After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Chapter 16: After I jump down, can I return to the abyss?

Views:

Three hours ago.

Somewhere in the rain forest area.

The jungle rustled softly, and Duan Hua emerged from the darkness.

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

Seeing it was Duan Hua, his face showed a seamless expression of surprise: "Are you coming back so soon? The problem has been solved?"

"Brother did he accept your apology?"

Duan Hua had a strange expression and his eyes were erratic: "Yes."

He subconsciously reached out and touched his wrist covered by his sleeves, but he stopped forcibly after a pause.

There seems to be the touch of the other person’s fingers on that piece of skin—very cold, much lower than the body temperature of ordinary people, like some kind of cold and soft cold-blooded animal, entwining silently, even though it's just one. It passed by, but the memory of being touched seemed to be branded into the texture, bone and blood, and could not be removed for a long time.

A strange itch spread from that little piece of skin, making him unable to control his desire to scratch.

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

"Thank you, take a break."

Immediately afterwards, without warning—

The mutation occurs.

The darkness swallowed the sky, and the GPS and communication systems were paralyzed at the same time.

From the depths of the dark jungle came the manic howling and footsteps of the monster, seeming to be running aimlessly.

Duan Hua panicked and looked up at the black and dull sky above his head: "This, what's going on?"

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

Difficult, is it...

Shi Rui was also flustered and almost didn't stretch the expression on his face.

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

The current situation is more like the collapse of the system, rather than the academy's discovery of their small actions.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that the communication failure also meant that the monitoring failed. In this case, even if Shi'an had an accident during the exam, no one would associate it with himself.

It is simply that God is on his side!

Shi Rui calmed down.

He said: "This should be a problem with the school's system. Don't panic. At most, communication and monitoring are disconnected. It should be restored after a while."

At this time, one of the freshmen said:

"This doesn’t seem to be a normal system failure. Didn’t you find out that the color of the sky becomes a bit scary... In addition, the school’s system is built by pure magic, so the chance of a problem is very small... Moreover, the monster’s response seems to be a little different. That's right."

"Then, what should I do?" the others asked flusteredly.

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

Duan Hua almost couldn't wait to say:

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

It's too close to Shi'an here.

Once something happened to the other party, Duan Hua was easily suspected as the last person to see Shi'an.

more importantly…

He knew very well what would happen next to Shi'an, so he didn't want to stay nearby when the other party had an "accident".

Shi Rui just rightly agreed: "I think Duan Hua is right. This is the best method now."

Since Shi Rui said that, other people naturally didn't have any opinions.

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

Duan Hua walked at the end of the team 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, making him extremely restless.

I don't know when it started, that faint itch became gradually unbearable.

There seemed to be countless tiny bugs squirming under his skin, bit by bit gnawing his flesh and blood, and a hot burning sensation spread from that piece of skin.

Duan Hua raised his sleeves and looked at his wrist.

In the dim light, you can vaguely see that skin is smooth and flat, and there is no change in memory.

Is... Is it an illusion

Duan Hua thought in surprise.

In the dark jungle, the passage of time has become incalculable.

The team moved forward cautiously, groping little by little, looking for the path when it came.

In the meantime, they also encountered a few sporadic monsters head-on.

Everyone was surprised to find that after the mutation happened, the monsters seemed to become more sensitive and agitated, and the hostility became stronger. The low-level monsters that were easy to kill in the past require the cooperation of several people to force them.

"Boom!"

Another monster fell heavily.

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

—He made too many mistakes today.

However, because Duan Hua is usually arrogant and domineering, everyone dare not say anything for a while.

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

"Duan Hua, what's the matter with you? Is something uncomfortable?"

Duan Hua smiled reluctantly. He didn't know when the sword in his right hand was changed to his left hand.

He stiffly explained: "Today, today is not so good..."

In fact, in his sleeves hanging down to his side, his arms and palms had already begun to tremble uncontrollably.

As the number of times Duan Hua releases magic power increases, the burning sensation becomes stronger.

It was buried deep under his skin, burning from the roots of the bones, biting and chewing his muscles bit by bit, as if to ignite him from the wrist.

He was flustered 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 will happen even if you find it

That rubbish, even exams need to be cheated! How is it possible to do such a thing? !

