Chapter 550 What Lies Beneath the Dragon Vein
Ye Wanxi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down: "Third Senior Brother, what exactly is pressed beneath the Dragon Vein?"
Like Ye Wanxi, Qi Yingxuan was also an unfortunate member who knew nothing about this matter.
After a long moment of stunned silence, he finally came to his senses and pointed at Jun Wuduan, yelling, "Third brother, you damned fox! You've been secretly plotting with our eldest brother behind our backs again. What's that thing underneath? How come we didn't know? No, did Second and Fourth brothers know too? Damn it, am I the only one kept in the dark?"
Jun Wuduan skillfully ignored his agitation and asked Feng Tianyu with a smile, "May I say?"
Feng Tianyu glanced at him coldly, not giving him the chance: "Hou, there's a Hou lying under there."
"Hou?" Ye Wanxi and the other person's expressions changed slightly.
Wu Chi looked somewhat bewildered: "What is that thing?"
"Ancient books record that the Hou was originally a man-eating beast from the north, shaped like a dog. It was said to be a divine beast from the sea, shaped like a horse with scales, breathing fire, extremely fierce, and consuming dragon brains. This means that the Hou was originally a strange beast from the north that ate people. It was somewhat similar in size to a dog. Legend has it that it was a divine beast from the sea, shaped like a horse with scales, able to breathe fire, extremely fierce, and liked to eat dragon brains."
The Wu family members' expressions changed drastically: "They eat people and like to eat dragon brains? Isn't that a monster?"
“It wouldn’t be wrong to call it a monster, but this thing has…” Jun Wuduan was about to say more when Xiao Jihui interrupted him loudly.
"That's enough. Everything else is negotiable, but that thing absolutely cannot be released."
Xiao Jihui's sudden outburst startled the Wu family members, but upon closer reflection, they could understand it. Such a terrifying monster ate dragon brains and even human beings.
Wouldn't releasing it bring disaster to humanity? Of course not, but they just don't understand how such a terrifying monster could be related to virus research and saving lives.
Ye Wanxi had no such question. After learning that in addition to suppressing half of her senior brother's magic power, a Hou was also suppressed under the dragon vein, her mind went blank for a moment.
But after calming down and thinking about it, she roughly guessed why her senior brother, who had clearly regained his memories of his past life and retrieved a portion of his magical power, didn't take the opportunity to reclaim that half of his magical power as well.
Therefore, there is no such thing as magic power being integrated with the dragon vein, and withdrawing magic power would shake the dragon vein.
All of this was just a lie told by the eldest brother to keep himself from worrying. The real reason was that he had to suppress the beast and prevent it from easily running away and harming people.
Ye Wanxi was a little angry, angry at Feng Tianyu for concealing the truth, and also felt a little sorry for him for bearing it all alone.
Just as he was about to say something, Feng Tianyu's face suddenly turned pale, and he clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Senior Brother!"
Ye Wanxi completely forgot about the Hou and was almost scared out of her wits. She rushed over to support the unsteady Feng Tianyu.
Seeing this, Jun Wuduan and the others stopped arguing, their expressions changed slightly, and they gathered around Feng Tianyu.
"What happened? Why did he suddenly vomit blood? Senior Brother, don't scare me! Third Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, come and see him quickly."
"Junior sister, don't worry, let me take a look."
Jun Wuduan quickly stepped forward, wanting to grab Feng Tianyu's hand, but was stopped by him: "No need to look, I'm fine, I just couldn't control myself for a moment and suffered some internal injuries."
"You vomited blood and you're still saying you're fine!" Ye Wanxi said disapprovingly, her eyes red and looking like she might cry at any moment. "And what do you mean by 'couldn't hold it in for a moment'? You..."
"Literally, it just came out."
"What?" This time, it was Xiao Jihui who screamed. The shock he experienced today was far greater than that of the others present.
The fact that a mythical beast was suppressed beneath the dragon vein was something that not only Ye Wanxi and others knew, but even he himself had only heard about it once from his father before entering the special department.
The purpose was to tell him that neither Ye Wanxi nor Feng Tianyu were ordinary people, and they had to be treated with respect and not offended.
Especially in the Fengtian Domain, no one would have imagined that the mysterious energy suppressing the monster beneath the dragon vein was actually created by such a young man.
That alone is enough to make everyone treat him like an ancestor.
And then, in just a short while, the great secret hidden deep beneath the dragon vein was revealed so bluntly by these few people. And that wasn't all; the suppressed monster actually managed to escape? It escaped!
"Mr. Feng, what exactly happened? How did that thing get out? Where did it go? Are the people nearby in danger?"
Xiao Jihui's face turned pale, and he had already imagined countless terrible possibilities in his mind.
Feng Tianyu coughed twice, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood. He felt much better afterward and said, "That guy should have woken up a long time ago, but he was just pretending to be well-behaved and was looking for an opportunity to break the seal. Just now, the evil energy rose into the sky from the southeast, giving it an opportunity to escape."
After hearing Feng Tianyu's explanation, Xiao Jihui was not comforted at all. He said, "Where is it now? How can we catch it? No, I have to tell my dad about this right away."
"Your dad probably already knows."
The area around the dragon vein is usually guarded. When the Hou broke through the seal and emerged from the ground, the commotion was bound to be significant. There was no reason why the people guarding that area wouldn't have noticed it.
Unless, all the people in that area have been eaten or killed by the Hou to silence them.
However, based on the information relayed back from the remaining divine consciousness of Fengtianyu, the little beast should not have harmed anyone after it ran away.
"Although the Hou broke through the seal and escaped, it had been sealed for many years and its strength was no longer what it used to be. In addition, it must have exhausted all its strength to break through the seal. Even if it escaped, it must be exhausted. It should be impossible for it not to harm people in a short time."
Feng Tianyu clutched his aching chest and breathed a sigh of relief. The Hou breaking through the seal and running away was not without its benefits for him.
What he said to Ye Wanxi before wasn't a lie. His half of his magic power had indeed become one with the dragon vein because he was suppressing that thing and was too deeply connected with it.
Having experienced the impact of the Hou, they have gradually drifted apart from it.
Feng Tianyu could feel that the power that had been separated from his body for a long time was gradually returning and nourishing the hidden injuries inside his body.
Give him a little time, and he can retrieve them all and return them to their rightful owner.
Xiao Jihui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but his face was still full of worry: "But after all, it is a ferocious beast that only eats people. Even if it is currently unable to harm people due to its limited abilities, once it recovers, it is hard to guarantee that it will not go berserk. It is best to find it as soon as possible."
