After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

three hours ago.

Somewhere in the rainforest.

There was a soft rustle in the jungle, and Duan Hua came out from the darkness.

Shi Rui raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

Seeing that it was Duan Hua, he had a seamless expression of surprise on his face: "You came back so soon? The problem is solved?"

"Brother, did he accept your apology?"

Duan Hua had a weird expression and his eyes wandered: "Yes."

He subconsciously reached out to touch his wrist which was covered by his sleeve, but after a pause, he stopped forcefully.

That piece of skin seems to still have the touch of the opponent's fingers—very cold, much lower than the body temperature of ordinary people, like some kind of cold and soft cold-blooded animal, entangled silently, although it is only It passed by in a flash, but the memory of being touched seemed to be branded into the flesh and blood, and could not be removed for a long time.

A strange itching spread from that small patch of skin, making him unable to restrain his desire to scratch.

The expression on Shi Rui's face is still perfect:

"It's hard work, take a rest."

Then, without warning—

Mutations occur.

Darkness engulfed the sky, and GPS and communication systems were paralyzed at the same time.

From the depths of the dark jungle came the frantic howls and footsteps of monsters, as if they were fleeing aimlessly.

Duan Hua raised his head in panic and stared at the dark and dull sky above his head: "Hey, what's going on here?"

As a person with ghosts in his heart, even if there is no evidence, he still subconsciously connects the current abnormality with his actions just now, and the blood on his face fades.

Difficult, could it be...

Shi Rui was also flustered, and almost couldn't control the expression on his face.

He lowered his head to check the watch on his hand, and quickly recovered from the brief panic.

The current situation is more like a breakdown of the system than the academy has discovered their small tricks.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that the breakdown of communication also meant that the monitoring had failed—this time, even if something happened to Shi An during the exam, no one would connect it with himself.

It's like God is on my side!

Shi Rui calmed down.

He said: "This should be a problem with the school's system. Don't panic, it's just a communication and monitoring disconnection. It should recover after a while."

At this time, one of the freshmen said:

"This doesn't seem to be a general system failure. Haven't you noticed that the color of the sky has become a little scary... In addition, the school's system is built with pure magic power, so the chance of problems is very small... Moreover, the reaction of the monsters seems to be quite different. Something's not quite right."

"Then, what should we do?" the others asked in a panic.

"Either wait for rescue in place, or go to the emergency exit in the middle of the rainforest area, these are the only two options."

Duan Hua almost couldn't wait to say:

"I think we should take the initiative to find emergency exits! After all, who knows how long it will take for rescue to arrive, it is too unsafe to stay here, not to mention, we came from the central area of ​​the rainforest, and we have left traces along the way. It shouldn't be hard to find your way back."

This place is too close to Shi An.

Once something happened to the other party, as the last person who saw Shi An, Duan Hua could easily be suspected.

more importantly……

He knew exactly what would happen to Shi An, so he didn't want to be around when the other party "had an accident".

Shi Rui spoke appropriately and echoed: "I think Duan Hua is right, this is the best way now."

Since Shi Rui said so, the others naturally have no objections.

So, the group set off again and walked back along the way they came.

Duan Hua walked at the end of the line without saying a word.

His face was pale, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his left hand unconsciously pressed his right wrist, appearing particularly restless.

I don't know when it started, the faint itching gradually became unbearable.

It seemed that there were countless tiny bugs wriggling under his skin, nibbling at his flesh and blood bit by bit, and a hot burning sensation spread from that piece of skin.

Duan Hua raised his sleeves and looked towards his wrist.

Under the blurred light, one can vaguely see that piece of skin is smooth and flat, and it has not changed in the slightest from memory.

Is... is it an illusion?

Duan Hua thought in surprise.

In the dark jungle, the passage of time becomes difficult to measure.

The team moved forward cautiously, groping little by little, looking for the path they came from.

During the period, they also encountered a few sporadic monsters head-on.

