Deep in the Great Prairie.
The weather was fair, with endless green grass composing a vast and beautiful scene.
Unlike lifeless objects, this scene was filled with boundless vitality.
Upon the scene, cattle and sheep roamed in small groups, leisurely grazing on the tender grass. Meanwhile, a pack of fierce wolves surrounded a large blue sheep they had hunted, their mouths bloodied from the feast.
In the sky, silhouettes of fierce birds occasionally appeared, clutching their prey as they soared through the air.
Since the Golden Eagle Race perished, the fierce birds and beasts previously driven away had returned to their birthplace, the Great Prairie.
Suddenly, the earth, like a green carpet, surged with a mysterious aura like a fountain.
This aura was rich and flowed across the Great Prairie like waves crashing toward every direction.
The first to sense this change were naturally the beasts living on the prairie.
In an instant, these beasts seemed agitated and restless, as if they were stimulated.
The cattle and sheep, which were previously enjoying their meal, all raised their heads in alertness. The entire group appeared as though a pause button had been pressed, their steps stopped as they looked around, ears twitching, searching for something.
The pack of wolves, which had been tearing into their prey, stood up as if they heard the footsteps of a hunter, their noses sniffing the air.
Suddenly, these black wolves became excited, as if they had discovered something extraordinary.
They paced back and forth on the grass, howling toward the sky.
High above, a nearby purple-winged bird of prey flew over, its keen eyes surveying everything below.
It circled the airspace continuously, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Suddenly, where the aura emerged, the space above twisted, as if forcibly distorted by some power, causing strong spatial fluctuations that extended outward from the center.
The power of the spatial distortion was terrifying; any object that collided with it turned into fragments in an instant, disappearing into the chaotic space.
Thunderous sounds!
The intensity of the spatial distortion grew, and the entire scene before them became jumbled, as though countless different photographs were stacked upon each other, chaotic beyond measure.
Suddenly, the earth erupted with a rumbling sound, continuously trembling with the force of an earthquake.
In just a few seconds, the earth cracked under this tremor, and the surrounding grasslands and soil fell into the crevices.
The terrifying scene left the nearby cattle, sheep, and wolves in a panic, fleeing madly across the prairie.
But the speed at which the ground split was astonishing, and some beasts that couldn't escape in time fell into the bottomless abyss, their shrill cries echoing in the cracks.
Boom!
In the next moment, a golden pillar of treasure light shot up from the earth's cracks, its radiance spreading like ripples over the entire Great Prairie.
The light column pierced the heavens, penetrating the clouds above, dyeing them gold.
Such a commotion naturally couldn't elude human notice.
The scene of the treasure light piercing the sky was entirely captured by drones dispatched by the Meng Province Military Region.
Faced with this strange phenomenon, the Meng Province Military Region, after suffering from the Black Demon Tiger's assault, chose not to act rashly and promptly reported the findings to the Imperial Capital, awaiting possible instructions.
However, the Meng Province did not just stand by; instead, they dispatched more drones to the site of the golden light column for careful investigation.
Imperial Capital.
"Dean Lin, this is special information sent by the Meng Province Military Region!"
The assistant called out Dean Lin, who was busy in the laboratory, handing him a crystal glass-like tablet.
"Is there new information about the Black Demon Tiger?"
Dean Lin did not immediately take it but first attempted to remove the white gloves from his hands, asking in passing.
"No, the Black Demon Tiger has disappeared without a trace. The Meng Province Military Region hasn't found its location yet, but based on big data calculations, there's a high possibility that the Black Demon Tiger is hiding in the Great Snow Mountain."
The assistant shook his head, deftly taking the gloves removed by Dean Lin.
"Not about the tiger?"
Dean Lin felt puzzled and took the tablet to examine.
The assistant stood quietly to the side.
Staring at the image of the golden light column on the screen and the massive crack in the ground, Dean Lin slightly frowned, lost in thought.
"This anomaly resembles the emergence of a rare phenomenon or treasure. However, it's rare to see something this grand."
Dean Lin had a speculation, though not fully certain, yet he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
This terrifying golden phenomenon reminded him of the Treasure Tree guarded by the Thunder Tiger in Changbai Mountain.
Back then, that Treasure Tree also emitted a dazzling light column, shooting straight into the sky.
Therefore, if this celestial phenomenon also signifies the emergence of a rare treasure, then its value might be unimaginable; even a beast like the Thunder Tiger might vie for it.
"Xiao Zhang, this should be a sign of a rare treasure emerging, and it must be a significant one. Hurry and notify our people to gather immediately!"
Dean Lin handed the tablet back to the assistant, issuing the instruction urgently.
"Got it, Dean. I'll handle it right away."
The assistant returned the gloves to Dean Lin, nodded sternly, and quickly turned to leave.
Dean Lin turned, put on the gloves, and began walking back to the laboratory, but before he had taken a few steps, his expression changed.
"No, the Black Demon Tiger is also in Meng Province. Such treasures have an extraordinarily strong allure for beasts. That creature will definitely head there!
We can't let this treasure fall into that beast's hands."
However, he also knew that ordinary extraordinary individuals couldn't withstand the Black Demon Tiger, and going there would only mean death.
Even a group of second-tier extraordinaries couldn't stop the Black Demon Tiger; this was a lesson learned from the event of besieging the Golden Eagle Race.
"Looks like only Lin Wu can act. Only Lin Wu is confident enough to resist or kill the Black Demon Tiger!"
Dean Lin's eyes revealed a deep determination as he made a decision.
Great Snow Mountain.
Jiang Che was reclining inside a cave, sound asleep.
By now, he had already completed his previous plan to sweep through the spiritual objects of the Great Snow Mountain.
In the depths of the cave lay pile after pile of snow, each containing a Spirit Fruit, whose shimmering spiritual light spilled forth, making each snowy mound shine brilliantly.
Nangong Luo, having consumed a Spirit Fruit, stood firmly on a large rock outside the cave, diligently practicing cultivation.
Since the last battle revealed his strength was noticeably inferior to the second brother, Nangong Luo had been training with even more dedication.
Little Zi stood by her feet, practicing the breathing technique taught by Nangong Luo, absorbing Spiritual Qi diligently, step by step.
"What's that?"
The treasure light piercing the sky caught Nangong Luo's attention immediately; she focused her gaze on the light column.
"A golden light column! This is the mark of a Spirit Treasure's emergence! The Heavenly Slayer Halberd! You have finally appeared!"
Nangong Luo was overjoyed, hurriedly ran into the cave, shook Jiang Che awake, and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, wake up! The Ancient Spiritual Treasure I told you about has finally emerged!"
