"The one in the middle."
Qin Hu crouched on the ground and observed it for a long time before he said, "There are faint traces of blood and wolf fur here. They lead to the crack in the middle, and there are rays of red light rushing out. It must lead to the Red Radiance Jade mine."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He touched the three cracks for a while before he shook his head and said, "No, it's the one on the left. Mr. Hu, take a look."
Under his guidance, Qin Hu saw a string of small spikes protruding from the ground in front of the crack on the left. They formed an arrow that pointed into the depths of the crack.
The spikes were no longer than five millimeters.
Since they were covered by subsurface plasma, if they did not get close and observe carefully, they would not be able to see them.
'The White Spirit used the wolf fur and blood to set up a diversion, but Lu Siya secretly controlled the stones to leave a mark. She knows that I'm a harvester and an Ultimate Style elite, so my senses are much sharper than a normal person's. I'll definitely notice the spikes.'
Meng Chao sighed in his heart. Lu Siya was truly a ruthless person. In his previous life, she would have definitely fought against the White Spirit until the very last moment.
However, at that time, he was not around, and Qin Hu had fled. She was alone and helpless, which was why she could not stop the White Spirit's scheme.
This time, the White Spirit had underestimated humans' intelligence and willpower. She would definitely suffer!
The two of them held their breaths and crawled into the crack on the left.
The crack was filled with twists and turns, and there were quite a number of forks in it.
Fortunately, they could feel the fine protrusions Lu Siya had left on the stone wall every time, and they guided them in the right direction.
Twice, Meng Chao even touched two intersecting rows of spikes, which looked like a sign that said "No Entry".
They carefully searched forward and found the warning system Lin Chuan had left behind. If they were the slightest bit careless, they would trigger the alarm.
With Lu Siya as the mole, Meng Chao and Qin Hu managed to avoid the warning system.
As they moved forward, they basically did not need Lu Siya to guide them anymore.
The crack became wider, and the spirit energy ripples grew stronger. Gradually, a blood-red hue appeared, and it dyed everything around them red.
Their breathing became chaotic, their blood boiled, and their ears buzzed. Lightning flashed before their eyes, and their uncontrollable brain waves stirred up a storm in their heads.
"The spirit energy magnetic field interference here is really strong! We're so close to the Red Radiance Jade mine!"
Qin Hu gritted his teeth. Sticky blood gushed out of his seven orifices. He gasped for breath and said, "Risking your life in this damned place can indeed shorten the gap between realms to the greatest extent."
The red light ahead was like a volcanic eruption. At the end of the crack, they could vaguely see a huge cave.
Meng Chao touched the cross mark Lu Siya had left on the rock again.
He leaned against the rock, placed the grenade launcher within reach, and used the hose periscope to investigate the situation in the cave.
As the periscope rose, his breathing stopped.
He saw a crystal clear blood-colored palace.
Countless huge red crystals grew in clusters and filled the entire cavern.
They shone with a faint fluorescent light, and there were more than ten thousand shades of red that Meng Chao had never seen before. They fought against each other for their beauty, and they grew in number. They looked like living volcanoes, but they also looked like the entrance to a bloody hell in the depths of hell.
At the center of the cavern was the brightest and most dazzling red crystal cluster. It was like an aquatic dragon baring its fangs and claws. It lay dormant underground, but it had its mouth wide open and was spewing out red spirit energy endlessly, causing the entire cavern to be submerged in a sea of blood.
"We finally found the Red Radiance Jade mine!"
Lin Chuan's laughter came from the depths of the sea of blood. He was so happy that he was crying. "Siya, do you see this? This is Dragon City's future! This is the children's hope! With so many cultivation resources, I will definitely reach Deity Realm and change Dragon City! I will let all the children compete fairly under the sun and grow up equally! "
Lu Siya's face was expressionless, but her eyes sparkled slightly.
The White Spirit stared at Lin Chuan and wagged its tail a little. It seemed to be very happy for him.
Lin Chuan had his wish fulfilled, and he was delighted. He repeatedly said things like "save Dragon City and treat everyone the same", but his movements were a little stiff. He brought out a large number of crystal bombs from his bag and piled them on the brightest Red Radiance Jade mine. Then, he brought out explosive tools and tried to dig holes in the depths of the Red Radiance Jade mine.
"Lin Chuan …"
Lu Siya cast a discreet glance at the exit of the mine. Suddenly, she put on an expression as if she had just snapped out of her daze and mumbled, "Why are we bringing out so many crystal bombs? We can't just use explosives to mine the Red Radiance Jades!"
"We have to save Dragon City and bring hope to all the children."
Lin Chuan did not answer her question directly. His expression was zealous, and he spoke as if he was speaking in a tongue twister. "Only when I become a Deity Realm elite can I change Dragon City's future, and only this Red Radiance Jade mine can help me become a Deity Realm elite …"
It was as if he did not see the explosive tools and crystal bombs in his hands. In his eyes, he only saw the beautiful and bright future in which everyone was equal regardless of whether they were rich or poor.
But the White Spirit became wary. It straightened its three tails and jumped in front of Lu Siya.
