After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

"What? What's going on?"

The person in charge of the third round of actual combat hurried out wearing a nightgown, with a mix of confusion and confusion on his face: "What happened?"

"It's Chief Mu's call."

The person in charge picked up the phone, his expression becoming more and more astonished and dignified.

After hanging up the phone, he snapped: "Quick! Turn off the actual combat zone simulation! Evacuate all the students in the test!"

"No, it can't be done!" The staff panicked, with beads of sweat on their foreheads: "The simulation cannot be turned off from the outside...everything inside seems to be out of control!"

The person in charge turned his head to look at the monitoring platform beside him.

Just 5 minutes ago, there was a frightening peak in the abnormal magic power response in one area in the actual combat simulation.

Immediately afterwards, all the communication devices of all the students were offline.

The GPS collars of all monsters are out of order.

It was as if... In just a few minutes, the area where the actual combat was simulated was engulfed and isolated by some powerful force, becoming an isolated island where no one could enter or leave.

The person in charge was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and his mind was blank.

He turned his head to look at the staff at the side, and there was a hint of trembling and fear in his unsteady voice: "Hurry up...call the Crisis Management Office of the Administration."

This matter has progressed beyond their capabilities, and now there is no other option but the Authority to intervene.

Lin Yanming raised his head in a daze, staring at the sky in front of him.

It is still a pitch-black color, but it seems to be subtly different from before—although the originally simulated night sky is dark, there are still stars flickering faintly, but now it has become purely dark black, as if all the light has been extinguished. The black hole-like sky swallowing in front of him gave people an unpredictable sense of danger.

This is... what happened?

He turned on the backup light source and looked down at his watch.

The watch's counter is still lit, but maps and communications are no longer available.

This means... unable to contact the outside world, unable to know their location.

Lin Yanming felt panicked for the first time.

"Oops, it should be that the magical activity in this place has been too frequent recently, and the cracks in the abyss have expanded in advance."

The demon worm huddled in Shi An's sleeve and said quietly.

Shi An lowered his eyes, his long and black eyelashes drooped demurely, and the covered pupils slowly returned to their human form.

He looked at his palm, his fingers were slender and fair, without any abnormality.

"But the concentrations here are still too low."

Shi An touched his palm, which hadn't changed much, and said with some disappointment:

"It's still not enough."

"Well... After all, this area has only been initially alienated, and the concentration is definitely not as good as that inside the abyss crack."

The monster paused, and continued: "Actually, if we wait here longer, we can wait until the degree of alienation deepens and we are in an abyss-like state, but I'm worried that this gap won't last that long."

After all, the area where the outbreak broke out is too central, and humans will definitely take it very seriously.

So it is estimated that before the alienation is completed, this gap will have been closed by the Administration.

"Or...my lord still follow the original plan and enter the cracks in the abyss?" the devil worm suggested.

Shi An thought for a while: "I like this."

But it seemed that he suddenly thought of something, and his mood suddenly became depressed, and he said, "Then...do we have no time to find the gray crow's lair?"

The corner of the devil's mouth twitched: "... yes."

Shi An became depressed all over.

"But...but..." The monster racked its brains and said, "You can find the gray crow's lair at any time, right? The most important thing now is to restore your strength, my lord. By then, what treasures will not be in your hands?" right?"

Following the description of the monster, a silver-haired figure flashed in Shi An's mind.

He finally pulled himself together: "You're right."

——When you return to your original body, what treasure can't be snatched!

Shi An turned his head to look at Lin Yanming not far away.

Lin Yanming was fiddling with his watch anxiously with his head down.

But no matter how hard he tried, the positioning mode and communication equipment could not be invoked... It was over.

Generally speaking, emergency exits will be set in the very center of each area.

But... they are now at the junction of the forest area, the rain forest area, and the scorched earth area, and they are far away from either side.

Now it's so dark that it's impossible to recognize the direction. If you search blindly, you will only have a dead end.

Shi An turned to look at Lin Yanming: "Do you still want to go to the east area?"

Lin Yanming's eyes lit up: "Do you know the way?"

Shi An gave a "hmm", nodded, and said solemnly: "I have a strong sense of direction!"

