Chapter 2190 Besieged on All Sides
Yan Qi and Lao Mo were so frightened that their faces turned pale!

I felt a chill run down my spine!
If they hadn't followed Feng Jiuxiao around, they would have been turned into mincemeat by now!

The leaders of the four major gangs, including the Beggars' Sect, were secretly relieved!

When Feng Jiuxiao went around, they became more cautious and did not continue forward!
If they weren't afraid of being embarrassed by Feng Jiuxiao seeing them, they would have followed them long ago!
But the others didn't have the same patience as the four of them. After all, the four of them had once been considered one of Feng Jiuxiao's own people and had stayed at Yingyue Manor!

They have a mysterious adoration for Feng Jiuxiao!

The Huashan Sect disciples at the rear of the convoy were all terrified! They kept looking back!
"That thing was so dark, it didn't look like a roc at all!"

"Didn't you hear them say that thing is called Yinglong, a kind of dragon?"

"Is this monster a dragon? Dragons have wings?"

Linghu Jing sat upright in the carriage, his face solemn. "It is called Yinglong precisely because it has wings! Ying is pronounced like an eagle's cry, meaning 'acting in accordance with the mandate of heaven,' symbolizing 'receiving the mandate of heaven and acting on behalf of heaven!'"

A female disciple said, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, from childhood to adulthood I have only ever seen wingless serpentine dragon patterns, never dragon patterns with wings, so seeing this monster today feels unreal."

Linghu Jing said, "Legend has it that Yinglong only appeared three times. The first time was when it drove Nuwa's chariot to mend the sky and save the world! When Gonggong broke Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split, Yinglong used its divine power to support the heavens and the earth, helping Nuwa collect five-colored stones to complete the feat of mending the sky. The second time was when it helped the Yellow Emperor fight Chiyou, securing the Central Plains in one battle! In the Battle of Zhuolu, Chiyou summoned the Wind God and Rain Master, causing torrential rain. Yinglong stored water to counterattack, using its wings to cover the sky, and finally killed Chiyou and Kuafu, laying the foundation for the Yellow Emperor's victory. After this battle, it migrated south, hence 'the south is rainy'—this is the ancient people's mythological explanation of the climate phenomenon. The third time was when it assisted Yu the Great in controlling the floods, opening mountains and guiding the floodwaters! The floods were devastating, and the people suffered. Yinglong descended again, using its tail to draw on the ground, digging rivers and guiding the floodwaters into the sea; it helped Yu the Great lock the water monster Wuzhiqi in Turtle Mountain, dredge the Dragon Gate, and quell the floods!"

The Huashan Sect disciples on the bus were all deeply moved!

A dragon, connecting the three major themes of creation, war, and flood control, is arguably the most versatile mythical beast in Chinese mythology!
"I never imagined that the mythical Yinglong... would actually descend to earth! It's incredible!"

Linghu Jing said, "This world only exists in your perception."

One of the male disciples suddenly said, "I understand! Just like the stage is as big as your heart! The truth of this world depends on the limits of our cognition!"

Another disciple said, "Yes, many incredible things do exist, but we just haven't seen them."

One of the female disciples said, “From a young age, I felt that there were no real dragons in the world. My father told me that dragons were just a spiritual totem of the ancients, a fictional creature. Dragons were just a hodgepodge of various animals pieced together.”

Linghu Jing said, “What your father said… isn’t entirely wrong. The Erya Yi says that a dragon has ‘horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow.’ That’s at least a combination of nine creatures! But remember this: ‘Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!’ The world is full of wonders! Why do we humans look like this? Why do horses look like that? There are birds that can fly and fish that can swim! We’ve lived in the Northwest for many years, do you know how many kinds of sea fish there are?”

Everyone shook their heads. "I don't know."

Linghu Jing said, "My question might be a bit problematic. Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen a whale?"

Everyone shook their heads. One male disciple said, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."

Linghu Jing asked, "Have you ever seen a panda?"

"No! I've heard that this thing is also called the Iron-Eating Beast, and it seems to have only appeared in the Shu Kingdom."

"That's right, Ayou reads a lot. Do you know anything about sika deer?"

"I've heard of it. It seems to be a unique species in Liaodong. Deer antler is a unique medicinal material."

“That’s right. You’ve never seen these things before, yet you believe that these creatures exist in this world. Why?”

The disciples looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

Linghu Jing's voice became somewhat ethereal, filled with sarcasm, "That's because you believe those who conveyed this information!" He turned to look at the young junior brother, "Ayou, how do you know about sika deer?"

Ayou chuckled dryly and said, "I first learned about it from the Book of Songs, 'The deer cry out, eating the wild apples.'"

"Then how do you know it's a sika deer?"

"My dad told me!"

"You're so convinced based on just this one thing?" "Of course, there are other picture books as well."