Just as he was thinking about it, strange noises were heard in the darkness in the distance.

Everyone was taken aback, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

It seemed to be some kind of roar.

At first it was just a faint vibration.

However, it took almost tens of seconds to turn into a deafening violent sound.

It seems to be from the heart of the earth, and it seems to be the sound of a thousand troops marching.

The earth seemed to tremble, the surrounding trees trembled under the strong pressure, the leaves made a rustling sound, and the terrible sound approached from all directions, as if it could engulf them.

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

I don’t know who yelled—

"Climb up the tree!"

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

Holding the trunk, the new students looked down.

In such a dim environment, they could hardly see anything, but could only see countless gleaming light spots.

Blue, yellow, a little red.

The collar, which symbolizes the difficulty of the monster, gleams in the dark, illuminating the body of the monster like a tide, and the dust is billowing, like a dark sea 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 the people lying on the trees at all, but ran toward a certain goal in a very uniform manner.

The students turned their heads blankly and looked in the direction of the surge of monsters.

There seems to be...

East.

Scorched earth area.

The world quaked, everything died, and the endless darkness surged, like ink poured down, surging violently.

Two humans stood in the open space at the forefront.

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

The foremost monster is already close at hand.

This time is really over.

Lin Yanming closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the mortal fate to come.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

One minute.

Nothing happened.

—Wait, what's the matter

Lin Yanming opened his eyes in astonishment.

With the weak light of the standby power supply, he regretted his decision to open his eyes, and he had almost exhausted his life's courage to not pass it again.

It's too close, it's too close.

Those murderous eyes looked at them from a few meters away, and they were so close to each other that he could smell the stench sprayed from the big mouth of the blood basin.

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

But... I don't know why.

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

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

The monster smashed the ground with its front feet agitatedly and violently, but as if he was worried about something, it could only growl unwillingly and angry.

Lin Yanming stared at the monster not far away blankly.

I don’t know if it’s a delusion, he seems to see in the eyes of those monsters...

fear

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

He called out "Ouch," and looked down subconsciously.

I saw a black beetle the size of a fingernail crawling on his hand at some point. It was against a weird human face, with its fangs sinking deeply into the skin of his hand, and it was trying to gnaw at him at this moment. A twisted and ugly smile was shown to him.

"..."

Lin Yan clearly rolled his eyes and fainted.

Devil: "???"

Wait, does my venom attack so quickly

Shi An: "Good job."

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

Devil: "..."

It was unwilling to accept the fact that it had made the other party ugly and fainted, and shouted angrily: "It's stunned! It's stunned!"

Shi'an followed the good and the good: "Okay, faint."

Devil: "... Can you just be more perfunctory?"

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

The demon sighed and shook its wings. Numerous smaller black beetles emerged from under its wings and began to grow as soon as they landed. They didn't stop until they reached the size of a fist.

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

Seeing Lin Yanming being transported to the exit, Shi An withdrew his sight.

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

There was a wave of restlessness in the monster group, and frantic roars one after another.

However, the line that distinguished between the monster and Shi'an was dented inwardly in an instant.

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

He moved a step back, and the other side chased a step forward.

It's like a funny ballroom dance.

Shi An blinked and raised his foot again.

—I don’t know why, but I always feel that the reactions of these monsters are familiar.

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

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

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

The corners of the devil's mouth twitched: "My lord, do you need me to remind you, the abyss lasts for a limited time."

Shi An: "..."

He looked at the group of monsters in front of him, and then turned 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 Devil Chong breathed 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!"

"..." Devil: "... You burn."

"Yeah!" Shi An squinted and smiled.

A cluster of scarlet flames rose from his fingertips, and he let off his hands leisurely, like a ghost fire that could be blown out in one breath, but the huge energy contained in it was terribly suffocating.

The monsters retreated away from the flames like dominoes, but there were so many of them that they could hardly escape after being crowded into a pile.

At the moment of being hit by the flames, the ending is doomed.

The blazing flames seemed to have their own consciousness wrapped up, chewing and devouring the unfortunately selected prey, using their flesh and blood as fuel, and growing wantonly in the dark.

Shi An moved his fingertips lightly.

