Episode 15 – Heavy Treasure Chapter 30 – Sea of Mist
The metal beings were like streams of light, rapidly shuttling towards the east.
Inside the Metal Life hall, Linley and Delia sat opposite each other, Bebe and Jenkin sat opposite each other, and everyone talked casually.
“My hometown, ah, it’s much more complicated than yours.”
Nowadays, Zhan Jin was full of smiles, which still had the fear of fleeing for his life to catch up, “And my hometown, that continent is relatively large, from the southernmost to the northernmost it’s more than 100,000 miles.”
Linley nodded slightly, the Yulan continent was only 20,000 to 30,000 miles from north to south. The Zhanjin homeworld was, indeed, much larger than the Yulan continent.
“Our place is divided into three main forces, one is the human society, there’s also the orc race, and finally, there’s the sea race! The various religions are extremely numerous. Haha, I’m not afraid to laugh at you guys when I say it, I’m a human, and I’m still making a religion out of the orc race!”
Zhan Jin laughed, “Those orc races, the beastmen don’t even know that the god they believe in was originally a human.”
Linley, Delia, and Bebe were also bored along the way, and also listened to Zhan Jin recounting the stories of their one material realm, and it had to be said that Zhan Jin’s material realm of theirs, although it wasn’t as complex as the Yulan Realm, had a much larger population base, with many more Saint Realm powerhouses, and all sorts of religious wars and racial wars were frequent as well.
“Tsk, didn’t see that.”
Bebe laughed playfully, “You’re surprisingly so accomplished in that material realm of yours.”
Jenkin’s story was indeed legendary as well.
“Alas.”
Zhan Jin sighed, “When standing at the peak of a continent, it can be lonely!”
Linley nodded slightly.
In fact, the vast majority of the many powerful people who had traveled from the material plane, to the supreme planes such as hell, had done so because of loneliness!
“I clearly knew that it was dangerous in Hell, but I still chose to come. However, the level of danger in Hell still exceeds my imagination.”
Zhan Jin said gratefully, “If it wasn’t for the help of the three lords, I wouldn’t even be able to take out five thousand ink stones.”
Zhan Jin didn’t have the money to pay 5,000 inkstones, but 5,000 inkstones was to Linley’s three. It was indeed a drop in the bucket. During the conversation, Linley and the others also felt that this Zhan Jin was quite good. Bebe then boldly agreed to help Zhan Jin provide those five thousand inkstones.
The tens of millions of miles traveled in waves, and in about a month, Linley and the others arrived at the legendary Amethyst Mountain Range!
“This is the Amethyst Mountain Range?”
Linley stood at the front of the metal life, and through the transparent metal in front of him, he could clearly see the vast, boundless Amethyst Mountains.
The Amethyst Mountains were vast. Hundreds of thousands of miles in circumference. Hundreds of thousands of miles in a circle in hell was not really much of an exaggeration of the range, but at least it had completely filled the entire range of vision, and at a glance, it was vast and boundless, unable to see the end.
At the same time, the white mist floated on the Amethyst Mountain Range.
The strange thing was that one could only see the mist, but not the Amethyst Mountain Range.
“It’s true what the books say, this Amethyst Mountain Range is also known as the Sea of Mist even though it’s said to be a mountain range. From the outside. You can’t see a single mountain or rock at all, it’s all just a continuous white fog with no end in sight.”
Linley lamented, and beside him, Delia, Bei Bei, and Zhan Jin all looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them in a relaxed manner.
Hundreds of thousands of miles of white mist surrounded the area, and the blood-colored sunlight shone in the sky, refracting in the white mist and forming a gorgeous scenery that really made one’s heart feel good.
“So bizarre.”
Delia marveled. “This large mountain range with a circumference of hundreds of thousands of miles is actually shrouded by an endless white fog, and it’s shrouded so tightly, and this fog is even year-round, it’s also weird beyond measure.”
Delia was also puzzled.
Linley, Delia, and Bei Bei at least had some understanding of this Amethyst Mountain Range through books.
This Zhan Jin, on the other hand, was at a loss.
“This is the Amethyst Mountain Range?”
Zhan Jin was still unable to believe that this sea of fog was the Amethyst Mountain Range.
“Come on, let’s go down.”
