Tantai Yingda jumped in fright at the glare and hurriedly explained submissively, "It was in the Dark Void Sea not far from the Void Forward Base, about fifteen years away. There was quite a bit of drifting debris there. I originally wanted to get a small ferry vessel and take my clansmen there to collect scrap to sell... If you need it, Senior, I can provide the coordinates."
He had never expected the chip to come from a fifteenth-tier Crystal Ancient commander's battle armor. He was so nervous that he blurted out everything, including the drifting debris he had originally intended to conceal.
"Hmph! You've got quite the nerve." Chen Xiuwu shot him a glare. "You dared to wander recklessly into the Dark Void Sea? Aren't you afraid of dying in there?"
In the vast Void Sea, most regions were in fact a deep, silent darkness without light or discernible direction. Only areas where Tianhe flowed through, or gathered into marshes and lakes, could be considered normal life zones suitable for exploration.
Even experts at the True Immortal Realm did not dare enter the Dark Void Sea rashly. With Tantai Yingda's mere Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, he could not survive long in the Void Sea at all. Once he lost his bearings in the Dark Void Sea, it was practically a dead end.
Tantai Yingda was rather helpless. "There are too many explorers in regions where Tianhe flows, and too few places to pick up overlooked treasures. We don't dare go anywhere too far from the base, either. Nowadays, quite a few small exploration teams would rather try their luck in the Dark Void Sea near the base. It's dangerous, but if they run into a pile of drifting debris and find something valuable, they can become rich overnight."
"Enough."