"Wake up, Lin Chuan!"
Lu Siya tore off her disguise and took half a step back. She screamed. "Look at the crystal bombs and explosive tools in your hands! Look at what you're doing! This monster has never thought about developing the Red Radiance Jade mine! It just wants to blow this place up! "
The White Spirit bared its teeth, and its expression instantly turned incredibly savage. It turned into a white bolt of lightning and went to bite Lu Siya's neck.
Meng Chao picked up the grenade launcher and was about to fire.
Lin Chuan's face turned pale with fright. He pounced on it first.
Blood bloomed on his shoulder again. He had blocked the White Spirit's fatal blow for Lu Siya.
Lu Siya and the White Spirit screamed at the same time.
But Lin Chuan did not care about the torn skin on his shoulder. He looked at the two sides in a conflicted and puzzled manner, as if he was struggling in the deepest nightmare. His consciousness gradually rose to the surface. "Siya, Whitey …"
The White Spirit wanted to jump again.
Lin Chuan instinctively stood between it and Lu Siya and shouted, "Whitey, what are you doing? We agreed that we won't hurt Siya. We still need her to develop the Red Radiance Jade mine!"
"Don't be stupid, Lin Chuan. Even now, don't you understand? You treat this monster as one of your own, but it only treats you as a tool!"
Lu Siya laughed coldly and spoke like a machine gun. "While I was being held hostage, I've been racking my brains to think about its true goal. Saying that the three parties will work together to develop the Red Radiance Jade mine can only deceive amateurs like you who don't have any experience in mining large mines. There are too many procedures and stakeholders involved in this. The development time is too long, and there are too many variables!
"Even if I get the right to mine first, I can't just rely on myself and my father's strength. There will definitely be more experts from the Lu family who will come here.
"Also, Shen Yulong's entire army died, so Universe Corporation will definitely not let the matter rest. To resolve the conflict between us, we might even have Universe Corporation join us.
"Right now, the Survival Committee is getting more and more displeased with Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation monopolizing the crystal mining industry. They're supporting the rise of small and medium-sized mining companies.
"There are so many experts and powerful fighters going underground to develop the Red Radiance Jade mine together. As long as one of them discovers an opening, we're done for!
"This monster knew this a long time ago. That's why it didn't want to develop the mine slowly. Instead, it planned to blow this place up right from the start.
"The Red Radiance Jade mine contains a lot of spirit energy, which is why it's one of the most unstable supreme-grade crystals. Once a suitable spot in the main mine is filled with explosives, it explodes violently, and there's a high possibility that it will trigger an avalanche-like chain reaction. The ancient divine power that has been accumulated in the Red Radiance Jade mine for billions of years will instantly surge out.
"Energy that is one hundred times more violent than a volcano eruption will form a spirit energy tsunami that can destroy the world. All living beings will be dragged into it, and even Deity Realm elites and Apocalyptic Beasts will not be able to use the spirit energy tsunami to cultivate. They will only go through spirit energy deviation and go berserk. In fact, they might even explode and die!
"Lin Chuan, I still don't understand why the White Spirit is doing this, but my guess is definitely correct. Please, open your eyes and look at the crystal bombs and explosive tools in your hands!"
Lin Chuan's eyes started tearing inch by inch.
He stared at the explosives and explosive tools piled up on the Red Radiance Jade mine in disbelief. His expression was filled with pain, as if his beautiful dream had been shattered. He mumbled, "Whitey, just what are we doing? Just what are we —"
The White Spirit's three tails swayed swiftly.
It used its mind control technique again.
Lin Chuan's expression suddenly changed, as if he was a completely different person.
It was strange, smug, and inhuman ruthlessness.
"That's right. Working together to develop the Red Radiance Jade mine is too slow. The longer we delay, the more trouble we'll have. There are many uncontrollable variables, so we won't succeed.
"Right now, the humans' Deity Realm superhumans and the monsters' Apocalyptic Beasts are fighting in Raging Waves above us. They've been fighting against each other for a few months, and countless low-grade superhumans and normal monsters have died, but they're completely unharmed.
"Then let's blow up the Red Radiance Jade mine and add fuel to the fire!
"As long as we blow up the Red Radiance Jade mine, the ancient divine power that has been accumulating for billions of years will instantly erupt, and we'll be able to create a spirit energy magnetic field that is ten times stronger than before. All the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts in Raging Waves will go through spirit energy deviation. They'll go berserk, and both sides will be heavily injured.
"And the extreme weather will become ten times stronger than before. At that time, Raging Waves, Graveyard Forest, and Shattered Starlake will be filled with storms, fog, and space-time rifts. The low-grade superhumans and the Red Dragon Army will have to return in disappointment, and Dragon City won't be able to develop this place for at least ten years.
"This place will turn into our paradise!
"We can eat the corpses of the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts and continue becoming stronger like before!
"Without the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts, we'll be at the top of the food chain in this chaotic region!
"When the environment stabilizes, we'll have invincible power and will no longer be enslaved by the abnormal races. We'll be able to carry out our will and create a brilliant and beautiful new world for our kind!"
