Chapter 214 - Ocean on Mars, Gratitude from Giant Dragon

To Ling Jiu's surprise, the giant dragon did not kill them after slaughtering Alek.
Instead, it stared at them for a while, particularly at Ling Jiu. After giving him a long gaze, it left the scene with the small dragon and slowly disappeared in the sky.
As the giant and small dragons left, the pressure of the giant dragon's aura gradually dissipated. Ling Jiu and the trio panted heavily, as if they had just come back from hell.
"Finally, they left!" Niu Miao patted her c.h.e.s.t, with lingering fear in her heart. "I was almost scared to death just now. I thought we were doomed for sure. Who would expect…"
"Thank God!"
"Alek that assh*le had almost got us killed!" Niu Ben also smiled bitterly
"Why didn't that dragon monster kill us?"
"Is it because Ling Jiu have saved the little dragon?" Niu Ben spoke in low voice.
"This must be the only explanation!" Niu Ben sighed, "Maybe that small dragon monster has said something nice about us when it was communicating with the giant dragon monster?"
Niu Miao nodded slightly as she agreed that this was the only explanation.
"Just how many such terrifying beings are there on this planet?"
Bai Ya said, "This is the second being powerful than Class-10 Direbeast we have encountered so far. Last time it was a 500-meter-long dragon."
"God knows how many?" Niu Ben shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's leave. This planet is not where we should stay!"
These terrifying dragons would not attack them as long as they did not provoke them. But what if there was an accident?
Almost all Matriculation Camp trainees had come to this planet, and no one could guarantee that things like what happened to Alek would not occur.
Therefore, the three of them agreed to leave, and Ling Jiu had no choice but to leave with them for now.
Eventually, the news they heard later proved that their judgment was correct. Once they returned to Mars through Wormhole 13, the staff notified them that the danger state of that planet was identified as SS Level due to 11 trainee deaths and the existence of horrifying creatures on the planet!
Therefore, Matriculation Camp trainees were banned from visiting that planet!
After they were informed, Ling Jiu and the other three looked at each other, and saw consternation in each other's eyes.
'There are already 11 people died on that planet?'
'The death rate is too high!
'But it is normal since the planet's environment is harsh. The temperature is high. It is as high as 110 degree Celsius even for regions in hemisphere of night, let alone the other hemisphere covered by sea of lava.
'On planet with such extreme environment, Matriculation Camp trainees will not be able to stay long. Their lives can be in danger if they walk a little farther. Hence, 11 deaths reported after few days—it's not high.'
"Let's go. Let's go back!"
The four returned to Matriculation Camp after passing through Wormhole 13. They planned to go back to Antarctic Ice City to meet the camp commandant. Their goal was simple—to sell the Fiery Red Crystals and divide the earning equally!
Unexpectedly, as soon as they had passed through the wormhole, Uncle Wang blocked their way.
"It's you again?" Uncle Wang squinted his eyes. "Where are you going?"
"Uncle Wang, we need to meet Camp Commandant for an urgent matter!" Niu Ben spoke with a smiling face, then took out a good bottle of red wine for Uncle Wang. "Hehe. Please make an exception for us."
Uncle Wang calmly accepted the red wine and said dully, "You have picked the wrong time. Camp Commandant is not at Antarctic Ice City right now!"
"No?" Niu Ben was taken aback.
"She went to Mars!" Uncle Wang said lightly.
"Mars?" The four of them had no choice but to return to Mars. However, they did not know where the camp commandant was, so they could only go separate ways for now.
"Ling Jiu, look!" Bai Ya suddenly pointed to a distance and exclaimed when they had just reached the front of the barrier wall.
Ling Jiu looked at the direction she was pointing and saw a huge fountain suddenly appear in the distant desert. The thick waterspout shot few hundred-meter-high into the sky. It could be clearly seen even from remote distance.
"They have started to let the water in?" Ling Jiu said in low voice, "Let's go to take a look!"
"Okay!"
The next moment, the two arrived at the front of Wormhole 51 and saw a waterspout of few hundred meters thick shot out from the wormhole, to the sky in an extremely violent impact.
The water then spread out under the sunlight. It was a beautiful sight.
At the same time, there were people standing in front of Wormhole 51: construction workers, relevant experts, scientists, and Matriculation Camp senior officials including the camp commandant.
There were also many Matriculation Camp trainees attracted by the view.
"Camp Commandant is here!" Ling Jiu whispered secretly.
"10 days! It only took 10 days for this project to get proposed, approved, and finally completed. Thanks to everyone's hard work!"
"Judging from the current water output speed, I think it will take several decades for Mars to have oceans like Earth. But this would not obscure tree planting on Mars!"
"The temperature of Mars now is considered conducive. And with water, we can grow plants at large areas of Mars so they could produce oxygen! "
"And once the temperature is right, the survival and growth rates of the arcana trees will be greatly accelerated. It will form a virtuous circle, and speed up Mars terraformation!
"Yes, it may not even have to take a few years..."
People were excited and full of hopes for the future of Mars.
Mars was the first foreign planet that humans was trying to terraform.
