The Treasure in the Great Stele Flies Up

Stone Tablet Wasteland.

The name that was just given.

We can't exactly call it Beetle toilet or something like that, can we?

Several people surrounded the largest stone tablet that had been pulled out.

The intact stone tablet that was pulled out was a full twenty meters tall.

This is equivalent to Kevin lifting an entire building by himself.

Furthermore, this stone tablet is six meters wide and three meters thick.

"If only it were filled with gold."

Looking at the enormous stone tablet, Pairo couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

However, this possibility is clearly not very high.

After all, the contents inside medium and small beetles are different, which means that the size of Beetle excrement is mainly determined by what is inside.

Kurapika nearby, glanced at the stone tablet and then gazed into the distance.

Based on current observations, the number of small, medium, and large stone tablets is roughly equal, with no single type appearing to be more numerous.

After doing some calculations, he remarked, "If these huge stone tablets were filled with gold, they would be enough to drive down the price of gold in the market."

Because this gold was so pure and so heavy.

If such a large stone tablet is filled with gold, then it would truly weigh thousands of tons.

Its weight would be five or six times that of a medium-sized stone tablet.

"That's true. I was too greedy and blinded by gold." Pairo nodded.

Hearing this, Bianluoke chuckled and said, "Who doesn't love these little golden creatures? Gold is a color specifically chosen to represent wealth."

Upon hearing this, the people around couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Nobody dislikes gold.

Kevin, meanwhile, stroked his chin.

He wasn't very familiar with the theories of this world, but according to the theories of the world he once lived in, Ninety-Nine percent of the gold was actually buried deep in the Earth's core.

That is, a place about three thousand kilometers above the ground.

That was the world of the past, of course.

But regardless, if the composition of the world is roughly the same, digging deeper into the earth will only reveal more treasures.

So, for that Beetle...

It needs things from underground; aren't the materials on the surface just garbage to it?

It's just excrement.

I shook my head to clear my mind of these wandering thoughts.

So much gold.

That's just enough to make two or three pieces to share with the others.

Compared to the gains, this gold was insignificant, but it provided immense emotional value, and its value became immediately apparent upon returning to human society.

It's not that I don't want to give more, but it's unnecessary, because there are quite a few things to take back, and gold is the least valuable item to use for that.

Thinking of this, Kevin touched the stone tablet in front of him.

Given the hardness of the stone on the surface of this monument, it's not that Kevin is looking down on others, but unless one has a special Nen ability, it would be very difficult to cut open the stone on the surface of the monument.

Of the current members of the Exploration Team, only Tewashi is capable of effectively cutting through rocks.

His upgraded chainsaw has reached its maximum cutting capability.

Cutting these stones will be easier for him than for Kevin.

In addition, unless the amount of spiritual energy reaches a million, it is very difficult to separate these stones.

This is the best protection.

Moreover, only a small number of humans will ever come to the Dark Continent; it is impossible for humans to colonize the Dark Continent on a large scale.

Thinking of this, Kevin shook his head, patted the stone tablet, and began to cut the large stone tablet.

When the cutting reached the inside of the stone tablet, Kevin felt the pressure ease.

"Um?"

It's not like gold, which softens easily when cut; rather, when you loosen your grip, you can feel something tangible inside.

The movement then stopped, and sand and gravel slid out from the gap.

"Sand?"

Kurapika watched curiously.

What flowed out from the crack was a translucent, emerald-green sand.

This was something they certainly hadn't expected.

I always thought it would contain some kind of mineral, but it turned out to be sand.

Kevin picked up a clump of sand from the flowing sand with his index finger and thumb.

I poked it on my finger and looked at it.

It's undoubtedly a mineral, and I have no particular craving for it.

This indicates that it is a mineral that cannot be used in medicine.

"You can't tell what's useful just by looking at it."

Bianluoke also got a little bit on the ground.

Kevin kept rubbing the sand between his index finger and thumb, and as he rubbed, he realized something was wrong.

He extended his index finger and pressed it against the cut, allowing his Nen Aura to flow into it.

Everyone watched this scene unfold.

Then, a rustling sound followed.

A large amount of sand surged out from the cracks, as if it were being manipulated to gather into a ball in the air.

Kevin cupped his right hand and waved it in the air as if giving a command, and the sand flew around in the air as if it were being directed, changing into all sorts of shapes.

Very flexible.

