Chapter 164: 146. Ten Thousand Tons of Gold, the Miraculous Uses of the Spirit Tree Space

“Brothers, follow me!”

The highest commander of the Jiuzhou Legion, Commander Wu Dingtian, shouted as he looked at the extraterrestrial peak ahead.

Just five minutes ago.

This iron mountain, measured in “megaton” units, had plummeted from the sky onto the earth’s surface.

The terrifying pressure of the mountain directly caused a seismic event.

The area at the point of contact with the mountain instantly collapsed over a hundred meters deep.

The surrounding ground also split into large cracks one after another.

The iron mountain didn’t tilt or topple; it simply plunged straight into the earth.

“Buzz~”

The earthquake lasted for quite a while before finally stabilizing.

The apocalypse itself seemed no different.

The group of superpower users led by Commander Wu was deeply shaken by this display of nature’s might.

At this very moment.

Commander Wu ran forward with huge strides.

As one of the top five Great Xia Superpower Users, this commander had one mission.

To dig through and break the mountain.

Basically, to break open the mountain and reduce it into smaller fragments to facilitate long-distance transportation.

There’s no other way.

Engineering machinery cannot enter the scene for now, so they can only rely on superpower users for manual excavation.

Very soon.

Commander Wu approached the pitch-black iron mountain.

With a powerful thrust of his feet on the ground, a muffled “boom” sound erupted, and he leaped high—over twenty meters.

This was equivalent to a six or seven-story height.

However.

Commander Wu failed to reach the mountain.

A strong repelling force suddenly emerged from within the mountain.

Commander Wu exclaimed, being bounced back even faster.

He quickly activated his superpower, transforming instantly into a stone man.

Commander Wu was knocked back more than fifty meters away, landing on the ground in a desolate state.

“Boom!”

Another muffled sound echoed.

Commander Wu smashed into the dirt.

But with the protection of his superpower, he was not injured.

The other superpower users felt the repelling force and stopped in their tracks.

“Damn it!”

Commander Wu swiftly got up, cursing with a displeased expression.

He initially had a small hope of being the first to climb the extraterrestrial mountain and the first to extract a piece of iron.

In a sense, this was also a way to make history.

Unfortunately, the peak seemed to contain a peculiar force that shattered his dream.

A minute later.

Commander Wu tried again.

This time he didn’t jump but quickly walked towards the peak.

When the distance closed to fifteen meters, the strange repelling force appeared again.

Commander Wu roared, instantly expanding into a three-meter-high stone man, bracing against the repelling force as he stepped forward.

Step!

Step!

Step!

Commander Wu could no longer move.

He gritted his teeth, pushing his superpower to the maximum, managing to take half a step forward.

“Poof!”

The repelling force exploded forcefully again.

Commander Wu was bounced away like a rubber ball.

But this time, prepared, he was knocked ten meters back, flipped in mid-air, and landed firmly on his feet.

Commander Wu’s face looked displeased, speaking a useless phrase: “This thing is weird.”

He suggested a solution: “Let’s have Ghost Lord intervene!”

The subordinate responded: “Yes!”

After some contacts.

The subordinate reported: “Mr. Ghost is on his way here.”

Soon.

Everyone sensed something and looked up together towards the mountain summit.

A figure covered in ripples descended smoothly with the night breeze.

Commander Wu stared wide-eyed.

He was eager to see how Mr. Ghost would neutralize the mountain’s repelling force.

Ten seconds later.

“Buzz~”

The mountain slightly trembled.

Mr. Ghost’s feet landed on the summit of the peak.

Commander Wu was bewildered.

He could sense that a repelling force burst forth from the mountain earlier, then vanished completely.

“All done!”

Mr. Ghost’s voice drifted down.

Then.

Mr. Ghost disappeared without a trace.

Commander Wu, feeling a bit discouraged, muttered, “Damn it, Mr. Ghost demonstrated right in front of me, and I still didn’t understand what happened.”

His deputy, Colonel Ding, comforted him: “Old Wu, don’t lose heart, everyone is a fool in front of Mr. Ghost.”

Commander Wu glared at him: “Are you here comforting me, or hitting me?”

Colonel Ding pointed at the mountain, speaking nonchalantly: “Are you going up? If not, I’ll go first.”

Commander Wu quickly shouted: “Of course I’m going!”

He started sprinting and leaped up, landing smoothly on the mountain surface.

The repelling force had completely vanished.

Commander Wu, with a faint sense of emotion, quickly started climbing upward.

For ordinary people, climbing a peak several hundred meters tall with bare hands is a challenging task.

But for superpower users, this is very simple.

In just three minutes.

Commander Wu successfully reached the summit.

Over a hundred superpower users followed closely behind, each selecting a spot.

Commander Wu waved his hand: “Let’s start working!”

“Boom! Boom!”

Muffled sounds echoed continuously.

This group of superpower users began using their power to break open the mountain.

They were Great Xia’s most outstanding physical Ability Users, wielding formidable power.

With each punch, the mountain, as hard as steel, would crack open.

In no time.

A section of the summit, over twenty meters tall and weighing several thousand tons, was severed by their joint efforts and pushed down together.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion.

The mountain peak heavily crashed onto the ground.

Tens of thousands of soldiers saw this scene.

A cheer immediately rang out across the crowd.

Commander Wu grinned and said, “Old Wu has pushed down this huge iron hulk, I’ve indeed participated in a historical process.”

He felt in his heart, although he couldn’t leave a significant mark in history books like Mr. Ghost.

But when history describes this event in detail, it will likely write: “Wu Dingtian led the Jiuzhou Legion and excavated the first piece of iron.”

