When the God State experts were fighting in the Raging Waves Mountains for all kinds of reasons.
In the depths of Raging Waves, Lin Chuan finished making the first explosion hole and sealed the crystal bomb.
But when he was drilling the second hole, he ran into trouble.
His arms had long become numb from the impact of the iron rod. His ten fingers felt as if they weren't his own anymore. Fresh blood flowed onto the rock, making it slippery. The angle wasn't right, and the iron rod slipped out.
Lin Chuan fumbled around for the metal rod. He tried a few more times, but it still did not work.
The rocks in this area were too hard. They had to be precise at a special angle and exert all their strength in order to create a perfect hole.
Meanwhile, he was already at the end of his rope, unable to produce even the slightest bit of strength.
The "magma" under his feet was getting brighter and brighter, to the point that even a blind man like him could see it.
He licked his chapped lips, raised the iron rod again, and fiercely struck the rock.
"Clang!" The iron rod flew out of his hand.
However, it did not fall to the ground. Instead, someone picked it up and stuffed it back into his hand.
When he turned his head around, he was stunned.
His father beamed at him.
Lin Chuan was so ashamed that he wanted to bury himself in a hole.
"Does Father know what I have done?" he thought. "Will Father blame me?"
"How many times have I told you? That's not how you drill the hole."
His father did not ask him anything about the White Spirit. He only said seriously, "Even though it's an inconspicuous basic work underground, our hard work is very important to Dragon City's future." Without us excavators digging crystals one by one, the factories won't have spirit energy, and everything will have to stop working. The superhumans won't have gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid, and they won't be able to cultivate either. Dragon City will be done for!
"So, son, don't look down on daddy's work. Us diggers are also very strong!"
"Of course, Dad."
Lin Chuan mumbled, "Diggers are very strong."
"So, learn well. Maybe you'll have to take over my class in the future!"
His father said, "You have to hold your hands like this, neither empty nor solid. You can exert force, but you won't be hurt by the impact drill or the vibration hammer. Only by holding your thumbs like this can you feel the subtle changes in the rock and find the weakest spot. Do you feel it?"
Lin Chuan nodded. "I sensed it."
"Clank."
The iron cudgel fell to the ground again.
"Look at how clumsy you are!" His father curled his lips, picked up the iron rod again, and stuffed it into his hand.
"I … I can't do it anymore," Lin Chuan said weakly. "Dad, can you do it?"
"Bah, my son, don't say no!"
His father cursed, but then he flashed his arm that was as thick as that of a gorilla and held the iron bar together with him. He said gently, "Let's treat those wretched stones as the toughest monsters and smash them all!"
Lin Chuan smiled.
Father has been a digger for decades. Isn't it easy for him to deal with this little trick?
They quickly finished drilling the second hole.
His father's face was pale. His hands, which held the metal staff, could not stop trembling. He spat in slight anger and embarrassment, but no matter what, he could not help Lin Chuan create the last and most crucial hole.
"Allow me!"
At that moment, Lin Chuan heard her father's voice.
Lin Chuan and his father watched the gentle and elegant middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes crawl in front of them. He took off his luxurious clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and grinned at them.
"What? Do you think that I only know how to stand at the top and give orders?"
Lu Siya's father said. "If you don't have some skills, how could you suppress so many wild diggers and become the boss of a mining company?"
"Manager Lu, it's you?"
His father smiled. "It's been a long time. You haven't forgotten my skills in the past, right?"
"Are you looking down on me?"
Lu Siya's father said. "Let's spar!"
The two of them held Lin Chuan's arms tightly and poured all their strength into Lin Chuan's broken but bloodthirsty body.
"Manager Lu, thank you for helping me train this boy well!" his father said.
"It's only right. You're a hero, and he will also become a hero," Lu Siya's father said.
Lin Chuan's face was covered in tears. "Dad, Uncle Lu, I …"
"Stop talking, child. Come, let's get rid of these stones together!" His father and Lu Siya's father said at the same time. They exerted strength at the same time and helped Lin Chuan create the first spark on the last stone.
In the spark, Lin Chuan saw Lu Siya and Whitey.
It was strange. In the past, every time he was covered in wounds and was on the verge of death in the depths of the wild, he would see Lu Siya in his daze.
And every time, Lu Siya was with Whitey.
They clearly did not have the chance to meet each other, but in Lin Chuan's dream before he died, they were always together. They laughed and ran along a golden-shaded path covered in ginkgo leaves, but every time, Lin Chuan could not see where they went.
He created the second spark.
This time, he saw it in the spark.
Lu Siya and Whitey ran and ran until they reached the end of the shaded path.
It turned out to be a school. It was the brand new and clean Blessed Happiness Street Elementary School.
The children in Blessed Heavenly Garden and Joyous Heavenly Garden were studying and cultivating seriously. There was even smoke curling up from the cafeteria at the back.
The continuous explosions that sounded like the roars of ancient beasts came from the Red Radiance Jade mine.
The magma-like light spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, scorching his feet.
Perhaps it was because of the medicinal pill that contained Lu Siya's warmth, but he did not feel any pain. He just gritted his teeth and created the third spark.
The bell signaling the end of class rang. The children ran out and surrounded Whitey to play. The children were laughing, and Whitey was laughing too. The school was filled with cheers and laughter.
He sat on the swing in the corner with Lu Siya and watched all of this. He did not think about anything and did not need to worry about anything. He just let the warm sunlight shine on them, treating them as equals.
"By the way, after school ends later, I'll take you to eat the lizard skewers that Old Wang fried at the entrance of the school, okay?"
Lin Chuan heard himself saying to Lu Siya, "I guarantee that you'll scream the moment you see the environment, but trust me, I promise you that once you eat it, you'll never forget it. You'll never … forget it."
