I Have A City In An Alternate World Chapter 260

Chapter 260: The disaster of the Cold Moon, the soul crystal creature
Translator: 549690339
This secret from a thousand years ago allowed Tang Zhen to finally understand the demon-eye Tyrannosaurus ‘plan.
The reason why the demon-eye Tyrannosaurus used its innate ability to smash the sky and drive a large number of Hydra here was probably because of these soul crystals!
As for why it chose to do this a thousand years later and not any other time, it was likely to be related to some strange disaster in the loucheng world.
According to the information that Tang Zhen had obtained from various books, a strange Cold Moon would appear in the sky of the tower world every thousand years or so.
This Cold Moon would stay in the sky for a year. During this period, it would block the sun, causing half of the continent to fall into darkness.
The temperature of the wilderness would drop drastically, and snow would cover the entire wilderness. The monsters would also become more brutal and strange.
According to Lou Cheng’s historical records, when the Cold Moon covered the land, all strange objects would form a blue ice Armor that would emit a faint fluorescent light at night.
This kind of monster with Ice Armor had extremely high defense, and its strength was multiplied!
After killing a monster, one would be able to obtain a type of mutated brain Pearl. Its value was ten times that of a normal brain Pearl!
Along with this Cold Moon, there was a strange race called ‘ice Imps’!
It was said that these ice Imps were a foreign race that lived on the Cold Moon. When the Cold Moon appeared, they would descend into the world of loucheng through special means.
The ice Imps would kill any living being other than monsters and then transport the corpses to the Cold Moon.
In all the ancient books, the event of the Cold Moon’s descent was collectively referred to as the ” Cold Moon disaster “!
When Tang Zhen was reading books in the past, he didn’t pay too much attention to this matter. At that time, he only took a glance and didn’t study it in depth.
Now, through the actions of the demon-eye Tyrannosaurus, Tang Zhen suddenly recalled the various phenomena before the disaster of the Cold Moon. Among them, there were “holes” in the sky and the appearance of wild buildings!
Perhaps as the Cold Moon approached, the space in the world of loucheng became extremely unstable, which was why these things happened.
After calculating the time when the Cold Moon disaster would descend, Tang Zhen was somewhat shocked to discover that there was actually less than half a year left before the Cold Moon disaster this time!
Tang Zhen frowned tightly when he thought of this. A sense of urgency rose spontaneously.
During the disaster of the Cold Moon 1000 years ago, all Wanderers and cultivators who had the ability would try their best to escape from the shadows for fear of being killed by the ice Imps and Monsters.
However, a thousand years later, very few humans and non-humankind beings knew about this secret. Besides, the area covered by the Cold Moon was thousands of miles wide, so where could they escape to?
Even if the city Lords, big and small, knew about the disaster of the Cold Moon from the inheritance, they would still hold the mentality of being lucky. How many of them would be able to give up their own Foundation and run for their lives?
Tang Zhen did not care what others would do.
Now that he knew that the disaster of the Cold Moon was coming, he had to make early preparations to avoid being caught off guard!
“Damn it, why are all these trashy things happening one after another?
The natives of this world of loucheng are really like cockroaches. They’ve been tortured by the heavens and still haven’t died!”
Tang Zhen cursed in his heart. He no longer paid any attention to those foreign race cultivators and began to walk toward the depths of the sinkhole.
There were many thick ancient vines growing on the cliffs at the edge of the sinkhole. They were numerous and extended all the way to the bottom of the sinkhole.
The deepest part of the sinkhole was already filled with turbulent waves. The Endless River water was gradually filling up the place.
As expected of a King-tier monster, the demon-eye Tyrannosaurus had a good plan!
When the sinkhole was completely filled with seawater, these Hydra could run wild in the sinkhole and capture the invisible soul crystal creatures to obtain a large number of soul crystals.
This kind of soul crystal creature could only become invisible, but it could not become invisible. When it moved in the water, it would inevitably cause water ripples or waves.
