244: Chapter 244 Mysterious Crystals! Terrifying Sea Creatures

When Leader Li Guoli took a white palm-sized sealed box out of his pocket, Ye Yang's gaze automatically focused on it.

A power of extreme temptation drew his eyes toward it.

His golden pupils constricted suddenly!

"What is... this thing?!"

Beside him, Xiong Er, Monkey King Wukong, and the other four beast creatures noticed nothing and remained quietly watching.

Only Little White Fox Ah Li's puppy-sized pink fox eyes shook; she didn't even notice her small body falling from the air and hitting the ground.

"What is... this thing... so familiar..."

Mayor Lin and the Long City Leader Li Guoli had been focusing on Ye Yang; seeing his large golden pupils shake violently, they felt a great sense of relief.

They exchanged a knowing glance.

Since the Ancient Divine Phoenix was interested in the contents of the box, half of their mission was already complete.

Mayor Lin looked at the white sealed box in Li Guoli's hand and asked curiously.

"Old Li, can you tell us what's inside that small white box now?"

Li Guoli nodded, took a deep breath, and looked up at the fiery red figure before him.

"Respected Lord Divine Phoenix, inside this box is a special crystal."

As he spoke, he opened the white box in his hand.

What came into view was a milky-white, egg-sized sphere.

"What is this..."

As soon as the milky-white sphere appeared in the air, Ye Yang's whole body throbbed, as if he had discovered something terrifying.

At the same time, a strong desire welled up from deep within his body, urging him to devour the milky-white egg-sized sphere.

Li Guoli looked up, noticed the slight change in Ye Yang, and continued to explain.

"Our Great Xia Kingdom is vast and resourceful, the most populous country on Blue Star. Not only is our land area immense, but we also have many coastal cities..."

"Cut the nonsense and get to the point."

A cold and stern voice came from Ye Yang's beak.

Normally, Ye Yang's laid-back personality would allow the person to chat for entertainment, but the milky-white sphere kept triggering the desire within him, making him irritable.

Ye Yang's cold words stunned Li Guoli; this avian creature really understood human culture well.

"Alright, Lord Divine Phoenix, I'll keep it brief."

"I wonder if Lord Divine Phoenix has noticed the characteristics of the distribution of spiritual energy; it is not distributed evenly."

Ye Yang's eyebrows twitched, thinking to himself, "Uneven spiritual energy distribution..."

He had noticed this; for example, the concentration in cities wasn't as high as in the wild. But what did this man mean? What did uneven distribution have to do with the milky-white sphere?

Seemingly seeing the doubt in Ye Yang's eyes, Li Guoli said.

"I believe the wise Lord Divine Phoenix must know that spiritual energy is unevenly distributed, but that's not what I'm trying to express..."

"I mean, the most uneven distribution of spiritual energy is between land and sea."

'Land and sea!' Hearing these words, Ye Yang's heart jumped, and his golden pupils narrowed unconsciously. He could already faintly guess what the man was about to say.

"A few months ago, the Maritime Monitoring Bureau in our coastal cities was shocked to find drastic changes in the marine ecological environment. Not only was the 'Super Red Moon' accelerating environmental changes, but spiritual energy in the air could also permeate the ocean. Compared to the concentration on the continent, the spiritual energy concentration in the ocean is much higher..."

"Due to the vast area and immense depth of the ocean, the specific value of the spiritual energy concentration contained within cannot be measured. However, a few months ago, a large number of fishermen went out to sea and never returned."

"Until now, neither small boats nor large cargo ships transporting resources can operate on the sea..."

"Because there are massive numbers of creatures rampaging and devouring in the ocean. Compared to the situation of beasts on land, the slaughter among creatures in the ocean is even more tragic and cruel. Many sea areas have been blood-red for a long time..."

Hearing his words, not only were all the beasts in Ye Yang's territory shocked, but even Mayor Lin's group from Jianghai City was somewhat surprised; even they didn't know this information.

"Chirp... But even if the fighting in the ocean is intense, it has nothing to do with you humans, right? No matter how terrifying the creatures in the ocean are, they can't threaten you humans living on land."

Li Guoli turned, and only then did he notice a Nine-Tailed Fox floating in the air!

Seeing the Little White Fox Ah Li with her nine fluffy tails floating in the air gave him a start.

Surrounded by giant beasts, everyone had naturally ignored the smaller Little White Fox Ah Li.

He was puzzled; the intelligence department hadn't recorded that this nine-tailed little fox could fly...

But he still replied.

"Our previous thoughts were the same as the Nine-Tailed Fox's, but a catastrophic tsunami and flood that occurred a month ago dispelled that notion."

Ye Yang's golden pupils flashed.

"You mean that catastrophic tsunami and flood were related to creatures in the ocean?"

Li Guoli nodded heavily. "Exactly. That flood was massive in scale, submerging most buildings on the outskirts of the city. It can no longer be defined by the levels we humans use... Because the flood and tsunami were so sudden, the death toll in that coastal city reached over three hundred thousand."

"Over three hundred thousand?!"

"My god, this can't be fake, right!"

"It's unbelievable..."

Hearing this astronomical figure, not only were the leaders of Jianghai City alarmed, but even Ye Yang and the other beasts felt shaken.

Li Guoli was not finished yet.

"After our investigation, we determined that this sudden catastrophic tsunami was caused by a creature in the ocean."

"The creature that caused the tsunami and flood didn't stop there. After a while, it intended to launch an even larger-scale tsunami and flood, one massive enough to submerge the entire coastal city..."

"The situation was urgent, involving the lives and safety of millions or even tens of millions of people, so we could only resort to unconventional means—Nuclear Weapon!"
