Chapter 85 Anomaly [Part 1]

In the reflection of Hu Long's pupils.

far away.

A crimson fireball shot into the sky, tearing through the hazy evening sky.

The next second, the shockwave from the explosion followed, sweeping across like an invisible giant hand.

Car sirens blared incessantly on the streets, the ground trembled violently, and people fled in terror.

The window in front of him shattered with a crash, shards flying everywhere.

The table was buzzing, and the whole house was shaking, as if it were experiencing a small earthquake.

The people inside the room lost their balance and quickly grabbed the wall for support, staring in astonishment out the window, not understanding what had happened.

The streets were filled with gasps of surprise.

Amidst the chaos, Hu Long remained motionless, his feet rooted to the ground.

With his current strength, even if the building were to collapse, it wouldn't cause him much harm.

But a hint of seriousness flashed across his face.

The direction of the explosion was none other than the location of the Hu family's main compound.

During this time, in order to avoid being disturbed, he did not return to his family home, but instead stayed at the nearby police station.

"Was it a deliberate attack, or just a coincidence?"

The thought flashed through my mind.

Hu Long suddenly moved, transforming into a black shadow and leaping out of the broken window.

Strangely, the moment he was suspended in mid-air, his entire body gradually became transparent and then disappeared completely.

At the same time, a small crater suddenly appeared on the roof below, and broken tiles flew everywhere.

Hu Long's figure transformed into an afterimage invisible to the naked eye, and he sped away forward.

This is a derivative ability of the glass placenta.

By precisely circulating the internal energy within his body, he can actively control the microstructure of the skin's surface.

Those multi-layered reticular tissues, like spiral springs, undergo extremely subtle deformations under the drive of Mingjin, thereby altering the absorption and reflectivity of the skin surface to different wavelengths of light.

In more scientific terms, it means turning the skin into a layer of active optical medium.

When the Ming Jin (vital energy) is circulated to its maximum, the skin can absorb most of the visible light, preventing it from being reflected into the observer's eyes.

at the same time.

He can also extend this optical modulation effect to the surface of clothing, ultimately achieving a certain degree of visual camouflage of the entire person.

However, this invisibility is essentially an optical camouflage.

Just like a chameleon that adjusts its color to its environment, it blends into the background by actively controlling the optical properties of its skin.

It wasn't a true disappearance in a spatial sense; thermal imagers could still detect his body heat, and the traces of air distortion caused by his high-speed movement couldn't be completely concealed.

However, it is paired with extremely fast movement speed.

It's not a problem to deceive the eyes of ordinary people.

In addition, the huge commotion outside at that moment attracted everyone's attention.

Almost no one noticed Hu Long's presence.

Although Hu Long hadn't downloaded any footwork techniques, his movement speed was still incredibly fast.

The reason is simply that he possesses great strength, and his mastery of the subtle force (mingjin) has reached perfection.

Even those who have mastered footwork and are at the Skin Polishing Realm or even the Bone Tempering Realm may not be as fast as him.

He looked like a hawk flying close to the ground.

The buildings on both sides flashed by rapidly.

Just then, several more muffled explosions were heard in the distance.

The fire grew increasingly fierce, turning half the sky a dark red.

The location of the main family compound doesn't seem to be far away.

But in reality, it's about seven or eight kilometers away.

However, given Hu Long's current speed, he arrived at his destination in just four or five minutes.

He had initially held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that perhaps the explosion was from a nearby factory in the same location.

However, as the distance gets closer...

With no obstructions, Hu Long could clearly see what was going on.

Indeed, something happened at the family compound.

The flames soared into the sky.

Flames surged and rose, billowing smoke shooting straight into the sky. Broken stones and metal fragments rained down in all directions, leaving trails of black streaks in the air, trailing orange-red flames behind them.

Faint screams could be heard as people ran towards the outside.

The original family compound was completely engulfed in flames.

Seeing this scene made Hu Long frown slightly.

