I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Galactic Treasure! Hand of Oblivion!

Lin Yi’s plan was simple.

Since these rewards moved extremely fast, with trajectories that were unpredictable,

the solution was to find a way to stop them.

Three pieces of black ice appeared, causing the entire rotation of the Desert Vortex to start slowing down.

Lin Yi could already hear the sound of ice crystals forming and spreading.

With a flash, Lin Yi first grabbed the material needed for his fourth transformation task, the third leg of the Sand Pirate King Roger.

Then, he stored it into his personal space.

Next, using Sandwalker, Lin Yi darted amidst the increasingly slow vortex, placing the three materials needed by Ke Mengyuan and others into his backpack.

Finally, Lin Yi looked at the two beams of golden light below; since he had already grabbed them for free,

he decided to accept them with a smile!

Lin Yi swam toward the bottom of the vortex at the fastest speed possible. However, when the cold air from the three pieces of black ice spread out, Lin Yi discovered that not only the vortex’s rotation was slowing down,

but he was also affected.

And since he was in the vortex, many Wind Attribute acceleration skills were not suitable in this environment.

He was genuinely within the yellow sand, without air to utilize.

As Lin Yi was about four or five meters away from the two beams of golden light rewards, he realized the surrounding Desert Sea was nearing the critical point of complete freezing.

Using Sandwalker was almost impossible now.

The black ice, like a prison, surrounded him from all directions.

Was his action faster, or was the spread of black ice faster?

Lin Yi did not know.

He only knew that as he got closer, the information about the two beams of golden light finally appeared before him.

[Hand of Annihilation]

[Seed of the Primordial Fire]

Other attributes were completely invisible.

Indeed, even the Eye of Omniscience needed a longer gaze to continue deciphering the essence of these two beams of golden light.

This, in fact, indirectly indicated the preciousness of these two items.

Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed.

Seeing the closing black ice, he made a quick move, using Swift Wind Flash.

Beneath the Desert Sea, there was no air, so both the distance and speed of Swift Wind Flash were severely weakened.

The two beams of golden light were some distance apart from each other.

Lin Yi could only choose one of them.

He didn’t have time to think about which one to take; he could only choose the nearest one.

When his fingers touched the golden light cluster, Lin Yi hadn’t expected the impact of the golden light cluster to be so great, almost making him lose grip and letting it escape from his hand.

At the critical moment, a pair of hands appeared from the void.

Lin You’s hands clasped Lin Yi’s, holding the light cluster firmly!

This wasn’t Lin Yi taking the initiative to let Lin You out.

She came out on her own accord.

The moment Lin You appeared, her whole body was already wrapped with a large amount of black ice upon contact.

Lin Yi hurriedly transferred Lin You back to Undead Space, and Lin You was also aware of the danger of the black ice.

The parts of her body invaded by the black ice were voluntarily discarded, dissolving in the Desert Sea.

Afterward, Lin Yi also stored the golden light cluster in his right hand into his personal space.

Everything settled, now it was time to figure out how to escape!

However, the next moment, Lin Yi discovered that due to the collision by the golden light cluster earlier, his entire right hand was completely encased in black ice.

Now, trying to pull it out was too late.

Lin Yi felt his right hand was gradually losing sensation.

This meant his right hand was also slowly transforming into black ice.

The non-discriminatory nature of black ice was giving Lin Yi a headache.

Fortunately, the next moment, a ghostly blue flame erupted from Lin Yi’s body.

The advantage of elemental transformation manifested once more.

After fully transforming his right hand into an element, Lin Yi decided to abandon those parts that were already eroded by black ice.

Then, an electric light flashed.

Lightning Flash was executed by Lin Yi at the critical moment.

Lin Yi’s elemental form appeared above the Desert Sea.

He looked at Ke Mengyuan and the other three, who wore bewildered expressions.

Shouted, ”Run!”

”Exit the instance!”

With that, Lin Yi chose to exit the instance directly!

Ke Mengyuan and the others reacted quickly as well.

They had previously noticed that the entire Desert Vortex had stopped rotating and was rapidly cooling.

It wasn’t hard to guess that Lin Yi had probably used that terrifying ice technique again.

”Go!”

Ke Mengyuan shouted, choosing to leave the instance as well!

...

Kasanis, outer space.

A gigantic starship was slowly approaching.

In the command room at the head of the starship, beneath the huge porthole, many people in Interstellar Treasure Hunting Company uniforms were looking at Kasanis, bewildered.

”Are you sure we’ve arrived near Kasanis?”

”Report! Sir, according to the star map, we’ve indeed arrived near Kasanis...”

Outside the porthole at this moment,

appeared a planet already mostly covered in black ice, utterly lifeless and deathly still.

This was a tremendous contrast to the sandy planet they remembered, where, from space, it looked entirely yellow.

”Report this anomaly to Master Roger!”

”What on earth happened to Kasanis while we were away...”

In a luxurious room somewhere on the starship.

Luo Jie, with a head full of white hair, listened to his subordinates’ reports, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

More than ten minutes later.

The starship landed on Kasanis.

Luo Jie, with a cane in hand, came down from the starship.

He was instantly shocked by the sight before him.

In the biting cold wind, the entire Desert Gold Rush gate and numerous sandboats were completely frozen in black ice.

The once vibrant desert planet.

Had turned into such a lonely and deathly appearance that it even filled him with a cold dread.

Then he suddenly remembered something, his face changed, and he ordered, ”Quick! Go to the relic center!”

”Check the two treasures in the Desert Vortex!”

As the number one sand pirate.

Kasanis was the starting point of his career.

And as the hottest treasure hunting planet in the current Terence Star System, to maintain the excitement of the Kasanis Desert Gold Rush, Luo Jie naturally placed two of the most famed treasures across the star system in the prize pool.

As the final grand prizes, they attracted countless fortune seekers.

These two treasures couldn’t be picked; they could only be obtained through random rewards.

Officially, the chance of obtaining them was one in a million, but in fact, the probability was zero!

Whether selecting or salvaging, it was done by his company’s professional diver.

There were so many ways to manipulate it.

Treasures of this level, having explored so many treasure planets, he had only acquired five pieces.

How could he possibly just give them away?

Not long after, information came back.

”Master Roger...”

”No... It’s bad! The Desert Vortex is also completely frozen, and the workers planning to drill to investigate are all starting to emit that black ice, they’re not going to make it!”

”Using detectors to sense the treasure aura below the vortex, most of the purple and blue treasures still exist, but one of the two ultimate treasures, the Hand of Annihilation, is gone...!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Jie trembled violently with anger.

Looking at this world covered by black ice, he shouted angrily, ”The remnants of [Eternal]... still haven’t been eradicated!”

”Investigate! Do a thorough investigation! Who is responsible!”

”Report to the alliance! Issue a bounty! Capture them alive!”
