After Meng Chao finished speaking, the underground cave fell into huge silence again.

Only the rumbling sound of digging and the dense footsteps above the rock formations became louder and louder in the silence.

This was the sound of one, no, several mechanized troops approaching the underground cave from all directions.

Because the targets to be arrested this time are most likely two powerful men in the divine realm.

Except for Meng Chao, who had a totem armor for body protection, who came forward, the pursuers did not rush in rashly.

Instead, a solid and tight defense line was set up around the cave in an attempt to minimize collateral damage.

Regardless, the dragnet has been laid.

The founder and successor of the New Blood Alliance can no longer escape.

The gray-haired office worker was silent for about half a minute.

Finally, he sighed softly, slowly stretched out his hand, and wiped it on his face, wiping down a layer of something as thin as a cicada's wings.

His facial features suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes.

From an ordinary office worker, to a face that is often seen on the front pages of major media outlets by all Longcheng citizens, that childlike face with white hair and gentle face is quite similar to Lu Siya.

However, even though Meng Chao's identity was exposed and he was surrounded by a large army, Lu Zhongqi's face did not show much frustration and despair.

Instead, he was filled with a sense of relief, and every pore on his face exuded the sigh of "It's finally over."

"It's useless, Yun Feidian."

Lu Zhongqi shook his head at Yun Feidian, who was still tense and trying to resist, "We have completely lost this round. If we continue to struggle, it will only be to use your blood to smear Meng Chao's medal even more brilliantly."

.

"Come with me, sit down and rest for a while. I have worked really hard on you in the past few years!"

As he spoke, Lu Zhongqi lightly snapped his fingers.

He is Dragon City's leading spar expert and prospector, and his rock manipulation skills are more delicate and mature than Lu Siya's.

Along with his movements, the seemingly hard-as-iron ground made a "sand" sound.

The rocks turned into gravel, and the gravel turned into fine sand and dust. The sand and dust spewed out like spring water, and behind him, Yun Feidian and Meng Chao, they formed three three-dimensional geometric chairs with extremely exquisite structures.

.

When the seat was formed, the sand and dust reconvened, condensed, crystallized, and turned back into a shiny rock.

Lu Zhongqi made a "please" gesture to Meng Chao.

Meng Chao pondered for a moment, then walked to the rock seat shaped by Lu Zhongqi and sat down on it.

Yun Fei bit his cheek tightly, his teeth chattering, as if he was chewing the flesh and blood of a monster that did not exist. The flames spurting from his eyes kept swirling, turning into two bottomless whirlpools.

He looked at Lu Zhongqi, then at Meng Chao, and sat down without saying a word.

"Do you know what this is?"

Lu Zhongqi spread his palms, sucked up an ordinary small stone from the ground, held it in his palm and squeezed it gently. It immediately crushed it into pieces, and the stone powder leaked out from between his fingers.

However, the leaked stone powder was integrated into his spiritual energy, and they rubbed against each other at super high speeds, emitting faint fluorescence, but outlined a criss-cross, intricate, and slowly nested three-dimensional runes in the darkness.

Meng Chao frowned slightly.

Lu Zhongqi's question is really too simple.

"This is the Spirit Gathering Talisman, one of the most basic and important talisman arrays discovered when humans explored ancient ruins. Its function is to collect trace amounts of spiritual elements floating in the air and earth, stimulate the activity of human cells, and promote the production of growth hormone.

Secreted to help humans awaken to extraordinary power."

Meng Chao paused and did not say the second half of the sentence, "This is something that all primary school students know."

"Yes, this is indeed the Soul Gathering Talisman. It is one of the most basic and important talisman arrays for Dragon City Civilization. There is not even a "one"."

Lu Zhongqi said, "It is precisely by relying on the Soul Gathering Talisman that mankind has awakened so many extraordinary beings in just a few decades. To this day, more than 5% of mankind have more or less glimpsed the mysteries of the extraordinary realm.

"Without the Soul Gathering Talisman, mankind's journey to explore the extraordinary realm would be destined to be much longer and more difficult. Maybe only 4%, 3%, 2% or even 1% of people would be able to become extraordinary.

"You should know what that means - Dragon City has been able to stumble to this day only because of the unremitting efforts of the extraordinary people. If the number of extraordinary people is reduced by one-third or even half, we are destined to be unable to win the monster war. The entire

All civilizations will be destroyed.

"But, Meng Chao, do you know the specific process of humans discovering the Soul Gathering Talisman?

"At that time, the ancient stone slab with the spirit-gathering talisman engraved on it was buried at the bottom of gap No. 322 deep in the ancient ruins.

"Around Gap 322, there are traps everywhere. There are snakes, insects, rats and ants carrying the ancient virus everywhere. There are mysterious whispers called 'The Call of the Ancient' everywhere. It is the most dangerous place in the entire ruins.

one.

"People who rashly explore deep into the gap of No. 322 are either trapped by ancient but advanced mechanisms, cut into pieces of meat the size of dice, or even evaporated into balls of hot human-shaped blood mist.

"He was bitten by snakes, insects, rats, and ants, infected with the ancient virus, and became a deformed, ugly, irrational, and dehumanized zombie.

"Otherwise, you will be attracted by the 'call of the ancient times' and plunge headlong into the winding underground cracks, into the unfathomable darkness, never to return, and become one with the darkness.

"At least hundreds of explorers have been buried in Gap 322 before and after, but they have not been able to map out 50% of the three-dimensional structure of Gap 322.

"If the nine super corporations, the Azure Alliance, the Red Dragon Army, or any 'light, justice, kindness, and benevolence' organization had been responsible for the exploration operation at that time, the exploration of Gap 322 would not have been possible.

Go down.

"No organization has the ability to sacrifice hundreds of lives and continue to sacrifice hundreds or more lives without changing its expression.

"No organization can withstand the volcanic outpouring of anger and doubts from the relatives and friends of those who died.

"No organization can afford to pay the pensions of these victims and provide the public with a reasonable explanation as to why gap 322 was explored.

"After all, exploring ancient ruins is like opening a blind box.

"Every gap in the depths of the ruins is a brand new blind box.

"No one knows what the next blind box will reveal until dozens, hundreds or even more precious lives are filled in - it may be a major discovery that can change history and save civilization, or it may be,

Nothing at all.

"If it were you who was in charge of the exploration operation, Meng Chao, after nearly a hundred lives have been filled in but nothing has been found, can you, dare you, are you willing to fill in gap 322 with hundreds more lives?
