Chapter 618: Elemental Godly Stones (1/2)
Krune's group was relatively fast. Still, they could be much faster than that. It's just that they were paying attention to any Spatial Tears or Space Creatures. Sure enough, they encountered a few of them on the way. Compared to the outside, the numbers were much higher. Still, they were much more prepared now. They had understood their patterns a little and how to detect them.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
*Roar!*
Suddenly, another Space Creature fell on the ground, quickly becoming specs of silver light right after. Krune's shields then returned to him, but he didn't store them inside the Spatial Ring. Instead, he had kept them orbiting around himself ever since they entered this place. Still, he only deployed half of the shields so far.
Jimage looked around and couldn't detect any space creature.
”Alright, we should be very close to the center where the node is located. Pay attention to your surroundings.”
Everyone nodded as they continued. Sure enough, Jimage was right. They finally reached the center of the chaotic space. There, Krune, Iem, and everyone else could see a small cluster. It shined with intense blue light. Right below it, the group could also see a bright white root that looked the same as the root connected to the island.
”That's the node. Just as we imagined, it is a water type one with Water Element Top Quality Godly Stones. Xanala, you have the best water element control in our group. You go and take them out of the node. Be careful not to make the node's energy go out of control, or you will probably be doomed.”
Xanala took a deep breath and nodded.
”Alright, keep an eye around for Space Creatures and Spatial Tears.”
Jimage agreed, and he stopped somewhat close to the node. Rui, the 6th Stage Divinity Realm demon beast, stayed on the other side. The rest formed a perimetry around the node while keeping some distance from it.
Xanala then gathered Water Element and Laws on her hands and touched the node. She could see a total of five Top Quality Godly Stones that could be acquired, but she didn't dare to be hasty. The trick was to cut the Water Element's connection between the Godly Stones and the node itself. However, the sheer amount of Godly Energy present made it quite difficult. That's because she had to use her own Water Element and Laws to seal the hole left behind. That was a delicate process that had to be done little by little so that the Godly Energy wouldn't burst out of the node.
Xanala spent around thirty minutes to take all five Godly Stones. After ascertaining that she didn't leave any flaws behind in the node, she quickly separated from it. She was sweating quite a lot, but not because she was tired. It's just that she could die if the node exploded right in front of her, so she was obviously nervous during the process.
Jimage nodded, satisfied.
”Alright, let's leave this place. There are several other islands to check after this one.”
The walked back through the same path as before, which was already more or less cleared from Space Creatures. They also knew where the Spatial Tears were located, making things even easier. Finally, they exited the chaotic space before giving a sigh of relief.
”Good, we didn't meet too many Space Creatures at once inside. Let's hope the next nodes are the same. We are moving to the next island.”
Everyone agreed with Jimage, and they departed. To leave the island, they only had to jump from its borders using all their strength. Those islands didn't have strong gravity to start with, so it was possible to escape their attraction force even though they can't fly.
They began to float in space once more, making their way to the nearest rooted island when suddenly, they felt strong Godly Energy Waves coming from somewhere far in the distance. There, they saw one of the floating islands crumbling until only the root that was holding it remained. That island was as big as their one, but it quickly broke apart nonetheless.
Jimage and the others took a deep cold breath after seeing it.
”Seems like one of the other groups made a mistake while extracting the Top Quality Godly Stones. In the end, the Godly Energy inside the node burst out, wiping out everything around. Most likely, the person or demon beast trying to remove the Godly Stones died. Even if not, he or she was definitely severely injured.”
Rui couldn't help but ask.
”Should we take the opportunity to attack? The other group should be in poor condition at the moment, so it's a good chance.”
Jimage shook his head.
”It would be detrimental for us. Instead, we should take this chance and gather even more Top Quality Godly Stones while they are out of the game. I reckon that they should need at least a day to recover. As for the one who tried to take the Top Quality Godly Stones, he or she will take at least three or four days if not dead.”
Everyone nodded. The only one somewhat disappointed was Iem, who thought he could finally fight against the other groups. Still, the sect's orders were to follow Jimage's command, so he couldn't go there by himself or separate from the group.
Their group only took another hour to reach the next floating island. This time, this one was only half as big. However, the sect already confirmed that the island's size doesn't matter as long as it has a white root attached to it.
