The Mage of Eternity

Chapter 4

Before long, An Kai had already left the town.

There were also many people travelling with him.

At this moment, they were wary of each other, as if they had forgotten that they were neighbours in the same town yesterday.

An Kai did the same. He covered his face with a cloth, hugged the things in his arms tightly, and ran quickly to the north of the town with his head lowered.

At this moment, his balanced attribute showed its effect.

Compared to others, An Kai’s stamina lasted longer, and he had a greater advantage.

Some of them were faster than him, but they could not last as long as him. Some of them could last longer than him, but they were not as fast as him.

They headed north, from dark to dawn.

After resting five times, An Kai arrived at the Gobi Desert in one breath.

There was a secret base here.

And this place was four to five hundred miles away from the Unnamed Border Town.

In the desert, it was very difficult to find this place accurately.

Only people like An Kai, who had walked hundreds of times in a year, could accurately find this Gobi Desert.

The Gobi Desert was formed by a huge rock. For this desert, it was one of the few cool places.

An Kai walked into the huge pile of boulders, according to his memory, and continued walking for about ten minutes.

He saw a dark cave entrance in the middle of a huge rock.

It was about five meters away from the ground.

“I’m finally here!” An Kai’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.

He walked to the side and found a vine as thick as an arm from a pile of small rocks. At the end of the vine, there was an iron claw that flickered with a metallic lustre.

He coiled the vines into a few circles and placed them on his shoulder. He grabbed the iron claw and threw it at the hole in the boulder.

Bang ~

A soft sound was heard as the iron claw grabbed the hole.

An Kai tugged hard. After confirming that it was firm, he climbed up the vine like an ape.

It took An Kai more than ten seconds to cross five meters and enter the cave.

He put away the vines and placed them aside for use when leaving the cave.

The cave was about 20 square meters in size. Inside the cave was the dried meat that An Kai had stored for a year. At the end of the cave was a clear spring formed by water droplets dripping from the cracks in the rocks.

Not far from the pond, there were animal skins and furs that An Kai had ” borrowed ” from others and laid on the ground.

Apart from the lack of electricity and internet, this was an excellent hiding place.

It wouldn’t be a problem to stay for a year or two.

At that time, the civil war in the Buklin Duchy should be coming to an end.

An Kai came to the fur coat and took out the package that suddenly appeared in his arms.

He was running when a gust of wind blew over.

In the Town, the only person who could do such a thing was the old president of the Mage Association, the Tier 2 Mage Dong Lin!

The package wasn’t big, and the things inside were a little hard. An Kai’s chest hurt from the pressure.

“What did the old fellow give me?” An Kai muttered as he unwrapped the bag.

“Whoa!” As soon as the package was opened, a burst of light appeared!

An Kai’s expression was as happy as if he had won the lottery.

This was because inside the bag was exactly what he needed!

Low-grade sorcerer’s stones!

He counted back and forth three times.

In the end, he confirmed the number of Sorcerer’s stones. There were a total of 28!

This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money!

Without thinking, An Kai silently chanted, “Exchange!”

[Skill Points +28]

This was the first time An Kai had been so rich since he came to this world!

[Skill Points-7.]

[Meditation proficiency +7]

[Meditation Lvl 1-’10/10′]

7 skill points were consumed in an instant, and his meditation points were maxed out to level 1.

As An Kai did this, his body and system responded in kind.

If he forcefully chose to continue adding points to his meditation, his body would instantly explode.

An Kai had no choice but to stop.

According to his perception, he would be able to gain an attribute point in about seven days.

Compared to before, it had increased by nearly five times!

With 21 skill points left, An Kai thought about it and chose to upgrade Fireball.

In this desert, there was no guarantee that tomorrow would come.

Only by converting resources into strength could one truly be at ease.

Due to the limitations of his physical fitness, he could no longer improve his meditation.

He did not want to die in an accident one day only to have a large amount of resources left unused.

It was just like the plots in the novels he had read in his previous life. There would always be a resentful powerhouse who collected resources for a lifetime but was unwilling to use or spend them. In the end, he died with hatred, benefiting the destined protagonist who dug up his grave.

[Skill Points-9]

[Fireball proficiency +9]

[Fireball Lvl 1-’10/10′]

Opening his palm, a red and yellow fireball the size of an adult’s head appeared.

As soon as it appeared, it lit up the 20-square-meter cave.

An Kai walked to the entrance of the cave and threw a fireball at the ground!

The fireball turned into a straight line and smashed into the ground filled with gravel!

Bang!

Dust and gravel flew everywhere!

A pit with a diameter of about half a meter appeared. White steam was still emitting from the surroundings of the pit.

“If this strike landed on someone else’s body, it should be able to burn him to ashes.”

An Kai looked at the hole in the ground and muttered in his heart.

At that moment, countless strange birds soared into the sky in the desert, emitting ear-piercing cries. There were also faint roars of beasts coming from the desert.

Seeing this, An Kai returned to the cave and pulled out a dense tree from the side to block the entrance of the cave as a disguise.

At the same time, he sprinkled a ring of sulfur and broken sharp iron pieces around the hole.

“The old fellow is quite kind-hearted!” An Kai muttered and returned to the fur coat.

He chose a comfortable position and began to start his Level 1 meditation!

.

A year later.

In the shadows of the Gobi Desert, there was a fat white worm wriggling slightly. It was about two meters long.

Its body was as thick as an iron barrel, and its head only had a sharp mouthpart that had split into four pieces.

The mouthpart was covered with dense gear teeth.

The mouthpart kept moving, swallowing a dead bird.

[Level 4: Desert Thorn Worm]

Three meters behind the Thorn Worm, behind a huge rock.

A simple description of the monster appeared in front of An Kai.

Level 4 was equivalent to the fourth rank of the first-stage mage.

With a thought, a head-sized fireball appeared in An Kai’s hand.

Without hesitation, he threw the fireball at the thorn worm.

The fireball covered a distance of three meters in a blink of an eye!

When the danger approached, the Thorn Worm could only curl its body into a circle and resist in a sorry state.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion rang out, and the Thorn Worm was rejoicing over its survival from a sneak attack.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several fireballs descended in succession!

Boom!

After the explosion, he looked in the direction of the Thorn Worm.

There was no longer any wiggling worm, only white body fragments scattered all over the ground.
