The Great Seminary

Chapter 19: The Dragon Rises
For most of the year, water on Serpent's Head Island turns to ice.

A wealthy and powerful government office like the Kuroki Town Market Hall would naturally not suffer.

A special fine iron stove is used for insulation inside.

It is as round as a huge tree that one person cannot hug, more than half a person's height, and can be filled with dozens of kilograms of coke at a time.

Two furnaces were used to burn over a hundred kilograms of coke.

Zhang Gui's whole body was as red as cast iron, but he didn't drink a drop of water.

He ran back into the rain only when his spirit could no longer support him.

The main god Cong 'Drinking the River', who was extremely hungry and thirsty, immediately started to instinctively operate when he saw water, and absorbed the rain water into Zhang Gui's body through his pores.

The powerful force condensed the nearby raindrops into small whirlpools.

Attracted by it, the only opened orifice of the other main god's cluster 'Water and Fire Assistance' pumped out golden blood, which turned into a clump of hair and floated towards the skin.

The new "From the Gods" has begun here, named "As Drinking".

Soon, even though his body was no longer dehydrated, Zhang Gui could still absorb rainwater through his pores.

He used all his strength to jump out of the market hall and flew out of the market hall.

He went to a paint workshop in the market and secretly painted his face with red paint.

He jumped a few times to the top of the tallest wooden building on the street and had a bird's eye view of the whole town.

The streets were deserted, but the restaurants, casinos, and brothels were still brightly lit, and there was nothing unusual.

But the strange thing is that there is not a single patrolman in the town.

No matter how heavy the rain is, it cannot be as hard as a knife. But even if it rains knives from the sky, according to the rules of Kuroki Town, the patrol guards still have to patrol the streets in the downtown area after nightfall to deter villains.

Just as Zhang Gui was feeling strange, a bolt of lightning struck him head-on, making him dizzy and causing him to fall from the roof.

A young lady from Hanxiang Pavilion was standing by the window, gazing at the falling rain with her cheek in her hand.

She is naturally sentimental, and has the character of "a beautiful woman in a secluded valley, with peerless beauty" as described in ancient poetry.

But unfortunately, her appearance is quite ordinary. Even with the help of skillful makeup, her appearance is only about 60% or 70% bright, and she is the type who can barely go on stage.

Tonight a wealthy businessman is inviting the whole house to applause.

The business only comes from hiring all the idle young ladies in the brothel.

However, because there are many prostitutes and few customers, on average one can have six or seven clients, and there are still some left after four are stuck in front, behind, left and right.

No one pays attention to a girl like this.

As she was daydreaming, she suddenly saw a naked figure falling from the sky in the heavy rain.

Then, like a grasshopper, he jumped up and disappeared.

"Oh, there's a naked, red-faced madman flying in the rain!" the young lady blurted out in shock.

"Where is this? Such a foreign sight."

"Flying in the rain, red-faced and naked.

Honghong, you must be crazy about men, hahahaha."

The other ugly, skinny-breasted young ladies who were drinking alone were bored and gathered around with a smile when they heard the words.

But by this time Zhang Gui had disappeared.

The other young ladies couldn't see it, and just thought that Young Lady Honghong was dazzled and laughing. Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky and illuminated the distance.

In the rain clouds, several terrifyingly huge pythons were flying in the air.

Faintly visible patches of blood dyed the rain red.

Everyone was so frightened that they sat down on the ground, their faces pale and unable to speak.

In the rain.

Zhang Gui, whose palms and soles were charred by the electric shock and whose whole body was still trembling slightly, also saw the huge pythons.

Just by looking, he knew that those monsters could turn him into a pulp with a single sweep of their tails, so he hurriedly hid in the shadows of the buildings, seeking psychological security.

Seeing that the place where the giant python was flying almost overlapped with Zhang Qitong's camp, Zhang Gui knew that even if he didn't cause trouble today, trouble would probably find him in the future.

It is better to turn passivity into initiative.

Long wait.

After several flashes of lightning and thunder, the giant python disappeared from the distant clouds. At the same time, the slight tremors in his body gradually disappeared.

I moved my hands and feet and felt that everything was fine.

Zhang Gui slipped out of the town with his "strong feet".

There was no patrol guarding the city wall, which made him feel even more strange.

After leaving the town, I didn't dare walk on the cobblestone road, but went into the woods.

During thunderstorms, people are most likely to be struck by lightning when standing under trees.

If the wind and rain had not been so strong, a fire would have already started in the forest.

Zhang Gui was very afraid that he would be struck by lightning again, so when he ran, he deliberately looked for charred trees that had been struck by lightning to land on.

The principle is the same as finding a crater made by a shell on the battlefield and lying down.

As he ran along, a field of scattered corpses appeared in front of Zhang Gui.

If it weren't for the treetops blocking the pouring rain, the muddy red on the ground would have been washed away, and the flesh and bones would not have been so conspicuous.

Zhang Gui saw blood when he opened the door not long ago, and he didn't think it was that scary even though the meat gourds were rolling around.

I was quite proud of myself and thought I was made of special materials.

Now I realize that it was just that the quantitative change was not enough and it did not lead to qualitative change.

His hands were shaking slightly as he avoided looking at the corpses. He wanted to vomit but held it back as he carefully identified the identities of the remains and pieces of flesh.

There are quite a few broken horse heads.

There are still fragments of heavy armor on the horse's body.

Looking at the sharp teeth in the horse's mouth, which looked like those of a ferocious beast, even if Zhang Gui didn't know him well, he knew that it must be a heavy cavalry of an alien species.

There were also quite a few arms or remains of arms holding long swords. They should be low-level monks trained in batches.

When he looked over again, a dead head that he vaguely remembered suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The old man who had been so passionate and enthusiastic beside Zhang Qitong an hour and a half ago has now turned pale.

The scholar's uniform was also changed into a samurai uniform, and the size was also very different.

The body that was obviously very thin when I saw it last time has now become as tall as a tree, with bulging muscles and tendons like a crouching snake.

This old man who looks like a high-level intellectual at first glance is actually a high-level bodyguard.

Zhang Gui was almost certain of Zhang Yan's intentions, and also guessed Zhang Qitong's most likely fate.
"Zhang Qitong is probably finished.

There is a 99% chance that Zhang Yan did it.

I’m going to die, I’m going to die, I’m going to die!
He really wasn't even satisfied with the Foreign Affairs Patriarch, and turned the tables! "

Zhang Gui secretly groaned in his heart, hesitated for a moment, ignored the corpses on the ground, and walked towards the camp not far away.

No matter how high the possibility is, it is not 100% certain, and the reason why Zhang Gui took the risk to come here is to be certain.

Walking through the muddy woods.

In order to reduce the noise as much as possible, he stopped using the Shen Cong Jianzu technique and slowed down his pace.

Suddenly, a strange cry accompanied by the rustling of rain hitting leaves came over and over again:
"The dragon has escaped!"

"The dragon is leaving!"

“The water is three hundred miles long and reaches ten feet into the sea!

The dragon is gone!"

The sound made people's hearts numb and their whole bodies tremble with goose bumps.

at the same time.

The mud on the ground cracked and turned into springs gushing out, knocking down trees and sweeping up rocks.

In an instant, the forest turned into a swamp.

Without the obstruction of the treetops, the rain from the sky and the spring water on the ground mixed together.

Covering the sky and the earth!