Using the spare light source, Lin Yanming raised his eyes to look at Shi An who was standing not far from him.

The young man's brows and eyes were soft and peaceful, and his dark eyes looked back silently from the shadows. It seemed that nothing could make him lose his current calm posture, which inexplicably gave off a strange sense of reliability.

I don't know why, although everyone has said that Shi'an is a once-in-a-lifetime waste, but after getting along for such a long time, Lin Yanming always feels that there is an indescribable mystery in the other party, even a subtle difference from ordinary people. A strange feeling - this makes him always involuntarily want to believe what the other party says.

And most importantly...

Apart from following Shi An, the only option left is to stay where they are and wait for rescue—and who knows what's going on outside, and whether they can locate each of them. .

After thinking about it, Lin Yanming took a deep breath slowly, and seemed to have finally made up his mind, saying:

"……Ok, I trust you!"

——Maybe, Shi An really knows the way to the forest area!

Shi An happily smiled at Lin Yanming.

——Of course he knows how to get to the gray-black area to the east, after all, there are magic insects in his sleeves secretly guiding him.

In the silent darkness, Lin Yanming walked forward with difficulty.

Contrary to when he came, this time Shi An walked in the front.

The young man's back was straight and slender, and he was always within Lin Yanming's line of sight, not far or near. The darkness that stretched out his fingers didn't seem to have any effect on him, and his steps were always smooth and steady without hesitation.

However, it was too quiet around here.

All I could hear was the beating of my own heart and the rustling of the grass beneath my feet.

Lin Yanming swallowed his saliva, carefully broke the silence, and said:

"that……"

In fact, he didn't want to say anything, but he really couldn't bear the unbearable silence.

However, at the moment when he spoke, Lin Yanming heard a strange echo sounding from the back of his neck, repeating what he just said in a strange and hoarse voice: "That..."

Lin Yanming's hairs immediately stood on end.

He suddenly lowered his body, and the arrow condensed by the magic power immediately struck in the direction of the sound!

The arrow fell into the void, swallowed by darkness.

A spare light source on the watch illuminated a small area behind, and the pale light seemed so small and faint in the overwhelming shadows around it.

It was a monster with a height of three meters. Its body was as thin and long as noodles, with a huge and heavy head hanging from its neck. The head was hanging down, exactly at the height of the back of Lin Yanming's head.

It turned its head, and the seven irregularly arranged eyes on its pitch-black face were fixedly staring at the two humans in front of it.

With the same weird and hoarse voice, he repeated mechanically:

"that……"

Lin Yanming felt his hair suddenly rise, and a strange chill rose from the depths of his spinal cord.

He has grown so big, and has never seen such a monster.

And what's even more frightening is...

Lin Yanming's eyes fell on the monster's neck, and he swallowed hard.

—It was empty there.

No school collar, nothing.

Lin Yanming wasn't sure whether it had broken free from its shackles, or...

Isn't it a monster caught by the school?

No matter which option he chooses, he can't help but feel horrified.

The monster swayed its slender body, and approached quickly in a strange posture. The seven eyes on its face blinked at different frequencies, and the huge mouth was split open on its face, and the circles of sharp teeth inside were shining coldly.

"Run!"

Lin Yanming yelled in horror, turned around and dragged Shi An to escape.

"Run..." "Run..."

The monsters behind them mechanically repeated Lin Yanming's words over and over again, while chasing them.

Lin Yanming was sweating profusely, and he could only hear his own rapid panting and the lingering murmur behind him.

The darkness swallowed his sense of direction, making him feel like he was running through an endless swamp.

Sudden.

Footsteps came from all directions, and the exact same mechanical whispers overlapped each other, resounding in my ears:

"Run..." "Run..." "Run..."

Lin Yanming stopped abruptly.

His pupils were constricted, his face was pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

Using the spare light source, he saw dozens of slender monsters surrounding them from all directions, and each heavy head was staring at them closely, repeating two words: "Hurry up!" run".

But... there is no escape.

"Try, try light magic attack, it should, should be effective against this kind of thing."

Lin Yanming said to Shi An incoherently.

He released it towards the one closest to him, but it was effective, but he only forced it back for a few seconds. After the magic power faded, the monster started to approach again.