Linley’s mind moved. The Norse metal life disappeared into thin air, Linley, Delia, and Bebe all flew towards the bottom, that Zhan Jin was slightly caught off guard but stabilized in an instant, while also even immediately following.
The Amethyst Mountain Range, on the surface, was a sea of fog.
But in the periphery of the Amethyst Mountains, there are densely packed people, like a torrent flying, the number of people, simply to an appalling point. Many God-level powerhouses were staying at the edge of the Sea of Fog, taking their chances on collecting amethyst crystals.
The ground on the outskirts of the Amethyst Mountain Range. At least within Linley’s line of sight, there were three ancient castles.
As Linley’s four approached, two middle-aged men in black uniforms instantly flew over, both of whom couldn’t help but glance at Delia in amazement, obviously both realizing that this was an Upper Divine Demon. They couldn’t help but wonder in their hearts, “An Upper Divine Demon. Wouldn’t come to collect amethyst, would they?”
An Upper Divine Demon, that is, as a bodyguard. The pay was also much higher than gathering amethyst. Gathering amethyst was something that the average Lower God or Middle God did.
Noticing Delia, an Upper God Demon, the attitude of these two was also much better, with the blonde middle-aged man smiling and opening his mouth, “May I ask, how many of you are here?”
Bebe smiled and said, “The three of us are going in to watch a bit, this kid, is here to collect amethyst from you guys.”
“Oh?”
This blonde middle-aged man nodded and said, “This Amethyst Mountain Range is under the unified management of our eighteen clans, of course, we don’t stop outsiders from going in. It doesn’t matter if it’s an excursion, or collecting amethyst crystals. Anyone who wants to go in, pays five thousand inkstones per person.”
Linley nodded slightly, the rule of paying five thousand inkstones had been passed down for an unknown number of years, even that was recorded in that book.
“What if there are no inkstones?”
Zhan Jin suddenly said.
“No?”
That blonde-haired middle-aged man glanced at him and smiled lightly, “No, there’s no problem. We can let you in, but we won’t give you a token, so when you come out …… you’ll need to pay us three amethysts!”
“A token?”
Linley’s eyebrows lifted.
The blonde middle-aged man nodded and said, “Yes. Anyone who pays five thousand inkstones can get a heraldic token, and when you come out, you only need to return this one token, and you can leave peacefully.”
Linley’s heart was clear to them.
“If you wish to pay the five thousand inkstones, please go to the unified entrance.”
The blonde-haired middle-aged man pointed towards the lavishly constructed hall door in the distance.
In fact, the Amethyst Mountain Range was so extensive that it was entirely possible to enter from any part of the sky or the ground.
“Remember, the tokens are to be returned when you come out. If there is a delusional attempt to escape.”
The blonde-haired middle-aged man smiled, “That will be attacked by our eighteen family experts, hehe, it’s just a reminder.”
Linley smiled bashfully, “Thanks.”
Immediately, he took Bebe, Delia, and Zhan Jin and flew towards that entrance.
“Boss, that guy seems pretty arrogant, always talking about the eighteen clans.”
Bebe muttered.
“Bebe. Don’t be careless.”
Linley himself was well aware that these eighteen clans were terrifying, “The only place of origin for amethyst crystals in the Purple Bauhinia Continent, it’s a staggering treasure. You know the price of an amethyst crystal, do you know how many amethyst crystals this Amethyst Mountain Range produces?”
Bebe was stunned.
Amethyst? There were large quantities of amethysts sold in every Purple Briar Castle and Black Sand Castle, so many that the number was simply uncountable.
“Such an amethyst mountain range with an unending supply of amethyst, that’s a truly great treasure! The wealth of any one of these eighteen clans far exceeds that Boye clan.”
Linley marveled, “Eighteen families. Can monopolize this Amethyst Mountain Range treasure. I think there must be a Shura behind it, and, there should be more than one Shura!”
The Amethyst Mountain Range, the only place in the Zijing Continent where Zijing originated, while the Zijing Continent had nearly twenty families, which meant nearly twenty Xiu Luo.
Casually a bit of brain. Will be able to understand, this eighteen family power of the huge, not to mention an upper god demon, is the seven star demon Ali Quinn estimate also dare not fool around here!
At the entrance of the Amethyst Mountain Range.
“En, twenty thousand inkstones!”
Linley flipped his hand and took out two long strips of zhan stone.
