184: Chapter 184 Demon Stone

The incident that occurred in Longji City naturally drew the attention of the Longji City authorities, and even the leadership of every city across the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

A few days later, after an investigation by Longji City, the origin of the Dark Red Bat was finally determined.

"I never expected that the monster bat actually came out of a jade primordial stone from Myanmar..."

"That's impossible. I've only heard that there's a very small chance that the bodies of Ancient Creatures are preserved in amber, but there shouldn't be living things sealed inside primordial stones..."

"What on earth is going on?"

"Does this count as an invasive species from abroad?"

"Have you lost your mind? Are invasive species as terrifying as this monster? I even thought this was an extraterrestrial creature!"

"Could it be because of the spiritual energy in the air? Testing showed that the concentration of spiritual energy inside the room of that stone-cutting shop was extremely high."

"It must be because of the spiritual energy. Ever since spiritual energy appeared on Blue Star, strange occurrences have become more and more frequent..."

"Fortunately, this time we thought to use the projection of the Ancient Creature on the outskirts of Jianghai City to scare off that Dark Red Bat, otherwise, Longji City would definitely have suffered a massive upheaval!"

"From this incident, we can also see that the Ancient Creature in Jianghai City has a very high evolution level, at least much stronger than the Dark Red Bat; otherwise, it wouldn't have fled without hesitation just from a projection."

"Indeed, the evolution level is at least 'D+' or higher."

"I suddenly remembered that a few months ago, Mayor Lin of Jianghai City said he wanted that Ancient Creature to become a barrier for Jianghai City and suppress the beasts in the Qinling Mountains..."

"Now it seems that this idea is very likely to actually come true..."

"I wonder where we could find a powerful creature as well-behaved as the Ancient Creature of Jianghai City."

Subsequently, Longji City issued many directives.

The most important one among them was that all jade primordial stones in the city were to be collected and destroyed. Mining jade primordial stone mines or purchasing jade primordial stones from abroad was prohibited, and this law was even classified by Longji City as a felony on par with smuggling and drug trafficking.

Other cities in the Great Xia Kingdom also issued similar directives one after another.

In an instant, jade primordial stones almost vanished without a trace within the Great Xia Kingdom.

Even if there were some people who were reluctant to destroy them due to the massive value brought by jade primordial stones, they would be reported by relatives and friends; after all, no one wanted man-eating monsters appearing in their city.

What was somewhat unexpected was that despite the jade market suffering such a huge upheaval, the market value of jade actually skyrocketed by more than tenfold.

There were many reasons for the rise in jade value: the long-standing jade culture of the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, the principle that scarcity increases value...

More importantly, some jade really could enhance the effects of spiritual energy cultivation!

...

Cities across the Great Xia Kingdom issued bans one after another.

For a time, many people within the Great Xia Kingdom felt panic in their hearts, as if some major event was about to occur.

At the same time.

Abroad, similar situations to that of Longji City were occurring.

In Lighthouse Country, at a medium-sized mine, inside a gold mine tunnel.

Someone extracted a huge gold primordial stone from it, but when they transported it to the smelter to be smelted, a snow-white fawn unexpectedly popped out from the gold primordial stone, looking delicate and cute.

But soon they did not think so anymore; the hundreds of people in the entire mining field had their essence and blood sucked dry by this cute, delicate white deer, becoming mummified corpses.

Other countries on Blue Star also discovered that these primordial stones, buried deep underground for millions of years, actually contained demons; they all ordered a ban on mining work and sealed off all mines.

Some people had doubts in their hearts.

Why was it that before spiritual energy appeared, not a single monster from these primordial stones had ever been discovered?

Now, those monsters from the primordial stones were popping up from every corner of Blue Star like bamboo shoots after a spring rain?

As for this answer, humans on Blue Star soon had someone to provide it.

Geologists on Blue Star, as usual, after obtaining data wirelessly transmitted from all over Blue Star, were surprised to discover something.

Their Blue Star was gradually getting bigger!

And the entire planet was getting bigger, somewhat like an expansion before an explosion!

This immediately terrified them, but after obtaining data from a period of core experiments, they found that all the data was as stable as usual; no, to be accurate, after the appearance of spiritual energy, the planet Blue Star was developing in a better direction, both in terms of ecology and itself.

They reached a shocking conclusion!

That was, the entire sphere of Blue Star was rapidly expanding, and its size was increasing!

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for humanity at present, it is not yet known...

However, the truth about the primordial stones containing demon creatures had been uncovered.

Those special primordial stones were all in the deeper parts of the Blue Star sphere; the appearance of spiritual energy caused violent movement in the depths of the Blue Star sphere, which is why these special primordial stones were sent by repulsive force to the ground near the surface.

This information was released by the geological scientists.

Most of the more than four billion humans on Blue Star were somewhat shocked by this news.

They didn't expect that the Blue Star beneath their feet would actually expand in size, just like knowing that the body of a centenarian could still grow...

There were also people who felt pessimistic.

"The primordial stones containing demons must have been sent to the surface by Blue Star Gaia because it wants to purge us humans... We humans are all sinners and can only return to the embrace of the Lord to atone for our sins as believers..."

This viewpoint was highly regarded in the West, where religious belief prevailed.

Because even though various countries had issued bans on mining demon primordial stones, some creatures that they had never seen before still appeared, attacking their human cities and causing great casualties.

After all, even if humans did not mine the ores, the creatures within the primordial stones would hatch on their own, it was just that the geographical location of their appearance was not their city locations.

...

"demon primordial stone?"

On the summit of the towering Divine Phoenix Mountain, a giant bird with brilliant fiery red colors and long tail feathers stood majestically.

Ye Yang's heroic and spirited phoenix eyes looked at the mobile phone screen held by Little White Fox Ah Li's small paws, murmuring to himself.

"I was just speaking casually last time; I didn't expect that in less than half a month, so many primordial stones containing creatures would appear on Blue Star..."

To humans, these were primordial stones containing demons, but to him, they were just stones hiding creatures.

He had been staying on the summit for the past half month. He noticed from Little White Fox Ah Li's mobile phone that many of these strange creatures had appeared on Blue Star in the last half month, and they must have all hatched from demon primordial stones.

"Most of these creatures are 'D-', but after feeding on other creatures, their evolution speed is very fast..."

"And they are appearing from the depths of the Blue Star sphere... Could it be that the core of Blue Star is actually empty?!"
