west Pacific.
Along the coast of Laoag.
This is a beach with a harsh environment and steep terrain. The beach, which may be flooded by the tide at any time, is covered with huge rocks. A cliff with an almost 90-degree angle blocks the mountain and the sea. On one side is the dark ocean, and on the other side is the green forest.
This small island country has a sparse population and basically no tourism industry. If it were a beach with beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, there might be some tourists, but here there are no man-made facilities as far as the eye can see, and it is unlikely that anyone will set foot here for months or half a year.
Wow!
The sea water was turbulent, and the waves pushed and hit the irregular reefs.
As night fell, the rising tide poured into the dark and damp caves on the cliffs.
The cave is extremely deep and dark, so dark that you can't even see your hand in front of you. If you stay in there for too long, you'll probably doubt the reality of your own existence.
But as we went deeper and deeper, we saw more tiny sparks in the air, like flying fireflies, illuminating the dry rock walls.
These are the fire elements that are ignited.
At the deepest point, countless spider-silk-like substances are spread throughout the suddenly bright cave. They are intricately intertwined, overlapping and clinging to form a strange and mysterious landscape.
The silk threads are thick and thin, curved and straight, independent and entangled. At first glance, they look like bronze-textured metal, but if you look at them a few more times, you will find that there are dark red particles flowing in the silk threads, which are between hard and soft.
All the threads have a starting point, which is the crimson cocoon located in the center of the cave.
Boom~boom~
Every time the cocoon beats, red particles burst out. At this time, the silk threads transport them to the rocks, oceans, mountains, and earth in all directions like thousands of blood vessels, transforming the surrounding environment into a field suitable for itself, while drawing the necessary elemental power from nature.
The current cocoon is only the size of an ordinary car. After all, Chu Xin has only just started to form a cocoon, and it is unknown how long it will take to break out of the cocoon.
……
Three months later.
"I'm Jenny, a CBN reporter reporting the latest news from the West Coast. As you can see, the weather is very bad! Oh my God, let's stay away from the coast. We were almost swept away by a wave!"
"Half a month ago, the climate in the western and northern coastal areas suddenly became abnormal. Not only was the temperature 10 degrees Celsius higher than the average in previous years, but there were also natural disasters such as tsunamis, typhoons, and extreme thunderstorms. Currently, it has caused considerable losses to coastal residents! Because of the strong winds and heavy rains, fishermen dare not go out to sea~ This is the police officer in charge of relevant matters. Please explain the latest situation to the viewers in front of the TV!"
"I'm sorry he refused the interview. Apparently everyone is very busy. Did you see the sweat on my forehead? My clothes are completely soaked. It's not the rain, but my sweat. It's too hot here! I don't understand. It's thundering and raining, but the temperature is strangely high?"
"Wow, the police officer just now saved a shivering kitten in the storm. Thank God, he is a kind man."
"Okay, let's get back to the point. Just three days ago, the National Geological Bureau observed an underwater volcano that was about to erupt. I think everyone is as concerned as I am about whether it will erupt. Now let Professor Carl explain it to us~"
Boom!
There was a violent storm with thunder and lightning.
The sea was rough, and the dark water was rippling with hair-raising ripples. It seemed as if a pair of hands were gently stirring the water underwater, giving a sense of urgency as if the end of the world was approaching.
A coastal town was reduced to ruins by tsunamis and typhoons. Due to multiple factors, the rescue was very slow. Normally, the refugees should receive relief supplies wrapped in bedding and sheets in the storm, but the reality is that they wanted to take off all their clothes and were sweating profusely.
Even so, no one ran out to be washed away by the rain.
Because it's too hot.
Although the raindrops were not as hot as boiling water, their temperature had reached an unacceptable level. In addition, the air was filled with hot vapor, which was really unbearable.
at the same time.
The coastal waters of Laoag.
A large cargo ship was floating steadily above the rolling sea, remaining unmoved despite wind and rain.
"It is indeed a natural disaster caused by the disorder of elements. The four elements are agitated for unknown reasons and are highly active and affecting each other, triggering a chain reaction in the alchemy field."
"So we still have to find the source, but unfortunately we have found nothing after several days."
"There's nothing we can do. Elemental disorder greatly interferes with the accuracy of the instrument. Besides, this is the ocean, not the pond in your backyard."
"Really Norton?"
"Nine out of ten, the academy gave us the data, 95% probability. Sigh, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult~"
"The Miancheng Action Team suffered such a tragic fate that even junior Chu Zihang almost lost his life. I wish us good luck."
Inside the cockpit of the cargo ship, the five executive team leaders were discussing among themselves, all of them sounding pessimistic and fearful. They had no confidence at all to face the Dragon King who might evolve to his complete form.
In addition to them, there were more than 20 executive department specialists in the cabin, a total of 30 people formed the Lavager search advance team. Just now, after the inference of the college's scientific research department and other departments, it was basically determined that the abnormal climate here was related to the Dragon King Norton.
Once confirmed, the executive department will dispatch a targeted team within a few hours to work with the advance team to carry out search and annihilation missions.
"The clouds have dispersed?" said a team leader, pointing at the dashboard.
The others opened the doors and windows and walked out. Sure enough, the storm gradually subsided and the raging sea became calm.
