"Did any of you hear the last words Old Yang mentioned?"

"No, I only saw Old Yang's mouth moving, but I couldn't hear what he said."

"Me too."

"Don't look at me, it was the same for everyone except..."

All the elders turned their attention to Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi.

"Hey, he did say something, but I still couldn't understand clearly. The keywords were still blurry."

"Ha, Spirit, did you predict that I would speak again? Listen well, it is an indescribable entity, a god and also a monster! Named @# Lu! It is the plague..."

"What did you say?"

The elders stared at each other with wide eyes, for they could only see Jiang Xiao's mouth moving but couldn't hear his words clearly.

Alright.

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and shared a few important keywords with them.

"God, indescribable, something something Lu, plague."

God was easy to understand—it was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Indescribable...

One could guess that it was to describe that god.

Plague probably referred to the current virus.

Lu?

"Lu?"

"This word... seems to convey the most important message."

"Is it a road? Or some sort of route? Or does it want us to go down a particular path, where there might be a method to combat the virus?"

"Don't make wild guesses, I also heard it indistinctly. The pronunciation should be Lu, beyond that I'm not sure."

Jiang Xiao spread his hands, feeling that ever since entering this Kaidan, the phrase "powerless" had wrapped around him.

But in the eyes of the other elders, Jiang Xiao was extraordinary.

No!

He was not only extraordinary but also magnificent to the degree of directly challenging the 'Spirit'!

Keep in mind they couldn't hear Old Yang's last words clearly.

Yet Jiang Xiao could hear it.

And he could communicate it to them, although only a few keywords.

"Indescribable..."

But just then, a hint of gravity appeared in one elder's eyes.

"I think I might know what Old Yang was trying to say."

"Really?!"

Everyone was ecstatic, not believing it could be true!

"Really, Old Zhou? You can't afford to be wrong here."

"It should be, and thanks must go to Lord Mozi. Without those keywords he mentioned, I wouldn't have figured it out!"

Old Zhou looked quite young, only about forty or fifty years old.

But that night, without sleep, his spirit wasn't tired but unusually exhilarated.

Under the intense anticipation of everyone, Old Zhou slowly opened his mouth.

"It's..."

"Wait! Don't say it out loud!!!"

Regrettably, Jiang Xiao's warning came a step too late. Old Zhou had only spoken the word "It's" when his body stiffened, slowly falling backward.

Old Zhou also died.

His death was abrupt and quick.

So quick that those who had been by Old Zhou's side day and night didn't even have time to grieve before he was breathless.

The helicopter's doctor certified the death as acute cardiac failure.

A somber and oppressive atmosphere enveloped them once again.

Jiang Xiao felt quite guilty.

Because he had remembered the words Old Yang had entrusted to him.

He knew what that thing was.

But he couldn't say it.

Once he tried to speak it out, or rather, before he could speak it out, he would either die or go mad.

"Do we... do we still have any hope..."

An old man sat paralyzed on the ground, staring blankly outside the cabin.

"There is, there must be hope..."

Someone comforted, but his own voice sounded lacking in confidence.

Can't even mention the name of that existence?

Could the other party really be a god who can control everything in the world?

"Hmph, a bunch of useless people, it's just that my dad and I haven't read enough books, otherwise we would have found that so-called god and killed him a long time ago!"

Shi Shi appeared out of nowhere, hands on her hips.

"Isn't it just secretly killing a few people? I can do that too! I can even blow up many human heads all at once!"

"Sneaking around, if they were really that powerful, they would have shown themselves already; what a load of gods hiding in the dark corners. Pfft! Looking at you bunch with all your years, it's like you've lived on a dog."

However, her behavior of looking down through her nostrils and scolding these elderly gentlemen didn't make her disliked.

On the contrary, it gave them a bit more confidence.

Yes...

It wasn't completely hopeless yet, at least the Demon and his daughter hadn't made their move!

"Too bad, the Demon isn't very well-read..."

"If you don't know, just ask. With my elementary school level of knowledge reserve, is it too late to start learning history now?"

Jiang Xiao raised his hand to ask.

Everyone: "?"

"Forget it, just joking. Let's all take a break for now. The pilot just said it will be two more hours until we reach Shanghai Port."

Now the day had fully dawned.

Jiang Xiao carried Shi Shi to Grandpa Yang's room, planning to take a nap.

...

Director Wang stared at the walkie-talkie with a wary expression.

Just last night, he had issued a wildly insane command!

The dozen or so fighter jets hovering nearby had just arrived this morning.

These pilots were also confused.

Because the order had been secretly issued in the middle of the night, anyway, this operation was very strange.

Why bomb this primeval forest?

Not to mention that there are no resources here, and given the towering trees and high humidity, fires are not easily spread.

But if a fire did actually occur, then international public opinion...

Just as the mist cleared slightly, these combat helicopters uniformly received the order.

Director Wang's voice came through the walkie-talkie with an undeniable finality, as if issuing the last ultimatum.

"Execute immediately, without mistake! I want you to level that altar, leave no trace!"

The voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie seemed hesitant, clearly shocked by this command.

"Director Wang, but..."

"There are no buts!"

Director Wang's voice was tinged with anger.

"I don't care if there's any value in ancient relics there; right now, that altar is the biggest threat facing our Blue Planet."

"I strongly suspect it's directly connected to this bizarre occurrence; we cannot let it continue to exist!"

The voice on the other end fell silent for a moment, then there were sounds of heavy compliance.

"As you command, Director Wang."

Soon, the roar of fighter jets appeared in the night sky, their sharp trajectories crossing under the stars, heading straight for the altar believed to be linked to the disaster.

At that moment, others also heard the buzzing sound of the helicopters.

Several people rushed frantically toward Director Wang's location.

Director Wang stood straight, his gaze firmly fixed on the distant horizon.

He knew this decision might cause a huge uproar, but he was clearer that if drastic measures weren't taken...

If one day the so-called god mentioned by the Nika Tribe actually appeared.

Could Blue Planet find itself in a situation like the one in Kaidan now?

Director Wang did not dare to gamble.

Even if he ended up in a military court afterward, he was prepared to face it!

But...

Given Dragon Country's current deterrence and command power, even if this primeval forest were completely destroyed, presumably no one would dare to fault him.

The fighter jets soon reached their target airspace, all missiles ready.
