Chapter 1 Controlling the Shenlong?

Li Ang's voice didn't have a trace of fluctuation, "Just you?"

This question wasn't meant to be mocking. If what Jijiu said was true, and the Shenlong could protect and maintain the Qiumo Cave with its own strength,

then, setting aside the specific reasons and justification for Tan Hua controlling the Shenlong,

even just discussing the feasibility,

how could a mere low-level player with a broken body, trapped in a deathmatch mission, control a Shenlong?

"Those who came to participate in this deathmatch mission were indeed only me and Zhijue, but this Wraith Demon lying here is also a part of the plan.

"A high-level member of the Tan Hua organization told me that we would encounter a pair of demon combinations in this mission, and their goal was also to enter the Mist Realm. I could cooperate with them for a period of time before entering the Mist Realm, clear out the other players in the deathmatch mission, and remove obstacles for the plan."

Jijiu slowly said, "As for how to control the Shenlong, they didn't tell me the specific steps, but only said to take the Bafang Mingyue Palace Lantern from the entrance of the Mist Realm and enter the Mist Realm,

and then I would naturally find those Tan Hua members who were already in the Mist Realm before the mission started."

Li Ang's heart stirred, "All the Tan Hua drug patients who mysteriously disappeared from the various strongholds of the Special Affairs Bureau?"

"That's right."

Jijiu pursed his lips, "Tan Hua is not a charity organization. Taking out all kinds of potions is not to cultivate a group of useless people, but to completely exploit them.

"As early as before the mission started, a high-level member of Tan Hua used an anomalous item left over from the Kuiyang Sect to enter each stronghold and take away the Tan Hua patients, directly entering the Mist Realm to prepare for a ritual."

He paused, and said quietly, "The deeper you go into the Qiumo Cave, the more terrifying and hideous the demons there become, strange and indescribable.

"Even the Shenlong, which is born with the ability to create illusions, cannot completely avoid being eroded by the terrifying atmosphere there.

"Therefore, the Shenlong wears a crown, which is the Moon God Crown mentioned in this mission, to avoid being polluted and assimilated by the demon aura.

"The content of the ritual held by Tan Hua in the Mist Realm is to use the deaths of those infected to pollute the Moon God Crown, and then control the Shenlong."

Jijiu glanced at the palace lantern floating in mid-air, and said, "According to the fragmentary records left by the Kuiyang Sect, the Shenlong lives in the lowest level space of the Qiumo Cave, blocked by a door of solidified mist.

"The prerequisite for the ritual is to rely on the Bafang Mingyue Palace Lantern to open the door.

"At this moment, they should already be outside the door, starting the ritual and waiting for me to send the Bafang Mingyue Palace Lantern in.

"In other words, if you want to rescue those Tan Hua infected, you must use the Bafang Mingyue Palace Lantern to rush to the ritual site."

Almost imperceptibly, Liu Wudai clenched his fists slightly, and the breathing of Huijin and Chuyin quickened by half a beat.

Liu Wudai's father, Liu Kejian, was among the group of Tan Hua infected, and along with them were many ordinary people who were simply lured, bewitched, or even deliberately framed by others.

Both emotionally and rationally, these Tan Hua infected could not be abandoned.

"Huff"

Seeing that the players present were silent, Jijiu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued, "More importantly, the agreement between the Shenlong and the Ancient Anomalous Academy has expired, and it is pushing the Mist Realm to return to its original position.

"At that time, the Mist Realm will expand to the scope of Yin City, completely遮蔽everything.

"The outermost layer of low-level demons, whose bloodlines have been mixed for countless generations and exist in large numbers, will be the first to break free due to the low strength of the seal, and will freely roam in the Mist Realm.

"The fact that these demons are low-level is only relative to other great demons. For ordinary people, they are still terrifying and powerful monsters.

"This is also the reason why the Bafang Mingyue Palace Lantern warns players in the deathmatch mission to quickly take the lantern and escape from Yin City, which is about to be swallowed by the Mist Realm.

"The worst thing is that if the Shenlong completes the agreement, leaves the Qiumo Cave and goes east,

"then the Mist Realm will completely dissipate, revealing the original appearance of the Qiumo Cave—the demon aura that escapes from it cannot be stopped at all, and without the Shenlong's suppression and erosion, the powerful demons inside will run out sooner or later!

"The strength of all existing players or hidden organizations is far from enough to contend with the millions of demons with strange abilities.

"That will be a disaster-level demonic tide."

A bitter look appeared on Jijiu's face, "Speaking of which, it's also ridiculous. The Ancient Anomalous Academy arbitrarily used demons for biological experiments, artificially breeding various strange and bizarre demon species, including many natural biological weapons.

"According to the Anomalous Academy's vision, they would eventually be able to completely control the demons through artificial breeding and inducement, making them controllable forces like pet cats and dogs.

"However, the Anomalous Academy miscalculated the rise and fall time of the Killing Game, directly losing a large number of bamboo slip documents and Daoist inheritance during the long and decisive trough, and even lost all the crucial Qiumo Cave intelligence.

"The various demons in the Qiumo Cave did not become a help as the Anomalous Academy had envisioned, but instead became the deadly demonic tide at hand."

""

Li Ang's brows furrowed together, "Tan Hua, is trying to save Yin City?"

"No, to be precise, repaying kindness with hatred, polluting the Shenlong, and saving Yin City are just a result of the Tan Hua organization achieving its goals."

Jijiu said, "Just like what I said just now, Tan Hua is not a tight-knit organization. Their middle and upper levels still hold selfish ideas.

"The upper echelons of Tan Hua don't care whether the demonic tide will come or not. Their real idea is to control the Shenlong and use the mist illusion created by the Shenlong to forever maintain their superior status!"

Jijiu recited, "What is immortal, what do the giants guard.

"The Shenlong is the only true dragon left in the world, and it can be said to be the most powerful transcendent creature still active in the world today.

"At a time when other transcendent elements have not yet fully awakened, as long as the Shenlong is controlled, they can be invincible in the Killing Game—other forces simply have no way to contend with the Shenlong.

"In addition, they can also control the Qiumo Cave, like the Ancient Anomalous Academy, arbitrarily taking the mixed-blood demons inside for research, mastering the treasure trove of biomedical and biological weapons, and gaining military hegemony.

"Finally, the mist illusion created by the Shenlong, which is enough to deceive the world, can also create a utopia that meets all the needs of the Tan Hua nobles, and perpetuate their rule forever.

"It can be said that once this one-stone-three-birds plan is realized, even the Special Affairs Bureau will not be able to stop it, and can only sit back and watch Tan Hua occupy the Qiumo Cave under the pressure of the demonic tide and the Shenlong."