During the entire terraformation process, not only could humans increase their experience, they would have one more home planet once the terraformation was complete.
Therefore, terraforming Mars certainly had extraordinary significance!
Mars had evolved from an icy planet to a planet with conducive temperature. And now, there was even water. Ling Jiu's contribution was great!
It was him who had discovered Venus and proposed to divide the carbon dioxide; it was him who had discovered Europa and proposed to distribute part of its water to Mars...
One could say that Ling Jiu played an important role in the whole process.
Once Mars terraformation succeeded, his contribution would be indelible.
After watching for a long time, the crowd gradually dispersed. The canal system had been built, and the water had been released. The next thing to do was to wait.
Mars would become a humid planet after its dry surface absorbed more and more water.
"But it is a pity for Europa! " Ling Jiu shook his head and sighed, "Once the ocean beneath the ice shrinks significantly, Europa's environment is bound to drastic changes. It will greatly affect the lifeforms and floating mountains! "
"Yes!" Bai Ya nodded slightly.
"However, there is no other way!" Ling Jiu said with mixed feelings, "No matter how good Europa is, it is a planet where humans cannot survive, and there is no way to transform it!"
In the next few days, Ling Jiu and Bai Ya did not go anywhere but planted trees at Ares Plains at ease.
They planted trees during the day, slept and had training at night.
These days were fulfilling and wonderful.
It was not that Ling Jiu did not want to go out. Bai Ya had been keeping tight eyes on him.
She was afraid that Ling Jiu would visit that dangerous hellish planet again, so she refused to let him leave.
After a full week, Ling Jiu left the place. He came up with the excuse that his cooling-off period for Arcana Replication had ended and he needed to look for a good target to replicate at Matriculation Camp.
"Sigh! This is the disadvantage of being in relationship. I no longer able to enjoy freedom as much as before! "
Ling Jiu sighed and moved straight to Wormhole 13.
The cooling-period of Arcana Replication had actually passed, and it had only been 10 days since the replication of Unlimited Growth.
This meant the cooling-period of Arcana Replication had been shortened to 10 days from 15 days, which was 5 days lesser!
It was great news!
But Ling Jiu's goal today was not to replicate an arcana but to go back to that hellish planet and swallow a wave of lava. Apparently, he was at his wits' end past few days.
Ling Jiu arrived at the hellish planet. The surrounding was still endlessly dark.
After he sensed Dimensional Marker, he reached the sky above the sea of lava. While looking at the boiling sea of lava, he licked his lips, "I have done craving... The Devourer!"
*BOOM—*
A black hole emerged and swallowed the hot lava madly. Nevertheless, Ling Jiu did not feel satisfied. He jumped into the sea of lava and create a terrifying vortex that could swallow even more madly.
*BUZZ—*
The huge vortex frantically swallowed the surrounding lava. As large amount of lava was s.u.c.k.e.d into his inner realm, the realm was expanding at speed visible to the eyes.
29 kilometers, 30 kilometers, 31 kilometers...
After devouring the lava for a while, Ling Jiu burped contentedly and emerged from the sea of lava.
It was not that he did not want to continue to devour the lava, but The Devourer 's consumption of dark bio-energy was way too shocking. In addition, it costed him dark bio-energy too when his inner realm was transforming the lava!
This was Ling Jiu. If it was another person, the arcana gene of that person would get drained long ago!
Therefore, Ling Jiu could not swallow endlessly. He needed to pause for a break after a certain period of swallowing the lava.
Sitting cross-legged, Ling Jiu quickly absorbed dark bio-energy in the void.
A steady stream of dark bio-energy flooded into his Dantian. And as nebula rotated, the stream was finally absorbed by Gene Arcana core at the center of nebula. The Gene Arcana core which had shrunk earlier then quickly recovered.
After a long time, Ling Jiu had almost recovered so he continued to devour the lava.
The half day had passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Jiu knew that he had to go back, otherwise Bai Ya would get suspicious.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ling Jiu heard a low roar. He turned his head and saw a giant dragon monster galloping in the hot lava, rushing towards him in high speed.
When Ling Jiu saw the giant dragon monster, his heart tightened. The shock had shadowed him. But luckily, the giant dragon monster in front of him was a small one, only seventy or eighty meters long.
Ling Jiu could not help but let out a sigh of relief. Nevertheless, he was still going to withdraw.
In the last two occasions, when the small dragons were under attack, the big dragons had showed up to avenge them.
Therefore, if this small dragon was here, the big one must be not far away.
So, Ling Jiu would be frightened even though it was just a small dragon.
The dragon seemed to have noticed that Ling Jiu was about to flee, so it flapped its two wings quickly and blocked Ling Jiu's way after letting out a roar.
Its two wings were obviously asymmetrical—one was bigger than the other one. The smaller wing looked rather new.
When Ling Jiu saw the wings, he was shocked. 'Is this fellow the dragon whose wing was cut off by Alek in last fierce battle?'
What happened next proved that Ling Jiu's guess was right. With a pair of watermelon-sized eyes, the dragon fixed its gaze at Ling Jiu, and there was no malice in its eyes.
"Thank you... for saving me!" Ling Jiu heard a low voice in his mind.
