I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 250 - 177: Black Fog Rule (Double-Length)

Rogel looked a bit strange as well.

So he tried to switch back to the game perspective.

No… it's even stranger…

Rogel switched it back to the true perspective.

"This strange rule doesn't seem to pose any immediate danger. Let's continue exploring."

Even though it felt quite unsettling, they had no way to counter the effects of this rule, so they had to let it be.

As a result, a group of people who essentially had no issues but looked strange in everyone's perspective had to maintain this state and move forward.

The Starry Dragon City was vast.

Looking up, there was an endless shimmering starry sky, seemingly the great power from this starry expanse.

Before long, Rogel and the others arrived at a spacious area.

In this region, countless radiant and colorful sands floated in the air like supple ribbons.

[Meteor Floating Sand]

[Type: Material]

[Effect: Has a strong insulating ability against seawater, and when in sufficient quantity, can form a barrier against extraordinary powers.]

[Explanation: Ancient artisans once discovered this beautiful sand on fallen stars, it seems to absorb the power of the stars.]

Found it!

Rogel's eyes brightened slightly.

But just as he was about to step forward and store the sand in the item inventory, a sudden change occurred.

[You have disturbed a slumbering monster!]

"Roar!"

The Meteor Floating Sand rapidly gathered, forming a five-meter-tall Sand Giant.

Rogel instinctively tried to check its information, but was shocked to find he couldn't do so at all.

He then immediately realized this was due to the black fog rule, and in reality, he hadn't "seen" the true location of the Sand Giant.

In his perspective, there was a neat equilateral triangle gap on the Sand Giant's head.

But that's not the point; the point is he couldn't determine the true location of the Sand Giant now!

Swish swish swish!

Noemi, who was in the air, quickly shot out Hurricane Arrows.

However, they accurately hit the black stone pillar behind it…

"Huh?"

"Oh no, it's not there…"

Noemi's heart was helpless.

This black fog rule affected her the most.

If it were ordinary vision interference, Noemi wouldn't be so troubled, as she could accurately sense the enemy's position just by using her hearing.

But this bizarre black fog rule not only disrupted vision, it even disturbed sensation and hearing.

Because of this, Noemi couldn't pinpoint the enemy's exact location at all.

Mira was also affected in the same way.

Yas and Lina, although unaffected, had their attacks ineffectively hit the Sand Giant with minimal impact.

After being attacked, the Meteor Floating Sand on its body fell off, then gathered again from its feet.

"Boom!"

The Sand Giant clasped its hands together, roaring before smashing forward.

It seemed there was no one in front of it.

But then Rogel felt a great force from above, instantly pressing him underneath the sand.

[You've been attacked by the monster, Life Value -56.]

"Roar!"

The Sand Giant roared again, smashing down, seemingly not disturbed about Rogel's position.

Under these circumstances, Rogel knew immediately where he needed to attack.

The barrier of the Ancient Demon Pattern Cloak was activated, white dragon scales grew on Rogel's throat, and he spewed a scorching dragon breath upwards.

Boom——

The flames surged, the Sand Giant wailed in pain, retreating repeatedly.

At this time, Rogel also saw the information about this creature.

[Floating Sand Giant]

[Type: Monster]

[Quality: Boss]

[Level: 35]

[Tier: Apostle]

[Explanation: An extraordinary creature born from Meteor Floating Sand, possessing only partial attack instincts. Its body has the characteristics of Meteor Floating Sand, able to block most extraordinary forces' damage.]

[Mysticism·Secret Peeping provides you with a crucial piece of information.]

[The Floating Sand Giant fears fire-based attacks. If you need Meteorite Glass, use fire to attack it!]

[Of course, you can also destroy its extraordinary core.]

At this point, Rogel's face darkened.

Meteorite Glass?

I want the sand! Why turn it into glass!

"Roar! Roar!"

After being burned by Rogel's dragon breath, the Floating Sand Giant painfully clawed at its burnt area, dropping a large pile of glass with a clatter.

Rogel pushed himself out of the sand with both hands, looked at the Floating Sand Giant, and slowly pulled out the Giant Corpse Hammer he hadn't used in a while.

Thud.

The Giant Corpse Hammer landed on the ground with a dull thud.

A blunt weapon should also be effective against this kind of Sand Giant.

Moreover, although he couldn't see the true position of the Floating Sand Giant, it could see him. He just had to react accordingly to its attacks.

...

With a bang, finally under the cover of Yas, Lina, and the others, Rogel shattered the extraordinary core of the Floating Sand Giant.

The Floating Sand Giant couldn't even let out a wail before it turned into a pile of sand and fell to the ground.

Ignoring the experience cap notification message, Rogel began collecting the spoils.

[You have found Meteorite Sand Block ×1.]

[You have found Meteor Floating Sand ×121.]

The Meteorite Sand Block was nothing special; compared to the Meteor Floating Sand, it just had the added use of being able to craft equipment.

To think, defeating an Apostle-level monster yielded just this bit of junk.

Rogel was quite frustrated.

It seems that in order to find great treasures, one must go to the Cave dungeon.

He then began collecting the Meteor Floating Sand.

Lina and the others wanted to help, but Rogel declined.

They didn't have an item inventory, so they couldn't carry much anyway.

"These sands are so beautiful!"

Noemi crouched down, picked up a handful of Meteor Floating Sand, and let it slip through her fingers.

"You're still playing with sand at your age."

Rogel took the sand from her hands and put it into the item inventory.

Noemi's face fell instantly: "Captain, you're so annoying!"

Rogel chuckled and continued digging sand.

However, after digging for a while, he suddenly felt something hard.

He thought he had reached the bottom and found the Starry Black Stone.

But unexpectedly, it was actually a pile of bones!

"This is..."

Rogel focused on the bones in his hand, but no information surfaced.

They just looked like ordinary bones.

Noemi, next to him, also made a discovery.

She directly pulled out a two-meter-long bone from the ground, as thick as a human waist.

"Wow! What a big bone!"

Noemi hugged the big bone with both hands, feeling a sense of instinctual satisfaction.

"..."

You're actually a dog-girl, aren't you?

Rogel shrugged and continued packing sand. When it got full, he even went to load the Meteor Floating Sand onto the Gelin.

After reaching the maximum carrying capacity, Rogel finally stopped collecting Meteor Floating Sand.

"Rogel!" Just as he finished, Lina waved to him: "Come and look at this."

When he got to her side, Rogel saw another broken stele, with writings still in dragon script.

[...Starry Sky Limitation... High Tier Unable to Breakthrough...]

[The invasion of Starry Sky Monsters caused a catastrophic disaster to Muzhe...]

After reading, Rogel basically understood the recorded information on the stele.

There seemed to be some kind of limitation between this continent and the starry sky, preventing high-tier creatures from passing through this layer of limitation.

Because of this limitation, there were no high-tier dragons in Starry Dragon City Muzhe.

Thus, upon entering the starry sky, Muzhe suffered a devastating blow from the starry sky monsters. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Perhaps that's why Muzhe appeared desolate and dilapidated.

"But, why did Muzhe venture into the starry sky? And why did it fall back onto the continent?"

Rogel pondered deeply.

Looking further down wasn't difficult to see, the stele was mostly destroyed, though there seemed to have been a wealth of information; it's all lost now.

"There's a tower over there."

Yas pointed out a direction to everyone.

Following his direction, Rogel and the others looked over, but were surprised to see nothing.

"Yas, don't point recklessly, it's clearly over there."

Mira pointed in another direction.

Rogel got a headache.

Damn, this must be where the [Black Fog Rule] gets tricky.
