Zhuang Yan quickly sent the location of the spiritual vein. Yue Ya was a little uneasy because he couldn't contact his sister. He remembered that his sister always wore a necklace with a positioning function, so he immediately used his mobile phone to locate her position. Unexpectedly, her position was very close to the spiritual vein.

The cause of this disaster was the drying up of the spiritual veins. The closer you are to the spiritual veins, the more severely you will be affected. Yue Ya frowned and clenched his phone.

Xiaomai found the first aid kit in the car. Seeing that Yue Ya looked unwell, she looked at him worriedly, "Are you okay? What happened to those vines... You are my friend Yue Ya, right?"

Xiaomai was very close to Yueya and saw how he made the move. Not only Xiaomai, but several people nearby saw it and were now looking at Yueya in amazement. There was both the relief of escaping death and a mysterious yearning in their eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yue Ya felt that they regarded themselves as superheroes in the movies.

But what does it matter? When the matter is over, the witnesses will definitely have their memories erased by the Special Management Bureau.

The situation here has been brought under control, and Zhuang Yan's people will be here soon. Yue Ya and Xiao Mai said, "I'll tell you what's going on later. I have to go save my sister now. It's even more unsafe inside. You stay here and wait for rescue."

Xiaomai raised the medical kit in her hand and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm a potential doctor and have experience in dealing with this kind of situation. I'll go check if there are any injured."

The two have been friends for many years. Xiaomai knows Yueya very well and knows that now is not the time to ask too many questions, so she keeps her doubts to herself for the time being.

Yueya nodded, spread his white wings behind him, turned around and flew into the sky, disappearing in the distance in the blink of an eye.

Xiaomai was stunned: "..." I don't seem to know him very well! !

People who saw this scene were excited.

"Fuck, that handsome guy just flew away? Such a big handsome guy... flew away??"

"Am I dazzled? He was the one who used vines to tie up the fallen rocks and saved us!"

"He's a god? Oh my god, it turns out there are really gods in this world!"

"Mom, I saw a flying man!"

Some people excitedly worshipped the place where Yue Ya disappeared, and some came to ask Xiaomai if the fairy brother was his friend...

Xiaomai was a little dizzy by the chaos in front of him. He shook his head and raised the medical box in his hand: "Please help and see if anyone is injured. I can treat the wounds of the injured!"

He shouted several times, and people gradually calmed down and began to help each other to solve the troubles at hand.

…

Yue Ya hovered in the air, overlooking the area below.

This place is very close to the spiritual vein and near the center of the earthquake. There are not many buildings on the mountain. There is only one temple nearby, which has collapsed in half and the area underneath is in a mess.

Fortunately, the people in the temple were very alert and moved to an open area in time to take shelter. Yue Ya did not find his sister in the crowd, so he moved according to the location and finally stopped over a ruined building.

The first tremor has passed and the ground is relatively calm now, but the earthquake is far from over. When the next tremor hits, the collapse here will be even more serious.

Feifei appeared on Yueya's shoulder, making an anxious howl.

Yueya understood the message conveyed by Feifei and pursed her lips: "Feifei, do you smell my sister's scent?"

"Meow!" Follow the meow!

Feifei jumped down the ruins without hesitation, sniffing as he walked, and finally stopped in front of a pile of rocks.

Yue Ya landed next to Fei Fei and heard a weak cry for help from a nearly enclosed pile of ruins.

"Is there anyone? Please save us... Please save us..."

The voice sounded familiar, somewhat like that of my sister's assistant.

"There's someone here. What's the situation inside?" Yue Ya responded.

His calm voice gave the people inside great confidence. The person calling for help was very excited, and his voice was filled with tears: "There are three of us! This place is blocked by rocks, but there is a triangular space. My friend fainted, and my boss's calf was crushed by a rock and he was bleeding a lot..."

Yue Yi's voice rang out from inside: "Xiao Yueya...is that you?"

In this situation, her voice remained calm.

"Sister, it's me. Don't be afraid, I'll rescue you right away, just protect your heads."

