"Cough—"
"Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough..."
More than ten minutes later.
At the bottom of the empty canyon, Linsey crawled out of a patch of flat soil.
But as he burst out of the ground, his body unusually pitched forward. He had to brace himself with both arms to keep from collapsing face-first, then began coughing violently.
"My throat... itches..."
"Pah—"
Linsey coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
At the same time, Life Source Material rapidly circulated within him, striving to ease the discomfort coursing through his body.
"Radioactive ore, source-materialized."
"This is really intense..."
After recovering for several minutes, Linsey pushed off with both hands, spun around in place, and lay sprawled at the bottom of the canyon.
Swish—
The blazing sunlight shone directly onto Linsey's face.
The sun, which usually brought warmth, seemed even more irritating at this moment.
Material: Radioactive Source Stone A radioactive raw stone fused with source material. The powerful radiation of Radioactive Source Stone instantly destroys DNA, kills cells, takes human lives, and contaminates the surrounding land and environment. It can be used as a material to craft other items. A rare ore material of moderate value.
Linsey blinked.
He did not want to move at all. He only wanted to lie there like a snail and wait for Life Source Material to heal his body.
Thinking back on what had just happened.
His guess before burrowing underground had still underestimated the capabilities of this Radioactive Source Stone.
After being affected by source material.
The ore's radiation had greatly increased in both quantity and intensity, while also taking on the traits of source material.
Beneath the mine, all the soil had already been severely contaminated by it.
The Multifunctional Survival Gear Linsey wore had completely failed after just over ten meters.