Everyone was surprised to find that after the mutation, the monsters seemed to become more sensitive and restless, and more hostile. The low-level monsters that were usually easy to kill at this time required the cooperation of several people to subdue them.

"Boom!"

Another monster fell heavily.

After the battle was over, several team members who participated in the battle turned their heads one after another, and looked at Duan Hua who was not far away in a dazed and puzzled manner.

——He made too many mistakes today.

However, because Duan Hua usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, everyone dared not say anything for a while.

Only Shi Rui took a step forward and broke the deadlock:

"Duan Hua, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Duan Hua smiled very reluctantly, the sword that was habitually held in the right hand was changed to the left hand at some point.

He explained stiffly: "Today, today's condition is not very good..."

In fact, in the sleeves hanging by his side, from his arms to his palms, he had already begun to tremble violently uncontrollably.

As the number of times Duan Hua released his magic power increased, the burning sensation became stronger.

It lurked deeply under his skin, burning from the root of the bone, bit by bit chewing on his muscles, as if trying to set him ablaze starting from the wrist.

He panicked like an ant on a hot pan.

But Duan Hua didn't want to show his timidity, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Is it Shi An?

No, it's impossible... How could he find out in such a short time?And what if you find out?

That trash, even the exam needs to be cheated!How is it possible to do such a thing? !

While he was thinking wildly, a strange sound came from the darkness in the distance.

Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice.

It seemed to be some kind of roar.

At first it was just a faint vibration.

However, it only took a few tens of seconds before it turned into some kind of deafening and violent sound.

It seems to come from the center of the earth, and it seems to be the sound of thousands of troops marching.

The ground seemed to be trembling, the surrounding trees trembled under the strong pressure, and the leaves made a rustling sound. The terrifying sound approached from all directions, as if it could swallow them up.

Under the terrible sound pressure, everyone stood still, almost forgetting to move their bodies.

I don’t know who yelled——

"Climb the tree!"

They just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly climbed up the tree.

Holding the tree trunk, the freshmen looked down one after another.

In such a dim environment, they could hardly see anything, they could only see countless flickering dots of light.

Blue, yellow, a little red.

The collar that symbolized the difficulty of the monster shimmered in the dark, illuminating the figure of the monster like a tide, and the dust and smoke billowed like dark sea waves roaring towards the distance.

For monsters, the blocking effect of trees is minimal.

But unexpectedly, they didn't stop at all, as if they didn't notice those people lying on the trees at all, but ran towards a certain goal in an extremely unified manner.

The students turned their heads dully, looking in the direction of the tide of monsters.

there seems to be...

East.

In the scorched earth area.

The sky and the earth trembled, everything died, and the endless darkness surged, like poured ink, coming menacingly.

In the open space at the front, two humans stood.

Compared with the huge number of monsters in front of them, their figures looked so small and fragile, as if they would be swallowed up in the next second.

The front-end monster is already close at hand.

This is really over.

Lin Yanming closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the fate of death.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

……

1 minutes.

Nothing happened.

——Wait, what's going on?

Lin Yanming opened his eyes in shock.

With the weak light of the backup power supply, he regretted his decision to open his eyes so much, and it took almost all his courage not to fall over again.

So close, so close.

Those ferocious eyes with the desire to kill looked over from a few meters away, and the distance between them was so close that he could smell the stench sprayed from the bloody mouth.

Lin Yanming swore that he had never seen the situation before him even in his worst nightmare.

But...don't know why.

It has been such a long time, and the group of menacing and murderous monsters still haven't launched any attacks.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier between them, blocking each other's movements.

The monster hit the ground with its front feet agitatedly and violently, but as if it was worried about something, it could only roar unwillingly and angrily.

Lin Yanming stared blankly at the monster not far away.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see in the eyes of those monsters...

fear?

Suddenly, Lin Yanming felt a sudden pain in his wrist.

He yelled "Ouch" and looked down subconsciously.