The situation here was not difficult to deal with. Yue Ya used vines to carefully move the stones, cleared an escape passage, and rescued the people.

The assistant was a little surprised when he saw the wings behind Yue Ya: "Young Master Yue, are these wings... cosplay?"

But after a closer look, it didn't look like that. How could there be such realistic wings? Looking at the moving vines, the assistant felt that his worldview had also been shattered by the earthquake.

Feifei climbed onto Yueya’s shoulder and tilted his head: “Meow?” Meow didn’t understand what cosplay was.

Yue Ya met her sister's questioning gaze and sighed: "I know you have a lot to ask me, but it's still very dangerous here, let's evacuate first."

Yueya picked up her sister and brought her to a safe place. She quickly turned back and picked up the fainted girl. She glanced at the assistant brother calmly and asked, "Can you still walk?"

The assistant hurried out: "I can do it!"

After settling the two ladies, Yueya felt that the assistant walked too slowly, so she carried him over as well. Yueya was fast, so it didn't take much time for the whole process.

The girl fainted from shock, with no external injuries. Yue Yi was the most seriously injured of the three. Yue used her spiritual energy to stop her sister's bleeding, and told her assistant to take good care of the injured before leaving.

Yue Yi probably felt something and called out to Yue Ya: "No matter what you are going to do...you must come back safely."

Yue Ya turned around and smiled: "Don't worry."

Two colleagues from the Special Management Bureau had already arrived at the scene. Yue Ya had no worries anymore and spread his wings to fly towards the source of the spiritual vein.

A huge gully appeared ahead. Although there was no forest fire, the soil on both sides of the gully was charred black. The lifeless corpses of animals and plants merged with the charred soil. An unpleasant and foul-smelling gas filled the gully. It was like a purgatory.

Seeing this scene, Yue Ya remembered what Chen Du said, that if the spiritual energy of this world was completely lost, their home would become an uninhabitable wasteland.

Yue Ya looked into the abyss. Spiritual veins were invisible and intangible in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Yue Ya's eyes, they had shapes and even colors.

He could see a nearly transparent vein running across the middle of the gully, and the spiritual energy inside had been almost completely sucked out, leaving only an empty shell. These veins were like the blood vessels of the earth, and spiritual energy was the blood flowing through the earth. Without blood, the land would dry up, and the various unstable factors brought about by the loss of spiritual energy would cause various disasters.

When Yue Ya saw this exposed spiritual vein, he felt particularly familiar with it. Without any hesitation, he used vines to connect the dried up spiritual vein and transported spiritual energy into it.

The moment the vine connected to the spiritual vein, a white light flashed in Yue Ya's mind, and some familiar yet unfamiliar images flashed through his mind.

He saw himself being here before, lying on the green grass in the sun, holding a pot of wine in his hand, with a comfortable smile on his face. After drinking the pot of wine, "himself" threw the pot and injected spiritual energy into the grass with his bare hands, and a spiritual vein appeared underneath.

The person in the picture looked like him, but he looked carefree and unrestrained, with a rosy and healthy complexion, which was somewhat different from his sickly self. Yue Ya frowned, and could not tell whether this was the past or the future.

After just a moment of distraction, the "self" in the picture has transformed into a majestic Pixiu, walking away on the clouds.

It was a Pixiu in its complete form, covered in beautiful scales and shrouded in incomparable divine glory.

The scene changed, and Yue Ya saw the Pixiu again. Its wings were broken and it was covered in blood. Several huge black hands stretched out from the void and pulled out a vein on its back...

The Pixiu wailed in pain and looked over deeply, tears soaking its golden eyes but never falling.

A huge pain came over Yue Ya, and his head was splitting with pain, and he almost fell to the ground. He relied on his tenacious willpower to endure the pain, and pulled himself out of the fragments of memory that were not in a picture, to check the spiritual veins in the gully.

The spiritual vein was almost repaired, and the spiritual energy used was less than Yue Ya imagined. Only when the spiritual vein was completely repaired did Yue Ya retract the vines and fall down due to exhaustion.

