Chapter 101 Chapter 101
"Come this way. Don't crowd. Everyone can pass safely. Don't be afraid!"
Chaos reigned in Donghai City. The two thunderbolts that had struck earlier already contained a rich, strange energy, fueled by the overwhelming fear that had spawned countless terrifying creatures. Though their hasty creation and initial power were low, they were enough to incite even greater fear among ordinary people, thus continuously absorbing nutrients for their evolution.
In just over ten minutes, these strange creatures gradually grew stronger and larger, sweeping over like a surging wave. They waved their gradually formed limbs and attacked humans everywhere. Seeing the situation getting worse, some people with special abilities finally stood up.
According to the rules, revealing the truth to ordinary people would result in being locked up in the "small black room," but now that things had come to this, there was no need to conceal it any longer. Furthermore, the psychics had persisted to this day, committed to protecting the lives and safety of ordinary people, and in this situation, they couldn't just stand by and watch.
Let's hold people accountable after the fact, but we must not just stand by and watch the tragedy happen.
Initially, only a few psychics stepped forward, but as each one followed, more followed. Inspired by the first, others gradually rose to the occasion, standing shoulder to shoulder with them, forming a solid line of defense for the people behind them. The strange attack was so fierce that the psychics were almost unable to withstand it. However, just as their defense was about to collapse, a force similar to their own, yet different, appeared beside them.
They are brothers and sisters of the demon race.
One of the psychics was very surprised: "I didn't expect you guys would actually help me. Thank you very much."
The leading demon grinned. "It's a different era now, why are you still so stereotyped? We demons live in the same world as you do. Our two tribes prosper together and suffer together. And if Your Majesty were here, he would surely wish to see us unite and help each other."
Both sides smiled at each other.
The two different energies intertwined together, completely isolating the terrifying weirdness from the outside.
People looked at their backs in astonishment. As their worldview was shattered, an incomparable sense of security suddenly surged in their hearts.
Fortunately, they are not alone in this cruel world.
Some people realized something the moment they saw the weirdness - everything described in the comic was real, the world was not as stable and peaceful as they thought, and even people with super powers and weirdness really existed.
However, for some reason, when they saw those strange things, apart from being startled at first, they didn't feel too much fear. Some even thought that these guys were just so-so in real life, far less impressive than the ones drawn by the old thief.
Someone wanted to talk about the comics, but when he was about to utter the first syllable, his expression suddenly went blank and he completely forgot what he wanted to say.
"Run to the air-raid shelter, it's safe there, and the weirdos can't get in!" Evacuating everyone in just two hours was simply a fantasy. Their only option was the underground air-raid shelter. These air-raid shelters could not only protect against overhead thermal weapons, but also against attacks from superpowers and weirdos.
It wasn't just the supernatural beings and demons who bravely stepped forward. The chaos in the city didn't last long. Soon, countless ordinary people took the initiative to step forward and spontaneously led the evacuation. Among them were police officers, sanitation workers, food delivery drivers... young and old. Thanks to everyone's combined efforts, within just a few minutes, most of the city's residents were evacuated.
Fortunately, although the Dragon Lord was cruel, he kept his promise and meant one hour at a time. He did not participate in the battle in advance, otherwise they would have had no place to cry.
Zhu Changan immediately stepped forward to help evacuate the crowd, and then joined the fight alongside numerous other psychics, finally breathing a sigh of relief after the official rescue team arrived. Only then did he turn around and glance at the giant dragon in the sky with a look of doubt. He was quite intelligent, and based on the information the dragon had previously provided, Zhu Changan quickly determined that the dragon before him was none other than the legendary Dragon Lord.
But if it is the real Dragon Lord, then what about Mr. You Lin? It is impossible that there are two Dragon Lords, right?
Zhu Changan hadn't considered the possibility that the giant dragon was You Lin. After all, You Lin knew Yu Heng's identity and where he was. He could have just spoken to him in person, and he wouldn't have used this method to force him out. And while You Lin might be a bit grumpy and quiet, he wasn't someone who disregarded life.
After his conjectures were rejected one after another, Zhu Changan's hair was almost scratched into a mess from scratching himself. Sure enough, he was best at just charging ahead. At least he could still achieve some results with his fists. Even if all his brain cells were dead, he still couldn't figure it out.
It would be nice if Xuan Ji were here.
The dragon watched everything below with a cold gaze, making no attempt to intervene. Time ticked by until a demon finally approached him and boldly declared, "Lord Dragon, no matter how many you kill here or how long you wait, it will be useless. Lord Phoenix died three thousand years ago. Even if you wait for eternity, he won't appear again."
