In the sky.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
However, Dragon City was ablaze with lights on the ground.
At this moment, the ten thousand members were all on standby except for the children who couldn't stand it any longer. None of them were sleeping.
Hum!
When the Celestial Globe on the Dragon Peak showed that it was midnight on the track …
All of a sudden, the fog on the surface of the sea around the Dragon City settlement surged violently. Then, mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers that were dark because of the light appeared.
Then, the whole space seemed to be shrinking and quickly joined with Dragon City as the center.
If the new players were shocked when Dragon City changed the world with the permission to rest and reorganize, they would be shocked when they saw the mountains and the land combined.
Pop! Crackle!
The drastic changes in the environment even caused an extreme reaction in the sky.
The moon was gone, the clouds were surging, and a storm began to pour down on Dragon City.
"Freeze!"
However, as Li Chunfeng moved the orbit of the Celestial Globe on the observatory from the top of the Dragon Peak …
The entire Dragon City and even the area around it had stopped, and a semi-illusionary sun had appeared in the sky.
That was exactly one of the abilities of the Transcendent heavy treasure, which was to change the weather of Dragon City.
Because of the sun, it was almost daytime in Dragon City, which meant that Dragon City wouldn't have to worry about night battles anymore.
"Master Ji, the ground in the southwest is moving in a regular pattern. Several creatures are approaching quickly!"
At the same time, the voice of Yi He, who was guarding the Seismograph, suddenly came in the communication channel.
Just like the Celestial Globe, the Seismograph could monitor the earthquake in a certain range around Dragon City.
"Something's wrong in the sky to the west too!"
Li Chunfeng, who had frozen the storm in the sky, also sensed the creatures approaching through the Celestial Globe.
"Is that the sound of hooves?"
With the enhanced senses of True Seer, which had reached Greater Mastery, he listened carefully and heard a sound himself.
It sounded like the sound of hooves, and there was more than one horse.
But he couldn't be sure. Maybe it was another creature with hooves, because the environment outside of Dragon City was still affected by the storm.
Even he couldn't tell them apart.
"Ah! Save me! "
But soon, a sound that was very different from the sound of the wind and rain around them rang out.
It was a human voice, and it was a cry for help!
"Commander Dian, let's go together!"
Ji Ye's expression changed. A cloud of white Dragon Aura rose from his feet and lifted him and Dian Wei, who was wearing Soft Golden Armor that only covered the important parts and holding a pair of spears that were glittering with lightning, to fly toward the source of the sound!
Thud, thud, thud …
At the same time, at the edge of the Dragon City settlement area.
There was a person riding a purplish-red horse galloping at full speed. He wore very simple leather armor and was also carrying standard weapons such as crossbows and daggers. There was a piece of yellow cloth tied to his forehead.
At this time, the yellow forehead cloth was completely wet.
It was partly because of the rain, but also because he was sweating profusely out of fear!
"Sou, sou!"
Because, behind him, there were two creatures chasing after him.
They looked like human beings, but they were smaller than regular human beings. They were only about 1.5 meters tall, and their bodies were thinner.
Its face was green, and its large nostrils were turned outwards. It had a pair of fangs that pointed upwards, and its red ears were pointed upwards. Its triangular eyes emitted a green light, and it gave off a cruel and bloodthirsty aura. Its legs left afterimages as it ran on the ground, and its speed was not inferior to that of a four-legged warhorse.
In particular, because of the rain, the road quickly became muddy.
As a result, the purplish-red horse slowed down, and the distance between them was shortened. The human on the horse became more and more panicked.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
He whipped the horse's rump, which was still bleeding because of the rain, hard, trying to speed up the horse that was already panting and foaming at the mouth.
It was obvious that this chase had been going on for quite some time.
"Help …"
The human's panic was alleviated after he entered the Dragon City area.
It was because he had already seen Ji Ye and Dian Wei flying close on Dragon Aura in an environment that was as bright as day.
With a look of relief on his face, he cried for help.
"Ha … Ha!"
Not just him, the two humanoid monsters that were chasing after the red horse also noticed Ji Ye and Dian Wei in the sky.
Then, they looked at each other. Their triangular eyes glowed with green light, and they both sped up. In only a few seconds, they caught up to the horse that was foaming and bleeding.
Pew!
A skinny monster nimbly burrowed under the horse's belly. Its claws were enveloped in a layer of dim green light, and it actually cut open the purplish-red horse's belly from below.
The horse's heart, which was beating violently because of the high speed, was snatched out. The horse lost all its strength and fell to the muddy ground, crying miserably.
"Ha!"
