246: Chapter 246 Sea King Beast Crystal! Evolution Level Increased! New Talent
Hearing Mayor Lin of Jianghai City mention the incident in the coastal city, everyone inside the helicopter turned their gaze toward Leader Li Guoli, their expressions solemn as the atmosphere grew tense.
Li Guoli swept his gaze over their grave expressions, his face darkening.
"The incident in the coastal city is real..."
"The matters I mentioned to the Ancient Divine Phoenix are true; it was a disaster that occurred over a month ago."
"The primary objective was to use Intimidation on the Ancient Divine Phoenix, to let him know that our Great Xia has the means to eliminate him..."
The eyes of several Jianghai City leaders lit up!
"Brilliant!"
"Leader, this move is simply a masterstroke of 'striking the mountain to shake the tiger'!"
"You're wrong, it's not a tiger! It's a bird!"
"There was another objective: to see if the Ancient Divine Phoenix knew about the specific situation of the creatures in the Blue Planet's oceans... From the looks of it now, the Ancient Divine Phoenix doesn't know much about the Blue Planet's oceans."
Li Guoli felt a bit of regret. The completion of this mission didn't ease his heart much, because Great Xia faced many hidden threats that the public was unaware of...
Mayor Lin suddenly thought of a crucial matter.
"By the way, Old Li, will that spherical crystal make the Ancient Divine Phoenix even more powerful?"
"I don't know... Our researchers only know that the crystal has a high attraction for evolved creatures and is extremely durable. Everything else is unknown..."
"If the situation in Great Xia wasn't gradually worsening, the leaders of Dragon City wouldn't have handed this mysterious crystal over to the Ancient Divine Phoenix."
"Sigh..."
...
At Divine Phoenix Mountain, a group of massive creatures was perched atop the peak.
Only when the helicopter disappeared from his field of vision did Ye Yang withdraw his gaze.
A bright light flashed deep within his golden pupils!
"Detection Spell!"
He immediately used the Detection Spell to investigate the information of this milky-white spherical crystal.
The reason he hadn't used the Detection Spell in front of that group wasn't because he was afraid it would be discovered—he was quite confident in the stealth of the Detection Spell—but rather because he was worried the information contained in this milky-white spherical crystal would cause him to lose control of his body and behave strangely.
As it turned out, his prediction was correct.
Name: sea king beast crystal
Description: A derivative from within a Sea King Beast, a high-level evolved creature of the 'A-' Commander rank. It is a high-concentration energy aggregate containing massive spiritual energy. Swallowing and absorbing it offers a certain chance to gain a talent.
"sea king beast crystal?!"
When Ye Yang fully understood the information of the milky-white sphere inside the white box on the ground through the Detection Spell, his pupils constricted!
This was actually something from a high-level evolved creature of the 'A-' rank.
"Commander rank... Sea King Beast..."
Although the information from the Detection Spell was concise, he could analyze a lot from it.
First, he learned that the title for an 'A-' rank evolved creature is 'Commander'.
And... the most important piece of information...
That is, 'A-' rank evolved creatures have actually appeared in the deep sea now!
This was the reason for his great shock!
One must know that even with the system's help, constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the air and increasing the Supreme Aura Cells in his body, and having gone through several major battles and obtained many evolution resources over the past year...
Even so, his current evolution level was only 'B'!
"What exactly is the situation with the creatures in the ocean?! Spiritual substances have only been present in the Blue Planet's atmosphere for a year!"
"Could it be that the situation is different from what that human said, and the distribution of spiritual energy between the ocean and the land is completely uneven?!"
In Ye Yang's impression, the ocean was boundless—seven parts water and three parts land—and was also the origin of all life. Most creatures on land evolved from marine life.
Not only is the ocean's surface area vast, but its depth is beyond human imagination. Even with modern humans creating advanced diving equipment, they cannot set foot in some deep-sea areas with unimaginable water pressure.
Facts have already proven that a large number of marine creatures survive in the deep sea, but these creatures have never appeared in human sight.
These mysterious and unknown deep-sea creatures sparked infinite imagination in humans, and these wild ideas led to a large number of science fiction movies about deep-sea behemoths in the human world.
Yet no one expected that the deep-sea behemoths existing in sci-fi movies would actually appear in the real world possessed of spiritual substances.
Furthermore, these deep-sea behemoths were even more terrifying than humans imagined, actually capable of triggering tsunamis and floods that could wipe out cities.
Ye Yang felt a surge of pressure. He had been concerned about the creatures in the ocean a long time ago, but at that time, considering he was a bird soaring in the sky, he hadn't been too worried.
However, now, the appearance of a marine behemoth that could trigger catastrophic floods—practically a natural disaster—changed his original thoughts.
"Marine life is far, far stronger than I anticipated... This Sea King Beast destroyed by human nuclear weapons is very likely not the strongest creature in the ocean..."
"The ocean contains far too many creatures... The unknown possibilities are almost infinite."
Would there one day be a marine creature capable of taking to the skies?
This possibility was almost certain!
Because right before his eyes was a fox capable of flight.
"Chirp chirp... Big brother, this is a real treasure."
Floating in the air by her own telekinetic power, the Little White Fox Ah Li swayed her nine fluffy tails. Her pink fox eyes, the size of a puppy's, stared at the milky-white spherical crystal inside the white box on the ground, her soft voice sounding somewhat excited.
Although she didn't have Ye Yang's Detection Spell and didn't know the information about the sea king beast crystal before her, her keen intuition told her that this was a good thing.
"Chirp chirp! Big brother is truly too smart. By giving those Jianghai City humans a little benefit, he could get such a great tribute!"
Ye Yang automatically ignored Little White Fox Ah Li's admiring gaze and began to stare at the sea king beast crystal in deep thought.
"I wonder what benefits there will be from eating this crystal..."
As the thought appeared, Ye Yang reached out and opened his beak.
Beneath his massive beak, the tiny sea king beast crystal was as small as a glass marble.
With no need for chewing at all, he swallowed it directly into his stomach.
Because the sea king beast crystal was so small, Ye Yang didn't feel anything at first.
As time passed second by second, the beasts on the mountain peak—Little White Fox Ah Li, Panda Xiong Er, and Monkey King Wukong—all turned their gazes toward Ye Yang.
Several minutes passed.
Ye Yang didn't feel any change in his body and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
"This sea king beast crystal couldn't be a fake, could it?"
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive sonic boom rang out, startling all the surrounding creatures!
Then, their pupils dilated as they all looked at Ye Yang's fiery-red, glowing body, because that sound had come from within him.
