I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 673 - 493: Tonight, We All Died

Chapter 673: Chapter 493: Tonight, We All Died

The Little Mirage Dragon discovered the betrayal of Mr. Turtle and charged forward, wanting to bring the Undying Giant Turtle back.

The [Essence·Mirage Cloud Dragon] was at least a potential anomaly, capable of resisting the temptation of this rainwater.

But the Undying Giant Turtle couldn’t resist, swearing, “How dare you ruin Mr. Turtle’s business! Wahahaha!”

“Roar!”

“Mr. Turtle will eat you too, I’ve been coveting your dragon meat for a long time.”

The two anomalies frantically tussled together.

Soon, Mr. Turtle was flipped onto his back, turning into a giant ice chunk.

The Little Mirage Dragon panted heavily while dealing with the turtle, having lost a few gold scales that the turtle had bitten off.

“You should have let it go to its death…” Lu Yuan said, somewhat regretful, “Besides, it won’t die. Sending out a turtle could give us more information, how cost-effective.”

“Roar!” The Little Mirage Dragon shouted at Lu Yuan with full vigor, reprimanding him for being so dark and cunning as the Great Commander!

Lu Yuan made a disdainful noise, thinking this “Civilization Guardian” was too righteous. Didn’t it know that this turtle had betrayed many times? Letting it go to its death would be great.

“Old Cat, how’s the Lanpeng Civilization?”

Old Cat said helplessly, “There might be some chaos. Fortunately, the penetration ability of this rainwater isn’t strong. Once you wear protective clothing, it can be isolated, …we’re trying to collect some rainwater for various experiments.”

Lu Yuan nodded, letting out a light sigh.

Luckily, most people were hibernating, otherwise, the sudden rain might have driven many people mentally unstable.

This eerie place was becoming more dangerous.

…

“Your Highness! Everyone who got soaked in the rain has gone mad!”

The chaos in the Lanpeng Civilization was somewhat greater than the humans had anticipated.

The average level of Awakened humans was above level 4, yet the Awakened of the Lanpeng Civilization were only at levels 2-3.

The soldiers were fine, wearing power armor, but many researchers in buildings went mad upon smelling the rainwater and started charging towards the Snake-man Palace.

“Damn it… what is this rainwater?” Jin Bote hid inside his power armor, cold sweat dripping as he watched tens of thousands of crazed people rush forward.

“Quick! Capture them all!”

They were currently three thousand kilometers away from the Snake-man City, and trying to run there on foot would take more than ten days.

But many lunatics disappeared into the mist, vanishing into the thick night in the blink of an eye, as if some mysterious force had swallowed them whole including their bones.

By the time the Lanpeng people realized what was happening, two thousand people had disappeared, including soldiers, scientists, and ordinary workers.

“Your Highness, have we been attacked?”

“Everyone had a tracking device, but now we can’t find these missing people at all.” Faced with this bizarre scene, the Royal Guards were filled with fear, even their beaks were trembling.

The cries from the earpieces came one after another.

The soldiers looked in horror, as series of inexplicable bizarre events endlessly stimulated their nerves.

Jin Bote regretted deeply; they should have thick-skinnedly clung to the humans like molasses.

“All Awakened, wear protective clothing, do not contact the rainwater. Capture as many lunatics as possible and quickly tally the missing population.”

“What about the Hibernators? Any reactions?”

“No anomalies were found among the 7,999,000 Hibernators. They weren’t exposed to this rainwater, so they should be fine.”

Jin Bote let out a sigh of relief in his mind, as long as they survived… even if a few died, the majority would live, and that would be enough. All he could do now was pray and… stabilize the morale.

No, wait!!

An indescribable fear engulfed his heart.

His “Premonition” ability was passively triggered!

He saw vast darkness, endless space and time, and a suffocating feeling suddenly arose from his heart.

This suffocating feeling was like falling into the deep sea, with the terrifying water pressure from a 10,000-meter trench pressing from all sides…

The heart in his chest pounded wildly, yet no matter which direction he fled, he would face his death.

Tonight… they all died…

There were no… survivors!

…

Jin Bote came back to his senses, gasping for air, the “rustling” sound of the drizzle along with the soldiers’ shouts pulled him back to reality.

Under the threat of death, he was scared out of his wits, as the entire city had perished.

What kind of disaster was this?

How could they avoid this crisis?

Looking at the time again, it was now eight o’clock in the evening.

Perhaps there was still some survival time, but not much.

However, although the “Premonition” ability was powerful, it could not perceive the exact cause of death or find any supposed path to survival.