I saw a black beetle the size of a fingernail crawling onto his hand at some point. It had a weird human face on it, and its fangs were deeply embedded in the skin of his hand. It was trying to gnaw on him at the moment. She gave him a twisted, ugly smile.

"..."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes and passed out.

Demon worm: "??"

Wait, did my venom kick in that fast?

Shi An: "Nice job."

He raised his thumb: "Successfully scared him out!"

Demon worm: "..."

It didn't want to accept the fact that it made the opponent dizzy, so it shouted angrily: "It's poisoned! It's poisoned!"

Shi'an is as good as he is: "Okay, the poisonous one."

Demon Worm: "...can you be more perfunctory?"

Shi An interrupted it mercilessly: "Okay, okay, don't waste time, move him to the emergency exit, it shouldn't be far away anyway."

The monster sighed and shook its wings. Countless smaller black beetles came out from under its wings, and began to grow the moment it landed, until it was the size of a fist.

As if they were conscious, they all crawled under Lin Yanming's body, lifted the unconscious human being, and carried him far away without any complaints.

Watching Lin Yanming being transported to the exit, Shi An looked away.

He looked at the monster in front of him curiously, then slowly and tentatively took a step forward.

There was a commotion in the crowd of monsters, and wild roars came and went one after another.

However, the clear line between the monster and Shi'an was inwardly recessed very sharply in an instant.

When Shi An took a step to the left, the monsters took a step back to the right.

He took a step back, and the opponent chased another step forward.

It was like a funny ballroom dance.

Shi An blinked and raised his foot again.

——I don’t know why, but the reactions of these monsters seem familiar.

Oh yes, it seems to be exactly the same as the few monsters he encountered in the mock test...?

The devil insect took a deep breath: "Have you played enough?!"

"Not yet." Shi An's eyes sparkled.

The corner of the devil's mouth twitched: "My lord, do I need to remind you that the duration of the abyss is limited."

Shi An: "..."

He looked at the group of monsters in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the abyss not far from him.

After hesitating for a long time, he sighed sadly, and reluctantly gave up the desire to continue playing:

"Ok."

But before the magic worm could heave a sigh of relief, he just listened to the other party's bargaining:

"But at least there should be time for me to burn a few for fun!"

"..." Demonic Worm: "...you burn it."

"Yeah!" Shi An narrowed his eyes and smiled.

A cluster of crimson flames sprang up from his fingertips, and he let go of his hand leisurely, like a will-o'-the-wisp that could be blown out in one breath, but the enormous energy contained within was terrifyingly suffocating.

The monsters retreated away from the flames like dominoes, but there were too many of them, and it was almost impossible to escape after being crowded into a pile.

The moment he was hit by the flames, the ending was already doomed.

The blazing flames seemed to have their own consciousness, and they chewed and devoured the unfortunate prey, using their flesh and blood as fuel to grow wantonly in the darkness.

Shi An lightly hooked his fingertips.

The flames exploded, ruthlessly turning the prey into pitch-black coke amidst the miserable howls of the prey.

The raging fire was reflected in the young man's dark and deep pupils, and was elongated into a golden-red line, which had a kind of cruel and innocent beauty.

"It seems that the monsters alienated by the abyss are not completely useless."

Shi An licked his lips contentedly, and concluded.

The devil worm shivered for no reason.

Sorry you are really scary.

Shi An caught the monster wearing a red and blue collar and burned it.

You know, his dragon flame is very precious and consumes a lot of mana, so it's not worth wasting on weak monsters.

So after playing for a while, there are not many monsters with outstanding strength left.

Shi Anxing withdrew his gaze, and sighed: "This Ability Academy has very poor eyesight, and few of the monsters caught are burnt."

The monster crashed.

Brother!How many monsters in this world can withstand your burning? !

Shi An finally had enough.

He reached out to pick up the magic worm from the ground, and said excitedly, "Go! Go to the abyss!"

There should be a lot of fire-resistant ones there!

The monster clung to Shi'an's fingers with its six legs, and looked back from between the opponent's fingers.

