After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

——The monster was awakened by scalding.

The scorching heat came from under the feet, and the carapace made a sizzling sound under the high temperature.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It screamed in terror, its six thin legs kicking and kicking in the air.

"……You are noisy."

The slightly impatient voice of the human teenager sounded very close.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying coercion descended, instantly strangling the demon worm's throat.

It froze in mid-air, staring blankly at the humans in front of it.

The terrible flame was right in front of him, jumping silently, radiating terrible heat to the surroundings.

No, not burned?

Seeing that the monster finally stopped screaming, Shi An extinguished the dragon flame on his fingertips.

His appearance has returned to normal, only a little dark red light flickers faintly in the darkness in the depths of his pupils, like hot coals, revealing some inhuman traits.

——Memories from just now flooded in like a tide.

Eyes, scales, flames.

……dragon.

"—But, but all the dragons are already dead!" The monster screamed hysterically, with a trembling voice: "There are no fantasy species on this continent anymore!"

Shi An tilted his head in doubt: "I'm not dead."

"..."

The monster suddenly didn't know how to answer the call.

Twenty minutes later, Shi An finally understood the current situation of this era.

After a long silence, he spoke slowly in disbelief: "So, there are no elves now?"

"Nothing."

"Where's the mermaid? The lich—"

"That's right, none of them."

Shi'an pupil earthquake.

He really didn't expect that after so many years, only the weakest species survived:

"how so?!"

"No, I don't know." The monster replied cautiously.

——It has begun to believe that the one in front of it may really be a dragon that survived from ancient times:

"None of us lived that long."

It asked in trepidation: "So... you, are you really a dragon?"

Shi An glanced at it with a bad temper.

"!" The monster shuddered, and quickly changed the wording: "No, no, I didn't mean to question your identity, it's just..."

"Why did you become what you are now?"

From the inside to the outside, from the blood bones to the skin, it's all a fake human scent—even for a powerful phantom species, this camouflage is a bit too real.

These words reminded Shi An, he finally remembered the reason why he brought this bug back.

"In the banquet hall earlier, I smelled a...smell." Shi An held down the devil insect that was trying to escape in a panic, pinched it in his hand and looked it up and down carefully, then frowned, puzzled Said: "... But now there is no more."

odor?

The devil worm was taken aback, and stopped struggling: "Yes, is it this?"

The familiar dark atmosphere spread quietly.

"Yes!" Shi An's eyes lit up: "What is this?"

"...Poison, poisonous gas."

The monster replied dumbly.

The bottom of the abyss is filled with highly poisonous air. For the species living in it, the poisonous gas can make them more ferocious and aggressive.

All creatures crawling out of the abyss will habitually transform the air around them to make it suitable when they attack.

But it is deadly to creatures on the mainland.

Logically, dragons are no exception.

The monster was overjoyed.

Maybe... this will be its chance to fight back!

It flapped its wings and worked harder to transform the air around it.

The teenager in front of him loosened his fingers slightly, but tightened them again in the next second.

Shi An stared at the bug in front of him with sparkling eyes, and shook it mercilessly:

"continue."

Devil worm:? ? ?

It was dizzy from being shaken, and suddenly, an ominous premonition struck.

"Then, that..." it said cautiously, "Excuse me... what kind of dragon are you?"

Dragon?Agile, slender, and fiery.

Or a black dragon?Majestic, huge, amazingly powerful...

Shi An grinned: "The Abyss Dragon."

——violent, cruel, uncertain.

The most powerful and fearsome breed of all dragons even in ancient times.

The most important thing is that, born in the abyss and growing up in the abyss, no matter which side of the continent he is on, he is a figure of the overlord level.

Demon worm: "..."

Grass.

Sorry to bother you.

After the anti-killing heart was strangled to death in the cradle, the devil obediently shook out everything he knew.

After sleeping for thousands of years, Shi An felt the changes of this era.

The abyss and the ground are two sides of a continent.

In his time, as long as he was strong enough, he could travel back and forth at will. After the phantom species disappeared, the abyss was firmly sealed, and only a few cracks could be opened occasionally, but the poisonous gas could not come out. , only Abyss species can.

On the ground, after the Phantasmal Species disappeared, humans created a civilization built with magic and technology, and gradually became the masters of the continent. The conflicts between them and other monsters also intensified, until now it was almost irreconcilable.

But these times An didn't care much.

And the things he really cared about didn't make any progress.

This worm neither knew the information of its own body nor the whereabouts of its treasure, and because it was too weak, it could only produce a little bit of poisonous gas.

This concentration is too low, and there is no way for him to find the feeling he had vaguely touched in the banquet hall before. The body still stubbornly maintains the human form, and there is no tendency to recover at all.

"...Okay then." Shi An sighed in disappointment: "It seems that you are useless."

Demon worm: "?"

Before it could react, a cluster of flames rose up in front of its eyes, and the scalding heat rushed to its face in an instant.

The monster screamed: "Wait, wait!!"

Shi An paused, and asked in a very good temper: "Huh? What's the matter?"

—if one ignores the dragon flame on his fingertip.

Demon Worm: "I'm still useful! Still useful!"

It flapped its six slender legs in the air, and said tremblingly, "I, I know that there are stronger monsters out there that can create more poisonous fog in the abyss!"

Shi An became interested: "Where?"

The devil worm carefully hugged Shi'an's finger, and said fawningly:

"I, the gap I crawled out of, I, I can take you there."

It paused, and stammered: "But... it may be a little difficult."

"Difficult?" Shi An frowned.

The monster said: "Its location is very secret, and the guards are also very strict. I managed to sneak out by relying on the weakest larval form, parasitizing three people in a row."

"Do you know the ability school?"

Shi An nodded.

