Chapter 252: The Wise Seek Power Outward
Chapter 252: The Wise Seek Power Outward
After another day of arduous travel, the group finally returned to the old Gold Mountain.
There was still some distance from the old man's antique shop, but sharp-eyed Little Yu saw a bald head squatting at the entrance, staring at them with a fierce gaze.
More accurately, he was staring at her.
Oh no!
She had completely forgotten about stealing the talisman!
"Lu Ke, Old Man, I suddenly remembered I still have..."
Lu Ke immediately picked up the trembling Little Yu, giving her a lengthy lecture: "Little Yu, before you do something, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. If you cause trouble, you must learn to take responsibility."
Little Yu pleaded with her hands clasped together: "Lu Ke, give me a chance, I stole the talisman for you."
Lu Ke remained unmoved: "You can explain it to him, let's see if he gives you a chance."
As they spoke, Blake approached, reaching out to Little Yu.
"Little Yu, you've fully demonstrated your abilities, but now, I need you to return the talisman."
Little Yu nervously handed over the talisman to Blake, stammering an explanation: "Actually, the chicken talisman can float automatically, and the cow talisman works well with it, so the chicken took the cow and flew away."
"How did they end up in your hands?"
"This..."
"Everywhere in District 13 is monitored, Little Yu."
Little Yu nodded seriously, summarizing her actions, determined to do better next time.
"Alright, Officer Blake, I'll remember next time!"
Blake: ...
No more next time!
He sighed helplessly, knowing that Little Yu was just a child and couldn't really punish her.
Blake looked at Lu Ke, sizing up this seemingly innocent child: "You are the Lu ke that Cheng with Cheng Long and Little Yu often mentioned."
"Hello, Officer Blake," Lu Ke greeted politely.
Blake bent down to pat Lu Ke's head, "Pleased to meet you, little one... hiss~"
Old Man scolded at Blake, hitting him three times, his expression displeased: "Don't touch a Saint Fighter's head."
Blake, wincing in pain, didn't argue, knowing that his knowledge of mysticism was lacking and he might have made a mistake.
"It seems you've had quite an adventure, I'd like to hear about it, but first, I need to return the talisman and Little Yu to the shop."
Lu Ke chuckled without a smile, ignoring Little Yu's pleading eyes, speaking in a calm tone.
"Be careful on the way."
A long-awaited brown taxi stopped in front of them, taking Blake and Little Yu away.
Old Man watched the slowly dissipating exhaust fumes of the car.
"Little Yu is very smart, but sometimes too mischievous. I wonder when she will grow up."
"She will grow up naturally when the time comes."
Lu Ke didn't respond, walking forward and opening the door.
Old Man eagerly prepared a cup of coffee for himself and added a bit of garlic, his body having recovered its youth, but these two things had become habits he couldn't quit.
Just entering the shop, Lu Ke sensed something was off, the protective magic he usually set up in the shop had been deactivated.
Someone came in and out of the shop again, and the protective magic had been restored.
Had the thief simply appeared in the antique shop and then ran out, and hadn't forgotten to "close the door"?
"Who could it be?" It was rare for something to happen that Lu Ke didn't know about, and this piqued his curiosity.
...
Beneath the Golden Gate Bridge.
Beside a not-so-turbulent river, a creature resembling a lizardman with a partially missing ear stumbled to the riverbank. It cautiously looked around, confirming there was no danger, and then used its sharp claws to dig into the ground, quickly uncovering a mechanism.
The lizard creature's face lit up. It pressed the mechanism, and with a slight tremor, a mechanical pillar rose, revealing a dragon head sculpture. The dragon's mouth opened, exposing sharp teeth that exuded a thick black aura.
"I've found it, Father's dragon teeth."
He quickly extracted the teeth and put them away, but just as he finished, a shiver ran through him. He stiffened and looked up.
There, a slim figure had appeared, clearly the grown-up Chen Xiaoyu. She looked down at the lizard creature from above.
"I've found you, Demon Xiao Long."
Chen Xiaoyu's shoes were a special flying device, and she was currently wearing a pair of sunglasses. In her hand, a uniquely designed black-tech gun was aimed at the lizard creature.
"The sunglasses developed by Zhou can detect black aura from close range, you know that."
Demon Xiao Long let out an angry roar. He knew that, but without the dragon teeth, he couldn't resurrect the Holy Lord, and he couldn't even take the first step.
"Damn it! Chen Xiaoyu, why won't you leave me alone!"
"You should be in the viewing area of the magical zoo in District 13, not here."
"Never! I am a noble dragon, and I will never submit. The age of dragons will come!"
Demon Xiao Long, while roaring, shot a beam of scorching flame from his mouth at Chen Xiaoyu.
Chen Xiaoyu's face showed a hint of regret. She pulled the trigger, and the unique gun emitted a strong blue-white light. A coin-shaped bullet, carrying terrifying kinetic energy and electricity, was fired.
The moment the railgun bullet made contact with the flame beam, it shattered the latter. Demon Xiao Long's pupils dilated, and he rolled to avoid the bullet, but his other ear was reduced to ashes.
"How is this possible... I could hold out for a while before."
"This is the latest L-21 model."
Chen Xiaoyu smiled and aimed the gun at Demon Xiao Long again.
Demon Xiao Long's already green face turned even greener, almost gray. His tone was bitter.
"Chen Xiaoyu, don't you remember saying that the wise seek power within!"
Chen Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, "I'm the head of District 13. The equipment of District 13 counts as seeking power within."
Demon Xiao Long: ...
Despicable! Shameless! Dishonorable!
He was unwilling to be taken back, but he had no power to resist. Under the threat of the portable railgun, he could only helplessly watch as Chen Xiaoyu approached step by step.
Just then, a black-purple aura bloomed in front of Demon Xiao Long.
The old man with white hair, heterochromatic eyes, and a snake-like waist, Dao Long, appeared on the battlefield. He looked at the bulge on Chen Xiaoyu's belt with fiery eyes.
After attacking Lu Ke's group and sensing the presence of the talisman, he had made a talisman locator and tracked it all the way to San Francisco. Now, he had finally found his target.
"I sense the aura of the talisman."
"The scorching magical aura, the continuous flow of energy."
"It's... the Dragon Talisman!"
He looked up at the grown-up Chen Xiaoyu, surprised. "The Saint Fighter's guardian suddenly grew up?"
Chen Xiaoyu thought for a moment before recognizing him. "It's you, Dao Long? It's been a long time."
"We met two days ago. Hand over the Chicken Talisman and the Cow Talisman!"
Dao Long snorted. "This time, there's no little Saint Fighter to protect you."
"Gan, Wen, Cui!"