The other monster's eyes were glowing with green light. It fell off the warhorse and rolled on the ground for a few meters. Its legs were in an unnatural state and it was wearing a muddy yellow scarf on its head. It was the human who had fallen from the warhorse and rolled on the ground for a few meters.
The human scout who had fallen from the galloping horse had obviously broken more than one bone. It was impossible for him to continue running or dodging now that his legs were broken.
Faced with the green-eyed, tusked monster that was lunging at him, he could only raise his crossbow and shoot an arrow at the monster's head!
Whoosh!
However, the humanoid creatures that could catch up to the horse were obviously extremely agile.
They were able to dodge the arrow at such a close distance while they were charging at a high speed. They simply dodged the arrow that was aimed at their head.
Then, their claws that were covered in green light scratched the chest of the human who had a yellow cloth tied to his forehead.
That purplish-red horse had clearly foreseen what would happen if it was hit by those claws …
Therefore, the pupils of the human's eyes were filled with the fear of impending death.
However, the next moment, several intertwining golden sword auras that were as brilliant as the sun in the sky of Dragon City appeared in their pupils!
Pew, pew, pew …
The moment the claws of the humanoid creature were about to touch the chest of the human wearing a yellow cloth, the green light disappeared, and the claws were cut off at the elbow. Not just the claws, but its arms, legs, and even its hideous head also slid off its neck and fell to the ground.
Green blood spurted out of the neck that was missing its head, and some of it even splashed into the mouth of the human wearing a yellow cloth, whose mouth was wide open because of fear.
["You have killed a Land Yaksha (Extraordinary Rank-3, Elite). EXP gained: 448. Honor gained: 15!"]
"A yaksha?"
A yellow light flashed, dispersing the dragon cloud that was relatively slow. Ji Ye, who had arrived on the ground with Distance Reduction, sensed the kill notification in his head and was intrigued.
Yaksha wasn't a strange term to Earthlings.
Just like Garuda and Dragon, the original form of the Golden-Winged Roc, it was one of the Eight Tribes in ancient Buddhist legends!
Apart from Buddhism, many other ancient books had records of yakshas as well.
For example, Ji Xiaolan's Notes from Yuewei Cottage mentioned a sea yaksha. In Investiture of the Gods, Nezha killed a patrolling yaksha under the command of the Sea Dragon King Ao Guang when he was taking a bath.
In Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, there was a special chapter about yakshas. It was about a man whose surname was Xu, who went to sea to do business. He was abducted by a female yaksha and forced to copulate with her. Then, he gave birth to a hybrid child and returned to human society to build a career for his country.
Apart from that, Sun Erniang, who was one of the leaders of the Twin Dragon Mount fort in Water Margin, was nicknamed "Female Yaksha".
It was said that yakshas were evil ghosts.
The males were thin and ugly, and the females were tall and beautiful. They liked to eat humans and animals alive!
"Roar!"
Seeing that its companion was suddenly beheaded and torn apart, the other yaksha was stunned.
The other yaksha, which had just dug out the heart of a maroon horse that was still beating violently and stuffed it into the mouth of the green-faced fanged beast, seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Then, its eyes shone brightly. It roared at Ji Ye and pounced at him at high speed.
Whoosh!
However, before it could get close to Ji Ye, the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword had already swept past its neck in a black streak.
Pew!
As a result, when the head of the yaksha flew into the sky, the lower half of its body was still on the ground for some distance before it fell into the mud in front of Ji Ye.
["You have killed an Earth Yaksha (Extraordinary Rank-4, Common). EXP gained: 288. Honor gained: 8!"]
Two Extraordinary aliens, who were only mentioned in ancient texts, chased a human to Dragon City.
What did that mean?
Wait, that wasn't right.
There weren't just two of them!
"There should be three of them!"
Dragon Aura appeared under his feet again. Ji Ye floated in the air for a while and looked at where the two yakshas had come from.
About half a kilometer away, another yellow horse was lying on the ground, and the stomach of a soldier who also had a yellow cloth on his forehead had been cut open. There was a green-faced yaksha with a pair of silver wings on its back. It was taller than the two land yakshas and was as tall as a human. It had upturned fangs, and blood could be seen at the corner of its mouth after a feast.
"Ha …"
It seemed to have keenly sensed Ji Ye's gaze.
The silver-winged yaksha suddenly turned around and looked at Ji Ye, who was standing on the ground and surrounded by Dragon Aura!
Compared to the two land yakshas on the ground that had been beheaded, this one with a pair of silver wings was clearly much stronger.
However, after meeting Ji Ye's eyes, the expression on its bloodthirsty face quickly turned into one of shock and fear.
Then, without hesitation, a layer of silver light appeared on its wings, and it flew away.