The monster said solemnly: "The crack is in the campus, so if we want to get close, we must pretend to be perfect, and then wait for the opportunity..."

Shi An thought for a while and said, "Or we can just wait until school starts."

"...Huh?" The monster didn't react for a moment.

Shi An pointed to the envelope that was randomly discarded on his bedside table. It was stamped with the seal of the Ability Academy, and there were five big characters written on it—the admission notice: "It seems like there is still a week left?"

Demon worm: "..."

To be able to admit the abyssal dragon into the school, I feel that most of the human beings are going to be finished.

"You guessed right." Zhuo Fu pushed a document over, with a rare dignified expression on his face:

"The abyss has been very unstable recently."

Mu Heng turned two pages and glanced casually.

"Reports of cracks in the abyss have emerged in various places during this period of time. Although they have happened from time to time in the past, the frequency is too high recently." Zhuo Fu took a deep breath and said, "Especially now, it actually appeared in the upper city Abyssal species...then there is only one possibility—"

Mu Heng closed the file:

"A new rift is around the corner."

Zhuo Fu narrowed his eyes: "You already knew."

"It's not hard to guess." Mu Heng pushed the document back: "But it's hard to find."

He raised his eyes, narrowed his silver-blue eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly, "My people have already been dispatched to search the whole city."

Mu Heng tapped the table with his fingertips:

"Remember to get the approval documents done."

Zhuofu: "..."

——You are fucking squeezing labor! !

After Zhuo Fu was sent away, only Mu Heng was left in the office again.

He lowered his eyes and picked up the document that he was reviewing before Zhuo Fu entered the door.

On the first page, the handsome young man pursed his lips shyly and smiled silently at him.

Below are just a few lines of small words, which briefly condenses his uneventful first half of his life.

except-

Inexplicable disappearance, and unexpected admission.

Mu Heng squinted his eyes indiscriminately, all his emotions were hidden under the blue ice floe.

At this moment, the door was knocked.

"Enter."

Wen Yao pushed open the door cautiously: "Sir, the Ability Academy has sent another invitation letter, should the rejection letter be sent as usual?"

"No need." Mu Heng said.

Wen Yao obviously didn't expect this unexpected answer, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Mu Heng put down the materials, casually crossed his slender and pale fingers, and said, "I will go to the opening ceremony this time."

There are still a few days before the school starts, but the housekeeper has already started to help Shi An prepare the things needed for school.

He put everything on the list neatly into the suitcase, and when he picked it up, he installed his full backpack—then he was almost staggered by the heavy weight.

Butler: "...What have you installed?"

Shi An firmly hugged the backpack into his arms, and said solemnly: "——Personal items."

The housekeeper looked at Shi An suspiciously, and finally did not continue to ask, but turned around to make other preparations.

The folds of Shi'an's cuffs moved, and the monster poked its head out quietly.

It looked at the suitcase that was almost packed in front of it, and felt a little ridiculous for a while: "You...you are really going to go directly to the academy like this."

Shi An nodded of course: "Of course."

"I have received the notice." He emphasized.

Demon Worm: "I didn't mean that..."

"It is said that the security measures of this Ability Academy are very strict, so don't worry..."

It realized that it had said something wrong, so it hurriedly slapped Rainbow's butt and said: "Of course! With your ability, you don't have to be afraid of those weak ants, but they are an obstacle to our plan after all, and the most important thing is , although your current body should be fine, but I'm a monster after all, I'm afraid I can't fool the security—"

The devil worm secretly looked up.

The boy squinted lazily, resting his chin on the bag, looking extremely at ease.

The devil suddenly realized: "You already have a solution, right?"

Shi An pondered for a while.

Then he shook his head honestly: "No."

Demon worm: "..."

I fuck-

At this moment, the sound of ringing the doorbell came from downstairs.

—from the first day he got here, no one had ever rang the doorbell.

Shi An got up and walked downstairs.

I saw the butler standing at the door with a cold face, and a young man stood in front of him. His facial features were three points similar to Shi Zechun's. His tone was polite and stiff: "——May I ask what you want?"

Shi Rui stood at the door with an impeccable smile on his face: "I heard that my brother and I are enrolled in the same batch this time? So I want to come and say hello in advance."

Shi An blinked.

Um?Who is this person?

Shi Rui smiled and said, "You probably don't know about the opening ceremony of the Ability Academy, do you?"

"It is said to be the opening ceremony, but it is actually a large-scale practical assessment."

"The assessment lasts for several days, and we will divide into classes according to the results of the assessment, so... some methods of fooling the machine may not be very useful." There was a secret smile on Shi Rui's lips, meaning said what was meant.

The butler's expression became even more gloomy.

Shi Rui: "So in order to cope with the assessment, my father arranged a place for us to conduct a simulation exercise. This time I came to ask my brother to go with me."

His smile was perfect, without a hint of showing off.

All the malice was hidden without any trace, and he appeared to be very close and friendly: "Brothers should take care of each other."

The butler frowned even tighter.

He is very aware of his young master's talent. Although he can barely pass the magic test of the academy, he has never experienced any magic training, let alone practice... Although he really hopes that the young master can emerge and win the master's attention and family again. However, compared to this, he was still more worried about Shi'an's injury.

Just when he was about to tactfully refuse, he heard a young and clear voice from behind:

"Huh? Simulation?"

The butler was taken aback and turned to look.

The boy came forward with a sincere expression: "Then can it simulate the security measures in that entrance test...?"

——preferably one that allows him to test whether he can sneak in with a human face bug.

Shi Rui was stunned for a moment, not sure why the other party said that, and replied subconsciously:

"……perhaps?"

Shi An's eyes brightened: "Okay, let's go."

The author has something to say:

Shi An (serious): Security is not important, the main reason is to get good grades in the exam.

Shi Rui: "..."

I believe in you.
