The old site of Dragonspine Ridge, the ruins of the Blood Lake, or the Great Beinz Basin — no matter what the name was, all of these words showed the tremendous changes that the earth-shattering catastrophe had caused to the area. Now, more than two months had passed, and the people who caused these dramatic changes had finally returned. They would probably be shocked by the dramatic changes in this place.
After the teleportation halo flashed, Hao Ren and the rest appeared on the mountain ridge of Dragonspine Ridge. The MDT had recorded the spatial coordinates of the last time they left The Plane of Dreams, so this time they teleported directly from the old site. After the teleportation halo dissipated, Nangong Sanba felt a little dizzy. Then, he began to look around curiously at the surrounding mountains. "Oh, what a great place. Was this the place where you guys had your adventure?"
Hao Ren looked at the half-baked demon hunter in surprise. "Wow, you recovered pretty fast. You didn't feel dizzy even after the long-distance teleportation?"
Nangong Sanba smiled proudly. "I've been practicing since I was a kid."
Hao Ren thought he meant that he had been practicing the teleportation skill since he was a kid, but Nangong Sanba glanced at Nangong Wuyue and said, "My sister used to roll me around with her tail when she was a kid. She used to turn the electric fan to the fifth gear..."
Nangong Wuyue's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Brother, you miss the Big Windmill, don't you?"
At this time, Lily suddenly shouted from not far away, attracting everyone's attention. "Whoa! Mr. Landlord, look over here! "
Hao Ren quickly ran over to see what was going on. What he saw stunned him.
In front of him was an unprecedented, horrifying giant sinkhole. The entire landscape surrounded by Dragonspine Ridge had become an endless, bottomless crater. The places where the Beinz Blood Lake and the Gnarled Grove used to be had disappeared. Now, no one could see the structure of the landscape from the giant sinkhole. On the steep cliffs of the sinkhole, there were still cracks emitting thin steam. On the western side of Dragonspine Ridge, there were large pieces of black crystals — they were once melted and then solidified glass. In the lower half of the pit, there were large patches of light blue crystals growing wantonly in the smoke. It seemed to be a crystal forest that had just been formed.
The entire Beinz region had become a giant basin. The sacred lake and the Gnarled Grove were gone. Crystal jungles and volcanic glass covered the area, as well as steam vents and geothermal hot springs were scattered all over the place. This was a geological change.
"The activities of the First Born hollowed out the rock strata in the Beinz area, and the Petrachelys expanded it into a crater." The MDT analyzed the cause of the landform. "The crystal jungle below should be a by-product of the psionic bombardment. Psionic energy is a direct source of information that can fundamentally change the structure of matter and even the laws within a certain range. Those crystals are not materials that should exist in this universe... They may be ordinary rocks that have metamorphosed."
"Not psionic crystals, right?" Hao Ren asked worriedly. "That thing has a lot of radiation."
"Don't worry. Unless it's a specialized radiation weapon, ordinary psionic cannons have no radiation residue. Within a fraction of a second after the bombardment, the radiation near the point of bombardment will be reduced to a safe range," the MDT replied while observing the crystal jungle below. "After all, cleaning up the battlefield is a hassle, and the Xi Ling apostles don't like sloppy things."
"There seems to be something moving down there?" Lily's eyes were sharp. She suddenly noticed some swaying shadows and a few neat man-made objects at the bottom of the smoke-filled crater. "Err... there are houses?"
"They should be mining those crystal mines." The MDT had already noticed the movement below, but it did not think it was a big deal. "Anyway, there's not much radiation. Let them be. Maybe the locals will find the crystals and use them... It's not common, but it does happen. Psionic energy will react with conventional materials and change them into a variety of strange products. Depending on the laws of each world and the specific properties of the specific materials, occasionally some strange things will be created. That's why every time the Empire's army finishes a war, a large group of Galactic Privateers will drive mining ships to the battlefield to mine. Sometimes, they'll even fight each other for the sake of two artillery craters … Fortunately, this rule has been established in the past two years, so the situation is better. "
Hao Ren listened in amazement, thinking that it was really a fight between gods. He had followed Hao Ren here in a daze. He had no idea what they were doing. He wanted to ask someone, but before he could open his mouth, Wuyue stopped him. "Brother, you can ask when we get back. Just follow us for now."
"This place has completely changed... I don't know if the Royal Knights are still here," Hao Ren said. It occurred to him that after the shocking incident in Beinz, the situation in Holletta might have changed dramatically. The Royal Knights and the Church Knights might have changed drastically. "Where are we going to find Marshal Ophra?" he asked.
Just when Becky was about to suggest something, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from a direction. "Wait a minute, someone is coming."
The MDT slipped into Hao Ren's pocket, and Lil Pea quickly jumped into Hao Ren's collar. However, the figure coming from the mountain path was not a stranger. It was an old werewolf they had met once and even fought side by side for a while — the werewolf general of Marshal Ophra, Elson Ebben.
The old werewolf was obviously not passing by by. He saw Hao Ren and his entourage from afar and greeted them with a smile. "You guys are back — strange people from a foreign land."
"So, you have an inexplicable title." Hao Ren was also in a good mood after seeing an acquaintance. He smiled and greeted them. "Have you been waiting for us here?"
Elson was obviously waiting here, but he was a little surprised to see Hao Ren and his entourage suddenly appear. The old werewolf looked curiously at the foreigners in front of him. This group of people always appeared and left suddenly, and caused a lot of incredible things. He was full of curiosity, but he controlled his doubts well and answered Hao Ren's question with a smile. "This is what Ophra told us before she left. She said that you will appear in this place again sooner or later. To prevent unnecessary trouble, we have specifically cleared the area near the main peak of Dragonspine Ridge. There are Royal Knights stationed here. We have been waiting for you."
Nangong Wuyue blurted out, "Don't you think it's a waste of human resources for a general to stand guard here in person?"
"The Beinz Basin is now the focus of the whole continent. The kingdom and the Western tribal countries are nervously watching this place. This place needs a general to lead the troops." Elson shrugged. "I am just waiting for you here. After all, the nose of a werewolf is very sensitive. I can be the first to find anything that appears in the mountains."
Lily immediately nodded happily when she heard this. Her pride as a werewolf was burning again. Speaking of which, this girl was really convenient. She could switch between the identity of a husky and a werewolf seamlessly. When she needed to be fashionable, she would say that she was a werewolf. When she was hungry, she would say that she was a husky. She had the best of both worlds...
"I don't know if there are any problems with our 'identities' here." Hao Ren asked with a smile. "I'll tell you the truth. We have a mission in this world. We need to move around, but we don't want to get into trouble."
Elson nodded. "Your feat in Dragonspine Ridge is obvious to all... Well, at least Ophra and I saw it together. With the guarantee of the four masters, I know there will be no problem. Before Ophra went back, she left a message. If you come back, I will arrange for you to go to the Royal City to see her. She has the next arrangements. But then again... the four masters are not with you? "
"They are busy catching wild rabbits in my world." Hao Ren shrugged. "We are just here to show our faces. We have just helped another race to ascend to the afterlife in another place."
Elson: "?"
"Ahem, it's just a professional jargon. Don't dwell on the details." Hao Ren felt Vivian pinching him on the back. He quickly coughed and said, "Since there's no problem … take us to the lodging first. We'll talk on the way."
