A greedy mouth broke through the surface of the river . Streams of water flowed down from the hollowed gaps of the lips, creating multiple waterfalls . The humongous pitch-black mouth looked like an entrance to the depths of hell .
"White Dragon," Ji Hanwu said casually .
The air froze instantly as if the world had stopped moving .
Accompanied by a crackling dragon roar, a white aquatic dragon's claws suddenly appeared from the depths of the river . Three dragon claws struck the gigantic mouth and left huge claw marks on it .
Fresh blood burst outward .
Incredible strength tore the gigantic mouth open .
A fog covered the surface of the river, cloaking the river in white mist .
"Again . Every time . There's fog, and we can't see the scene of the battle," the one-eyed general of the Yuzhou military area said with an uninterested expression . He then threw a half-eaten piece of watermelon into the rubbish bin beside him .
After that, he waved his hand and left the monitoring room . "There's no need to show me the infrared footage anymore, I'm bored of it!"
From afar, the fog covered the area above the river surface, blocking the line of sight . Visibility was less than five meters . On occasion, a huge shadow could vaguely be seen moving through the mists, accompanied by the roars of a dragon and a beast .
After some time, the sound gradually disappeared and calm returned to the river . A white shadow broke through the fog and flew towards Yuzhou City . The fog that covered the surface of the river also gradually vanished . The raging river continued roaring tirelessly .
On the river surface, the remains of a boat that was broken in half were left afloat, slowly sinking downwards…
A huge dark shadow floated on the river surface . Thick pools of fresh blood spread in the water before quickly being washed away by the waves .
In the lower stream of the Yangtze River, two large ships drove towards the area . All the staff on board the vessels wore white work overalls and moved everywhere on the ships . Two words were printed on the sides of the vessels . "Southern Sky . "
Several monkeys with bluish fur and carrying red bags sat on the ships' edges obediently . They shook their legs cleverly, wearing bell-type headphones while shaking their heads with the beat of the music . They looked extremely happy .
The ships gradually drew closer to the corpse floating in the river . Some staff members waved bamboo poles and hit the edge of the ship .
The blue monkeys obediently took off their headphones and carefully put them inside the red bags on their backs . They bent down and picked up the iron hooks on the edges of the ships, then leaped into the water .
The hooks were connected to thick alloy chains that sunk into the water steadily .
As the aftermath of the earlier battle was too big, no monsters dared to get close to the riverbed .
An employee who had just begun his work on the ship wondered what kind of music these monkeys listened to every day . They were high and energetic the entire day . He picked up a headphone and put it on his head . A familiar tune started ringing in his ear .
"Houge, Houge, you are awesome~ Even the five elements mountain failed to contain you . Out comes a Sun Wukong~"
The song was very catchy . The new employee could not help squinting his eyes before humming along .
In the river, the blue monkeys moved around agilely and keenly avoided several undercurrents . Finally, they swam up beside the monster's corpse, found a good spot, and firmly fixed the hooks on the joints of the monster's corpse before pulling at the chains . After confirming that the hooks and chains were firm, the blue monkeys swam to the surface and made a signaling sound .
The ships started moving slowly backward, and the chains extended, making clunking noises .
A few hooks that were not fixed firmly enough broke loose . The blue monkeys signaled to the ships to stop so that they could look for new areas to fix their hooks and chains . After several repeats, all the problems were finally resolved . So, the engines of the ships started .
The corpse of the Lord tier monster gave off a scent that scared away monsters and ensured that they were at least a dozen miles away . The blue monkeys crawled along the chains towards the ship deck . They then gently shook their bodies . The soaked armor-like fur that stuck to their bodies suddenly expanded outwards, releasing a shower of water droplets .
Their external layer of fur was soaked, but the internal layer of fur was still dry .
They put their headphones back on, then laid lazily on the ship deck, listening to the song that kept repeating itself while staring dumbly into the sky .
. . .
After getting off the plane, Uncle Liu called for the airport transport service, and they headed towards the Southern Sky Group . Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient for them to take a cab with all their familiars .
The Southern Sky Group headquarters was located in a suburban area, surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of land . It consisted not just of huge office buildings but factories as well .
The Southern Sky Group had also constructed some entertainment facilities in the surrounding areas . They used the headquarters of the group as a center that helped the economic development of the entire region .
The car stopped in front of the main entrance of the Southern Sky Group . The driver turned sideways and said helplessly, "I can't go further; the security of the Southern Sky Group is very strict . "
Uncle Liu chuckled and nodded to indicate that he understood . He then paid and signaled to Gao Peng and the familiars to get out of the car .
The Southern Sky Group was surrounded by tall, thick walls, and a layer of electrified wires wrapped the top of the walls .
A security guard was stationed on each side of the entrance . Beside the security guards were two familiars, which were rare plant familiars . The familiars crawled up the tall metal poles . Their strong, thick vines covered the metal poles like pythons, and on the surface of the vines were large white flower buds . The flower buds were sealed shut, and on the tip of each sealed bud, one could vaguely see a protruding sharp spike .
Gao Peng was left speechless . It seemed a little too wasteful since these plant familiars were Lord tier .
Uncle Liu walked forward and produced a blue identity card from his pocket . He then handed it to the security guard . The security guard swiped the card on a machine .
His face changed color almost immediately . He quickly nodded to Uncle Liu, and at the same time, he opened the large automatic door .
"Let's go . We'll go inside first and continue waiting . " Uncle Liu waved to Gao Peng . "Don't be so formal . Just treat this as your home, alright?"
Gao Peng nodded . "Alright . "
Laughter that someone had failed to contain came from behind them .
Gao Peng turned around and saw a lady in a red dress covering her mouth as she laughed . One could almost see wrinkles in the corner of her eye from her laughter .
The lady should at least be around 27 or 28 years old . Gao Peng thought about it seriously .
"Excuse me . " The face of the woman stiffened as she saw Gao Peng headed towards her . She forced her giggles down as she returned to her previously calm and cold demeanor .
"There's a waiting room inside the group headquarters . Please wait for me for a while in there . I know I promised to accompany you today, but there's an emergency at the group…" said a man wearing black casual overalls who stood beside the woman . He looked to be in his thirties .
"Okay, no problem . Work is more important . " The woman nodded and smiled .
After entering the group building, Uncle Liu took Gao Peng around the place twice, before finally going back to the same spot awkwardly .
Cough cough . "It seems like the place has changed a lot in the two years that I've been in Chang'an," Uncle Liu said awkwardly . He ignored the suspicious and vigilant gaze of the security guard at the main entrance and continued leading Gao Peng inside .
"See what I mean? I thought the employee building should be here, but now I don't think we've gone in this direction before . This Old Ji, he's almost turned the factory into a maze," Uncle Liu complained .
