One month later.
Obviously, no Demon-Hunter Sorcerers had set foot in this area before.
Therefore, without any competition, Grimm continued to find new entrances to the Burrow World. He had already found forty-four mission targets, which meant he had earned forty-four Sorcerer Essences as a reward.
Forty-four Sorcerer Essences could be exchanged for forty-four years of work by an Arcane Sorcerer in the Sorcerer World. What Grimm had paid was only four months of Demon-Hunting Expedition mission time.
Moreover, Grimm's mission completion speed was only average among the elite Demon-Hunter Sorcerers.
As such, Grimm finally felt the benefits of having a Demon-Hunter Honor Badge.
Originally, Grimm was not qualified to participate in this special mission, but due to his relationship with the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer, he was chosen to participate in this high-level Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer mission.
Coincidentally, this was also a low-risk, technical mission that needed to be completed quickly, so Grimm did not fall behind too much.
Whoosh!
The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft cut through the sky. Suddenly, a large ravine that stretched for tens of thousands of miles appeared in front of Grimm's eyes.
The ice fields on both sides of the ravine were extremely flat. It seemed that some geological movement deep in the earth had caused a huge crack to appear on the ice fields here. It was about a hundred meters wide and about a thousand meters deep.
It was all white, and it was unclear whether it was due to the fog below or the ice and snow.
"Caw, Young Master, let's go down and take a look. Who knows, we might find some rare creatures and treasures in this world. We'll be rich then!"
Myna egged Grimm on.
Even without Myna's reminder, Grimm already had the intention to dive into the ravine to explore.
"Hmm." Grimm nodded and controlled the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft to descend steadily.
"Huh?"
Just as they descended into the ravine, Grimm noticed something was wrong.
On the cliffs of the ravine, the highest part was covered with a layer of ice and snow that was about fifteen meters thick. For the Burrow World, although this was a place with a relatively thick accumulation of ice and snow, it was nothing special.
But at that moment, Grimm discovered something unusual.
This was because Grimm discovered that due to the cross-section, he could easily see that the ice layer seemed to be divided into many layers by blood-red marks.
Even though Grimm did not know much about the history of ice and snow, he could still infer some unusual information with his shallow knowledge.
It seemed that a large number of creatures would die every once in a while in this canyon, dying the ice on the surface of the canyon red.
As time passed, the red layer of snow was covered by ice and snow, and the scene in front of Grimm's eyes was like the rings of a tree, becoming "snow rings".
Or could it be said … that this was the cycle of the evolution of a certain biological characteristic of this world?
Naturally, Grimm sensed that he might have discovered something important!
However, it was also possible that … it was covered by some kind of red mineral that was blown over by the blizzard?
"Young Master, why did you stop?"
The Myna asked in surprise. This Myna did not seem to care about the abnormality of the ice layer at all.
Grimm did not reply. Instead, he suddenly opened up the upper half of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft's metal cover and touched the blood-red part of the ice layer with his hand.
Creak!
Using his hand to dig out a piece of red ice, he melted it in his palm. Then, Grimm sniffed it carefully with his hunting nose.
"That's right, it's the smell of blood and not some kind of mineral stain."
After obtaining a definite answer, Grimm eliminated the possibility of mineral stain. His expression changed slightly as he looked at the bottom of the canyon with a serious expression.
Perhaps, there would really be a major discovery?
No, the first thing Grimm needed to do now was to collect a complete sample of the ice layer and hand it over to the battle command to see if there would be any unexpected rewards.
With that thought in mind, Grimm activated his magic and an ice sword quickly formed in his hand. With a low grunt, he slashed at the cross-section of the ice layer.
A moment later, a fifteen-meter long ice pillar was completely cut off by Grimm and stored in the Dimensional Gap.
On the ice pillar, there were roughly thirty or so blood-red layers that could be clearly seen.
"Uh, Young Master, this can't really be blood, right?"
Nodding, Grimm said, "It is indeed blood. It should be caused by some kind of conflict between some species in this Burrow World. When the time comes, I'll leave it to the Bright Sorcerers in the battle command to analyze it. "
With that said, Grimm controlled the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and once again descended steadily to the bottom of the canyon.
