Chapter Sixty: Perception

"We will escort you there."

Looking at the Mosasaurus in front of him, which could go berserk at any moment, Luo Jin tapped his finger on the quantum computer, which displayed the defense map of the capital. In less than ten minutes, the capital had activated its emergency plan. The guards had surrounded the capital inside and out like an iron barrel, and the weapons to deal with the Mosasaurus were ready.

If the Fire Seedlings weren't still within the Mosasaurus's attack range, and they weren't afraid of accidentally injuring them, they would have already launched their attack.

When Lokin was fighting the Mosasaurus, someone shot her in the back, which is why she was injured by the Mosasaurus.

Seeing the Mosasaurus's emotional state in front of Anno, she temporarily calmed the military personnel down. This Mosasaurus was probably controlled by the rebels. If the Mosasaurus could calm down and communicate, there would be no need for violent means.

The rebels were more obsessed with Nono than the other Fire Seed cubs. They launched another attack just two days later. They were incredibly audacious to dare to attack Fire Seed cubs so openly in the capital of Canghai Star. She needed to find out what they used to control the Canglong so she could deal with their subsequent attacks.

She turned her gaze to Huo Yin. This child was a fire dragon variant. Judging from his beastification level and mental state, his bloodline was currently the closest to pure dragon blood. Therefore, he could communicate with the mosasaur, and the mosasaur clearly regarded him as one of its own.

But she was still not at ease letting him take Nuonuo and the Canglong away. However, the Canglong was very vigilant. Seeing that she was holding Anuo, it immediately gave her a low growl as a warning, and slammed its claws down in front of them, placing them in front of Anuo as a shield.

Then it lay down and gently nudged Anuo with its head, gesturing for her to climb onto its back.

Lokin wanted to carry Anno up, but the Mosasaurus pulled its claws back from the ground, bared its fangs at her, and growled, telling her with its eyes that only Anno could come up.

Huo Yin stepped forward and took Anuo's hand. "Don't worry, I will protect the cub. If you are worried, you can follow it from a distance. The Mosasaurus is currently emotionally unstable. If you don't want the cub to use more energy to stabilize its emotions, then don't provoke it further."

Hearing him say that, Luo Jin loosened her grip on Anuo. She wasn't usually such a hesitant and indecisive person, but the one going with Canglong was her child, who was only three years old.

How could she put such a vulnerable child in danger?

Tang Ting walked to Luo Jin's side, gently nuzzled her with her head, and looked at her with a comforting gaze.

"Mom, don't worry, it won't."

Anno placed her hand on Lokin's cheek, her voice slow but clear, "I can feel it."

A faint energy flowed from Anno's hand into Lokin's body. She wanted Lokin to experience the energy and emotions of the Mosasaurus, and that's what she did.

Logan sensed the painful energy and emotions contained within the Mosasaurus and looked at Anno in astonishment, "Baby, how do you have this ability?"

This ability to perceive the consciousness and emotions of living beings through energy is something that a spark can only gradually learn as it grows into adulthood through continuous perception and learning. Moreover, this ability is extremely difficult to learn, and there are not many sparks who can master it.

But Anno was able to use it so easily, which really surprised her.

After sensing the Mosasaurus's attitude towards Anno, Lokin released her, letting Huo Yin pick her up and fly onto the Mosasaurus's back with a flap of his wings.

The mosasaur energy that Anno transferred to her contained a portion of the mosasaur's consciousness, which was what it wanted to tell Anno, or perhaps to tell them.

The thing controlling it is beneath White Sand Lake, and it requires the energy of a spark to be dealt with.

Anno is still a young spark, with only a little energy left. Her previous energy hasn't fully recovered, and her body hasn't reached a healthy normal level. They can't let her consume any more energy.

She also knew that, besides the thing controlling the mosasaur, the rebels must also be lying in ambush beneath White Sand Lake.

The checks in the capital are very strict. Every person entering and leaving has their genetic code checked, not just a simple electronic check, but a blood test.

An identity can be faked, but a body cannot.

Those villainous troops who want to infiltrate the capital will definitely choose a more secure method; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to launch such a large-scale attack.

Due to the heat and global desertification on Canghai Star, most creatures live underground, where another world has long been formed, which is much more lively than the surface.

Those rebels evaded the search and entered the capital by going underground.

The dragon carried Anno and Huo Yin towards White Sand Lake, while Luo Jin sat on Tang Ting's back and followed behind them. At the same time, he ordered his men to enter White Sand Lake early to make preparations for defense.

When the Mosasaurus stopped above the center of White Sand Lake, Luo Jin had already ordered people to prepare diving equipment there. Just as they were about to approach Anno and the others, the Mosasaurus roared at the surface of the water. The people around thought it was angry and dared not come forward.

Anno knew that the mosasaur was not angry, but was calling out to something underwater.

Her energy and its connection allow her to understand what it wants to say and do through its consciousness.

It was a very strange feeling, just like now, Huo Yin was sitting behind her, and his energy was being released intentionally or unintentionally to cover her.

She could also sense his consciousness; his consciousness was entirely focused on her.

It was as if he was intently looking at something, all his attention was on it, and nothing and no one could disturb him.

The band of light behind her ear drifted backward, occasionally brushing against his cheek. Her band of light was always sensitive, and she never let anyone touch it. Even with Lokin, she would only touch it briefly before letting go.

But when she touched the child behind her, she felt no resistance, and she didn't feel awkward or unfamiliar with their interaction.

It was strange, yet natural, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Is it just because he is still an eight-year-old child?

Anno doesn't think so. In the past, whether she was a child or an adult, she didn't like physical contact with people.

She had been hurt too many times in the past, making her sensitive and wary.

It was only now, with the meticulous care and unreserved love that Lokin and the others had shown her, that she gradually let down her guard.

She thought it might still be related to her energy, which had once soothed his volatile temper, so she had no resistance or defensiveness towards him.

Huo Yin also showed a strong sense of dependence on her.

She looked up at him, and Huo Yin looked down at her. Their eyes met, and she looked into his beautiful golden eyes. She felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen them somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place them.

Huo Yin saw her look up at him and gently rested his chin on her head.

Anno couldn't help but smile and turned her gaze back to the white sand lake below.
