Chapter 426 – Earth Spirit

Lin Donghui’s silhouette undulated as fireballs shot out from his Radiant Sun and bombarded the opponent.

Liu Feng was the most agile. His speed was extremely fast and the stone thorns on the mountain walls were not as fast as him. He could always use the stone thorns as a foothold and borrow strength from them. At the same time, he pulled the Blue Silver Grass to make Lan Xuanyu ascend.

Everyone remained calm and collected in the face of these stone thorns.

At this moment, they were less than 100 meters away from the peak and about 300 meters above the ground.

“Frenzie, go up,” Lan Xuanyu shouted.

The stone thorns continued to break under their attacks but continued to charge out. After a short period of adaptation, these stone thorns were no longer a threat to them.

With Tang Yuge as a fixed point and Liu Feng pulling at them from above, everyone wouldn’t fall. Tang Yuge also began to climb up quickly. As long as she was there, those stone thorns wouldn’t attack them at all. She continued to climb up and chased after Liu Feng. At the same time, she also used the Blue Silver Grass to pull the others.

The others relied on the attacks from the stone thorns to continuously move and were not injured by any of them.

Very soon, the peak of the mountain was within sight.

Liu Feng’s figure flashed and just as he was about to land on the mountain peak, a huge rock suddenly fell from the sky and smashed straight towards his head.

This huge rock was over a cubic meter in size and was extremely heavy. It came very suddenly with a whistling sound.

At this crucial moment, Liu Feng did not panic at all. He thrust out the White Dragon Spear in his hand and spewed out a light from the tip of the spear. He tapped on the stone and caused it to pause for a moment. At the same time, Liu Feng used the force to rebound and bounced outwards. His entire body spun in the air and he was already on top of the stone. It was Return of The White Dragon.

He tapped the rock with his toes and pushed it to the side so as not to hurt his teammates. At the same time, he rose higher than the peak.

When he surpassed the peak, he was shocked.

On the mountain peak, stone golems that were over six meters tall were glaring at him.

These rock golems didn’t have limbs, and their entire bodies were made up of boulders. They didn’t have any facial features, but Liu Feng could clearly sense their malicious intent.

A low dragon roar resounded as numerous white scales appeared on Liu Feng’s body. His entire body lit up with a white light as he shot towards the peak.

Those rock golems immediately charged towards him, and over ten gigantic figures pounced towards him amidst the rumbling sounds.

But at this moment, Liu Feng fully displayed his speed. His figure flickered and looked phantasmal. He was like a white stream of light as he shuttled between these rock golems. At the same time, the White Dragon Spear in his hand left marks on their bodies as rock powder splattered everywhere.

It wasn’t to injure the enemy but to attract their attention so that these rock golems wouldn’t attack their partners.

As it turned out, these rock golems had very low intelligence and seemed to only have some basic instincts. After sensing Liu Feng’s existence, they chased after him continuously and even collided with each other, causing boulders to roll down their bodies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Yuge climbed up. When she saw those stone giants, she was taken aback and quickly pulled the Blue Silver Grass to bring the others to the top of the mountain.

At this moment, those stone golems were still chasing after Liu Feng. When they arrived at the peak, there were no more stone thorns.

“Senior sister, what’s going on?” Lan Xuanyu looked at Tang Yuge. From the fact that these rock golems didn’t attack her, she seemed to have some understanding of these rock golems.

“They seem to be Earth Spirits.” Tang Yuge furrowed her brows, then glanced at Lan Xuanyu and said, “Didn’t you call me Yuge quite smoothly just now? Just call me by my name.”

Lan Xuanyu asked awkwardly, “What is an Earth Spirit?”

Tang Yuge said, “It’s a spirit of earth elements. You saw those life spirits around the Eternity Tree in the academy, right? When a type of energy is rich to the extreme, it has the possibility of giving birth to spiritual sentience, just like the time when we humans first got intelligence for the first time.”

