Chapter 304: CCCIV. Saint Travels East
Island exploration progressed in an orderly manner.
Two days later, on January 17, 2690 of the Holy Spirit Calendar.
The Black Sail exploration team had penetrated roughly seven hundred li deep into the island, moving at an exceedingly fast pace.
Celeste’s team of biologists made a significant discovery; the island harbored some flora and fauna from the Western Continent that were thought extinct, consisting mostly of ferns and small butterfly-like insects.
They held academic value but little economic value.
Magic Beasts indeed existed here, in the inland river valley area, home to pythons and red-furred monkeys, as well as water antelope and the like, not much different from the other islands of the East Sea, belonging to the same category of Magic Beasts.
With the capability of the Black Sail members, they naturally didn’t worry about these low-level Magic Beasts which even Silver Level adventurers wielding weapons could handle.
The experts in the team could chop them down with ease.
Don’t even hope to sell these Magic Beasts for much; they’re commonplace wares, inferior even to the special sea beasts found around Heaven Port.
But the geologist provided news that made Liszt’s eyes light up; the deeper they went, the more ash rock they found—indicative of a gold mine.
Even if the scholars of the Western Continent didn’t understand the specific formation process of gold, they had figured out through experience that gold mines often occurred around volcanoes.
