Chapter 742: “Exploration”

The captain earnestly reminded her peers to take care of their health and not to go out of the dyed territory.

When everyone listened to the captain, a lot of them recognised this fairly young and new mafia member.

She was surprisingly someone everyone knew from the previous Naran Family’s siege…

It was Candea!

Candea was appointed not only because she was elites among the newcomers but also because of her marble-manipulation ability.

The scout teams said that there were many raw marble materials buried beneath the black soil, and it means Candea could really be of use.

Oh well, Candea’ warning was extremely timely and appropriate.

After all, they didn’t know the environment outside of the scouted area or how dangerous the monsters were. If the group carelessly explored the surroundings, there might be unforeseen accidents.

There was also the climate…although according to the previous family who owned the island, the weather here was actually so good.

It wasn’t too hot, not humid, but not too cold either. It was like spring all-day, all-year. It was really suitable for agriculture, but most plants died on this island full of miasma.

Only dark attribute plants could survive, but most of them were rare and hard to cultivate.

Not to mention that the dark attribute plants could only be used as herbs, materials for potions, materials for monsters’ evolution, and so on.

It wasn’t suitable for agriculture at all.

Still, Ainsley was optimistic as she looked around the barren territory with nothing but dead black trees, hard black soil, and occasional purple or golden mineral veins.

“There should be a good place for mining on this island, but since the previous family didn’t say anything about mining, it means that it’s tough to pierce the ground…”

Ainsley mumbled as she checked the marked territory first to make sure that the territory was absolutely safe.

She ensured the people’s safety and health issues before discussing the island’s overall condition.

“I see from the report that this island has no forest, no mountain, no cave, no other natural elements other than dead trees and hard, contaminated soil.”

Ainsley looked at her elite people as she spoke, waited for them to digest the information before continuing.

“I wonder how the monsters can live in this kind of environment.”

Obviously, the herbivore monsters couldn’t live here at all. It means that only the carnivores roam around the island, which directly elevates the island’s danger level.

“Also…some of the scout teams create a rough list of monsters living on this island, and most of them have either earth, darkness, or metal attributes.”

The type of monsters that had this kind of attribute were usually reptiles. It wasn’t the same kind of reptile that lives inside the Roid Valley.

The reptiles living here…should be way more violent, aggressive, and dangerous. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Maybe…a lot of them would be a dinosaur type.

“Let’s move in a group of five people. Don’t get too far from each other and if you experience any discomfort, immediately notify the healer and doctors in your team.”

Ainsley borrowed one healer and one doctor for three teams. Thus, for ten teams, there were around three healers and three doctors.

The remaining one team with no healer or doctor was assigned to Ainsley’s elite group, and Nouvan would be the healer.

“Right, check whether we can use our spatial storage smoothly or not. Also, the phone signal…”

Ainsley checked the phone signal and internet connection on the island as she instructed her people to do their preparations.

As she expected, there’s no internet connection here and the phone signal was quite bad.

The unknown material on the island should be the one disturbing the phone signal or maybe because the island was too far away from the Godlif Country or any other countries.

This place is really deserted…

After making sure that everything was okay, Ainsley immediately left the white territory and led the fifty people along with her close people to explore the island.

Since the island was too big, Ainsley only decided to explore the areas which weren’t too far from the base.

“I want three teams to explore the north side and another three for the south. You guys can spread out again, and each team should explore other smaller areas in their assigned areas.”

Ainsley’s group would explore the west since the east was close to the ocean, and it might be more dangerous than other areas.

After the assignment distribution, the group immediately spread out to explore the areas and wrote a report to Ainsley.

After three to four hours of exploring, the group gathered at the base again and started to exchange information.

The team heading North was the first to report the situation.

“As you guessed before, boss. The monsters around here are mostly dinosaur types. There are tons of low-level monsters and mid-level monsters, but there are almost no high-level monsters.”

The team only met one high-level monster on the North side, and they managed to hide from the monster.

“We also find more purple and golden veins over there than our base. But these mineral veins don’t seem to be veins…it is more like a strange water stream…”

Some streams are bigger than others, and it could be said as a small river already.

The North team leader handed two bottles of purple and golden liquid that they acquired from the streams to Ainsley, which instantly aroused everyone’s interest.

“…streams? River? The one I saw previously were all mineral veins. How come there are small rivers and streams?”

Ainsley was taken aback. She handed the unknown liquid to Axelle as she furrowed her eyebrows.

This island is getting more and more mysterious, ah!

Is this really a treasure island?
