Dragon Raja's Number One Player

..............................

Their eyes met, and they both instantly realized what was happening.

There's definitely something strange about the second floor of the teahouse.

If it were another organization, the absence of personnel might genuinely mean they have left.

But this is the stronghold of the "Fierce Ghosts," whose members are all semi-out-of-control "ghosts." Their sudden departure can only mean a larger conspiracy.

Lin Zhiying had a vague guess in his mind. He walked to Inuyama Yoshiko's side and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, those missing people are all on the second floor right now, right?"

The impromptu counterattack by seven or eight "ghosts" was definitely not weak, and could completely explain why this place had become flat land in the previous life!

Yoshiko Inuyama didn't speak, but smiled coldly, looking at the group as if they were dead.

Genji shook his head and said:

"It shouldn't be, because I didn't hear a human heartbeat on the second floor."

Yuan Zhisheng has "royal blood" flowing through his veins, and his physical attributes far surpass those of ordinary mixed-race individuals. He can vaguely hear the sounds coming from the second floor.

No heartbeat? Does that mean there are no living people on the second floor?

Lin Zhiying frowned slightly; this didn't add up again.

If it were a bomb, leveling the building would be possible, but it doesn't explain why there was so much dragon blood residue in the ruins in the previous life.

Wait a minute, a chill suddenly ran through him, and an idea that even he found unbelievable surfaced.

Could it be that thing?

Artificial White King!

The Demon Clan and the Snake Clan are like light and darkness under the sun, intertwined and existing since the beginning of the "White King's Blood Offering".

Those "White King" hybrids with stable bloodlines are the "Snake-Headed Eight Families" under the sunlight.

The "White King" hybrids with unstable bloodlines were driven into the darkness and became the "Fierce Demons".

Humans yearn to remain humans forever, but ghosts do not wish to remain ghosts forever!

Throughout history, "ghosts" have tried various methods to resolve their bloodline issues, and their ultimate conclusion is:

"The one who tied the knot must untie it."

Since the bloodline defect originates from the White King, the solution also depends on the White King.

However, the White King was already dead, and his remains had been placed in the "Divine Burial Ground." Given the conditions at the time, it was completely impossible to take his remains out.

The Ghost Clan was once plunged into despair, with many members going mad and causing destruction everywhere.

Until a genius appeared among the group of "ghosts," who proposed an idea that still seems crazy today:

"Artificial White King!" (Note 1)

To describe the creation of gods as something akin to sculpting dolls—that's quite something, considering it's the work of the "Fierce Demon Clan."

What's even more outrageous is that this group of lunatics, the "Ghosts," actually accepted the idea.

They made various attempts throughout the next thousand years of history, until Herzog became the "King" and completely controlled the Demons.

The Ghost Clan's strategy has now changed back to "Resurrect the White King".

However, thousands of years of research cannot be easily erased. Although the "artificial white king" project has ended, it has left behind a lot of legacy, the most core and essential of which are the thirteen "experimental subjects".

In his previous life, Lin Zhiying participated in the extermination of the "Number Five" test subject. Although he gained a great deal, the rain of blood and flesh left a deep shadow on him.

His body was trembling slightly. If it really was that guy, it would explain why this place had become ruins. It was possible that half of the old town had been destroyed!

Even if it only possesses a trace of "divinity," it is still a god! It is an existence equivalent to a pure-blooded dragon!

That's definitely not something that a few players who haven't even left the starting village can solve!

"Come with me now, don't ask why, I won't hurt you."

With that thought in mind, he grabbed "Five-Second Hand Speed" and "One-Cut Water" and headed outside without hesitation.

When he passed by Genjiro, he didn't know whether he should talk to him or not.

In his previous life, he was most likely the monster that Genji defeated, but he had no idea what price he paid.

However, he quickly realized that no matter what, Genjiro would not leave. Even if he told him about the dangers, he would still choose to stay because he was a "friend of justice"!

"careful."

Lin Zhiying said to Yuan Zhisheng.

Genji nodded to him, then suddenly spoke, pointing to Inuyama Yoshiko on the ground:

"Take her out with you."

Yuan Zhisheng lied to Lin Zhiying.

He didn't hear a human heartbeat on the second floor, but he did hear an unusual roaring sound.

The voice gradually became stronger and stronger.

It was as if something was gradually awakening from its slumber.

Just now, he heard that guy move.

"One-Cut Water" immediately stepped forward, carried Inuyama Yoshiko on his back, and after leaving the teahouse, he asked Lin Zhiying with some doubt, "Boss, that guy is so arrogant, who is he?"

Lin Zhiying slowly opened his mouth and uttered three words: "Yuan Zhisheng".

"Minamoto no child?!"

"Holy crap, why is he here? Is it because we performed too well at this base?"

"One cut through water," he said excitedly.

Lin Zhiying didn't know how to explain it to him for a moment.

Well, let him be happy for a while longer. Once the base is gone, he probably won't be happy anymore.

"Can you feel the ground shaking?"

"Five seconds of hand speed," he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the alarms of all the electric vehicles parked around him suddenly went off.

"Beep beep beep."

An even bigger change occurred in the teahouse; a large hole appeared between the ceilings of the second and first floors at some point.

A bizarrely shaped figure poked its head out from above, its mouth torn open in a sinister smile, its hands at its sides, and its body covered in a sticky, amniotic fluid-like substance.

The moment the monster appeared, Genji leaped up from the ground, his Spider Cutter drawing a semicircle in the air as he looked at the strange man.

The monster's head snapped off and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of blood. Strangely, a new head quickly grew back on the mangled head.

The ceiling above made a series of thumping sounds, as if someone was constantly banging on it. Finally, the ceiling could not withstand the pressure and collapsed completely.

Even before this, Genji had been watching the monster slowly retreat.

As the cement smoke dissipated, Lin Zhiying and the others saw the monster's true form. The strange creature they had seen earlier was not alone; there were seven other beings like it.

They are connected together and actually form a whole!

The eight heads were the monster's heads, the eight bodies were the monster's necks, and behind them was a gigantic body made up of countless piles of flesh and blood.

"What...what kind of monster is that?!"

"A single cut can sever water," he asked in surprise.

"A flesh-and-blood version of Yamata no Orochi." (Note 2)

Lin Zhiying began to explain, tilting his head as he added:

"Of course, it's also my experience pack."

....................................

Note 1:

In the original story, the "Fierce Ghosts," or "ghosts" in general, have existed for thousands of years, while the "White King" was thrown into a trench thousands of meters underground. Under the conditions at the time, it was certainly impossible to retrieve him.

So, would the "ghost" have done nothing for thousands of years? I think not, which is why the "artificial White King" is such a reasonable extension (if you want to say it's unreasonable, then blame Xuanyu Company, as this is a monster they added).

Note 2:

Yamata no Orochi is a monster in Japanese mythology. Susanoo killed it and found the "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi" behind its tail (of course, in the original work, they each have different identities).
