After staying in Johannesburg for a few months, Zhang Lisheng already had a very good understanding of South Africa's military strength. He knew that due to Africa's absolute lagging position among the five continents in the world, this country with the strongest military strength in Africa could only barely be considered as a third-rate country in the global military strength ranking.
Especially after the social peaceful reform in the 1990s, when the regime fell from the hands of the white people to the hands of the black people, the South African army that was originally composed entirely of white people was completely replaced by a pure black army. High-tech arms such as the air force and the navy were almost reduced to decorations. Until today, after 30 years of hard work, they had only barely recovered to their original state.
In other words, the South African air force was very weak. It was impossible for the South African air force to intercept the self-propelled missiles launched by the supernatural realm's people. When Zhang Lisheng figured this out, he could not help but secretly curse his bad luck.
He sighed. "Consultant Zheng, your inference is correct. In this case, it looks like our situation is indeed very …"
Without warning, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, covering the young man's voice. Then, raindrops the size of beans began to fall, making one's head feel cold.
Gradually, the raindrops became heavier and heavier. Not long after, a storm began to pour down with a pitter-patter.
"The supernatural realm has launched a general attack, so the rear must be empty. It's a good opportunity for us to sneak in." Upon seeing that the heavy rain was about to extinguish the last bit of morale of the team, Captain Hu suddenly wiped the rain on his face and shouted, "The door to the supernatural realm must be near their base!
We'll move to a safe place with Director Liang first and then we can locate it through the satellite reconnaissance map … "
"Satellite reconnaissance map? That's right! The army of the supernatural realm's people passing through the supernatural realm's door will definitely be captured by the satellite. We can avoid them!" Zhang Lisheng's eyes lit up.
"But we don't have an instrument that can intercept military satellite signals right now," Director Liang, who had almost zero combat power in the team, felt that he had unfortunately walked into a fantasy movie, said with a gloomy expression, "I estimate that we're still at least more than 100 kilometers away from the camp of the survey team that we planned to settle down. It'll take at least two days and two nights if we walk by foot."
Upon hearing Director Liang telling the truth, the team fell into a dead silence.
"Looks like we can only pray for our own good then." Zhang Lisheng pondered whether it was safer to walk blindly with the team or to take the risk and fly back to Johannes once and for all, he suddenly smiled.
Then, a slender snake shadow appeared on his clothes that was soaked in rainwater. The tiny snake shadow grew in the wind and grew in the water. A few seconds later, it turned into a green flood dragon that was more than ten meters long and as thick as a bucket. It circled around the young man in the air.
Upon seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Even Consultant Zheng was stunned. After all, the word 'dragon' had an extraordinary meaning to the Chinese since ancient times.
"Dragon! Dragon! You! You! My great ancestor! Using a dragon as a phoenix! This is our witchcraft's ability to use a dragon as a phoenix!
So it's true! It's true! It's not the 'Dao Vein' passed down by my ancestor! It's just that I'm not lucky enough! Now that I've seen the truth, it's worth it even if I die! Hahaha … "Amidst the pouring rain, Old Man Xu suddenly threw his head back and laughed like a madman.
"Uncle, you're not going to die today!" Zhang Lisheng, who was three meters tall after his transformation, grabbed the old man and threw him onto the wyrmdragon's back. Looking at Zheng Gu, he asked, "How about riding the dragon today, Grand Wizard?"
"Young man, you can't get rid of me. I've eaten the country's salary for several years, so I can't just walk away when things have come to a head."
"This is a military-level … Forget it, since you dare to stay, you must have the confidence to save your life with your omniscient power. If that's the case, I'll take my leave …" When Zhang Lisheng was about to ride on the wyrmdragon and command the wizard gu to leave, Director Liang, whose expression had been changing for a long time, suddenly stopped him and said, "Friend, bring me away too. I'm just an ordinary person, so I'll definitely die if I stay here.
If you bring me away, I'll definitely repay you. I dare not give you any empty promises, but I still have one or two million cash. "
"I-I don't want to stay here either. Bring me away, please! I only need a small place on such a huge green dragon …"
"I want to go too! I'm very tired already! Please, save a life and let me go to the seven-storied pagoda …"
When they saw that someone was the first to beg to leave, not to mention that this person was Director Liang who was talking to Captain Hu on an equal footing, several young girls who also begged Zhang Lisheng to bring them away immediately ran out from the team.
"It's not that I can't bring all of you away since it's convenient, but other than Uncle Xu, I'll just let the rest of you ride on the wyrmdragon and perish on your own. The wind in the air is so strong that it can destroy your flesh and bones, so all of you must think about this carefully."
Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's expressionless words, those who were begging him became dumbfounded, not knowing how to decide at once.
"Young man, we're all from the same Gate of Witchcraft and they're just little girls, so why do you have to scare them? A dragon can summon rain and withstand the wind. Even though this one of yours is still a wyrmdragon, it's impossible for you to be blown by the wind on its back.
