Corridor, lady in black stockings, enormous red claws, flames...

Through Lu Luo's perspective, Herag saw various scene fragments from a few days ago.

This is a unique spell method of the Elf Race, allowing communication with nature.

The scenes are fragmented and cannot form a continuous process.

Herag didn't miss a single fragment, carefully observing each fleeting scene.

He gathered a lot of information from these fragments and roughly deduced the situation back then.

Although he didn't find David's figure in the images, he knew the general direction of the crowd's escape.

From these scenes, it seemed that the majority of people were running south.

Because to the north was the area where that red demon was, people were forced to move away, so they headed south, with some shadows running to the sides.

However, the number of people running to the sides was much smaller, with the vast majority heading south.

To the south, there were no cities, only a vast area bordering the endless pollution zone.

After organizing the picture fragments, Herag analyzed them and decided to head south.

Since there was no sign of David's body at the scene, the probability of David escaping south with the crowd was relatively high.

"Titan Power."

Once Herag decided on the direction, he immediately shifted into Titan Power form, ensuring sufficient combat strength to handle any unexpected situation.

Since advancing to the Crystalization Wizard phase, due to increased spiritual power and the existence of spiritual crystals, the intensity of various spells has slightly improved.

The amplification of Titan Power naturally increased accordingly, as its essence still remains a spell.

Standing over four meters tall, Herag looked ahead, launched himself like an arrow, and sprinted away.

He took out the Feather of Flight from the Space Ring and pressed it against the back of his hand, ready to activate it at any moment.

Herag extended Shenlan's environmental detection and proceeded at extreme speed toward the south through the pollution zone.

Having covered roughly two kilometers, Herag saw a corpse.

It was a female wizard with a voluptuous body, indicating she must have been a beauty when alive.

However, she had since become a corpse, with a clearly large wound on her neck.

Such a wound was obviously not caused by cold weapons but rather by a spell similar to a wind blade, as the marks on the cut differed entirely from those made by cold weapons.

This person was killed by another wizard.

Herag speculated there must have been a grudge; otherwise, normally, people wouldn't think of killing others while fleeing for their lives.

There must have been an existing vendetta, initiating the attack in this opportune location.

The skin on many parts of the corpse's surface had turned black, resembling the blackness on the surface of a crafter.

Herag knew that if the corpse were left unchecked, a new Crawler would soon emerge.

With magic power converging in his hand, he cast a Fireball Technique over the body, entirely burning it away.

The lady probably wouldn't want to become an ugly Crawler after death, and this was all Herag could do.

Purifying the environment is everyone's responsibility.

After handling the soon-to-transform corpse, Herag quickened his pace and continued exploring.

He felt that David's situation might not be good.

The pollution zone was already hazardous, and now he had to be wary of threats from others.

With so many people fleeing in that direction, and all being wizards, none would be easy to deal with.

When food, water, and other resources become scarce, disputes are bound to occur.

Herag knew very well that in the pollution zone, it's almost impossible to find sources of food and water, relying primarily on pre-stored resources.

Because Herag had always been cautious, he had ample supplies stored in his Space Ring, allowing him to persist in the pollution zone for a while.

However, it may not be the same for those on the airship, as few, if any, prepare such supplies in their Space Rings.

Space Rings are expensive; the larger the space, the costlier it is, and most people use theirs with restraint.

...

It's the ninth day after the airship accident, and David is hiding in a pile of rubble, chewing on a piece of smoked meat from his Space Ring, and sipping some water to lubricate his throat.

There's still a lot of food, enough to last for months.

The only concern is the water supply, which is only enough for a month.

David didn't dare to drink excessively, only taking sips when extremely thirsty.

He's unsure when he'll be able to get out, or if he'll be able to get out at all.

So water needs to be used sparingly to last longer.

David learned to stockpile such food and water from Herag.

He didn't previously understand why Herag always carried so many supplies, but now he realized it was being prepared for unforeseen events.

Though David didn't understand this principle before, he thought Herag was impressive, with talent and intelligence, and knew it was never wrong to learn from smart people.

So when David went into business, he followed suit, storing plenty of supplies in his Space Ring.

Unexpectedly, it really became useful one day, even becoming a critical survival moment.

As David watched the sky darken completely, he realized he was entering another pitch-black night.

He figured that this time, he was likely not going back.

Having run far away in panic, he had lost any sense of direction when he finally stopped.

In this place, even the sense of direction is disrupted, making it difficult to pinpoint accurately.

David took out a Talisman Stone, and upon activation, found magic net usage still unavailable.

His only regret was not transferring the magic stones and gold coins he'd earned over the years to Herag and Reese promptly.

If he just dies like this, wouldn't that money go to waste?

Leaving it to Herag could enable him to acquire more resources and become stronger, thus benefitting the Cheqi Family.

Leaving it to Reese could let her buy more of what she wanted. With Herag around, she's probably not lacking in funds.

Either way, it would be better than letting it go to waste.

David speculated if Serlandir's bank could directly declare him dead and transfer the money out instead.

He sighed; though he still feared death somewhat, he wasn't so afraid anymore.

When David initially decided to go into business, he had already anticipated this day might come.

But after working for a few years, it seemed he hadn't achieved much or created much value.

David started feeling a bit drowsy and weary, but he knew he couldn't sleep.

The pollution zone was very dangerous, especially at night.

He had narrowly escaped death several times recently and even once used the Fire Salamander Bomb to explode at close range between himself and a demon to save his life.

Although David got injured and broke some bones, the demon died, and he survived.
