195: Kill monsters to get resources

Hearing Yang Dian murmur, Lei Ming couldn't help but ask curiously,

"What Crystal Mine?"

"The Dimension Crystal Mine beneath the Lizardmen Sacred Mountain?"

Yang Dian reached into his pocket, fumbled around, and pulled out the soft, originally pinkish-white, now slightly black-speckled egg, suspected to be the egg of some spatial creature.

He squeezed the egg, which was as soft and springy as before, then Yang Dian nodded.

"If nothing unexpected, it's that Crystal Mine."

"I saw that Crystal Lizardman."

As he spoke, he frowned again.

"I don't know if seeing that Dimension Crystal Mine here is due to 'space' or if that Dimension Crystal Mine originally extended to this place."

Lei Ming also frowned.

"You can't see that Dimension Crystal Mine here?"

Yang Dian shook his head.

"I only saw it for a moment, and then it disappeared."

As he spoke, he squeezed the egg in his hand again, trying to understand its principle.

"The Dimension Crystal Mine is hidden in another dimension."

"And a dimensional space needs an anchor point to anchor to reality."

"For example, the spatial bracelets on our hands are a sub-dimensional space opened up with raw spatial ore as an anchor point."

"So you all say, could the golden lotus seed beneath the Chengdu Sacred Mountain, and this black shadow in the center of the dome, which we don't know if it's matter or energy, be the anchor point of the Dimension Crystal Mine?"

"Eating the golden lotus seed allows one to resonate with the dimension where the Dimension Crystal Mine in the Chengdu Sacred Mountain is located, and thus see the Dimension Crystal Mine."

"To see the mine in front of us, do we have to..."

Yang Dian squeezed the egg in his hand.

"Eat it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the egg instantly disappeared from Yang Dian's fingertips.

Yang Dian, whose perception was immeasurably stronger than when he went to Chengdu, suddenly constricted his pupils and covered his stomach with his left hand.

"Come out!"

"I won't eat you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the egg reappeared in Yang Dian's right palm.

At the same time, a sour, foul smell wafted into everyone's nostrils.

Looking at the transparent mucus on the egg in Yang Dian's palm, Yue Shan and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

"Did this thing just send itself into your stomach?"

Seeing Yang Dian nod, Lei Ming blinked.

"Is this thing so temperamental?"

"You just said 'eat it,' and it actually dared to die in your stomach?"

Yang Dian flicked the egg, shaking off the stomach acid, then put it back in his pocket.

"I don't understand what this little thing is thinking."

"It has consciousness before hatching, and it can act by perceiving the outside world..."

"I wonder what will hatch when it does."

Speaking of this, Yang Dian looked around at the four people again.

"Uncle Yue, Uncle Lei, Old Daoist, and Uncle Chen, I'm going to check out the dimensional folded space in Chengdu next."

"Are you going back, or are you going to look around here some more?"

"This poor Daoist must return to the mountain for cultivation."

"I have to go back to the Special Administration Bureau to deal with matters."

"I want to go back and explore the path of the Martial Dao Seventh Realm."

Chen Jie, who suffered from being taciturn, could only show a helpless expression.

"Then I'll stay and look for gem mines, wondrous items, and rare treasures first."

"I'll go back when there's a conclusion about the development of the dimensional space."

Lei Ming threw an arm around Chen Jie.

"Good brother, you've worked hard."

As he spoke, he looked around at everyone again.

"Shall we go now?"

Yue Shan and Old Daoist Qingfeng nodded simultaneously, only Yang Dian shook his head.

The four were a little curious.

Yang Dian was the one who said to go, but now that it was time to leave, why was he shaking his head?

Seeing the curiosity in their eyes, Yang Dian casually condensed a long sword of starlight with star matter, twirled it, and said,

"I'm going to kill some more Six-Armed and Eight-Armed Lizardmen."

Yue Shan first frowned, then thought of something and relaxed his tight brow.

"You want to gain the favor of Earth's Will by killing Lizardmen?"

Yang Dian nodded.

"Old William's prophecy is good, but it's too ambiguous."

"Mid-December, the Western Sichuan land collapses, and the underground overlord rushes to the surface."

"This is easy to solve; not knowing the exact time and location is not a big problem."

"After all, we have satellites watching from above, and us and the army guarding from below, so there definitely won't be major chaos."

"But what about the massive tsunami on the southeastern coast at the end of October?"

"Even if we can make all preparations, what if the tsunami exceeds expectations?"

"So I want to accumulate a wave of favor, then return to Earth, enter a state of Unity of Man and Nature, and make a wish to Earth's Will, to see if I can find that Fire Flame Turtle in advance."

Old Daoist Qingfeng stroked his beard and nodded.

"Boundless Heavenly Venerable."

"It still has to be you young people; how could this old Daoist not think of such a good method..."

...An hour later.

The edge of the dimensional folded space.

Yang Dian looked down at the ground.

The ground beneath his feet inexplicably cracked, and magma shot up from the fissure.

Yes, the magma's target was him.

He gazed into the distance.

A wild-tempered giant bird tore through the air, seemingly intent on fighting him to the death.

Seeing this, Yang Dian finally retracted the long sword in his hand and leaped.

Golden-yellow energy appeared out of thin air, carrying him towards the sky before a blue giant bird with a wingspan of nearly three hundred meters could peck him.

Looking down again.

Yang Dian saw a hundred-meter-long red giant python spewing flames from the magma, engaging in a fierce battle with the giant bird.

'If I had been a little slower, I might have been ganged up on by the giant bird and the giant python!'

In his thoughts, the golden sphere had already carried Yang Dian back to the spatial node.

The four people waiting at the node breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Dian return safely.

"Good boy, you're playing it pretty extreme," Yue Shan patted Yang Dian's shoulder.

"If you were any slower, we would have had to go down and get you."

Yang Dian shrugged.

"It wouldn't have come to that."

"The golden light sphere that brings us back contains spatial attributes; as long as we're not instantly killed, it's enough for us to wait for mother earth to bring us back."

After speaking, Yang Dian closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.

Even without entering the state of Unity of Man and Nature, Yang Dian could perceive a seemingly ethereal guidance surrounding him, wanting to lead him to a certain location.

'It really turned into 'fortune found in danger,' killing monsters for resources.'

He inwardly complained, and then the group flew back to Earth along the spatial node.

As soon as they exited the spatial node, the surrounding construction site, though bustling, was orderly, which made Yang Dian stare in a daze.

He turned his head and noticed the red-on-white banners with slogans like "Safety First, Civilized Construction" and "Careful Planning, Perfect Presentation," and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"It seems we don't need to inform the Wen Organization; they've acted much faster than we imagined."

Yue Shan stood beside Yang Dian and nodded in agreement.

"In terms of strength, those people from the Wen Organization can't compare to us Martial Artists and Awakened ones."

"In terms of scientific research, they also can't compare to the scientists in the academies and Research Institutes."

"But when it comes to foresight, planning, and cunning..."

"Whether it's overt schemes or covert conspiracies, we probably aren't even fit to carry their shoes..."
