Chapter 18 Calamity Unleashed

"Okay," Ba said, smiling as she glanced at Li Ang. "Actually, I can see what's happening outside from in here. You guys were arguing about how to pollute Shui Yun's crown, weren't you?"

Before Li Ang could start lying with a straight face, Han Ba waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care. "That bunch of Taoist priests from the Extraordinary Association guessed what would happen a long time ago and specially hired me to stay here.

"Besides, even without me, the ritual of a mere ten thousand people wouldn't have any effect on Shui Yun—over the years, I've eaten almost all the demonic aura upstairs, leaving nothing to spare.

"And Shui Yun herself is a master of illusions. To affect her, you'd need another hundred thousand people or so.

"Whatever the Extraordinary Association or the Kuiyang Sect told you, they lied.

"Or rather, they themselves, whose legacies are almost completely severed, don't know the specifics."

At this point, Ba sighed with an air of world-weariness that didn't match her appearance at all, and said casually, "Ugh, to dare plot against us, how vicious.

"But considering that they're almost all dead now, I won't go and exterminate their entire families.

"If it were the old me, I wouldn't care about sentimentality. I'd go straight to their tombs and have a disco on their graves, mixing their ashes with rice."

It was quite incongruous to hear a mythical deity from legends use the internet slang "disco on their graves," but considering that she said she could see fragments of the outside world through the fog realm, it wasn't surprising.

Li Ang pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Then where are you going now?"

"Wherever Shui Yun wants to go."

Ba said casually, "If those people from the Extraordinary Association didn't lie to us, the last batch of Dragon Descendant bloodlines should have been placed somewhere. When she wakes up, I'll accompany her to take care of those dragon cubs—or maybe they'll be dragon eggs.

"Uh, speaking of which, if they're dragon eggs, I wonder if Shui Yun will hatch them..."

Perhaps it was because of her long confinement, or perhaps it was her nature, but Ba's words were always disjointed, often drifting off into the distance.

"What about the Prisoner Demon Cave? Will the demons here escape?"

"Hmm..."

Han Ba thought for a moment and replied casually, "What do you think the Prisoner Demon Cave is? A stable and unbreakable prison? A high-tech animal laboratory?

"This thing has its own consciousness, okay?

"It was originally a living being that the Extraordinary Association got from somewhere and forcibly transformed into a prison.

"After so long, it has long since developed its own consciousness. It's just that it was restrained by the Extraordinary Association's formations and couldn't escape.

"After that bunch of Taoist priests from the Extraordinary Association died, it has been secretly using those demons to do mysterious things in corners that Shui Yun and I can't see.

"Rather than saying that Shui Yun and I are low-level jailers,

"It would be better to say that Shui Yun, I, and the Prisoner Demon Cave itself are just prisoners."

Ba smiled mockingly and said slowly, "The time limit that the Extraordinary Association set for us is not just the time limit for Shui Yun and I to leave,

"It's also the day that the Extraordinary Association's formations completely fail.

"The Prisoner Demon Cave, which has its own consciousness, can be regarded as a prison with legs, and it will escape from here sooner or later.

"Oh, by the way, this thing's way of thinking is completely different from that of individual lives, and it can't be said to be strong or weak—it is the embodiment of the rules of the demonic tide,

"Even Shui Yun and I can't influence it at all, let alone directly destroy it—just like you humans can't permanently eliminate a hurricane.

"It is an inevitable demonic tide disaster that will inevitably occur."

Li Ang took a deep breath and asked, "What exactly is the demonic tide like?"

"Millions of demons will come out of the cage in batches, right?"

Ba said uncertainly, "According to the restraints I placed on that bunch of Taoist priests, and my understanding of this thing,

"The weaker the demons, the easier it is to escape from here. The stronger ones, on the other hand, are difficult to get out—even the Prisoner Demon Cave itself can't directly release the monsters from the bottom few layers.

"Heh, this is good news for you. You have enough preparation time, and although there will be sacrifices, at least you don't have to worry about the entire civilization suddenly dying."

Li Ang pursed his lips. "Is there no way to stop the demonic tide?"

"No way."

Han Ba revealed a mocking smile. "Did you think that the Extraordinary Association hadn't thought about completely exterminating the demons?

"Hehe, demons can't be completely eliminated. They, like other things, are the cornerstones of the world.

