Chapter 2040: Finally a Clue

It was ultimately not the stone they were looking for, however.

Althea and the rest of them decided that the samples they had were enough to bring back to Alterra for future studies.

For now, they had to continue looking for the mysterious Elyssian stone first, and they’d just send the sample stones back for someone else to study.

The difference when she Earth Scanned this time was that they had the mystery metal. When she held on to it, the scope she could see with her earth ability increased to more than a kilometer away.

With this, they could choose their hunting spots farther away and save time in the process.

Garan looked at her worriedly. "What if there are side effects?"

"I know my body best," she said. She was confident, but seeing the worry in the man’s eyes, she couldn’t help but compromise a bit. "I will use it once a day."

They noticed that the first batch was a bit more nuclear. They radiated more nuclear energy.

The second batch, which came later, had less. The difference was nearly negligible...they could only determine this because they had the machine that could accurately measure this.

They moved the AWG in the cave, setting it up as their new base camp. They took the water it gathered so far and placed it in the space before they headed out.

Because Althea had already scanned this area using the new metal, they could directly skip kilometers of area and choose a new center point to start ’scanning’.

It was just that the number of undead everywhere was staggering. After the mountain range that separated the Undead from the rest of the world, the rest of the surfaces had tons of undead.

The exemptions were probably the top of some mesas, but even some had undead on them.

This meant that to be able to travel a kilometer away was a challenge. Even if they had two level 30s in their party, it was not possible for them to just ’swim’ in this endless mob and leave unscathed.

While they were staring at the endless number of Undead, platforms made of ice appeared in front of them. It wasn’t a continuous bridge—that was too energy-consuming—rather it was several platforms a few meters high and about ten to fifteen meters apart.

They looked at Garan, whose expressions remained impassive. "They won’t stay upright forever," he said. Even if his level was high, their designation was more than a kilometer away. Even he would have to watch his consumption, and he might not be able to help much during the actual battle.

Garan lifted Althea up, and Sinnan lifted Medusa, and they jumped over the platforms, with Garan creating new ones as needed.

Ten to fifteen meters was not a short distance, after all, and only those with high levels could be effortless about it. Althea could jump that distance, too. It was just that doing so for a kilometer would tire her out too much, so she happily let her husband do the work, naturally wrapping her delicate arms around him.

They arrived at their destination sometime later. This time, it was Althea who created a platform because it was much easier to create permanent platforms with earth than any other element.

They would stay there for a bit, but not for too long. Unlike the first batch, Althea could start scanning from the safety of the platform. This was made easier because of the mystery stone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