As soon as Zhuang Yan and others arrived, they saw Yue Ya lying on the scorched earth. One step outside was a bottomless abyss. Zhuang Yan was so scared that he rushed over to move Yue Ya inside.

"Yue Ya! Yue Ya!" No matter how they called, Yue Ya did not open his eyes.

Chen Du went forward to check on him and sighed, "It's okay, he's just tired."

Yueya's wings and horns were folded up, and her soft eyelashes hung under her eyes, making her look surprisingly well-behaved.

Zhuang Yan glanced at the abyss and immediately concluded: "It was Yue Ya who repaired the spiritual vein."

The girl with a bun-like hair, whose real name is Lin Kong'er, shook her head: "He completed this task by himself, no wonder he was so tired."

"We can't hold him back. Cheer up, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with." Chen Du patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder and ordered his subordinates in a deep voice: "This spiritual vein is listed as a restricted area. Do not let ordinary people get close. Let our people come to guard it to avoid any more trouble."

…

When Yueya woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar place. The decoration around her looked a bit like a hospital. She raised her hand and saw a needle stuck in the back of her hand.

He narrowed his eyes, and the fragmented scenes he had seen near the spiritual vein flashed through his mind again, and his head began to hurt again.

A low moan escaped from his lips, and Zhuang Yan, who was waiting outside, came in immediately: "Awake?"

Yue Ya sat up with his head covered. Zhuang Yan came over to adjust the height of his bed: "Headache?"

Yue Ya waved her hand nonchalantly: "Where are the people who were rescued?"

"You want to ask about your sister, right? I didn't expect your sister to be that big star. My sister likes her very much. Every time her movie is released, my sister will bring the whole family to the cinema to support her." Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "She is in the next ward. I'll let the doctor come over to see you first, and then you can go over..."

"No, I'm fine."

Seeing Yue Ya was about to pull out the needle, Zhuang Yan stopped her and whispered, "Some of her memories have been erased, and she hasn't woken up yet. You can't say anything if you rush over. It's better to let her have a good rest."

Yue Ya sat back down and asked, "Do people from your Special Management Bureau hide their abilities from their families?"

Zhuang Yan pressed the nurse bell, washed his hands, peeled an apple for Yue Ya, and said slowly: "Of course, we are doing this for the good of our family. Some things are better unknown than known. They are all ordinary people. Knowing the truth of the world will only add to their troubles. What's more, our abilities are more or less related to the changes in the world's spiritual energy. When the world returns to normal, we may become ordinary people too."

Yueya nodded: "Have you completed the cleanup work?"

Zhuang Yan reassured him, "We have a special aftermath department in our bureau. They are very experienced in doing these things and have almost sorted it out. The news you see will only say that this was a sudden natural disaster. However, the outside world has already known that there is a crew filming in Green Mountain. Several actors in that crew are very famous. The public attention to this matter will not be too low. As for your sister...you should pay more attention to her."

Yueya is not worried about these things. His sister runs her own studio and the team has strong public relations capabilities and will definitely be able to handle it properly.

"Where's my friend Xiaomai?"

Zhuang Yan: "Is it that enthusiastic medical student? We also erased some of his memories. He has a very good physique and woke up early. He was going to stay with you, but it seems that he had something urgent to do, so he went home first."

Yue Ya thought of the time when she fainted: "How is the spiritual vein?"

"You have repaired it," Zhuang Yan paused and smiled, "It is more stable than before it dried up. This accident was very sudden, but fortunately it was controlled in time and only a small number of people were injured."

Yue Ya thought of a question: "Since you can detect the exhaustion of spiritual veins, why didn't you give an early warning?"

At this time, the doctor and the nurse arrived. Zhuang Yan signaled Yue Ya to talk later and went to greet the doctor: "Hello, doctor. My friend just woke up. Can you take a look at him?"

The doctor nodded, gave Yueya some basic examinations, and asked some questions.

