Yaen began, "Lu Ning deserves the most credit this time. Both the textual interpretation and the information brought by the illusions are of great value. Moreover, in the battle in the labyrinth and plaza inside the inverted pyramid, without Lu Ning, it's hard to say what would have happened to me, Osiris, and Aishalin, but the others would probably have been in mortal danger. I think everyone agrees on that, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Jerry and the others could clearly see that if Lu Ning hadn't been there, the ninth-tier team members would have faced considerable risks inside the pyramid.
"Then Osiris, Aisharin, and I all contributed equally, each of us dealing with a Saint."
Osiris and Aisharin had no objections.
Strictly speaking, Yann deserves more credit, because the pilgrims are much stronger than the saints of the other two fallen guilds.
That pilgrim alone could fight against Osiris and Aisharin.
"Considering An Lan's role, his contribution is equivalent to that of the three of us Saints, followed by Jerry and the rest of you. Does anyone have any objections to this?"
"We have no objection."
Everyone shook their heads.
"Alright, let's distribute them then." Seeing that no one had any objections, Yann began to distribute them according to their contributions.
"We basically don't need these soul artifacts. Except for Lu Ning's Soul Calling Bell, we have handed over all the other soul artifacts to the General Administration to exchange for credits."
"Then Lu Ning can take another high-risk soul weapon or a special-risk one-time dangerous item. The three of us and An Lan will also take a high-risk soul weapon or a one-time special-risk dangerous item. Each of you can take about five high-risk one-time dangerous items, or you can save your merits first and exchange them for other things later."
"As for the Soul Crystals, we've already divided them equally. There are a total of over 20 million, with each person receiving 2 million Soul Crystals, and the remainder being given to An Lan for research. These Soul Crystals are of very high purity, and with these Soul Crystals, everyone should be able to improve much faster."
No one had any objections to Yann's allocation.
Lu Ning obtained the Bell of Resurrection, a high-risk soul weapon or a one-time special-risk dangerous item, and two million high-purity soul crystals.
Compared to the other saints and An Lan, they all possess one more high-risk soul weapon.
After confirming the distribution method, the Soul Crystals were immediately divided among the group, while the Soul Weapons were given to Osiris. After leaving the mist, Osiris would exchange them at headquarters and then hand them over to the others.
The distribution took some time, and everyone had rested enough.
Lu Ning then took out the Death Stone Tablet from his spatial bracelet and continued to absorb the power of death.
This stuff is even more effective than Soul Crystals.
Unfortunately, the power of death was not much, and the stone tablet was empty after absorbing it for a few hours.
Lu Ning gave the death stone tablet to An Lan for research.
After a period of instrument checks, Anlan found no abnormalities.
So the group went to bring the funeral directors who had fallen into the ritual point and left the fog.
The Bone Sand Desert remains dangerous, but without the blessing of death's power, the concentration of mental pollution has become relatively stable.
Furthermore, Lu Ning and his group killed all the monsters they encountered, ensuring that even if these monsters rushed out of the desert, they would not be able to form an effective monster horde.
This should prevent the base city near the fog from threatening the city in the short term.
It took them nearly ten days to leave the mist, and the moment they stepped out, everyone felt a sense of relief.
They stayed in the fog for nearly a month.
Even though everyone was a high-level or even saint-level awakened being, the mental pressure of surviving in such a highly polluted environment for so long was still immense.
Yann said, "Let's rest at Base City 116 first, then we'll go to Base City 1 to report the information from our exploration of Mist 233, finish the credit and exchange, and then we'll head to Mist 101."
Everyone nodded, with no objections.
They got a few off-road vehicles from the border fortress and drove back to Base City 116.
Instead of alerting the Fog Bureau in the base city, Yann and his group found a hotel to stay in.
They planned to stay for two days to rest and adjust before leaving Base City 116 and heading to Base City 1.
After thinking about it, Lu Ning went back to the branch office.
The entire Base City 116 seemed not much different from before Lu Ning left.
However, on his way to the branch, Lu Ning could still see that some areas had been damaged.
In Lu Ning's sight, there were still lingering white mists that had not completely dissipated.
Clearly, a pathological event has occurred here.
Lu Ning encountered two such situations along the way, indicating that the number of pathological events was increasing.
Fortunately, the damage seems to have had a limited reach, and the impact has been well controlled.
Clearly, things are going well after the General Administration sent strong personnel to oversee the area.
When Lu Ning returned to the branch, Yu Ran was playing games at the front desk with her head down.
Lu Ning couldn't help but recall how diligent Yu Ran had been during the time when the dream plague had affected her.
This scene is somewhat reminiscent of the first time I followed Lin Xiao into the branch.
With a sudden thought, Lu Ning imitated Lin Xiao's actions and walked to the front desk, tapping the surface with his knuckles.
Yu Ran shuddered, and her phone almost fell to the ground.
She looked up nervously and said, "Sister Mu Mu, I wasn't playing!"
Upon seeing Lu Ning, Yu Ran's expression froze.
Her eyes widened, then her expression lit up with surprise. She jumped up with a squeal and hugged Lu Ning, exclaiming, "Lu Ning! Why are you back?"
Lu Ning smiled slightly: "I just came out of the 233rd fog. I'll stay here for a day or two before heading to Base City 1."
