Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 73 The Mystery of the Blue Crystal

Bai Yang slept soundly that night, washing away the fatigue from the continuous battles on the Trial Tower.

He received a message from Lu Ting as soon as he woke up in the morning.

He recounted the whole story of how he was livestreamed last night.

Although Bai Yang was somewhat surprised, he didn't think much of it; it was bound to happen sooner or later.

His goal is to conquer the entire Trial Tower, and such an action will surely attract the attention of Hong and Thor, which is not surprising at all.

It was an unexpected bonus that I had inadvertently embarrassed Yan Hai.

During the Earth crisis, almost all the councilors stepped forward and volunteered for the five sacrifice slots.

Those councilors who remained completely indifferent were actually in the minority, and Yan Hai was one of them.

There's no need to elaborate on how despicable this guy's character is.

He could even understand why Li Yao insisted on dealing with Luo Feng.

After all, the bond between father and son is natural.

This guy is truly beyond redemption; he's a complete scoundrel.

For the next few days, Bai Yang stayed indoors, verifying the ideas he had gained from the Trial Tower in his own cultivation room.

At the same time, take some time to give guidance to your cousin Bai Sheng; with his skill level, he won't be too far from breaking through to the God of War realm.

His life was relatively peaceful for the time being afterward.

It's best to avoid going near Shanghai.

He and the Bloodstained Squad, along with Yang Wu, chose to change direction and hunt from time to time in the other three directions of the Jiangnan Base City.

After a while, the monsters around them were even reduced to a sparse number by the killing.

After reaching the second stage, the flesh and blood of ordinary monsters no longer have any effect on him.

Bai Yang also once liberated this form alone in the cultivation room.

It has a body length of 12 meters and is equipped with 72 dragons and snakes that can move on their own.

This is true invincible strength below the planetary level. The so-called "invincible war god" can wipe out a large number of people by himself in front of him.

Aside from a large number of dragon beasts, perhaps only unfamiliar sea monsters or king-level monsters can help him continue to improve.

Before they knew it, it was already evening on December 20, 2056.

A blue flying saucer landed on the rooftop helipad of the Bai family villa early in the morning.

Lu Ting and Jiang Long came to visit him, carrying a box.

Bai Yang already knew about this and was waiting for them here in advance.

The three of them went downstairs, found a casual meeting room, and started chatting.

Lu Ting and Jiang Long didn't waste any words and opened the box directly. Inside was the sapphire blue crystal that Bai Yang had discovered earlier.

After a period of research, the scientific and technological personnel at Huashan have finally reached a conclusion.

"So, this really is the heart's blood of that king-level mirage dragon?"

Bai Yang was still somewhat curious about this conclusion.

How could a perfectly normal drop of blood turn into crystals without me even noticing?

"Based on our repeated analysis, that is indeed the case," Jiang Long said.

Lu Ting took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them over.

Bai Yang took it and glanced through it.

Based on various data and analyses, this conclusion should be correct.

Bai Yang had only ever heard stories of certain strange species whose tears turned into pearls.

It's not entirely unacceptable that the blood from the mirage dragon's heart, which was struck by Thor, would crystallize on its own.

"Thor was in a hurry to help Hong, and with his power, he didn't care about this stuff anymore."

"I never expected that the Illusionary Void Rat would obtain it by accident, causing such a big problem," Bai Yang thought to himself.

Lu Gang woke up a few days ago, took the cells, joined his ranks, and told him some details.

He and that Phantom Rat were old rivals, but this time it suddenly became much stronger, forcing him into dangerous situations and almost costing him his life.

Ultimately, it was this crystal that triggered the subsequent events.

Bai Yang said, "Then let's begin."

The three people stood in a triangle, with the blue crystal placed in the middle.

It was placed on a specially made generator, which was the equipment brought by Lu Ting and his team.

After a while, it will emit an ultra-high voltage current to ionize the crystal.

Simultaneously, three powerful individuals whose genetic energy reached the level of advanced war gods injected energy into it, restoring it to a liquid state.

This effect can only last for a very short time, so Bai Yang himself must be present.

Although he hasn't broken through to the advanced War God level yet, his genetic energy is already more than enough.

The three of them carried out the operation according to the prior rehearsal.

The specially designed instrument quickly emitted several bright blue lightning bolts, which struck the crystal.

The crystal, having withstood such a massive electrical shock, quickly changed from blue to red.

"Together!"

Jiang Long roared.

Bai Yang and the other two simultaneously placed their hands on the blood-red crystal and quickly injected their genetic energy.

At the same time, some of the previous electric current also flowed through the crystal and into their bodies.

None of the three took it seriously. If it were a mid-level War God, he would probably be lying on the ground, electrocuted by now.

Stimulated by the genetic energy, the entire crystal underwent a rapid change in shape, as if it wanted to melt.

Then it gradually turned into a liquid, and after a moment it really did turn into a cluster of red droplets the size of an egg.

This drop of blood was truly miraculous; it didn't disperse but instead still exhibited some characteristics of coagulation.

It looks more like a strange red chocolate.

Without the two of them telling him, Bai Yang swallowed it whole immediately!

The three immediately stopped and shut down the generator.

Bai Yang immediately sat down, sensing the changes within himself.

Lu Ting and Jiang Long watched over him, constantly guarding against any unforeseen events.

The Mirage Dragon's heart's blood was being used for the first time by everyone, and no one knew what the outcome would be.

If Bai Yang hadn't said he wanted to give it a try, and if it hadn't originally been his, they really wouldn't have agreed.

Bai Yang had made various preparations to cope with the various changes in his body.

But strangely, the feeling of the mirage dragon that he had before was gone.

No matter how I checked myself, I even secretly used my telekinesis to scan my body.

I didn't notice anything unusual; it really felt like I had eaten an egg, and it was completely digested.

It didn't even absorb the mirage dragon genes that should have been present!

Two hours later, after repeatedly confirming that Bai Yang had indeed not changed at all.

Lu Ting and Jiang Long, also puzzled, boarded the flying saucer and returned to the Kyoto base city.

This whole thing is really disappointing.

Bai Yang and Bai Sheng, who rushed over upon hearing the news, waved goodbye to them from the rooftop, also feeling depressed.

All talk and no action, what a boring situation.

Seeing that he wasn't in high spirits, Bai Sheng said:

"Why don't you take a shower first? You've been too busy and tired lately. Maybe if you relax a bit, you'll start to feel the effects."

Bai Yang nodded, perhaps that was indeed the case.

The medicine's effects were not obvious, and his strength progressed too quickly, so it was almost useless.

He went downstairs to his suite and filled the bathtub with hot water.

After a moment, he lay down inside.

With most of his body submerged in water, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

Why does this water feel so strange?
