Chapter 158
In the endless night, a figure in white robes kept moving forward, carefully carrying a small figure in their arms, their wide robes flowing around them.
Bai Yi, being carried like a child, felt no discomfort at all. Instead, he was glad to be spared the trouble of walking. Having nothing else to do, he decided to use all his senses except vision to perceive everything in this darkness.
Soon, Bai Yi noticed that during the white-robed person’s navigation, their clothing occasionally emitted dim energy fluctuations. He could sense these were waves of light element being consumed. The white-robed person would adjust their steps according to these fluctuations, sometimes even taking long detours to avoid places where the light element was being rapidly consumed.
—In Bai Yi’s perception, these areas were places where slime monsters gathered in large numbers – essentially “heavy pollution” sources.
—So this is a special way to avoid slime monsters?
He asked out of curiosity.
Given the white-robed person’s attitude toward him, they would likely answer any question that didn’t involve particularly sensitive information.
Sure enough, the white-robed person explained the mystery without hesitation.
The enchanted Holy Light Robe they wore would react when approaching sources of pollution, automatically triggering purification magic. The stronger the pollution source, the more light element the purification magic needed to consume. So even though they had no direct means of monitoring slime monsters, they could judge where the monsters were concentrated just by the level of light element consumption. This allowed them to avoid areas with high monster concentrations while walking through this darkness, preventing unnecessary energy consumption. After all, in this eternal night, light element was rare and precious.