Those remaining monsters still followed behind Shi An not too far away.

Each of them looked particularly struggling.

The human body in front exudes a frenzied smell that whets their appetites, and the fresh and warm blood food whets their appetites. However, they can also feel the undisguised dangerous aura on the other person—instinctively in both directions. An extreme frantic scream, talking about running and chasing at the same time.

Seeing the group of monsters following up again, the monsters hesitated to speak:

"Then... what about the rest?"

Shi An didn't care: "Follow, they can still eat me?"

Demon worm: "..."

You are so fucking right.

Soon, Shi An came to the edge of the abyss.

On the endless scorched black plain in front of him, there was an extremely deep and extremely black gap without warning. The edge was steep, like a scar split on the ground by a huge sword, and the darkness below was lightless and soundless. Gray mist slowly escaped from it, releasing deadly toxins outward.

Shi An looked down and asked curiously: "After I jump off, will I be able to return to the abyss?"

Demon Insect: "Abyss Rift doesn't work like this."

It pointed to the edge of the abyss: "Do you see there? Isn't the boundary a little fuzzy?"

Shi An blinked: "Yes."

It's like two sheets of paper overlapping each other, with two different edges.

"Actually, this is the process of the crack in the abyss expanding. Its spatial meaning is slowly overlapping with the ground. Before this process is completed, the space in the crack does not belong to the abyss nor to the ground. It is more like... an intermediate space." Zone." The devil worm thought about it, and explained it in the simplest and most understandable way.

"However, after the complete overlap, it will no longer be a crack, but will become a passage between the abyss and the ground."

"So that's the case." Shi An was a little surprised.

He thought for a while, and was a little frustrated: "Then I can't go back to the abyss for the time being?"

In the era of Shi An, the abyss and the ground were a complete whole. As long as they were strong enough, they could travel between the two areas at will. But now, not only the abyss and the ground are divided into two areas that must be connected by a passage, And I also lost the power I once had——

As an abyss dragon, he can't even go back to the abyss!

hateful!

The monster put a thin leg on Shi'an's shoulder: "My lord, don't worry, when you recover your strength, you will be able to directly tear open a gap in the abyss, and then kill all the humans who want to stop it, and wait for it to spread into a channel After that, you can go back to the abyss!"

Shi An: "You're right!"

——The most important thing now is to restore strength!

Although he hadn't fully entered the gap yet, but after only standing on the edge for a short while, Shi An could already feel the familiar strength begin to fill slowly.

Shi An is full of confidence.

If he continues at this speed, he should be able to return to the abyss to find treasure soon!

Thinking of the mountains of glitters piled up in his cave, he felt very anxious, and wished he could immediately return to his original body and return to the abyss—after so many years, you must be here!

While Shi An was in a trance, the monster suddenly noticed something was wrong.

There seems to be some unusual marks on the edge of the cliff not far away.

After carefully distinguishing it, it froze for a moment, and immediately understood what it had found—it was clearly a trace of magic power left by human beings!

And the opponent's magic power is so powerful that it can even tear apart the overlapping corner of the abyss and the ground.

Among humans, the only one who can achieve this level is probably...

Oops!Mu Heng has arrived!And it is estimated that it has entered the crack!

The monster was startled.

It suddenly remembered that it hadn't had time to tell Shi'an Muheng the true identity of the dragon slayer!

The devil insect opened its mouth, and was about to speak out to remind.

But in the next second, a sense of weightlessness struck without warning.

The wind was howling and the sky was spinning.

——It took the monster two seconds to realize what Shi'an had done.

... This ancestor actually jumped right out of it! !

The moment the words broke through the throat, they turned into screams, echoing in the empty valley: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

Deep in the crack.

Mu Heng flicked the black blood drop on the silver sword lightly, and behind him, another corpse of an abyss species crashed down.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, frowned slightly, and looked up.

...is anyone screaming?

The author has something to say:

Demon worm: "Haha, damn it."
