Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1158 - 310: Treasure Hunting in the Ruins, Former Overlords (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Imperial Tomb Village Library.

The Explorer sat in the reading area, with three books stacked in front of him, flipping through data related to the Bright Star Sea Area.

Although he could directly consult the guidance to investigate which island in the Bright Star Sea Area contained ruins as appeared in the reflection scene,

he preferred the process of solving the mystery himself rather than using shortcuts.

This was also one of the ways he gained happiness in the game. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Just like in ancient times, some players liked to use cheats to directly modify attributes in games, while others placed more emphasis on exploring and growing themselves.

The Explorer's fingertips brushed over a line of text on the parchment page of "Bright Star Sea Area Chronicles."

According to the book, there are three islands in the Bright Star Sea Area that grow "Blood Poison Flowers."

The first island is westward in the Bright Star Sea Area: Tide Song Island.

It is a stratified island formed by coral reefs and sedimentary rocks, which rises and falls with the Golden Wheel's alternating tides.

Every three years, the island sinks underwater for a period of time.

The east side of the island is a crescent lake, which is actually composed of seawater, and the lake bed is covered with Star Sand.

The west side is a group of tidal caves that produce "Sea Moon Stones."

In terms of vegetation distribution, the island's main plant is "Star Spot Seaweed."

Blood Poison Flower is a very rare plant on the island, which was once noted as the clan land of the "Tide Song Clan," but this race has long disappeared.

The second island is southwest in the Bright Star Sea Area: Ash Remains Island.

This island was created by descending forces to adapt to the Monster World environment, made of volcanic rock, with the surface temperature keeping above 60 degrees Celsius year-round.

The book uses aerial imagery to depict the island's environment, showing that the island's eastern part has seven active lava rivers, flanked by cooling volcanic rock plains, with heat waves rising from the entire island.

The main plant is a non-spiritual plant called "Fire Pattern Fern," whose roots can absorb the residual heat of magma to grow, while other areas are basically barren.

Near the coast, Blood Poison Flowers exist in small numbers.

The third island is eastward from the Colorful Mist Coast, near the Ascension Sea: Mist Conceal Island.

This island is shrouded in gray mist all year round with very low visibility.

The island's surface is covered with honeycomb-like cave entrances, within which sunlight never reaches, fostering a large number of monsters favoring cold environments.

Ah Lan from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, when seeking hunting spots for the novice groups, consulted him about related issues.

Back then, he recommended Mist Conceal Island.

This region has a high number of monsters, with a variety of different monsters residing in different underground caves, suitable for team hunting and large guild growth.

He even suspected there's an unexplored Underground Space beneath this island, for otherwise, the resources on Mist Conceal Island alone wouldn't suffice to sustain such a large monster population.

What's strange is that the species on this island are recorded to increase annually in the library's data.

Despite scarce resources, it attracts a large number of monsters, which doesn't make sense.

Although monsters on the island don't respawn after being killed, the monster density even exceeds that of the Jile Army.

Therefore, he suspects there's certainly rich resources stored beneath this island.

The island's vegetation mainly consists of shady-tolerant plants.

Like Bone-Eroding Moss, Fog Entwining Vine, and others.

Blood Poison Flowers are also scattered on the island in certain quantities.

Calling out the forum interface, he repeatedly reviewed the reflection scene edited by players, checking the Alien Race's standing position.

Among the three islands, he believes the most suitable site for ruins is Mist Conceal Island.

The advertisement scene is in a dense forest area, and the environment of the first island, Tide Song Island, sinks underwater every few years, making it difficult for tall trees to grow, and the land shown in the scene lacks traces of ocean-type plants.

The second island, Ash Remains Island, has very sparse vegetation, making it impossible for lush forests to form.

Though Mist Conceal Island also has inconsistencies, compared to the other two islands, it most aligns with the environment shown in the scene.

Checking the livestream, a player mentioned in the comments section.

Could it be possible that Blood Poison Flowers from the other islands were transplanted to another island?

Or perhaps sea birds carried seeds to nearby islands and they managed to grow there?

"The possibility is slim; Blood Poison Flowers aren't Spirit Plants, but ordinary plants in Monster World with limited value; it's unlikely that Alien Race would actively transplant them, though it's possible sea birds carried them, but the environment on other islands may not be suitable for Blood Poison Flower growth, making Mist Conceal Island the most probable."

Discussing with viewers in the livestream chat, the Explorer finally decided to personally venture for a search.

Leaving the library, he headed to the Armed Vehicle Factory, upgrading his flight vehicle's endurance capability.

Then he reached the Colorful Mist Coast via the Teleportation Array.

Having arrived countless times, yet every visit to Colorful Mist Coast lightens his mood.

In view, dawn cast its slanted glow, and the entire coast was at this moment enshrouded in swirling colorful mist.

The colorful mist, gently twirling with the sea breeze like gauze brushing over the beach, revealed numerous players vacationing and entertaining at the coast.

The tide sang lazily, white sand glittering like silver.

This is why the Colorful Mist Coast Region consistently ranks first in the player-favorite destination list, and is the preferred location for most players for leisure time and vacationing outside of hunting.

Calling out his vehicle skateboard, he headed deeper into the sea.

Near the coast, he could spot numerous figures of Fishing Faction Players, mostly on makeshift rafts, drifting near the coast.
