The lights around the area dimmed.
Only the distribution and direction of the underground mine on the screen became clearer.
The colorful and dazzling crystal mine was a treasure that was worth cities. Anyone who discovered a new mine would become rich overnight and obtain an astronomical amount of cultivation resources.
"Everyone knows that the main goal of the northern offense is to explore and mine the endless mines hidden underground from Shattered Starlake to Raging Waves," Lu Siya said.
"Over the past decade or so, Sky Pillar Corporation and the other mining companies in Dragon City have sent hundreds of mine exploration teams and found dozens of mines with astonishing amounts of crystals and rare metals. If we mine all of them, it'll be enough to push Dragon City's technology, industry, and military power to a brand new level.
"But nature's gifts are incredibly generous. There are still hidden treasures that no one knows about in the depths of the land under our feet. They're just waiting for those with foresight, courage, and intelligence to pick them up.
"Our clues will start from the Blood Flowers."
She tapped the tablet softly, and a Blood Flower settlement appeared on the screen. It looked like red mold that had contaminated a large area of land.
"Everyone, you've heard that a lot of Blood Flower parasites have appeared in the northern offense recently, right? This sort of fungus-like parasite is really difficult to deal with.
"But Blood Flowers wouldn't have evolved from Blood Grass for no reason. Over the past few years, we've been exploring Shattered Starlake and Graveyard Forest, but we've never found any traces of Blood Flowers. Why did the Blood Grass in the wild suddenly mutate into Blood Flowers when the northern offense was at its peak?
"Sky Pillar Corporation's biochemical lab obtained some Blood Flower bacterial flora and conducted research on them. In the end, they analyzed a small amount of Red Radiance Jades. This is it."
Lu Siya took off her earrings.
She gently peeled off the thin metal membrane on the earrings.
There was a blood-red diamond-like crystal inside.
Even though it was only the size of a grain of rice, its blood-red light immediately filled the entire area like a flood. It attracted everyone's gazes and even stole their souls.
The crystal was too beautiful.
Even Meng Chao gulped.
The Red Radiance Jades contained the richest spirit energy among the hundreds of crystals Dragon Citizens had discovered up to this point. They were also the most suitable for carbon-based lifeforms to absorb and promote the evolution and mutation of carbon-based lifeforms. They were known as the kings of crystals.
If they were of the same grade, the value of Red Radiance Jades was ten times or dozens of times higher than the Blue Lightning Stones, Lightning Crystals, Iron Dolomites, and other crystals commonly used by superhumans to cultivate.
Forget about an entire piece of Red Radiance Jade, even a pinch of Red Radiance Jade powder could turn a normal medicine into a miracle medicine when it was mixed into a gene medicine.
"Red Radiance Jades can stimulate fungus-like parasites to evolve and mutate. The Blood Grass should have been affected by the Red Radiance Jades and evolved into Blood Flowers. We've already discovered more than one hundred Blood Flower parasites from Shattered Starlake to Graveyard Forest. There's a lot of them, and they're scattered all over the place. This means that there must be a Red Radiance Jade mine with an astonishing amount of Red Radiance Jades underground!"
Lu Siya smiled faintly and continued. "Here's the problem. If this Red Radiance Jade mine has been hidden underground since a long time ago, why weren't the Blood Grass affected and mutated into Blood Flowers?
"My thoughts are that this Red Radiance Jade mine has always been hidden underground. It's surrounded and isolated by thick rock layers. It can't be used directly by Blood Grass or other monsters, and neither has it been discovered by human mine exploration teams.
"But due to the fierce fight between humans and monsters during the northern offense, especially the fight between Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts in Raging Waves, their vitality magnetic fields clashed violently against each other, and it stirred up a resonance in the underground crystal mine, which led to a series of chain reactions.
"As we all know, crystals are special materials that contain powerful spiritual energy. Because of that, they are very unstable. When crystals release spiritual energy, they are often accompanied by abnormal changes in the world, such as lightning flashes, thunder roars, torrential rains, and even earthquakes.
"The storm a month ago, the fog that's still wreaking havoc right now, and the powerful spirit energy magnetic field interference are the best evidence.
"Then, when the underground spirit energy ley line surged and created a rampaging magnetic field, which led to all sorts of extreme weather changes, it also tore apart the rock layers and changed the geological structure, which caused the Red Radiance Jade mine hidden underground to be pushed to a spot close to the surface and exposed to the air, right?
"Otherwise, how could Blood Grass come into contact with Red Radiance Jades and evolve into Blood Flowers if they don't have roots and drilling abilities?
"Now, please close your eyes and think about it. Just what does this guess mean for us?"
Lu Siya's voice seemed to contain a mysterious power.
The men and women in camouflage suits with fierce presences closed their eyes obediently. Greed and longing appeared on their faces.
