Chapter 96: Special Body, Descent into Madness

Chapter 96: Special Body, Descent into Madness

After two consecutive days of heavy rain, the Murray River’s water level surged and the river water became murky .

The bellowing river carried mud and sand across the southern part of the Australian mainland before merging into the vast Indian Ocean .

The Murray River was the largest river in Australia, traversing almost across the entire southern part of the continent . At the same time, it also nourishes countless Direbeasts as it was the source of drinking water for the Direbeasts .

At that moment, a maglev airship flew across the sky as it sped toward the intersection between the Mildura and the Murray River .

Piloting an airship like this in the Australian continent where top-level Direbeasts rampaged was a very dangerous thing to do . If any of the top-level flying Direbeasts were to attack it, the vessel will definitely be destroyed .

However, right then, all of the students no longer cared about that because only the two million points remained in their minds .

Two million points!

These two million points…

Even Zhou Ji, who was first for two consecutive weeks did not have such high points . That meant that as long as they can get the two million points, being number one was just around the corner!

It would be insane!

All of the students were in a frenzy as they rushed towards Mildura like crazy .

Therefore, when Ling Jiu drove his airship over to Mildura, what he saw was this:

Several dozens of maglev airships were parked above and around the Murray River .

Students were either standing on top of their airships, on the ground, or hiding in the surrounding woods .

Then, all of them stared at the Murray River, as victory was inevitable, and theirs to take!

Yes, victory was inevitable!

These two million points… were theirs!

“There will be a fierce battle today!”

Standing on top of the airship, Ling Jiu’s expression gradually became serious .

Immediately after, he looked at the Murray River again . The water was very turbid, and on the surface, there was nothing special about it .

However, if one was to perceive it carefully, one would find that the Murray River emitted regular waves of Gene Arcana .

Moreover, as time passed, the Gene Arcana fluctuations became more and more pronounced, as if something was about to wake up .

“Ling Jiu, you’re here too?”

A familiar voice rang beside his ears, and saw his roommate, Shi Gang had also come over . “Shi Gang, you’re here too?”

“Yeah, just arrived!”

Shi Gang nodded again with a smile . He then pointed to a sturdy black man with a large face and a height of two meters beside him before he introduced, “This is my new teammate, Dylon!”

“Dylon, this is my roommate, Ling Jiu!”

“Nihao!”

Dylon took the initiative to greet him in Mandarin . Although his pronunciation was somewhat off, he could still understand it .

“Nihao!”

“By the way, Ling Jiu, what exactly is that Rainbow Snake the camp commandant spoke of?”

Shi Gang stared at the middle of the river . “In any case, this thing has nothing to do with being a treasure of heaven and earth right?”

“Who knows!”

Ling Jiu shook his head slightly . “However, we’ll find out soon enough!”

As soon as he said that, the fast-flowing Murray River suddenly roiled violently .

Immediately after, a series of colorful lights burst out from the river, forming a colorful rainbow over the Murray River, looking both brilliant and magnificent .

“It’s coming out!”

Ling Jiu stared at the center of Murray River as Shi Gang, Dylon and the other students surrounding the area also closed in as they stared at the river .

“Everyone, on your guard!”

“That thing is coming out!”

“Remember, grab it immediately once it’s out . No matter who gets it, leave this place immediately!”

“Mine, the Rainbow Snake is mine!”

“Coming! It’s coming out any time now!”

…

Under the scorching gaze of everyone present, a seven-colored head surfaced from the water . It was an ethereal snakehead .

Why ethereal?

It’s because it had no physical body!

The snakehead was composed of a beam of seven colors: bright silver, blood red, sky blue, light purple, earthy yellow, black, and incandescent white . It was a snake that was composed of light .

Following it was the snake’s body, tail, and finally a pair of wings .

The moment the snake’s entire form appeared, everyone was stunned!

A Rainbow Snake completely made out of seven-colored lights floated in the air . Its waist the side of a barrel and its length more than 50 meters long .

More surprise was the pair of giant seven-colored wings that grew on its back, with a wingspan of at least 50 meters .

“Is this the Rainbow Snake?”

Ling Jiu was also stunned . “What sort of lifeform is this? If it’s a Direbeast, why doesn’t it have a physical body?

“Or is this scene just some bizarre natural phenomenon?”

“It’s… a special body!”

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out as a thin white teenager’s face turned red, as he fell into a frenzy .

“Special metals, special wood, special liquids, special flames, special soils, special lightning, special light beams!”

“This is a treasure of heaven and earth that is made entirely out of special substances! Jackpot! If I take it back…”

“Hart, shut up!”

The white teenager was babbling on when he was interrupted by a black girl .

The white teenager suddenly snapped out and realized that he had caused a gaffe, as an expression of embarrassment appeared on his face .

“A treasure of heaven and earth made out of seven special substances?” Ling Jiu was amazed .

Special substances!

He had obviously heard of them before!

There were many members of the Treasures of Heaven and Earth, but there was one type of treasure that was particularly eye-catching, that was… the special substances!

What was a special substance?

They were things that were different from all ordinary substances, like special flames, special soils, special lightning, special plants, and the like .

Examples of special flames were Ai Shangcheng’s Undying Skyfire and Shi Gang’s black flames .

For special soils, on the other hand, Ling Jiu currently only knew of one type of special soil, the top-of-the-line earth-type cold weapon, the Sands of Annihilation .

Osmium soil?

Not even close!

Special substances have terrifying power and magical effects that were far beyond any conventional materials .

Therefore, anyone who had a Manipulation-type Arcana would always try to get their hands on these special substances .

For a Fire Manipulation Arcanist like Luo Jia, if she had a special flame, then her combat power would change dramatically .

So, special substances were very precious, especially those powerful ones that were practically priceless, and many special substances could not be bought even if you had the money!

At this moment, however, there were seven special substances floating right before everyone’s eyes .

“Mine!”

A brown-skinned Indian teenager screamed as he transformed into a lightning man and blasted towards the Rainbow Snake in the air .

“Get lost!”

Yet, before he could get close, a golden stream of light suddenly sprang out from the slope and stomped on the Indian teenager .

The teenager yelped before flying away, crashing into the Murray River as he kicked up a splash before being washed away by the fast-flowing Murray River .

“Who’s that?”

Everyone was startled as they looked at the golden light that a figure stood five meters tall with golden wings and hair, like an angel in the legends .

His body exuded a golden light alongside a sacrosanct and inviolable aura as if he was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky .

“Christopher Adam!”
