"The dragon took him."
Chapter 65
Inside the cave, which is gray and cold, members of the Administration are going from one student to the next to register and help those who are trapped.
The entrance to the cave was narrow, and the sound of wind and snow poured in. Several frozen corpses lay in the doorway, their blood long since frozen and dried, a sign of the difficult battles that had taken place here.
The sound of arguing came from inside the cave.
"You don't understand! We have a friend who's trapped, and he's in a much more critical situation than we are!"
Zhao She was in a hurry, the laceration on his right arm was still dripping blood, he looked in a bad state, his face was pale and his body was covered with battle marks, but he was still stubbornly trying to break free from the Administration officers, looking anxiously to the left and right:
"Where are your superiors! Where's the rest of the backup!"
"Eh-eh-eh, don't worry, they'll be here soon, but until then you have to-"
At this moment, a tall silver-haired man walked in from the snow and wind, his face pale, his expression cold and sharp, like a cold blade out of its sheath, with a kind of sharp hostility that people dare not look at.
The cave was silent for a split second under the other party's powerful aura.
Taking the opportunity to break free from the Administration member who was blocking his way, Zhao She stumbled forward and cried out urgently, "Officer Mu! You must help me, help Shi An--"
Upon hearing this familiar name, Wen Yao, who instinctively wanted to stop the visitor, couldn't help but make a move.
She subconsciously craned her head towards Mu Hang.
Mu Hang raised his hand, stopping a subordinate who tried to step forward.
He took a step toward Zhao She.
Looking at the man walking towards him, Zhao She curbed his urge to retreat and stood up straight to meet the other party.
Mu Hang lowered his eyes, his eyes colorless with sadness, and said succinctly:
"Say."
*
Inside the auction house vault.
Shi An stares at the empowered man in front of her and slowly loosens a bit of air from her fingers, forcing down her anger and squeezing a short syllable out from between her teeth, "...... said."
The ability person finally had a little room to breathe, he coughed twice with difficulty, his eyes looked at the monster-like teenager in front of him with horror, and stammered, "In, six hours ago, someone took an order from the top head of the Chen family, and brought a bunch of people to ...... him, and they told me to split the treasure into two parts , the minority portion was placed inside the vault with the auction house's auction items awaiting transportation by land, and the majority portion was taken away directly by flying machine at that time-"
Shi An was stunned.
Taken?
However, the man who had just been in the hall had pointed directly to the location of the vault when he had asked where the treasure had gone - it wasn't like him to be lying in a life-and-death situation like that.
What about that?
While this was happening, Shi An heard his shirt pocket buzzing.
He lurched slightly, then remembered that the clothes were not his own.
So it would be someone else trying to contact the owner of the suit?
Shi An reached into his buzzing pocket and pulled out a pitch-black satellite communicator.
As soon as it was connected, an anxious voice rang out from the opposite side of the room, appearing somewhat broken and blurred amidst the rustling current: "Chen Jia! Chen Jia! Have you arrived at the auction house's warehouse yet?"
Shi An narrowed her eyes and gave a brief "hmm" into the microphone.
"You check the cargo quickly!"
The man on the other side cursed, "Fuck, those stinking mercenaries, they actually suddenly turned against us and raided the Chen family's base six hours ago, and cut off communications, our manpower is now outside, and we didn't realize that something was wrong until now, the old man has just been sent to the emergency room, but all the seals have disappeared, damn it, these dogs set us up! --"
The teenager's slender white fingers tightened slightly.
Ka-chow--
The hard metal casing of the communicator crunched, a few cracks spreading out, and was easily crushed into slag, flopping to the ground.
There were a few tingles of electricity, then a permanent dead silence.
The ability gazed at the seemingly harmless teenager in front of her in horror, and for a moment she couldn't actually make any sound.
Shi An twisted her head to look over, a daunting inhumanity still lingering in the fiery color of her eyes.
"What else do you know?" He shook the ability in his hand, narrowing his eyes afterward.
"Other than that, I really don't know about the rest of it!"
Suddenly, he seemed to suddenly think of something and spoke, "Right, right! I remember that the ship they drove over at that time, although it was covered tightly, I still saw a little ...... Irving Sector's rear turbine was under the metal shell, but this ship's turbine was on the rear side of the shell, this feature, should, should be a ship that originated from Rust Sector!"
Ross D.C..
Located on the eastern side of the entire continent, it borders the Avon District.
--Over the tallest mountains in the Avon Snowfields, you can access the eastern canyon of the Rust District, which is infested with magical creatures capable of making amber resin, as Shi An knows it.
"O Ross D.C. ......"
Shi An murmured softly.
He craned his head to look at the ability in his hand and acknowledged his thanks, "Thank you, that's very useful information."
His knuckles tightened slightly as he spoke.
"Click."
A crisp crack of bone resounded through the large vault as the ability's neck was snapped at an eerie angle, falling softly to the ground without a sound.
*
"So Shi An held off the mercenaries alone to buy time for your escape?"
Wen Yao asked, somewhat incredulously.
"But, he's not ......" halfway through his sentence Wen Yao realized something was wrong and hastily closed his voice.
"I'm aware of the rumors out there, but I promise on my honor that none of those rumors are true."
Zhao She said solemnly:
"Shi An is very strong, maybe even stronger than all of us, if not for his family treating him poorly and persecuting him, he wouldn't have hidden his strength until now ......"