“Generally speaking, this type of elemental spirit only has the most basic awareness and doesn’t have any intelligence. This Resource Planet is almost made up of all sorts of minerals. There are metal elements in these minerals, but most of them are definitely earth elements. I didn’t expect that an Earth Spirit would appear. Those rocks were mobilized by the Earth Spirits. This should be their territory. When we outsiders come here, they will naturally attack instinctively.”

At this point, Tang Yuge narrowed her eyes. “I’ll try to communicate with them. The earth element is the most stable among the five elements, but it is also the most inert. It is almost impossible to produce an Earth Spirit. I didn’t expect that there would be one here. This place is actually very suitable for my cultivation.”

As she spoke, she leaped up and charged out. With a few leaps, she jumped onto the shoulder of a rock golem.

The strange thing was that the rock golem didn’t seem to reject her at all, as though it didn’t feel anything and allowed her to squat on its shoulder.

Tang Yuge placed a hand on the rock golem’s head and the yellow light on her body surged. Her eyes also emitted a crystal yellow light.

The rock golem that was chasing after Liu Feng stopped and stood there in a daze.

After a moment, the rock golem suddenly squatted down and used its arms that were formed from boulders to pound the ground a few times, producing “peng peng” sounds.

The other rock golems’ movements slowed down at first, then they gradually stopped and gathered towards that rock golem.

“Amazing, senior sister seems to be able to communicate with rock golems!” Lin Donghui exclaimed.

He was also an elemental controller, but he had never interacted directly with fire elements before.

Lan Xuanyu was also a little envious. He could vaguely guess that the reason why Tang Yuge was able to communicate with these Earth Spirits was probably because she had all five elements. The five elements were able to give birth to a super strong ability like the Great Five Elements Divine Light, which allowed her elemental affinity to be much higher than him and Lin Donghui, who controlled the elements.

To be able to become the top student among the third years, Tang Yuge’s abilities were not simple. The reason they could win in the competition was mostly due to luck.

A moment later, Tang Yuge jumped off the rock golem and returned to her teammates.

Her expression was grave. “Xuanyu, the situation doesn’t seem too good.”

Lan Xuanyu: “What’s the general situation?”

Tang Yuge said, “This planet is indeed a low ranked planet, but its single element is extremely rich. It is a twin core planet.”

“Twin-core?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.

Tang Yuge said, “The so-called twin-core means that it has two cores at the same time. Generally speaking, high-level planets have a single core. This is from an energy point of view. Also, for high-level planets or planes, a single core must have a life core as its core. It’s the same for our Mother Planet. The Eternity Tree represents our life core and thus, the entire planet is filled with life energy. It can give birth to all sorts of life.”

“And in the universe, there are many planets with other elements as its core. They don’t exist in a high level one, but they have their own unique characteristics. For example, the star that we call the sun is a single core planet of the fire element. The fire element is extremely dense and possesses an extremely strong destructive energy. This star is also a representative of a single core planet. And this Resource Planet that we are on, the rank of the planet itself, is considered relatively low in the universe. But it is a twin-core planet and is formed by the earth and metal elements.”

“The earth element is thick and the metal element sharp. These two elements formed the core of the entire planet. After countless years of reproduction, due to the richness of these two elements, the spirit of these elements were born. What we are facing is the spirit of the earth element. But they are still very hostile towards us. They don’t have any intelligence, but they have instincts. When the exploration team of the Federation arrived here, they used some unknown method to open up a place to expel these spirits of the elements and at the same time, they mined the planet. And in the process of mining, it is equivalent to weakening this planet. The spirits of the earth and metal elements would then naturally be hostile towards us, but they are too weak compared to us humans. They have almost no intelligence and only have instincts. They can only resist occasionally because they felt our appearance and this caused them to be hostile towards us.”

At this point, Tang Yuge furrowed her brows and said, “In a sense, we can be considered as invaders. And for the Federation’s interests, the continuous exploitation of this planet in the future will probably cause a large loss of the earth and metal elements here,maybe even causing these two types of spirits to disappear.”

After saying that, Tang Yuge’s expression became a little sad. She was a controller of the five elements and had a lot of feelings for them. And the two cores here were two of her five elements.
