Chapter 81 Life Spirit
The appearance of the monster proved that Tian Jiaoyang had not only sneaked into Ancheng, but also caused damage.
Xu Can frowned. He didn't expect this person to be so dangerous.
At first, Xu Can only planned to look for Tian Jiaoyang in the religious groups in Ancheng in a low-key manner, but the current situation no longer allows her to do so.
She must find Tian Jiaoyang as soon as possible.
Xu Can simply said, "I will immediately arrange for people to check all religious groups in Ancheng one by one to see if we can find anyone from the Bethida sect. Once I have any information, I will share it with you."
This is also what Gu Nian wanted.
At this time, Gu Nian asked again: "Do you know anything about that evil dragon?"
What Gu Nian cares about most right now is not even Tian Jiaoyang, but the evil dragon that is suspected to be the life spirit prompted by the system.
Xu Can said: "The monster appeared outside Ancheng eight days ago, and this evil dragon also appeared at that time. We originally thought that this evil dragon was a monster that appeared suddenly, but if these monsters are all transformed from some kind of mutant beasts, then is this evil dragon also transformed from some kind of creature?"
Gu Nian asked: "Have you found this creature?" She guessed that the evil dragon before its alienation was most likely the life spirit mentioned by the system.
"It really happened." Xu Can said with a wry smile, "A dragon really did appear in Ancheng after the natural disaster."
Gu Nian looked at her in shock. In Dragon Country, dragons have always been regarded as divine creatures. After the natural disaster, many evolved beasts appeared in the wilderness. Some of them were indeed very similar to the creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. But, were there really dragons?
However, Zhang Xiaohong directly turned on the projector and showed the images to Gu Nian.
"Ancheng is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It is not short of ancient tombs and ruins. It is also known as the place where the ancient dragon vein of China is located. But no one expected that after the natural disaster, a dragon really appeared here..."
As Zhang Xiaohong spoke in a low voice, the image on the projection shook. It was clearly a scene from an earthquake.
Gu Nian looked at it carefully.
This footage records Ancheng during the earthquake.
After the natural disaster, earthquakes swept across the entire Blue Water Planet, and Ancheng also experienced a strong earthquake. The location in this video is the CBD area of Ancheng, with several skyscrapers standing in the middle, and the signs on them are all famous financial institutions before the natural disaster.
Gu Nian took a look and felt as if he was in another world. After the natural disaster, these financial institutions that once could manipulate the situation in small countries had completely turned to ashes.
The earthquake hit quickly, and the skyscrapers collapsed rapidly, smashing into the surroundings. The wisdom of today's society has become the biggest source of disaster at this moment. People in the CBD area had no time to escape and were directly crushed to death by the collapsed buildings.
As the earthquake continued, the entire city of Ancheng was completely shattered, leaving only ruins. However, in the center of Ancheng, an ancient tomb suddenly appeared after the ground collapsed.
It is more like an underground palace than an ancient tomb.
The underground palace was exposed to the light of day again because of an earthquake.
In the middle of the underground palace, there lies a white dragon.
The white dragon slowly opened its eyelids, revealing a pair of compassionate pupils.
The white dragon gently swayed its body and floated in the air. Invisible power spread from around it, and the originally violent earthquake was suddenly stopped, gradually weakening and then completely disappearing.
The video stops here.
"This is the video of the Ancheng earthquake," said Zhang Xiaohong. She has watched this video countless times, but she is amazed every time she watches it. "The residents of Ancheng have heard a legend since they were young, that this is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the center of the dragon vein, and that there is a dragon guarding Ancheng. But I didn't expect that when the natural disaster came, the dragon really appeared."
"If it weren't for the white dragon stopping the earthquake, there would be far fewer people alive in Ancheng now," said Xu Can.
"What about this white dragon?" Gu Nian asked.
"After the earthquake, no one has seen it since." Xu Can said. "However, is it possible that the evil dragon that appeared now is the white dragon transformed? After all, the entire Ancheng, or even the entire Dragon Country, has only seen one dragon."
Before Gu Nian told Xu Can, Xu Can was short-sighted and never thought that maybe the evil dragon was an alienated creature. But now, it seems very likely that the evil dragon is an alienated white dragon.
After all, creatures like dragons are not something you can see casually. It is a great blessing to have one.
After listening to it and combining it with the system's prompts, Gu Nian knew the answer.
This white dragon tried its best to save Ancheng from the natural disaster, but was alienated by some force and became the evil dragon it is today.
"Is there any way to purify this dragon?" Gu Nian asked quickly. According to the system prompt, only uncontaminated white dragons can be useful to the planetary consciousness.
Zhang Xiaohong hesitated and said, "Actually, I have already started researching."
Gu Nian and Xu Can looked at her together.
"Let me make it clear first, this is an idea that has not been verified and is only somewhat possible," Zhang Xiaohong emphasized, with the rigor typical of scientific researchers.
"Just tell me. It's your job to be responsible for the research, and it's my job to adopt the proposal and take the responsibility," Xu Can said readily.
It must be said that these words greatly relieved Zhang Xiaohong's pressure. Her next words were also much smoother: "All evolved creatures have extremely strong immune systems. These bacteria will emit a strange energy fluctuation that suppresses the evolved creatures' own energy, so they can be successfully infected. However, if we can find the energy that comes from the same source as the white dragon, and import it into the white dragon's body again to suppress the energy of these strange bacteria, perhaps we can complete the purification."
