"Ah."
Kane released a breath.
"Using Universal Energy for enhancent indeed worked. But, Divine Gaze, after all, relies on the body’s organs, and the eyes are extrely fragile. The enhancent with Universal Energy couldn’t control the rules but allowed usage, forcing the body to endure these rules."
This was why Kane’s eyes would shed blood tears.
Fortunately, such damage wasn’t severe, leaving no lasting harm.
But it couldn’t be used frequently; the eyes needed a long period to fully recover from damage, only then could such thods be used again.
Since checking only his destiny, without Kreya and others’ intertwined actions.
Kane thus barely used this thod, yet truly saw in a very brief instant which direction he should move to gain rewards.
If acting together with Kreya and them, intertwined destinies would require more ti to discern the direction, then perhaps his eyes couldn’t bear such pressure.
Even so, it was rely seeing a probability; although just a certain probability, it was enough.
Turning around, he took about ten slanted steps toward the right, entering the mist.
This was potentially the direction toward which he might achieve gains.
Re-entering the space among the encompassing mist.
Relying on synesthesia to walk the road beneath him, preventing complete loss of direction therein.
...
"How long have I been walking?"
Kane asked the 悠悠 (YouYou) in his arms.
Hearing Kane’s question, 悠悠 imdiately replied, "Master, from the mont you entered the Mist, you’ve been walking for 9 hours, 32 minutes, and 21 seconds."
Upon hearing 悠悠’s response, Kane nodded, then continued holding 悠悠 as he walked down the invisible path beneath him.
The reason for holding 悠悠 was that if he were put on the ground to follow, it wouldn’t be long before he vanished beneath Kane’s feet due to spatial distortion and loss of direction.
So Kane had no choice but to hold him.
"Why haven’t I encountered even a single World Fragnt after walking for so long? It’s a bit unusual."
Kane found it odd, as when he was acting with Kreya and the others, they would usually encounter a World Fragnt every two or three hours, though most were Death World fragnts.
Just a few hours ago, Kane had received a ssage from Kreya and the others via the BB machine.
Two hours after entering the Mist, Kreya and her team discovered the first World Fragnt, and half an hour later, Longbei’s team did the sa.
Perhaps this particular direction Kane chose had so special quality.
"The downside of acting alone becos evident—walking alone with no one to talk to feels quite lonely and truly unfamiliar."
When moving with Kreya and the others, there was always chatting, joking, and laughter.
Loneliness was never an issue before.
However, it took less than half a day of solo action for the feeling to set in.
"Don’t worry, Master, 悠悠 will keep you company,"
悠悠 said from Kane’s embrace.
Hearing this, Kane couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahaha, thank you."
He reached out his hand to gently rub 悠悠’s head.
(ˊᗜˋ)
"Oh! I can feel it now."
Finally, within his perception, Kane found the entrance to a World Fragnt not far ahead.
Kane imdiately walked towards the front, reaching the destination in less than a minute. Facing the dense white mist, Kane’s hands were covered with layers of Iron Armor and a sophisticated detection device, then he stretched his hand into the mist.
A stream of data appeared on 悠悠’s display screen imdiately.
"Detecting..."
"Death World 50%, Wasteland World 26%, Normal World 24%."
Upon seeing 悠悠’s report, Kane couldn’t help but show a delighted expression.
Is there only a 50% chance of encountering a Dead World?
It seems luck might be on his side by choosing this direction.
Usually, the chances of encountering a Dead World are over 80%.
If the probability of a Dead World is less than or equal to 50%, then it surely indicates so kind of reward, or the world has not been dead too long.
This conclusion cos from data gathered through their exploration beyond the Mist last ti.
Altogether, they have explored over 100 World Fragnts, so the data is still not enough for full analysis, just a simple one.
But after this exploration, they should acquire more data, as Kreya and her team also possess the sa data collection device.
Thinking of this, Kane dove straight in.
The white scene transford imdiately.
The 悠悠 in his hand floated up on its own, no longer needing Kane to hold it.
Wasteland’s scent ca rushing in.
The sky was completely filled with dimness and yellowish hues, resembling an apocalyptic scene.
The land was entirely a ruin, with nothing but a few strands of weeds on the barren ground.
Strong winds carrying sand and stones swept over.
Seeing this scene, Kane couldn’t help but smile.
From this sight, it appeared this world hadn’t completely died yet.
Judging by over a hundred explorations of Death World fragnts, Kane believed he didn’t feel wrong.
Caught just in ti before its death by the Mist—indeed, luck was on his side.
Either for Kane himself or for the people in this world, it was the sa.
Three detectors ford by Intelligent Core quickly assembled beside him.
Fla jets from the detectors propelled them high into the sky until they disappeared from view.
The 悠悠 beside instantly linked with the detectors, beginning its survey of the surroundings.
Kane too began moving, starting his exploration of this world.
"Detected signs of life, right at three o’clock, 836 ters ahead."
Hearing 悠悠’s report, Kane, who was heading straight forward, promptly took a right turn and quickly proceeded in that direction.
Such a short distance ans it probably isn’t an intelligent lifeform. Kane’s eyes glowed with a blue light as he looked into the distance.
Only half a ter in size, crawling on the ground, it should be so kind of animal.
This animal seed to sense Kane’s presence and began swiftly dodging and fleeing at great speed.
Seeing this situation, Kane promptly opened his hand in that direction.
The fleeing unidentified lifeform was imdiately wrapped by surrounding rubble and then enveloped in stone, floating rapidly towards Kane.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The animal’s cries echoed.
As the stones flew closer, Kane finally saw what this lifeform was.
It was a rat-like creature, with five limbs, a main tail, and a short accompanying tail beside it.
Its head was deford, and its body was hairless,
The exposed skin was covered in repulsive tumor-like patches, with a black line on it emitting an aura.
Kane frowned, observing this grotesque creature.
"Infected at the rule level?"
