Chapter 745: "Combing The Island"
Chapter 745: “Combing The Island”
The previous family didn’t build a base like Ainsley, but they did have various treasure-hunting tools or temporary residences scattered all around the island.
Ainsley generously took over these places and started to comb the entire island while doing a treasure hunt.
On the first day of the treasure hunt, Ainsley didn’t use any of her luck-manipulation ability, fearing the great side-effect.
Because of this, they found no other treasures aside from more gemstones, strange ores, and a few dead trees.
The dead trees had a darkness-attributed wood, really unique, and it could generate wood in a short time.
The team collected these woods to fill the Sloan Family’s treasury.
However, even after searching for a whole day, until the sun slowly hid behind the ocean, they found no other meaningful treasures other than the gemstones.
The gemstones were also very small, just the size of a shirt button or even less.
The group looked at each other and sighed.
“Boss, I think it is true that it is so hard to find treasures here. Even the gemstones are hard to find, and all of them are small in size…”
One of the elite members sulked at Ainsley, finally cursing the previous family once more. No wonder the previous family gave up on the island, ah!
The gemstones were hard to find and even if they found one, the biggest size was only as big as a baby’s pinky.
It was a treasure but not too effective or useful for the customers.
Especially when the customers were usually the government who wanted to reduce the miasma concentration at the capital.
Ainsley also looked at the orange sky above the horizon and finally gave up.
“Let’s go back to the base first. Don’t forget to draw the map of the area we have combed. Tomorrow, we will go further to see if there are any other abyss entrances or treasures.”
At Ainsley’s words, the group immediately returned to the base and was greeted by the other 450 members.
While the 50 treasure hunter team was busy finding treasure and exploring the island, these 450 members were busy building a large base based on Ainsley’s blueprint.
Using their special abilities, they had managed to build several watchtowers and simple emergency medical buildings and storehouses for weapons and other daily necessities.
Ainsley’s treasure hunter group didn’t place their treasures at the storehouses and instead left all the gems to Axelle.
After all, Axelle had the blood of the demonic race in his vein, and he was more knowledgeable about these treasures.
He even said that he wanted to experiment with the treasures to find out more about the island’s situation.
Since Axelle was regarded as their mighty alchemist and researcher, who would stop him?
Ainsley gave her full support.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. I know you want to know more about your demonic bloodline but don’t be too hasty, okay?”
Ainsley patted Axelle’s back as they went to the tents around the base’s area. The tents would be their temporary living residence and were still located inside the white area.
Hearing Ainsley’s words, Axelle’s eyes reddened as he nodded like a chicken pecking its food.
“Y-yes, master, I understand. A-also…while we are on this island, I will wear the restricting collar…i-if I suddenly go berserk or something, please restrain me.”
Ainsley didn’t know how but Axelle already reproduced the slave choker that Ainsley destroyed when she freed Axelle from his status as a slave.
The baby looked at Axelle’s stretched hands with eyes full of complex emotions. Axelle already wore the choker and was now holding the remote, giving it to Ainsley.
His life and death would now belong to Ainsley once more.
Ainsley bit her lips and reluctantly accepted the remote. After all, Axelle couldn’t swear a soul oath due to his race. Axelle could betray Ainsley or harm her if he went berserk.
A pity…
“I’ll take this with me…but only because you want me to have it. Remember, no matter what happens, I won’t abandon you.”
Ainsley tip-toed and hugged Axelle, almost making Blaze, who was sleeping on Axelle’s head, burn with jealousy.
That’s my dad! Kwaaak!!
Blaze flapped her wings as she pecked Axelle’s hair, but Axelle only returned Ainsley’s hug with trembling hands. Tears already threatened to slide down his cheeks.
“T-thank you, master. I-I also hope that I won’t make trouble for you…”
Axelle didn’t know if being this close to the Abyss would influence him, but he wished he wouldn’t trouble Ainsley, much less harm her.
So, if he suddenly awakened his demonic bloodline and became manic…Ainsley should just kill him on the spot.
Ainsley knew Axelle’s thoughts but chose to ignore them and pretended to not know anything.
She continued to hug Axelle, giving him her emotional support before she let go and went back to her own tent.
That day, the treasure hunter team couldn’t sleep well because they knew the truth of the island.
The other members didn’t know yet and only knew that Ainsley had set up a forbidden area which none of them can come close to.
The next day, Ainsley decided to announce the truth to the members despite the risk, and indeed, the members were all frightened to death.
“This island has the Abyss Entrance?!”
“This island is one of the Abyss’ entrances, does that mean there will be many demons’ carcasses too??”
Knowing that this island had such a close connection with the Abyss and the demons, the members were frightened for a few minutes.
All of them looked at Ainsley with pale faces, but they knew that since Ainsley announced this matter to them, it meant she wouldn’t want to leave the island.
Indeed, she didn’t let them leave.
