Chapter 230:
“Why is the desertification of this ground so severe?”
Old Chen came to the ruins of the inner city above the Blood Vulture Halls, led by his two students. He immediately noticed the terrible soil condition on the ground, bent down to grab a handful of soil and squeezed it in his hand.
The large clump of soil immediately scattered under external force, without any stickiness.
Moreover, the color of the soil appeared oddly grayish-white, making Professor Chen frown deeply.
“There’s no way to start construction directly in this condition, even with reinforced foundations. Have you measured it? How thick is this type of soil?”
“At least 1.5 meters down, mentor,” replied Grayman, pushing up his decorative glasses. He said to Old Chen:
“I asked around, and they say it’s because of the erosion of Spirit energy from the Astral Realm outside this world, causing the life force of this land to drain rapidly. The entire surface part of the city has been dragged into that alternate dimension, and the remaining land has been eroded by polluted energy, turning it into this state.
I think what the locals refer to as the loss of ‘land life force’ probably means this loss of fertility and desert-like condition.
And look!”
