Chapter 698 Let Me Find You

Yu Xia carried Kraken and rode the spirit body with Floch through a scorched area.

After those handbone flowers disappeared, they basically did not encounter any pollutants or alien species.

Floch surveyed his surroundings. “Dragonfire is indeed the most effective way to clean up.”

Kanulius led the advance into this area, burning almost the entire area with dragonfire, leaving the buildings blackened.

After the handbone flowers disappeared, the pollution concentration also decreased significantly, and the heterogeneous fungal carpet could not grow temporarily. Occasionally, a few heterogeneous species would emerge, but they dared not approach them.

“What a pity,” Floch said. “If these dragon-type sentinels had a higher level of mental resistance, like the sea creatures, they could burn away even the strongest pollution.”

Yu Xia said, "Even the most powerful things have weaknesses. Nothing is perfect. Even the sea creatures have fatal weaknesses."

Kraken extended a tentacle and waved it in front of her.

Yu Xia smiled and pressed down on its tentacles. "I know you can protect me, so I'm not worried. Now I can protect you all too."

As long as she lives well, the sea creatures can maintain their best condition.

"Where are the others?" Floch whispered in Yu Xia's ear.

Yu Xia leaned back slightly. "You too."

Floch's expression softened. "You do seem to like sea creatures."

Yu Xia didn't want to discuss these issues with him, lest she say something that upset him later.

She looked around at the surrounding buildings and remarked, "These buildings are really heat-resistant."

The buildings in this area were made of some unknown material, and were even more sturdy than some of the buildings today. Even when burned by dragon flames, they did not burn much and remained standing, like giants standing and looking down on them.

Yu Xia also noticed the original gray and white color of the building's exterior walls, and that the architectural style was quite different from their logistics area. It was taller overall and had a style somewhat similar to Avitalos.

Based on the time it took for the contaminated area on Deman Star to spread, this place is probably about a thousand years old.

"This should be the recovery zone," Flock said.

Yu Xia: "Fuxing District?"

Flock: "A thousand years ago, before the pollution of the North Second District spread here, the faith in gold suddenly arose, and many gold believers built a new capital here, wanting to replicate the glory of gold in the past."

Yu Xia was somewhat surprised, "This is the first time I've heard of this. It seems there's no record of this event in the history of Deman Star."

She had read many books about history in the holy city, but she had not read this part.

Yu Xia pondered for a moment and said, "I thought that the Golden Clan had disappeared from the public eye thousands of years ago. It turns out there was such a history."

Floch said, “I also saw it in an old history book. Not long after these believers established the Gold New City, the polluted zone eroded the area, and a large number of Gold believers died. The hand bone flower is the form in which those believers dedicated themselves to the Gold New City.”

Yu Xia was taken aback and said, "Could these hand bone flowers be those believers?"

Flock nodded slightly. "Yes, but they shouldn't be the first batch. I'm not too sure about those from before that."

Yu Xia pondered and said, "Since its establishment, in order to protect the Golden Bloodline and prevent the Golden Bloodline's genes from spreading outside, few people outside know about the Golden Clan; they only know about the Holy City."

Floch: "As long as the Holy City exists, the history of the Golden Clan will not disappear. Not all Golden Bloodlines can stay in the Holy City for their entire lives. There are always some Goldens like you who do not want to be imprisoned in the Holy City."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xia recalled what she had seen in the golden cemetery behind the temple. Many of those deceased Golden Ivi had left the Holy City, but their final resting place was still there.

Their escape was like a dream, and in the end they accepted their fate.

Yu Xia felt a pang of sorrow when she thought of them.

Floch keenly sensed her emotions and said, “Regardless of whether the contaminated area issue is resolved or not, you no longer need to concern yourself with the Holy City. As Gold, you have already given them enough. You owe them nothing, and you don’t need to go back to that cage.”

“The Golden Race shouldn’t exist like nourishment,” Flock said.

As Yu Xia listened to Flock's tone, a strange feeling welled up in her heart, as if there was something hidden in his words.

“Here it is.” Floch interrupted Yu Xia’s thoughts and took out a silver metal ball from his backpack.

He jumped off the dolphin and twisted the metal ball open.

The metal spheres floated into the air, forming a teleportation space, allowing them to teleport to other areas at any time should any situation arise.

Yu Xia looked ahead and saw that the red fog was getting thicker. The buildings were relatively intact and showed no signs of being burned. Kanulius's team had only advanced this far. If they went any further, they would be in danger of being attacked by alien species and pollutants.

She opened her terminal to view the offline map, marked the area, and then compared it with the previous locations to avoid having to revisit them.

Some areas are too similar and easily repeat themselves.

Yu Xia released her mental energy to sense the special, alien aura in the air.

—The aura of the Red God.

Sensing her spiritual power, the red mist in the air stirred slightly and gathered towards her.

Yu Xia tried her best to relax and not resist.

As soon as she has the thought of resistance, the red mist will dissipate, and the aura of the Red God will weaken until she can no longer sense it.

Yu Xia was somewhat puzzled by this.

In the past, the Crimson God would always take the initiative to approach her. When she was a child, she lived in the Holy City. The Crimson God was still in a slumbering state, and heretics would constantly try to get close to her.

However, after entering the North Second District, one force kept pushing her away, while another force wanted to lead her deeper in. She didn't understand.

Yu Xia concentrated her mind and sat down on a large square rock that the little octopus had cleared out. She focused her consciousness on her spiritual body and followed the faint aura of the Red God in the air.

"Where are you? Stop hiding, let me find you!" Yu Xia's spiritual body emitted a series of cries, its spiritual power carrying a certain allure as it swept over the alien creatures, gathering information about the Crimson God and the main nest.

Flockkraken kept a close eye on Yu Xia's body, constantly on guard against any potential danger to her.

Yu Xia's spirit carefully made her way through the increasingly thick red fog. The further she went, the more alien species and pollutants she encountered. She saw the little balloon people who had once chased her, as well as the hand bone flowers growing in the thick fungal carpet.

The fingers of the Handbone Flower sway gently like leaves rustling in the wind, while the central flower head shines with a lustrous glow like a magic ball.

The hand-bone flowers were in different states; some were stretched out, while others were closed, enveloping the heads inside, and their tongues were of different lengths.

When the hand bone flower is in a dormant or energy-transforming state, its tongue will retract or only a small section will be exposed, looking strangely cute and silly.

Those active handbone flowers will stick out their long tongues and prey on foreign species and pollutants.

Yu Xia was astonished. The Hand Bone Flower actually eats its own kind?
