256: Chapter 256 A Figure in the River

Chapter 4

"The Dragon City headquarters is actually providing such massive support to our Jianghai City?! It's unbelievable..."

"Thank you, Dragon City! Thank you, the great Great Xia Kingdom!"

The political institutions of the Great Xia Kingdom are vast, with clear divisions of labor and distinct hierarchies. However, standard procedures are extremely complex. Unless it is a major emergency, the time taken from receiving a report to completing the handling of a matter is usually measured in months at the very least.

Since the Black Flood Dragon incident, the Great Xia Dragon City headquarters has elevated the importance of the Ancient Divine Phoenix, who defeated and killed the Black Flood Dragon, to a very high level. Otherwise, they would not have dispatched a highly capable leader at the mayoral level to Jianghai City to be responsible for all matters concerning the Ancient Divine Phoenix.

Seeing the excited expressions of all the leaders of Jianghai City in the conference room, Leader Li Guoli felt somewhat shocked.

He couldn't help but think to himself.

"It seems the Jianghai City officials have already gotten used to appeasing the Ancient Divine Phoenix..."

Then, that fiery red figure appeared in his mind, and he was able to understand why.

There is currently the most powerful known creature on land outside the city, and it is also an aerial bird creature. If the Jianghai City officials hadn't recorded the friendly video of the Ancient Divine Phoenix last time, the citizens of Jianghai City would likely not be able to sleep.

"Alright, let's end the discussion."

"By the way, quickly edit the recorded video of the Ancient Creature and strive to release it nationwide as soon as possible."

As Mayor Lin finished speaking, the official meeting of Jianghai City concluded.

...

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, three days went by.

Blue Star's spiritual energy is recovering, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the air is gradually increasing. The native creatures of Blue Star are constantly fighting, devouring, and evolving, while a large number of Source Stone creatures are awakening from underground. The public knows very little about this news, as countries across Blue Star have tacitly kept this secret.

However, due to the Black Flood Dragon incident, public opinion in the Great Xia Kingdom has erupted into chaos.

"I actually witnessed a divine dragon with my own eyes! I truly can't believe it..."

"This divine dragon was able to change the landscape the moment it appeared, and it is said that it wiped out an army of three thousand people in an instant!"

"Powerful..."

"Is this really an existence that we humans can defeat?!"

"It's been so long, why hasn't there been an official notification yet?!"

Believing in Dragon-like Creatures is one aspect, but more importantly, the ordinary masses feel that their own safety has been seriously threatened. They have not yet shifted away from the mentality of peace and prosperity they had a year ago.

"Look! There's an official notification!"

"And it was announced by the Great Xia Kingdom's capital, Longcheng!"

After the people of Great Xia finished reading the announcement, they began to discuss it.

"I didn't expect that the Ancient Divine Phoenix of Jianghai City is actually an enemy of that divine dragon..."

"Yeah, it seems the saying 'looks are justice' holds some truth. That black dragon looks incredibly ugly; how could it compare to the beauty of the Ancient Divine Phoenix!"

"Besides, the official announcement says that the Ancient Divine Phoenix has stated its stance: it is friendly towards us humans of Great Xia and will not attack us!"

"Is this news true or false? Didn't a report previously say that our human bodies store a large amount of spiritual energy, and that those beasts have a strong desire to attack us humans? Why wouldn't the Ancient Divine Phoenix attack us humans?"

"Are you stupid! It's called the Ancient Divine Phoenix; how could it possibly attack us humans!"

"Let me confirm it. I have a friend in Jianghai City. During our last satellite phone call, he said that the Ancient Divine Phoenix has never approached Jianghai City!"

Although the terrain of Blue Star has been rapidly expanding after the Super Red Moon, and the original magnetic fields have been cut, torn, and constantly changing, causing large-scale signal blockages.

However, by relying on some special methods, it is still possible to obtain specific information about Jianghai City after some delay.

Then, as more and more people learned that the Ancient Divine Phoenix indeed had not approached Jianghai City to harm the residents, they began to believe the announcements issued by the officials of various cities in Great Xia.

This effectively suppressed the massive public opinion triggered by the Black Flood Dragon, but there were still some people who did not believe the Great Xia official announcements, faintly sensing that the world situation was changing rapidly.

However, an interesting thing also happened.

After this comprehensive announcement issued by Great Xia, a large number of ordinary people, as well as the families of capital-owning officials, used special means to migrate towards Jianghai City. This led to a population explosion in Jianghai City, and housing prices, which changed every day, were almost catching up to the housing prices in the Great Xia Kingdom's capital, Longcheng.

...

Meanwhile.

A pitch-black fighter jet was speeding through the clouds. From the dragon pattern printed on the surface of this fighter jet, it could be known that this was a fighter jet from the Great Xia Kingdom's capital, Longcheng.

"Report! The flight path is normal, and we expect to arrive at our destination, Jianghai City, in two days!"

"Received, Dragon Eagle One, be careful!"

"Yes!"

This was precisely the fighter jet responsible for transporting supplies from Great Xia's Longcheng to Jianghai City.

After hanging up the communicator, the pilot of the dragon eagle fighter jet, Dragon Eagle One, looked at the strange, massive mountain ranges, rivers, and dense forests made of towering trees on the ground. He felt somewhat shocked; such scenes were only ever seen in dreams.

"I didn't expect the terrain of Blue Star to have changed so much..."

Boom!

A roar sounded in the sky, and he immediately looked over.

He saw a massive, cyan-colored bird rushing towards him! The massive body of the cyan giant bird was five or six times larger than the dragon eagle fighter jet!

However, he did not panic too much and continued to maintain his flight speed, moving forward.

After a while, the giant cyan bird came close, swept past the dragon eagle fighter jet, and flew behind it...

"Phew... the things developed by the Research Department are really useful!"

Now, not only are numerous beasts and Source Stone creatures rampaging on land, but the sky is also not safe.

However, as one of the top major powers on Blue Star, Great Xia possesses too many unknown scientific technologies. The reason the cyan giant bird just now did not attack the dragon eagle fighter jet was because the surface of the dragon eagle fighter jet was coated with a special substance capable of shielding biological vision and sensory abilities.

The dragon eagle fighter jet quickly crossed through the clouds, speeding towards its destination, Jianghai City. Gradually, a massive river appeared below.

The pilot of the dragon eagle fighter jet looked down at the massive river on the ground and muttered.

"I remember on the map that this medium-sized river was connected to the Yangtze River. I didn't expect it to have turned into such a massive river now..."

"It is said that the creatures in the ocean are even more rampant than those on land. I wonder if there are powerful evolved creatures in the rivers on land..."

"Hmm? What... is this?!"

The pilot's eyes widened!

In his field of vision looking down, a massive whirlpool suddenly appeared on the huge river surface below, and this whirlpool expanded rapidly, forming a water spout hundreds of meters high in the blink of an eye!

"Roar..."

A special sound wave was emitted from the depths of the river, and the dragon eagle fighter jet, thousands of meters in the air, was directly pulled, falling towards the location of the water spout...

Soon, the water surface returned to calm...