With Kevin's control, it transforms into various shapes.

Until it turned into a ball of sand, which Kevin held in his hand.

"This is?"

It was difficult for the onlookers to immediately understand what properties these sands possessed.

Is it easily manipulated?

Or something else?

Kevin smiled and looked at the sand ball in his hand, saying, "Conduction. This sand makes it easy for Nen Aura to be conducted through it. Most importantly, when it's gathered together like this, it can also store Nen Aura."

With that, Kevin tossed the ball of sand in his hand.

Kurapika quickly took it.

Nen ability are all covered by a layer of Nen Aura, so when the sandbag landed in his hand, he immediately felt the Nen Aura from Kevin being injected into it.

Nen Aura) is essentially a person's Life Energy, combined with the control of will.

Therefore, it has a strong personal touch.

It is easy to identify Nen Aura that are not one's own.

Kevin beckoned with his finger.

All the Nen Aura injected into the sand was extracted and returned to Kevin's body.

"See? It's still under control."

This can be considered a technique of the Emission Type.

Because of its extremely high conductivity, when Kevin withdrew all of his Nen Aura, the sand no longer possessed Kevin's Nen Aura characteristics.

The sand scattered, Kurapika cupped it in his hands, enveloping it in his Nen Aura.

Instantly, he sensed how smoothly the sand conducted its Nen Aura, as if the sand had become part of his Nen Aura.

There was absolutely no feeling of obstruction.

It can be controlled at will, just like controlling one's own Nen Aura.

However, Kurapika is completely unable to control his Nen Aura like Kevin.

You can only let the sand fly around in the air; there's no way to shape or modify it.

That requires more refined control.

Normal Nen user can at most let their Nen Aura flow freely.

Being able to make sand change and flow in the air like Kurapika is already very good.

"This would be extremely useful for controlling Nen Aura; it's practically the perfect training tool."

After trying it out, Kurapika said...

Kevin let more sand flow out through the gap, allowing it to fall into the hands of others.

He can even control the Three-Tails, making it circle around him.

Furthermore, the Three-Tails' control ability surpasses that of everyone else, except perhaps Kevin.

She turned the sand into three balls and slapped them back and forth with her three tails, as if she were performing acrobatics.

Looking at the sand in his hand, Pairo said, "This stuff is a treasure to Nen user."

95

The lossless transmission of Nen Aura.

Pairo could come up with many uses for it with a little thought.

Many people will benefit from this.

Emission Type, Manipulation Type, Enhancement Type.

All three can benefit from this type of sand.

It's important to know that many Nen user's Nen ability are related to external objects.

If this sand could be smelted and added to the materials of some items, it would definitely enhance the Nen ability of these people.

Even when using ordinary weapons, they are easier to control.

Just like integrating it into a weapon and having the Enhancement Type strengthen it, it would be much easier than strengthening a normal weapon.

Kevin, however, saw more.

The Nen tool (niàn jù) and the God Text.

Without a doubt, this kind of sand is the best material for making Nen tool.

From now on, I will need the help of this sand when making any Nen tool.

If this sand is used to prepare the ink for writing, then the written God Text will surely last a long time.

It's important to know that this sand not only has conductive properties, but it also has the function of storing Nen Aura).

This item will definitely be useful to their Exploration Team, and it will certainly play an important role in their future exploration of the Dark Continent.

For a moment, everyone was playing with the sand in their hands, their minds racing with thoughts.

"This place—must be under our control."

Kevin drew a conclusion.

Everyone else nodded without hesitation upon hearing this, because it was indeed true.

Regardless of the quality of the Treasure Diamond, it is at least A-Rank material.

There are so many stone tablets, and Beetle in the ground continue to defecate here.

That means this is a continuous source of A-Rank materials.

And gold, needless to say, needs no further explanation.

Natural currency.

Whether in the Dark Continent or back in human society, it has its uses.

Now this kind of gravel has appeared again.

For Nen user, that is even more crucial.

Those who will explore the Dark Continent afterward will all be Nen user, so the existence of the sand is actually the most important.

The three different stone tablets all contained things that were useful to varying degrees.

And there are so many of these stone tablets as far as the eye can see.

More will be added later.

This area must be preserved.

"Let's just call these things 'Nen Sand'."

By this time, it was almost completely dark.

The group found a sheltered spot nearby and set up a temporary campsite.

By the moonlight.

