Chapter 30 - Spreading The News

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gray cleaned up the hole he had dug with his own hands, but he still couldn’t help but think about it.

The matter with the Void Undead had come to an end, but it was hard to guarantee that such a dangerous situation wouldn’t happen to other Guardians.

It was hard to imagine what would happen if the Guardian was corrupted by the Void Undead.

Would the corrupted Guardian still have their own consciousness?

Or would their consciousness change and become a puppet of the Void Undead?

Or would they become one of those slow-moving, contagious zombies from TV shows and novels?

…

There were too many possibilities.

The scariest thing was undoubtedly that the corrupted Guardian would hide and wait for the Void Undead to attack before giving the other Guardians a heavy blow.

At that time, under the pincer attack from both inside and outside, the Guardians who were suddenly stabbed by their own people would definitely collapse!

The Will of the World’s defensive line would probably collapse on the spot.

Judging from what had happened today, it was obvious that Gray encountered the metallic arrow and the Void Undead crystal today because of the calamity-level earthquake that gave them the opportunity to appear in this world.

The metal arrow had shattered the Void Undead crystal, and the energy contained within it could even suppress the Void Undead. The existence of such a weapon was definitely meant for fighting against the Void Undead.

This also seemed to explain why this place had become a jungle, or rather, why the Guardians could not find any other intelligent life forms in this world.

The answer was obvious — they had been wiped out.

It was war, the same thing that the Guardians would do in the future.

The former owners of this land had fought against the Void Undead countless years ago and eventually disappeared in that battle, while the Guardians wanted to survive. They want to survive after successfully defeating the Void Undead.

Gray found it hard to comment on the success of the ancient civilization’s struggle. It was clear that this world was not under the control of the Void Undead. The warriors of the ancient civilization had clearly succeeded in stopping the invasion of the Void Undead. They did not give up their own world.

But at the same time, they must have paid an unimaginable price, causing the destruction of their race and civilization. Only the weapons that had once killed the enemies were buried in the forest, along with the growth of trees, still battling with the corpses of their enemies.

This was once the battlefield between the Void Undead and the ancient civilization, and it was likely that even now, there was still the legacy of both sides buried in this land.

In the long run, it was almost inevitable that something like what happened to Gray today would happen again.

But fortunately, the Void Undead were not the only ones who left behind relics. The ancient civilization also had their own relics.

Those were powerful weapons specifically used against the Void Undead. They were relics of a civilization that could effectively defeat the Void Undead.

Gray seemed to finally understand why the Will of the World had chosen this place as the front line to resist the Void Undead.

It was because there was probably something buried here that could kill the Void Undead and prevent their invasion.

Besides wanting to become as powerful as possible within this year, the Guardians also had another mission, which was to excavate and make use of the remains of their predecessors buried under the earth.

Gray had made up his mind to inform the other Guardians of the existence of the Void Undead remains, reminding them not to blindly come into contact with the black crystals.

As for the relics of ancient civilizations, Gray did not know much about them, and there was a limit to what he could tell the Guardians.

He did what he thought about.

Gray left the huge pit and randomly found a thicket to burrow into.

Putting down the dragon egg and loosening his shoulders, Gray opened the chat forum:

“May I ask someething? I have a yellow-skinned mouse with little red circles on its cheeks. Will I be sent a lawyer’s letter if I kill it?”

“Damn, you are amazing! You can encounter anything!”

“I want to see the mouse discharge electricity.”

“I want to see it 2!”

“What are you guys doing? It’s jungle survival, be more serious!”

“I heard from the boss that the troops have special abilities after reaching tier 3. My troop is an extremely large wolf dog. After leveling up, it might be able to spit fire!”

…

It was already the third day, and more and more Guardians were able to leave the safe house.

Unlike the depression and despair of the first day and the second day in this foreign world, those who were able to survive until the third day were at least people who had the ability to solve their food problems.

After being far away from the haze of the morning earthquake and having no worries in life, the atmosphere in the chat channel was much livelier than the previous two days.

However, Gray knew that this was probably only temporary. With the approaching of the Beast Tide on the seventh day, the tense atmosphere would only become more and more tense.

Many people had just stepped out of the safe house on the first day today. At this time, their troops had developed much more completely compared to the previous two days. Perhaps the fully developed troops had brought them a sense of security and made them temporarily not realize the cruelty of the jungle.

But after they had really fought against beasts that were stronger than them, they would be able to put away their temporarily inflated mentality.

Under such an atmosphere, Gray did not know how much effect his reminder would have. However, with the mentality of saving them one by one, he decided to reveal his discovery.

Before sending it, Gray was surprised to find that the public chat channel could actually allow nicknames. This was a good thing, as it could save Gray a lot of trouble.

Gray thought for a moment and changed his nickname to “Jungle Raider G.” This nickname didn’t have any special meaning. It was just something Gray had casually thought of. Then, he used this nickname to send it in the chat channel:

“Today’s earthquake revealed some ancient relic. I found traces of the Void Undead in it. It’s a black crystal that has the power to corrode people’s souls. Do not approach it! Do not look directly at it! This world is a world that was once invaded by them. Among the ancient relics, there are clues that can resist the Void Undead.”

After saying that, there were no splashes in the world channel.

After thinking about it, it made sense. It would be better to believe that there really was a yellow-skinned mouse that could discharge electricity in the forest than to believe that such a made up story.

Gray was not in a hurry. The earthquake was not limited to the vicinity of his safe house. It was estimated that more and more Guardians would witness the ancient relics.

When enough people recognized the ancient civilization, they would come back to search for the information Gray sent out.

Having done this, Gray felt that he had done his best.

Finally, the matter was settled. More than half a day had passed. It was time to continue searching for the mana crystals needed to hatch the dragon egg.

Gray wanted to have barbecued meat with the dragon tonight..
