Capítulo 788: Chapter 790 Crystal Stone Appears
“It’s not an illusion, your perception is very sensitive,” Nian Shutong used his chopsticks to point at the food on the dining table. “Eat up, here it’s just food.”
“The Professor Nian is right.”
Professor Zhou himself picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and started to eat.
The others also began to eat their meals, but this time the experience felt different.
The food they had eaten had the capacity to restore their cultivation and speed up their cultivation process.
It turned out that their smooth progress in cultivation was directly related to these foods.
It turned out that the real strength of Little River Live lay here.
The boss was indeed the boss; such a significant matter, and he had only revealed it now.
In fact, it wasn’t that Nian Shutong had just mentioned it, but rather the seeds sold didn’t have such powerful effects and were almost negligible. However, products grown on the Blue Star showed clear healing properties.
Those living on the Blue Star felt the effects most acutely.
The residents who arrived later, naturally having ordinary talents, experienced marked improvements in their physical conditions after living on the Blue Star for a long time.
While it might not be possible to transform a person from an F-rank to an S-rank talent directly, improving to a B-rank was certainly possible.
Perhaps this potential wasn’t visible now, but what if these residents got married and had children?
What would the talents of their next generation be?
What about a child who has lived on the Blue Star from a young age, what would their talent look like?
This was the terrifying aspect of Blue Star; their descendants wouldn’t decline due to the greatness of the previous generation. Instead, thanks to this land, they would become stronger and stronger.
The group continued eating, and today’s meal was exceptionally clean.
It wasn’t that their usual meals were not clean, but there would usually be a bit of leftover soup. Today, however, they had finished even the soup.
Nian Shutong nodded and said, “It feels like there’s no need to wash the dishes.”
She joked as she collected the dishes and chopsticks, while the other four went back to battle training, but this time, Ma Lei also joined them.
SSS-rank protectors were rare training partners after all.
So, Ma Lei simply joined in, and Lian Qing followed too, even reaching the brink of advancing to the next level through real combat.
“Master, the Crystal Stone is here.”
The message from the little white mouse made Nian Shutong look at the area in front of her.
It was a lake, a red lake.
This red had no beauty because there wasn’t a single ripple on the surface; the color was that of deep red blood and it emitted an indescribable smell.
It was hard not to wonder whether this was actually a lake of blood.
“Xiao Bai, is it at the bottom of the lake?”
“Yes, master.”
Nian Shutong looked at the lake before her and suddenly wished there was a fish among the Zodiac Beasts.
What to do now?
“None of you happen to be good at diving, right?”
Nian Shutong asked in Divine Sense, and Jing Bai was the first to respond, “Besides Red Crown who can’t swim, the rest of us can swim, but diving is another story.”
“Actually, Boss Long could do it.”
“Nonsense!”
The ten beasts started arguing.
“Alright, quiet down, all of you.”
Nian Shutong immediately intervened, her head was buzzing from the incessant noise.
Now, what should be done? It seemed that she was the only one who could go down there.
Nian Shutong called to a few people in front of her and said, “We’ll stay here for the night.”
After she spoke, the people in front listened and obeyed, with none questioning why.
Nian Shutong took out the camping gear and instructed a few people to set up the tents.
She, on the other hand, held a Crystal Stone in the palm of her hand, continually absorbing its power in an attempt to relieve the damage caused by the Gravity Room.
The night quickly passed, and Nian Shutong’s strength had roughly recovered to sixty percent.
To be cautious, Nian Shutong had the Zodiac Beasts take four people for some live combat practice in the surroundings, while she continued to recover.
By evening, looking at the sunset across the lake, Nian Shutong felt she had to go down.
Because the twilight sky was too red, unnaturally red.
“Jing Bai, I’m going down into the lake, keep an eye on the surface for me.”
“Understood, master. Who will you take with you?”
Nian Shutong pondered this question and ultimately decided to take Xiao Bai, the Little Black Rabbit, the Stripe Tiger, and the Little Silver Snake. They all transformed into statues and were taken by Nian Shutong in her Space Ring.
Once she was prepared, Nian Shutong said to Professor Zhou, “I need to go into the lake, it might be quick, it might be slow. You all should leave the Insect Clan Battlefield first.”
“Professor Zhou, look at that twilight sky, there’s an anomaly, and I feel it’s not a good omen on the Insect Clan Battlefield.”
Professor Zhou also noticed this and nodded gravely, “Rest assured, I will take the students and wait for you outside.”
“We will wait for you by the Border City’s gate.”
“Alright, be careful. The other Zodiac Beasts will ensure your safety. Once you get to the city gates, just go on out. The Zodiac Beasts will wait for me at the edge inside.”
Professor Zhou wasted no time, leading several students and Ma Lei, aside from Jing Bai, as all the other Zodiac Beasts escorted them out of the battlefield.
Finally, only Jing Bai and Lian Qing were left by the lake, with Nian Shutong ready to descend.
At the same time, many noticed the anomaly here, and most people chose to return to Border City. However, some others were moving against the tide—those from the Legion.
Fu Yunhe was among this Legion, their primary task being to kill larger Insect Beasts, preventing them from developing excessively and advancing into human territory.
This Border City was their current mission, and of course, if they found Crystal Stones during the killing process, they were required to report them.
At this moment, Nian Shutong had already prepared her defenses, surrounded by a bubble of Spiritual Energy. She walked inside the bubble, which not only remained intact but also moved forward step by step, gradually reaching the middle of the lake.
“There must be Beast protectors in here.”
“Master, you don’t need to reason it out, I’m telling you, they are really here.”
This prompted Nian Shutong to stretch her arms out, and a green vine appeared.
“Daodao, it’s been a while since we’ve fought, haven’t you missed it?”
“Actually, life’s been quite interesting for me. The world on the Light Computer is really—ouch! Master, why are you hitting me!”
“Why do you think I’m hitting you.”
The playful banter between person and vine came to an immediate halt.
Because ripples flashed across the water surface, and then something began to protrude from the center, with the surrounding water cascading downwards like a small waterfall.
“It’s coming!”
Nian Shutong’s injuries had recovered to sixty, at most seventy percent, but that was enough for her.
Because she was a Cultivator.
Just as an unknown Insect Beast was about to emerge, Nian Shutong’s Crystal Stone, coupled with Daodao’s vines, formed a net that waited in the air above the lake.
The battle was about to be won.
