Zhang Xiaohou still had a mission to complete, so it was not convenient for him to stay here any longer. Thus, he asked Captain Tian to return to the team and continue forward.
The wyvern flapped its wings and rose into the sky.
Wyverns usually flew at an altitude of over 10,000 metres, reaching the level of many airlines. However, not all creatures could withstand the cold of 10,000 metres.
Just as they were about to soar through the clouds, Zhang Xiaohou glanced at the ground worriedly.
With the clouds blocking his view, Zhang Xiaohou could only see half of the county town.
The buildings that were as small as building blocks were grey in color. Due to the open terrain, they were scattered around a gentle mountain. That should be the county town area, so there would be more buildings there compared to the ones by the sea.
However, just as they were about to be completely blocked by the clouds, Zhang Xiaohou saw that the buildings were inexplicably covered by grey clouds.
The sky was silent as the strange phenomenon occurred on the ground. Zhang Xiaohou once again thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Fly down!"
Zhang Xiaohou suddenly ordered.
The other officers did not know what was going on. They only saw Zhang Xiaohou pulling on the wyvern's rope and driving the mighty wyvern down!
The wyvern's wings were not folded as it swooped down. Instead, they were folded towards its tail, causing its head and body to form a special diving posture. Two streams of air could be seen on both sides of the wyvern's wings. It did not take long for it to dive below the clouds.
The others quickly followed and swooped down to the ground. However, the Eagle Chiron's speed could not be compared to the wyvern's and it was left far behind.
…
The ground gradually became clear. They could see intersecting roads, large patches of plantation land, wetlands, and the panicked figures of people running around.
However, the most chilling thing was that the buildings that were originally densely packed had all disappeared!
It was as though some god, Eri, had razed all the earthen buildings to the ground. Countless dust clouds covered the county town. Tens of thousands of people stood on the streets and in the ruins, looking around like they had not woken up from a nightmare. They could not believe it and were even more terrified!
Not a single building was left, not even the one-storey buildings.
Even the most powerful earthquake would not be able to turn all the buildings into dust in an instant. Most importantly, an earthquake would cause the ground to tremble violently, causing cracks to appear on the ground …
However, the ground was still intact, not damaged at all.
Just like that, the buildings of a county town collapsed in such a bizarre and horrifying manner!!!
Zhang Xiaohu couldn't believe his eyes.
To be able to create such a terrifying scene, one had to be extremely powerful. Even a Great Monarch rank creature would not be able to do it so cleanly and silently.
However, Zhang Xiaohou searched the entire "bare" county and found nothing.
There was no aura of a powerful demon, nor were there any traces of a powerful demon. The county town disappeared just like that, and the people who lived here were unharmed.
Some of the residents lived in high-rise buildings, but when the buildings collapsed, they turned into soft sand. Even if people fell down, they would not be in danger …
"What … What's going on here? Could it be that the Dragon King is really enraged?" Hua Yuezhu said after a long pause.
Hua Yuezhu thought of the Bohai Sea Dragon King. How could the residents who had lived here for a long time not realize this?
Soon, the residents who had survived the disaster knelt down on the streets, facing the sea. It was hard to tell if they had lost their minds due to the fear of the unknown, or if they were sincerely grateful to the Dragon King for sparing their lives. Many people began to kowtow, and the scene could barely be described as spectacular!
…
Now that the cameras were fully open, the shocking scene in Luning County was quickly spread on the Internet.
There were no traces of demon creatures, nor did it seem like the actions of a Magician. It was clearly the work of a god. As such, the rumors of the Bohai Sea Dragon King became even more popular!
Zhang Xiaohou left Luning County.
Without the presence of demon creatures, what could he do? He had no idea how to explain the phenomenon.
However, Zhang Xiaohou could sense a strange atmosphere looming over Qinghuangdao …
Where were the people who were weaker than the houses that had been destroyed in an instant? Was it really a warning from the Bohai Sea Dragon King? What kind of divine wrath would it commit next time?
They arrived at Qinghuangdao.
Zhang Xiaohou still had a heavy heart. For some reason, he had a feeling that the mission he was about to carry out was related to the legend of the Dragon King's Wrath.
…
Beidaihe District …
Perhaps it was because of what had just happened that shocked the whole country. Originally, this place was a scenic spot, but now, there were not many people who had the leisure to walk around the sea view.
A middle-aged man with a black beard wearing a military brown windbreaker slowly walked along the scenic road. The sea breeze brushed against his black beard.
"I've heard about the incident in Beijiang. You've done well." The black bearded man said.
"Army Chief, is the incident in Luning County related to this mission?" Zhang Xiaohou could not help but ask.
"You're very sharp. The divine wrath of the Dragon King, hehe. Humans are always willing to believe in those supernatural things." The black bearded man sighed, "Xiao Hou, what do you think?"
"It's an extremely terrifying thing. The city is the foundation of our human race. The safe zone relies on relay stations, sentries, forts, and fortresses. The naval war zone relies on the sea towers. The coastline needs to be protected by the sea dikes. Otherwise, the sea monsters can come and go as they please. If there's something, it can turn them all into ashes in an instant. The place where we live will become a hunting ground for the sea monsters and demons. "Zhang Xiaohou said seriously.
"It seems like you have a better sense of crisis than some old generals." The black bearded man showed a rare smile.
The two continued to walk forward and were about to reach the sea plank road.
The black-bearded man suddenly stopped and pointed at the sea and all the islands that could be seen in the distance from where they were.
"How far can you see?" The black bearded man asked.
"A few dozen kilometers."
"What you can see now, and what you can't see further away, is the 'Dragon King Culprit' that destroyed Luning County. These things have always existed in our territorial waters. They're trying to destroy all the fortifications, buildings, and dams along our 20,000-kilometer coastline. The Bohai Sea is their nest. They'll breed here, grow stronger, and then invade the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea! "
The black bearded man's words were heavy and powerful, and even carried a bit of anger!
Zhang Xiaohou could feel the spirit of this army chief. The torrential waves were unexpectedly reversed, and the endless seawater inexplicably receded!
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohou to ask, the black bearded man opened his mouth again.
"From now on, the ancient clock in Shanhai Pass will enter the countdown."
Zhang Xiaohou was even more puzzled. He could not help but look at Shanhai Pass. On top of a valley, there was an ancient clock, magnificent and solemn!
"Army Chief, what are we going to do?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