After thinking for a long time, he could only call the humans.

“Human friends, it’s me, Jin Bote… we have over two thousand people missing here.” Jin Bote said, feeling his heart racing.

“What?! How did that happen?! Capture them if they went crazy!” Lu Yuan was shocked, his hair standing on end, and the phone almost slipping from his hand.

Sending away those two thousand people, who knows what major accident might happen.

“No… some people ran into the mist and just disappeared immediately. We can’t catch them even if we want to.”

Lu Yuan’s face twitched as he exchanged glances with his companions.

Then, a possibility came to his mind.

This drizzle might be an attack from [Monster].

As per current understanding, [Monster] holds Spirit Manipulation ability.

It doesn’t possess strong combat power itself, hence needs to cultivate a bunch of minions to act as its hands.

Now, these out-of-control people might be Spirit Manipulated by [Monster], dropped into a deeper layer of Different Space.

“So, is this drizzle a power of [Monster]?” Old Cat’s eyes widened, muttering to itself, “But why are there no missing people on our side?”

It thought back to the long-ago battle with [Monster·Spirit Eye].

That was a tough game: grow too many eyes, and you would lose control mentally and fall into a deep space.

But this one, with just a drizzle…

Every [Monster]’s power was different, hence past experiences couldn’t be copy-pasted.

Lu Yuan frowned, “Could it be because… our people are slightly stronger, getting a small soak didn’t fully lose control, so [Monster] didn’t dare to attack.”

“No, we can’t jump to conclusions… first, let’s conduct some biological experiments on this rainwater to measure its specific characteristics… quickly now.”

Jin Bote hurriedly added, “I haven’t finished! I foresee, tonight, we all die…”

“This premonition is strong!”

Lu Yuan felt his scalp tingle at those words, yet coldly replied on the surface, “Even the Hibernators got wiped out?”

“Yes, no one survived. Our Lanpeng Civilization might not survive this calamity, your side, I’m not sure.”

Others were also shocked by his statement, their faces turning pale, even their breath halted.

“Why… why?”

Jin Bote couldn’t explain further, “I only know there’s danger! A dark fog enshrouds the city, and then we’re all annihilated!”

[Monster]’s combat strength wasn’t high, it was very difficult to obliterate the Lanpeng Civilization overnight.

Only [Ghost] possessed such power.

Could it be that [Monster] actively released [Ghost]?

“No, that’s very unlikely,” Lu Tiantian analyzed, “We are valuable assets, after all; [Monster] wouldn’t hand over this asset to [Ghost] for nothing.”

“After all, [Monster] isn’t in any hurry to deal with us, why rush for one night?”

“The only possibility is that [Monster]’s control over [Ghost] isn’t strong… it couldn’t stop [Ghost]’s activities.”

He looked at the eerie Snake-man City, the satellite in the sky, observing without any dead spot around the clock.

The resplendent Snake-man Palace, the uncanny pool, the sleeping Snake-man, every place exuded a sense of unease.

“I see… [Ghost] is indeed about to revive,” Lu Tiantian’s eyes brightened, “This drizzle is likely [Monster]’s urgent collection method before [Ghost]’s full revival.”

“[Monster] has indeed been very patient, not acting for so many days. But since [Ghost] is about to revive, to prevent losses, it has to take action and harvest a part of the population.”

“Those two thousand Lanpeng people were taken by a drizzle. With our means, I’m afraid there’s no chance of rescue.”

“If my reasoning holds, tonight [Ghost] might really climb out.”

Jin Bote panicked in his heart, unwilling, unwilling to just die like this. They were the Lanpeng Civilization, destined to shine in this world, were they really going to capsize here?

“Do we have to drink this rainwater to avoid being harvested by [Ghost]?”

“Could drinking this rainwater be a good thing?”

Lu Yuan’s eyes focused, “Don’t panic, first do experiments on the rainwater, maintain communication at all times… communicate any news… Jin Bote, don’t panic! Panic and nothing can be done.”

Jin Bote understood the subtext of Lu Yuan’s words and shouted, “Yes! We can find a way to survive! Please study the characteristics of the rainwater!”

The ability of the “Agitator” was activated.

Not only the Lanpeng people, but even the humans on the Communicator were pacified.

In Green Mountain, in the small cave of various laboratories, the lights were bright as scientists immediately started experimenting.

Lu Yuan also, under enormous pressure, came before the Tree of Life.

The human body was too weak.

He originally didn’t want to use the Greedy Demon God, but if [Ghost] was really reviving now, there was no need to hide it.

“Even if it’s not an opponent, we can at least fight for a while.”
