I reached the middle.
I have co to the middle, but I had remained at the edge of it, but this ti, I am at the true middle.
As I did, the earth rustled and a mont later, a thumbnail-sized piece of blue sartil floated out of the ground before landing in my hand.
It’s a first piece, but I need many more for my needs.
So, I moved forward, carefully. Keeping my presence wrapped in the stealth to avoid any monster or other threats.
Till now, I had not sensed any, and I am considering it a good sign. Though I didn’t let myself think too much about it and jinx it.
This ti, I am moving faster than the last ti.
Not because I am in a hurry, but because I am powerful and my thods are better.
It is why, two and a half minutes later. Three tiny stones ca out of the ground and flew toward until they reached my hand.
My strings are around , to bring the tals, without stopping for a mont.
A few minutes passed, and I suddenly slowed down and focused. A few seconds later, a surprise couldn’t help but appear on my face.
I had sensed the monster, but it wasn’t moving.
It is sleeping, actually, deep in the earth with its den covered in material that makes it very hard to discover its location.
It is not alone; there are also little monsters with it. I can’t tell the exact number due to it being deep, but I know there are little monsters.
I am surprised that I am able to sense it.
I wouldn’t have, if not for the new life detection formation. It is one of several I am using. It senses one of the unique energies that fauna life emits.
I didn’t think this would work, because that energy is very hard to sense and needs to be in a sufficient amount to be sensed.
It is why it was able to sense the sleeping monster, as it had been in its place for weeks.
The monster isn’t dangerous, but I still avoided the general above it. I don’t want to be a trigger that will wake it up.
The monster is very powerful, and I would rather not face it, unless I have no choice.
Soon, I moved away from the area, and heaved a sigh of relief. The last ti I experienced it, I had quite a fear in my heart of these monsters, and I would avoid them as much as possible.
I had just stepped out when my strings found another nugget of the blue sartil.
It is the first piece I sensed ; all of the pieces I had collected had been sensed by my tools, and I could see why.
There is a thick layer of karusine covering it. It is one of the tals found in the ore, but it is always present in small amounts; however, here it covers the whole nugget.
I removed the layer of it, and what I found inside made my eyes widen.
"My god!" I said as I looked at pure blue-sartil.
It is the purest one I have found, with a purity level of over 98%. I had not found such purity in all the nuggets I had collected.
It ans this little store is worth three tis its size when compared to the average nugget.
Making it the biggest one I had found.
If I found the pieces like this, it would save a lot of ti, but unfortunately, it won’t happen. However, I kept the hope alive in my heart.
I resud the journey and soon found more nuggets, but nothing like the pure one.
The density of tal is better than I had thought; it would be. I am constantly finding it, with the pile in my storage getting bigger with every new nugget.
It filled with the hope that I will be able to find all the tal I need in the middle section of it.
If that happens, I will be out of this place before the afternoon.
A mont later, I pushed away the thoughts and focused on the work. Those thoughts are useless because they will not beco reality until I have all the tal in my hand.
Nor do I have enough data to make that conjecture.
My tools didn’t discover all the tal; nearly a quarter of it, and that makes a huge difference.
Soon, I finished with half of middle-region and got a good amount of tal.
Hun!
A few minutes passed, and suddenly I stopped and hid behind the tree.
A few seconds later, I saw the monster. It is the familiar snake, slithering gracefully.
It is the first moving monster I’ve seen since coming here. Compared to last ti, when I saw a monster at every hour.
It couldn’t help but make relieved that the host wouldn’t be here. Even with the strength increase, I wouldn’t want to fight soone that powerful.
The hosts aren’t just powerful, but those bastards are also harder to kill.
Most importantly, I will not fight one, but two, when dealing with a host. As the foreigner also remains there.
I pushed those thoughts and focused on the snake, while keeping my mind calm. The stealth is good, but the monster could sense the emotion, especially bad emotions targeting them.
So, it is better to keep the thoughts as clear as possible.
A minute and a half later, the snake disappeared from my senses, and a minute after that, I resud moving.
Seeing the monster, I beca more careful. I had felt its power, and it brought back from the high I was feeling from my level-up.
Ti passed, and I kept moving, collecting more and more nuggets till I finally stopped.
I had finished the whole middle section and got only around 72% of my needs. I need more, and there is only one place I could get it.
The central section.