"With those picture books, are you convinced that deer exist?"

"The story of pointing at a deer and calling it a horse is in the Records of the Grand Historian. It can't be fake, can it?"

"Haha, Zhao Gao said that deer was a horse, then let me ask you, why is that deer a sika deer? Why not a Père David's deer? Why not a Eld's deer, a hog deer, a white-lipped deer, a Père David's deer, a black muntjac, or a moose? Why not a red deer or a water deer?"

"……this……"

"Do you know there's another type of deer called a roe deer?"

"A deer with a rat-like face?"

"That's right! The roe deer is an anomaly among deer! Neither males nor females have antlers, and the males have protruding canines. This combination of characteristics is unlike any other deer! They are all deer, yet they look so strange! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never have believed that there are animals in this world that look like this!"

"Sect Leader, I understand what you mean. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

“That’s right. You’ve never seen Yinglong, so you assume it doesn’t exist. But you’ve also never seen a sika deer, yet you’re convinced it does. It’s quite intriguing to think about.”

Junior Sister Ling'er said, "I think all we're missing is a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian! Or rather, an authoritative historical book!"

Linghu Jing said, "You mean that what is recorded in history books is true, and what is not recorded is false?"

Ling'er seemed to realize the flaw in her statement and immediately shook her head. She realized that there were also records of Yinglong in relevant historical texts, so her judgment was unfounded.

Linghu Jing laughed: "What? You've lost your confidence so quickly? Actually, I've been forced into this state by reality!" His gaze became deep and distant, his voice low and hoarse, "I never believed that there were monsters with wolf heads and human bodies in this world, but I just happened to encounter one!"

All the disciples on the carriage felt a chill run down their spines!
They all knew who the wolf-headed, human-bodied figure referred to was!
The Heavenly Wolf of the Western Regions!

That year, several werewolves from the Western Regions wreaked havoc on Mount Hua! The disciples of Mount Hua suffered heavy casualties!

In the end, it was Feng Jiuxiao who shot down all the werewolves!
Only one person was left alive!
The only werewolf is currently driving a carriage, and Feng Jiuxiao is sitting in it!
Linghu Jing said, "I don't believe that people can come back to life either, but the army of living corpses and skeletons of the Demonic Sect has overturned my understanding!"

Ling'er's expression also changed, as if recalling terrifying past events. She said in a trembling voice, "Yes, today is the first time I've ever seen zombies! They look like living people, but their eyes are lifeless, a deathly gray... It's so scary!" Especially when she thought of the scene just now—the image of countless zombies surging endlessly from the bottom of the lake! Every zombie had a deathly look on its face, an absolute killing machine without a trace of emotion or warmth!
Wherever they went, corpses littered the land! Like locusts sweeping across, not a blade of grass grew!
Linghu Jing said, "Alright, following Young Master Feng is definitely the right thing to do! If we hadn't gone around him just now, we would either have been smashed into mincemeat by Yinglong or fallen into the lake and frozen to death. Everyone should feel lucky!"

Ling'er clutched her chest and said, "Of course I'm glad!" She admitted that she was just a mortal, and in front of Yinglong, she was nothing but an ant! If she stayed where she was, she would either be crushed to death by the fleshy wings, or the ice would be smashed, and she and her car would fall into the icy lake!
She craned her neck to look back, only to see the lake covered with corpses!

The Yinglong was flapping its wings to ensure its body remained suspended in mid-air and wouldn't fall onto the ice. Its weight was definitely tens of thousands of kilograms! The current thickness of the ice simply couldn't support its weight!
Its eyes seemed to spit flames, as if it wanted to burn all these ants to death!
Any threat that gets close to it must be eliminated!
Suddenly—

It let out a high-pitched whistling sound from its throat!

The ice beneath my feet suddenly cracked!

With a series of cracking sounds, a jagged crack extended towards the crowd at a visible speed, passing right under their feet in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, most of the heroes had already covered their ears! The sound waves were like thunder, vibrating incessantly. Some of those with slightly weaker skills felt dizzy and their chests and abdomens churned. Pfft—a few people were even vomiting blood on the spot!

Before everyone could recover, the huge crack suddenly burst open, and ice shards burst out from the long crack, forming a curtain of snow!
Fearing they would fall into the crevice, the martial arts heroes scrambled to either side. Unexpectedly, a gigantic figure suddenly broke through the ice and emerged. In a fleeting glimpse, the enormous black shadow resembled the head of a giant python!

Before the five martial arts masters could react, they were swallowed whole by the giant python!
The giant python had been searching for cracks in the ice, but unexpectedly, Yinglong's roar shattered the ice, which was like a godsend! It immediately crawled out of the crack in the ice!

What the hell!

Besieged on all sides!

There are strange birds above and giant snakes below. What kind of hell mode is this?
Many people felt fear again and started thinking about how to escape!