How about this? I'll give you a True Rubbing Book that can allow you to completely master the transformation power as a reward and you can bring everyone in the team who wants to leave and retreat to a safe place. What do you think? " Consultant Zheng saw through Zhang Lisheng's evasions and commanded a living corpse to walk to his side. Reaching out, he abruptly tapped on the living corpse.
In an instant, the flesh and blood of the living corpse dissipated and the bones twisted and connected with each other with a cracking sound, transforming into a bamboo-like bone book.
"Actually, in such a situation, it's impossible to guarantee complete safety whether it's in the air or on land. Otherwise, I would have long left quietly.
Besides, the more people I bring, the bigger the target I'll be … "Zhang Lisheng muttered and picked up the bone book from the rain briskly. After opening it to take a look, his eyes lit up and he immediately added," However, since it's your request, Consultant Zheng, of course, I'll do it. "
Upon seeing the sudden change in the young man's attitude, Consultant Zheng nodded with a chuckle and turned to look at Captain Hu, whose face had already turned pale but was forcing herself to remain calm, before saying, "Captain Hu, our team is not originally formed for fighting. Now that we don't have any excess, it's inevitable that we'll fall apart when we fall into such a dangerous situation.
We can't force such a thing so we might as well let nature take its course.
Don't worry, as long as I stay, we'll have a complete chance to succeed in the mission. Even though we're sent as a miscellaneous army, I, Zheng Heyun, am already so old, so I still have to fight for my own dignity. "
Now that it had come to this, Captain Hu knew that she could no longer force it. For the first time, her gaze was filled with respect as she nodded at Consultant Zheng. Then, she glared at Director Liang, who was standing in the rain with his head lowered as though he was dead, before waving her hand forcefully. "If you're afraid, just leave if you want. No one's going to make you stay. The country has no shortage of cowards like you."
In the furious rebuke of the leader, about half of the people in the team slowly moved their feet and walked towards wyrmdragon in a daze while the other half chose to stay.
When Zhang Lisheng saw that the team was divided into two distinct halves, he did not say anything and merely made the wyrmdragon bigger again. Then, he commanded the wizard gu to crouch on the ground and rode on the dragon's head.
By the time all of the people who chose to leave also rode on the wyrmdragon, he cupped his hands and performed an ancient salute to Consultant Zheng. Then, he commanded the wizard gu to transform into countless thick clouds that soared up to the sky and went straight up to the sky.
"This is my witchcraft seed as well …" Looking at the wyrmdragon soaring into the sky, Consultant Zheng suddenly chuckled, appearing to be extremely joyful.
At the same time when the Grand Wizard was laughing heartily, Zhang Lisheng had already rode on the wyrmdragon and blended into the dark clouds.
Even though the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning in the sky were all blocked by the omniscient power of the wizard gu outside the clouds, the deafening roar and the dazzling lightning still caused everyone to shudder, causing them to almost faint.
If it was not for the great friction of the scales on the wyrmdragon's back that seemed to be coated with a layer of glue, some of them would have long fallen from the sky.
When the others were dying of sadness, Zhang Lisheng, who had transformed into a brilliant giant, faced the thunder and lightning and broke through the dark clouds as he commanded the wizard gu to move forward along the road on the ground with full vigilance.
The power of the supernatural realm's huge self-propelled rotating missile was truly terrifying, so he could not help but be careful.
Fortunately, it seemed that all of his bad luck had dissipated last night. Even though he could see the raging fire that even the heavy rain could not extinguish in the distance from time to time, and some sudden explosions that were so strong that they could even cover the sound of thunder, the wyrmdragon soaring in the sky did not encounter any danger at all. Gradually, it left the fire and explosions far behind it.
After riding on the wyrmdragon for a long time, when dawn was finally breaking and the first ray of sunlight appeared on the distant horizon, Zhang Lisheng saw the outline of the huge city of Johannesburg appearing in his eyes.
Looking at this African city that he already felt very familiar with, the young man breathed a long sigh of relief and commanded the wizard gu to land on the ground.
The wyrmdragon landed and turned into a small four-legged green snake that circled around Zhang Lisheng with clouds. At the same time, the young man had also shrunk his body back to its normal size.
After that, he randomly chose a young wizard who was about the same size as him and had collapsed into a ball from exhaustion after a night of arduous flying. He took off his coat and shoes and put them on. "Johannesburg City is at most a dozen kilometers away. No matter how powerful the otherworldly beings are, it's impossible for them to attack from Cape Town to Johannesburg overnight. It's absolutely safe here.
I've fulfilled both of my promises now. Uncle Xu, goodbye, everyone. "
"D-Don't go yet, boy! You have great omniscient power! Help me to the end and help me to the end …" Old Man Xu panted heavily and begged loudly.
"Uncle, Director Liang is much more useful than an employee like me when we're here. Just because you guys woke him up doesn't mean that you can go wherever you want him to send you." Zhang Lisheng waved his hand without turning his head back and laughed out loud as he gradually walked away.
Upon hearing the young man's reminder, everyone could not help but focus their attention on Director Liang who was foaming at the mouth and fainted in the field. Their eyes gradually lit up.
