Chapter 196: CH 196
What were they protecting? Dave’s curiosity was piqued as he observed the scene before him. The beasts seemed to be defending something, but what it was, he couldn’t quite see.
His gaze narrowed, focusing on the center of the circle, as he tried to catch a glimpse of the mysterious thing. But he was finding it hard to see what it was.
As he continued to observe the beasts, his gaze drifted downward, and then, he noticed a large crater beneath their feet. The earthy scent of disturbed soil wafted up, mingling with the acrid smell of smoke and char. The crater’s edges were rough and jagged, and the beasts seemed to be standing guard around its perimeter.
A memory flashed in Dave’s mind, he remembered the meteor that had hit him, which in turn had created a massive crater at the place where he had awoken.
He also recalled Chris mentioning something about craters and mother crystals back then. According to Chris, mother crystals often formed in the midst of these craters, imbuing the surrounding environment with powerful energy.
Dave’s eyes narrowed as he pieced together the information. The beasts’ behavior made sense now, they were protecting something valuable, something that could potentially give anyone an upper hand in this mad world. The mother crystal!
As Dave watched the beasts, he became more convinced that his theory was correct. The way they stood guard, their fiery manes a fierce halo, suggested that they were defending something precious.
The crater beneath their feet seemed to be the key to it all. Dave’s mind whirled with possibilities, his eyes fixed intently on the crater as he contemplated his next move. The beasts, sensing no immediate threat, continued to stand vigilant, their eyes fixed on the surrounding environment, waiting for any sign of danger.
The thrill of the unknown drove Dave forward, his determination to claim the mother crystal unwavering. Despite the uncertainty surrounding its powers, he was willing to take the risk. The promise of items from the crystal was too enticing to ignore, and he had set his sights on obtaining it at all costs.
As the beasts that were chasing after Dave closed in, their thunderous roar grew louder. They were almost upon him, but Dave’s focus remained fixed on the mother crystal, his plan was to claim it as swiftly and decisively as he can.
