-The demon worm was awakened by scalding.
There was a scorching hot temperature under the feet, and the carapace made a sizzling noise under the high-temperature scorching.
Ah ah ah dying ah ah ah ah ah ah!
It screamed in horror, and kicked and kicked wildly in the air with six thin legs.
"… You are noisy."
The slightly impatience voice of the human teenager sounded very close.
Immediately afterwards, a terrible coercion came, and instantly strangled the devil's throat.
It froze in midair, staring blankly at the human being 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 demon worm finally stopped screaming, Shi An extinguished the dragon flame at his fingertips.
His appearance has returned to normal, only the depth of his pupils is faintly shining with a dark red light in the dark, like hot charcoal, revealing a little inhuman quality.
-The memories just now flooded like a tide.
Eyes, scales, flames.
… Dragon.
"--Yes, but all the dragons are dead!" The Demon Worm screamed hysterically, his voice tremblingly changed: "There are no more fantasy species on this continent!"
Shi An tilted his head suspiciously: "I'm not dead."
"..."
Suddenly the devil didn't know how to answer the conversation.
Twenty minutes later, Shi'an finally understood the current situation of this era.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke in disbelief: "So, there are no elves now?"
"there is none left."
"Where is the mermaid? Lich—"
"Yes, it's all gone."
Shi'an pupil earthquake.
He really did not expect that after so many years, only the weakest species survived:
"how so?!"
"No, I don't know." The Demon Insect replied cautiously.
—It has begun to believe that the dragon in front of it may really be a dragon that has survived the ancient times:
"None of us lived that long."
It asked with trepidation: "So... you, are you really a dragon?"
Shi An glanced at it badly.
"!" The demon shook his body, and quickly changed his wording: "No, no, I didn't mean to question your identity, but..."
"Why did you become like this?"
From the inside to the outside, from the blood bones to the skin, there are all human scents like fakes-even if it is a powerful fantasy species, this disguise is too real.
These words reminded Shi An that he finally remembered the reason why he caught the bug back.
"In the banquet hall before, I smelled a... smell." Shi An held the demon worm that was panicking and wanted to flee, pinched it in his hand and looked up and down carefully, then frowned, and said suspiciously. : "...But no more now."
odor
The Demon Insect was taken aback and stopped struggling: "Yes, is this it?"
The familiar dark breath spread silently.
"Yes!" Shi An's eyes lit up: "What is this?"
"... Poison, poison gas."
The devil replied stupidly.
The bottom of the abyss is filled with poisonous air. For the species living in it, poison gas can make them more brutal and aggressive.
All creatures that crawl out of the abyss will habitually transform the air around them when attacking to make it suitable.
But it is fatal to the creatures on the mainland.
Logically speaking, Dragon is no exception.
The devil 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 finger of the boy in front of him was slightly loose, but he pinched it again in the next second.
Shi An stared at the insect in front of him with bright eyes, and shook it without mercy:
"continue."
Devil:? ?
It was dizzy and dizzy, and suddenly, an ominous premonition struck.
"Then, that..." It said cautiously: "Excuse me... What kind of dragon are you?"
Fire dragon? Agile, slender, fiery flames.
Or black dragon? Majestic, huge, amazing...
Shi An grinned: "The Abyssal Dragon."
-Fierce, cruel, and uncertain.
Even in ancient times, it was the strongest and most terrifying species of all dragons.
The most important thing is that being born in the abyss, growing in the abyss, no matter where on the mainland is a figure of hegemony level.
Devil: "..."
Grass.
I'm sorry to bother you.
After the anti-killing heart was strangled in the cradle, the demon worm obediently shook out everything he knew.
After slumbering 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 between the front and back at will, but after the fantasy seed disappeared, the abyss was firmly sealed, only occasionally a few gaps could be opened, but the poison gas could not come out. , Only the abyss species can.
On the ground, after the fantasy species disappeared, mankind created a civilization constructed by magic and technology, and gradually became the master of the continent. The conflict between them and other monsters has also intensified, and it has almost reached the point of irreconcilability.
But these Shi'an didn't care very much.
And those things he really cares about haven't made 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 even produced only a little poisonous gas.
This concentration is too low, there is no way for him to find the sensation that he had previously touched in the banquet hall. The body still stubbornly maintains a human form, and there is no tendency to recover at all.
"... Okay." Shi An sighed disappointedly: "It seems you are useless."
Devil: "?"
Before it could react, a cluster of flames rose up in front of him, and the scorching heat instantly rushed to his face.
The demon screamed: "Wait, wait!!"
Shi An moved for a while, and asked with a good temper: "Huh? What's the matter?"
—If you ignore the dragon flame on his fingertips.
Devil: "I still use it! It's still useful!"
It fluttered with six thin legs in the air, and said tremblingly: "I, I know there are stronger monsters there that can create more poisonous fog in the abyss!"
Shi An became interested: "Where?"
The demon worm carefully hugged Shi'an's finger, and said flatly:
"I, the gap I crawled out of, I, I can take you there."
It paused, and stammered: "But... it might be a little bit difficult."
"Difficulty?" Shi'an frowned.
The demon said: "Its location is very secretive, and its guards are also very strict. I relied on the weakest larval form, parasitizing three people in a row and barely sneaked out."
"Do you know the ability school?"
Shi An nodded.
The devil 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 for the start of school."
"...Huh?" The Demon Worm didn't react for a while.