Soon, the dark clouds dispersed and the bright sunshine shone on everyone's puzzled faces.
"Even faster than the one at home who changes his expression~" A team leader's eye twitched.
Drop drop!
The sudden alarm made several people shiver.
"We have found the source! It is only ten kilometers away from us."
"How to say?"
"Bullshit! If we miss this opportunity, it will be hard to find it again. Send the coordinates back to the Executive Department immediately. We will go over there to scout and investigate. We may be afraid, but brothers, we must not let Norton escape again!"
……
The cargo ship stopped three kilometers away from the beach. Several speedboats equipped with heavy machine guns lowered to the sea. The twenty people on board were wearing uniform combat uniforms with a half-decayed world tree representing Kassel Academy painted on their chests.
"Ito, if you confirm that the target or situation is wrong, return immediately and wait for the main force to arrive before taking action." Advance team commander Jin Zaiwu warned.
He and the remaining nine people stayed on the cargo ship to monitor the equipment to prevent any unexpected incidents, and to be ready to respond to the specialists who came to land to search at any time. After all, all eggs should not be put in one basket.
"OK, I'll treat you to a meal when I come back~" Before the action team leader Ito could finish his words, Jin Zaiwu covered his mouth with his hand.
"You little bastard, stop planting your flag in my way!" Jin Zaiwu cursed.
Hua Hua Hua~
The speedboat splashed water, and the twenty people soon landed on solid ground and arrived at the entrance of a cave on a cliff about fifteen meters high.
When they stood at the entrance of the cave that looked like a monster's mouth, they couldn't help but put on serious expressions.
The air was dry and unusually hot, the blood flow inexplicably accelerated, and the heartbeat quickened for no reason; all these signs indicated that they had arrived at the threshold of hell.
"Advance in formation, and retreat first in case of distress." Ito looked at his watch and whispered.
hum!
The light from the searchlights provided a clear view of the entire route.
There was nothing unusual at first. At most, the surrounding environment was too dry and there was no moisture at all.
But after turning a corner, Ito suddenly stopped and his hands holding the gun trembled uncontrollably.
"Sigh~~~"
Many eyes turned to look at it, and what they saw was an unbelievable scene.
The red threads gathered into various strange shapes, like blood vessels flowing through the dome of the rock wall, like strange flowers blooming, and like solidified and dried flaming magma.
"Collect samples for analysis."
"Make sure all channels are identified and nothing is missed."
"Video, send it to Norma."
Without Ito saying much, the specialists immediately took action in their respective duties. The quiet environment where you could hear a pin drop made them nervous.
However, being able to graduate from Kassel College showed that he had some real skills. Despite his fear and worry, he did not delay his work and continued to progress in an orderly manner.
"Keep going," Ito said.
"Huh? The ambient temperature has dropped by one degree!" As soon as the former finished speaking, the detection specialist's face changed drastically.
Before he could add anything, everyone immediately felt the drop in temperature, and the value on the instrument quickly dropped by 10 degrees, from extremely hot to extremely hot.
There was no temperature change in the key areas, which meant that the abnormality occurred only near them!
"Something is approaching us." Ito said sharply.
"You're right, all my snakes have escaped back." said a specialist who was supported by his teammates.
"Retreat immediately!" Ito gave the order without hesitation.
Everyone felt a chill on their backs and did not bother to pack up their equipment. They turned around and rushed away, while calling Jin Zaiwu and others to prepare for support.
However, the headset emitted panicked shouts from Jin Zaiwu and others.
"There's something under the water!"
"The hull was hit! The bottom cabin was torn apart by more than ten meters!"
"That thing is at least thirty meters long!"
"The image has been sent back!"
"Oh my! It's the dragon servant from Bronze City!"
"Send the Stormfish..."
"boom--"
The eardrums of twenty people were continuously impacted by the violent explosions, twenty cheeks turned pale, and their bodies became weak.
Such a huge noise is definitely not caused by a storm torpedo. After all, that thing does not have any communication equipment installed.
Then there is only one possibility, the ship was blown up!
When Ito thought of this worst-case scenario, his head swelled. He still owed Jin Zaiwu a meal of conveyor belt sushi.
bang——
A giant creature exuding the might of a dragon leaped down gracefully from overhead, sweeping its tail horizontally the moment it landed, and a dozen people fell heavily on the rock wall like flowers scattered from heaven.
The second-generation corpse guard named "Shen of Luo River" stood in front of Ito and his party. The cave entrance was ten meters away.
The sunlight shone in, and the seven or eight people who were not dead yet stared tremblingly at this huge and beautiful creature with burning golden eyes, unable to move their feet that felt like they were filled with lead.
This was the first time they had witnessed a real dragon with their own eyes, and at such a close distance. Before this, they had at most killed a few death serpents. Even if they had experience of killing dragons, it was when the dragons were in a dormant or egg state. They had never faced a live dragon.
"Brothers, it doesn't have bad breath!" Ito, who was closest to the scene, said the last words of his life and made his last complaint before he was smashed to pieces by Luo Shen's claw.
Bang bang bang!
The next second, fierce gunshots echoed repeatedly in the cave.
The bullets were bounced away the moment they hit the blue scales.
After a few seconds, the gunfire stopped.