Zhang Xiaohong spread her hands and said with a wry smile: "But the question now is, where can we find this energy that comes from the same source as the White Dragon?"
"Maybe, it really is." Xu Can said.
Gu Nian and Zhang Xiaohong turned their eyes to her again.
Xu Can said: "After the earthquake stopped, the authorities organized a team to explore the underground palace. Not many people knew about this, and the authorities intentionally blocked the information from the public. Only people with a certain level of authority can view it."
"In that underground palace, we found a spirit pearl, which was the companion treasure of the white dragon. According to eyewitnesses, the white dragon was born with the spirit pearl in its mouth. When it saw the devastation in Ancheng, it burst into tears and left the spirit pearl behind. The Jiangcheng officials stored the spirit pearl in a secret vault."
"That spirit bead may contain the energy you need."
"But how do we get this spiritual pearl?" Gu Nian said.
Xu Can pondered for a while and said, "I will go to the base commander and apply for the research permission for this spirit bead."
Ancheng City has now been converted into a base, and the highest leader of the base is now called the base commander.
Xu Can called the base commander directly.
On the other end of the phone, a dignified middle-aged man's voice came: "Xu Can?"
"Yes, it's me." Xu Can said. "Hello, base commander, I have something to report to you."
"Go ahead."
"I want to apply for a spiritual bead for research." Xu Can said. "It's the spiritual bead found in the ancient tomb."
"Why are you researching that spiritual bead?" The base commander asked in confusion, "It was the companion of the white dragon that saved Ancheng, not just any research material. If you need some spiritual materials, you can use something else, but not this."
"This spiritual bead is irreplaceable and may be able to improve the efficiency of weapon use." Xu Can said quickly.
"What we need now is not weapons, but acid rain early warning technology. If you have time, you can spend your energy on researching these aspects." The phone was hung up.
The base commander rejected Xu Can.
Xu Can smiled bitterly: "It seems that we can only think of some other way to get this spiritual pearl."
The three of them knew very well that this so-called other method was to steal.
Xu Can told Gu Nian that she would hurry up to find the collection location of the spirit beads and figure out the route to steal them, and Gu Nian agreed to arrange people.
Everything was settled and Gu Nian returned to the camp.
Chi Qin had already arrived with the rest of the team. Taking advantage of the pause in the acid rain, Chi Qin and the others sped up their journey and finally arrived at Ancheng smoothly, where they reunited with Gu Nian.
Amidst the chaos, good news finally came out. Now in this four-story building, in addition to Gu Nian, Yue Jian, Chi Qin and Tu Jing, there are 40 members of the Aurora team.
Chi Qin told Gu Nian that during the time Gu Nian was in Haicheng, the members of the Aurora team were also busy, constantly going to the wilderness to capture flying animals for domestication. Although they failed to domesticate another group of golden-winged falcons, they did find a mutant red-bellied eagle that could also be used as a flying mount.
There are only eighteen days left until the final deadline given by the system.
But now Gu Nian can only wait.
Gu Nian turned on the radio.
The radio station was broadcasting the news, informing the public of the current situation in Ancheng. The hospitals in Ancheng were now filled with injured people. The acid rain eroded the skin on the surface of the body, and the pain could only be relieved by taking a large amount of anesthetics. Whether there would be sequelae was no longer considered. The injured people were crying in the hospital, and they had turned into bloody and red monsters without skin...
The current Ancheng Hospital has turned into a miserable hell.
The people began to march.
This acid rain broke the last line of defense in the hearts of the already desperate people. If it is destined to be just one disaster after another, then what is the meaning of life? If there is no answer, then just destroy everything to vent the collapse in your heart.
That night, several arson cases occurred in Ancheng.
The next morning, under tremendous pressure, the base commander of Ancheng came out to speak.
His voice came over the radio.
"…The source of all these disasters was brought by the evil dragon. But we have once again recognized the facts. Five days later, we will send the best team of evolvers to defeat the evil dragon and bring peace back to Ancheng. If you are also an evolver, then you are welcome to join our team!"
Gu Nian was horrified.
With the system's prompt, she knew better than anyone that this evil dragon was most likely a polluted life spirit, and this acid rain disaster was most likely caused by Tian Jiaoyang with the Planet Axis, just like Tian Jiaoyang had caused a tsunami in Haicheng.
But what about now? Now the base commander has decided to declare war on the dragon. This can't solve the problem at all. Not only that, if the dragon is really killed by the base commander, what about her mission?
"Should we ask Xu Can to explain the situation to the base commander and stop it?" Chi Qin suggested. She had already caught up with the situation.
"It's useless." Tu Jing said calmly. "The reason why the base commander wants to fight the evil dragon is to divert the attention of the people of Ancheng, vent their emotions, and calm down internal conflicts. It doesn't matter whether the evil dragon is the source of the acid rain disaster."
What Tu Jing said makes sense.
Just then, Xu Can and Zhang Xiaohong arrived at Gu Nian's camp.
"We have obtained the map of the warehouse where the spirit beads are located. We can start the action now." Xu Can said.
