243: Chapter 243 The Mysterious White Box

Jianghai City General Office, Meeting Room.

Hearing that the high-ranking leader from the Dragon City Headquarters had come to help Jianghai City resolve its current predicament, hope welled up in the eyes of all the Jianghai City officials who had stood up!

Leader Li Guoli walked to the center of the meeting room, calmly facing the hopeful gazes of the many officials present.

"I know the people of Jianghai City are currently filled with anxiety and unease. It's not just Jianghai City; every city in the Great Xia Kingdom has been shaken by that dragon-like creature..."

"The most suitable solution to our current predicament lies with that giant avian creature you in Jianghai City call the Ancient Divine Phoenix."

"This..."

"Could it be..."

"Do you mean to have the Ancient Divine Phoenix step forward to stabilize the morale in Jianghai City?"

Leader Li Guoli nodded. "Yes, or more accurately, to stabilize the overall situation of our Great Xia Kingdom."

"After all, the dragon-like creature that shook Great Xia was killed by the Ancient Divine Phoenix. If this powerful giant bird shows a friendly attitude, the situation in our Great Xia Kingdom will improve significantly."

Someone interrupted, "Respected leader, we've considered this plan before. It's a good one, but we don't have any bargaining chips to move the Ancient Divine Phoenix."

"That Ancient Divine Phoenix is very knowledgeable about human culture, and its intelligence is even sharper than a human's..."

"I'm aware of all this," Leader Li Guoli said calmly. "The Great Xia Headquarters Intelligence Department has all of this on record."

"However, this time, the Ancient Divine Phoenix will definitely agree to our request, because..."

After saying that, he pulled a sophisticated white box from his pocket.

He said confidently, "I believe no Evolved Creature can refuse what is inside this box."

...

The summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain.

The Black Flood Dragon barbecue feast was still underway when suddenly, a light flashed deep within the golden pupils of the handsome, fiery-red giant bird standing atop the summit!

"Something is approaching!"

Ye Yang gazed into the distance and saw a helicopter wobbling as it rapidly approached from a corner of the sky.

"Humans... I wonder what their purpose is."

His gaze returned to normal; he had thought some other bird had appeared in his airspace.

Come to think of it, since his evolution level had been rapidly increasing, only the Red Sparrow hatched from the Source Stone had appeared in his territory's sky; no other flying animals had shown up.

"By the way, that Red Sparrow vanished from the ground in my territory. Where did it end up?"

"Forget it, no need to dwell on such a small matter..."

Ten minutes quickly passed, and the helicopter hovered over Divine Phoenix Mountain before slowly landing on its summit.

The violent roar of the helicopter's rotors caught the attention of all the creatures on the summit.

Little White Fox Ah Li, Panda Xiong Er, and Monkey King Wukong had seen helicopters before and were accustomed to the arrival of humans, so they didn't move.

But the other wild beasts didn't think that way.

In their eyes, this strangely shaped "bird creature" emitted no aura, yet it dared to step into the red giant bird's territory.

It was simply seeking death!

They could compete to show off in front of the red giant bird...

Mayor Lin of Jianghai City and the leader from Dragon City looked out from the helicopter to survey the surroundings of the summit.

"The white mist on the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain is a manifestation of concentrated spiritual energy..."

Mayor Lin exclaimed in surprise, "The spiritual white mist on the summit seems much thicker than before."

The Dragon City leader, Li Guoli, looked out of the helicopter. The spiritual mist didn't obscure close-range vision, and when he saw the many creatures with powerful auras filling the summit, he gasped in shock.

"How can there be so many powerful beasts on the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain?!"

"It seems the intelligence gathered by our Dragon City headquarters about Divine Phoenix Mountain isn't very accurate..."

He whispered to himself...

Then, amidst the many beasts, he spotted a fiery-red figure, and his eyes lit up.

Several Jianghai City officials stepped down from the helicopter and walked straight toward that fiery-red figure.

"Roar!!!"

"Moo!!!"

"Ang..."

Several excited and powerful roars echoed as several figures flashed. A large green wolf, a moose with muscles like stacked boulders, a white rhinoceros emitting a metallic luster, and a grim white tiger with two fangs exposed to the air had already surrounded the group.

With bloodthirsty glints in their eyes, they paced closer...

"What's going on?"

"Wasn't Divine Phoenix Mountain supposed to be safe?"

The Jianghai City officials were dumbfounded and panicked. They had never expected this situation. Their people had come here several times before without incident—why were they suddenly facing an attack this time?!

Just when they thought they were doomed, Monkey King Wukong flashed in front of them and drove away the surrounding beasts. They breathed a sigh of relief, drenched in sweat and looking quite disheveled.

"Old Lin, could this Ancient Divine Phoenix be trying to intimidate us?"

Li Guoli whispered quietly.

Mayor Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Maybe... I don't know the current situation either."

Not far away, Ye Yang's pupils narrowed in surprise. He hadn't expected them to misunderstand, but he didn't plan on explaining.

The group successfully reached Ye Yang, and only then did they clearly see the scenery on the summit.

Ethereal spiritual white mist drifted about, shrouding the area. A strange tree over a hundred meters tall, exuding an ancient and primitive aura, stood tall. Not far away was a bamboo forest that looked like white jade. If one ignored the surrounding pack of powerful beasts, the scenery could truly be described as a paradise on earth.

"Hiss... My god, these beasts are barbecuing the flesh of the Black Flood Dragon!"

Seeing the flesh sizzling over the deep red flames and the skeleton of the Black Flood Dragon nearby, the Jianghai City officials couldn't help but cry out in shock!

Samples of the Black Flood Dragon were of immense scientific value to Jianghai City, the entire Great Xia, and even the Blue Planet. The samples Jianghai City had collected for research were far from enough; every biological experiment had to be conducted with extreme caution to ensure not a single drop of blood or tiny sample was wasted.

They never expected... to see the flesh of the Black Flood Dragon being consumed continuously on the summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain...

It was simply a reckless waste of natural resources!

Mayor Lin didn't dally. The officials didn't want to stay a second longer on the summit filled with powerful beasts, so they quickly informed Ye Yang of their conditions and the situation.

"You want me to show a friendly attitude... toward Jianghai City and the Great Xia Kingdom?!"

His golden pupils flashed!

He knew a bit about the chaotic situation in Jianghai City and Great Xia caused by the flood dragon from Little White Fox Ah Li's phone.

Although their request was simple and effortless for Ye Yang, it depended on whether they could offer terms that would move him.

Li Guoli reached out, and a sealed white box appeared in Ye Yang's view...

Ye Yang's golden pupils suddenly constricted!

"What... is this?!"
