After half a minute, the part of the monster that hadn't been pushed into the Wall of Fog started to be covered in gray. The gray parts lost their luster, and the radiance of mana also dissipated.
Everyone's spells suddenly collapsed when they fell on that gray part of the monster's body.
The monster roared in pain, but it had completely lost control of its body. A gray radiance flowed over, and as if it had been petrified, it turned into a gray stone statue.
In an instant, the monster's gray stone statue collapsed into countless fragments, and the part of it that had been pushed into the Wall of Fog completely disappeared.
Lin Yun let out a sigh of relief when the battle was over, and the others also let out sighs of relief.
If this unkillable monster had continued to fight, the victor would definitely have been that monster, not them.
Reeves smiled at Lin Yun, thanking Lin Yun. After all, if it hadn't been for Lin Yun, they would have all died.
Dai Nuosong impatiently turned and entered the mountain range, continuing to move towards the depths. As for Derton, he had an expression as if his father had died. He fiercely glared at Lin Yun before following Dai Nuosong towards the depths.
Reeves didn't follow them, and instead moved closer to Lin Yun.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, it's all thanks to you this time. If not for you, none of us would have survived. Thinking about it is really frightening. I don't want to face that tireless and unkillable monster again.
"After this matter is over, we welcome Lord Merlin to our Tower of Storm as a guest. I think the cooperation between our Tower of Storm and the Gilded Rose should be a bit deeper. The Gilded Rose's Blue Magic Potion and Radiance Potion are things our Tower of Storm needs now …"
Reeves suddenly became polite and even took the initiative to express goodwill. Lin Yun was a bit baffled. It was reasonable to say that the Tower of Storm was a lot stronger than the Gilded Rose. They had dominated Storm City for a few millennia, and even the Odin royalty couldn't shake their position. Why would they suddenly express goodwill?
After all, the relationship between the Gilded Rose and the Sacred Light Alliance wasn't very good, it could even be said to be very bad. The conflict between the Crown of Thorns and the Sacred Light Alliance was already on the surface, and the Crown of Thorns had already attached itself to Lin Yun. They were bound to be hostile in the future, and with the mad dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance, a war was inevitable.
Although the relationship between the Tower of Storms and the Holy Light Alliance wasn't good, it wasn't that bad either. After all, the Holy Light Alliance was on good terms with all the other forces …
Now that the Tower of Storm had taken the initiative to express goodwill, Derton might be overthinking things. Those mad dogs might even bite the Tower of Storm as well.
Lin Yun was puzzled, but he didn't refuse Reeves' goodwill. The Tower of Storm owned Storm City, which was considered one of the three largest ports in the east of the Odin Kingdom. The resources of the Endless Sea could be found there, and if one wanted to obtain the resources of the Endless Sea, the Tower of Storm was a hurdle that couldn't be bypassed.
Being able to cooperate with the Tower of Storm was naturally the best, as he would be able to exchange for a large amount of the Endless Sea's resources.
Reeves exchanged a few words with Lin Yun before flying towards the depths of the Endless Sea. While flying, Reeves had a smile on his face as he looked at Derton's back in the distance with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
'Stupid guy, those mad dogs of the Sacred Light Alliance. Do they think that they have nothing to fear? That their actions over the years have made others not dare to provoke them?
It's just that no one wants to bother with a mad dog … '
'What does the wealth of these ruins count for? No matter how much wealth there is, it's just a pile of inanimate objects. Mafa Merlin is the greatest wealth.
'That idiot Derton is said to be an Artisan. Haha, a dogsh * t Artisan …'
'Could it be that Mafa Merlin didn't notice the power he displayed when cracking the Endless Mountain Range?
'Mafa Merlin used different methods on each of those pillars, and he found the key points in a few minutes. Even if I'm not proficient in alchemy, I know that Mafa Merlin is a lot more powerful than any Artisan I've ever seen. He might even be comparable to the three deans of the Starry Sky College.
'He already has one foot on the threshold of the Saint Alchemy realm!
'Not only is he proficient in potioneering, but he also has formidable attainments in the field of arrays. Even his Magic Tool, that gorgeous wheel Magic Tool … I remember that Mafa Merlin had such a Magic Tool, but it was only a True Spirit Magic Tool. But now, it has become an Extraordinary Magic Tool.
'And those terrifying steel battleships … All of this shows that Mafa Merlin's knowledge of potioneering, Magic Tools, puppets, alchemy devices, alchemy arrays, and other such things have already reached the threshold of the Saint Alchemy realm.
'Moreover, Mafa Merlin's relationship with the Starry Sky College seems to be very good. Don't you understand what this means?
'Mafa Merlin is definitely backed by the Great Astral Warlock, and he might even take over the Starry Sky College in the future!
'An alchemist on the verge of becoming a Saint Alchemist, a 5th Rank Heaven Mage at such a young age, and the Great Astral Warlock, the Starry Sky College, the Gilded Rose, and the Andalusia Kingdom … As long as my brain isn't damaged, I should know what to do …'
Reeves sneered as he looked at Derton. He had already decided that it didn't matter if he offended the Holy Light Alliance. Compared to the Starry Sky College and the Great Astral Warlock, the Holy Light Alliance was a bunch of mad dogs.