Yueya answered all the questions one by one, and the doctor said, "It's nothing serious, just a little overworked. You can be discharged from the hospital after the IV drip is finished. Take good care of yourself when you go home."

After sending the doctor away, Zhuang Yan handed the peeled apple to Yue Ya and said, "I'll get you discharged from the hospital. Let's go back to the special service team and talk about what you want to know. The team leader seems to have discussed the results with the higher-ups, and I heard he wants to tell you something very important."

"You eat, I'm going to go see my sister."

"Don't pull out the needle, I'll get you a mobile IV stand!"

Yueya was still a little dizzy when he stood up. He pushed the infusion stand to the next ward and met his sister's agent at the door.

Yue Ya didn't go in either. She looked at the situation outside the door and gave her agent a few words, asking her to contact her directly if she had any questions.

The agent said that he had contacted his parents before he was admitted to the hospital and asked him to call them when he had time.

Yue Ya wanted to keep it a secret, but he didn't expect his parents to know about it, so he thought of looking for his phone. When he turned it on, he saw that there were indeed many missed calls, so he quickly called them back.

After the call was connected, he learned that his parents had packed their luggage and were ready to return home. He quickly downplayed the situation and comforted them. In the current situation, it was really not suitable to travel back and forth.

After he convinced his two elders, Zhuang Yan also completed the discharge procedures for him.

Yueya waited in the hospital for her sister to wake up. After exchanging a few words, she followed Zhuang Yan's car back to the special service team. The two cities are very close, and the drive takes less than an hour.

Because of this accident, the entire Special Management Bureau was busy and overwhelmed, but Yue Ya was the top priority. As soon as he arrived at the special service team, Chen Du put down everything and came to see him.

Before Yue Ya asked, Chen Du explained to him: "The spiritual vein dried up very suddenly this time, and the speed of spiritual energy loss was unprecedented, leaving us too little time to react. We suspect that this is related to the large amount of spiritual energy you absorbed in the dungeon. This time, the game may have increased the intensity of stealing spiritual energy to fill the gap, or it may have deliberately used this incident to warn us."

"Regardless, as long as we continue to implement the plan, these incidents will become more and more frequent."

Zhuang Yan's eyes widened: "Boss, the plan cannot be stopped!"

"Of course I know that once the plan stops, the spiritual energy of our world will be sucked away by the game sooner or later," Chen Du rubbed his brows, "but we have to find a way to deal with this situation, otherwise Yue Ya will fill it while the game steals it, and the problem will still not be solved, and Yue Ya will be very tired."

Zhuang Yan said: "This is a protracted war. Haven't we realized this long ago? We will definitely find a solution. We just need time."

"If we want to completely solve the problem, we need to start from the source," Yue Ya said, "either figure out how the game steals spiritual energy, or destroy the game."

Everyone present was stunned when they heard these words, and some of them were overwhelmed after they realized what was happening.

Chen Du cheered up: "You are right, we have found some powerful characters recently. Let's unite and go in these two directions. We must take back the spiritual energy!"

After calming down, Chen Du left Yue Ya alone. He took out a half-crumpled pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket and wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down. He wanted Yue Ya to be considered a half-patient, so he held the cigarette in his mouth without lighting it. "I discussed some things with several experts these days and got some information. I don't know how to tell you... So, I want to take you to a place where you may gain something."

Yueya: "Where to?"

"It's right behind the Special Management Bureau."

After following Chen Du for ten minutes, Yue Ya realized that this seemingly ordinary Special Management Bureau was actually a different world. A large area at the back belonged to the Special Management Bureau.

After passing a small forest, Yue Ya saw a fenced-off flat land with a field of hyacinths in full bloom, swaying in the breeze. Yue Ya looked to the side and found a sign that said "No Trespassing".

"Restricted area?" Yue Ya closed his eyes, an indescribable emotion arose in his heart. If he had to use words to describe it, the only word he could think of was "return home".

Chen Du took out the cigarette from his mouth and pointed forward: "There is a legend circulating in our bureau - there is a skeleton of a god buried under the restricted area."