Colonel Ding exclaimed, pointing at the fracture on the mountainside, “Old Wu, look quickly!”

Commander Wu glanced over and immediately saw a large patch of gold.

Colonel Ding’s tone was a bit excited, “This is gold! I estimate the gold content of this mountain won’t be low, probably two hundred million tons can refine ten thousand tons of gold.”

Commander Wu remained calm, “Old Ding, stay calm, the Primordial World is vast and boundless, with resources beyond end, gold may not be worth much.”

Colonel Ding seemed as though a pot of cold water had been poured over him, “You’re right, casually a mountain can yield so much gold.

The gold reserves of the Primordial World might pile up enough to fill the entire Canglan Star even extracting a small portion.”

He felt a bit pained, “The price of gold is probably going to plummet; I just bought a gold bracelet for my wife last month.”

Commander Wu interrupted, “Stop whining and get to work!”

A group of people went back to work with zeal and enthusiasm.

On the ground.

A large number of Superpower Users were busy.

They were splitting the fallen iron blocks into smaller pieces, then moving them away by manpower.

And a large number of soldiers were urgently building a road leading to Celestial Iron Peak to facilitate engineering vehicles.

Under the night sky.

The Yu Gong of Great Xia were battling furiously.

Yang Fan maintained invisibility, hovering in mid-air to observe for a while, then activated the Shuttle Boat to leave.

His battlefield wasn’t here.

Long before the mountain fell, he had sent out a large group of bird partners.

Just now, a bird sent an alert, suspecting the discovery of strange traces.

Thirty kilometers away.

Yang Fan appeared quietly.

The Shuttle Boat evolved again, greatly increasing the teleportation distance.

Yang Fan looked down at the grass below, smiling and calling out, “Buddy, you’re the first dead ghost to come over; you should be lurking beside Jin Kongque.”

He said leisurely, “Oh, by the way, allow me to introduce myself, I am the Great Xia Ghost.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

A figure emerged from the grass, frantically fleeing backward.

This was a Caucasian man.

The man’s face twisted in extreme horror.

Obviously.

The name “Great Xia Ghost” terrified him to the extreme.

Yang Fan muttered quietly to himself, “Am I that scary?”

Originally, he thought the Jin Kongque beside Shapudian should be the first to join the chaos, investigating the situation on Celestial Mountain.

But the reality caught him by surprise.

The Caucasian came over first.

Yang Fan glanced at the crazily fleeing white man, his figure flickered again, instantly teleporting behind him.

He smiled again and said, “Sir, would you be interested in seeing a little trick?”

The white man instinctively looked back.

In that instant.

A leopard cat appeared out of thin air in front of the white man, fiercely swiping its claw.

The metallic sheen of the claw swiftly streaked across the white man’s neck.

A head spun away.

The whites of the man’s eyes flashed with intense confusion.

Where did this leopard cat come from?

Until the moment of death, he never figured it out.

Yang Fan praised, “Ermao, well done!”

“Purr!”

The leopard cat meowed, its eyes filled with obedience.

Back when Yang Fan arrived in Shapudian, he discovered this mutant leopard cat and did not kill it but rather subdued it.

Previously he “signed” a squirrel, naming it “Damao,” hence the leopard cat was given the name “Ermao.”

The Soul Stealing Wisp vanished instantly.

Another 2.2 Spiritual Source Value, and a kind of junk superpower acquired.

Yang Fan looked at the corpse and courteously said, “Thank you!”

Having crossed half of Canglan Star, sent gifts from the Southern Cross Alliance, it’s indeed quite laborious if you think about it.

He shifted his thoughts, the Space Pearl appeared.

“Buzz~”

The Supreme Treasure vibrated slightly.

A green light flashed.

The leopard cat vanished without a trace.

Not long ago, this Supreme Treasure underwent a transformation, slicing out a Spirit Tree Space within.

The characteristic of Spirit Tree Space is that it can contain living creatures.

Yang Fan touched the Supreme Treasure and “saw” a yellow-gray figure curled up quietly beneath the Spirit Tree.

He nodded with satisfaction, “Releasing the animals from Spirit Tree Space for a surprise attack on the enemy seems to be a pretty good strategy.”

*

On the other side of Canglan Star.

Carmenia Federation.

Yokoni City.

This largest city in the Federation was plunged into a massive crisis.

Over a hundred Iron Sand Poison Ants thoroughly disrupted Yokoni City.

“Woo~”

The piercing sound of the air-raid siren echoed over the entire city.

Yang Fan’s soul, using the power of the Treasure Clone Puppet, maneuvered a clone, standing at a restaurant entrance.

He gazed up at the sky, puzzled, “Iron Sand Poison Ants don’t fly high, why are they sounding the air-raid siren? Quite strange indeed!”

Yang Fan turned to see an empty restaurant and strode inside.

Outside on the street lay dozens of corpses, the ground smeared with large swathes of blood.

All the Carmenians on that street were scared off.

Yang Fan walked to the bar, picked up a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and took a tentative sip.

“Pah!”

He immediately spat the coffee out.

Yang Fan frowned and commented, “Really hard to drink!”

“Whoo~”

The sound of rotor blades vibrating was coming from afar.

Yang Fan immediately had an intuition; the armed helicopter group dispatched by the Carmenia Army had finally rushed here from the nearby military base.

He showed a cold smile, “Carmenia ought to have some good excitement.”

The Carmenians repeatedly caused trouble in Shapudian and attempted to assassinate him several times.

Yang Fan found it extremely annoying and now planned to return the favor properly, “As the Great Xia saying goes, reciprocation is a courtesy!”
