Chapter 279: Reunion with the Bat, Mysterious Undercurrents_2
The entire world seemed to pause at this moment, the black-clothed youth standing at the door of the flying device, overlooking the earth, looking toward the warehouse behind him.
"Under my nose..."
"What do you want to do?"
The deep voice should have dissipated in mid-air, but at this moment, it resounded in everyone's hearts.
Peng Gang barely came to his senses and hurriedly turned his head to look.
He could see the Blood Pool suddenly stirring.
The hooded envoy in the black robe, who had disappeared a moment ago, was actually hiding there, using some means to shield the magnetic field and energy scans.
And now, restricted by a powerful pressure, the opponent could no longer hide, his trembling body and clicking bones forced him to reveal himself.
Surrounded by dark light and blood-like tides flickering around him, the serpent-shaped scepter emitting eerie light quickly dimmed, almost twisting.
Crack, crack, crack!!
The cracked warehouse cement floor spread, and the hooded envoy named Lea in the pool of blood looked with horror and resentment at the figure in mid-air.
Just a little more!
Just a little more, and he could have summoned the Winged Serpent King to this place!!
The furious roar could only echo in his heart, as he struggled desperately but could not resist.
Boom!!
Until, at last, a figure fell, the ground shaking.
In the depression of the shattered ground, the black-clothed youth rose on his knees, stepping on the debris, standing on the edge of the blood pool.
Looking down indifferently, he actually frowned slightly.
"What meager nourishment."
The panel in front of him floated out, although the collection of Snake Spirit Power was successful, it was hindered by the weakness of these cultists, not amounting to much.
So... looking at the envoy before him, Chen Feng slowly raised his hand.
"Great Winged Serpent King!!"
"Please, kill him!!!"
The hooded envoy within the blood pool suddenly shouted, the flesh on his body melting rapidly.
The human eyes turning into serpent eyes were filled with spite and curses, his face distorted, scales shedding quickly, exposing tendons and bones through rotting flesh.
He had chosen to sacrifice himself, hoping to exchange for the advent of the Winged Serpent King.
In an instant, the blood pool began to boil with bubbles, a gigantic vortex suddenly appearing within.
A powerful aura arose invisibly, as if some terrifying creature was about to awaken.
Splat!!
At the critical moment, a streak of red flashed by.
The mutated serpent-scaled head exploded with a roar, and the life about to be sacrificed died instantly.
The ritual was interrupted, the awakening powerful aura came to an abrupt halt, and in the distance, Peng Gang and others stood rigid, their expressions greatly changed, barely snapping back to reality.
"Want to come to my world?"
Standing calmly, his right arm red as fire, enveloped constantly.
The black trench coat moved without wind, Chen Feng lowered his eyes, looking at the halted decomposing corpse, as well as that vortex seemingly to emerge within the blood pool.
"Did I agree to that?"
He could perceive a certain abnormal presence, existing between Earth Star and some otherworldly space.
Seeming ready to truly appear at any moment, yet still lacking, unable to continue.
Roar!!
As if feeling provoked, a tremendous roar echoed across the heavens and earth.
Everyone felt their eardrums ache, the wind rose sharply.
The already war-torn factory exploded, shattering countless items, with figures hurriedly dodging.
Only the young man in the black trench coat remained standing, watching the turbulent blood pool gather, forming a dormant and coiled blood-red winged serpent.
The deceased envoy Lea suddenly stood up, visibly with blood and water surging, gathering on his headless corpse to form a serpent head, revealing a pair of eerie, cold, glowing snake eyes.
Seeing this scene, Peng Gang and others looked terrified, while some still-alive black-robed cultists showed excitement, shouting with agitation.
"Winged Serpent King!!"
"It's the Winged Serpent King!!"
That was one of the seven angels under the Snake God, descending now, that naturally....
Buzz!!!
Scorching heat exploded, a giant Holy Flame Sun rose into the air, hovering above Chen Feng's head.
Pure red, with a faintly hidden trace of white gold.
With icy gaze and eerie serpent eyes meeting, he could sense the so-called Winged Serpent King's external strength being weak inside.