Yue Ya looked at him with a calm gaze: "Pixiu?"

Chen Du was a little surprised, but he thought it made sense: "It seems that you had a premonition. The last time you came to the dungeon, you said that you felt that you and the spiritual energy came from the same source, and I remembered this legend. Do you know how the spiritual veins of this world were formed?"

Yue Ya thought of the scene he saw in the ravine and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."

"Legend has it that there was a guardian god in our world. He transformed into a human form and traveled around the world. Whenever he went to a place he liked, he would leave a mark there. This was the prototype of the spiritual vein." Chen Du's expression became more solemn: "What is buried here is his bones."

Yueya: "How did he die?"

Chen Du shook his head and looked at Yue Ya deeply: "You need to find the answer to this. I think... you are him."

Chen Du had one more thing left to say: The guardian god is back.

Yue Ya bent his knees and squatted, touching the ground with his white jade-like fingers. The calm ground suddenly shook, and a purple petal was lifted up.

Chen Du was startled, but did not disturb him.

Yue Ya slowly withdrew his fingertips. Fei Fei squatted in front of him at some point, and there were tears in her heterochromatic eyes.

"Little guy, why are you crying?" Yueya gently wiped away the tears from Feifei's eyes and looked at Zhuang Yan sideways: "Didn't you say you found some powerful characters? Can you introduce them to me?"

Chen Du blinked: "What level did you say you were at before?"

"I."

"Oh..." Chen Du spread his hands: "You are the most powerful character among us now." Zhuang Yan, who was originally at a higher level than Yue Ya, is now one level lower than Yue Ya.

“…”

"There's a girl named Yunyu who's also pretty good. She seems to be almost at level I." Chen Du asked him, "What are your plans?"

Yueya: "I can now form a three-person team and bring one more person."

Yue Ya believes that the turning point lies in the Huangquan Inn dungeon, and it would be best to bring his own people into the dungeon.

"That's great. Let Yun Yu and Zhuang Yan go with you into the next dungeon. I heard that your rest time has become longer. You should rest for two more days before entering the dungeon."

Yue Ya felt that he was in good condition and the spiritual energy in his body had not decreased too much. However, even if he did not need to rest, Zhuang Yan also needed it, so he did not refuse and decided to start the game two days later.

Two days later, Yue Ya, Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu met in the game hall.

Zhuang Yan and Yun Yu are both H-level players. They need to join Yue Ya's three-row team to play the level I dungeon.

As the writer said, before entering the dungeon this time, Yue Ya indeed had the right to make a choice, to choose between two dungeons, one called "Mini Kingdom" and the other called "Yellow Spring Inn".

Yue Ya asked gently, "Are you ready?"

"Ready." The two companions answered in unison.

Yueya chose "Huangquan Inn" and the three of them entered the new copy together.

…

"Guide, how long will it take us to get there? It's getting dark and we're all hungry."

"Why is this place so far away and so remote? I should have known not to come here..."

The tourist bus was driving on the road in the small town. It was unknown how many years since the road was built. It was full of potholes and the bus was shaking violently.

Perhaps because the journey was too long, some passengers became bored and irritated, and complaints were heard constantly in the bus.

Yueya was sitting in the back row, feeling hungry.

In front, the tour guide wearing a headset calmed everyone down: "Don't worry, the driver said we will be at the homestay in about ten minutes. When we get there, we will serve you the local specialty earthenware chicken and mushroom stew."

Zhuang Yan was sitting next to Yue Ya. Hearing this, he touched his stomach and said, "What kind of a dungeon is this? I'm so hungry right at the start."

Yue Ya looked out the window. The sun had already set. The road was getting darker and darker. There were few people on the road. There were forests on both sides and no houses. It didn't look like they were about to reach the B&B.

As he was looking, Yue Ya suddenly noticed a figure flash by on the road. The car was driving very fast and he couldn't see clearly. He blinked, and a thin paper banknote suddenly "popped" onto the car window.

He counted the zeros on the note and found out it was a ghost money.
