This dragon's roar seemed to be a signal, prompting many of the awakened ones who were still observing to finally take action.
Even Xue Yue, Yun Che, and Xiao Zhan on the viewing platform couldn't help but stand up, frequently looking towards the swamp, their eyes filled with eagerness and longing, afraid that someone would beat them to it.
This time, even more people rushed into the swamp.
The crowd surged toward the swamp like madmen, recklessly, and even the awakened military personnel were unable to stop them.
Zhou Xuan coldly watched the retreating figures of the awakened ones rushing into the swamp, a sneer playing on his lips. He gestured to the military personnel and said coldly:
"Don't stop them. They're just asking for death if they go in. The dragon vein isn't something you can get on a first-come, first-served basis."
After giving the order, Zhou Xuan's cold gaze slowly swept over the observation deck behind him.
He knew in his heart that these people standing on the observation deck were his real competitors.
Just as Zhou Xuan had predicted, a series of pitiful cries for help came from the direction of the swamp only moments later:
"Help!"
"Someone, please save me."
The Awakened Ones, who were just running at high speed, suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet become incredibly soft.
Before I could even react, I lost my footing and sank in instantly.
Looking around, all the awakened ones who had rushed into the swamp at high speed were now deeply mired in it, unable to extricate themselves.
Their bodies were being held captive by monsters in the swamp, and they were sinking deeper and deeper.
An awakened being struggling in the swamp suddenly sensed something and screamed in terror:
There's something down there!
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look, only to see the Awakened One being dragged into the swamp in an instant, leaving only a scream echoing in the air.
Immediately afterwards, another person let out a painful howl, as if something in the swamp was tearing at his body:
"ah!"
My leg!
In an instant, the swamp was filled with the cries for help from the awakened ones:
"Help me—"
"Ouch, that hurts!"
The screams rose and fell, like a living hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Even though they shouted loudly, no one dared to come to their rescue.
After all, the poisonous miasma formed by the pink mist was already a major obstacle, not to mention the unknown dangers beneath the swamp.
"Bang."
"Bang!"
The sound of bursts of energy tearing through the air could be heard continuously.
Seeing the people around them being swallowed by the swamp, the remaining trapped Awakened Ones unleashed all their energy in a frenzy.
They risked their lives and health, frantically unleashing all sorts of supernatural abilities in a final desperate attempt to break free from the swamp's hold.
However, this eerie swamp is not only highly poisonous, but also seems to have an infinite suction force, capable of devouring not only their bodies, but also absorbing the energy they release.
Soon, the energy of those awakened beings was exhausted, their struggles became increasingly futile, and their bodies sank deeper and deeper into the swamp.
Within a few breaths, most of the awakened ones who had rushed into the swamp had been pulled underground by the swamp.
"They're all finished, they're all gone!"
Everyone around the observation deck stared intently at the situation on the swamp, their eyes filled with fear.
As the thick pink mist slowly drifted in, the people near the observation deck were about to retreat again when they discovered that the pink mist dissipated with the wind not far in front of the observation deck.
This scene also made Li Yu curious about how City Lord Li Yang had such a precise grasp of the distance between the viewing platform and the swamp.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
A strange sound came from the swamp, attracting everyone's attention.
The sound of bubbles could be heard intermittently coming from the spot where those awakened ones had disappeared.
At the same time, all the awakened ones sensed something and stared wide-eyed at it.
Beneath the swamp, a faint light could be seen slowly swimming by, constantly devouring the corpses of awakened beings being pulled into the swamp.
Its enormous size resembled that of a giant crocodile, its scales shimmering faintly in the churning mud.
Li Yu squinted, momentarily doubting whether she was seeing things.
He rubbed his eyes, then activated his Triple Soul-Devouring Eyes and examined them carefully.
"You're not mistaken, the dragon vein has taken shape!"
Li Yu murmured to herself, though a hint of doubt and surprise flashed in her eyes.
The appearance of this dragon vein is quite different from the ones he has seen before.
You should know that he was someone who had personally witnessed the rise of two dragon veins.
Moreover, he has already gained the dragon vein's recognition and has a deep memory of the dragon vein's form and aura.
Upon seeing the figure beneath the swamp, everyone gasped in amazement:
"That vein that swam across from the bottom of the swamp just now must be a dragon vein!"
Just then, the faint aura of the dragon vein after it took shape drifted to the viewing platform.
Everyone around the observation deck was stunned. Suddenly, an Awakened One entered a water elemental form, soaring into the air and letting out a long roar:
"The power of the dragon vein belongs to me, Dai Bo!"
"You dare to challenge me? The dragon vein is mine!" Another person charged forward like a hungry wolf.
"Get out of my way, let me handle this."
At this moment, those awakened individuals who had been hiding their strength rushed out from the crowd one by one.
The previous horrific scene was still vivid in their minds, but they seemed to have forgotten those who had just been swallowed by the swamp.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan couldn't wait any longer and raised his spear, letting out a loud shout as he charged out like a tiger descending a mountain:
"With battle blood as the catalyst, the dragon vein should acknowledge me!"
Yun Che, enveloped in purple aura, flew out from the observation deck: "It's time for my demon race to rise again."