It's over, it's over, it's over—

Only the last two words remained in Lin Yanming's mind.

"Then, can the fire element be used?"

At this time, he heard the boy's soft, even curious voice coming from beside him.

"..."

what?

Lin Yanming didn't react.

"Something like this."

The moment the voice fell, the scorching flame rolled up like a wave, instantly igniting the darkness, wrapped in astonishingly high temperature, and rushed towards the monster in front of him aggressively!

The berserk flames roared as if possessing sanity, devouring the slender figures one after another.

But in just a few seconds, the leaping fire circled around the two of them, locking them firmly in the middle.

The raging fire that soared into the sky dispelled the haze and illuminated the vast plain like daytime.

In the raging fire, the monster let out a shrill scream, and its slender figure frantically shook and struggled in the scorching, but it couldn't escape from it no matter what.

"..."

——How destructive, overwhelming, aggressive and powerful that is.

Lin Yanming stood there in a daze.

His face was flushed by the flames. Although he was far away, he could still feel the temperature of the flames not far away on his skin. It was so hot that he could hardly think.

I don't know how long.

Maybe just seconds, maybe centuries.

The fire and heat went out together.

It seemed that everything was just a cruel and grand illusion in his mind.

In the pitch black, only the faint brightness of the backup light source remained.

The light dimly illuminates the open space not far away, and the piles of ashes on the ground.

Wait, isn't it a hallucination?

Lin Yanming felt his head became a paste.

It's been a long time.

He turned his head with difficulty, he could almost hear the clucking sound from his neck, in disbelief, he looked stiffly at Shi An beside him.

The boy seemed to have noticed his gaze, and turned his head to look back.

The lines of the facial features appear softer in the dark, and the contours of the eyes are round. When looking at people intently, they give people a mood as if they are acting like a baby.

Shi An shyly pursed her lips and smiled:

"I really don't know the light element, I only know this."

Lin Yanming: "........."

"People from the Administration are here!"

"What? Please come in!" The person in charge was startled, and quickly walked out to welcome him.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, his long hair was neatly tied behind his head, and his pale skin was tightly covered by his overcoat and gloves, making him look regular and abstinent.

Wen Yao stood not far away. She changed into a battle attire, her skin was light brown, and her eyebrows were sharp. She was communicating information with the staff and asked something in a low voice.

This time, those who followed were all the elites specially trained by the combat department of the Administration to deal with this special situation.

The person in charge stretched out his hand anxiously: "Mr. Mu..."

Mu Heng glanced down at the other party's outstretched hand, but did not move.

Only then did the person in charge suddenly remember the other party's habit of not wanting to have physical contact with others, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "I'm sorry...I'm really too anxious."

"What are you going to do next?" he asked.

Mu Heng's voice was cold and deep, as if he was not affected by the other party's panic at all: "Have you set up emergency entrances and exits in the actual battlefield?"

"Of course! Right in the middle of every area!"

Mu Heng nodded slightly, and continued to ask: "Is there any teacher or staff who is familiar with the actual battlefield terrain?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Mu Heng: "Arrange one in each area, let them go in with my team, and rescue the trapped students."

Person in charge: "Then...how are you going to deal with that abyss crack in the scorched earth area?"

"Close it from the inside." Mu Heng said calmly:

"I'll go myself."

Person in charge: "Then I will be with you..."

Mu Heng interrupted him: "No need."

The person in charge was stunned: "Why...?"

Mu Heng said concisely: "It's too dangerous."

The abyss will continuously release poisonous gas, so he must use magic power to protect himself at all times. Even if he goes deep into the cracks, he will lose his home battle advantage and be weakened to a certain extent, let alone other self-protection abilities. weak people.

"What's more, after the alienation begins, the closer the area to the crack in the abyss is, the deeper the transformation is, even if there is a guide, it won't help."

Although the person in charge was still unwilling, he could only sigh and obeyed the other party's arrangement: "You are right."

Mu Heng nodded, turned around and walked forward.

The person in charge hastily stepped forward and chased after him: "Hey...then don't you need anything else?"

Mu Heng's silver-blue eyes were calm and indifferent, without the slightest hint of arrogance, as if he was simply stating a fact:

"unnecessary."

"I'm enough alone."