The woman in the black standardized robes casually took out four identical crests and gave them to Linley, and each of the four of them split one.
“Thank you, Mr. Linley.”
Zhan Jin said gratefully. In fact, during this time in the metal life ride, Zhan Jin had also discovered that of the three of them in …… Lin Lei, the one who made the decisions and took the lead wasn’t the Upper Divine Demon Delia, but Lin Lei.
“Let’s go.”
Linley directly took to the air and flew up. Together with Delia and Bebe, they approached over towards the Sea of Mist.
The blood-colored sunlight shone down on the gently tumbling sea of fog, the wondrous colors that flared up forming a beautiful sight.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Delia smiled happily, “Linley, look there!”
Delia pointed to the far side of the sea of fog, only to see a mass of white fog that, under the sunlight, unexpectedly looked like a flying horse galloping.
“Vast and boundless, it’s soothing to look at.”
Linley laughed. “Come on, let’s take a look inside.”
With that, Linley and the others flew towards the inside, but just at this time —- “Four of you, stop.”
A voice rang out.
Linley and the four of them immediately stopped in confusion. Turning back to look. Only to see a young man in black standard armor fly over, “Four of you, don’t you know. The dangers of this Sea of Mist? Surprisingly, you are still barging towards the inside of this Sea of Mist?”
“Dangerous?”
Linley pointed suspiciously at the others in the distance, “Aren’t there still people in the Sea of Mist?”
In Linley’s opinion, if others could go in, it should be fine for him to go in as well. Moreover, the geography book about hell that had been purchased had a rough description of the Amethyst Mountain Range. After all, that book wasn’t that thick, and each mansion was only introduced for a few pages.
“Let me remind you.”
This youth said seriously, “The sea of fog in the Amethyst Mountain Range is very strange, with a very small visual range. An average Median God, if they are in the sea of fog, can only see a hundred meters. So …… no matter who is in the sea of fog, it is best to be in the outermost part of the sea of fog. If it’s a Mediate God, it’s impossible to go deeper than a hundred meters!”
Linley and the few of them immediately listened carefully. This youth solemnly said, “Anyone who enters the depths, when you can’t see out, you won’t be able to get out!”
Linley and the others jumped in shock.
“Can’t get out?”
Bebe exclaimed, “How is that possible? It’s not just white fog, even though the range of visibility is relatively small, but I’m flying in a straight line from inside, can’t I still fly out?”
“It can’t come out!”
This youth seriously said, “As long as you are at the outermost part of the sea of fog and turn around to be able to see outside. You will still be able to fly out, and if you can’t see outside, then you’re done for. Therefore, you must be careful when collecting amethyst!”
“Even if there are amethysts ten meters ahead of you, you must not go beyond the danger zone! Once you go deeper, you won’t be able to come back!”
This youth said solemnly.
Linley frowned as he looked at the large number of Earth God-level powerhouses suspended at the edge of the fog sea in the distance, and instantly understood a little, “Right, if this fog sea wasn’t dangerous, I’m afraid that these God-level powerhouses would have already rushed into the depths of the fog sea to look for amethysts. Why are they still waiting outside?”
Linley was certain that this Sea of Mist was definitely dangerous.
“Remember, always make sure you don’t exceed the alert range, and even if there’s a pile of amethysts suspended in front of you, you can’t go deeper.”
After that youth finished speaking, he left.
Linley, Delia, and Bebe looked at each other and couldn’t help but be surprised at how naturally marvelous it was.
“Delia, we’re not gathering amethyst land either, we’re just here to look at the land, come on, let’s go somewhere else.”
Linley didn’t care, and immediately took Delia and Bebe flying along the edge of the Sea of Mist, while that Zhan Jin followed Linley and the others for the time being.
After Linley and the others had been gone for a while.
“Captain’s luck is good, I actually found that amethyst just now. After coming to this place for over twenty years, I haven’t gotten a single one. Hey Olivia, how was your haul?”
At this moment there was a small group of a dozen people gathered together.
With long black and white barge hair and a gray robe, it was none other than Olivia, who was also from the Yulan continent realm.
Olivia shook her head, “Bad luck.”
“Don’t be discouraged, let’s go, let’s all go have a few drinks together, my treat.”
The captain at the head of the group smiled.
This one small group then flew to the Misty Sea’s outer perimeter, near the entrance location, where there were some dining establishments right in the middle of it.
