The Importance of the Token

"Blizzard Token? Why do we need to obtain that token? Does it have some use?" Tornado asked curiously.

Lightning said, "Is it because the Blizzard Token can control Energy City's missile system, so we can't let it fall into Tyrannosaurus God's hands?"

Xiao Zhen truly didn't seem to know that the token could also control Energy City's missile system. After all, it had never been mentioned in the animation.

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't strange that the Blizzard Token could control Energy City's systems. Those two tokens had originally belonged to Energy City. There was no reason the token in Lightning's hand could control the city's systems while the one in Blizzard's hand could not.

Since the token in Lightning's hand could control the missile system, why couldn't the one in Blizzard City do the same?

Xiao Zhen shook his head and explained, "The reason we need to get the Blizzard Token quickly isn't because it can control Energy City. It's for another reason."

"Another reason? What reason? Does that token have some other purpose?" Tornado asked curiously.

Xiao Zhen glanced into the distance. This place was his to begin with, so there was no harm in saying it. Besides, Tyrannosaurus God knew this information as well.

Xiao Zhen explained, "You should have heard the legend that Energy City is hiding a large amount of Energy Amethyst, right?"

Lightning nodded and replied, "That is indeed a legend passed down in Energy City, but even we don't know whether it's true."

Xiao Zhen said carefully, "The legend of Energy City isn't false. There really is a large amount of Energy Amethyst here."

Upon hearing this news, the Motorcycle Warriors of Energy City became unsettled. They had lived in Energy City all this time, yet they didn't even know where the so-called Energy Amethyst was.

Xiao Zhen did not waste words and continued, "The Energy Amethyst is inside Fire Dragon Valley, and Fire Dragon Valley lies beneath the lava."

"Xiao Zhen, you aren't joking, are you?" Hot Wheels said in surprise.

Vanguard agreed. "Yeah! Xiao Zhen, if Fire Dragon Valley is beneath the lava, no one will be able to mine it."

Xiao Zhen explained, "You're overthinking it. The lava you see is merely an illusion. As long as you pass through it, you can reach an underground world. That is Fire Dragon Valley."

Hot Wheels asked curiously, "Xiao Zhen, how do you know that lava is fake? I saw it with my own eyes. It was even smoking."

Xiao Zhen waved a hand and said casually, "Hot Wheels, you're thinking too much. That's just a special effect. Just turn back and test it, and you'll know whether the lava is real or fake."

"Test it? Xiao Zhen, you aren't joking, are you? Who would dare test it? If that lava is real, we might not even have any parts left after getting melted," Hot Wheels said in shock.

Xiao Zhen slapped his forehead. He was nearly speechless and could only explain, "Hot Wheels, your intelligence is truly worrying. If you want to know whether the lava is real, just lower someone down with a rope. You don't need to make anyone jump in."

"Hehehe, I was just livening up the atmosphere. Go on!" Hot Wheels said awkwardly.

Vanguard reminded him, "Xiao Zhen, you still haven't said what the Blizzard Token is for."

Xiao Zhen said awkwardly, "Sorry, I got a little off topic. Let's get back to the main point."

Xiao Zhen took several deep breaths before continuing, "Fire Dragon Valley beneath the lava contains a large amount of Energy Amethyst. As for what Energy Amethyst can do, I think all of you know better than I do."

Everyone nodded in unison. As natives, they knew the benefits of Energy Amethyst far better than Xiao Zhen did.

Energy Amethyst could not only rapidly restore one's energy and health in a short period of time.

Xiao Zhen said carefully, "If we want to obtain the Energy Amethyst in Fire Dragon Valley, we must have two keys. Those two keys are Energy City's two tokens."

The reason Xiao Zhen wanted to open Fire Dragon Valley so quickly was partly because of the Energy Amethyst inside. More importantly, if the plot had not changed, there was also a little girl inside—Jingjing, the Mecha King of the Fierce Beast Clan.

If he could control Jingjing, he might be able to indirectly control the entire Fierce Beast Clan. Then he could defeat the Fierce Beast Clan more easily and complete the mission.

Tornado said, "Since the token is so important, I'll make the trip myself."

Lightning placed a hand on Tornado's shoulder and said silently, "Let me go instead. I want to see Blizzard too, even if it's only his... corpse."

The moment Xiao Zhen heard that Lightning wanted to leave Energy City, he felt that something bad would happen. He hurriedly stopped him. "Lightning City Lord, you cannot leave Energy City."

"Why? I only want to take a look," Lightning asked doubtfully.

Xiao Zhen said seriously, "Lightning City Lord, the token on you is extremely important to all of Energy City. Unless you can leave it behind in Energy City, you absolutely cannot leave. This is not only for your own good, but for Energy City's as well."

Of course Lightning understood the token's importance to Energy City. If someone gained control of it, they could activate the central missile system and launch devastating strikes against enemies within the city.

But his good brother had died, and he could not even go see his corpse. As for leaving the token in Energy City for someone trustworthy to safeguard, that was indeed a good solution.

Xiao Zhen added, "Lightning City Lord, I have to remind you that Tyrannosaurus God is watching outside right now. Once you leave Energy City—

Whether you carry the token or not, he will likely attack you. Energy City is in a crisis right now. We cannot lose you, our City Lord."

Lightning struggled with himself for a long while before finally letting out a helpless sigh. Then he looked at his beloved disciple and instructed, "All right, Tornado. In that case, you'll make the trip. But you must be careful with your words."

Tornado patted his chest confidently and said boldly, "Don't worry, Master. Leave this matter to me."

After Tornado spoke, he began walking back, clearly intending to leave right away. However, Xiao Zhen immediately called out to stop him.

Xiao Zhen said, "Wait, Tornado. I'll go with you!"

Tornado said confidently, "Mecha King, I can handle something this small by myself. There's no need to trouble you to go personally."

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said solemnly, "You probably still don't understand the grudge between yourselves and Blizzard City. If you go alone, you probably won't be able to get this done at all. I should go with you. If we truly can't reach an agreement then, I can only use the Mecha King's power."

At that moment, General Silver, who had been watching the show, stepped forward as well. He agreed, "That's right, Tornado. Take the Mecha King with you! Otherwise, with just you alone, you won't be able to persuade those people of Blizzard City."

Tornado asked doubtfully, "Is the grudge between us and Blizzard City really that deep?"

Xiao Zhen walked over to Tornado, patted his thigh, and said slowly, "Let's go first. I'll tell you on the way."

Vanguard said, "Xiao Zhen, should Blaze and I go with you? With our Combined Ultimate Technique, it would be a little safer."

Xiao Zhen shook his head and refused. "I'm afraid that won't work. Blizzard City is a city built amid ice and snow. Its structure is fairly simple, and it is surrounded by sheer cliffs. Cars can't drive up there. Of course, many Fierce Beast Clan troops would have difficulty getting up there as well."

Blaze said, "If that's the case, then you must be careful."

"Mm, Blaze is right. Tornado, you must keep the Mecha King safe on the way."
