Jason clearly saw a red crystal protruding out of the ground, which radiated a faint light-gray color, and at the sa ti, fire elental transmuted mana which astonished him a little bit.
'Why does this crystal look soo familiar?' He wondered, and approaching the red crystal radiating faint fire transmuted. mana, Jason rembered sothing he read and saw in many different books from Shane and Dalia.
They were mostly about the three basic lifestyle occupations but also in Beast creations and in even more theses Dalia handed him out.
"Is that a fire elental crystal?" Jason mumbled as he squatted down in order to touch the red crystal.
Once his left hand touched the crystal, he imdiately felt a vigorous wave of fire elental mana invading him, causing slight pain when it entered his mana veins.
Releasing his black origin fla within himself, the pain substituted before he released the crystal from his hand.
'Interesting!... If all the things with colors I see within the cave are elental crystals, I′m within an elental crystal cave, huh?'
He thought while smiling silly…
If Jason was really within an elental crystal cave, his financial issue would imdiately vanish as long as he excavated a decent amount of them.
Now the only question tornting him, how he should mine them...
Taking a look inside his storage device, Jason was sure that he purchased quite a lot of things, but he couldn′t rember having bought a pickaxe.
Upon sensing a bunch of tools thrown into the corner of his storage device, Jason took them out one after another with a small ray of hope erging within him.
'That′s a sickle, an ax…..a shovel!....a hoe? Why did I buy a hoe? Oh!! I really bought a pickaxe!!'
Taking out a pickaxe, Jason′s smile radiated the surrounding, as Artemis jumped from his shoulder in order to give him so space, while Jason tried to move his shoulder in order to test out his current capabilities
His shoulder hurt like hell, but he wanted to extract at least this one crystal in front of him because he was curious about it.
If he could satiate his curiosity by enduring a little bit of pain, he would definitely accept it.
Furthermore, it wouldn't take long, because the crystal had only the size of his fist.
As such after two to three painful swings with his low-grade-1 pickaxe the crystal was already in his left hand, while he sealed it in order to prevent it from releasing transmuted mana into his body.
Looking at the red gleaming crystal, Jason tried to rember the advantages elental crystals had, and the first fact that jumped into his mind, was their capability to strengthen affinities.
With pure elental crystals, beasts and even humans could increase their affinity to a certain extent, while it was mostly used for beasts to strengthen their affinity because they would innately share it with their contractor.
The extent for elental crystals to strengthen affinities was restricted to the amount of mana and its purity.
If the purity within was less than the innate purity of the beast's transmuted mana which wanted to enhance its affinity, it wouldn't work, while comprehending a higher-ranked affinity by solely absorbing a purer transmuted mana was extrely difficult with so theorists even saying that it might be dangerous.
It was said that there was even the possibility to deteriorate the affinity by comprehending sothing innately wrong, even though the possibility was extrely low.
'Ah!!' Suddenly Jason rembered the main reason for the elental crystals' price which was not low, to begin with.
The reason was that one could even concoct potions with them, while it was also possible to forge weapons with elental crystals, and inscribe runes with a certain ratio of crushed elental crystals within the inscribing mixture would allow one to use a foreign affinity to a certain extent.
Like this one could disguise runes within the ground, by using crushed earth elental crystals or create traps with a variety of elental runes.
But more importantly, were the concocted potions and Jason faintly rembered a certain Beast creation book, stating that so potions to evolve beasts had to be concocted with elental transmuted mana.
Thinking about this statent, Jason tried to rember more paragraphs like this and after a short while, he could already faintly rember a few theses, paragraphs, and even potions stating the sa.
'Aren't so wands also made out of elental crystals...or was it a similar material?' Jason wondered as he rembered a special perk of so wands, allowing soone without a single affinity, to use weak affinities.
Even one of the stated perks, he rembered about the elental crystals would be worth a fortune, while the elental crystals in front of him had all these advantages.
Jason′s mood imdiately skyrocketed and he decided to strive deeper into the elental crystal cave, while his mana eyes observed everything in order to figure out where the supposed elental crystals were and at the sa ti to see if any beast approached him.
Weirdly enough, he couldn't see any beast at all, and the further he went into the cave, the more elental crystals he found, protruding out of the ground, ceiling, and walls.
'Is it finally my ti?' Jason thought overjoyed, as he turned around to figure out if sothing from above entered, only for his eyes to widen in extre shock.
"What the hell is that?" He exclaid, which resounded throughout the cave, as he saw hundreds of beasts flooding the cavern entrance, he walked in a few hours ago.
However what wondered him was, that presud prey and predator charged into the cavern at the sa ti seemingly without caring about each other′s existence at all.
'What did I enter?!' Yet, even after asking himself the sa question multiple tis there was no answer and Jason went deeper into the cave to further increase the distance to the beast at the entrance.
Every few painful steps he took, Jason turned around without halting his steps for a single second in order to check what happened above.
'They stopped?' he wondered, as he noticed sothing even weirder.
'These beasts excavate the crystals?!?' With a shocked expression, Jason saw hundreds of beasts occupying the cavern entrance and even the four different tunnels in order to dig out the elental crystals, without going deeper into the cave.
'Why don't they co down?' He wondered as the walls around him began to shake violently, startling him, Artemis, and the beasts from above.
Noticing that the beasts from above charged out of the cave, Jason had a bad premonition, however, even after a few seconds passed, there was not a single beast that accidentally entered the depths of the cave as he did, and he finally figured out what was going on, as two of the four the tunnels above him collapsed.
'Is that an earthquake?! Why now?' Jason lanted as he rembered Shane lecturing him that he should always know his surroundings which included the landscape with its perks.
Cursing in his mind, Jason exclaid angrily "How the hell should I know where exactly tectonic plates are situated?!"
