Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Byron pulled out the alchemy knife he had just used, cut the crystal on the ground into several small pieces, and used the method of use analyzed by his all-knowing eye to perform a special tanning and deconstruction.

After doing all this, Byron took out a few not-so-important items from his spatial bag and wrapped them in crystals.

Looking at the few small bags in front of him, Byron immediately picked them up and threw them forward one by one, imitating the way a person walks.

While throwing things around, Byron kept his eyes glued to the Worms marked on the 3D map, observing whether they made any unusual movements and whether they could detect anything.

As it turned out, Byron's conjecture was correct.

Even after all the stones in their hands had been thrown away, not a single worm noticed; they all remained quietly in their underground nests.

Seeing this, Byron did not hesitate any longer and began to cut the crystals under his feet, cutting them into suitable sizes and then tanning and deconstructing them.

Byron was in such a hurry because time was running out.

At this moment, the crystallization erosion has begun to spread towards the arm.

If he delayed any longer, Byron really didn't know if he would be able to reach the wizard's camp.

After all, he couldn't predict whether everything would go smoothly on the way forward, or whether any unexpected events would occur.

As for completely solving the crystallization erosion problem through research, that's beyond Byron's current capabilities.

Before long, Byron cut out several pieces of crystal large enough to completely cover his shoes and made a simple shoe cover by sewing them together.

Time is limited, so this is the only way to do it.

After doing all this, Byron stepped on the crystal to test it, and only after confirming that he wouldn't fall did he feel relieved.

Without hesitation, Byron stepped out of the area covered by the crystals and onto the desert.

In an instant, a soft sensation traveled from the soles of Byron's feet to his heart, as if he were walking barefoot on the desert, and at the same time, it felt as if it were stepping on Byron's heart.

The next moment, everything was as usual!

And at the very moment he stepped down, Byron could see it clearly through his all-seeing eye.

The force that was originally transmitted to the ground is transformed into countless tiny forces acting on the ground after passing through the layered stacked structure of that crystal.

In this way, there was not much vibration, just like the vibration produced by the wind blowing through sand and gravel.

Moreover, Byron did not see any unusual activity from the Worms on the 3D map.

At this point, Byron was finally completely relieved.

He then ignored the crystal covering the ground and the dissected Worm corpse, and started walking towards the direction of the wizard's encampment.

Bathed in the morning sun and reflecting off the crystal sand, Byron's silhouette seemed draped in a pale blue veil, exuding an air of mystery.

Of course, Byron didn't forget to collect the body of the student in the tight-fitting clothes.

He walked up to the apprentice in the tight-fitting clothes and looked at the corpse with its abdomen ripped open and its crystallization even more severe.

Byron thought to himself, it seems that even death cannot escape the danger of being crystallized.

It appears that crystallization erosion does not spread through blood flow or other means.

Thinking of this, Byron shook his head slightly, then sighed, "My friend, I keep my word. I said I'd collect your corpse, and I will."

Of course, that's what I mean, but Byron wasn't stupid enough to disturb the corpse, unless he didn't want to live.

After taking his payment from the apprentice, Byron cut a small section of hair from his head.

"Friend, where I'm from, there's a saying about using hair to represent the head and about using cenotaphs, so this lock of hair is equivalent to you. I'll find a place to bury it, so don't worry."

"Since you haven't said anything, I'll take that as a yes. Alright, I'm leaving."

After saying this, Byron waved his hand and turned to leave.

Turning around, Byron's expression became somewhat serious.

Just now, he found some of the answers he was looking for in that corpse.

Combined with the information he had obtained from the Worms, he was able to roughly understand the situation.

However, these are all just speculations and need to be verified.

Even if we use the omniscient eye to deduce, we still need enough data to test it.

It's not something you can just do on a whim.

That wouldn't be an all-knowing eye; it would be better to just call it a wishing machine.

As the sunlight moved, Byron's shadow on the ground grew longer and longer.

