Chapter 248: Chapter 214: Sharing the Secret Poison

“Be alert, prepare for battle.”

Diya glanced at the Heavenly Curtain obscured by the Rain Curtain, having an epiphany, “Observer, do you have an exploration Miracle that works against the reverse Golden Rain?”

If the white mist of the Sea of Knowledge decreases visibility through gloom, then the Golden Rain of the Time Continent obstructs vision with intense light. Aside from the surrounding vegetation, mages can hardly see whether the plants within ten steps are large trees, bushes, or little monsters, as everything is a shimmering golden hue.

Just like with the white mist, the vast majority of exploration Miracles are unable to penetrate this Rain Curtain, making expeditions on the Time Continent essentially no different from those in the Sea of Knowledge.

The only difference is whether monsters drag you down into the sea or jump out from behind a tree to knock you on the head with a blunt object.

However, in Ash’s eyes, the Void Realm was like a girl in a short skirt who had lifted just a bit of her mysterious domain for him. He hadn’t seen the whole picture yet but could at least see the absolute territory.

The “Void Realm Telescope” was still effective, and the Void Realm Map still displayed the 24 grids surrounding them.

It seemed that because an automatic car was loaded, the map also displayed the car’s health. They had plowed through quite a few trees along the way, and the car’s health had already dropped below 50%, but it could recover 1% of its health every few minutes, so there was no need to be stingy with its use — as long as it didn’t fall apart completely.

Besides that, the Void Realm Map also showed the direction of the White Bull’s advance, with the four hooves clearly imprinted on the Light Screen. The White Bull did not travel in a straight line but with a slight curve. However, because the White Bull was so massive, to them, these ants, the slight curve was like a seemingly flat sea surface — not perceptible at all.

But Ash noticed a problem — the map’s left and right seemed reversed. When the sports car moved to the left, their cursor would run to the right.

It wasn’t a big issue; turning the map 180° manually would solve the problem. After all, it was an internal beta version of the company; Ash wouldn’t be surprised if the Void Realm Map suddenly froze, displayed a blue screen, or popped up warnings.

Speaking of which, what if the game froze? Without a way to summon the task manager or shut down the system… Would knocking oneself unconscious count as a physical power-off?

As he pondered, the sports car approached the “worth visiting” green area. Ash halted the automatic car and took a closer look at the detailed information of the area, his face changing instantly:

“There are some White Speed Dragons ahead!”

Sonia took a moment to register the information, but Diya’s eyes lit up, “Some?”

“That’s right, some!”

“Some White Speed Dragons, worth a visit.”

“Social knowledge creatures?” Sonia blinked, recalling the data she had seen over the past few days, and soon she became as excited, “Could it be a resource point?”

“What’s a resource point?” Ash appeared somewhat bewildered.

He had rested at Freyja’s house for several days and had crammed a lot of common Mage world knowledge, but information about the Time Continent was considered high-end knowledge, equivalent to scholarly articles from his previous life, not something a non-Two-winged Mage would need to understand.

Searching for the Time Continent within the Blood Moon Veil, the most common search results were “The Love of the Time Continent,” “Abandoned in the Time Gap,” and “Chasing Time to Find You.” Apparently, the general perception of the Time Continent was — it’s convenient for romance.

After all, swimming all day in the Sea of Knowledge with unimpressive scenery does not have the romantic vibe of the Time Continent. Plus, with the word ‘time’ incorporated, it gave screenwriters plenty of room for imagination, able to adapt and fabricate stories. Ash had read some of the synopses and felt that the portrayal of the Time Continent in the Veil, apart from controlling time, could also cause gender changes, accelerate childbirth, speed up death, and facilitate affairs. In short, it was the perfect stage for torturous love stories.

Later, when Ash arrived in the Kingdom of Gospel, he hadn’t done much official work, so he had not done any preparation before coming to the Void Realm for the exam. But his lack of preparation was not without reason — because the Sword Maiden had definitely done her homework.

Diya looked at Sonia in surprise, and Sonia spread her hands, “The Observer lost his memory before.”

“Is that so, like the Mage in that Fairy Tale ‘The Mage with Amnesia and the Innocent Girl’?”

“I’ve never heard of the Fairy Tale you mentioned.”

At that moment, both felt a ripple but did not continue the topic. Instead, they explained to Ash, “Resource points are special areas that began appearing on the Time Continent, often guarded by social knowledge creatures. These creatures drive Technique Spirits to manage resource points, so resource points often have rare resources that we Mages can also use. If we’re lucky, we might even obtain rewards beyond the Experience Treasure Orbs!”

Diya added, “But the social creatures in resource points are also tough to deal with. Unless you’re a Combat Mage specialized in area attacks, you would be in chaos faced with an assault by social creatures. I once attacked a resource point and had to flee because I almost died. But now we have three people…”

“Then let’s assign tactical positions,” Ash said, “The abilities I possess mainly include the Miracle ‘Sword Barrier’ and the Technique Spirit ‘Heart Sword.’ ‘Sword Barrier’ can provide remote defensive support, and ‘Heart Sword’ can perform ranged attacks. Unless something unexpected occurs, I’ll be the ranged attacker. Oh, I’ve also recently created a new Miracle ‘Dash,’ which is a short-distance movement Miracle.”

“You created a Miracle? Let me see it later,” Sonia said, “I haven’t had much change recently. I possess the counterattack Miracle ‘Water Moon’ and a series of close-combat Miracles derived from the Wave Motion Sword Sect.”
