Chapter 696 Who killed Ao Hong?
"What? Ao Hong is dead?"
Back in the group, Cangnian informed Yang Tianhuang of the news.
Upon hearing the news, Yang Tianhuang was shocked, but instead of feeling relieved, he became even more vigilant.
Cangnian once said that the Dragon King has the Dragon Palace guarded by him, which is the last safe haven. It is best not to offend him, because if you do, you must kill him.
Yang Tianhuang was initially wary of Ao Hong's escape.
But I didn't expect the other person to die so quickly.
But this did not make Yang Tianhuang relax; instead, it made him even more wary.
It was foreseeable that Ao Hong would hate himself; it was obvious.
But the powerful figure who killed Ao Hong, or rather, a group of powerful figures, appeared and disappeared without a trace, so mysterious that even Cang Nian could not find any trace of them.
The unknown, hidden, and powerful forces are even more frightening.
The former is still somewhat predictable, and can be prepared in advance.
However, the latter only knew of the other party's existence, but did not know how many powerful individuals the other party had, what each of them was good at, or what their stance was.
This is terrible.
"All we can do is remember that there is such a hidden force to guard against."
The other party may simply want to hunt Ao Hong and eat its flesh to evolve.
However, it's quite strange that such a powerful force had absolutely no reputation before this.
Cang Nian nodded and then offered his suggestion.
He had no direct conflict with Ao Hong, nor was it a life-or-death feud, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to take action against Ao Hong.
But the fact that Ao Hong died, and that it was done by an unknown powerful figure or an unknown force, made him uneasy.
The naturally occurring evolutionary resources of a region are limited.
Unless artificially cultivated, the very existence of an exceptionally powerful force that has yet to gain any recognition is quite strange.
But now, there's no way to find them. The reinforcements from the capital, the survivors from Shanghai, and the Northeast Allied Forces of the Dragon Kingdom can only remain on guard.
……
Putting that issue aside, the reinforcements from the capital, carrying news of their victory, returned to the survivor base in Shanghai, laden with spoils.
Then came a torrent of gratitude.
Among the survivors in Shanghai, some wept bitterly, some laughed wildly, and some simply clung to something, silently shedding tears.
The disaster that ravaged the survivor base in Shanghai for more than a month has finally come to an end.
Those vicious beasts that killed and ate their relatives and friends have been brought to justice!
Some people feel exhilarated because they have gotten their revenge.
However, some people regret not having taken revenge themselves.
But more often than not, the grief is amplified because the deceased are gone and the established facts of grief cannot be changed.
However, the annihilation of the dragon army meant that the survivors of Shanghai, who had previously worried about whether they would see the sun rise the next day, no longer had to live in fear, which was ultimately a cause for celebration.
That day, Shanghai dispatched a group of powerful individuals to accompany the capital's experts in transporting the corpses of the fallen dragon warriors back to the base.
On Cangnian's side, although he did not personally take action, the powerful Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom managed to kill a group of fourth and fifth-tier dragons from the hands of the powerful figures in the capital.
Given the strength of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, it naturally treated them differently from other civilian evolutionary forces and did not care about military merits. The capital city did not dare to take away any of the fourth- or fifth-order dragon corpses killed by the strongmen of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
The other powerful figures from the various folk evolutionary forces in the capital were extremely envious of this.
The prey they kill is different from those in the exploration missions; they can't take anything away from it.
Apart from the prey belonging to the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, all other prey were confiscated, and military merits were accumulated based on the amount of strength each person contributed in the battle.
Then, military merits can be exchanged for corresponding resources.
But no matter how you calculate it, it's not enough to kill a fifth-tier powerhouse and obtain a fifth-tier evolution potion.
The capital city itself takes a cut, which is then used to train the capital city military region's own fifth-tier powerhouses.
However, even so, it is still much faster to accumulate military merits than to carry out land reclamation missions around the capital. The military merits gained in one major battle are equivalent to one or two months' worth!
Moreover, it's not very dangerous, so it's only because some fools are too greedy that they lose their lives.
Cangnian was quite satisfied with the fact that the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom had obtained the corpses of nearly twenty fifth-tier evolved creatures.
However, while the powerful figures in the capital were happy to be able to train more fifth-tier experts, Cang Nian only regarded these corpses as food.
With Tiger Girl around, evolution itself isn't difficult.
That evening, the entire city of Shanghai held a grand welcome banquet and victory celebration for the reinforcements from Beijing and for this victory.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Yang Tianhuang was not stingy either, generously offering a fifth-tier dragon as the main dish for the day, along with countless fourth-tier dragons.
"Ao Tian! It's all cooked! Aren't you coming to eat?"
In the huge plaza of the Shanghai survivor base, Meng Lan held up a fragrant grilled meat skewer, shook it at Ao Tian, and teased him.
"Get out of here! Don't try to poison my mind!"
I'm a dragon! The Dragon King!
What kind of logic is there in eating dragons?
What's the difference between this and letting humans eat each other?
If it weren't for Tiger's sake, I would have definitely beaten you up!
Seeing Meng Lan's smug look, Ao Tian swallowed hard and cursed angrily.
"But you look so hungry!"
Menglan stared with her dark little eyes, her expression strange.
"Meat is the same as meat!"
They smell delicious when they're baked!
If I were grilling panda meat in front of you, you'd definitely be drooling!
Upon hearing this, Ao Tian felt a little embarrassed, swallowed hard, and then defended himself.
"It's a pity there are too few pandas in the capital. In the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, some were eaten by other animals in the zoo, and some were scared to death. Now I'm the only one left!"
Hearing this, Menglan wasn't angry, but rather looked rather forlorn.
Pandas are inherently very rare.
Because of their poor adaptability to the environment, even though many zoos in major cities of the Dragon Kingdom have panda enclosures, they might perish during the spiritual energy revival unless they evolve.
There were originally more than a dozen pandas in the entire capital, but now only this one is still alive.
The situation is similar in several large states surrounding the capital. Before the spiritual energy revival, there were pandas, but the revival brought earthquakes and the emergence of powerful evolved creatures. Pandas, being fragile creatures, would easily disappear if they did not evolve.
"Heh...hehe, don't be sad. You don't have any of your kind in the capital, but you might have some in Shanghai!"
If there aren't any in Modu, there must be many more in Shuzhou!
So, are you looking for a wife now? And that's why you're thinking about your own clan?
Seeing Menglan's expression, Aotian, who had never gotten along with her, couldn't bear to say anything hurtful and offered words of comfort.
However, as it talked, its husky personality kicked in, and it went off-topic in just a few sentences.
"Get lost! You're the one who wants to find a wife!"
Menglan felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and then angrily retorted.