.........

Several days later, Byron sat at the foot of a hill, his eyes burning as he looked at the Worm corpses before him.

After more than a day, Byron finally emerged from that cannibalistic desert.

Even after leaving that place, the mere thought of that desert still sends shivers down Byron's spine; it was terrifying.

Along the way, he saw no fewer than ten people die in that desert, and he himself almost didn't make it out!

However, in the two days after leaving the desert, things went more smoothly than he had expected.

He encountered almost no accidents along the way; everything was so peaceful.

However, the crystallization erosion became increasingly severe at this point.

He had crystallization to varying degrees in almost all of his extremities. His muscles had lost their activity, lost their corresponding sensation and pain, and had completely turned into energy crystals. He was even unable to move his bones to make any movements.

He also tried cutting open the crystallized limbs to observe the situation and try to find out what the problem was.

The cut did not even bleed; the flesh and blood had all crystallized.

You can even see the bones gradually transforming into crystals through the muscles that are turning into crystals.

But Byron was still completely baffled as to how crystallization erosion erodes flesh and blood, and what the erosion process was.

To further understand crystallization erosion, we would need that item.

Thinking of this, Byron gently brushed his hand across the spatial bag.

However, there is one positive aspect: since crystallization begins at the nerve endings, it has not yet had a significant impact on Byron's actions.

This also allowed Byron to verify his conjectures during his journey.

Through repeated controlled variable experiments, combined with the analysis of the All-Seeing Eye and a bit of luck, Byron was finally able to determine that the vibrations were a signal for the Worms.

A signal to start dinner!

For the Worms, the vibration is like food falling to the ground, calling them to come and eat.

And why is magic able to make them even more insane, and why is it so alluring to them?

Because that's also a signal to start eating!

The reason why fluctuations in magic are also considered a signal to start a meal is because magic is also a form of energy.

The Worms, being semi-energy-based creatures, feed precisely on energy.

That's why it doesn't need a digestive system or excretion.

Therefore, vibration is just a signal. Although it does not meet the standard pattern of food appearance, some worms are still willing to try it for food.

But with the added fluctuations of magic, it would be like food falling to the ground, a sign that it was time for the Worms to eat.

Therefore, this is why the student in the tight-fitting clothes distracted so many worms when using witchcraft.

This explains why the worms, who don't eat flesh and blood, could bite a large hole in his abdomen.

The Worms don't eat flesh and blood; they eat the magic that exists in the belly of the wizard.

Byron was able to confirm this conjecture so quickly not only through experiments and analysis, but also because he had just witnessed a Worm eating normally.

A fist-sized energy crystal transformed from an illusion into a physical form under his gaze and fell to the ground, where it was frantically fought over by countless worms.

The last energy crystal was snatched by a large, muscular worm.

Yes, it's the one lying in front of Byron.

After swallowing it, Byron secretly followed behind it, and after the other worms left, he lured it out with great speed and killed it.

Finally, the energy crystal was retrieved from its body.

However, after Bebylon extracted a portion of the energy crystal, he put it into his spatial bag.

He didn't want to be carrying such a huge scourge on his journey.

The All-Seeing Eye, through its analysis of that tiny bit of powder, also determined what the energy crystal was.

Didn't we mention earlier that there are two major races in this world? One is the Worm Race, and the other is the Crystal Floating Body.

That's right, the energy crystals were formed from the materialized crystalline floaters that were originally intangible and drifting in the sky.

However, this raises another question: why did the originally illusory crystalline floating objects materialize?

As soon as one problem was solved, another one arose. Far from making Byron impatient, this only fueled his greater interest and motivation.

He discovered that this was not only about exploring the unknown, acquiring knowledge and information, improving his own strength, and helping him continue to live in the wizarding world, but also about fulfilling his own needs.

Whenever Byron solved a problem, he would feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction that brought him joy.

So Byron began to enjoy and pursue that state.