Lin Yun didn't know that Reeves had already dug out a lot of information that others had overlooked. He even paid attention to the Andalusia Kingdom.
Others might look down on the Andalusia Kingdom, but as the former Patriarch of the strongest Family in the Andalusia Kingdom, he had only used a year to promote the Merlin Family to the strongest Family in the Andalusia Kingdom. This couldn't be ignored.
The Tower of Storm occupied one of the three largest ports of the Odin Kingdom and was sitting on the wealth of the Endless Sea. This wasn't something a group of brainless trash could do. Reeves, the legendary Mad Storm Master, also knew how to fight for the Tower of Storm's benefits and avoid potential risks.
By the time Lin Yun charged deeper, he saw Derton and Dai Nuosong surrounding a King's Pillar, apparently trying to figure out how to pull it out.
In the depths of the mountain range was a huge circular plain with twenty-four King's Pillars stuck in it. These were the remaining twenty-four King's Pillars.
Apart from these King's Pillars, there was nothing else.
The Holy Light Alliance occupied half of the territory, while the Chester clan occupied the other half. It seemed that they had already divided up the 24 pillars. Reeves stood at the edge of the plains, calmly looking on as if he wasn't tempted at all.
When Lin Yun flew over, Derton immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Merlin, you are too late. These pillars were discovered by me and Sir Dai Nuosong, so they are ours now. You can see if there are others in other places."
'That damned greedy leech Mafa Merlin finally gave me an opportunity this time. He said that whoever discovered them first could put them in their spatial ring. Now, these strange pillars are all mine.'
'After obtaining these strange pillars, I'll look for an opportunity to snatch away Mafa Merlin's remaining pillars in the future. There must be a big secret inside. After all, the power of Gods had once appeared here. Maybe these pillars are God's Magic Tools!'
Lin Yun had a strange smile on his face, but he didn't say anything.
And on the side, Reeves, who had been quietly paying attention to Lin Yun, suddenly showed an expression of 'as expected'. When he looked at Derton, the ridicule in his eyes became even more intense.
Derton, this stupid groundhog, is really hopelessly stupid …
'I'm not proficient in alchemy, but I can still tell if something is good or bad. I can at least see the difficulty of these things. Mafa Merlin simply doesn't care. That can only mean one thing: That idiot Derton absolutely can't take away these pillars.
'He might still be feeling proud of himself, such a pitiful fool …'
Anderfa, who was next to Lin Yun, was also trying to stifle his laughter.
'Damnit, I knew it, when did Merlin become so kind-hearted? He had been holding back for a long time, waiting for that idiot to put them in his spatial ring.'
'Damnit, I knew it, Merlin must have dug a hole for these idiots, waiting for them to jump in.'
Lin Yun had an indifferent expression. He didn't pay attention to Derton and the others, who were busy trying to crack the King Pillars. He was instead observing the surroundings.
The seventy-two King Pillars had all appeared. This was definitely the place where the seventy-third Godfiend had reincarnated. Furthermore, the place where he had landed was right in front of them. The seventy-two King Pillars formed a circle, and the center of the circle was the place where the seventy-third Godfiend had once resided.
After searching for over half an hour, Lin Yun didn't find any useful clues. This place was too desolate and too clean, there wasn't a single trace left behind. It was as if all traces had been cleanly erased.
Lin Yun couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. It was very difficult to determine what the 73rd God reincarnated into just by relying on the things here, and he couldn't even determine the specific time.
Lin Yun didn't find anything, and on the other side, Derton and Dai Nuosong didn't find anything either …
In fact, Dai Nuosong had already given up ten minutes ago. No matter what method they used, they couldn't pull out those seemingly simple stone pillars. They even thought of violent methods, but they still couldn't find anything. They couldn't even damage those King Pillars …
Dai Nuosong retreated, and Derton immediately occupied all the King's Pillars. All 24 King's Pillars were occupied by Derton. Unfortunately, as time slowly passed, Derton still couldn't do anything to those King's Pillars …
Meanwhile, Lin Yun had already gone to explore the surroundings. Dai Nuosong led the Chester Family's mages, while Reeves led the Tower of Storms' mages, and they also went to explore other areas.
After a few hours, everyone found many unique materials here. Although there wasn't a single living thing in the depths of the ruins, and it was completely desolate without even weeds, there were still a lot of ores and materials here.
The three major forces each occupied an area and started mining. If the value wasn't particularly high, they would give up on everything. After all, whether it was the Chester Family or the Tower of Storms, less than ten people had entered this place.
But on Lin Yun's side, they started a large-scale mining operation. The mining puppets were enough to form a huge puppet army, and at this time, regardless of whether they were good or bad, everything was extracted and transported away.
The three thousand mining puppets started excavating like locusts passing through, and a large amount of resources were extracted and transported away. The mineral resources here were all relatively high grade. Mithril ores appeared in large amounts, and a lot of them could be found by digging down a bit. Moreover, the ores had a very high content of useful minerals.