The cliff below the ice layer was a layer of rocks with various minerals. Compared to the Pyrodust World, which was full of fire crystals, the Burrow World was really too poor.
There were many traces of Snowthread activity on the cliff, but most of them were extremely narrow holes. It was impossible to determine if they were connected to the Burrow World, and they could not be used as mission targets.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, as Grimm approached the bottom of the canyon, a strong aura of death began to spread.
This feeling was actually somewhat similar to the Sea of Bones of the Human Will!
At the same time, Grimm's keen senses detected that the surrounding temperature seemed to have increased slightly. The traces of ice and snow had also disappeared, and even the plants on the cliff no longer had the protective layer of ice crystals that was common in this world. They were just growing on the bare cliff.
This …
The white fog at the bottom of the canyon was not the ice and snow that Grimm had imagined, but a real fog that defied all common sense!
This proved that the temperature at the bottom of the canyon was higher than the average temperature in this world, which was why there was fog and not ice and snow.
His expression was incomparably solemn.
Grimm did not choose to dive into the canyon immediately. Instead, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he flew towards a strange flower on the cliff not far away.
Standing on the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, Grimm stared at the strange flower under the Mask of Truth.
There were a total of six gray petals, each about the size of a palm. The center of the flower emitted a thick gray aura of death.
However, this gray aura of death had a melodious fragrance to it, unlike the traditional aura of death that was ferocious and unwilling.
"Strange, this plant clearly goes against the rhythm of the laws of this world. It doesn't conform to the laws of evolution in this world. Could it be a special plant that was born in this special geological environment?"
As he speculated, Grimm decided to pluck it and preserve it as a botanical specimen.
However, just as Grimm's hand was about to touch the gray flower, the flower suddenly shrunk to the size of a flower bud with a "pu" sound. In the blink of an eye, it retracted into the crevice of the cliff and disappeared without a trace.
"Caw? Young Master, it ran away, it ran away! "Myna's eyes widened as it pointed at the crevice with its wings and cried out in surprise.
"Huh?"
Grimm also exclaimed in surprise. With a "bang", he punched the crevice of the cliff, searching for traces of the strange gray flower.
However, this strange flower was obviously hiding deeper, and Grimm did not find anything.
As the rock layer was frozen solid by the laws of the main body of this world, Grimm took out the Sabbatic Goat Skull and switched to the Sabbatic Goat Skull Hammer after feeling a slight pain from his punch.
The Sabbatic Goat Skull itself was a great Level-4 creature, the skull of the World Lord. It was also connected to the unimaginable Mana Pool of the Black Iso Tower, and its interior was supported by the mysterious seal of a Level-6 Stigmata Sorcerer from the Black Iso Tower.
Such a material was an unimaginably luxurious material for a small Level-1 Sorcerer like Grimm to use as a hammer.
Boom!
The Sabbatic Goat Skull hit the rock layer. It was as if a highly concentrated shockwave impacted the interior of the rock, producing a dull roar.
He retracted the Sabbatic Goat Skull.
Under Grimm's watchful eyes, the originally solid rock began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye. The densely packed cracks spread one after another.
Then, with a crash, the densely packed rocks scattered.
Every piece of broken stone was the same size, about the size of a thumbnail, neat and tidy.
Grimm's eyes flashed as he picked up one of the rocks. The originally solid rock seemed to have become extremely loose after being bombarded by the highly concentrated shockwave from the Sabbatic Goat Skull Hammer.
With a light pinch, it scattered like a piece of soil.
"Caw? Young Master, is this the Rock Disintegration Spell? "Myna looked at Grimm in surprise.
This was also the first time Grimm discovered that after the Sabbatic Goat Staff was transformed into the Sabbatic Goat Skull Hammer, it actually had such a highly concentrated shockwave effect, and the effect was very shocking.
After happily keeping the Sabbatic Goat Staff, Grimm used the Repulsive and Attractive Forces to carefully dig out all the rocks.
A funnel-shaped cave with a diameter of thirty centimeters and a depth of nearly three meters appeared. As the depth continued to expand, it was nearly two meters in diameter.
And at the bottom of the cave, in the white rib frame, a black energy crystal emitted a fragrant smell of death.
