96: Li Changan’s worries
“Oh, you recognize minghun grass? Then consider it a small gift for you,” Lu Yu said, seeing Little White Fox excitedly staring at the minghun grass, and directly handed it to her.
Little White Fox opened her mouth wide, stunned for a moment, then repeatedly waved her fluffy paws, refusing, “Brother, this minghun grass is too precious. If I’m not mistaken, this minghun grass has already grown to maturity.”
Having the bloodline of a Nine-tailed Fox, she was very familiar with heavenly treasures that enhance spiritual sense, and minghun grass was a very special kind.
It seemed inconspicuous, but when used properly, the effects it could produce were something other heavenly treasures couldn't achieve!
Lu Yu was momentarily stunned. Wasn't it just a spiritual herb with a slight benefit to spiritual sense? Why was Little White Fox so excited?
Seeing Lu Yu's expression, Little White Fox understood his thoughts and quickly explained, “Brother, a single minghun grass is indeed not worth mentioning, but yours is a very rare mature minghun grass, like a mother plant. As long as it's properly cared for, it can continuously differentiate into young minghun grass...”
After hearing Little White Fox's explanation, Lu Yu looked at the minghun grass in his hand with a completely different gaze.
According to Little White Fox, once the number of minghun grass reached hundreds or thousands, a quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change, and the help it would provide for cultivating spiritual sense would be incredibly terrifying!
“It seems the minghun grass is much better than I imagined,” Lu Yu thought to himself, then once again handed the minghun grass to Little White Fox, saying solemnly, “Since this thing is so important, it should be given to you to handle. You understand it better.”
Little White Fox no longer declined, took it, tilted her head, and thought for a moment before saying, “Brother, since Jiangzhou City is already our stronghold, let's place the minghun grass at the core of the array.”
“The spiritual energy at the core of the array is more abundant, which can accelerate the growth and differentiation of the minghun grass. By then, minghun grass will grow everywhere in Jiangzhou City, making this place even more suitable for cultivation and comprehending the origin.”
“Hmm, you can arrange it as you see fit,” Lu Yu nodded.
He also had the same idea.
The core of the array had the most abundant spiritual energy and could be completely set up as a spiritual field to accelerate the growth of spiritual materials.
The Firebird and other fierce beasts didn't know much about minghun grass, but upon hearing that it could make comprehending the origin more suitable, their eyes immediately lit up.
They were very clear that the origin was not so easy to comprehend; otherwise, Tier B Ferocious Beasts wouldn't still be so rare.
“Mr. Lu, we have an emergency!” Suddenly, Li Changan's slightly anxious voice came from outside the conference room.
Little White Fox and the other fierce beasts all looked towards the door, most of them showing confused expressions. Jiangzhou City was as stable as Mount Tai, what kind of emergency could there be?
Lu Yu had a vague guess but wasn't too concerned, saying indifferently, “Come in.”
With a “creak,” the tightly closed conference room door was pushed open by Li Changan.
He held a thick stack of documents in his hand and strode towards Lu Yu, his brows furrowed into a 'river' character.
“Mr. Lu, we just received urgent news. Satellite detection shows dozens of fierce beasts from other countries are heading towards Jiangzhou City. Most of them are Tier C Ferocious Beasts. After investigation and analysis, they all came from the territories of those Tier B Ferocious Beasts. It seems... it seems they have set their sights on Jiangzhou City.”
The more Li Changan spoke, the more suppressed he felt.
He hadn't expected that Jiangzhou City becoming a treasure land of spiritual energy convergence would alarm so many Tier B Ferocious Beasts in such a short time.
Those Tier C Ferocious Beasts heading here were definitely vanguards sent by Tier B Ferocious Beasts to probe Lu Yu's strength and the reality of Jiangzhou City.
Just thinking about it made him feel terrified and extremely worried.
If not handled well, Jiangzhou City would inevitably become the center of a whirlpool, and countless people and fierce beasts would be swept into it!
The Firebird and other fierce beasts also looked much more solemn, gazing at the various documents and satellite images Li Changan had brought out.
Recently, many Tier B Ferocious Beasts had appeared on the Blue Star, fighting fiercely and endlessly over territories and treasure lands.
They had heard a lot of gossip before, but now that those fierce beasts seemed to be targeting their territory, they suddenly felt very tricky.
Because, judging from the satellite map marked by Li Changan, most of the Tier B Ferocious Beasts globally were interested in Jiangzhou City and had sent their subordinate Tier C Ferocious Beasts!
If the power of these Tier B Ferocious Beasts came pressing down, what a terrifying force that would be?!
Although their strength had also been continuously improving, they had no confidence whatsoever in confronting Tier B Ferocious Beasts!
Even if their Lord was among the best of Tier B Ferocious Beasts, dealing with so many Tier B Ferocious Beasts was simply an impossible task.
Immediately, the Firebird and other fierce beasts shifted their gaze to Lu Yu. When they couldn't make up their minds, they all instinctively looked at Lu Yu, awaiting his decision.
However, seeing Lu Yu's calm and composed demeanor, their nervous hearts instantly calmed down.
Although they hadn't been with their Lord for long, they had experienced many storms, and each time, their Lord had perfectly resolved them.
As long as their Lord wasn't flustered, it meant everything was under his control.
And as the Firebird and other fierce beasts looked at Lu Yu, Li Changan said earnestly, “Mr. Lu, those fierce beasts are all greedy. If we can't properly deter them, it might cause great chaos. I wonder if we need to deploy some nuclear bombs?”
Although he knew from Lu Yu that nuclear bombs had little effect on Tier B Ferocious Beasts, they still had considerable lethality against Tier C Ferocious Beasts.
Moreover, Jiangzhou City was only so big; a few nuclear bombs would likely leave Tier B Ferocious Beasts unharmed, but Jiangzhou City couldn't withstand such turmoil.
Transporting nuclear bombs here was mainly to prevent Tier B Ferocious Beasts from being too rampant, otherwise, it would be a lose-lose situation, and they would get nothing.
Lu Yu understood Li Changan's thoughts very well and knew even more why he cared so much about Jiangzhou City and wanted to help him overcome this crisis.
However, his wings had already evolved to Tier A, and he also possessed powerful spiritual artifacts like the Starry Sky Astrolabe.
Coupled with the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array in Jiangzhou City, it would be difficult even for a Tier A ferocious beast to break through, making it a veritable fortress.
Not only was he not worried, but he even hoped that those Tier B Ferocious Beasts would rush over to deliver themselves to him, saving him the trouble of taking the initiative.
His current evolution points were already close to sixty thousand. After eliminating four more Tier B Ferocious Beasts, he would have enough evolution points to break through to Tier A.
Therefore, Lu Yu casually shook his head. “There's no need for nuclear bombs. Just keep a close eye on their movements.”
Lu Yu's unequivocal refusal left Li Changan dumbfounded, making him wonder if he had misheard something.
With so many Tier B Ferocious Beasts coveting this place, why did Lu Yu not feel any sense of crisis?
He didn't deny Lu Yu's power, but no matter how strong he was, he was still just a Tier B Ferocious Beast!
The Tier B Ferocious Beasts eyeing Jiangzhou City, this juicy piece of meat, were roughly estimated to be no less than twenty.
