Man at the top of the food chain

Volume 5: Burning Earth Chapter 52: Shadows before Dawn (3)

A late-night snack with the local characteristics of Ice Castle appeared in front of Zhu Rong, but the entire eating process was almost carried out in silence.

Apart from the melodious music in my ears, there was almost no other sound. Pluto didn't ask any questions anymore. It seemed that he had talked too much just now, and he seemed to be immersed in delicious food.

The two of them ate for about ten minutes, and Zhu Rong put down his knife and fork first. Pluto raised his head and glanced at him: "Doesn't it suit your taste?"

"No, it's very delicious." Zhu Rong said seriously, "But I've already eaten it before coming here."

Pluto nodded, took a few more bites, and then put down the knife and fork. He snapped his fingers and saw two maids walking outside the door and starting to clear the table.

Pluto looked at Zhu Rong's reserved look and smiled slightly: "Then let's do some exercises after dinner."

"Exercise after meals?" Zhu Rong asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Pluto nodded: "Mamon and Yulia from the Star Alliance have already arrived. Because of Li Anping's death, Daxia Longque has been eliminated early. The next step is our confrontation with the Star Alliance. Although the Queen has reached The sixth level, but if you are one-on-one, you may not be my opponent." Pluto's words revealed strong confidence, and an aura like a mountain, like a sea, and like a prison emerged from his body. It makes people believe it.

"But Mammon and Yulia obviously don't think so, so I can give them a warning." At this point, before Zhu Rong understood what Pluto meant, he felt an astonishing thought coming from Pluto's body. out.

The next moment, the thought energy was like a radar. It was retracted and returned immediately, but it instantly scanned all places within a radius of five kilometers.

"Haha, there are indeed a lot of little bugs spying on us." Pluto smiled and drank the red wine in the glass: "There are 56 people with abilities who are not ours. As an after-dinner exercise, let's clean up."

Zhu Rong stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

On a building one kilometer away, Li Qian was holding a military telescope and looking at the palace in the distance.

Roland on the side walked around uneasily and said to Li Qian: "Okay? This is the last place. Let's go directly after watching it."

"Wait a minute." Li Qian looked through the telescope at all the visible places in the palace: "I have a look at the last few places."

"Be careful. If you see them, don't look into their eyes. Many masters have very strong intuition. You may be discovered even if you look at their eyes."

"I know, you've said it ten times." Li Qian said angrily: "We are a whole kilometer away from them. There are so many people in the city, and there is no ghost until they find out."

"Anyway, be careful, in case they find out..."

When Luo Lan said something normal, he heard Li Qian make a sound.

"What's wrong?"

"I found Zhu Rong!" Li Qian stared at the telescope and saw Zhu Rong eating with a black-haired man behind a floor-to-ceiling glass window. As a member of Daxia Longque, Li Qian has naturally seen Zhu Rong's information. However, Pluto is too mysterious, and no one in Daxia Longque has ever seen his photo.

"Zhu Rong!" Hearing this name, Roland's heart tightened. Facing this rebellious strong man, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"Who is the man eating with him? It seems that his status is higher than that of Zhu Rong." Li Qian said while constantly observing Zhu Rong and Pluto with the telescope. However, she didn't dare to look directly into the other person's eyes or even face, only looking at him from the side. After staying in Daxia Longque for so long, she also knows that strong people like Zhu Rong have experienced countless life and death battles, and their intuition and induction are very strong. Any small stimulus may attract their attention.

But even so, when the sight of her telescope lightly swept over Pluto's body, she still had a strange feeling.

"He... seemed to have glanced at me?" Li Qian said with some confusion: "Is it my imagination?"

"What." Roland suddenly became nervous: "Whether it's an illusion or not, it's too dangerous. Let's leave quickly."

"Wait, they seem to be doing something." Li Qian noticed that Zhu Rong put down his knife and fork, and then Pluto also put down his knife and fork, and then the two said a few words.

The next moment, an astonishing momentum rose into the sky, and a sigh like hell, and like the decayed breath of the underworld, spewed out.

Death and fear, all ability users within a five-kilometer radius felt a breath so powerful that it was suffocating. At this moment, it was as if hell had descended on the world.

What they don't know is that Pluto gives them this feeling because of his thoughts sent out through the underworld.

But at this moment, they all knew one thing.

"Who is it! What a terrifying thought!"

"We've been discovered! Let's go!"

"It's a level five ability user. I feel like he must be Hades. Run away!"

Li Qian slowly put down the telescope, opened her mouth and moved, and finally said bitterly: "Is it Pluto?"

"I don't know." Roland swallowed and looked nervously at the palace in the distance, as if it was the entrance to hell.

"This level of aura has surpassed all the fifth-level ability users I have seen. Let's go, we must leave here immediately and run away!"

After saying that, Roland pulled Li Qian and ran towards the corridor.

But just as everyone was running away, a flame shot up into the sky, almost lighting up the entire night sky.

