In the sky, the moon was bright and there were still stars.
On the ground, Dragon City was ablaze with lights.
Except for the children who couldn’t stay up late, all the members of the settlement were waiting warily without going to bed.
Hum!
When the Celestial Globe on the Dragon Peak showed that it was midnight, the fog that had always lingered on the sea around Dragon City began to roil. Then, mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers that were covered in shadows due to the lack of light appeared.
Then, the whole space seemed to be compressed and stuck to Dragon City.
When Dragon City reshaped the terrains with its privileges, it had shocked the new players, but when the mountains and lands were combined, it definitely astounded them.
Pop! Crackle!
The drastic environmental changes even caused extreme actions in the sky.
The moon was gone, and clouds were rising. A storm started above Dragon City.
“Freeze!”
However, when Li Chunfeng spun the Celestial Globe at the observatory at the Dragon Peak, the rain within and around Dragon City was gone, and a half illusionary sun appeared in the sky.
It was one of the abilities of the Transcendent treasure. It could change Dragon City’s weather.
Because of the sun, Dragon City became as bright as the day, which meant that they didn’t have to worry about the limited vision at night.
“City Master, several creatures are quickly approaching from the southwest!”
At the same time, Yi He, who controlled the Seismograph, spoke in the communication channel.
Similar to the Celestial Globe, the Seismograph could detect the waves on earth within a certain radius.
“Something is coming in the sky from the west too!”
Li Chunfeng, who had frozen the storm, detected approaching creatures with the Celestial Globe.
“Horse hooves?”
With his senses enhanced by True Seer, which he had gained Greater Mastery on, Ji Ye listened carefully and heard something too.
The noises sounded like the movement of more than horses.
But he wasn’t too sure; they might be other creatures with hooves. After all, a storm was going on far away outside of Dragon City.
Even he couldn’t recognize the noises clearly.
“Ah! Help!”
Very soon, a voice that sounded greatly different from the storm came.
It was the voice of a human, who was crying for help!
“Chief Dian, let’s go!”
Ji Ye’s expression changed. White Dragon Aura gathered into a cloud underneath his feet and carried him and Dian Wei, who wore a Soft Golden Armor and held a glittering pair of halberds, to the source of the cry!
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…
At the same time, at the edge of Dragon City’s territory.
Someone was riding a red horse as fast as possible. He wore simple leather armor and carried standard weapons, and he had a piece of yellow turban on his forehead.
At this moment, the yellow turban was completely wet, partly due to the rain and partly due to his sweat!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two creatures were right behind him.
They were creatures in the shape of human beings but with a height of only 1.5 meters. They were slimmer than normal humans too.
Their faces were green, and they made loud noises. Their tusks pointed at the sky. They had red pointy ears. Their triangular eyes emitted green light and thirst for blood. They ran as fast on foot as the warhorse that was running at full speed.
Making things worse, the rain had turned the road muddy and lowered the horse’s speed.
The distance between the two parties was quickly reduced, and the man on the horse was even more panicked.
“Hurry! Hurry up!”
He whipped the horse’s hindquarters that were already bleeding, urging the horse that was breathing heavily and foaming to run faster.
Apparently, the chase had lasted quite a while.
“Help…”
The human was no longer as panicked after entering Dragon City’s territory.
He had seen Ji Ye and Dian Wei, who was approaching on the Dragon Aura, because it was as bright as the day.
He cried for help with relief on his face.
“Ha… Ha!”
Not just him, the two humanoid monsters that had been chasing the red horse noticed Ji Ye and Dian Wei too.
They looked at each other, and their triangular eyes suddenly shined brightly. They both accelerated and caught up to the foaming and bleeding horse in a few seconds.
Pew!
One of the slim monsters agilely moved to the bottom of the horse’s belly and cut it apart with its claw that was covered in dim green light.
The horse’s heart, which was beating fast due to the high-speed running, was torn out, and it quickly fell and grunted in the mud.
“Ha!”
The other monster lunged at the human who rolled several meters on the ground with deformed legs due to the fall from his horse.
Obviously, the human scout had more than one broken bone from the fall, especially in his legs. It was impossible for him to run or escape.
Faced with the lunging monster, he could only raise his crossbow and launch an arrow towards its head!
Whoosh!
However, the humanoid creatures who had outrun a horse were clearly very agile.
While it was lunging at a high speed, it was still able to dodge the arrow from such a close distance.
Then, using its claws that were covered in a green light, it slashed at the chest of the human whose forehead was covered by a yellow turban.
The horse had clearly shown what would happen if the claws hit anything…
Therefore, the man’s eyes were filled with fear.
However, his pupils were then illuminated by a few interconnected golden sword auras that were as brilliant as the sun above Dragon City!
Pew… Pew… Pew… Pew…
The humanoid creature’s claws lost the green light and were cut apart when they were about to hit the man’s chest. Not just the claws, its arms, legs, and hideous head were cut off too.
Green blood gushed out of its neck which had lost the head. Some of the blood even splashed into the mouth of the man who had opened it because of fear.
[“You have killed a Land Yaksha (Extraordinary Rank-3, Elite). EXP gained: 448. Honor gained: 15!”]
“A Yaksha?”
Ji Ye, who had dismissed the Dragon Aura cloud that was too close and arrived with Distance Reduction on the ground, was rather intrigued to detect the information in his head.
The Yakshas were no strangers to the earthlings.
Similar to Garuda and dragons, they came from ancient Buddhist tales.
Many other ancient books had also mentioned the Yaksha.
On the other hand, Sun Erniang, who used to be one of the chiefs of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, was nicknamed “Female Yaksha”.
It was said that the Yakshas were ferocious demons.
The males among them were tiny and ugly, but the females were tall and beautiful. They loved feeding on humans and beasts!
“Hoooo!”
Seeing that his partner was suddenly beheaded and cut apart, the Yaksha that had just put the beating heart of the red horse into its mouth and was enjoying its taste was slightly shocked.
Then, green light glowed in its eyes as it snarled at Ji Ye and jumped at him.
Whoosh!
However, before it could approach Ji Ye, the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword, which had turned into a black rainbow, had passed its neck.
Pew!
When the Yaksha’s head rose to the sky, the lower half of its body even moved forward for some distance due to inertia before it collapsed in front of Ji Ye.
[“You have killed a Land Yaksha (Extraordinary Rank-4, Common). EXP gained: 288. Honor gained: 8!”]
Two Extraordinary creatures that were listed as aliens in ancient classics had chased a human to Dragon City.
What did that imply?
Huh, wait.
There were more than two!
“There should be three of them!”
With Dragon Aura gathering around his feet again, Ji Ye rose and looked at where the two Yakshas came.
About a kilometer away, there was a yellow horse lying on the ground, and the belly of another soldier who also wore a yellow turban on his forehead had been cut open. A Yaksha with blood on its tusks, which had silver wings on its back and which was bigger than the first two Yakshas and looked as tall as a human, had just feasted on the bodies.
“Ha…”
It seemed to be keen enough to detect Ji Ye’s eyes.
The silver-winged Yaksha looked back at Ji Ye whose feet were surrounded by Dragon Aura!
This Yaksha that had a pair of silver wings was clearly much stronger than the two Land Yakshas that had been beheaded.
However, after the eye contact with Ji Ye, there was shock and fear on its bloodthirsty green face.
Then, without any hesitation, its wings were covered in silver light, and it flew away quickly.
