Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

A gentle wave of the hand, a breeze swept over the earth, instantly gathering the ash-gray dust on the ground into a small gust, which then filled the transparent glass bottle Alka had prepared to the brim.

Soul Dust is an invaluable material, and this can be considered a significant find.

After putting away the bottle, Alka approached the stone pillar.

He looked at and touched the stone pillar, lightly knocking on it to feel its composition.

”I’ve never seen this kind of stone, and it’s quite hard.”

As Alka spoke, the brown Earth Card emerged.

He stretched out his finger and lightly scratched the stone pillar, causing it to crack. Like bubbles rising through mud, a crystal emerged from within, falling into Alka’s hand.

This was a brown crystal about the size of a palm, with energy inside that felt extraordinarily concentrated.

”This material is a bit like the Earth Element Crystal Core you used before to create this Earth Card,” Chadite said, looking at the crystal in Alka’s palm.

Since such Elemental Cores are very rare and it’s Chadite who handles the external reservations and acquisitions, she has experience with them.

Alka nodded, looking at the crystal stone in his hand. Holding it up to the sunlight, the sun’s rays pierced through the crystal, emitting a brilliant brown light like gold.

”It could be considered the same type, but this one in my hand is a bit more precious. However, the Earth Element inside is too condensed, making it difficult to utilize.”

Its rarity and energy intensity certainly surpass the Earth Core he had previously purchased.

But in terms of usability and malleability, his previous one is definitely easier to work with.

Each has its advantages.

Staring at the crystal, Lucilia suddenly said, ”Do you think there’s a possibility that this crystal might nurture a new half-elemental life upon its return?”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lucilia. Alka pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but say, ”You know, that might actually be possible.”

Because he couldn’t help but recall the Elemental Theories he’d studied before, theories he was still exploring.

These theories included speculations on how Elemental Life forms converge, suggesting that most Elemental Crystals are cores left behind after elemental life forms die or are products of elemental life forms.

Some experiments have even shown that new Elemental Life can indeed emerge through Elemental Cores.

But there’s still a significant difference from half-elemental creatures, although they might be similar.

Julia thought about the element-rich environment of the Stone Forest and shook her head, saying, ”Even if new half-elemental bodies could be produced through such crystals, it would actually be very difficult.

After all, the single-element power is not pure, and the concentration of the Earth Element is not high. It’s too difficult to nurture new life in such an environment, and they themselves can hardly survive.”

These words certainly make sense.

That’s the reality, as can be seen from the cracks on those elemental creatures.

”What a pity, we don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck for them.”

Alka referred to the simple understanding they had earlier.

The Stonehoof Race migrated here from the Elemental Interface that was on the brink of destruction.

If their words were true, being able to migrate here could be considered a stroke of luck. Unfortunately, they moved to a world dominated by water elements.

If it were the previous world, where various elements were balanced, establishing an area with a single-element dominance would be simple.

But now the Endless Sea is an ocean world, inevitably dominated by water elements. Other elements will be suppressed to varying degrees, making the emergence of single elements extremely difficult.

Except for water elements.

For these half-elementals, what they need is pure single elements, not just high concentrations of a single element.

The two seem similar, but are quite different.

Holding the crystal, Alka stored it in space.

Then everyone continued to advance towards their destination while chatting.

Before reaching their destination, there was another crystal they could obtain.

Under the moonlight, the Evil Spirits around them could only watch passively.

...

”Boom.”

From afar came the violent sound of rocks rolling down.

Alka and his companions instantly stood still at the camp, Alka squinted slightly, looking in the direction of the sound.

Another loud rumble followed, as if a mountain was collapsing, one wave after another.

Chadite shook her head, saying, ”No way, the direction of the sound is too far.”

Clearly, the distance was too great for her silver wave to probe.

The Earth Card floated beside Alka continuously, as in such a region, this card was the most useful. So Alka naturally let it float outside at all times.

Following the rumbles, Alka could clearly feel intense fluctuations in the Earth Element, suggesting someone was using similar element gatherings to attack.

”Be careful; it wasn’t naturally caused.”

Subsequent fluctuations became even more intense.

”Let’s go take a look... This doesn’t feel like something Demons or Evil Spirits could cause.”

The Earth Element’s fluctuations were too high; it was either someone with control over elemental treasures or people from the Stonehoof Race.
