The stars in the Land of Slumber seemed brighter than anywhere else, untouched by the pollution of industrialization.
Wen Wen looked up at the sky, feeling increasingly that among the Milky Way, there was a dense cluster of stardust, like a terrifying giant eye.
But after looking at it for too long, he no longer cared. Even if that thing was truly an eye, it had nothing to do with him, Detective Wen.
He casually kicked the head of Old Man Tian away. It splattered against the wall like a tomato and then flowed down.
In the outside world, Old Man Tian, relying on the Mist of Slumber, possessed a nearly immortal body. But here, he was merely a slightly stronger ghoul, so Wen Wen easily killed him completely.
Then, Wen Wen checked the time. The appearance of the Ghost Dragons was at midnight every night, from 11 PM to 1 AM. The time was almost there, and it was time for action on the other side. He could not continue wasting time here.
So, Wen Wen floated up and flew towards the main road of the Land of Slumber, where the Ghost Dragons would appear.
...
Seeing that the time was almost up, Fo Hai raised his straight eyebrows and then jumped in front of the black giant before him, shouting loudly.
"I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"
The black giant looked at Fo Hai as if he were crazy. It was not human to begin with.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Dharma Spell..."
Fo Hai raised a small car and smashed it directly onto the black giant's head. The black giant was smashed directly into a small shop next to it, killing the shop owner's family.
The black giant stood up, glaring at Fo Hai with fierce eyes, and quickly pursued Xu Hai.
Both it and Fo Hai possessed combat power at the Upper Order level, but the black giant was of the highest tier within the Upper Order, only a thread away from the True Order. Even Wen Wen was not confident that he could defeat several black giants simultaneously.
Fo Hai was relatively more average. He had no power to fight back against the black giant, but Fo Hai did not need to confront it head-on; he only needed to lure it to a certain place.
On the other end of the Land of Slumber, Tao Qingqing gave a signal to the strong man condensed from the white mist beside her. The strong man then ran foolishly in front of the black giant, jumped up, and chopped at the black giant's knee with his sword.
The black giant, in its rage, punched through the strong man, armor and all, but the strong man, with a large hole in his chest, acted as if nothing were wrong and quickly ran towards the main road.
The black giant, as expected, chased after the strong man of white mist. Tao Qingqing, following behind with the "Human Head Dog" in her arms, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
The Muyuan Community was neither small nor large. If one started luring monsters, it would only take a couple of minutes to reach the main road.
Wen Wen sat in front of a fruit stall, chilling a watermelon with his ice ability, waiting for the Ghost Dragons to appear.
He was curious about the difference between these so-called Ghost Dragons and the Evil Dragons he encountered in the Qiling Mountains.
With a chaotic roar, something at the end of the road seemed to be opened, and then a ferocious dragon head emerged from the void.
This dragon head was as thin as skin and bones, with no flesh and blood, only ferocious scales and whiskers. It possessed none of the majesty befitting a dragon, only an eerie and sinister aura.
Then came the tattered dragon body. If the dragon head still had some semblance of a dragon, the dragon body was extremely pathetic.
Not to mention one of its claws was missing, its ten-meter-long body was missing claws, scales were falling off, and in some places, bones were exposed. Its tail was also short by a section.
However, the blue-green flames burning on its body, and the almost solidified dragon might, indicated that this Ghost Dragon possessed even greater strength than that Evil Dragon!
Wen Wen estimated that before he himself advanced to the Upper Order and possessed True Order strength, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat such a Ghost Dragon.
Then came the second, the third... until nine Ghost Dragons emerged from the void, putting more pressure on Wen Wen, causing him to eat two more pieces of watermelon.
If he were to fight these beasts himself without using any unconventional methods, he estimated that five or six of them combined could match him. With nine of them together, while they might not be able to keep Wen Wen, he certainly wouldn't be able to win.
Then came the piercing sound of metal grinding against the ground. A bronze coffin, over ten meters long, was pulled out by the nine dragons.
The one lying in this coffin should be Luo Feng, the Son of Heaven of Bei Yin. Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from within, if he could come out and move, Wen Wen might not be his opponent. That was why Wen Wen wanted to play the trick of the鹬蚌相争 (snipe and clam fight) and the fisherman benefiting.
The Ghost Dragons howled a few times, and the ghouls living near the main road, like startled beasts, fled from their lairs, keeping their distance from the area where the Ghost Dragons were.
These Ghost Dragons were not as gentle as those black giants. Any creature they discovered would be attacked by them.
Wen Wen, casually eating watermelon, was truly conspicuous on this bare main road.
However, the Ghost Dragons did not notice Wen Wen. Instead, they turned their gaze in another direction. A strong man carrying a giant sword, with a hollow body, was running towards them in a sorry state, then jumped up, intending to cut the bronze chains on the Ghost Dragons.
But as soon as he jumped, five streams of blue-green dragon flames were spewed out, directly melting the strong man's body. The residual flames rushed towards the black, long-limbed, tall-bodied giant in a suit behind the strong man.
The giant's joints twisted, and it flexibly crawled away from its original position, instantly climbing onto the window of another building.
The flames burned where the giant had been, and the entire building quickly melted under the flames.
Tao Qingqing, hiding in the distance, patted her chest, feeling fortunate that she had not gotten too close, otherwise, she might have been directly killed by the aftershocks.
The black giant, after dodging the attack, intended to leave immediately, but soon saw its other brother also charging over in a frenzy.
Its brother was chasing a disheveled monk, who was throwing things behind him as he ran, making him extremely annoying.
Since these black giants all looked the same, the first black giant that appeared was called the Eldest Black, and the second one naturally became the Second Black.
The Second Black was usually serene. If it hadn't been for the car being thrown at it, it wouldn't have chased so far. Now, seeing its elder brother and those annoying long worms, it naturally understood that someone was trying to artificially create a conflict between its brothers and the Ghost Dragons.
So, the Second Black quickly stopped, preparing to withdraw from here. But just then, a person suddenly appeared behind it, which was Wen Wen, who had been eating watermelon earlier.
Black chains wrapped around its limbs, and an irresistible giant force came from the chains, flinging it towards the Ghost Dragons.
"Go!"
The Ghost Dragons didn't care what the Second Black thought and directly spewed out flames.
After all, whoever blocked their way was their enemy.
Life and death are trivial, dare to fight! We, the Nine Ghost Dragons, only want to kill all of you present, or be killed by all of you!