Shi An pointed to the randomly discarded envelope on his bedside table, with the seal of the Ability Academy stamped on it, and it had five big words—the admission notice: “It seems like there is still a week left?”
Devil: "..."
To actually enroll the Abyssal Dragon into the school, it feels that most humans are going to die.
"You guessed it right." Zhuo Fu pushed a document over, with a rare solemn expression on his face:
"The abyss has been very unstable recently."
Mu Heng turned two pages, his gaze scanned casually.
"During this period of time, there have been endless reports of the appearance of the abyss crack in various places. Although it has occurred from time to time in the past, the recent frequency is too high." Zhuo Fu took a deep breath and said: "Especially now, it actually appears in Shangcheng District. The Abyssal Species... Then there is only one possibility—"
Mu Heng closed the file:
"The new rift is nearby."
Zhuo Fu squinted his eyes: "You knew it a long time ago."
"It's not hard to guess." Mu Heng pushed the file back: "But it's hard to find."
He raised his eyes, squinted his silver-blue eyes, and said unhurriedly: "My people have been sent out, and they are searching the whole city in a carpet style."
Mu Heng tapped the desktop with his fingertips:
"Remember to get the approval documents."
Zhuo Fu: "..."
—You're fucking squeezing labor! !
After sending Zhuo Fu away, Mu Heng was left alone in the office again.
He lowered his eyes and picked up the document 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 fine print, condensing the first half of his life without much trouble in it.
Except—
Inexplicable disappearance, and unexpected admission.
Mu Heng squinted without a trace, all his emotions were hidden under the blue ice floes.
At this time, the door was knocked.
"Enter."
Wen Yao opened the door cautiously: "Sir, the academy for those with abilities has sent an invitation letter again. Will the rejection letter be sent out the same way?"
"No need." Mu Heng said.
Wen Yao obviously didn't expect this unexpected answer, and couldn't help being taken aback.
I saw Mu Heng put down the information, crossed his slender and pale fingers indifferently, and said, "I will go to the opening ceremony this time."
A few days before the start of school, the butler has already begun to help Shi'an prepare the things he needs for school.
He put every item on the list properly in his suitcase, then picked up his full backpack when he picked it up—then he was almost staggered by the heavy weight.
Butler: "... What have you installed?"
Shi An firmly carried the backpack into his arms, and said solemnly: "- personal belongings."
The butler glanced at Shi An suspiciously, and finally did not continue to ask, but turned around to make other preparations.
The wrinkles on Shi An's cuffs moved, and the Demon Insect quietly poked out his head.
It looked at the suitcase that was almost packed in front of it, and felt a bit ridiculous for a while: "You...you are really going to go directly to the academy like this."
Shi An nodded naturally: "Of course."
"I received the notice." He emphasized.
Devil: "I didn't mean that..."
"It is said that the security measures of this academy of capable persons are very strict, so you don't worry about..."
It realized that it had said something wrong, and hurriedly slapped the rainbow fart: "Of course! You certainly don't have to be afraid of the weak ants, but they are a hindrance to our plan after all, and the most important thing is , Although your current body shouldn’t matter, but I’m a monster after all, I’m afraid I can’t fool the security guard—"
The demon worm secretly looked up.
The boy squinted lazily, resting his chin on the bag, looking extremely comfortable.
The devil suddenly realized: "You already have a solution, right?"
Shi An thought for a long while.
Then he shook his head honestly: "No."
Devil: "..."
I fucking—
At this moment, the sound of ringing the doorbell came from downstairs.
—From the first day he got here, no one has ever rang the doorbell.
Shi An got up and walked downstairs.
I saw the butler standing at the door with a cold face, and in front of him stood a young man whose facial features were three-thirds similar to Shi Zechun's. His tone was polite and stiff: "-May I ask you what's the matter?"
Shi Rui stood at the door with an impeccable smile: "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.
Ok? Who is this person
Shi Rui smiled and said, "You don't know about the opening ceremony of the Academy for the Ability, right?"
"It was said that it was the opening ceremony, but it was actually a large-scale actual combat assessment."
"The assessment lasts for several days, and will be divided into classes based on the assessment results, so... some tricks to fool the machine may not be very useful." Shi Rui's lips wore a secret smile, meaning something. Said referring to.
The butler's expression became 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 am here to call my brother to go with me."
His smile was perfect, without any hint of ostentation.
All the malice was hidden without a trace, and it seemed extremely close and friendly: "Brothers should take care of each other."
The butler's brow furrowed even tighter.
He is very aware of his young master’s talents. Although he can barely pass the magic test of the academy, he has never experienced any magic training, let alone drills... Although he hopes that the young master will emerge and win the attention of the master and the family again His status, but he was still more worried about Shi'an being injured than that.
Just as he was about to tactfully refuse, he only heard the young clear voice coming from behind:
"Huh? Simulation?"
The butler was startled and turned to look.
I saw the young man stepping forward with a sincere expression: "Then it can simulate the entrance test... Can the security measures in it?"
—It is best to let him test whether he can get in with a face bug.
Shi Rui was taken aback for a moment, and for a moment he was a little confused as to why the other party said that, and subconsciously replied:
"… perhaps?"
Shi An's eyes lit up: "Ok, let's go then."
The author has something to say:
Shi An (serious): Security is not important, mainly because I want to get good grades in the exam.
Shi Rui: "..."
I believe you a ghost.