The blood sacrifice ritual forcibly interrupted, and due to this, the opponent utterly unable to fully descend.
The ostentatious display was merely to assert its threatened authority.
Boom!!
Immediately, the Holy Flame Sun bloomed in mid-air, intense heat evaporating everything.
The roaring sound wanting to rise again, but the overpowering burning unstoppable.
In a flash.
The visible blood-red vapor swiftly disappeared, the decomposed reviving corpse burned to ashes on the ground.
A wisp of white vapor swirled upward, and the associated prompts of abundant Snake Spirit Power constantly emerged before his eyes.
Tap!
The black trench coat fell back calmly, and Chen Feng had already turned to walk away.
Everyone was shocked back to their senses and hurriedly looked over.
Inside the Blood Pool was empty, as if all the coldness and darkness had been swept away at this moment.
He walked out at a steady pace, finally brushing past Peng Gang who remained shocked, eyes wide open.
"Clean up the battlefield."
....
....
Buzz!
The wind whistled, and a bat the size of a palm flapped its wings, appearing within the Green Forest.
Its scarlet eyes gazed into the distance, where smoke rose from an abandoned factory and hooded figures were being killed on the spot.
A dozen flying cars clustered around two flying devices, with Transformed People and Mechanical Martial constantly appearing, either comforting and escorting the rescued humans or having them board the flying cars.
"It seems successful."
The bat's eyes flashed with a ghostly light as it took one last look at the black-clad youth emerging from the factory.
As if sensing something, the person suddenly halted and looked over.
A distance of at least seven or eight hundred meters lay between them, not to mention the tangled branches and shadows of the Green Forest that obscured its form.
"An unusual human."
The scarlet eyes memorized this person, noting that his Perception was indeed quite keen.
Though it didn't think he could discover it, just to be safe, the black bat chose to flap its wings and turn away.
Since the plan was successful, everything else could begin to move forward.
By that time.....
Whoosh!!!
A sound of piercing through the air echoed, and the black bat glanced.
A streak of White Gray flew in from the side, surprisingly a small winged stone creature similar in size to itself.
The distance between the two closed rapidly, and it felt something was wrong, its eyes filling with intense scarlet.
"Courting death!"
A spectral light covered its body, and it opened its mouth to emit a dark attack.
Whoosh!!
Compressed energy shot through the air like a bullet.
However, the next second.
The incoming White Gray suddenly expanded, covered in a sheen of Golden Patterns.
Clang!!
Sparks flew, and the dark light shattered.
The blood-colored bat's eyes widened, then saw that what was once a palm-sized stone creature had grown to a size of two meters.
A thick, robust stone wall lunged forward, all light instantly obscured, casting a massive shadow over itself.
Then.
Boom!!!
A dull explosion sounded as the black bat self-destructed into nothingness.
The view shared through its vision transmitted back, and Chen Feng stood at the entrance of the abandoned factory, a slight flicker in his eyes as he looked towards the Green Forest.
"Another bat...."
The first sighting was in the sewers, now here again nearby.
They didn't look like ordinary bat creatures and seemed to carry an air of mystery and coincidence.
"Councilman Chen?"
Peng Gang had just finished tidying the battlefield and came close.
Looking puzzled into the depths of the Green Forest, he saw nothing.
"This matter... needs further investigation."
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Feng's expression turned more serious.
He had a feeling something was off, and it might differ somewhat from his previous assumptions.
There might be other forces behind the Snake Spirit Sect.
Peng Gang, though puzzled, didn't inquire further.
Nodding solemnly, he promptly took on the task of follow-up investigation, assuring a timely report.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Pating his shoulder, only then did Chen Feng move again, boarding the descending flying device.
Sizzle! Click!
The cabin door closed, and a tailwind kicked up.
The many warriors in the combat squad raised their heads to watch him off, their eyes filled with fervor and reverence.
Silently sensing all this, Chen Feng settled into the leather seat inside the cabin, his gaze once again looking toward the Green Forest.
A thought crossed his mind, and small stone creature Number One quickly set out to follow his command, trying to track down any traces of the black bat's comings and goings.
