Devour: Emperor Yan

"Are you wondering what Thunderstone is?"

Above the castle, a white-bearded, portly old man formed by the convergence of beams of light smiled and said, "Thunderstone, that's the name I gave it. This kind of stone is unique to this realm within a realm. It wouldn't be worth much in the outside world, but it's something unique to this realm within a realm."

"Look closely, this is Thunderstone!"

A picture of Thunderstone appeared on the screen, along with a wealth of detailed information.

More than 10,000 adventurers watched intently.

"However, Thunderstone is different from Cosmic Crystal. Thunderstone contains very low energy, making it difficult for your energy detectors to detect. To make things easier for you..."

"This is a map showing the distribution of Thunderstone."

The white-bearded, fat old man waved his hand again, and a map appeared next to the screen.

"This is a simplified map of the Realm Within a Realm. The entire Realm Within a Realm is divided into 26 areas based on mountains, swamps, deserts, forests, etc."

"Thunderstone is distributed in some of these 26 regions, and its approximate distribution can be seen on a simplified map."

Go!

"Let's go dig for thunderstone!"

"You can kill each other for the Thunderstone, I won't interfere."

"As long as you have enough Thunderstones, you can come to me and exchange them for any treasure you desire."

A hint of madness gleamed in the eyes of the fat, white-bearded old man. "So, if you want the treasure, go fight! I'll be waiting for you in the castle."

"Once you get the Thunderstone, come to the castle and exchange it for treasure with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-bearded fat old man's figure slowly disappeared, leaving only the huge screen floating above the castle.

......

silence.

The room fell silent.

After a moment, everyone started to discuss it.

in the crowd.

"Great!" Thor said in a low voice, his face showing excitement.

Luo Feng and Hong were also excited and joyful.

Unexpectedly, this treasure within a world is obtained in such a way.

Exchange with Thunderstones?

This way, everyone will have a chance.

immediately.

"Hurry up and act!"

"Hurry!"

"...Squads 12, 13, and 14, proceed to the desert area on the map, specifically area 023, to mine Thunderstone..."

People from all five factions were shouting loudly, quickly dividing up areas and teams.

"All free adventurers, if you want to leave the Thunder World, if you want to leave Azure Star alive, please help us!"

"We will purchase the thunderstone you mined using cosmic crystals; you won't lose out..."

"Quickly, everyone get moving!"

"Over here, over here!"

They quickly divided into teams, each responsible for their own excavation area, and then sprang into action. Everyone was in a great hurry and full of enthusiasm.

This applies to most free adventurers as well.

As for whether to save the Thunderstones after mining them and exchange them for treasures, or to sell them to the five major factions for Cosmic Crystals, we'll decide later.

"Walk!"

Groups of two to three hundred people flew swiftly in various directions.

Lin Kun and his six companions were from the 10th squad of Beilong City. At this moment, they had already gathered a team of more than 300 people and quickly headed to a designated area.

The vast crowd surged through the air in all directions towards the realm within a realm.

In flight.

"I have some good news for you. A few days ago, when we were traveling to the core area, I discovered two areas with lightning stones while scouting around. However, I didn't think they were valuable at the time, so I ignored them," Babata said slyly.

"Two areas with Thunderstone?" Upon hearing this, Lin Kun and his companions were overjoyed.

The simplified map provided by the white-bearded, fat old man described the distribution of Thunderstones in a very brief manner.

It simply marks out a large area.

It should be noted that the entire boundary within the boundary is millions of kilometers long and wide!

That simplified distribution map only lets people know that there are Thunderstone distributions in a certain area; as for the specific locations, you still need to find them yourself.

Thunderstone has a very low energy response, much lower than that of cosmic crystal, so it is very difficult to find the Thunderstone buried underground!

Unexpectedly, Babata provided two areas with Thunderstone so quickly.

"However, those 200 million troops should have already begun to enter the outer perimeter of the boundary."

Babata said, "I believe that the 200 million-strong army must have brought in valuable detection equipment. At that time, the five major factions will also be able to make up for this disadvantage. We don't have much time to gain an advantage in the early stages."

"It doesn't matter. We're not trying to monopolize all the treasures in the entire Realm Within a Realm. We just need to dig up as many Thunderstones as possible, and then sneakily exchange them for a few treasures while things are in disarray," Lin Kun said.

"Yes." Luo Feng and the other two nodded.

They would be satisfied with just exchanging a few treasures.

They can't take any more with them.

The four major organizations and two holy lands have come with such a large force; if they are not satisfied with their gains, how could they possibly give up?

There are a total of 312 treasures, which is a limited number. These forces and organizations will be satisfied with at least most of them.

......

A giant sphere of light floated high in the distant sky, showering down endless light.

A group of more than 300 people flew over the boundary between the two worlds.

Then along the way, team members would occasionally leave the group quietly, with several or even a dozen people escaping one after another.

Clearly, everyone has their own ideas.

Everyone tacitly understands this.

By the time they reached the middle of the flight, the number of people in the team had dwindled to less than half.

After dark, everyone simply dropped the pretense and went their separate ways under the cover of night.

Lin Kun's team of six was also mixed in among them, not noticeable at all.

......

咻咻 咻 ~

Within a world, the sky was pitch black.

Six streaks of light were rapidly flying close to the ground.

It was Lin Kun and his six companions.

"Babata, how much longer until we reach the first location?" Lin Kun and the other three were all in a state of excitement.

"At this pace, we should be able to reach the Thunderstone area in about 3 hours," Babata replied.

"Great!" Lin Kun and the other three were all beaming with joy.

There are 68 types of treasures, totaling 312 items.

Each one was worth thousands or even tens of thousands of times more than the wealth they had previously amassed!

Any one of these treasures could be enough to make powerful domain lords envious and even drive them to madness and bloodshed.

"If we don't seize this rare opportunity, when will we?"

"Haha, if we just grab one of these items and take it out, we'll be star-level mini-tycoons!"

......

Hours later, it was still pitch black.

A grassland area, amidst lush weeds.

Lin Kun and his six companions squatted here.

"At a depth of about 800 meters below, there are thunderstones. There are a total of 128979 thunderstones within a radius of 20 kilometers."

Babata said, "There should be more in this area, but we need to explore more carefully. I can only explore a 20-kilometer radius right now."

"128979?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Kun and the others began to breathe rapidly.

According to the exchange rate.

The lowest-ranked item, NO.68, is the Tier 5 Force Weapon: Heavenly Fire Wheel, which can be redeemed for only 100,000 Thunder Stones!

In other words, all the Thunderstones found in this area right now, if mined, would be enough to exchange for the Heavenly Fire Wheel and there would still be some left over!

Thinking of this, Hong's face turned red.

Thor's eyes widened in disbelief. "Holy crap!"

"This is really a windfall," Luo Feng couldn't help but say.

"Let's go down there quickly! Everyone split up and dig up all the thunderstone in this area as fast as possible!"

After Lin Kun finished speaking, he was the first to burrow underground. "I'm heading east."

"I'm heading west. Tie Nanhe, you stay behind and cover up the traces around here." Luo Feng said as he also burrowed underground.

"Yes, Master." Tie Nanhe nodded hurriedly.

"Walk!"

Thor, Hong, and Ao Gu followed suit, burrowing underground and each taking charge of a direction.