A spirit energy tsunami surged into his body.
The magma-like light devoured his legs.
With the last of his strength, he tore open the seal on the crystal bomb and stuffed it into the last hole. Then, he used his body to block the hole.
Lin Chuan faced the spirit energy tsunami head-on.
His vitality magnetic field turned into an Undying Bird that flew high in the endless darkness.
This time, the Weeping Reaper no longer cried.
His blood and tears all turned into the most brilliant smile.
…
Meng Chao, Qin Hu, and Lu Siya heard a shocking explosion under their feet.
The spirit energy magnetic field interference that had been crashing into their vitality magnetic fields like a tidal wave had miraculously weakened by a large margin.
The three of them looked at each other.
Lu Siya fell to the ground powerlessly. In the end, she could not help but cry.
Meng Chao gestured at Qin Hu with his chin. The two of them moved to the left and right of Lu Siya.
"Big Sis Ya, let's go. Big Brother Lin has only temporarily stopped the Red Radiance Jades from exploding. He won't be able to buy us much time. We have to use every second we have to escape and change the world!" Meng Chao shouted.
"That's right, Ms. Lu. Think about our mining priority!" Qin Hu shouted as well.
The two of them dragged Lu Siya to a spot not far away from the territory of the Stone Statue Fungi and the Ten Thousand Blade Flying Spiders.
The spirit energy magnetic field interference became stronger once more. The walls Lin Chuan had destroyed were gradually crushed, melted, and turned into magma by the rampaging energy released by the Red Radiance Jades.
Before long, every crack in the ground beneath the Raging Waves Mountain Range would be filled with destructive storms and tides. Of course, it would also tear all the living beings underground into pieces.
Meng Chao saw countless Ten Thousand Blade Flying Spiders jumping around on the walls like rats who had fallen into a pot of boiling oil and were driven into a corner.
"Don't go back the way we came. It's too far, and it's too dangerous."
Qin Hu gasped for breath. "When we came here, we found a few cracks that lead upwards. We might be able to climb straight to the top of Raging Waves. It might be dangerous, but we have to take the risk!"
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Meng Chao made the decision. "Mr. Hu, lead the way. I trust you!"
Qin Hu cast Meng Chao a strange glance and scratched his beard. He did not understand why the brat trusted him so much. Even he did not dare to believe that they could really climb out of the crack!
But things had already progressed to this point, and he had no other choice. He could only rely on his memories and instincts to find the crack in the wall and climb up.
The three of them climbed with all their might for a long time.
The temperature under their feet grew higher, and the spirit energy magnetic field interference grew stronger. The spirit energy tide was about to catch up to them.
Two cracks that were big enough for a human to crawl appeared in front of them, one on the left and one on the right.
Qin Hu hesitated.
"Mr. Hu, which one is it?" Meng Chao was incredibly anxious.
"That's …"
Qin Hu tugged at his beard. "We weren't that careful in the beginning. Even with ultrasonic feedback, it's impossible for us to accurately map out all the forks in the cracks. I only know that it's roughly in this direction, but as for which one …"
"We're in a desperate situation! We don't have time!"
Meng Chao growled. "Trust your instincts, Mr. Hu. Choose one of the two!"
Qin Hu cast a glance at the spirit flames under his feet, which were becoming brighter. He gulped and made up his mind. He pointed at the crack to the left and said, "This one!"
"Alright, let's go!" Meng Chao quickly crawled over.
She tugged at Meng Chao. "No, it's the one on the right. I'm a Spirit Sensor, and I can sense the faint changes in spirit energy above us. This is the path that leads straight to the surface."
"That's right. Ms. Lu is a Spirit Sensor and a mine explorer."
Qin Hu nodded like he was pounding garlic. "Just listen to her. It's the right."
He wanted to crawl to the crack to the right, but Meng Chao blocked him.
"Wait, Mr. Hu, I want to know why you chose the left just now."
Meng Chao's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a gambler who was betting everything on one throw. "Why the left?"
Qin Hu hesitated for a long time before he said, "What's the reason? Didn't you ask me to choose one of the two based on my instincts? I just randomly chose one. Ms. Lu is a professional, so in the end, I still listened to her."
"Even if it's just your instincts, you need a reason. Why is it that your instincts tell you that the left is the path to survival? Hurry up and tell me!" Meng Chao was incredibly fierce, and he looked like a lunatic.
Qin Hu and Lu Siya were shocked by him.
"Because …"
Qin Hu's face turned red. "Don't you think that the crack to the left looks like the curve of a beautiful woman lying on her side?"
Meng Chao's eyes went wide. He looked at the crack to the left for a long time before he said in shock, "It does! It really looks like it!"
Lu Siya was speechless.
"So, if you ran away alone and came here, if you had to choose one of the two, you would definitely choose the crack to the left that looks like a beautiful woman, right?"
Qin Hu's face turned red as he defended himself. "What are you talking about? You make it sound like I'm a sleazy person. Actually, I'm a very principled person. At most, I just think about it in my head …"
"I don't need to explain. I understand."
Meng Chao slammed his fist. "Then I'll go to the left!"
Lu Siya was dumbfounded. "What the heck? Meng Chao, are you mad? Why the left?"
"Because …"
Meng Chao blinked for a long time. "Don't you think that the crack to the left really looks like a beautiful woman?"
Lu Siya was about to go mad. "What kind of reason is that?!"
"You don't understand. This crack doesn't just look like a beautiful woman lying on her side. It also —" Meng Chao looked conflicted. He did not know how to explain it.
"Also what?" Lu Siya demanded.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "It also … has curves!"