"And I said, the Prisoner Demon Cave is a living being with its own consciousness. It is the embodiment of the demonic tide. Over the years, who knows how many secret spaces it has opened up in its body and how many demons it has bred and cultivated.

"Some of the new generation of demons are no weaker than those great demons from our era.

"Oh, by the way, don't expect Shui Yun and I to help you eliminate the demons here before we leave.

"If we do, we will directly destroy the restraints that the bunch of Taoist priests from the Extraordinary Association placed on the Prisoner Demon Cave.

"Moreover, Shui Yun and I were both tricked into coming here. There is no reason or obligation to help outside the contract period.

"According to the age of dragons, Shui Yun was only eight years old when she was tricked into being a jailer. The Taoist priests are really inhumane.

"What's more, when it comes to kinship, we are closer to the demons here than you are—although many of them are low-level hybrids artificially cultivated."

""

Li Ang was silent for a long time before asking the powerful mythical species that was as old as history itself, "Where will the Prisoner Demon Cave go after you leave?"

"Who knows? To the sky? To the sea?"

Ba said indifferently, "If you're lucky enough, maybe this thing will directly drill into the underground magma and give itself a bath inside and out.

"In short, notify everyone and get ready,

"It won't be long before the demonic tide arrives,

"I hope there will be less bloodshed this time..."

With that, Ba floated up and flew towards the mirage dragon lying on the palace, placing the candle in her hand below the mirage dragon's nostrils.

"Hoo—"

A distant and muffled breathing sound, like a bell ringing, resounded throughout the space.

The mirage dragon slowly opened its eyes, and Han Ba's figure was reflected in its bronze-colored vertical pupils.

"Roar—"

The mirage dragon slowly raised its head, opened its mouth, and let out a rumbling sound like thunder, majestic and solemn, but in reality, it looked like it was stretching after waking up.

Han Ba patted the dragon's jaw affectionately, flipped over, and sat on the dragon's forehead between its deer-like antlers.

"Oh, right."

Han Ba seemed to have thought of something and casually plucked a handful of blood-red mane from the dragon's back and threw it to Li Ang. "Consider this handful of stuff as your reward for helping to open the door."

Li Ang subconsciously took the solidified mane, which felt heavy and hot to the touch. Realizing something, he hurriedly said, "Wait! Are you also a player? Where did those players from the Killing Game in history go?!"

"Some are alive, some are dead, some are neither dead nor alive, and some are half-dead."

The Han Ba girl sitting on the dragon's back patted the mirage dragon's cheek. "I'm not a player, and I don't plan to become one.

"Heh, for you short-lived species, the qualification of a player is both an opportunity to come into contact with the extraordinary and a ticket to save the race,

"At the same time, it is a death warrant that cannot be escaped or avoided.

"If you want to know more, wait for those previous generations of transcendents to crawl out of the ground,

"Or look for the records of the Extraordinary Association, if they dare to record that kind of desperate truth..."

The sound of the mirage dragon rising from the building complex covered up Han Ba's words.

The magnificent and indescribably huge Eastern dragon stretched its long body, which was half-substantial and half-misty, to its heart's content. Its dark golden dragon claws unconsciously scraped, causing palace after palace to collapse.

The wind howled, and the clouds and mist spread. The mirage dragon rose into the air as if slowly but actually quickly, drilled out of the mist gate, and rushed straight into the sky along the trench!

The Han Ba girl sitting on the dragon's back broke through all the obstacles in the Prisoner Demon Cave with her friend.

She laughed wantonly, driving the power in her blood to her heart's content, releasing endless light and scorching heat waves.

In the Prisoner Demon Cave, countless demons were turned to ashes under the sun-like light and heat.

Only a very few demons with natural agility and swiftness were able to hide in dark corners before the light and heat arrived, shivering for this magnificent power of the mythical life.

Boom—

In the real world, the Special Affairs Bureau agents guarding Qianhua Road heard a cracking sound from the void.

All the fully armed soldiers watched in stunned silence as a giant dragon emerged from the depths of the mist, flying into the sky with a whistling wind!

That night, the entire human race in Yin City, East Asia, and the Eastern Hemisphere,

All looked up at the moon, urged by countless ringing tones.

A black spot appeared on the moon.
