Chapter 2137  2137. Earth Plane Monsters

"I'm surprised the elemental spirits here are friendly. I thought that they might be a little more adverse to us appearing here. We aren't the same as what they might have seen." Su had a feeling that they would have been met with more resistance. After all, they were entirely different from those that might live here naturally. They were from a place that had been cut off from the elemental planes for a very long time. Anyone would have found it odd or generally unsettling to see random new beings. "Think of it this way though, to a spirit race being, we are giving off similar manas. You were able to speak with it since it came to you sensing a grand earth spirit. Not to mention your own higher affinity with earth mana." What Walker thought was pretty simple. Most of the elemental spirits would probably get along to some degree. So while there was a weirdness, there was also a fondness coming from the similar manas that the earth spirit senses. Especially since a grand elemental spirit was stronger.

Besides that, when it came to the elemental planes, Walker was beginning to sense that it wasn't just all out chaos. That there were rules of sorts. Laws. which went to reinforce the fact that these powerful kings or leaders within the plane would be very powerful. Looking out at the rocky earth plane ahead of them, Walker spotted some rocks that were moving along. He was surprised but was reminded that they were in a different place all together. That the monsters and races here might not make any sense to them. 'Slow rock snail. This monster uses condensed earth mana to help form a very tough shell. It looks like any other boulder which allows it to camouflage from predators. It is also very hard to bite through when it comes to those who attempt to eat them. Whoever, it's very soft body needs the shell. Without it, the dense earth mana that it uses to keep its shell tough will bleed out. Hence why they are considered a very good food item.they are very heavy due to the shell they wear though, avian monsters can not possibly pick them up without significant wind mana being used. They can grow larger and larger over time. If they are not killed when they are smaller, they have a chance to become a behemoth stone snail…'

Some of the information went right in to how this monster could grow. Walker was not at all surprised that just like an elemental spirit, that the monsters here could keep growing in to a more powerful form. Not just an infant to adult form of progression. From what it appeared, many of these were easily defeated by the monsters around. One had even fallen in to the earth as Walker watched from a distance. Something had set a false ground trap and the slight puff of dust were the last moments of the slow rock snail. It also made Walker focus wholeheartedly on the earth mana. He had a clever view of all the manas around him, even the tiniest amount of wind and water manas. The earth mana was the densest though. He could feel it and draw it in much more easily. Walker could also feel that the earth related skills would cost him next to zero mana at all just by walking through here. That was just one benefit that Walker had noticed. Yees, it might be because of his high mana senses and understanding of earth mana. Or it might just be because the earth mana all around was denser. However, Walker felt it was the fact that his race is origin race and that greatly influenced his ability to use manas overall. The thing that was a benefit of this, was simply the fact that he felt he was learning more about the race he had become. He also sensed that the more he pursued these feelings, the greater knowledge he would discover. The more he could learn. "That's not a plant, is it?" Remey looked like she was doing her best to hold herself back. What could have been seen as the weirdest plant ever, left Remey wondering if this was just an interesting ,monster, a plant, or an herb that she should be trying to get information about. 'Thorny rock braid

This is a unique plant which grows only in the earth elemental plane outskirts. It grows long vines which braid themselves together due to the thorns that they are covered in. The dense earth mana that makes this plant grow is considered weak compared to other plants. The densest earth mana will gather in the small bead like fruits which grow just below each large thorn. They can be gathered and used to help something or someone absorb earth mana more smoothly. It is strongly recommend for the young with earth affinity born in areas with lower earth mana. To create a more potent potion of earth mana speed absorption…'

When Rem,ey heard Walker say this out loud, she wondered how he had known about the potion formula being experimented with. "The guild is challenging our knowledge of new herbs and attempting to make that potion. The world and the system really know everything. I wonder how much it recorded. Or did someone succeed and we just didn't know?' Remey wanted to know if it was possible that she was still working on something already completed. "No, look, it says the ingredients to make the potion formula, but lacks the information on how to make it. That means you are on the right track." Walker noticed that the rest of the appraisal was still partial. As in this was a very new potion. Even to the elemental planes and the world, it would be new. "I was sure that Remey would go to war with the system of existence if it had given away the secrets to the potion to everyone else." Gil's laughter made Remey glare at him, but she was very glad that she still had the chance to discover an entirely new potion. "The potion will be very good. Drink the affinity potion then drink a matching mana absorption speed potion, and many people would grow much faster. Or you could use more powerful magic skills above your level of strength with the high amounts of mana you are absorbing."

"It would be temporary, but it could also make potions, food, forge, well really anything better. Basically, it might be a method to refine to make something about your level overall. Break the bonds of the strongest weapon or the highest ranked potion." Remey's theories could keep going with where these potions would be valuable. "I like the idea. To increase the rate of success. If healers used them they could more likely save someone on the edge of life and death." "Exactly! Su understands it all." Remey was very glad to hear Su expressing this. Meanwhile, Walker and Midnight were picking the small brown bead like fruits. He was fine with taking the time to pick many of them since this plant surely could not grow back home. If it could, then the environment would need a lot of mana to create. A lot of cost to build. "So the pants here might grow with only earth mana. That means that they are pretty much going to be very hard and nearly impossible to eat." Gil's point of view was different. Even when it came to gathering food here, it would be troublesome to handle this. Beyond that, it was a good idea to worry about the survival side of it. If they had to, these foods would be a bad idea. It would be hard to eat especially if they were not earth affinity. "I have plenty of food in my high spatial storage. For now." Walker's reassurance helped. What didn't help, was the sounds of something fighting up ahead. Walker looked up to spot what could only be a golem. Yet, when he looked closely, he found that it was not a golem but a meld of stone boulders and skeletons. 'Earth brute

A monster made of undead skeletons and high earth mana density boulders. It was an experiment made by the immortal king to test whether ancient skeletons can absorb earth mana without losing control. This is a failed experiment due to the dense earth mana breaking the bond with the immortal king and sending the partial undead monster in to a wild fit or rage. The only thing holding it together is the earth mana and the remaining undead manas of the skeletons. It can be broken with great force and the bleeding mana pulled away from it to destroy it. The force it wields is greater due to the denser earth mana…'
