Chapter 119 The Mad Adventurers
The central continent became incredibly lively, with tens of thousands of adventurers swarming out. From a god's-eye view, small teams scattered in all directions like fairies scattering flowers, each with its own mission objective, rushing towards their destination.
However, the main continent is not peaceful; in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is fraught with danger.
While there are no monsters in the most dangerous place, Poison Dragon Abyss, it doesn't mean there aren't any elsewhere. Coupled with numerous threats and obstacles, this has severely delayed the progress of all parties involved.
"Quickly, full speed ahead!"
"We must reach the treasure's location before the other forces do."
Urged on, the squads flew with all their might.
However, their speed was still far behind that of Suk's spaceship.
Suk had already gathered a copy of the information about the dangers and maps of the main continent through the intelligence from the Doomsday Blade, so he had a thorough understanding of them. Avoiding them wouldn't be a big problem. In addition, with the speed and defense of the spaceship, the ferocious beasts along the way could be ignored.
Before they even noticed, the spaceship had already flown right over their heads.
Soon, Suk's spaceship was the first to arrive at the nearest location where the treasure had landed.
This is a meticulously planned route that allows Suk to bypass other forces and seize the treasure as early as possible.
"There's a big crater over there," Saki shouted, and everyone in the spaceship noticed it too.
Meteors make a huge noise and create large craters when they land on hard ground, making them easy targets.
In a remote valley filled with gray rocks, there is a large, sunken pit, from which spiderweb-like cracks spread out, with rubble and soil scattered around it.
Some monsters from nearby, drawn by the noise, gathered around and observed curiously.
The spaceship hovered high above. Suk looked at the screen and said, "Let's go down." The spaceship began to descend. At this moment, the monsters on the ground also noticed the spaceship above. They all revealed their ferocious expressions and let out threatening roars, then charged fiercely towards the spaceship.
"I don't have time to play with you." The hatch opened, and instead of seeing a person, streaks of blood-red shadows shot out, lashing the monsters like whips. Boom! Boom! Boom! One monster after another was sent flying by the immense force, their bodies covered in thick, crystalline frost before they even hit the ground, followed by cracks and wounds appearing like shattered glass. None of these monsters escaped; they all instantly lost their life force.
The crimson shadows receded, revealing themselves to be beautiful flower vines with branches and leaves, resembling crimson ice crystals, radiating extreme cold.
Eloi's beautiful and delicate face appeared behind her; it was her cosmic-level "Ice Blood Sunflower" that had just made its move.
While not as powerful as Suk's "Death Star Vine," it's more than enough to slaughter some star-level monsters.
Seeing that there were no monsters around, Suk and the others flew directly to the top of the pit. Looking down, they saw a grayish-blue square metal box, about three meters long, wide, and high, lying quietly in the center of the pit.
"Is this the treasure?" Suk observed curiously, but time was short, so he didn't waste any time. He put the metal box away first, and then returned to the spaceship with everyone. The spaceship started up and left.
Inside a sturdy cabin of a spaceship flying high in the sky, Suk and the others were studying the newly acquired bluish-gray metal box.
"There's a latch here, it looks like a button?" Saki blinked.
Suk said, "You all stand back a bit, I'll open it." Suk was still very careful, and he also stepped back. Then, Death Star Vines extended from his battle suit. The vines grew longer and thicker, completely surrounding the gray metal box until it was no longer visible. Only then did Suk use one of the thin vines inside to open the box.
"Click." The antique bluish-gray metal box opened, revealing a deep black bracelet with beautiful patterns inside.
Suk used the Death Star Vine to check it and found nothing wrong before taking the black bracelet to examine it closely. The others, who also found nothing amiss, gathered around.
"What is this?" Eloi asked curiously.
"It's a spatial storage device." Suk smiled slightly. "Let me first recognize it as my owner and see what's inside." Since the ring had no mark left by its owner, the recognition process was very quick, completed in the blink of an eye. Afterward, Suk extended his consciousness inside.
"What's inside?" Saki couldn't contain his curiosity.
"There's only one, and I don't recognize it either. I'll show it to you." Suk frowned, and with a thought, a stone suddenly appeared in front of him. It was an oval-shaped, deep blue stone about the size of a watermelon, with a deep and captivating blue color throughout. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and it shimmered with a star-like luster under the light. Every inch of it was full of natural charm. Most incredibly, when you got close to this stone, you could almost feel the cool aura it emitted, as if it possessed a calming power.
"I actually feel much calmer inside," Saki said in surprise.
Everyone else reported the same thing.
A bubble-like sound rang out, "This is a Tranquility Stone, a very magical treasure from the universe. When a powerful cultivator keeps it by their side, it can quickly calm their mind, making it an excellent tool for cultivation and enlightenment. My master once saw someone build a huge and magnificent palace using countless Tranquility Stones—that was truly extravagant! As for the one before you, judging by its size, it might be worth around 100..."
One billion Universe Coins, that's not bad.
100 billion cosmic coins is considered a normal net worth for some domain lords, but for ordinary star-level adventurers who enter the assessment world, it is an unimaginable fortune.
Suk stroked the Tranquility Stone and said, "In other words, if each of the treasures that appeared this time is worth about the same as the Tranquility Stone, then the hundreds of treasures combined would be worth 1 Chaos Unit."
One Hunyuan unit is actually quite a lot; many Realm Lords can't afford it. Although a peak Realm Lord's wealth is generally 10 Hunyuan units, some poor Realm Lords usually use most of their assets to improve themselves and don't have much cash on hand. Even for a peak Realm Lord, one Hunyuan unit is one-tenth of their wealth, enough to make them feel incredibly distressed.
"If a lucky star level gets a treasure chest, it's like reaching the top in one step," Saki remarked.
Soon after, people from all over the world who rushed to the meteorite's crash site also found the treasure chests. When they opened them and discovered the treasures, they all went crazy.
Envious.
100 billion cosmic coins may sound abstract, but in terms of physical value, it is equivalent to nearly 5 life-bearing planets.
Most of these celestial beings possess wealth that wouldn't even buy a single habitable planet.
Even the young talents from various factions were tempted. They had powerful backgrounds, but their wealth was limited. 100 billion cosmic coins was close to the net worth of a domain lord, and few of them had that much wealth.
Everyone was driven crazy by this enormous wealth.
