Chapter 207: Colluding on Their Story
In the dark and slippery jungle, several instructors were rushing forward, their eyes fixed on the direction where the rumbling sound had come from, their faces filled with gravity.
“What just fell from the sky?” Instructor Zhang asked with furrowed brows as he ran.
Instructor Han Li shook his head, “Don’t know, but it looked massive, must be some kind of Mystery…”
“A Mystery that big? Must be at least ‘Sea’ level, right?”
“Didn’t you hear what the Commander said in the communication? The massive earthquake inside Jinnan Mountain earlier might have been caused by the Earth Dragon. Could what fell be the Earth Dragon?”
“That’s impossible. Earth Dragons live underground, how could it fly into the sky? And with a body that size, if it really flew up, someone would have definitely seen it.” Instructor Zhang firmly shook his head.
Instructor Han Li took a deep breath, “Whatever it is, we need to be careful. The Commander and others are trying to rescue the No. 1 rescue team trapped in the [Absolute Earth Domain]. We just need to quickly figure out what fell from the sky.”
“And the Commander mentioned… there are Ancient God Church people in this mountain.”
The instructors fell silent, quietly increasing their pace as they ran toward where the heavy object had fallen.
After some time, Instructor Han Li seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped, turning to look at a spot in the forest.
Seeing this, the other instructors also stopped.
“What did you find?”
Han Li’s brows furrowed as he quickly walked into the forest beside them. The other instructors exchanged glances and instinctively followed.
Pushing aside the scattered branches, they soon came to a clearing. In the dim forest, they saw a youth wearing a military coat lying in the mud, with a bloodstained straight sword stuck in the ground beside him.
“Lin Qiye?!”
The instructors were shocked at the sight. Instructor Han Li quickly went forward and, after confirming Lin Qiye was only unconscious, breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned and carried the unconscious Lin Qiye on his back, picking up the straight sword from the ground and returning it to its scabbard.
“How did he end up here? I thought he was caught in the [Absolute Earth Domain] too.” Instructor Zhang also sighed in relief seeing Lin Qiye was unharmed.
“Looks like he got lucky and just missed the range of the Earth Dragon’s movement.” Instructor Han looked at the blood dripping from the sword onto the ground. “However, he must have been through a fierce battle, and won.”
“As expected of this year’s top recruit, impressive!” Instructor Zhang grinned, then asked puzzledly, “But… where’s his enemy’s corpse? Did they not die? That’s impossible… the Ancient God Church people wouldn’t have let him go.”
Instructor Han shook his head, “Don’t know, but let’s keep moving forward. Everything will become clear once he wakes up.”
The instructors didn’t waste time and ran quickly forward. Soon, they arrived at where the Flame Vein Earth Dragon had fallen.
Looking at the huge headless dragon corpse before them, all the instructors gaped in shock, their eyes full of disbelief!
“So it really was the Earth Dragon? But… how did it fly into the sky? And it must have been at least ‘Sea’ level in strength. Even the Commander might not be able to kill it in a one-on-one fight!”
“Who in Cangnan City has the ability to kill an Earth Dragon? And dump its body in Jinnan Mountain?”
While everyone was puzzled, Instructor Han froze and instinctively looked back at the unconscious Lin Qiye on his back.
Damn, it couldn’t be…?
…
Underground.
Riding the golden sword shadow transformed by [Yaoguang], the three people slowly ascending remained silent. Bai Li Pangpang looked up at the seemingly endless rock layers and worriedly spoke:
“Will Seven be okay?”
Instructor Hong was silent for a moment. “Don’t know, but judging from the power he just displayed, he should be fine.”
“How did he do it?” Shen Qingzhu couldn’t figure it out.
“There are several ways to temporarily ignite potential and increase one’s level. The Night Watchmen’s emblem is one such method, but I’ve never heard of anyone jumping straight to ‘Sea’ level like he did…”
“Moreover, when he made his move earlier, I seemed to sense… the presence of a ‘God’.”
“God?” Bai Li Pangpang’s eyes widened. “Was it the God that Seven represents helping him?”
“Don’t know, but without a doubt, the secrets Lin Qiye carries might far exceed our imagination.” Instructor Hong shook his head.
Hearing this, all three fell silent.
After a long while, Bai Li Pangpang tentatively spoke up, “Instructor Hong, I think after we get out, this matter…”
“Better not mention it,” Instructor Hong calmly finished Bai Li Pangpang’s sentence.
“Everyone has their secrets and opportunities, that’s normal. Although the Night Watchmen are an open-minded organization, when it comes to matters involving ‘Gods’, they handle things very cautiously… even radically.”
“If they learn that Lin Qiye has some secret connection with ‘Gods’, they will definitely temporarily deprive him of his freedom, transfer him to Beijing for questioning and investigation, until everything is completely cleared up and they confirm he has no connection to those high-risk ‘Gods’ or ‘forbidden objects’, and that there are no other risks, before letting him go.”
Instructor Hong calmly said, “Lin Qiye is a good seedling, both in character and potential. He’s not a bad person, we know this best in our hearts.”
“There’s no need to jeopardize his future over this small matter.”
Hearing Instructor Hong’s words, Bai Li Pangpang finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, “I thought Instructor Hong would report Lin Qiye’s situation directly to the Night Watchmen… Looks like I was being too suspicious.”
“Hmph, in you youngsters’ eyes, are we really that rigid?” Instructor Hong said irritably.
Bai Li Pangpang seemed to think of something and turned to the silent Shen Qingzhu:
“Cool bro, don’t let anything slip!”
“Relax, my mouth is tighter than a dead man’s,” Shen Qingzhu said flatly.
“In that case, I think we need to get our stories straight…” Bai Li Pangpang thought for a moment before continuing.
After the three finished their discussion, Bai Li Pangpang let out a breath and looked up at the ceiling above, speaking helplessly:
“Why aren’t we at the surface yet…”
“At this thing’s speed, we should be about halfway there. It’ll take a few more minutes to reach the top,” Instructor Hong had been calculating the distance and spoke calmly.
Bai Li Pangpang shrugged, about to say something, when the rock wall beside him suddenly exploded!
A blurry black shadow burst out from the rock wall, striking Bai Li Pangpang like lightning. Its speed was too fast, and coming directly through the rock wall, no one had time to react!
Bai Li Pangpang was hit by the black shadow, violently spitting out blood as he slammed heavily into the opposite rock wall with a grunt.
The golden sword shadow beneath the three’s feet instantly dissipated without a trace.
