About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

It was an unremarkable mound of earth.

Besides the dark red sand, there were only tree roots that had withered and died untold years ago.

Several of them had actually become jade, forming blood-red jade trees.

If it were in Mingxi’s previous life, even if they weren't priceless, they would definitely be considered treasures.

“Luo Luo.”

“As.”

Little Silver Flower and Black Pearl, the two highly curious ones, had each claimed a jade tree.

They touched here, rubbed there, and even wanted to slap them.

“Black Pearl, don't move your claws yet!”

Mingxi noticed its actions and quickly spoke to stop it.

Black Pearl’s claws froze in mid-air, and it tilted its head: “As?”

“Hmm, I think these jade trees are a bit strange, so don't touch them yet.”

Mingxi was thinking about the formation principle of jade trees, which are petrified wood.

Generally, it's because trees encounter natural disasters like fires and are quickly buried underground.

Under high pressure, anaerobic, and low-temperature conditions, the carbon elements in the scorched tree trunks are replaced by SiO2 (silicon dioxide), forming silicified wood.

After a long geological period, the silicified wood undergoes metamorphism, transforming into opal and chalcedony, forming colorful petrified jade.

Mingxi squatted down and caressed the dark red sand.

“This environment can produce so much petrified wood? And they’re lined up here so openly? Are they trying to fool idiots!”

Guangguang also said: “Master, your idea should be correct. These jade trees are ninety-nine percent likely to be traps. Moving or damaging them will very likely lead to death.”

Hearing this, Little Silver Flower and Black Pearl, as well as the restless Bright Crystal, all retracted their claws simultaneously.

Mingxi glanced at the three sneaky ones, thinking that curiosity kills the cat.

If the situation hadn't been so pressing, she wouldn't have bothered to remind them.

One learns from experience, after all.

“Guangguang, didn't you say there was an isolation type item here? Can you find it?”

If Golden Yuanbao were here, she could have him use his Heavenly Eye to look.

“Master, please wait, I’ll try.”

Guangguang began to walk around the small mound, circling it again and again.

Muttering to himself.

If it didn't lack a compass and a peach wood sword, Mingxi would have thought it was possessed by a Taoist priest.

A moment later...

“Master, it’s right here. Through deduction, that tree root should be the illusionary form of that item.”

Mingxi followed its guidance to an old tree root that had been weathered into a charcoal red.

She put on her gloves and touched it.

Of course, there was no change whatsoever.

It wouldn't be that simple.

¬ _ ¬ ｀

So she performed for everyone a Lin Daiyu pulling out a weeping willow.

“Ha—”

“Boom—”

“Crack, crack...”

Mingxi, the six pets including Little Silver Flower, and Guangguang, all widened their eyes in unison!

Where was the small mound now? It was clearly a fortress cast from steel and stone.

“It’s a warehouse!”

Mingxi and Guangguang exchanged a knowing glance again, both seeing the sudden gleam in each other's eyes.

“Let’s go!”

With Little Silver Flower's Holy Light Guard and Red Jade's Absolute Barrier clearing a safe path for scouting.

One person, one mechanical Beast Tamers, and six pets entered as if into an uninhabited land, effortlessly destroying the automatic defense turrets on the outer perimeter of the fortress.

They violently tore open the heavy alloy gate and entered the metal fortress.

The sight inside made even Mingxi, who had seen much, gasp!

Mountains of energy crystals glowed with various colors!

Whole crates marked “Forbidden” and “Highly Concentrated”!

Rows of rare materials sealed in special containers, some even faintly pulsating!

And a large number of strangely shaped technological creations and items that Mingxi had only seen in the Silver Radiance Group’s top-secret files!

“My heavens... how many billions must this be worth?”

One of Guangguang’s AI eyes went straight, and drool almost flowed from its eye.

“Has the Descent Organization moved all their assets to Blood Moon?”

“Not their assets, it should be their armory and resource transfer station!”

Although Mingxi was equally excited, she calmed down very quickly.

“Blood Moon exists within the Shadow Abyss. To others, it’s just the moon, and no one has ever suspected that it’s not the moon we know.

Even if someone did suspect, it would be difficult to enter. The timing and methods are all stumbling blocks on the path to the truth.

Plus, this warehouse also has an illusion array set up outside.

I have to say, this is indeed an excellent material storage station.”

Although there are spatial items these days, even SSS-grade spatial items have limited volume.

After all, not everyone can possess a cheat like the Time Realm.

And it also involves issues like profit distribution and resource sharing.

If all items are placed in a spatial item, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) who will be responsible for its safekeeping?

The big boss of the organization?

Even ancient emperors, as the co-rulers of the land and the sovereign of the people, had no right to privately use the national treasury.

The leader of a large organization is the same.

Any organization, first and foremost, cannot be maintained by social connections.

Only profit is the most secure guarantee for everyone.

The most important resources in an organization cannot possibly be held by one person.

It easily leads to a crisis of trust.

Therefore, Longhua Country has its national treasury, the Elder Council has its private treasury, and the Golden Radiance and Silver Radiance Groups have their resource exchange libraries.

These are all tangible, large-scale structures.

Spatial items?

They don't exist.

What can be seen is what truly reassures the community of interests.

“Hehe, isn’t this convenient for you, Master?”

Guangguang is just an AI, but if it had flesh and blood, it would surely be shedding tears of envy right now.

Its Master was simply too lucky!

Mingxi shook her head: “Except for the materials that Golden Yuanbao and the others can use, I plan to hand over the rest to the country.”

There were too many things here that she couldn't use publicly.

For example, strategic war resources.

What would she do with them? Use them to conquer cities and seize territory?

She truly had no ambition to be an empress!

So, it would be better to hand them over to the country for handling.

This would not only enhance the overall strength of Dragonflower Country but also provide samples for scientists, expanding their ideas.

Although the Descent Organization acted crazily and without limits, many of their technologies were indeed at the forefront of the world.

Even those chaotic pet evolution methods and Beast Tamers’ fusion-based enhancement methods were not without merit.

It was just that the processes and outcomes were too bloody, resulting in too many sacrifices.

They went against ethics, social morality, and laws, which is why they were not tolerated by the world. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Mingxi would not entirely deny anything.

Just like the Yin Yang Coffin’s 【Refining the Dross to Preserve the Essence】, any dross could be refined into essence.

But I’ve strayed too far.

In short, Mingxi planned to contribute most of the things here.

Cough, no choice.

She was just such a selfless beautiful girl.