The flames burst into bursts, ruthlessly turning it into pitch-black coke in the miserable roar of the prey.

The raging fire was reflected in the youth's dark and deep pupils, which were stretched into a golden red pattern, with a cruel and innocent beauty.

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

Shi Anyi licked her lips still, concluded.

The demon shook 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 flames are very precious and consume mana. It is not worth wasting on monsters that are too weak.

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

Shi An withdrew his gaze in a dispirited manner, and sighed: "This academy for those with abilities has a bad vision, and there are not a few monsters that can withstand burns."

The worm collapsed.

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

Shi An finally had enough.

He stretched out his hand to fish the demon insect from the ground, and said excitedly: "Go! Go to the abyss!"

There should be a lot of heat-resistant ones!

The demon worm gripped Shi'an's fingers tightly with its six legs, and looked back from the gap between the opponent's fingers.

The remaining monsters still followed Shi'an not far or near.

Each of them seemed to be particularly struggling.

The human body in front exudes a fanatical scent that makes their appetite aroused. The fresh and warm blood food arouses their appetite, but they can also feel the unabashed dangerous aura of each other—instinct is in two Extremely crazy screaming, while saying to run, while saying to chase.

Seeing the group of monsters following up again, the monster's face hesitated to speak again:

"Then... what about the rest?"

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

Devil: "..."

What you said is so damn reasonable.

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

On the endless scorched plain in front of him, a very deep and very black gap was cracked without warning. The edge was steep, like a scar split on the ground with a huge sword, and underneath was a light and silent darkness. The gray mist slowly escaped from it, releasing deadly toxins.

Shi An looked down and asked curiously: "Can I return to the abyss after I jump?"

Devil: "Abyss Fissure does not work like this."

It pointed to the edge of the abyss: "Did you see there? Is the boundary a bit blurry?"

Shi An blinked, "Yes."

It's like two overlapping papers, with two different edges.

"In fact, this is the process of the expansion of the abyss crack. Its spatial significance is slowly overlapping with the ground. Before this process is completed, the space within this crack does not belong to the abyss nor the ground, but is more like... an intermediate zone. "The Demon Worm thought for a while and explained it in the simplest and most understandable way.

"However, when it is completely overlapped, it will no longer be a crack, it will become a passage between the abyss and the ground."

"It turned out to be so." Shi'an was a little surprised.

He thought for a while, a little frustrated: "Then am I unable to return to the abyss for the time being?"

In the age of time, the abyss and the ground are a complete whole. As long as they are strong enough, they can shuttle 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 channel to enter. And I also lost the power I used to—

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

hateful!

The demon worm put a thin leg on Shi'an's shoulder: "My lord, rest assured, when you regain your strength, you can definitely pull open a gap in the abyss, and then kill all the humans who want to come to stop it, and wait for it to spread into a channel. After that, you can go back to the abyss!"

Shi An: "You are right!"

—The most important thing now is to restore strength!

Although he hasn't completely entered the gap yet, he just stood on the edge for a while, and Shi'an could already feel the familiar power slowly filling up.

Shi'an is confident.

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

Thinking of the mountains of sparkle in his cave, he felt very anxious, and he wished to immediately restore his original body and return to the abyss-so many years have passed, you must be there!

When Shi'an was in a trance, the demon insect suddenly noticed something was wrong.

There seemed to be some unusual traces on the edge of the cliff not far away.

After carefully distinguishing it, it was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what it had discovered—it was clearly a trace of magic power left by humans!

Moreover, the opponent's magic power is very powerful, and can even tear apart the corner of the abyss and the ground.

Among the human beings who can achieve this level, I am afraid that only...

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

The devil was shocked.

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

The devil opened his mouth and was about to speak to remind him.

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

The wind is whistling, the sky is spinning.

—It took the devil two seconds to realize what Shi'an did.

… This ancestor jumped the fuck off! !

The moment the words broke through the throat, they turned into screams, resounding in the empty valley: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah -"

Deep in the crack.

Mu Heng lightly threw the dark blood drops on the silver sword, behind which another corpse of the Abyssal Species crashed down.

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

… Is anyone screaming

The author has something to say:

Devil: "Haha, damn it."