In its own territory, the Hydra could easily track down the soul crystal creatures and capture them.
As for how to hand over the soul crystal to the demon-eye Tyrannosaurus, it wasn’t something that Tang Zhen knew for now.
Tang Zhen swiftly descended along the vines. Not long after, he landed on a platform in the air.
Looking down from here, he could see many cultivators hanging in the air with vines in their hands, staring at the water without blinking.
Most of them were holding a strange kind of net in their hands. It was woven with vines and was connected to a long rope.
Tang Zhen carefully looked at this tool and discovered that it was similar to a hidden weapon called the ‘blood guillotine’ in the original world.
Every time a wave suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, but there was nothing at first glance, the cultivator closest to it would throw the rattan net over and pull it back after hitting the target.
After the net was pulled, it immediately closed tightly. It clearly looked empty, but it continued to struggle and shake.
At this time, the cultivator would quickly withdraw the net cage and shake it violently in his hand. When the soul crystal creature in the cage was shaken unconscious, he could take it out.
Only after the soul crystal creature was killed and its blood was drained could its true appearance be seen. It could be a mouse, a weed, or even an unremarkable worm!
The originally ordinary creatures were no longer ordinary after they had the soul crystal.
Perhaps after the soul crystal appeared in their bodies, their original souls had disappeared, and the soul crystal LED their bodies to continue living.
After killing these soul crystal creatures, the cultivators would find the soul crystals in their bodies and carefully put them into special containers.
The process of capturing these soul crystal creatures was not smooth sailing. It was filled with danger and twists and turns at all times.
These soul crystal creatures were extremely cunning and would not show themselves unless it was absolutely necessary, so they had to keep a close eye on the surface of the water at all times.
While they were capturing the soul crystal creatures, the nearby cultivators also participated in the robbery, both openly and secretly.
Under the vast surface of the water, there were a large number of water monsters shuttling back and forth. They were constantly looking for soul crystal creatures and ambushing the careless cultivators.
In just a few minutes when Tang Zhen was observing the environment at the bottom of the sinkhole, several cultivators were dragged into the water by the water monsters. The outcome was obvious!
The two Lord-tier water monsters emerged from the water from time to time and spat water balls at the cultivators on the vines. Once they were hit, they would immediately be crushed to pieces.
However, the huge benefits that soul crystals represented made these cultivators risk their lives and seize every second to fish out the soul crystal creatures that appeared from time to time.
Men die for wealth and birds die for food. It was the same in the world of loucheng!
The human exploration team that Tang Zhen had seen earlier was currently at the position he was standing on. However, there were only six of them left from the original eight!
A wave of water suddenly appeared. The masked woman of the human exploration team was the closest, and she immediately threw the rattan net in her hand down.
After the net fell to the water, it accurately caught the swimming soul crystal creature.
The masked woman was overjoyed. She quickly pulled the net cage into her arms, afraid that the struggling soul crystal creature would escape.
However, just as the masked woman grabbed the net cage, something strange happened!
A level-four water monster suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and pounced on the masked woman.
Originally, the masked woman was at a high position, so it was difficult for the Hydra to touch her body. However, this Hydra had a frog-like tongue.
The tongue was like a bolt of lightning, striking straight at the masked woman’s chest, making it impossible for the masked woman to Dodge in midair!
“Little butterfly!”
The middle-aged man from the human expedition team roared in pain, but he could only watch helplessly as the masked woman was attacked. He was helpless!
Just when the Hydra’s tongue was so close to her that everyone thought the masked woman was dead for sure, a cold light suddenly flashed!
“Owwuuu!”
The Level 4 Hydra let out a scream as its long tongue was cut into two and fell into the water.
The masked woman who had just escaped death immediately looked to the side, wanting to know who had saved her at the critical moment.
Then, she saw the annoying man outside the sinkhole. He was holding an ancient vine and looking at her with a smile that was not a smile!
