Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 609 Menglan's Illness

225 days after birth.

Five days have passed since we met Menglan and forcibly brought her onto the Ark.

However, it can hardly be considered a forced transfer to the ark, since it is directionally challenged and has intermittent lapses in judgment. Even if given a hundred years, it would still be going around in circles and would never find its way back to the capital or Tianjin.

The "illness" here refers to Menglan's special sensitivity to the special metallic minerals that appeared after the spiritual energy revival.

Its special ability requires it to consume these special metallic minerals to enhance itself, so it is involuntarily attracted to them.

Once in this state, its appetite takes over its intelligence, and as a result, it, which is already directionally challenged, becomes even more lost and has no idea where it has gone.

Despite Cangnian's barrage of cryptic questions, Menglan's defense remained remarkably solid, almost impenetrable, but she still managed to reveal some information that had little to do with the capital's strength.

For example, these special metallic minerals that are born after the revival of spiritual energy are collectively named "Spiritual Gold" by the imperial capital. The meaning is very simple: metals derived from the revival of spiritual energy.

Menglan has been having quite a few episodes of illness these past few days, but it's not because it has found other spirit gold mines; rather, it's because it's become addicted and wants to eat the sharp gold on the Ark.

Fortunately, Cangnian was able to suppress this guy every time he had an attack.

Perhaps Menglan herself is aware of her old problem, so she has long maintained a reserved size, only the size of a panda cub that can be held in someone's arms.

In this way, even evolved creatures or evolved beings weaker than it can hold it down and prevent it from causing damage.

However, from Meng Lan's words, Cang Nian also learned that Meng Lan broke through to the fifth rank during the second spiritual energy revival tide.

In other words, it did not have the means to conceal its strength before.

Based on its performance on the Ark these past few days, Cangnian felt he probably knew why Menglan had been sent to Tianjin.

I reckon there are quite a few people in the mining industry in the capital who have found many spirit gold mines through technical means.

Then, these spirit gold ores can be used to manufacture high-strength cold weapons, some of which have special effects, so there should be a considerable number of them among the high-end experts in the capital.

Menglan couldn't control her mouth, and her strength was not weak either. Before the second spiritual energy revival tide, she met the prerequisite for breaking through to the fifth rank. In other places, she would definitely be a top-tier evolved creature.

Therefore, Cang Nian could imagine how much trouble Meng Lan would cause in the capital because of her special abilities.

If it weren't for its special ability to find spirit gold mines, and the fact that it's a national treasure and perhaps a prime example of the capital city trying to win over powerful evolved creatures, Cang Nian probably would have already slaughtered and eaten it.

"Master, a coastline has been spotted to the northeast."

According to the scanned map, we are not far from Tianjin.

Just as Cangnian was keeping an eye on Menglan to prevent it from causing trouble, Noah's voice echoed in his mind.

"Oh? We're almost there!"

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian's eyes lit up.

These days, Noah has been able to integrate all the information that the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom has gathered on the ground.

It attempts to deduce patterns from the changes in the map before and after the second spiritual revival.

This will be of great help in determining the location directly when going to other places in the future.

However, for the time being, the information collected is still too little, and Noah cannot find any general patterns among them.

But there was some gain, at least we can roughly guess the direction of Tianjin.

Now that they've encountered the coast, Noah's prediction can be basically verified!

Because Tianjin is adjacent to the Bohai Sea, even if the terrain changes drastically after the second spiritual energy revival tide, it will not be too far away.

In that case, Noah's supercomputer is now secured.

Whoosh~!

However, at that moment, Menglan, who was lying on the ground like a black sesame dumpling that had been exposed, suddenly shot off towards the outside of the ark!

Seeing this, Cangnian shook his head helplessly, and with a swift and decisive move, he darted in front of Menglan and intercepted it precisely.

"Having another episode? Can't you just give me a break?"

Cangnian grabbed Menglan in his claws and said helplessly.

He couldn't even remember how many times he had captured Menglan like this.

"No...this is different from before!"

I'm not trying to break the formation; there's spirit metal somewhere else!

"Let me through!"

Menglan quickly shook her head, her expression one of suppressed emotion, and spoke.

"Huh? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Nian raised an eyebrow, not quite believing it.

"of course it's true!"

Menglan nodded emphatically.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll go with you, but don't even think about running away!"

Cang Nian nodded, then released the tiger's claws.

As soon as it heard that it was not far from Tianjin, this guy would immediately act up, making it hard for Cang Nian not to suspect that it was planning to escape.

"Mmm-hmm! Don't worry!"

Menglan nodded repeatedly, and patted her chest with her chubby little paws.

Whoosh~!

As Cangnian released its claws, Menglan transformed into a black and white cannonball and shot towards the coast!

Cangnian followed closely behind Menglan, pondering how to get a share of the spirit gold.

Don't let Menglan's chubby appearance fool you; it's a fifth-tier evolved creature, and its speed is anything but slow. In no time, it had flown hundreds of kilometers away.

Before long, Cangnian saw the shore that Noah had described.

Menglan flew past the coast and continued flying towards the sea further away from the shore.

A moment later, when Cangnian could no longer see the shore, Menglan plunged into the sea.

However, just as Cangnian was about to catch up, he saw Menglan emerge from the sea with a splash.

"What's wrong? Can't you swim?"

Cang Nian joked.

"of course not!

I sense that the spiritual gold here is buried very deep!

The underwater portion alone stretches for several kilometers!

I could dig it out myself, but it would be too time-consuming!

"With so many evolved beings there, surely some can dig very fast, right?"

Menglan shook the seawater off her head and then asked.

"Hmm... I do have some, but why should I lend them to you?"

He had originally been thinking of finding a way to get some spirit gold, but Menglan herself offered up an excuse. Cang Nian was secretly delighted, but he kept a straight face.

"If you help me, I'll definitely put in a good word for you when we get back to the capital!"

I'm very popular in Beijing. With my guarantee, it will be very easy for you to integrate into the city!

Menglan rolled her eyes, then said in a serious tone.

"You want to get something for nothing?"

Cang Nian squinted and glanced at him sideways.

"Hehe, how can you say that?"

My pride still works!

Menglan straightened her little face and said firmly.

"Forget it, I don't need that kind of thing."

If you're going to get our people involved, then you should show some sincerity.

Okay then, you found the spirit gold here, so I won't let you suffer a loss.

How about we split it 50/50?

Cang Nian shook his head, then revealed the true meaning behind the words.
