Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early the next morning, the sunlight shone into the room, covering the sleeping person in the room with a layer of golden light. Lin Xuan picked up his phone in a daze and looked at the time. He was going to be late for school!
He hurriedly got up and was about to put on his clothes when he suddenly remembered that it was the weekend. If that was the case, it was time for him to go back to bed! He had practiced a little too much last night and was a little tired.
Before he closed his eyes, he quickly got up as he recalled something. He had the field training today!
Lin Xuan hurriedly got up and washed up.
Lin Zhenyue and Lin Zhenxing stood in front of the city gates of the outer city area of Dongning City. This was the entrance to the wilderness of Dongning City. There were people coming and going, but the two pretty little girls stood by the city gates. They were hunters passing by from the Bounty Hunter Guild and the bounty thieves couldn’t help but look at them. Some of them were even bold enough to whistle and flirt with them.
Lin Zhenyue was expressionless while Lin Zhenxing was curled up beside her sister. She kept complaining about why Lin Xuan hadn’t come yet.
In reality, Lin Xuan had just woken up and was washing up. He was just about to set off. Suddenly, there was a big earthquake.
“What’s going on?”
“I’ve never heard of an earthquake in Dongning City!”
The noisy city quieted down for a moment. Everyone felt that something was wrong. Some people even took out their phones to see if there was an earthquake near Dongning City. Why did the feeling of the earthquake spread to Dongning City?
Another one happened!
This time, the feeling of the earthquake was even more obvious than the previous one. The things that were placed in the shops on the streets were all shaken off and fell to the ground.
Something was wrong!
The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other and immediately called the internal department. At this time, the situation was still unclear, so it was not appropriate to send an emergency signal to the citizens just yet. However, in the next second, it seemed like the only choice.
The third earthquake came. No, it was not an earthquake. It was the rumbling from wild monsters. On the streets that were covered with solid tiles, a few huge earthworms broke through the streets and crawled up, letting out hoarse roars. In the potholes left behind them, Blackbeard Rats, Prairie Rabbits, Wind Wolves, Turkeys, and countless wild monsters ran out as well.
The mournful alarm sounded throughout the outer city area. The alarms in everyone’s homes instantly turned red, and everything was a mess.
Most of the people living in the outer city area were ability users, but most of them were ordinary people!
At the first moment, the soldiers guarding the city sent an emergency signal to the headquarters of the military region that an attack on the city was happening. Other than the headquarters of the military region receiving the signal, the Ability User Guild, all the high schools… the Bounty Hunter Guild, and others would receive the signal at the same time.
A flame shot out from the inner city area of the Ability User Guild and exploded in the air. The terrifying pressure of the flame made all the low level monsters stop in their tracks. However, in the next second, a human figure bursting in flame looked out of the city, he could sense that there was a terrifying attack brewing there. He did not have time to think about whether he was luring the tiger away from the mountain, he left behind a shadowy flame to handle much more important matters. His real body instantly tore through the air and he went straight to the place where the attack was brewing.
“Everyone, listen to me. I am the Ability User Guild’s vice president, Lin. Now, listen to my commands. The city-guarding force will send all the ordinary people to a safer area. The Ability User Guild’s members will be responsible for assisting the city-guarding force. The high school teachers will lead the high school students to attack smaller enemies. The Bounty Hunter Guild will go all out to kill the higher level…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the shadow of the flames disappeared, and a terrifying explosion came from outside the city. It was a fight between experts!
If there was no one to command them, then everyone would be running without a purpose. However, now that there were people who were assigned tasks and had their own goals and priorities, everyone began to take action.
The head chef took off his chef’s uniform and dragged the frightened handyman out of the kitchen. A driver by the side of the road was arranging for ordinary people to get in the car and head to the safe area. The head chef sent the handyman to the car, then he turned around and left.
“Head chef, where are you going?”
“I’m a capable person. I’m going to kill the monsters. Get lost.”
With a kitchen knife in hand, he stabbed the back of a Prairie Rabbit’s neck cleanly and disappeared at the end of the street.
In the nursing home, the three disabled old men put on their equipment and pushed aside the worker who was going to send them to the safe area. “Get lost. Don’t delay our work.”
A delivery boy killed a Wind Wolf with one punch. He took out a still-warm delivery from the insulated box behind him and handed it to the lady. Although the bag was covered in blood, the lady felt exceptionally safe.
Many ordinary people suddenly turned into ability users. They took out a bunch of equipment and taught the wild monsters a lesson. However, most of the people in the outer city were still ordinary people. Some people were lucky and were saved by ability users, other people were not. No one came to save them, so they had to fend for themselves.
Low level yellow rank monsters were actually not strong. If ordinary people were well prepared, they could still kill them. However, most of the time, low level yellow rank monsters moved in groups.
The Lin sisters were really unlucky this time. They had been standing at the city gate before the accident, and the area near the city gate was exactly where the monsters rushed in. If Lin Zhenyue had not reacted in time and escaped with Lin Zhenxing… they would have been crushed into pieces by the earthworms.
However, Lin Zhenyue was now regretting her decision to reject Zhao Hao’s request to travel with her this morning. If she had known that something like this would happen, she would have let him come with her.
The monster in front of her was a Kobold. Well, if it was just an ordinary kobold, she would have dared to fight against it with her bare hands. However, this was clearly not the case. The Kobold’s body was filled with a dragon’s might that was not much different from Lin Xuan’s. The eyes were red, from time to time, small flames would appear from its nostrils. This was a Kobold Warlock!
A wild monster at the peak of the yellow rank, a Kobold Warlock was known as a rookie killer!
If her familiar, Flame, was around, she could still fight with this Kobold Warlock. However, at this time, she did not dare to act rashly. A simple mage going against such a Kobold would only lead to death.
Ordinary fireballs were middle level yellow rank, but the Kobold Warlock’s fireballs had the blessing of the dragon bloodline. Its power had already jumped to high level yellow rank, and even seemed to be at the peak of the yellow rank.
Principal Song rushed to the scene with the teachers of Dongning School and the students of the second and third years of high school. After assigning a mission, he hurriedly came out to look for the two sisters. Then, he saw a scene from afar that made his eyes almost pop out.
Flames surged in the mouth of the Kobold Warlock, and a terrifyingly high temperature spread around the area. The cruel red eyes were filled with excitement.
“Come here you piece of trash.”
In the distance, Lin Xuan sprinted all the way. The talent of the agile body was fully activated. When he saw the Lin sisters, the kobold was already about to fire a fireball. He immediately activated the second transformation charge, and then Taunt.
The Kobold Warlock immediately turned his head, and an orange fireball with explosive power flew towards Lin Xuan.
The purple wooden shield on the back of his hand was facing inward with his palm facing inward. He was in a defensive posture, but he also felt that it was not safe.
The fireball smashed into the purple wooden shield that Lin Xuan held in front of him, and it immediately exploded. The terrifying flames directly engulfed Lin Xuan.
