He needed to get as close to the fissure as possible and find a relatively safe position to collect the special, free-floating energy that originated from it.
Xu Wuyi's gaze swept the area, quickly settling on a huge, black lava rock protruding from the ground ahead and to his left, about twenty meters from the fissure's glowing membrane.
It was in a good position, and the rock formation looked relatively stable.
He carefully maneuvered around several clearly unstable energy vortexes on the ground, making his way to the side of the lava rock.
The sense of chaotic energy was stronger here. His skin felt a faint stinging, the natural corrosive effect of high concentrations of free-floating energy on living tissue.
The protective layer of his combat suit shimmered with a faint light as it constantly worked to resist the corrosion.
Xu Wuyi held his breath, steadily extending the tips of three collection tubes and initiating the collection program.
