Chapter 185: A Sudden Riot
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gentle spiritual power wrapped Lin Bai and Little Black’s bodies, one after another, like silk from a spring silkworm. They were wrapped into huge cocoons. The spiritual power was like a trickle of water, washing through every inch of their meridians. Lin Bai’s face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Lin Bai’s body also removed something that looked like a stain. Looking closely, those stains looked like black gas. After being forced out by the spiritual power, they floated on the surface of his body.
It seemed that they could not stay in the air for long. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ashes and did not exist at all. Lin Bai touched it, and these black marks appeared on his hand. Then, they disappeared like water.
“What exactly is this thing...”
Lin Bai had tried all kinds of methods to collect them, trying to figure out where they came from, but unfortunately, he could not collect them at all.
And these substances were still being washed away by the spiritual energy, constantly being expelled. He had actually absorbed so much without realizing it. He must have gotten it from fighting those two creatures underground. Unsurprisingly, it was probably in the bodies of those two creatures who were also the main culprit that caused his miasma.
Little Black’s condition had almost recovered. The scabs on its body had peeled off. Although there were some black substances that had also been expelled, it was less than Lin Bai’s. Presumably, it was because of its strong defense. It did not face the two creatures head-on.
After circulating the spiritual energy for a few cycles, Lin Bai had almost recovered. However, he still had some internal injuries. He thought that he would be able to rest for a few days. This time, he had indeed let down his guard.
“Not only is there such a large secret passage under the City Lord’s Estate, there were even such ferocious creatures. They probably weren’t kept by anyone.”
Lin Bai first ruled out that the two creatures were kept by humans. After all, they were too ferocious. Other than slaughter and bloodlust, there was nothing else in those beasts’ minds. How could such creatures listen to the commands of others?
“Looks like I have to find an opportunity to take another look. Perhaps they are the source of the City Lord’s strange illness.”
However, he still had many doubts in his heart. Since these creatures were so ferocious, were there any other creatures of the same species? Why didn’t the City Lord Estate directly wipe them out? Instead, they sealed them underground. This was too dangerous.
If these creatures broke through the shackles and escaped, wouldn’t the people above suffer.
Just as Lin Bai was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from not far away. He quickly restored everything in the room to its original state and let Little Black return to the pet dimension.
“Dong Dong Dong –”
After all that, there was a knock on the door. He pretended to be sleepy and opened the door. It was Chen Yan who was standing at the door.
“What’s the matter so late at night?”
Chen Yan’s expression was a little solemn as if something big had happened. He did not have the time to explain in detail and only instructed,
“Nothing much. Something has happened in the City Lord’s Estate. Don’t run around. No matter what you hear, just stay in your room quietly. Someone will come and take care of it.”
After saying this, he left hurriedly as if he had more important things to do. Lin Bai looked at his back and the brightly lit scene not far away.
In the darkness of the night, the originally quiet City Lord’s Estate seemed to have been broken by something. It was as if the boiling water had become boiling hot. Lin Bai knew very well that these changes were probably caused by him just now.
It seemed that many people would not be able to sleep that night. As the main culprit, Lin Bai felt a little guilty in his heart. Then, he quickly threw it out of his mind and immediately fell asleep.
...
On the other side, Yan Hua, the other elders, and Ren Zeyuan also rushed to the underground building.
“What’s going on? We were still fine when we left just now, but now, there’s suddenly a riot.”
The black gas seemed to have been stimulated by something and rampaged around the cave. Only the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking could be heard, and many pieces of gravel fell to the ground.
Yan Hua expressed that he didn’t understand either. “Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be so fast until the next outbreak of the City Lord. It seems like it was suddenly stimulated.”
“Then what should we do now? The medicinal pills that are used for suppression for the next time haven’t been refined yet. This riot is simply deadly.”
“Boom!”
Before they could think of a countermeasure, another loud noise sounded. It felt like there was some kind of behemoth moving crazily, trying to escape from this underground cage.
This time, even Yan Hua, Ren Zeyuan, and the others couldn’t stand steadily. It was as if the cave was going to collapse in the next second.
A huge array appeared under their feet. The originally bright white light became a little dim. This array had no boundaries. It was so wide that it seemed to encompass the entire underground building.
There were complicated and mysterious patterns drawn on the array. The deeper they went into the cave, the more complicated the patterns became. Countless scriptures and talismans covered the walls, but they seemed to come from the ancient times. They looked obscure and difficult to understand. No one knew what they meant.
However, one thing was clear. Judging from such a large scale operation, someone had set up layers of obstacles to trap the creatures inside.
However, these patterns became intermittent under the riot. Because of the falling stones and the collapse of the karst cave, even the patterns were damaged. In addition, due to the passage of time, the seal was no longer as effective as the beginning.
The wrinkles between Yan Hua’s eyebrows were enough to kill a mosquito. “We can’t let the City Lord continue to make a rampage like this.” From what he said, it seemed that this sudden riot had something to do with the city lord.
“Otherwise, if he continue to rampage, I’m afraid the seal will loosen again. The array formation here is not stable to begin with. If this continues, I’m afraid that the thing underground will also come out.. At that time, I’m afraid that even an immortal won’t be able to do anything.”
