We dragons, we all lose a point and beg for ten.
Chapter 51
Lu Yuanyi could not answer.
He felt the fingers around his throat tighten, and though his mouth was wide open, the air in his lungs was still being pushed out little by little, and in the fear of suffocation, his thick clothes were already wet with cold sweat.
Finally, just before Lu Yuanyi was about to pass out, she mercifully let go of her hand.
"With a muffled thud, the obese middle-aged man fell heavily to the ground.
He held his burning throat, coughing violently, breathing frantically.
In his darkened vision, Lu Yuanyi saw a figure walking slowly towards him.
The horrible oppression he had just felt poured over him like a mountain, and the threatening feeling that his life was hanging by a thread gripped him by the throat, as if the hand had not yet been removed from his neck, and he could not catch his breath.
Lu Yuanyi crawled backward without any luck, but felt his palms being gently stepped on by the hard surfaces of his shoes.
"Hey, I asked you a question."
The young man's clear voice came from overhead.
In the next second, he applied force to his foot and crushed it heavily without mercy.
Lu Yuanyi used his other hand to pick at the soles of the other party's feet, his face twisted, and he threatened, "You, do you know what kind of person I am, offending the forces behind me will make your life worse than death! If you stop now, I, I may still be able to forgive, let you die a little better ......."
The soles of the shoes that stepped on his hands gave a slight lurch, but, before Lu Yuanyi could breathe a sigh of relief, he only heard the other party's slightly puzzled voice ring out again, with a slightly upturned ending, as if he was very confused:
"...... past not guilty?"
Suddenly and without warning, a burning pain rose up in his body.
There wasn't a single flame on his body, but it was as if his soul was being roasted by karmic fire, and the indescribably intense pain almost exceeded the upper limit of what every human being could endure.
Lu Yuanyi's eyes were glazed over, and a mournful scream issued from his throat.
No, it can't be.
The inside of his body was protected at all times, how could his magic defense be destroyed so easily?
"Neither?" The other repeated again in a calm tone.
Although there was not much emotion in his voice, Lu Yuanyi could hear a cold chill in it.
"Ka-ching!"
A clear crack of bone sounded as the man's short, thick, ring-covered palm spasmed and contorted in excruciating pain.
"!!!"
This time, Lu Yuanyi didn't even make a sound, his mouth wide open and panting, his body curled up into a shrimp.
The teenager's voice took on a hint of gnashing of teeth:
"You brazen thieves, how dare you have the nerve to tell me that you are not to blame?"
At that moment, Lu Yuanyi's mind flashed back to the crimson pupils he had just glimpsed.
No, not human.
It can't be human.
Lu Yuanyi's teeth were chattering, and he couldn't stop shivering all over his body, as big sweat oozed out of his greasy forehead and ran down his trembling cheeks, dripping onto the carpet.
His mind aching and fuzzy, Lu Yuanyi saw it, the white, brilliant gemstone on his thumb, which shone brightly in the light, but gleamed at the edge of his vision,
In that instant, as if he suddenly realized something, he slowly stared with wide eyes, an expression of extreme horror showing on his face.
A sinking, cold fact lay clearly before him.
Yes, it's a dragon.
A giant dragon that has been out of sight on the continent for ten thousand years, and is considered a peak combatant even among the fantasy species.
The just-risen desire for vicious revenge was replaced by boundless fear.
He immediately understood why he had been approached.
Lu Yuanyi stretched out his hand, shivering, and from his own crushed and deformed hand, he violently tore off all the rings with such force that he couldn't care less about the pain, and cupped and offered them with one hand:
"Da, lord, I I I I I, I didn't know it was owned by you ......"
Lu Yuanyi lied.
Of course he knew where the treasure came from.
But there are no more dragons in this world, and the endless greed that comes with unclaimed treasure washes over him, and he offers his help with a share of the treasure - a small share in the whole, but enough for him to go out of his way for it, and act outside the rules.
Shi An didn't pick up.
He crouched down, locked eyes with the wolfish middle-aged man in front of him, and asked, "And?"
Lu Yuanyi hurriedly said, "I, I'll take you to get it!"
Shi An gave the middle-aged man in front of him a fixed stare and slowly withdrew his foot, "Lead the way."
He followed Lu Yuanyi all the way to the underground warehouse of the Spire.
The other man reached out, shivering and wiping the sweat from his forehead mixed with blood and mud, before reaching out and feeding his magic into the treasure chest.
Lu Yuanyi stumbled in and opened the first inner room, the door to the treasure trove slowly opened, revealing a room full of brilliant golden light.
"My lord, all of it is here ......"
Shi An: "Not enough."
Lu Yuanyi froze, "But, my lord, I, this is really all I got that belongs to you ......"