Scarlet eyes glanced over coldly: "Dead?"
"In the past three thousand years, there has been no news of Master Phoenix's nirvana." The demon felt uneasy when he was stared at.
The dragon circled in the air and suddenly let out a sarcastic laugh. "As my dear friend, how could he die so easily? Even if I have to dig three feet underground, I will find him."
"Really? Well, before that, let's have a good fight first." Yan's figure suddenly appeared in the portal. He suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to maintain superficial calm.
The dragon glanced at him coldly, barely regaining some clarity: "It's you, the little brat who always follows him."
"It's me." Yan tilted his head and suddenly showed a gritted smile, then quickly launched an attack on the dragon's vital point.
Most of the demons like to fight with their true bodies, so when Zhu Changan looked up, he could see a green peacock in the sky chasing the giant dragon... no, attacking.
The poor little creature who was so weak and powerless that he could only be pinned to the ground can now fight back and forth with the dragon.
Whether in terms of personality or appearance, Yan's changes are too great. Even though the dragon can sense that Yan's soul remains the same, it can't help but doubt for a second: Is the Yan in front of it another monster in disguise?
"What did you do to the little cub?"
An hour ago, Mo Xuanji had fallen into a coma without any warning. Although multiple checks confirmed she was "asleep" and not seriously ill, the fact that she fell asleep without any warning and could not be awakened by any means was the biggest problem.
Among the demon race, only its parents could affect a cub out of thin air, and the timing of the dragon's appearance, breaking its seal, was so coincidental that Yan had to think twice. Fueled by all sorts of new and old grudges, Yan rushed forward.
The dragon subconsciously frowned: "What do you mean by little cub? What does it have to do with me?"
Yan's anger suddenly surged, and he laughed in anger. He looked at the dragon with a look that made him want to skin it alive: "Okay, okay, it has nothing to do with you, right? You damn scum dragon, die!"
The dragon was annoyed by such an inexplicable reason for starting a war, but at a certain moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly came into his chaotic mind.
The only thing Yan cares about the most is Phoenix. Anything that can make him lose his composure like this is either Phoenix or related to Phoenix. He just mentioned "little cub", and from the sound of it, the child is related to him.
The Phoenix's child is related to me, what a joke? The dragon thought half-consciously, but at a certain moment, a piece of information that he had long forgotten suddenly emerged and became extremely clear at this moment - many years ago, the Phoenix had asked him for a drop of blood.
Before it could figure it out, Yan, in his violent state, had already turned back into human form, and he gathered all his muscles and was about to swing towards his dragon head.
…
Penglai Academy.
The dean's face was pale, and he didn't care about the usual etiquette at all, and rushed directly into the principal's office.
Unexpectedly, behind the door was not the simply decorated office as before, but a vast grassland. The sun was high in the sky, but the light was not glaring. When I closed my eyes, I could faintly hear the sound of the wind.
It was as if some powerful being had brought the grassland scene into this small room.
Not far away stood a tall, sturdy dragon vine tree, identical to the one near the central lake of the academy. Beneath the tree stood a large chessboard, and the two people he was looking for were sitting on either side, happily playing chess.
The dean of studies was obviously used to this. He walked in quickly and stood beside the two of them.
"Principal, Vice Principal."
"What's got you so flustered?" The old man smiled and stroked his beard. He looked very old, hunched over, with long white hair, beard, and eyebrows piled on the ground. Looking at him, one would worry that he would step on them when he walked.
Shen Linan on the side slowly placed a chess piece.
"The school's connection with the outside world has been severed. Every teacher who went out to investigate has disappeared without a trace. Furthermore, the magic circle has detected faint, strange fluctuations, and the students are worried..."
"It's really like this." The old man shook his head, then patted the dean and said soothingly, "Sit down and play this game with us."
"But……"
"As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. What's more, the game has reached the most critical moment." Shen Linan still had a calm smile on his face.
The dean of studies was filled with doubts, but seeing that the two calm and composed bosses had no intention of explaining, he could only suppress his doubts for the time being and sit aside quietly.
He didn't know much about chess, he only knew that the two seemed evenly matched, and in another confrontation, the white chess piece captured one of the black chess pieces.
Shen Linan seemed in a good mood. As if sensing something, he suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through space and falling straight into the distance. After a long moment, he shook his head and revealed a helpless smile: "Someone has obtained my inheritance. After three thousand years, those idiots finally discovered the secret."
The timing was just perfect.
