The Lightning Pentagon Mines were located at Half-Ridge Mountain City.
Half-Ridge Mountain City was an important industrial city of the Andes Federation. It was not as dazzling and developed as Banlo City, but the whole city was like a pounding heart, pumping blood through the important arteries of the nation.
Half-Ridge Mountain City was around forty kiloters away from Banlo City, with a huge tropical river as a boundary line between them.
When the plane flew across the river, Mo Fan noticed that the river was as wide as a small strait. It was rare to see a river so wide.
Using the river as a boundary line, the areas toward Banlo City were mostly farms, woods, and green fields.
In contrast, the areas toward Half-Ridge Mountain City were mostly barren.. There was not much vegetation, and so areas were as dry as the Gobi.
Industrial areas were prone to pollution. Even the rain on one side had a different color than the other.
“It might seem like Half-Ridge Mountain City is full of factories, trucks, and ships, but the Andes Federation is planning to develop a port like Shanghai here in South Arica. They even plan to dig a channel through the Andes Mountain Range to reach the Pacific Ocean,” Zhu ng claid.
“That’s a lot of work,” Mo Fan observed.
“The Andes Mountains are a natural barrier that stops the sea monsters. If I’m guessing right, the cities along the coastline in South Arica will gradually move to the other side of the Andes,” Zhu ng mused.
Mo Fan thought about that.
It was just as Zhu ng had ntioned. The Andes Mountains were located along the shoreline, forming a natural dam. It did not matter how high the sea level rose, it would never make it through the Andes Mountains Range, which stretched out like an enormous dragon.
It explained why Chile, Peru, and other countries had decided to form an alliance and potentially move their cities to the other side of the Andes Mountains. It was the perfect plan to hide from the invasion of sea monsters.
China and Japan were on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, but the countries in South Arica did not have armies of the sa size and strength as China and Japan. China was able to build a two-hundred-thousand-kiloters-long dam on its vast shoreline, while Japan was known for being an expert at fighting mariti battles.
The countries in South Arica did not stand a similar chance against the sea monsters. Seeing that so many cities had been trampled to the ground by the sea monsters, choosing to form a federation and move the cities to the other side of the Andes Mountains was the smartest option!
“We are here, it’s right ahead,” Zhu ng pointed ahead.
Half-Ridge Mountain City was constructed on a slope. It felt like the buildings in the city were arranged in a star from afar.
The Lightning Pentagon Mine was the biggest mine in Half-Ridge Mountain City. A group of people in khaki military outfits ca over as Zhu ng’s helicopter landed on the helipad.
The pilot took off his helt and studied the soldiers. “Councilman, sothing isn’t right...”
“I’m a Councilman from China, Zhu ng!” Zhu ng revealed his identity to the incoming soldiers.
A man with a yellow hat ca up to Zhu ng. “We are managing this place now,” the general declared.
“I’m here to see my niece. I have no interest in your business!” Zhu ng remained fearless despite the pressure from the soldiers.
The general talked to his advisor softly. He nodded in the end, indicating that Zhu ng was allowed to see his niece under their supervision.
The soldiers followed beside them, keeping stern faces, like they were going to fire their automatic rifles at Mo Fan and the others at any mont.
Mo Fan was utterly confused.
“The country is still politically unstable. This Lightning Pentagon Mine is its greatest asset, so it’s normal for them to be on alert. However, I thought this mine belonged to the Andes Federation,” Zhu ng inford him helplessly.
The mine used to belong to the Greens, but it now belonged to the Yellows!
It did not matter much to Zhu ng. His company was still involved in the mining, so the change of ownership did not make any difference. The Yellows just had to sign a new agreent with his company.
“Uncle!” A short-haired woman in a jacket ca trotting up to them.
“Why are you so tanned?” Zhu ng asked her in concern.
“You can tell that the air isn’t great here, and the sun is always up. It’s only a matter of ti before my skin condition worsens. Uncle, this Lightning Cultivation Tool is pretty rare. It should be able to strengthen your cultivation further!” the woman exclaid.
“Zhu Li, allow to introduce you; this is the famous Mo Fan you always wanted to et. I brought him with ,” Zhu ng said formally.
The woman imdiately focused on Mo Fan. She blatantly scanned Mo Fan from his head to his feet.
“He isn’t as special as the rumors ntioned,” Zhu Li declared.
“My bad, not only do I not have three heads and six arms, I didn’t even have eyes like Xiang Yu, nor did I dig up a boulder from the Yellow River with a prophecy that I’m ascending to the throne,” Mo Fan answered smoothly.
“HAHAHA, you’re amusing!” Zhu Li laughed. She was more of a masculine woman.
Zhu ng told Zhu Li his plan to give Mo Fan the Lightning Cultivation Tool.
Zhu Li was confused at first. She did not understand why Zhu ng would give away sothing so useful, until she heard Zhu ng ntion there was a traitor among the core mbers of the Tianbei Enforcent Union.
The Lightning Cultivation Tool was nothing compared to Zhu ng’s career!
“Besides, I’m getting older. Even if my cultivation improves, it will only provide with more energy and better control. It won’t make much of a difference. Mo Fan has the Blessing of the God’s Seal. He’s also young, so he needs the Lightning Cultivation Tool more than I do... The truth is, even if Golden Canary wasn’t a traitor, I was planning to give it to Mo Fan anyway. Mo Fan is taking on the Black Vatican. He needs to beco stronger as soon as possible,” Zhu ng told her.
Zhu ng ant what he said.
He was still hesitating a little before, but he had made up his mind after what had happened recently.
“Old man, I’m not going to take your thing for granted. Just let know if you need my help,” Mo Fan did not turn down Zhu ng’s offer.
There was no point in being too courteous with Zhu ng. They had both sworn to take down the Black Vatican, and now was the ti Mo Fan needed strength the most. He had long wanted to get his hands on the Lightning Pentagons, but the Andes Federation military had taken over the mine.
“Very well!” Zhu ng was a straightforward man too. He did not think twice after making his decisions.
Zhu Li took out a gleaming Pendant. It had a Lightning Pentagon with a slight golden-purple luster, cut very delicately. The edges and vertexes were clean and sharp.