Shi An twisted her head towards the other party, her reddish-gold vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and she hooked up the corner of her lips, revealing an innocent and harmless smile her voice was gentle and soft:
"I said, not enough."
--We dragons, all of us, lose a point and beg for ten.
*
Avon District Administration, internal classified conference room.
Mu Hang sat at the top of the table, gazing at the group of powerful people and high officials in the Avon District not far away.
Although they all forced themselves to be calm, a trace of fear that was hard to hide was still showing between their looks.
Obviously, they had all heard some rumors and were clear about why Mu Hang had actually called them here this time.
However, after Wen Yao's speech was over, only a small portion of the people showed a tendency to be willing to cooperate in the layout, and most of the rest of the members were still pretending to be stupid, obviously not ready to hand over the treasure that they had already got their hands on so easily, and there were still a few flukes left in their hearts, either because they thought that the dragon would definitely not come to them, or because they were extraordinarily confident of their own defense, thinking that they will definitely not suffer.
How stupid, how greedy.
A hint of impatience swept across the bottom of Mu Hang's eyes.
At that moment, Wen Yao received a short message, she was slightly stunned, came over and said something in a low voice beside Mu Hang.
Mu Hang was also slightly startled.
He lowered his eyelashes, thought for a moment, and said, "Put out this message."
Wen Yao: "Yes."
She coughed lightly, raised her voice, and said, ''We have just received news that Lu Yuanyi, the principal of the Avon Academy, has just been attacked within the academy, and has now been sent to the hospital for treatment.
He was badly injured, with comminuted fractures all over his body, seemingly pinched hard all over, and magic applied to ensure that the healing was long and painful, and that he would face up to years of healing, even with the best medical care available today.
What's worse, Principal Lu has been screaming at the hospital that he's been burned, but the doctors didn't find any traces of burns on his body, most likely magical trauma on the soul level, a trauma that may not be able to heal completely, and the after-effects may stay with him for life."
Wen Yao reported in a calm, steady voice, not slowing down.
The entire classified conference room fell silent, and a stunned expression appeared on everyone's face as they looked at each other incredulously, almost a little in disbelief of their own ears.
Of course they know Lu Yuanyi.
He is probably one of the most authoritative experts in the field of defense on the entire continent, as long as he unfolds his magical defense, he can almost be considered invincible, among all the people here, no one dares to say that he is absolutely sure to break through Lu Yuanyi's defense ......
But it was someone who could never have been injured who was attacked to the point of serious injury in what they thought was a very safe academy.
How is this ...... possible?
Wen Yao spoke up at the right time, "Part of our personnel were sent to the hospital and the other part to the academy, and while we have yet to learn anything about it from anyone, it seems that Principal Lu's underground warehouse was left wide open, and all the property inside has most likely been looted and disappeared."
This statement had an almost decisive impact.
Quite a few people who had been unwilling to cooperate since just now gradually showed a shaken look on their faces.
They hesitated, as if they were thinking about weighing something.
Just as Wen Yao was about to continue her story, Mu Hang stood up and calmly interrupted her:
"Why don't you all think about it and give me an answer in three days."
"I have other related work to attend to next, so I will not be accompanying you for the time being." Having said that, Mu Hang gave a slight nod towards the crowd in front of him, before walking out the door without a care in the world.
Wen Yao froze for two seconds, but responded very quickly.
She stood up and rounded off the meeting with a professional and cordial demeanor, escorting each of these powerful and high-ranking officials of the Avon District out of the confidential conference hall.
Mu Hang heads out down the corridor outside the conference hall, the hard soles of his shoes striking the ground with a smooth, sharp sound.
As he walked, he pulled out his cell phone.
The interface jumps and Shi An's contact information appears on top of the screen.
However, before Mu Hang could answer the phone, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Mu sir ...... you are here."
Mu Hang motioned and twisted his head.
Only to see the local governor of the Avon District is hurriedly walking quickly in this direction, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "This, I am actually very supportive of your plan, and I'm also very willing to cooperate, if you need it, the rest of the people I'm willing to help you to communicate and persuade, and I'm sure that they'll still be willing to sell me this face ......"
"However, I didn't come here this time to talk to you about that ......"
Aiwen District Officer took a step closer and lowered his voice, "I was hoping, could I make a small deal with you, if you succeed in slaying the dragon, I wonder if you would be willing to give face and sell me the dragon's dragon scales? Not only the dragon scales, but the internal organs or dragon bones are also very good ......"
The silver-haired, blue-eyed man slowly narrowed his eyes, and they were pale and uncertain.
His timbre was still calm and quiet, but his low voice inexplicably took on a bit of creepy coldness, thin and indifferent:
"What?"
The governor of the Avon district was completely unaware of the danger.
He had a fawning smile on his face, but greed flashed under his eyes:
"Of course, I'll give you the very right price."
