Zhou Wen immediately activated his Lotus Flower Buddha Body. At the same time, he spread out the silver wings on his back and instantly retreated more than ten meters. His left hand, which was wrapped in the lotus bracer, shattered the large piece of reinforced concrete that smashed at him.
Boom!
Amidst the flying debris and dust, Zhou Wen saw a gigantic green-scaled snake fall from the hole in the roof. It smashed the bookshelves in the library to smithereens, sending wood and paper flying everywhere. A huge crater was left in the ground.
Large amounts of debris smashed into Zhou Wen, but thankfully, he had already activated his Lotus Flower Buddha Body. The flying debris didn't cause any damage to his body.
The green-scaled snake was extremely large. It was more than a hundred meters long and as thick as a water tank. On its back was a pair of gigantic wing-like fins.
The students in the library dodged as they screamed and ran out of the library. Although Zhou Wen didn't know what was happening, he knew that he couldn't stay here for long. Just as he was about to escape to the library like the other students, he saw the gigantic snake open its mouth in a bid to devour a student beside it.
The student was too close to the spot where the snake had landed. His calf was penetrated by a flying piece of metal as his body was pinned to the ground. He was momentarily unable to escape, nor could he escape.
Zhou Wen took a look and realized that the student was Fang Ruoxi. With a thought, the Silver-Winged Flying Ant immediately separated from his body and transformed into a silver stream of light. Before the snake could devour Fang Ruoxi, it pulled her out.
The Silver-Winged Flying Ant carried the injured Fang Ruoxi with its claws and flew back to Zhou Wen's side. The enraged snake raised its neck and opened its mouth to pounce over.
Zhou Wen was already planning on escaping when he suddenly heard a series of gunshots. He saw a large number of soldiers jump down from the hole. They held submachine guns in their hands as they fired at the snake ferociously.
Typical firearms, much less bullets, even nuclear bombs would have limited damage to dimensional creatures. It might even stimulate the dimensional creatures to mutate.
However, when the soldiers' bullets hit the snake's body, they pierced through its scales, leaving bloody holes in its body. The snake screamed in pain as it twisted its body in a bid to escape.
However, it was too late to escape now. The soldiers fired at it, and in just a few seconds, the ferocious giant snake was turned into a hornet's nest. The snake's blood was everywhere.
A young officer rushed over and sized him up as he asked anxiously, "Young Master Wen, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Zhou Wen recognized the officer. It was An Tianzuo's adjutant, Ah Sheng.
"It's good that you're fine. Young Master Wen, you can head back first. There are still some things that need to be dealt with here." Ah Sheng called two soldiers over and got them to escort Zhou Wen and Fang Ruoxi out of the library.
Fang Ruoxi's calf was injured, and the steel centipede was still lodged in it. Thankfully, the injury wasn't serious. Just as the two of them left the library, the school's medical team rushed over. A doctor treated Fang Ruoxi.
"Thank you, Zhou Wen. You risked your life to save me after what I did to you in the past." She had always been brooding over the fact that she hadn't been able to team up with Zhou Wen for the college entrance exam.
"It's nothing. It's not considered a risk. If it were any other student, I would have saved them too. You don't have to think too much about it," Zhou Wen said as he turned to leave.
The middle-aged female doctor who was treating Fang Ruoxi's wound nearly laughed out loud when she heard Zhou Wen say that. Seeing Fang Ruoxi's disappointed expression, she said to her, "Young lady, it's fine if you don't want such a man who relies on his strength to stay single. It'll save you from being angered to death by him in the future."
Fang Ruoxi blushed. "We're just ordinary classmates. Don't think too much about it."
What happened in the library caused quite a commotion in the academy. The students were all discussing this matter.
The school quickly gave an official explanation. It was said that a criminal had escaped with a Companion Beast and mistakenly entered the school under the pursuit of the military. The criminal and the Companion Beast had been killed on the spot by the military.
Zhou Wen had seen the giant snake with his own eyes, but he felt that it didn't look like a Companion Beast with an owner. It was more like a wild dimensional creature.
Zhou Wen originally felt that it was impossible. After all, it was impossible for wild dimensional creatures to leave dimensional zones. However, when he thought of the antelope in his dorm, Zhou Wen felt that it wasn't impossible.
If all dimensional creatures can rush out of dimensional zones, what will the human world become? Zhou Wen couldn't help but shiver when he thought of this possibility.
The number of human experts had been constantly increasing in the past few decades. Epic experts were no longer rare, but compared to dimensional creatures, they were still far inferior.
Ignoring everything else, just the three-faced Buddha of Small Buddha Temple and the expert who hadn't even shown his face at Mount Laojun were probably difficult to find a match among humans.
There were many other places like this on Earth.
If there really comes a day when dimensional creatures rush out of dimensional zones, it will probably be the end of the world for humans. I have to have sufficient strength to survive. Zhou Wen felt that that day wasn't unreachable. The appearance of the antelope and the giant snake intensified his sense of danger.
"I still need more power." Zhou Wen was even more eager to raise his strength. At the very least, he needed the capital to survive the disaster.
After returning to his dorm, Zhou Wen planned on taking a shower and changing his clothes that were covered in dust and torn. Then, he would take a shower before continuing gaming.
However, when he took off his clothes, he realized that there was an egg-sized conch shell stuck to the inside of his clothes.
The conch shell was colorful and beautiful. Zhou Wen casually plucked it off and was about to throw it away, but when he held it in his hand, he was slightly taken aback.
The conch shell was filled with blue seawater. Even though the opening of the conch shell was facing downwards, the seawater inside didn't stir at all. Not even a drop of seawater flowed out.
Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised when he suddenly saw waves in the seawater. Ripples spread out as something slowly floated up in the middle of the seawater.
Zhou Wen was alarmed as he quickly threw away the conch shell. At the same time, he summoned his Companion Beast to fuse with him and prepared for battle.
The conch shell that Zhou Wen had thrown away floated in midair. Amidst the rippling seawater, a petite and beautiful figure emerged.
It was a creature with a human body and a fish tail. She looked like a legendary mermaid. She had a head of golden curly hair, but her ears looked like fins. Her eyes were blue like the sea, and she seemed to have an indescribable charm.
