Beast Taming Patrol-Chapter 654 - 230: Time Stasis (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2

"It's okay." After he had finished surveying with the measuring device, Lin Su smiled and rubbed Qiuqiu's head, "Level seven resources are already scarce, and level eight resources will naturally be even scarcer. In an Earth-rank secret realm, being able to produce two or three pieces a year is already quite difficult."

"The space in an Earth-rank secret realm is larger than that of a Profound-rank secret realm, yet the production of resources is even fewer. Searching for a few resources in such a vast area is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack." He sighed softly, having already prepared himself for the possibility of returning empty-handed.

"If it were resources of other attributes, the aura they emit would be very obvious, but the Time system is inherently mysterious. The Time Stones appear to be plain and ordinary at first glance. If there are level eight Time system resources here, they probably look like that too, with no apparent clues on the surface, which increases the difficulty of searching."

If he still had the Luck Power at this moment, then his chances of finding resources would have been much greater.

But the Luck Power dissipated the moment the secret realm opened.

So finding the resources would have to rely solely on his own luck.

It's easy to adjust from frugality to luxury, but difficult the other way around.

"Jie... (◯‿◯)" (Didn't find anything...)

Gui, who was also searching nearby for Time system resources, quickly returned to Lin Su's side and scratched his head in frustration.

"It's okay, this time we'll try a different direction." Lin Su smiled and wasn't surprised. He looked around and soon chose another direction, "Let's go there and have a look. We don't have much time left in our one-hour exploration window. We'll explore one more area and then leave."

If they still hadn't found any resources by then, they would have to wait until the next opportunity to enter for exploration.

There were countless people outside waiting for the results of their exploration, so they couldn't delay even a minute longer. They had to leave on time.

Otherwise, those outside would be unable to communicate with those inside the secret realm and might think that the entire exploration team had been wiped out, leading to unnecessary trouble.

"Jie! (￣‿￣)" (Okay!)

Gui rapidly led the group, turning into a black shadow and swiftly flying towards the direction Lin Su was pointing to.

Soon, they reemerged from the shadow, already in a completely new area.

Lin Su opened the measuring device as if he was well acquainted with the process, allowing it to automatically survey the nearby region. He then took a look around.

Suddenly, his expression faltered slightly.

By coincidence, not far ahead of them, a crystal-like object, roughly the length of a forearm, stood quietly and slightly tilted on the plain, as if it had grown out of the ground itself.

The colorless, transparent crystal looked like an ice crystal, sparkling under the sunlight, quite dazzling to behold.

"I'll be damned..." Lin Su's expression became vivid in an instant.

Just randomly picking a direction, and he ran straight into a level eight resource?

Those unaware would think he still had the Luck Power.

"Mi! (｡✪ω✪｡)" (It looks like a resource!)

Qiuqiu perked up, leaping off Lin Su's head and quickly flying towards the crystal.

Its eyes filled with a frosty intent, and with the help of Frost Eyes, Qiuqiu could already see that the crystal in front of them was extraordinary.

What's more, this crystal was different from the Time Stones they had encountered before.

It looked somewhat like ice, so Qiuqiu took a liking to it at first glance.

"Qiuqiu, wait a second!" Lin Su, seeing the white shadow about to approach, startled and quickly came to his senses, calling out to stop it.

The Time system resources had always been mysterious; the previous Time Stone could cause all who touched it to experience Time Acceleration, decaying at a rapid pace. The current Time system resource was probably not so simple either.

This thing couldn't be touched directly!

However, his warning came just a tad late.

Having searched for nearly an hour without success, one could only imagine Qiuqiu's excitement upon finding a resource.

So, in its eagerness, it forgot the special nature of Time system resources and rushed towards it at full speed.

At the moment Lin Su's voice sounded, one of Qiuqiu's paws had already touched the crystal.

The next moment, Qiuqiu's body abruptly paused in mid-air.

It remained in the position of touching the crystal, motionless.

Even the frost flowers swirling around it and the supernatural powers flowing within it stopped at the same moment.

Lin Su's pupils contracted suddenly, and his heartbeat skipped half a beat.

At this moment, through the Guardian Beast Contract, he could sense Qiuqiu's condition.

It wasn't injured or dead, but had become completely silent.

All of Lin Su's Telepathy couldn't receive the slightest response, as if swallowed by the sea.

This peculiar state, combined with the special nature of the Time system,

Lin Su seemed to realize something.

Was this Time Stasis?!

He quickly stepped forward nervously, looking at Qiuqiu suspended in mid-air without a flicker in its gaze, like a statue, and felt somewhat at a loss for a moment.

"Jie! (☉Д☉)" (Big brother, I'm coming to save you!)

Gui became somewhat anxious too, seeing Qiuqiu's eerie state. It teleported forward, grabbed Qiuqiu's tail, and attempted to separate it from the crystal.

Then, in the moment it grasped Qiuqiu's tail, Gui's actions also came to a halt.

The effect of Time Stasis seemed to impact it as well.

Lin Su: "..."

A two-for-one deal, eh?

He rubbed his head in resignation.

The state of his two companion beasts was still good, just unable to break free from the effect of Time Stasis, so there wasn't too much need to worry.