Most importantly, there were many first-rate ores here: Eternal Dark Gold, Starry Sky Mithril, Bloodstone, Artis' Tear …
The output of these materials was very low in Noscent, and it was simply impossible for such a rich vein to appear. It was as if someone had piled up a large amount of rare materials and then piled a pile of ordinary mountain rocks and loess on the surface.
The Chester Family's Heaven Rank powerhouses personally mined and summoned many magic beasts to help, but the mining efficiency kept dropping. The Tower of Storms used Extraordinary Magic Tools to mine the ores, and their mining process was even more simple and crude. They just kept digging, and no matter what they dug out, they would first pack it up and then go back and find people to collect it.
Three days passed in a row, and the Holy Light Alliance's mages were still fighting against the 24 King's Pillars. The other three forces had already mined more than half of the richest vein within a few dozen kilometers.
Derton was so anxious that his eyes were red. He looked at the 24 ordinary King's Pillars in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it. During these three days, all methods had been tested, and even Extraordinary Spells had been used to attack.
The more it was like this, the more extraordinary these stone pillars were. However, there was nothing they could do about it. In addition, during the past three days, the other three forces had already begun their mining activities in full swing. A large number of top-grade precious resources had been excavated. Sometimes, they would even be mined around the platform in the pit.
It was as if someone had used a large amount of precious materials in advance to pave the way. The precious materials were buried under the surface layer of stone one after the other, and they only needed to bend down to pick them up.
Just these precious materials were enough for this exploration. After all, although the resources found in ordinary ruins were the least valuable, it also depended on the situation. The best materials could be used as True Spirit Magic Tools that hadn't been assembled, and some could even be used as Extraordinary Magic Tool materials.
The materials that could be used as Extraordinary Magic Tool materials were all rare materials that had a very high success rate in crafting Extraordinary Magic Tools.
No Heaven Rank powerhouse didn't want to use an Extraordinary Magic Tool. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Heaven Rank powerhouses would never touch an Extraordinary Magic Tool, let alone an Extraordinary Magic Tool that was completely compatible with them.
This kind of Extraordinary Magic Tool could only be custom-made for oneself. Upgrading a custom-made True Spirit Magic Tool to an Extraordinary Magic Tool was the only way. Unfortunately, there were very few people who could accomplish this in this era. Ten thousand years later, less than 1% of the Heaven Rank powerhouses would be so lucky.
With so many rare materials gathered together, the success rate of upgrading a True Spirit Magic Tool to an Extraordinary Magic Tool would increase a few times. Although the final success rate would be less than 30%, it was a lot better than the previous three to four percent. At least they could give it a try.
After three days, Lin Yun was very satisfied, Dai Nuosong was very satisfied, Reeves was also very satisfied, and even the Heaven Mages of the two forces were very satisfied. Even if the materials they obtained couldn't upgrade their True Spirit Magic Tools to Extraordinary Magic Tools, it was definitely enough to tailor-make two or more peak True Spirit Magic Tools for them.
This kind of benefit was a lot more practical and valuable than the ruins they had explored before.
But Derton wasn't satisfied, and he was at a loss.
Looking at the mages excavating resources a few kilometers away, the Heaven Mages working as miners, none of them felt that there was anything wrong with this. It wasn't just Derton, the other members of the Holy Light Alliance had red eyes.
In the past few days, they had seen many kinds of materials suitable for Holy Light Mages, and there were even some that could be combined together. Any peak Artisan proficient in Magic Tools would be able to tailor-make a first-rate True Spirit Magic Tool for them.
Unfortunately, even though they were so close, they could only watch helplessly and defend these stone pillars with their lives. There was nothing they could do.
Derton threw away the tools in his hands and fiercely kicked Wang Zhizhu in front of him. He couldn't bear it anymore.
"Don't care about these damned stone pillars, no matter how valuable they are, we can't get our hands on them. But those damned resources, those rare materials that can be picked up by digging up a bit of soil, if we don't make a move, they will all be dug up by those greedy vampires.
"Look at that devil-greedy Mafa Merlin, he actually used several thousand puppets to gather them! "Really, damn …"
Derton's mouth became crooked from anger and he couldn't help cursing. He ultimately threw away these King Pillars and rushed towards those rare material mines.
The members of the Holy Light Alliance couldn't bear it anymore. If not for the strict hierarchy of the Holy Light Alliance, the group of mages would have already started protesting Derton's decision.
Just as Derton left the area where the King Pillars were located, Lin Yun appeared like a ghost, stopping Derton's footsteps.
"Mafa Merlin, what are you doing? This is our Holy Light Alliance's territory! "
Derton had a dark expression as he blocked in front of Lin Yun, almost using holy light to purify Lin Yun.
Lin Yun had a puzzled expression as he pointed at the King Pillars.
"I thought Sir Derton had already given up, but I hadn't expected that you hadn't. Please continue, I won't disturb you, we'll continue mining."
After saying that, Lin Yun led the thousand puppets away. Just as he turned around, Derton's face turned green, as if he had eaten dog shit.
