Chapter 93: Hardened Kongjianliefeng!

In the Eastern Inner Sea, a fishing boat sailed across the surface; on board were several soldiers who were both nervous and excited, along with three Ability Users.

Seeing the soldiers like this, one of the Ability Users smiled, "What is there to be afraid of? We come with good intentions. Even if that flood dragon doesn't want to bother with humans, it won't do anything to you."

"Otherwise, by now, news of the flood dragon eating people would have already spread."

Hearing this, a soldier gave a bitter smile, "We aren't afraid of the possibility of being eaten by the flood dragon; we are just curious about what an ancient flood dragon actually looks like."

"That is a flood dragon, after all! I've never seen one in my entire life!"

"That's right, that's right, the brothers all want to see what this flood dragon actually is!"

Upon hearing these words, the Ability User's expression went noticeably blank for a moment, then they gave a bitter laugh and ignored it.

Not long after, everyone noticed the sky around them gradually darkening, and the wind on the sea surface grew stronger; it looked like something big was coming.

The Ability User in charge of this operation then said in a condensed voice, "Everyone, be ready for battle at any time."

"Remember, do not open fire first; wait until the other party arrives before saying anything."

"Oh?"

"What do you want to say?"

Suddenly, a slightly dull voice came from the side of the fishing boat. The Ability Users and soldiers were startled, and then the team leader looked over.

They saw a massive dragon head occupying their entire field of vision; he discovered that that single eye alone was larger than a big lantern.

"Gulp!"

The team leader couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, then said nervously, "Dragon... Lord Dragon King, we came here because we wanted to know, can you... can you refrain from invading humans in the future?"

"Heh, I am just a flood dragon, not a Dragon King."

Opposite the group, the flood dragon's mouth opened and closed, looking very gentle, "I have never said I wanted to be enemies with humans, though I have heard about the matters on the shore."

"To tell you the truth, I have no intention of going to the shore, and I have no hostility toward humans, so you can rest assured."

"Alright, I still need to patrol my territory, so I won't talk with you anymore."

As the voice fell, the Ability Users and soldiers retreated several steps in extreme terror; some even collapsed onto the ground, their faces full of fear.

They discovered that this ancient flood dragon was actually a thousand zhang long; that terrifying body was exceptionally thick, and even the ripples from its swimming could potentially shatter the fishing boat.

"Go, hurry back!"

The team leader came to his senses and hurriedly ordered a return, "The flood dragon indeed harbors no hostility toward humans; we can rest easy."

"Now, it all depends on the Qiongqi over at Kunlun Mountain!"

Kunlun Mountain, a certain location.

A team composed entirely of Ability Users was moving forward in the mountains.

Not long after, one of the Ability Users frowned and spoke, "I heard that the ancient Qiongqi is very fierce and eats everything. If we come here this time... will we die?"

"Shut your crow's mouth!"

Another person immediately glared back viciously, "The ancient Qiongqi can speak human language; it shouldn't be hard to communicate."

"I think it might need something before it reaches an agreement with us."

Whoosh, whoosh—

Suddenly, a foul wind struck.

Before the Ability Users could react, they felt the sky go dark. The Ability User on the very edge looked up in horror and discovered that above his head were rows of sharp teeth; he was immediately terrified, "Qiong... Qiongqi is here, and it's going to eat us!"

"Crack—"

As the words fell, all the Ability Users were swallowed up.

After finishing them, the Qiongqi couldn't help but smack its lips, "Humans are indeed ants; this bit of meat isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

"If it weren't for the fact that you have a lot of energy in your bodies, I wouldn't even deign to eat you."

Even so, another thought emerged in the Qiongqi's mind.

He had followed this group of Ability Users the whole way, quietly listening to their conversation, and knew there were quite a few humans like this.

Therefore, after sensing the benefits from it, the Qiongqi had already made a decision in his heart, "It seems I need to continue searching for such humans, what were they called... right, humans called Ability Users."

"As long as I eat them all, I will definitely become stronger."

"Living in peace? Heh, only a fool would believe that both sides are equal."

As the words fell, the Qiongqi once again transformed into a black wind and headed toward a place with people down the mountain, moving extremely fast!

"We cannot let this continue!"

Great Xia, Imperial Capital.

It was the same conference room as last time; there was some good news, but everyone's expression was rather grim.

The Supreme Commander looked at everyone present, his expression grave, "Although some powerful Beasts like the ancient flood dragon feel they can live in peace with humans and have agreed to this, more and more ancient creatures are appearing in the world."

"Most of them have never held humans in their eyes; basically, they kill when they want to kill and eat when they want to eat, so we cannot continue to sit and wait for death."

"Otherwise... we humans will be slaughtered clean by such Beasts!"

"But we don't have enough powerful Ability Users, and we don't even have enough Ability Users to deal with these Beasts."

Facing everyone's worries, the Supreme Commander was also troubled, but he still revealed a piece of news, "The Freedom Nation and countries in regions like Xiou have all indicated that they want to drop Ultimate Weapons into those Kongjianliefeng to completely destroy their source."

"What do you all think about this?"

Hearing this, the high-ranking officials attending the meeting were surprised. A moment later, they nodded one after another, and one of them even said with pleasant surprise, "We have drone technology provided by the Qiangsheng Group; we can basically send things in without having to do it ourselves."

"At that time, let the drones guard those Kongjianliefeng, then guide the Ultimate Weapons inside to destroy them in one fell swoop!"

As the words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but one high-ranking official was slightly worried, "If we do this, will it provoke some Beasts and cause them to turn against us?"

"After all... these Beasts have no hostility toward humans and even actively protect humans in some areas."

"They all came from the Kongjianliefeng, after all."

These words caused the atmosphere at the scene to fall into a silence; everyone was at a loss as to how to decide.

After a long while, the Supreme Commander gritted their teeth, their expression incomparably conflicted, but their words were firm, "We must still act according to the plan mentioned just now; we cannot allow this group of Beasts to keep emerging one after another."

"After all... if things continue at this rate, the entire world will become the domain of beasts, and by then, where will there be any room for our human race to stand?"

"Even if there are Beasts willing to shelter us, they still cannot save the majority of people."

"We cannot be soft-hearted because of such a possibility."

With these words from the Supreme Commander, the misgivings in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated, and they soon launched into action! (End of chapter)
