Chapter 122 Exposed
Black Dragon stretched its dog head in front of Lin Fan, and its snort hit the invisibility cloth, causing the cloth, which looked like a thin veil from the inside, to tremble slightly.
Lin Fan was startled. He had only been standing at the doorway observing, thinking he would definitely not be noticed. The entire house reeked of a foul stench, like a septic tank, with a layer of yellow grime on the floor. The three children were lying on the floor, their lips pressed against the ground.
Could it be that such a strong smell didn't affect the black dragon dog's sense of smell?
Just as Lin Fan was regretting underestimating the power of this king of beasts, the black dragon slowly retracted its head.
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but still dared not move. The black dragon had keen senses, and he couldn't let it realize that something was wrong.
The black dragon retracted its long neck, shook its long, black hair on both sides of its ears as if it were very casual, and then bit the child who had turned into a bat.
With its neck raised high, as if it had swallowed a whole small bread roll, it swallowed the bat whole.
The bat let out a piercing scream, but was swallowed whole a moment later, and fell completely silent.
The other two people present remained motionless in the face of this situation, as if the one being eaten was not their companion.
Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly. There was nothing to sympathize with in these wetland children who helped the harmful beasts harm their own kind. But seeing a human being so easily eaten still filled him with an indescribable anger.
……
"Hao'er is really impatient. He didn't even want to wait until the ancestral worship ceremony was over before leaving and left in a hurry."
Li Youtian, dressed in his burial clothes, sat cross-legged on the luxurious mahogany bed, muttering to himself. The old man had his eyes closed and was slowly meditating and breathing deeply. He didn't sleep much to begin with, and he always sat like this, thinking.
"If only we could catch Liu Feng, Hao'er would definitely be willing to come back again. Hao'er, my Hao'er, I can't wait any longer..."
There was a knock on the heavy solid wood door outside the room, and Li Youtian said in a strong voice, "Come in."
A young man dressed in black opened the door and came in, closing the heavy wooden door to keep the chill out.
The Li family member in black bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, the caravan did not find Liu Feng this time either."
Li Youtian looked slightly disappointed and nodded. This was the third caravan they had searched in the past few days. However, it was normal that they couldn't find anything with such a needle-in-a-haystack search method.
"Keep a close eye on whether anyone approaches or leaves, until they do."
The young man in black was probably preparing to leave.
At this moment, Li Youtian's long eyebrows twitched, his tightly closed old eyes slowly opened, and he said to the young man in front of him, "There's no need to keep an eye on that caravan anymore. Tell the children to come back and take their tools to the breeding farm."
After saying that, he called for someone to come and ordered that a number of people be transferred from his residence to the breeding farm.
After doing all this, Li Youtian had no intention of moving and remained sitting on the bed with his eyes closed.
……
After watching the black dragon finish eating the bat, it licked its lips in satisfaction.
Seemingly about to devour one, the black dragon suddenly raised its head without warning and roared at the sky.
Lin Fan sensed something was wrong and, disregarding the risk of exposure, turned and ran outside.
As expected, the black dragon let out a long wolf howl, then swung its giraffe-like neck and bit down at the spot where Lin Fan had been standing.
The two children behind him quickly stood up, took out a blood-red pill, put it in their mouths and crushed it. Their bodies twisted and deformed, and they quickly turned into two bats, rushing towards the direction Lin Fan was fleeing.
The invisibility cloth can only refract light, and once you start running, you'll appear as a blurry phantom, making you easy to spot.
Lin Fan noticed that wetland people were emerging from all directions and surrounding him. Knowing that his concealment was no longer useful, he decisively threw the transparent cloak in one direction, revealing his figure, and ran out of the house.
The clanging of chains came from behind. The black dragon, having missed its bite, clearly wanted to give chase, but was blocked by iron chains as thick as trees.
Lin Fan never expected that the first person he would run into head-on would be Niu Dadan.
"Brother Lin, have you found Ruolan?"
Lin Fan shook his head bitterly, "No, I think that big black dog smelled me."
Niu Dadan frowned in confusion, "Black Dragon shouldn't react to the scent of strangers. It's my fault."
In fact, Niu Dadan had already wandered around the ancestral hall area himself. Compared to Lin Fan, an outsider, Heilong didn't even react to him, a member of the Li family who had defected.
Without time to discuss the cause, their immediate priority was to escape their predicament.
Niu Dadan silently recited the incantation, and his body rapidly grew larger, his tattered clothes becoming even more ragged.
A giant rabbit with long limbs, half-human and half-rabbit, pounced on him.
A rabbit will bite when cornered, and it can even jump over walls. The giant rabbit leaped high, landing right in front of Niu Dadan's chest. Niu Dadan easily slapped it away, sending it crashing into the wall. Dust billowed up, and it didn't seem to get up for a while, whether it was unconscious or had a broken bone.
Two bats swooped down on Lin Fan, flapping their wings and trying to use their aerial advantage to blind him with their sharp claws.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the jumping ability of humans who had taken the super-strength pill. Taking advantage of the two bats swooping down together, Lin Fan leaped up to meet them. The bats quickly turned to dodge, and the humans behind them only had time to extend a scythe to lightly slash their legs.
Just as the bats were congratulating themselves on their timely escape and secretly reassessing the safe distance, two painful memories that did not belong to them exploded in their minds.
The two bats seemed to have truly experienced a painful and unbearable ordeal, flapping their wings and flying haphazardly in the sky.
Lin Fan grabbed a bat flying towards the ground, pulled it in front of him, plunged the black knife into its stomach, and without caring whether the bat lived or died, immediately chased after another bat that had just regained consciousness.
The other bat had just realized that it wasn't the one captured and tortured by the Ma family, and was thinking of flapping its wings and flying away when it was too late. Lin Fan grabbed its foot and slammed it heavily to the ground.
With its head slamming heavily into the ground, the bat felt dizzy and almost lost consciousness, its body twitching only instinctively. Lin Fan casually stabbed the bat a few times in the back of its neck before immediately turning his attention to his surroundings.
Even among harmful beasts, there are differences in strength; bats and rabbits are clearly inferior to the giant wolf from before.
The number of wetland people who had transformed into monstrous beasts surrounding them was increasing. Lin Fan didn't bother to ensure that he could kill every single one of his opponents. He just randomly stabbed them in vital areas to incapacitate them. His goal wasn't to kill more beasts, but to escape this hellish place as quickly as possible.
After struggling for a while and realizing that the chains couldn't be broken, the black dragon could only bark at Lin Fan. In its agitation, the veins all over its body bulged, exposed on its hairless black skin.
With a snap, a boil on the top of a head burst open, splattering foul-smelling yellow fluid everywhere, slowly revealing an old figure dressed in a funeral shroud.
