81: Chapter 81 Operation Changcheng

Chang City Administration Building.

The Chang City Lord, who was sitting in his office drinking tea and reviewing documents, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Level 45, Black Wind Ghost Eagle, Overlord Rank Beast, which city's person is acting so recklessly?"

"White Dragon, capture it."

In the center of the garden in front of the Administration Building, ripples suddenly appeared in the middle of the massive artificial lake.

The next second, the inconspicuous ripples on the lake surface expanded into a massive whirlpool, and a silver-white figure, a giant creature radiating a white halo, broke through the water from the whirlpool.

Its scales were as white as frost and snow, and the dragon mane behind its head was as smooth as flowing clouds.

The White Dragon raised its head to the sky, its pale golden vertical pupils fixed intently on the Black Wind Ghost Eagle looming faintly above the clouds in the sky ahead.

"Hmph..."

A wisp of white breath escaped from its slightly opened dragon maw; the White Dragon's body arched slightly, and it shot upward, its snow-white body tearing through the cloud curtain, reaching the Black Wind Ghost Eagle in an instant, its dragon claws gleaming with white light in the sunlight.

It aimed straight for the Black Wind Ghost Eagle's face.

"Spirit Realm! A Spirit Realm has erupted!"

The attack stopped abruptly; the Black Wind Ghost Eagle's pupils trembled, for the stopped dragon claw was hovering right at its face.

If its Beast Tamer had spoken even a second later, the outcome would have been completely different.

Commander Xiang Ding stared at the white Flood Dragon looming before him, his throat bobbing involuntarily.

This aura, is it Level 60? Is the Chang City Lord about to become a General Rank Beast Tamer?

Now was not the time to think about these things; after this thought crossed Commander Xiang Ding's mind, he immediately stated the matter to the white Flood Dragon.

"A Primary Spirit Realm has erupted outside the city. My grandson, Xiang Tian, as well as Chairman Cui Geng's daughter, Cui Yan, and your Chang City's Qin Ding—a total of three people—have been caught inside. Please, Chang City Lord, quickly dispatch a suitable Spirit Realm exploration team to accompany me."

Inside the Administration Building, City Lord Mo Qian's hand suddenly paused; there was no surprise or astonishment in his eyes, but rather a calm born of habit.

"Has it erupted again? The frequency of Spirit Realms seems to have increased again?"

"Two people from the lower regions have been caught in it; this is a bit troublesome..."

Although he said this, Mo Qian immediately picked up the landline phone on his desk.

"Team Three, we've got work. Your team will go with my White Dragon."

"Two people from the lower regions and our Chang City's local top student—bring all three of them back for me."

[Work again? Sigh... what a life of drudgery...]

The person on the other end of the phone complained briefly before hanging up, and Mo Qian also put down the phone, saying, "I've done what I can. Whether they can survive depends on whether the three young people can hold out until rescue arrives."

In the Administration Building, among the four youths, apart from the leader who looked a bit distressed, the remaining three all wore expressions of trepidation.

"Captain, are we going on another mission?"

The captain looked back at his team members; in this team, apart from his own Beast, which was a Level 40 Commander Rank, the main Beasts of the three team members were all Level 30 Elite Rank.

The reason for this composition was naturally to maximize the constraints of the Spirit Realm rules to enter the Spirit Realm and eliminate the Spirit Realm Beast King.

One must know that within a Spirit Realm, there are not only Beast Kings but also countless Spirit Realm Spirit Beasts. Once an attack is launched on the Beast King, the Spirit Beasts near the Beast King will immediately gather around it. If the Beast King cannot be dealt with quickly at this moment, it will no longer be a simple matter of guarding.

Instead, a Spirit Realm Beast Tide will erupt directly, with all the Spirit Beasts in the Spirit Realm gathering around the Beast King.

Undoubtedly, the mortality rate for Spirit Realm exploration team missions is terrifyingly high; every time one returns alive, it feels like a stroke of heaven-sent luck.

"Alright, perk up. If you're really afraid of death, then work hard to cultivate your Mental Energy and break through to the Fifth Order of Mental Energy; then you won't have to deal with Primary Spirit Realm matters anymore."

After offering a few words of comfort, the team was lifted up by the white Flood Dragon in the sky and followed the Black Wind Ghost Eagle toward the direction of the Spirit Realm.

Soon, a notice was sent to the mobile phones of all Chang City residents.

[Chang City Official: A Spirit Realm has appeared outside the East City Gate; personnel have been dispatched to handle it. Avoid heading to the East City Gate when leaving the city for the wilderness.]

Inside the Chang City Breeder Association, Bai Muxue, who was taking a break after preparing a breeding solution for a customer, saw this message, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

"The East City Gate, did A-Ding leave the city? If A-Ding also left the city, given Dahei's strength, it's highly likely he went to the East City Gate..."

Thinking of this, Bai Muxue's heart gave an inexplicable jolt, and panic inexplicably appeared on her face. She immediately stood up, picked up the Spirit Fox, and rushed home. Every step she took felt like it was stepping on her heart, and her inner worry grew heavier with every step.

She wanted to go home now, wanted to be at home, and see that person.

One hour later, at Qin Ding's home.

Bai Muxue was panting heavily, holding the note Qin Ding had left when he departed.

[I'm heading to the wilderness from the East City Gate; I'll be back in two or three days.]

Even though she was panting, looking at the handwriting, Bai Muxue only felt a terrifying chill, a cold shiver rushing from her heels to the top of her head.

The note was crumpled by her fingertips, which were white from the force; looking at the handwriting made Bai Muxue lose her voice.

Her eyes turned red; the terrified premonition in her heart was amplified infinitely at this moment.

Six years ago, she lost her father, lost Uncle Qin and Aunt Shen; now, she only had her mother and Qin Ding. How could Heaven play such a joke?

Was it going to take another one away from her side now?

In the same way?

"A spatial rift won't appear around you, right?"

The Spirit Fox didn't understand much about Spirit Realms and spatial rifts, but Bai Muxue had told it about her past with him, and it could also feel the constantly intensifying panic in its Master's heart.

And that extreme sense of unease.

But now, listening to the sound of the note being crumpled, the Spirit Fox, being of the Spirit attribute, actually didn't know how to comfort its Master at this moment and could only gently rub against Bai Muxue.

"Ying."

[A-Xue, Qin Ding definitely won't have any trouble. Not to mention how powerful the big black dog is, it's hard to say if it's really such a coincidence.]

Bai Muxue didn't respond to the Spirit Fox; she just stood there blankly. After a good while, she finally snapped back to reality, quickly took out her phone, and stared at the text message sent by the authorities.

"Right, right, you're right, Little White."

Although she said this, the redness in her eyes didn't fade in the slightest; it was just that the worry, panic, and pain in her heart had turned into something more firm and certain.
