Chapter 28: Fire Hound
Chapter 28: Fire Hound
The water, empowered by the wind, instantly formed a towering tidal wave, resembling a colossal water dragon piercing through the sky.
At this moment, Li Qian had realized that whether he could harm the enemy was one thing, but the commotion had to be made into a grand spectacle.
Ideally, it should be so evident that everyone could see it clearly and distinctly.
The water tornado, with its unstoppable momentum, fiercely attacked the mysterious red-robed man and the Nightmare Crow where they stood.
Rocks were blown away, trees were uprooted, and in an instant, the area resembled a scene of apocalyptic devastation.
The mysterious red-robed man frowned deeply as he witnessed this.
"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, then immediately commanded his two companion beasts, "Nightmare Crow, use Shadow Vanish; Rock Python, use Rock Guard."
As his words fell, the Nightmare Crow in mid-air instantly disappeared without a trace.
Simultaneously, the four stone walls rose, forming an encirclement, and in the blink of an eye, a rock fortress was erected.
The water tornado passed by, and the rocks and stones on the fortress crumbled, but the fortress itself remained largely unaffected.
"Huff... Huff..."
Li Qian's breathing sounded like a bellows.
He and Qizi shared a deep connection, and before the latter could activate its skill, Li Qian had already started sprinting towards the bottom of the waterfall.
Although it's easier to climb up than down, Li Qian had experienced an evolutionary feedback, significantly enhancing his physical abilities. So, when the gale weakened slightly, he had already reached about halfway down the stone steps.
He could even see An Paozi standing by the water reservoir with remarkable clarity.
At this moment, An Paozi stood rooted to the spot, gaping in shock like a wooden statue.
Seeing this, Li Qian almost couldn't hold back from cursing out loud.
An Paozi, who usually seemed quite clever, had unexpectedly become foolish at this critical moment.
"Run!"
After blurting out the word, Li Qian quickened his pace even more.
Just as Li Qian was sprinting downhill at full speed, the aftermath of the water tornado's rampage revealed a figure and a companion beast within the stone fortress, which split into two halves.
The mysterious red-robed man surveyed the chaotic scene, his face darkening with rage.
"You little brat, I'll make sure you die without a burial!" he spat with venom, mentally commanding the Nightmare Crow in mid-air, preparing to launch a fierce assault on Li Qian.
However, just then, his gaze casually swept across the waterfall's peak, and the sight he beheld froze him in place.
There, at the top of the waterfall, the pool had lost a substantial amount of water due to the cyclone, revealing a portion of the pool's bottom.
It was this sight at the bottom of the pool that stunned the mysterious red-robed man, followed by a surge of intense joy.
The originally deep and murky pool, now deprived of much of its water, surprisingly revealed layers of glowing halos at its bottom.
The mysterious red-robed man, being a follower of the Ancient God Sect, had secretly infiltrated the Cloud Mist Mountain Resort with the primary goal of finding traces of the Misty Fog Ruins.
At this very moment, without a doubt, he had inadvertently stumbled upon the entrance to the ruins, thanks to Li Qian's actions.
At the very least, the glowing halos at the bottom of the pool indicated the location of the ruins' entrance.
Without further hesitation, the mysterious red-robed man commanded the Nightmare Crow to charge straight towards the glowing halos at the bottom of the pool.
"Flame Spray!"
Just as the Nightmare Crow was about to make contact, a thick column of fire erupted with astonishing speed, striking the crow.
"Gah~!"
The Nightmare Crow couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the massive fire column, emitting a piercing shriek.
Smack!
Hit by the fire column, the Nightmare Crow plummeted into the water pool, its fate unknown.
Puff!
The mysterious red-robed man, upon seeing his companion beast suffer such a heavy blow, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"It was you damnable vermin after all. This time, you can enjoy the scenery of the Federal Prison."
A black-clad Public Security Bureau investigator emerged from the darkness. By his side stood a dog-like companion beast, about the size of a calf, with a coat of crimson fur.
Indeed, the visitor was none other than a member of the Yunlan City Police Special Operations Team. "Sharp eyes, but no reward." His tone turned fierce.
The flame shot out, instantly forming a dragon shape in mid-air.
The dragon-shaped flame, with its overwhelming might, rushed towards the mysterious man in red robes.
"Overlord-grade!" Faced with the terrifying dragon-shaped flame, the man in red robes exclaimed in horror, recognizing the strength of the investigator.
"Rock Guard!" With no time to dodge, he had no choice but to command the Rock Python to continue using Rock Guard, barely holding on.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Qian had escaped to the bottom of the waterfall, while Seven Sons hovered above his head.
After reuniting with An Paozi and recalling Ah Fu, Li Qian was ready to employ the strategy of retreat as the best option.
"Roar..."
However, just at that moment, Seven Sons suddenly let out a series of dragon roars.
Li Qian was stunned. A dragon-shaped flame rose into the air, heading straight for a particular location.
Even from a distance of over a hundred meters, Li Qian could feel the intense heat.
The terrifying power of the flame was evident.
The sudden appearance of the dragon-shaped flame made Li Qian pause.
"What's going on?" An Paozi was confused and looked at Li Qian, a question mark appearing on his forehead.
Li Qian shook his head.
The only thing he could be sure of at the moment was... leaving this place of trouble as soon as possible.
With this in mind, he turned to An Paozi and shared his thoughts, "Forget about it, with our small Caramies, we should avoid getting involved in dangerous matters."
An Paozi immediately agreed, nodding his head, "Yeah, I've been wanting to leave this place for a long time."
After confirming each other's thoughts, they headed straight for the location of the scenic area without hesitation.
Along the way, Seven Sons flew low, providing protection.
This gave Li Qian and An Paozi a sense of security.
"You're right, brother. To hell with the Black Flame Swordsman." An Paozi, out of breath, glanced at the low-flying Green Scaled Serpent and exclaimed enviously, "The Green Scaled Serpent is the real YYDS!"
"Don't say anything more, after leaving this place, I must get a Green Scaled Serpent!"
Li Qian shrugged, "Money is not an issue, the key is, for the carp to complete its evolution, we must find a suitable waterfall."
"So, who knows, we might have to come back to this place again!"
An Paozi's mouth twitched, and after a moment, he said in a low voice, "I'll go back and discuss with An Tianyou, see if we can take over this Cloudmist Mountain Resort..."
Li Qian was puzzled, "An Tianyou is your..."
An Paozi: "My grandpa!"
Li Qian: "..."
