Chapter 28: After the Battle, Sigh, The City Lord Calls!
It was dawn.
The citizens of Golden Flower City saw the sun again, but no one cheered. This was because too many people in Golden Flower City had sacrificed too much tonight!
Mu Xuan stood beside Chen Kang's corpse and sighed slightly. His former deskmate couldn't survive in the end and died under the poison of the Black Poison Spider.
Beside Chen Kang's corpse were the corpses of Mu Xuan's classmates, Xu Li and Zhao Yingying.
In the distance, there were more people who were heavily injured. Wails and cries kept coming.
Further away were the lightly injured patients who were silently enduring. There were no extra beds, not even seats. They could only sit on the ground in the open air and wait to be treated by the medical beast tamers.
Then, Mu Xuan arrived at a special ward, Lin Xuanye's ward.
"Principal…" When he saw Lin Xuanye, Mu Xuan was stunned. Lin Xuanye, the principal of Ninth High School, had a pale expression. Moreover, he had actually lost his right arm!
"Mu Xuan, you're here." Lin Susu's eyes were red. Clearly, she had just finished crying.
"Teacher, the principal…" Mu Xuan whispered.
Lin Susu sniffed and said, "Grandpa's beasts have all been sacrificed, and he even lost his right arm. He lost too much blood and almost… The doctor said that the rest will depend on Grandpa's own willpower. It's very likely that he won't wake up forever!"
"How could this be!" Mu Xuan said in surprise.
"The Golden Armored Flame Dragon is too strong, too strong. Grandpa is only an overlord-level beast tamer…" Lin Susu sighed. As she spoke, she handed Mu Xuan a golden-red fruit. It was actually the Dragon Blood Fruit!
"Grandpa wanted to tell you that he brought this Dragon Blood Fruit back for you safely!"
"…"
Mu Xuan didn't know how he ended up walking out of the temporary hospital. At this moment, he finally felt the cruelty of this era. Injuries and deaths had always existed. The weak had no right to avoid this!
Mu Xuan said fiercely, "I hate this freaking world!"
"Me too!" A familiar voice sounded behind Mu Xuan. It was actually the principal of First High, Xu Zhengqing!
"Principal Xu, you're alright? Great!" Mu Xuan said in surprise. Mu Xuan had a good impression of this Principal Xu. The other party was the first to stand up and choose to die calmly!
Xu Zhengqing shook his head and sighed. "I was just lucky to have survived…"
Mu Xuan was immediately silent. Then, he asked about the situation of the principal of Fifth High, Hua Qingwei. Xu Zhengqing told Mu Xuan that Hua Qingwei was slightly injured. After receiving some treatment, the other party rushed back to Fifth High to preside over school affairs.
"By the way, here's your Dragon Blood Fruit!" Xu Zhengqing was a little glad. "If not for your three Dragon Blood Fruits, it would probably be very difficult for our Golden Flower City to survive this beast tide…"
Mu Xuan reached out to take the Dragon Blood Fruit and didn't stand on ceremony. This was a rare spiritual fruit worth ten million yuan each. In his previous life, it would be worth a top-notch luxury car like the Bugatti Veyron. It was priceless!
To be honest, Mu Xuan was also very surprised to be able to take back three Dragon Blood Fruits. Last night, he thought that it would be pretty good if he could take back one.
He didn't expect the situation to be better than he imagined.
"Next is to raise resources for the Little Cat to evolve!" Mu Xuan secretly planned. Because it contained a trace of the Void Myriad Tribulation Dragon's bloodline, the direction of the Spatial Polecat was naturally to evolve into a dragon. The Dragon Blood Fruit was the main evolution resource.
However, before Mu Xuan could return home, a pair of city guards stopped him. "Hello, is this Student Mu Xuan? The City Lord wants to see you!"
"City Lord wants to see me?" Mu Xuan was stunned for a moment before understanding. That City Lord probably knew about the use of the Dragon Blood Fruit. It looked like the Little Cat's evolution resources could be gathered!
The City Lord Manor was located in the center of Golden Flower City, but it wasn't the magnificent manor villa Mu Xuan imagined, but three buildings. It turned out that the City Lord Manor was equivalent to the city government on Blue Planet in his previous life, but because of the demon beast relationship, every city's City Lord Manor had a certain amount of autonomy.
Soon, Mu Xuan saw the City Lord of Golden Flower City, Lu Xiaotian, the legendary leader of the three beast king-level experts of Golden Flower City!
Lu Xiaotian was a middle-aged man with an easygoing expression. He was about 40 years old. He said warmly to Mu Xuan, "Student Mu Xuan, I only knew after the beast tide ended that you were the greatest contributor to our Golden Flower City defeating the beast tide!"
Mu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and smiled. "City Lord, you're overestimating me. I'm just doing my best!"
Lu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Student Mu Xuan, there's no need to be humble. Our Golden Flower City upholds the principle of reward and punishment. Your three Dragon Blood Fruits basically reversed the entire battle. This is an undeniable contribution. I'll naturally reward you!"
After a moment of thought, Lu Xiaotian said, "In addition, I heard that your first beast is an ice-element life form, the Ice Crystal Spirit. Your second beast is even a rare spatial beast? Considering that the college entrance examination is coming and that you're the most outstanding student in our Golden Flower City, I'll lend you a hand!"
As he spoke, Lu Xiaotian got his servants to bring over several wooden plates. They were filled with various resources, making Mu Xuan extremely happy.
"The four ice-element resources here are enough to help your Ice Crystal Spirit cultivate to commander level 9!" Lu Xiaotian pointed at the introduction of the resources on the first wooden plate.
Mu Xuan's gaze swept over. They were respectively the Ten Thousand Year Cold Crystal, the Ten Thousand Year Snow Essence, the Thousand Year Cold Crystal Grass, and the Ice Dragon Blood Essence. They were all suitable for the cultivation of the Ice Crystal Spirit, and were even enough for its advancement.
[Ten Thousand Year Cold Crystal]
Applicable range: Ice, Snow, Water…
Introduction: An ore produced by the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Crystal Mine in the Frost Mystic Realm. It contains extremely rich ice elemental power!
[Ten Thousand Year Snow Spirit]
Applicable range: Ice, Snow, Water…
Introduction: A strange stone condensed from the Arctic Snow Mountain in the Frost Mystic Realm. It contains extremely rich snow elemental power!
[Thousand Year Cold Crystal Grass]
Applicable range: Ice, Snow, Water…
Introduction: The Cold Crystal Grass grows on the North Pole Snow Mountain in the Frost Mystic Realm. After a thousand years of growth, there is extremely rich ice power contained inside of it!
[Ice Dragon Blood Essence]
Applicable range: Ice, Snow, Water, Dragon…
Introduction: The blood essence of the frost dragon living in the Frost Mystic Realm. It contains extremely rich ice dragon power!
When Mu Xuan glanced at the information panel of the four resources, he couldn't help but wonder. The four resources came from the same mystic realm. Could this be a special mystic realm controlled by the City Lord?!
There were only two things on the second wooden plate, but Lu Xiaotian seemed to be a little more serious about them. "This is the spatial resource I've carefully collected in the past ten years. Unfortunately, I've never encountered a spatial beast. I might as well… give it to you!"
"This is the Space Mulberry Spirit Wood Branch, and this is a spatial crystal. They all contain powerful spatial power and are the best advancement resources for spatial beasts…"
Mu Xuan looked at the two items and surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.
