Boom!!!
The sound of a massive explosion ripped through the night sky, carrying with it thunderous, rumbling echoes, startling countless of birds as they squawked and flew around under the moon.
“Wha… What happened.”
On the small square at the mouth of Qifeng village, Baldy Qiang and the students of class four looked at the direction of the explosion in shock.
“I’d told you, the explorer is really on Wutong Mountain.” Sun Wen had a eureka moment as he stood up and made an exclamation, as though trying to prove that he did not lie.
“Sit down.” Baldy Qiang glared at him and summoned his Colossi Warbear as he got ready to head to the place where the explosion originated. He was now a little worried about that new student. If anything happens to him…. then his year-end bonus this year would be a goner.
Pfah, it’s not because I’m after any bonuses, yes, it’s because I’m a good teacher.
“Sir… Sir… there are a lot of mutant creatures,” a girl said in a trembling voice as she looked at the direction of Wutong Mountain in horror.
Bald Qiang, who was immersed in his own fantasy, was startled and looked at the direction the girl was pointing at. He then saw pairs of green eyes lit up in the darkness as they quickly advanced towards his direction.
“Damn it! Everyone, summon your pet beast and prepare for battle. Big Bear, go to the front, and use Frenzied Flurry on the ground.” Bald Qiang had no time to consider other things and quickly barked instructions.
“Raaawrrr!!”
The Colossi Warbear roared, as it got up on both legs as it clenched its fist. Shimmering light glowed on its furry paws, and struck at the ground like a flowing breeze.
Boom boom boom!!!
The speed of the Colossi Warbear’s fists got faster and faster. The earth and faster flew as a violent tremor rang out from the ground. With the Colossi Warbear as the boundary, the ground in front was smashed up and formed a defensive buffer composed of crushed rock slabs.
Although the students of Class 4 were shocked, they still summoned their pet beasts as ordered by Baldy Qiang.
Seeing that the Colossi Warbear had completed the construction of the defensive belt, Baldy Qiang breathed a sigh of relief before glancing at Wutong Mountain and sighed inwardly. “I hope you’re safe.”
…
“Cough! Cough!”
Shao Zifeng lay on the ground and coughed violently as the searing pain woke him up a little. Recalling the explosion earlier, Shao Zifeng felt fear. While he was far away from the epicenter of the explosion, the shock wave was still enough to send him flying, and the billowing heat made him think that he was being roasted alive.
With one arm propped against the ground, Shao Zifeng sat up strenuously, leaning against the stump of the pecan tree that had been blown off. His body twitched from time to time, and his handsome face grimaced in pain.
After regaining some strength, he struggled to to open the bag that had fell on the side. The elemental egg wrapped in the towel was still intact. Heaving a sigh of relief, he gently stroked it. “Thank goodness for the powdered dust that you have left behind. Otherwise I’ll be dead.”
Only after taking out a healing potion and bandages from the platform, and simply bandaging himself did Shao Zifeng raised his head and looked around.
The sight that entered his eyes was a broken wall. Perhaps due to disrepair, the Taoist temple in the Legend of the Phoenix no longer existed. On where it originally stood, it was nothing but charred grounds and some remaining wooden beams were still burning quietly.
The pecan trees around the taoist Temple looked like they have been pruned. All of the dry branches were torn by the shock wave of the explosion, leaving only half-stumps on the ground.
Shao Zifeng felt sad, while he had to do it to survive, he still felt a little uncomfortable watching the taoist temple getting wiped out.
After fastening the torn travel bag, and hung it on his chest again, Shao Zifeng stood up tremblingly while using the pecan tree as support.
Hiss…
It hurt.
The injury this time was serious enough. If it weren’t for that knife blocking the first two blows, he’d probably meet his end today.
Crashh!
“Who goes there?!”
Shao Zifeng ignored the pain and turned around and took a defensive stance, staring solemnly at rustling bricks and tiles.
Under the moonlight, the burning wood crackled and gravel and mud fell from the slightly raised pile of bricks and tiles from time to time as if something was about to break out from beneath, and that caused Shao Zifeng’s heart to tighten.
He decided to take the initiative and searched around. Not too far from him, the flashing blade was half hidden in the soil. He staggered to retrieve the blade. The wooden grip had long been turned to ash, leaving only a thin iron tang.
Holding the half-broken kitchen knife, he felt a little comfort in his heart. He then slowly approached the pile of broken bricks and tiles that were making noise from time to time.
Carefully picking up a piece of tile alone had exhausted Shao Zifeng’s strength. His injury was too serious and even moving a piece of tile would require a long rest.
Crash!
Just as he was about to push the pile of bricks and tiles aside, a gleaming spider leg struck out from the gap. Shao Zifeng was startled and took a step back. He took the blade and slashed at the spider leg, but before the blade could even reach the spider leg, it fell limply onto the ground.
He put away the kitchen knife with some doubts as he took a few more steps back, staring at the spot where the spider leg was sticking out.
Crash!
A broken spider was pushed up by something and then overturned onto the ground. Immediately after, a person rolled out from the pile of bricks and tiles before Shao Zifeng.
The person who rolled down was naked, with only a few clothes pieces hanging on his body. The bare skin suffered extensive burns, revealing blood red and charred subdermal tissues that were mixed blood.
There was peeling skin on the face, and one eyelid had completely disappeared. The bleak eyeballs were exposed unobstructedly to the air as his chest and abdomen rose and fell slightly, proving that he was not yet dead.
Shao Zifeng saw the scene before him and felt nauseous. He resisted the discomfort in his heart as he took a step forward and pressed the kitchen knife onto the person’s unprotected neck.
“I…I don’t want to die… Please… Please… spare me…. I… I have… some use!”
Seeing Shao Zifeng, Pei Yong’s dimmed eyes suddenly burst out with a strong desire to survive. He raised a scorched hand to try to grab Shao Zifeng’s arm but it dropped weakly.
Shao Zifeng wanted to cut him down, but he knew that he could not do that. After that violent explosion on Wutong Mountain, be it teacher or student, everyone would have heard that. If the latter had died in the explosion it was still alright as Shao Zifeng could claim legitimate self-defense.
However, if he killed him with a knife, forget whether the self-defense clause would work or not, trouble would be inevitable, and he was afraid of trouble.
He knew what was right, but as soon as he saw his own injury, Shao Zifeng could not calm down, and wanted to tear that person into pieces.
“Divine Origin… I’m…. a dark piece of… the Order of Divine Origin… I… I’m useful!”
Pei Yong looked at SHao Zifeng’s uncertain look and became more and more anxious. He decided to reveal some more information to prove that he still had value.
Shao Zifeng sighed a little, and in the end he could not kill him. He continued to press the knife against Pei Yong’s neck and looked at him impassively. “Why were you trying to kill me?”
“You… ruined… the experiment… So… you must die…” Pei Yong took a few deep breathes before looking at Shao Zifeng pleadingly. “Please… save me… and my wife! I… will tell… you everything!”
Looking at the burnt man, Shao Zifeng hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone, and prepared to make a call to the MAD. Just as the call was about to be made, a figure with a hearty smile appeared in his mind. His hand shuddered, and immediately cut the call.
Every time he thought of Xiao Li from the Mutant Administration Department, Shao Zifeng always felt a sense of danger and was extremely uncomfortable.
He then quickly swiped through the phone screen, and pulled out another number. After taking a deep breath, he pressed the dial button.
Beep….
“Hello.”
…
“Director Luo, it’s me, Shao Zifeng.”
