Chapter 123 Library Incident
Zhou Wen immediately activated the Lotus Buddha Body, and at the same time, the silver wings behind him spread out. He retreated more than ten meters in an instant. His left hand, wrapped in the lotus arm guard, shattered the large pieces of steel and concrete that were thrown at him.
Boom!
Amidst the flying debris and dust, Zhou Wen saw a huge green-scaled monster snake falling from the hole in the roof, smashing the library's bookshelves to pieces, sending wood chips and paper scraps flying everywhere, and a large hole was smashed into the ground.
A large amount of debris hit Zhou Wen, but fortunately he had already opened the Lotus Buddha Body early on, and the flying debris could not cause any damage to his body.
The green-scaled monster snake was extremely huge, hundreds of meters long and as thick as a water tank. It even had a pair of huge wing-like fins on its back.
The students in the library dodged and screamed as they fled outside. Although Zhou Wen didn't know what was going on, he knew that he couldn't stay here for long. He was about to escape to the library like the other students, but he saw the giant snake open its mouth wide and was about to swallow a student next to it.
The student was too close to where the snake fell, and a piece of flying steel rod pierced his calf, nailing his body to the ground. He could not break free for a while, and could not run away even if he wanted to.
Zhou Wen took a look and found that the student was Fang Ruoxi. With a thought, the silver-winged flying ant immediately separated from his body and turned into a silver stream of light. Before the big snake was about to swallow Fang Ruoxi, it pulled her body out.
The silver-winged flying ant picked up the injured Fang Ruoxi in its claws and flew back to Zhou Wen. The angry big snake raised its neck and opened its mouth to pounce.
Zhou Wen was about to run for his life, but suddenly he heard a burst of gunfire. A large number of soldiers jumped out of the hole, holding submachine guns in their hands, and opened fire fiercely at the big snake.
Ordinary thermal weapons, let alone bullets, even nuclear bombs, have very limited damage to extra-dimensional creatures and may even promote their mutation.
However, the soldiers' bullets hit the snake, piercing its scales and leaving bloody holes on its body. The snake screamed and twisted its body to try to escape.
But it was too late to escape now. The soldiers' crossfire swept through the snake, and in just a few tens of seconds, it turned the extremely ferocious giant snake into a hornet's nest, with snake blood flowing everywhere.
"Master Wen, are you okay?" A young man who looked like an officer rushed over, looked Zhou Wen up and down, and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine." Zhou Wen recognized the officer. It was An Tianzuo's adjutant Asheng.
"I'm glad you're okay. Master Wen, please go back first. There are still some things that need to be dealt with here." A Sheng called two soldiers over and asked them to escort Zhou Wen and Fang Ruoxi out of the library.
Fang Ruoxi's calf was injured, with the steel rod still stuck in it. Fortunately, the injury was not serious. As soon as the two of them left the library, the college's medical team rushed over and a doctor treated Fang Ruoxi.
"Thank you, Zhou Wen. I treated you like that before, but you still risked your life to save me." Fang Ruoxi said while lying on the bib, looking at Zhou Wen. She had always been upset about not being able to team up with Zhou Wen for the college entrance examination.
"It's just a small favor, not really a risk. If it were any other student, I would have saved them too. You don't have to think too much about it." Zhou Wen said as he turned and left.
The middle-aged female doctor who was treating Fang Ruoxi's wounds almost laughed when she heard what Zhou Wen said. Seeing Fang Ruoxi's disappointed face, she said to her, "Little girl, it's better not to have a man like this who is single because of his ability, so as to avoid being pissed off by him in the future."
Fang Ruoxi blushed: "We are just ordinary classmates, don't think too much."
What happened in the library caused quite a stir in the college, and the students were talking about it and discussing it.
The academy quickly gave an official explanation, saying that a criminal controlled a companion pet to escape and mistakenly entered the academy while being pursued by the military. Both the criminal and the companion pet were shot dead on the spot by the military.
Zhou Wen had seen the giant snake with his own eyes, but he felt that it did not look like a companion pet with an owner, but more like a wild creature from another dimension.
Originally, Zhou Wen himself thought this was impossible. After all, it should be impossible for wild dimensional creatures to leave the dimensional realm. However, when he thought of the antelope in his dormitory, Zhou Wen felt that it was not impossible.
"If all creatures from other dimensions can break out of the dimensional realm, what will the human world become?" Zhou Wen shuddered at the thought of this possibility.
The number of powerful humans has indeed been increasing in the past few decades, and epic-level strongmen are no longer rare, but compared with those extra-dimensional creatures, they are still far behind.
Not to mention those far away, like the Three-Faced Buddha in the Small Buddhist Temple and the powerful man in Laojun Mountain who has never even shown his face, it is probably difficult to find a match among humans.
There are many places like this on Earth.
"If one day all the creatures from other dimensions really break out of the other-dimensional realm, it will probably be the end of the world for mankind. We must have enough strength to survive." Zhou Wen felt that that day was not far away. The appearance of antelopes and giant snakes made him feel more and more insecure.
"I still need more powerful strength." Zhou Wen wanted to improve his strength more urgently, at least to have the capital to survive the disaster.
After returning to his dormitory, Zhou Wen planned to take a shower, change his clothes that were covered with dust, paper scraps and torn, and then take a shower before continuing to play games.
But when he was taking off his clothes, he found that there was a conch shell the size of an egg stuck to the inside of his clothes.
The conch shell was colorful and very beautiful. Zhou Wen picked it up casually and was about to throw it away, but when he took it in his hand and looked at it, he was slightly stunned.
The inside of the conch shell was actually filled with clear blue sea water. Even though the opening of the conch shell was facing downwards, the sea water inside did not fluctuate at all, and not even a drop of sea water was left out.
Zhou Wen was a little surprised, but suddenly he saw waves in the sea, and ripples spread out in circles. In the center of the sea, something was slowly floating up.
Zhou Wen became alert and quickly threw away the conch shell. At the same time, he summoned his companion pet to merge with himself and prepared for battle.
The conch shell that Zhou Wen had thrown away was suspended in mid-air. A petite and beautiful figure emerged from the rippling sea water.
It was a creature with a human body and a fish tail, just like the legendary mermaid, with golden curly hair, ears that looked like fish fins, and eyes as blue as the sea. It seemed to have some kind of indescribable charm.
"Is this a mermaid or a siren?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly. Now he was sure that this was definitely a wild creature from another dimension.