The Stone Tablet Land in sight appears somewhat lonely and gloomy.

It felt like entering a giant graveyard.

"I never expected to find three kinds of treasures in such a strange place, and in such large quantities. The Dark Continent is truly full of treasures."

Bianluoke leaned against the nearby stone tablet, sighing.

These words truly represent their biggest takeaway from today.

At this moment, Kevin was holding the Three-Tails, and in his hand was a piece of gold that had been cut off. He had shaped the gold into a crown shape and had also incorporated some Nen Sand into the gold to wrap it up.

He carefully shaped the small crown and placed it on the head of the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails creature, wearing a golden crown, swayed back and forth, seemingly very satisfied, and could even control its Nen Aura with its Nen.

Seeing this, Kevin had another sudden inspiration. He sculpted a Thin Board out of gold and then incorporated the Nen Sand into different points on it.

"Let's see if we can stand on it and control it to float up."

The Three-Tails immediately jumped up, merging its Nen Aura into the flame.

He immediately manipulated the Thin Board of gold, sending it flying into the air.

"Haha! The Three-Tails can fly!"

The Three-Tails Beast was extremely happy, standing on the Thin Board and floating around in the air.

This scene gave Kevin a great deal of inspiration.

He made four different Gold Bracelet in the same way and wore them on his hands and ankles.

Using his powerful control abilities, he immediately manipulated the four Gold Bracelet, which dragged him into the air.

However, being a first-timer, he was clearly not very familiar with the game, and his floating posture was wobbly; Kevin could only maintain his balance.

However, after a short while, he got used to the feeling in the air and, through manipulation and the movement of his own body, instantly took to the air.

Seeing this, Pairo and the others immediately stood up.

I looked up at the sky by the moonlight.

Kevin had already taken off.

And because of the precise control and dragging of his Nen Aura, Kevin flew faster and faster in the sky.

With the swaying and dragging of the body, this feeling was incredibly exhilarating.

It has a very distinct sense of control, completely different from the feeling of flying with the flames of the Phoenix.

The Phoenix's fiery flight is essentially a collaboration between Kevin and the Phoenix; the Phoenix carries Kevin through the air using flames and by attaching itself to him.

In this situation, Kevin could freely change his direction in the air at will, and fly at extremely high speeds.

But in essence, it doesn't actually offer that sense of complete control.

But things are different now.

This sense of control is extremely pronounced, allowing for many complex maneuvers in the air.

Of course, performing these movements requires swinging your own strength, which is quite troublesome.

But the feeling of flying this way is completely different.

Wuhu!

After circling in the sky, Kevin landed.

"Wait, wait a minute! That's not right!"

However, it was clearly his first time landing, and landing is much more difficult than taking off.

Lacking experience, he fell straight down, carving a furrow in the ground before crashing into the stone tablet.

"Cough cough cough, not yet proficient, needs more practice."

Kevin coughed as he patted the mud and stones off his body.

Pairo was the first to run over.

"Uncle! Can I play? How can I do it like this?"

He longed to fly so much.

For humans who cannot fly, flight will forever remain only a dream.

Even Nen user cannot fly under normal circumstances.

Only some Nen user possess special Nen ability, or can use special methods to make themselves fly.

Because of subconsciousness and past experiences, it is almost impossible for Nen user to fly freely in the sky using their Nen ability.

Nen ability are deeply intertwined with the subconscious.

Humans are not born with the ability to fly; flying will always remain just a dream.

Therefore, most Nen user can fly do so through external means.

But even this kind of flight is something many people dream of.

Bianluoke and Kurapika ran over, their eyes also sparkling with excitement.

Only Rukira seemed somewhat indifferent.

I don't understand.

After all, he has wings.

Kevin was still brushing the sand and pebbles off his body. He looked at the others, smiled, and shook his head.

"It's very difficult. It requires excellent control skills, and the body must also move in accordance with the control. You guys don't have any problem with physical fitness."

"But your control over Nen Aura is still far from perfect. The way the four bracelets fly is too crude and not yet refined. We can refine it gradually later, so don't rush it."

Kevin could see their eagerness, so he offered a rosy picture to reassure them.

The way he made the four bracelets fly was incredibly crude.

Fortunately, he was physically strong enough, had enough Nen, and wasn't afraid of falling directly from the sky.

That's why it can fly so violently.

There are so many areas for improvement.

But this method of flying is definitely usable.