The intensity of the fire is quite strange.

Inside the Hu family compound, there is a winding stream and artificial hills. Although there are scattered green plants, it is not like the deep mountains and forests where dead branches and leaves accumulate and swamp gas is generated. How could it burn so fiercely?

However, he didn't have time to think about it at that moment.

Without stopping, he darted straight towards a corner of the courtyard, where He Yanling, Hu Zhao, and the others lived.

Although due to the time travel, he actually found it difficult to truly regard these people as his closest relatives.

But people aren't plants or trees. After spending this time together, He Yanling and Hu Zhao had indeed treated him well, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to them.

Flames shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed from inside the house.

Hu Zhao and He Yanling hid under the restaurant table, trembling with fear.

He Yanling held Hu Yu, who was only a little over a year old, tightly in her arms, protecting him, while covering her mouth and nose with her other hand, trying to block the choking smoke.

The incident happened so suddenly, with explosions and flames appearing, that there was absolutely no chance to react.

At that moment, flames crackled all around, and waves of heat swept over us.

A burning roof beam lay across the gate, completely blocking their escape route.

-

All they could do was wait.

However, being inside a fire is an ordeal every minute and every second.

Perhaps due to the thick smoke, both of them began to lose consciousness.

—Bang!

Just then.

A window blocked by debris on one side shattered with a crash, sending shards of glass and sparks flying everywhere.

A figure burst through the window.

"Xiao Long!"

Upon seeing who it was, He Yanling was initially delighted, but then became anxious: "How did you get in? It's too dangerous here!"

In this regard.

Hu Long didn't reply, but simply reached out and touched her.

With nimble movements, as if lifting two chicks, he pulled He Yanling and Hu Zhao out from under the table, one in each hand.

He kicked away the still-burning roof beam, and in a few leaps, he led the two people and the child out of the fire and landed steadily on the lawn outside the courtyard.

"Dad is still in the study—"

Hu Zhao was panting heavily, his face pale.

"I see!"

Hu Long nodded.

"You all stay here and don't move. I'll go in and take a look."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared into the fire.

The door to the study on the third floor was half-open, and flames were leaping out from the crack in the door.

Hu Long kicked the door open and quickly scanned the thick smoke. Hu Chengwen was lying next to the bookshelf, his body crushed by the falling bookshelf. There was blood on his forehead, and he was unconscious.

A few sparks clung to its body, beginning to show signs of burning.

See here.

Hu Long stepped forward, pushed aside the bookshelf, tore off the other person's clothes, and extinguished the sparks on them.

I checked Hu Chengwen's breathing; thankfully, he had just fainted.

He picked up the other person and turned to leave.

Outside the compound.

Hu Zhao and He Yanling were anxiously watching them.

When they saw Hu Long reappear, carrying the unconscious Hu Chengwen covered in blood, both of them went weak in the knees and almost collapsed on the spot.

Fortunately, after landing, Hu Long gave a brief explanation, saying that he was just knocked unconscious and was not seriously injured, which helped the two of them regain their composure.

"You go first, to a safe place."

Hu Long handed Hu Chengwen over to them and turned to walk inside again.

"Xiao Long"

He Yanling instinctively tried to stop him, but Hu Long didn't stop at all and went straight inside.

Seeing this, Hu Zhao grabbed her hand.

At this moment, she had regained her composure.

"Mom, don't worry too much. You saw it yourself just now. Xiao Long is now a secret martial artist, not someone you can compare to. Let's go first, don't hold him back here."

He Yanling looked worried as she glanced at Hu Long's retreating figure, which had disappeared into the firelight.

In the end, he could only nod, holding Hu Yu, and together with Hu Zhao, they helped the unconscious Hu Chengwen away into the distance.

Behind them, the firelight illuminated half the sky.

Not far away, they saw a group of soldiers who had realized what was happening, and fire trucks rushing towards them.

Get ready to put out the fire.