Some of those who escaped looked at the sky stupidly, some ran faster, and some hid.

Li Qian and Roland looked back and ran faster.

A deadly sense of threat was coming from the sky.

"It's Zhu Rong..."

"What does he want to do!"

"Is he going to kill us all?"

The next moment, the God of Fire in the sky gave the answer with action.

A stream of thought surged out of his body, turning into a straight line, sweeping a three-kilometer radius clockwise. Then 56 flames emerged from Zhu Rong's body and flew in all directions.

Although he didn't use his full strength, the temperature of the flame had exceeded 3000°. There was no burning phenomenon wherever he passed, and everything was turned into ashes in an instant.

Even the snow on the ground began to melt in large pieces, and half of the citizens of Morroco felt that the weather seemed to be warming up.

But those who were targeted by the flames definitely didn't think so. It was an attack like a nightmare.

No thought, ability, building, armor, or ground could resist it. The flames penetrated all obstacles, leaving only ashes wherever they passed, and they could only watch the flames turn one person after another into ashes. After the flames killed the target, they disappeared instantly, without causing any extra damage, showing Zhu Rong's ultimate control.

Roland and Li Qian rushed to the bottom of the stairs desperately. The temperature on the roof was rising, and the terrifying light illuminated their backs. At this moment, Li Qian was completely dominated by fear.

Facing the attack of Hades, Li Qian and the others had no way to resist it.

Suddenly, she thought of Li Anping. Sadness, grief, happiness, at this moment before death, she felt countless emotions surging in her heart, and scenes related to Li Anping appeared in front of her. Just like the moment before death, a short life flashed through her mind like a horse-drawn show.

'Maybe it's better this way...'

Li Qian turned around and stood still, looking at the corridor that was completely illuminated, just like daytime.

The next moment, two flames melted the wall and shot directly towards Roland and Li Qian in the corridor. The amazing heat directly curled the hair of the two people. Before they got close, Li Qian and Roland's skin had already been covered with burn marks.

Facing the death blow, Li Qian closed her eyes and quietly waited for the final moment to come.

But the imagined death did not come. Li Qian could not help but open her eyes.

She saw a slender figure blocking her eyes, directly bearing the attack of two flames. The red flames surrounded Roland's entire body. Fire snakes emerged from her eyes, mouth, and ears, but a colorful mind was still blocking Li Qian.

She opened her mouth and waved her hands constantly, as if she wanted to say something to Li Qian, asking her to leave quickly, but her vocal cords were burned, so she couldn't say a complete sentence at all.

Li Qian's eyes widened, staring at Roland who fell into the sea of ​​fire in front of her. She opened her mouth to say something, but the next second, the flames were retracted and disappeared into the air. And the beauty with long purple hair had already turned into ashes in front of Li Qian.

Li Qian sat on the ground, staring at a black burn mark on the ground. She stretched out her trembling hands and finally couldn't help crying.

"Ah!" The heart-wrenching cry resounded throughout the building.

...

Zhu Rong in the air felt his flames disappear one by one. Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly and he looked into the distance with some surprise. After a moment, he sneered: "Since you have such courage, why not help you."

Then the flames on Zhu Rong's body were retracted and fell towards the palace below.

At the same time, on the other side of Morokko, a blue-haired, hunched-backed, and old-looking old man was standing on the top of a building, looking at Zhu Rong's position with his eyes. The bright light was gradually dimming, returning the night to Morokko again.

When Zhu Rong's light completely disappeared, the old man said, "Zhu Rong is stronger than he was before in Da Xia Long Que."

"Humph, I only need one bullet to kill him." A pink-haired woman stood behind the old man and said unconvincedly. She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with a plump and graceful figure, wearing leather boots and leather clothes, giving people the feeling of a sexy girl.

"Yulia, your ability can restrain Zhu Rong to some extent, so it is certainly not difficult to kill him, but it is not so easy for me, an old man." Hearing the woman's disdainful voice, the old man didn't care, and then said, "But did you feel the spirit of Hades?"

When the woman named Yulia heard the word Hades, her previous disdainful expression was swept away, and she nodded solemnly.

"This guy is very strong."

The old man nodded: "Now it seems that Hades is probably the strongest person in the East Continent. Without knowing his ability, we should not conflict with him without authorization. It is also necessary to adjust the plan for the next meeting."

"Well, I will tell the leader that in the current situation, we should not be enemies with Hades."

That night, 55 people with abilities died under Zhu Rong's attack, but what was more terrifying was that before Zhu Rong, only a corner of Hades was revealed, and his unfathomable mind energy attracted everyone's attention.

Pluto, the most powerful and mysterious Level 5 ability user of the Flame Dragon Vanguard, once again dominated everyone's attention. The Great Xia Dragon Bird, which was once able to compete with the Flame Dragon Vanguard, was no longer of interest to anyone. In everyone's eyes, the Great Xia Dragon Bird was now just a pile of chips of the Great Xia, a lamb to be slaughtered.
