245: Chapter 245 The Journey to the Mountain Peak Ends

Nuclear Weapons!!!

This name caused the bodies of Ye Yang, Little White Fox Ah Li, Panda Xiong Er, and Monkey King Wukong—who were all familiar with human culture—to tremble violently. Their pupils shrank, and a violent tremor unconsciously shook the depths of their eyes.

Because they knew that Nuclear Weapons were the top-tier weapons of modern humanity, with earth-shaking power. Wiping them out, or rather, everything in the world, would be easy!

"Chirp chirp... You humans actually used Nuclear Weapons in the ocean? Won't nuclear radiation pollute a vast area of the environment?"

Little White Fox Ah Li's petite body floated back into the air as she asked Leader Li Guoli, her soft, sweet voice carrying a hint of shock and lingering fear.

Leader Li Guoli narrowed his eyes, a light flashing through them. The subtle reactions of Ye Yang and the others fell into his gaze, giving him a piece of information: these powerful creatures understood the significance of Nuclear Weapons.

He answered.

"It was a last resort. We couldn't just watch a city be destroyed. The situation was urgent, and there was no time to react. Only Nuclear Weapons could change the fate of the city being wiped out by the flood and tsunami."

"The crystal inside this box is what we found at the center of the explosion in the deep sea area."

Ye Yang's golden pupils narrowed, and his sharp voice rang out.

"How big was the marine creature that triggered the tsunami to submerge the coastal cities? What evolution level was it? And what was its purpose in triggering the tsunami?"

Facing Ye Yang's string of questions, Leader Li Guoli shook his head.

"We aren't very clear on these matters... In the depths of the ocean where the Nuclear Weapon exploded, we only found this and some biological flesh samples, but we cannot be certain if these flesh tissues came from that creature."

Ye Yang looked down at the tiny human before him. He felt that this person was not lying to him, nor did the Great Xia officials have any reason to do so.

After all, the Great Xia officials were more eager to learn more information about Evolved Creatures from him.

Leader Li Guoli paused for a moment, looking at the milky-white sphere inside the white box in his hand, and continued.

"Although our researchers haven't figured out the properties of this crystal, we know it must have a massive effect on you Evolved Creatures..."

"Roar..."

"Moo..."

At this moment, several low beastly roars echoed across the mountain top.

All the wild beasts on the mountain top, except for Ye Yang and Little White Fox Ah Li, now had massive eyes filled with red light. They stared greedily at the milky-white sphere in Leader Li Guoli's palm, their steps unconsciously drawing closer.

This caused the faces of several Jianghai City leaders to turn deathly pale.

Thump!

Suddenly, their hearts felt as if they had been heavily struck by something, jolting them back to their senses.

Ye Yang scanned the few beasts that had calmed down before withdrawing his aura.

Then, he nodded to Leader Li Guoli and his group. "I agree to your human request. This spherical crystal is indeed very attractive to me."

"Good."

Leader Li Guoli and the group of Jianghai City leaders breathed a massive sigh of relief.

A leader from the Research Department saw the remaining flesh of the Black Flood Dragon nearby and couldn't help but speak up cautiously.

"Lord Divine Phoenix, could you grant us some of the flesh of this dragon-like creature..."

"Hmm... alright."

Ye Yang was very excited at this moment because he felt that this milky-white sphere was a rare treasure, many levels more precious than the flesh of the Black Flood Dragon.

Following the signal in his eyes, Monkey King Wukong understood and went to take a portion of the Black Flood Dragon's flesh to give to these people.

As the Jianghai City group and Leader Li Guoli boarded the helicopter to leave, Ye Yang, who was in a great mood, generously gave these people who had brought him a treasure a piece of non-essential information.

"The true identity of this dragon-like creature is a Mixed-blood Flood Dragon."

The familiar cold and sharp voice rang in the ears of the people on the helicopter, leaving them stunned.

"Mixed-blood Flood Dragon?! What does that mean?"

"Could it be that such a terrifying creature isn't even a true dragon?"

"Then how powerful must the dragons in mythology be..."

They knew this information was an extra gain. Ye Yang, this powerful giant bird creature, definitely knew more information, but he would not answer their doubts. They could only leave with many questions and shocks.

...

It wasn't until the helicopter had flown dozens of kilometers away that their racing hearts finally settled down.

A Jianghai City leader said with lingering fear.

"Ancient Divine Phoenix... if I didn't know how dangerous he was, I would have really wanted to let out a sigh of admiration at the peak of Divine Phoenix Mountain. I truly didn't expect there to be such a beautiful and handsome red bird in this world."

"By the way, is the Ancient Divine Phoenix male or female?"

"Cough cough... Old Li, now is not the time to talk about that."

The slightly oppressive atmosphere inside the helicopter eased.

Dragon City Leader Li Guoli took a few deep breaths and looked at Mayor Lin with a look of pity.

"I now know why you've lost so much hair, Old Lin. This creature you call the Ancient Divine Phoenix... is simply the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of everyone in Jianghai City!"

Recalling the ten-minute experience on the mountain top, every detail surfaced in his mind.

His gaze was as heavy as a pool of black water.

He had only seen detailed information about the giant bird creature Ye Yang in the Great Xia Dragon City intelligence department. Although he had prepared himself sufficiently before coming, facing that fiery red, handsome giant bird up close still gave him a sense of smallness and despair.

Although there was a panda the size of a small hill and a Golden Ape on the mountain top, his intuition told him that the red giant bird standing still contained earth-shaking energy within its body.

"Sigh..."

Mayor Lin could only sigh silently and then asked Leader Li Guoli.

"Old Li, did your 'Fiery Eyes' see anything?"

Leader Li Guoli had come from a reconnaissance unit; he could definitely detect information that ordinary people wouldn't notice up close.

Leader Li Guoli nodded. He had indeed seen some information that was not recorded in the intelligence reports.

"The Ancient Divine Phoenix gives me a very terrifying feeling... at the same time, he also gives me the feeling of facing a human..."

"Impossible?!"

"A person?! Are you joking, Leader? Why did I only feel fear?!"

"This must be a joke..."

Facing the doubts of the many Jianghai City leaders in the helicopter, Leader Li Guoli did not explain further, because even he found the statement absurd.

How could the Ancient Divine Phoenix be a person?

Besides, this was just a thought that had suddenly popped into his mind, without any supporting evidence.

"Regardless, our mission was achieved this time. As long as the Ancient Divine Phoenix shows clear goodwill, the situation in Jianghai City and even Great Xia will be much better."

"We need to quickly formulate a suitable plan..."

Mayor Lin gazed out at the blue sky from the helicopter, a gentle breeze blowing through the thick white cotton-like clouds in the distance.

Does this blue sky and earth still belong to us humans...

"By the way, did that matter in the coastal city really happen?"

...