"And ...... "Zhao She gritted her teeth and slowly nodded, "If it wasn't for him, we might have all become hostages in the hands of that group of mercenaries.After leaving the cave, we gathered the other trapped people to stop the counterattack, although we killed some of the mercenaries, we were still completely unable to stand out, and the communication around us was completely cut off, so we were trapped-"
He smashed his thigh hard and his voice choked a little, "I, I clearly promised him that I would do my best to bring back the rescuers, but, but ......"
Zhao She's eyes were red and she couldn't speak.
Wen Yao pursed his lips, somewhat slowed down by the onslaught of such a huge amount of information.
She subconsciously twisted her head towards Mu Hang, who hadn't said a word since a moment ago.
-Sure enough, someone who can be looked upon by the chief must not be any idle person.
Wen Yao withdrew his sight and said to Zhao She in a serious and earnest manner, "We know, we'll organize a rescue immediately next, you just go and recuperate from your injuries at ease now."
After finally getting the injured student to medical attention, Wen Yao looked over at Mu Hang:
"Sir, I'll organize the men right now-"
Unexpectedly, Mu Hang interrupted her by saying, "No need."
Wen Yao was stunned, "What?"
Mu Hang: "Shi An is no longer in the canyon."
Wen Yao's face showed a look of extreme confusion, "Do you mean that you already know where Shi An is going?"
Mu Hang raised his eyes, his pale blue eyes as deep as the abyss, his voice low and slightly hoarse, with a bit of biting coldness:
"Right."
Several questions that had been unanswerable had trapped him since a few moments ago.
For example, who saved him and who healed his wounds.
But after Mu Hang awakens, though he is puzzled, the fury and powerlessness of losing Shi An takes over, preventing him from being distracted from his thoughts.
And don't dare think about it in detail.
...... including the kiss that seemed to come from a dream when he was unconscious, not knowing whether it was unreal or real.
And now, there's one more problem.
Mu Hang's eyes flashed with the first image he saw after awakening.
The huge dragon that flew up in the blizzard with its wings spread out, its metallic scales glittering with silver light between the wind and snow, as if it were shrouded in a layer of brightly shining light.
--Since the blood sacrifice was not completed, why did the dragon come?
The answer cries out.
Mu Hang's eyes were cold and deep, and a burning dark fire burned silently in the depths of his eyes, like a dark blue flame in the depths of the abyss.
He said slowly:
"The dragon took him."
Wen Yao froze, "...... Dragon?"
She hesitated and inquired, "I don't think the one that appeared this time is the same one as the previous one, is it?"
She remembered that the dragon that appeared within the Ability Academy was a black dragon with a black body, and just now, even though it was only a brief glimpse, Wen Yao was still able to affirm that the dragon that appeared on the foothills was silver-white.
Does it mean that two dragons appeared?
Her heart couldn't help but sink slowly.
One giant dragon was already so strong, if it was really two, was it really possible for humans to deal with it?
Mu Hang said, "No, it's the same one."
Although the color of the scales was different, no matter the figure, the breath, or the feeling it gave him, it was no different from before.
He didn't know why the color of the dragon had changed, but one thing he was sure of was that there was only this one dragon, unique, in the entire continent.
While this was going on, a member of the Administration came running in hurriedly from outside the cave.
The mercenary's squad had been largely cleared out, the communication equipment had been restored, and news from the outside could finally be received within the snowy plains.
He whispered into Wen Yao's ear.
A horrified look appeared on Wen Yao's face, "What? The auction house? A giant dragon has appeared?"
*
Shi An sits back in his seat, bored, propping his chin up with his hand.
Not far away, the black smoke swallowed the gold and gems inside the auction house vault with difficulty and slowness.
It looked to Shi An with tears in its eyes : "Da, lord, I really can't eat anymore ......"
Shi An said relentlessly, "Keep eating."
Although his own treasure had not been found, he couldn't just leave empty-handed.
Therefore, the other treasures inside the auction house he laughed at nonchalantly.
Dragons were a greedy race, and as long as a treasure came into sight, even if it was not as valuable as it once was, there was absolutely no way it could be spared.
It was at this time that an unusual sound suddenly came from outside the vault.
Shi An frowned.
That's odd. There's no human scent coming after us.
He stood up and headed out of the vault.
Only half of the screen that had crashed to the ground in the mostly destroyed hall not far away was remotely manipulated and lit up.
The man with silver hair and blue eyes appeared in the picture.
It looked bad, but it was clear that life was not in danger.
Shi An hooked her lips.
He knew that his collection would never die so easily.
The Mu Hang on the screen looked over, his vision straight and sharp, as if he could penetrate all the entities and spaces that stood between them.
"Good day, Lord Chiron."
His voice was very calm, with no ripples of emotion, "Though we have crossed paths briefly on many occasions, I believe this is the first time I have attempted to communicate and converse with you."
"Both as a human and as the only remaining dragonslayer, as much as I desire to slay you, I am just as eager to die by your claws."
"It was meant to be a destiny, and I gladly accept it no matter how it ends."
Mu Hang's eyes narrowed, and a hint of icy hostility was brought to his expression:
"But now, I believe you have taken a friend who is very important to me."
Shi An, Dragonborn and important friend of Mu Hang: "......"
What's that?
