Chapter 925 Discovery Of A Lifetime
The Captain and Azarok were prepared to meet death head-on, even in the face of potential danger.
As they continued falling deep inside the massive chasm, the sunlight gradually faded, replaced by a consuming darkness that seemed to swallow them whole, pulling them further into the abyss.
After five minutes of free fall, they finally landed on the floor of the immense hole.
BOOMM!!!
BOOMM!!
They landed on their feet a second apart, and their impact tore the earth, creating a wide crater stretching into the distance.
As they both emerged from the crater and took in their surroundings, their eyes widened in shock and disbelief, their breaths caught in their throats.
Around them lay a vast deposit of unearthly stones, shimmering with a dark, metallic sheen interspersed with iridescent veins pulsing with a faint, eerie glow. The sight resembled millions of stars in the night sky.
"Vylkr alloy," the Captain muttered, her eyes brightening with excitement as she bent down to dig one of the stones, a treasure beyond their wildest dreams, from the earth with her bare hands to confirm her suspicion.
Despite their ability to see clearly at night, the radiance from the stones deeply embedded within the earth provided enough light for them to pick up every little detail of their surroundings.
She secured a smaller piece of Vylkr alloy to show the Queen uncover it," the Captain remarked, a sharp glint passing through her eyes.
and the Inner Circle so that harvesting could begin immediately before the Sleeping Fox Runaway City discovered this vast deposit and capitalised on it for themselves.
"You're right. It's great that we didn't turn back and abandon this mission; otherwise, we wouldn't have uncovered such tremendous valuable resources," Azarok responded, securing the head-sized Vylkr alloy for himself.
Even though he knew he would be granted a large deposit of the Vylkr alloy they had discovered, he didn't trust the Inner Circle to keep their greed in check and prevent it from consuming them.
"Our bravery in facing whatever challenges we come across has yielded us this reward. As for those who abandoned their mission and returned to the City, I'll ensure they are not allowed back in my Unit. The other teams and units can have those cowards," the Captain responded, her expression serious.
She didn't comment on Azarok's actions of securing a Vylkr alloy for himself because he had earned it through his bravery and willingness to follow her no matter the danger they might encounter. She even planned for the remaining ninety members of her Unit to take as much as they could carry as their rewards to show them that their bravery had not been in vain, thereby boosting their morale to even greater heights.
Nonetheless, once the harvesting began, she was confident they would be put in charge, so she didn't need to carry one for herself on her way back.
"I'm done," Azarok said with a satisfied smile, understanding that the Captain had been waiting for him so they could leave.
The head-sized Vylkr alloy was wrapped in cloth and tied to his waist. Anyone who tried to touch would lose their hands before they even got close to it.
"Let's return to the surface and inform the others," the Captain nodded. She strapped her spear to her back and gazed at the towering wall leading to the distant surface.
