Xihai Lake was located in Xihai Province, northwest of the Huaxia region.
It was the largest lake in the Huaxia region, as well as the largest saltwater lake. It was connected to Mount Datong, Mount Sun Moon, and Mount Xihai South. It was also located near Qingtang Base City, an important city in the northwest.
Gao Peng knew about these things. He also remembered that there was only one type of fish in Xihai Lake. Before the Cataclysm, there was only one type of fish in Xihai Lake. It was also the only type of fish that lived in Xihai Lake.
After the Cataclysm, the fish multiplied like crazy, and the entire Xihai Lake became their nest.
Then, on the basis of the original barnfish, it evolved into the Land Barnfish, the Winged Barnfish, the Purple-Backed Barnfish, and the Giant Barnfish.
It was a competition among the fish. All the fish wanted to prove that they were the best way to evolve.
All Huangyu fish evolved according to the order of their evolution.
The Forbidden Magic Stone was one of the necessary materials for the Adamantine Duck to evolve to Legendary-grade. The final evolution path was the Forbidden Adamantine Duck.
Although the other materials for this path were rare, they could be found on the market. Only the Forbidden Magic Stone was extremely difficult to find. Gao Peng had wanted to give it a try. Now, it seemed that he was in luck.
The Forbidden Magic Stone had various attributes. Basically, all the existing attributes could be included in the Forbidden Magic Stone.
The attribute that the Forbidden Magic Stone corresponded to meant that it had a strong repulsive force against that attribute. At the same time, it also had a certain repulsive force against other attributes.
He had to get the Forbidden Magic Stone!
Legendary-grade … Gao Peng licked his lips. This meant that the Adamantine Duck could awaken a second special characteristic.
Just as Gao Peng was looking for more information about Xihai Lake, he received a call from his grandfather.
"Is this the material you need?"
"Ah, yes. Sorry to trouble you, grandpa." Gao Peng nodded.
"That's good. I'll send someone to get the Forbidden Magic Stone. Just stay at home." Grandpa quickly hung up the phone.
Gao Peng was left in a daze. He felt a little uncomfortable.
Logically speaking, shouldn't he be the one fighting a battle of wits and courage with the wild monsters and then going through all kinds of hardships to get the treasure? Sometimes, he even had to be on guard against the princes of other major factions who came to snatch the treasures from him. If he wasn't careful, he might end up provoking a group of enemies. Why was this completely different from what he had imagined …
'But, but … why do I feel so happy?'
.....
Over a thousand people were gathered at the side of the West Sea Lake, and they were bustling with activity as they separated into groups of different sizes. The bigger ones had dozens of people, while the smaller ones had two or three people.
Although Xihai Lake was called a lake, it was actually extremely vast. Before the Cataclysm, it was already 4,456 square kilometers in size, twice the size of Lake Tai.
After the Cataclysm, the surface area of the West Sea Lake had expanded rapidly.
Standing at the edge of the lake, the blue waves were ethereal, and the sky and water merged into one. A gentle breeze blew across the surface of the lake, stirring up a faint salty smell.
"Chen Laoer, you're here too? Aren't you in the medicine business? What are you doing here? " By the lakeside, a red-haired woman in a leather jacket slowly blew out a female cigarette. Her slender eyes narrowed into slits, and her captivating red lips curled up.
"Don't talk about such useless things." Not far away, a tall, thin man with a buzz cut and a mustache waved his hand casually. "Everyone's thinking the same thing. Let's not waste time here."
The red-haired woman chuckled and casually threw the cigarette butt in her hand to the ground. She stepped on it lightly with her high heels and extinguished it.
"They should all be here." By the lakeside, a large truck was parked at the edge of the road. A few men jumped out of it. The leader was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, and there was a dragon-shaped tattoo that extended from his arm all the way to his ear. This man's name was Gao Heng, and he was also the head of the marketing department of the Blackgate Group in Qingtang Base City. Basically, he was the one who spoke on behalf of the Blackgate Group.
"The item that caused the fish to riot in the West Sea Lake this time will be purchased by the Blackgate Group for 300 million Alliance dollars and three Commander-tier monster crystal cores. As long as someone brings that item here, the money and crystal cores will be handed over to you immediately," Gao Heng said calmly.
It was indeed that price. Many of the people present who had heard the news in advance had their eyes lit up.
There was no doubt that the item that caused the fish to riot in the lake was a treasure.
But even if it was a treasure, it would be worthless if no one knew what it was and how to use it. This was especially true for individual monster trainers who had no laboratory or background. If they knew how to use it, it would be fine. If they didn't know how to use it, it was just a pile of scrap metal.
300 million Alliance dollars and three Commander-tier monster crystal cores was an astronomical sum for many monster trainers who had no background.
For the Blackgate Group, if they could purchase an extraordinary treasure with just a small amount of money, it was definitely a profitable deal.
Moreover, the treasure was so close to Qingtang Base City, so they were determined to get it.
In the northeastern region of the West Sea Lake, large waves were rising from the lake. Layer upon layer of waves were stacked on top of each other. The lake water was illuminated by a faint blue light from the bottom of the lake. The bright light shone on the bottom of the lake, illuminating the shadows of some of the giant creatures in the lake.
"Brother, just how many carp are there in the lake?" A few monster trainers stood on the deck of a ship. One of them had his mouth wide open as he stared blankly at the black mass in the distance.
"The carp in the West Sea Lake are going to be a disaster!" Someone next to him mumbled. They had always known that there were many carp in the West Sea Lake, but they didn't have a clear idea of how many carp there were. Now they knew.
The black mass was like a wave in the shadows, almost filling the entire lake. From time to time, a giant carp would be squeezed out of the water and roar into the sky.
Mist sprayed into the sky and filled the lake, causing the thousand-ton ship to sway incessantly.
"Forget it, let's go back. Even if we get the thing at the bottom of the lake, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the lake … unless we have a flying-type familiar."
"I'm afraid flying-type familiars won't work either," someone next to him said calmly. He then pointed into the distance. That was the danger zone near Qingtang Base City — Mount Sun Moon!
Mount Sun Moon had two peaks. The left peak was Yin and shaped like the moon, while the right peak was Yang and shaped like the sun.
Apart from that, Mount Sun Moon was also the gateway from the central plains to Tibet. It was also known as the "West Sea Screen" and the "Gateway to the Grasslands." At the same time, it was also the boundary between the monsoon and non-monsoon regions. It was located at the intersection of the Loess Plateau and the Tibetan Plateau. At the same time, Mount Sun Moon was like a celestial barrier. Outside the mountain was a nomadic civilization, while within the mountain was a farming civilization.
This mountain, which had been given various meanings, had become even more mystical after the Cataclysm.
In the direction of Mount Sun Moon, there was a flock of black bird monsters that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Wherever they passed, stars would spread out. The bird at the front spread its wings. Its body was as big as a passenger plane. One end of its wings was white, while the other was black. Its eyes were golden red.
