I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 134

Chapter 134

“You’re quite enthusiastic now,” Fang Bai said with a chuckle.

“I thirst for knowledge,” Wang Kai replied seriously, making Fang Bai laugh.

“Alright, it’s good to be eager to learn. I’ll package the scene from just now and send it to you. It’s white and big. Remember, analyze it slowly. It’s something to strive for.”

Fang Bai encoded the scene of the two large white maggot-like magical beasts mating that he had just witnessed and transmitted it to Wang Kai’s mind. However, he suddenly realized that Wang Kai, whose Mental Power was not strong enough, probably couldn’t completely memorize and set aside this information like he could. He wouldn’t be able to remember it.

Realizing this, the mischievous thoughts that had popped up in Fang Bai’s mind dissipated, leaving him feeling a bit bored.

Wang Kai, sensing a bunch of garbled code in his mind, said, “Uh, uh, Village Chief, I can’t remember it either. Why don’t you remember it and pass it to me after I learn how?

Huh? Village Chief, Village Chief?”

Seeing that Fang Bai’s mood seemed to have changed, Wang Kai called out a few more times. However, Fang Bai, feeling bored, simply shook his head.

“Forget it, it’s nothing. Let’s keep moving.”

Wang Kai sensed that something was off with Fang Bai’s mood and immediately quieted down, silently following behind him.

Because the two were traveling underground and needed to maintain the spell effects at all times, coupled with Fang Bai’s constant curiosity about the situation inside the city, he had been using his Mental Power to perceive the outside world. This meant that his Mental Power consumption was quite high. Therefore, Fang Bai and Wang Kai would walk for a while and then stop to rest for a bit, meditating to fully recover before setting off again.

They did this even when their Mental Power wasn’t completely depleted. After all, they were inside Stone City, a place filled with dangers. Although Earth-traveling magical beasts were rare, they weren’t non-existent. If they encountered one, they would have to fight.

Occasionally, when Fang Bai saw a magical beast he hadn’t seen before, he would stop and follow behind it, using his Mental Power to perceive the spell model within its body. Only after obtaining the entire spell model would he turn and leave.

Fang Bai, who was constantly perceiving spell models, felt like he had discovered a new world. At this moment, he wasn’t even in a hurry to get to the Mage Tower in the city center. He was continuously collecting one different spell model after another.

“Wang Kai, after we go back, help me adjust the acquisition price for capturing magical beasts alive to twenty Fireball spell scrolls each.”

“Ah, okay,” Wang Kai replied, waiting beside Fang Bai and idly thinking about things while Fang Bai continued to observe the spell models.

Now that there was this method to easily obtain spell models, the value of capturing magical beasts alive had naturally decreased significantly for Fang Bai. They were no longer worth a hundred scrolls.

After chasing three magical beasts, Fang Bai slowly stopped and continued towards the city center area.

After all, he had Wang Kai with him, and the original purpose of this trip was the Mage Tower. So Fang Bai temporarily gave up on the spell models and decided to go to the Mage Tower first. He would deal with the spell models later.

They traveled intermittently and took a winding path. Having left in the morning, they didn’t reach the city center area until the afternoon.

The city center was a very broad concept, generally referring to a large area. The city center of Stone City was roughly the business district and residential area centered around a small park. So Fang Bai headed directly for this park.

When Fang Bai and Wang Kai arrived near the park, Wang Kai cautiously poked his head out of the grass in the park. Within the range of his Mental Power, his perception in terms of perspective, detail, and penetration far surpassed that of his physical eyes.

However, Mental Power had a drawback or shortcoming, which was that it could only perceive things within its range. Once something was outside that range, Fang Bai could at most passively receive fluctuations and get an extremely blurry image. He couldn’t see the specifics at all.

In terms of looking into the distance, Mental Power was far inferior to physical eyesight. Therefore, after reaching the area, if they wanted to find the white tower, they still had to choose to poke their heads out and use their eyesight to check.

Wang Kai, covered by several shields, looked around from above and then returned to a depth of five meters underground.

“Village Chief, I didn’t see any white tower or anything strange.

Could it be that Luo Qing made up the Mage Tower?”

Wang Kai didn’t seem to get along well with Luo Qing and didn’t forget to badmouth him a bit. However, Fang Bai just chuckled when he heard it.

“I don’t think he would lie to me. He also said that he only saw it for a moment, and then the Mage Tower disappeared.

It’s normal that we can’t find it now. It might have already disappeared. Even if it hasn’t, it’s a Mage Tower after all. It’s understandable that it could be invisible or in another dimension.

But how do we find it?”

Fang Bai pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea.

The Elemental Tide had caused such a huge commotion back then. Although the Elemental Tide had passed, Fang Bai didn’t believe that it wouldn’t have left behind any abnormal fluctuations.

Unless the Mage Tower had completely disappeared, it would definitely have produced unusual elemental fluctuations!

His Mental Power directly enveloped an area with a radius of over a hundred meters. Fang Bai actively collected or passively received all elemental fluctuations and analyzed them.

Seeing Fang Bai close his eyes and begin to perceive, Wang Kai immediately quieted down, waiting and thinking about how to badmouth Luo Qing some more.

He wouldn’t be comfortable if he didn’t badmouth Luo Qing a bit.

After about four or five minutes, Fang Bai finally analyzed some information from the messy elemental fluctuations and found some clues. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Let’s go.”

Wang Kai immediately came back to his senses and looked at Fang Bai. After waiting for a few seconds, a yellow light fell on him. A few seconds later, a yellow light fell on Fang Bai, and both of them sank into the ground.

Fang Bai immediately led Wang Kai straight towards the west. The soil naturally parted as they passed, and after they passed, the soil naturally closed up again. However, it still left obvious traces of disturbance, and the soil became much looser.

Fang Bai and Wang Kai walked for about a hundred meters and stopped again. Fang Bai sensed for a moment and then slightly adjusted their direction before continuing forward.

During this time, Wang Kai also extended his Mental Power, wanting to learn to perceive like Fang Bai. However, he didn’t seem to sense anything and could only follow behind Fang Bai.

Fang Bai would walk and stop, adjusting their direction from time to time. But they were generally heading west. They walked for about one or two kilometers before stopping, his Mental Power locking onto an open space about a hundred meters away.

“The elements surged out from here!”

“It’s confirmed. The Elemental Tide should have been caused by the elements that surged out from here.”

Fang Bai’s Mental Power perceived the various traces here, sensing the elemental power surging out from the curved spring.

According to Fang Bai’s perception, this elemental spring was very special. When he perceived it from this side, there was nothing there. He could only sense a blank space. However, when he turned around and his Mental Power crossed this area and then looked back, he could sense the existence of a gap, a gap that existed out of thin air.

“A spatial rift?”

This thought immediately popped into Fang Bai’s mind, and then he couldn’t help but think, “The Mage Tower should be inside, right?”

Fang Bai tried to use his Mental Power to probe into the spatial rift. However, due to the distance being too far, his Mental Power could only probe a range of about ten meters.

Within this ten-meter range, Fang Bai only felt that the elements were unprecedentedly active and dense. Besides that, he sensed a flat and smooth ground. It seemed to be a whole piece of flooring, similar to ceramic tiles.

Fang Bai wanted to get closer, to directly below the spatial rift, and then use his Mental Power to probe again. However… the shattered ground and the huge footprints where the spatial rift was located kept him rational.