"That's right. It's a Red Radiance Jade mine with an astonishing amount of resources, and the difficulty of mining it is incredibly low. We might even be able to pick it up easily!"
Lu Siya snapped her fingers in a clear and pleasant manner, as if she had snapped the people out of their dreams and sent them into an even more realistic dream. "Everyone, as long as we can be the first to discover this Red Radiance Jade mine, money, reputation, status, power … Everything you can think of will be at your fingertips. No matter how crazy your dreams are, you can turn them into reality without any effort. In fact, you might even have the chance to end this war ahead of time and become heroes who are the center of attention.
"This is why I gathered all of you here. Do you have any other questions?"
"Yes."
A woman with a mohawk's head was chewing gum, and she had a hot body. She wore an army green vest and had a mohawk hairstyle. "Red Radiance Jades are worth cities. We might not be the only ones who know about this. There might be a lot of mine exploration teams heading into the depths of Graveyard Forest to search for traces of the Red Radiance Jade mine. How can we ensure that we can be ahead of them?"
"That's right. There have been more than ten mine exploration teams operating in the depths of Graveyard Forest. Once they learned of the existence of the Red Radiance Jade mine, Sky Pillar Corporation sent three more mine exploration teams. There are also other mining companies … We have plenty of competitors, but compared to them, we have at least three advantages."
Lu Siya pointed at her eyes and said calmly, "First, I'm a Spirit Sensor."
Quite a number of the elites who had been recruited temporarily were stunned, and they started talking to each other excitedly.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes at the back of the crowd.
Spirit Sensors were people who were sensitive to spirit energy. They were born with great senses toward spirit energy. While they were still normal people, they could see spirit energy ripples that looked like colorful smoke floating in the air. Once they awakened to supernatural abilities, they could also observe even the slightest changes in spirit energy.
There were very few Spirit Sensors, and they made up less than one-thousandth of all superhumans. Their fighting strength might not be great, but they were very suitable for supporting occupations or academic research. They could become harvesters, ethereal plants masters, mine explorers, crystal experts, and spirit energy researchers.
With the help of a Spirit Sensor, it would be much easier for them to search for an underground mine that was exposed to the air.
"Second, I've specially invited Weeping Reaper Lin Chuan to join this operation."
Lu Siya grinned and looked at Lin Chuan. "Not only does he have the great fighting strength of a four-star superhuman, he's also been scouting, hunting, and training in Shattered Starlake, Graveyard Forest, and Raging Waves. Most of the military maps and virtual sandboxes used in the northern offense were created based on the data he provided.
"He knows this land better than anyone else. With him as our guide, we'll definitely be the first to discover the Red Radiance Jade mine!
"Third, I have all of you to help me. You're all experts in your fields that I've chosen carefully. You're even more outstanding than Sky Pillar Corporation's own team! “
Lu Siya's voice became deep, and it was filled with a power that could captivate people's hearts. Her eyes burned brightly, and she swept her gaze over everyone's faces.
"Among you are veteran hunters who have been fighting in the wild for more than ten years and have killed tens of thousands of monsters.
Her gaze fell on the face of a bearded man.
The bearded man subconsciously puffed out his chest.
"There are also elite Mechanics who have tens of thousands of blueprints in their heads and can instantly assemble thousands of guns and mechanical devices."
A short man with arms that reached his knees and ten oddly long fingers crossed his arms arrogantly.
"There are also crystal experts who have been in the circle for decades."
A middle-aged man with unkempt hair and a scarlet electronic eye embedded in his left eye socket twitched the corner of his mouth.
In an instant, everyone followed Lu Siya's logic and nodded instinctively.
Only a handful of people were still puzzled. "But will there be more Blood Flower settlements near the Red Radiance Jade mine? Will they create more parasites? Our cultivation realms aren't high. At most, we've just entered Heaven Realm. Most of us are still at the peak of Earth Realm. If there are too many Blood Flower parasites, we might not be able to handle them. "
"The possibility of that isn't high," Lu Siya explained.
"Even though the Red Radiance Jades can help carbon-based life forms evolve and mutate, the magnetic fields near the Red Radiance Jade mine are too violent and the radiation is too strong. It's not easy for carbon-based life forms to survive for a long time.
"It's just like how plants need to be watered, but if you water them too much, they will drown. Humans need fire, but if they throw themselves into flames, they will be burned alive. It's the same logic.
"As long as we can find the Red Radiance Jade mine, there won't be a lot of Blood Flower settlements around it.
"And since the Red Radiance Jade mine has just risen from the depths of the ground, the high-grade superbeasts occupying the surface shouldn't have been able to discover its existence. As for the pests underground, even if they mutate to a certain degree, they won't be that strong.
"Of course, there will definitely be risks, but you can only find riches when you take risks. All peerless fighters have fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I will go underground with everyone, so what are you worried about?"
