C338 Hemoptysis
Shen Lang and Que De looked at each other and understood why Xin Qiwu would receive them so enthusiastically today.2
So he had a favor to ask of them.
Shen Lang had planned to check out the Unknown Region from the start. Now, with so many Super Rank experts gathered there, it would be a protective umbrella for him. Making use of this opportunity, he wanted to understand the contents of the Unknown Region.
"Since the two elders have such a great relationship, then we won't be courteous." Shen Lang said.
"It's great to deal with young people. You can't get out of the mud or out of the water." Xin Qiwu and Yang Chao were also very happy, "This matter should not be delayed. Let's go now."
Shen Lang, Que De and the other two people arrived at Source Alliance door together. There was already a long business car waiting for them. After they got on the car, other than the driver, there were already two other people inside.
"Mister Waves, Mister Wu De, let me introduce them to you. These two are also the managers of our Source Alliance, Xing Feng and Pan Daorong." Xin Qiwu introduced.
Xing Feng and Pan Daorong appeared to be younger than Xin Qiwu and Yang Chao. Xing Feng had Source Power Level at the sixth level of Super Rank, and he was around fifty years old. Pan Daorong looked to be around 45 or 46 years old, with a medium build and a full beard. Compared to Xing Feng, he looked a little more casual, with the Source Power Level at the fourth level of the Super Rank.
"The first person who rushed over this morning, the Source Alliance Overseer, is Big Pan." Xin Qiwu said, "Pan, go to the scene and tell these two people about the situation on the way there."
"Sure." Pan Daorong nodded, smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Hai, I think Old Xin already told you the general situation. I just came from the hospital, went to look at the only source crystal that survived the accident, and asked for some new clues. When these few people went to the Unknown Region area to dig a sand pit, they had only gone down less than two meters when they started to dig Source Ore s. Most of the Source Ore s they dug out were level three, and very few were level one or two. This further boosted the greed of the few of them. They worked alternately until they were about three meters deep, and then they started to come out of the underground water. Think about it, this is a desert, and most of the water is transported in from the outside at a high price. If there is a spring with a sufficient amount of water, it would be a huge profit just to open a water factory and give water to the people here. As a result, not much underground water was dug out, and soon it turned red. In the end, it became the color of blood and began to gush out. At that time, this person called Yang Yong was the one who survived. He happened to be at the edge of the crater looking in, and upon discovering that something was amiss, he immediately ran out. As for the few people in the sandpit and the ones beside it, they were all sprayed by the blood and turned into pus on the spot!
"At that time, I was on patrol, and happened to be nearby. I saw Yang Yong running towards here with blood dripping from his wounds, so I stopped his bleeding. After hearing the general situation, I sent someone to take him to the hospital. From afar, I could see the pool of blood which was more than ten meters high. After falling down, it covered an area of fifty to sixty meters. I propped up an Origin Energy Barrier to cover my entire body, and rushed in to see what was going on. As soon as I entered the sandpit, I was pushed out by the force contained in the blood. In addition, the blood also corroded and decomposed the source energy, but it didn't have much of an effect. I observed from there for half an hour, and noticed that the gush of blood was gradually moving eastward from the center of the sand pit, which is to say, from the Red Sand District's side. After leaving the sand pit, the gush stopped, and instead, was contaminated by the ground.
Pan Daorong lit up a cigarette and continued, "Just now, I asked Yang Yong and he said that besides the gushing blood he saw at the edge of the sandpit, there was also a mouth at the bottom of the sandpit. The mouth was about a meter in diameter, and there were layers upon layers of sharp teeth in the mouth. From the looks of it, it should be a creature. The greatest possibility was some kind of berserk beast. A few old fellows have already taken the initiative to suppress us. If we go over now, I'm afraid we will only be taking a walk in the park. "However, this ancient magical artifact was created by a powerhouse from the previous generation, so there aren't many opportunities to see it …"
Before Pan Daorong could finish talking, the car had already stopped. Yang Chao looked outside and said, "The road ahead is sealed. We can't let you in. Let's go."
They got out of the car. Shen Lang looked to the west and saw a big piece of ground a few hundred meters away that was covered in blood. The sand from the Blood-red Desert was originally red, but the color of the blood was still not covered.
However, this liquid that looked like blood did not have any smell.
When Shen Lang and the others walked up, there were already more than ten people there. Every single one of them gave off a strong aura and were all experts of the Super Rank. Shen Lang also felt that four auras were at the ninth level of the Super Rank.
"Old Bai, how is it?" Xin Qiwu asked a short elder beside him.
"The things underground have been restricted by the four magic tools. They're temporarily unable to move further east." The short old man said.
"Temporarily?" Yang Chao frowned.
"Yes, that thing is very fierce. The magic tools that have been continuously attacked aren't very stable. If we don't quickly get rid of it, the restrictions on the magic tools will be broken sooner or later." The short elder Bai nodded.
"Then why aren't you making your move?" Pan Daorong asked.
"I'm still observing. I don't even know what that thing on the ground is. I can't act rashly." A grave look appeared on Old White's face.
"It doesn't seem to be that simple." Que De whispered to Shen Lang.
"Look again —" Shen Lang said.
After a few minutes, a grey-haired old man, whose Source Power Level was at the seventh level of the Super Rank, walked out from the crowd. With a dark look in his eyes, he swept across the ground, and circulating his Origin Energy, his palm formed a purple-colored condensed Origin Energy crystal, forming a huge drill that was five to six meters long and as thick as a bucket.
As the sand was continuously dug up, blood began to gush out.
Behind the grey haired old man, a Source Cultivator of the seventh floor carefully threw some things near the spurting blood.
It was a piece of pork with bones, a rock, a piece of wood, and a piece of iron.
The scarlet blood splattered on these items. White smoke began to rise from the pork very quickly. There were traces of corrosion on the wood. There were no changes to the stone or metal.
