CHAPTER 1345: CHAPTER 1346: THE SOURCE OF ABNORMALITY

"Thank you, and sorry for earlier..."

Looking at Feng Yuan, the man didn’t know how to explain. Even though he misunderstood Feng Yuan, a mistake is a mistake. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"It’s nothing, really. But has everyone been rescued now?"

Although he and Agunas had searched beneath Honite Snow Mountain, he wasn’t certain if anyone else was still trapped on the mountain. The man shook his head and said,

"They were just accidents. There are still many climbers unaccounted for. We’ve already applied to the Alliance for a wide-area call and location tracking."

In reality, even here, their phones could still make normal calls. It’s just that Drochkar didn’t have their phone numbers and couldn’t contact them actively. However, considering that many people might be in trouble and unable to answer, they applied for location tracking.

As for applying directly for tracking without notifying? Although it’s possible, it could easily lead to criticism, so Drochkar didn’t do it.

"Location tracking? Speaking of which, is it not done yet over there?"

Feng Yuan looked at Agunas curiously and asked, questioning the efficiency of those Divine Beasts. Flicking its tail, Agunas said,

"They have already pinpointed the source. It’s a Dynasty Era relic device, and its detection extraction device has already entered the Earth Energy Circulation. Moreover, the name of that dynasty might be familiar to you."

Saying this, Agunas glanced at Feng Yuan and slowly said,

"Salontia. I suspect that Nierlat’s technology also originated from them. If so, Ernis’s actions might not be wrong after all."

"Has someone activated that device?"

Surprised, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas and asked. Shaking its head, Agunas replied,

"No, but the device’s probe is too close to the Earth Energy Circulation. Previously, during the circulation’s tremor, the probe unintentionally interfered with it."

"Now, apart from those in Lorraine Tower, the Divine Beasts in the Divine Land Region are silent."

Waving its tail helplessly, Agunas said, they couldn’t help it; having caused such a big mess, how could they dare say anything? Feng Yuan remarked with a bit of amusement,

"The more this happens, the worse it might be for Xingchan and the others."

"Now’s not the time to discuss this. Do you have a way to stabilize the Earth Energy Circulation’s tremors?"

Flicking its tail, Agunas looked at Feng Yuan and asked. They were helpless; although they found the cause, the Earth’s energy circulation was now abnormal, and calming it down wouldn’t be quick. It’s just...

"Not really. Extracting it isn’t feasible; I’m not from Drochkar. Doing so would cause trouble for Great Xia."

He had no good method to stabilize the Earth’s energy circulation’s anomalies. Though energy extraction was possible, like back in Great Xia, it would cause too much commotion, necessitating a clear explanation to avoid trouble.

"Earth Energy Circulation? I’ve heard of that."

The man looked at Feng Yuan and the others and said. He had heard the researchers mention it, but wasn’t very clear about the specifics. Was this blizzard related to the Earth Energy Circulation?

"The volcano over at Wilt Bay is showing signs of unrest. I’ll help explain to them, so get ready."

Agunas said while looking at Feng Yuan. The man was stunned and asked Agunas loudly,

"Is the Wilt Bay volcano about to erupt?!"

However, Agunas didn’t respond to him and was instead communicating with the Divine Beasts in the Omeilia Region. Feng Yuan’s concern was justified; if not explained clearly, such large-scale extraction of Earth Energy Circulation might harm Great Xia.

Veronia glanced at the man and said,

"Isn’t this quite normal? When the Earth Energy Circulation is abnormal, most energy vents experience extreme weather, like this blizzard here. Is a volcano eruption at Wilt Bay hard to understand?"

"This... is unacceptable!"

He took out his phone to inquire with friends. Belusir looked at Feng Yuan and said,

"If you can, please lend a hand not just to Wilt Bay, but many areas are in great danger..."

"Well, if they can explain clearly, it’s not impossible. However, even with energy extraction, there will be various minor issues, which aren’t my concern."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan replied helplessly. It wasn’t as simple as extracting and returning water; extracting from the Earth Energy Circulation would certainly cause problems. Remembering something, Feng Yuan looked at Belusir and said,

"By the way, you should first inform Delong Tower to seal the ocean’s energy circulation, or else other issues might arise elsewhere."

He was also helpless. With him present in Omeilia, it was okay to handle, but if other regions also had problems, he didn’t want to be running everywhere. Nodding, Belusir, like Agunas, sought out Delong Tower on the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network to discuss this matter.

Seeing Feng Yuan and the others busy, the man who just finished a call hesitated and said,

"I’ll take them away first. If there’s anything you need help with, you can find me. My number is..."

Jotting down the man’s number, Feng Yuan said,

"Got it. But are you sure you can take all those people down by yourself?"

Although the rescue team was already awake, with their current state, descending might be problematic. The man’s Raventus and Telekinetic Brown Bear could use telekinesis to help, but with the blizzard still raging, unforeseen issues might arise.

The man smiled and said,

"The rescue team will arrive shortly. Thank you all for your help."

Having said this, the man saluted Feng Yuan and his group. Without Feng Yuan’s timely assistance for emergency measures, there might have been casualties. Still, was this blizzard truly connected to the Divine Land Region?

Though he didn’t understand the whole story, from their conversations, he could guess that the previous war in the Divine Land Region caused aftershocks leading to the current situation. It’s really...

He didn’t plan to demand an explanation from the Divine Land, as Drochkar would certainly step in, perhaps not just Drochkar but the entire nation of Omeilia wouldn’t let it go easily. However, this made him worry...

He was concerned whether the Divine Land and Omeilia might clash over this since the Divine Land might not easily back down.

Before he pondered further, the rescue team arrived, busying themselves with evacuating the injured without noticing the man’s apprehension. Looking at the surrounding blizzard, the man shook his head. These matters weren’t his to worry about now. Instead of focusing on this, he decided to find the others as quickly as possible.

The patrol team was an accident. According to his inquiries, they were caught in an avalanche on their way down, buried by snow. Otherwise, even the blizzard wouldn’t have posed such a danger.

After some thought, he decided to have the station check if everyone, including the patrol team, who went up the mountain had returned safely.

"This matter is rather..."

Dou Yanlan looked worriedly at Feng Yuan. She didn’t expect this incident to be connected to the Divine Land Region. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,

"It shouldn’t be a major problem. They have to resolve it themselves. The situation has already unfolded, excusing won’t help."

"Thankfully, Great Xia is the victim this time, so the main trouble falls on Xingchan and others, otherwise it would be troublesome."

After all, Great Xia was the invaded party and didn’t initiate the conflict. Feng Yuan even protected some Earth Energy Circulation’s power during the event. Blaming Great Xia would be unreasonable, and other Divine Beasts would surely assist Great Xia.

"However, this incident might impact the entire Divine Land Region, who knows if any unfortunate events might occur."

Sighing, Dou Yanlan remarked helplessly. Given the significant damage caused to Omeilia Region, didn’t they see that during the lockdown, the entire Divine Land was sealed off together? Even if the blame isn’t solely on Great Xia, they won’t be entirely unaffected.

"Perhaps, but does this concern us?"

Smiling slightly, Feng Yuan said, Dou Yanlan was overthinking. Neither Great Xia nor the Divine Land was her responsibility, especially as a student. Hearing this, Dou Yanlan chuckled and replied,

"True, I suppose I’m overthinking..."
