Chapter 1633: Opening

Numerous figures sat down with a rustle.

Most of those who came to Jinghong Tower to watch the play were old people or children. At this time, the young people with mild symptoms were all queuing at Mr. Han's medical hall, and those here now were mostly critically ill and didn't have many days left...

They should have been resting at home, but the temptation of the cake was too great. In this world, if one could eat a piece of cake before dying of illness, it could be considered a life without regrets.

As everyone sat down, Jinghong Tower fell into a brief silence. Just as the crowd below was whispering, a series of crisp gong and drum sounds erupted from the stage.

A red-clothed opera singer stood on the stage, hands behind his back, as if looking into the distance...

At this moment.

Kong Baosheng's whole body began to tremble.

He saw it...

Did he really see it?

Just now, the scene on the stage seemed to have been transmitted directly into his mind. He could clearly see every corner of the stage, every expression of the opera singer, even more clearly than when his eyes were healthy!

Before this, Kong Baosheng's world had been dark for too long. When he saw the painted face of Chen Ling appear from the darkness, his emotions went out of control. He sat blankly in his place, like a statue.

"Brother Zhao! My good virtuous brother! You... why are you still leaning on the railing here, gazing foolishly at the smoke of war? The iron hooves of the Hu soldiers are like bamboo being split, already approaching within a hundred miles! This Watching Spring Terrace... is no longer the spring terrace of the past, but has become broken walls and ruins! If we don't leave now, when will we? Do you want to sit and wait for the steel knives of the Hu barbarians to be placed on our necks?!"

Li Muyun, carrying a travel pack, hurried onto the stage from the side. Seeing Zhao Ziqian still gazing into the distance, he shouted anxiously.

"Brother Yun! Don't be impatient! Look, although the smoke and dust are fierce, they cannot cover the bright universe! General Lin is loyal and righteous, and his command of troops is like a god! At this moment, he must have led our Shenzhou Tiger Troops, traveling through the stars and moon, rushing to our aid overnight! The moment the long spear in his hand points, it will be the time when the Hu barbarians lose their courage..."

“……”

The voices of the two echoed on the stage, their movements vivid, their expressions just right. Kong Baosheng was too familiar with the play script he had written. Even though he knew every line of dialogue by heart, he was still watching the stage with full concentration, waiting foolishly for the development of the story.

And the other audience members under the stage at this time were not so patient.

Gurgle—

Hunger filled their bodies. Critically ill, they watched the performance on stage, which they didn't understand and weren't interested in, and couldn't help but whisper to each other in low voices.

……

A-Qiang's figure was running on the streets of the Cangyun Realm.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that while he was running, something was following him in the nearby soil or flower beds...

This made him, who was already tense, even more uneasy. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead, and his face was somewhat pale.

Just then, a series of figures appeared on the street not far away...

Is it Divine Doctor Mr. Han's clinic?

At this time, the entrance to the clinic was already full of people waiting in line. Although it wasn't time for the clinic to open yet and Mr. Han hadn't arrived, the people in line already occupied most of the street. One Dragon-Twisting Warrior after another was maintaining order, and Tu Tian was still standing at the very front of the queue with a cold face, looking at the crowd with an oppressive feeling.

Seeing this scene, A-Qiang felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He rushed to Tu Tian's front at high speed...

"No cutting in line!"

Seeing someone rush over directly, Tu Tian shouted seriously.

"It... it's not cutting in line..." A-Qiang said, panting. "I... I found traces of some monsters in the realm!"

Tu Tian, who was preparing to throw this "impolite and uncultured" citizen to the end of the line, was suddenly stunned when he heard this.

"What did you say?"

"It's true!! It seems to be the monster that attacked our realm before!"

"Where did you see it?"

"I found it in the flower bed by the road while I was walking just now... But I feel like it's been following me!"

Tu Tian's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

The Turbid Disaster was extremely weak now, and the Cangyun Realm had Lord Cangyun sitting in town. No matter how stupid the Bitter Flesh Turbid Forest was, it wouldn't launch an attack at this time... And if those calamities were really lurking and ready to sneak attack the realm, how could they be suddenly discovered by an ordinary person?

It didn't make sense logically either...

"Go, check all the soil and flower beds in the vicinity!" Even so, Tu Tian didn't directly deny A-Qiang, but immediately had the Dragon-Twisting Warriors around him investigate the nearby soil.

Although the few Dragon-Twisting Warriors were confused, they still followed Tu Tian's request and searched all around.

At the same time,

Pheromones unique to communication between plants were being transmitted at high speed.

【You idiot!! It’s all your fault for being so hesitant; now you’ve let this human run all the way here alive!】

【And what else was I supposed to do? There were people everywhere along the way. If we had tried to kill him by force, we definitely would have been discovered!】

【When it comes down to it, isn't it because you exposed your tracks right in front of him!】

【I couldn't help it!! In that split second, the scent drifting through the air was just too fragrant... that creamy floral scent... Oh my god! Just one whiff and my spores were already starving and desperate!!】

【That really can't be blamed on it; that scent was too tempting... Even I almost couldn't hold back just now.】

【Then what do we do now? They’ve tracked us down! The traces we left in the soil will be exposed sooner or later!】

【There’s no choice. The King should have already made a move on their side. Let’s fight them to the death!!】

*Whoosh—!!*

Just as one of the Dragon-Twisting Soldiers walked into the corner, preparing to turn over the soil below to take a closer look, a blurred shadow of flesh and blood suddenly lunged out from the ground!

Its speed was too fast, and its appearance too sudden; the Dragon-Twisting Soldier had no preparation whatsoever, and in the next second, his head was severed!

The thumping sound of the human head hitting the ground startled Tu Tian and A-Qiang, who were talking not far away...

They turned their heads to look at the same time.

In the next second,

A bloody, monstrous foxtail grass flashed right in front of A-Qiang!

*Bang—!!!*

A-Qiang’s pupils contracted violently. He didn't even know what had happened before his entire chest exploded, and hideous, terrifying grass roots had already pierced through his flesh... This was the revenge of a Calamity driven by shame and anger!

A terrifying aura erupted from Tu Tian’s body. He roared in fury and smashed a fist directly toward the swirling foxtail grass!

The foxtail grass was incredibly fast. After killing A-Qiang in an instant, it nimbly tried to dodge the punch... but it still underestimated Tu Tian’s strength. Even though it had already left the trajectory of the punch, the wind from Tu Tian’s fist, which stirred the very void, still tore most of its form to shreds!

But at the same time, from several other hidden flower beds, several more shadows of the Bitter-Flesh Turbid Forest swarmed out, rushing toward the Dragon-Twisting Soldiers!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

"Notify the Cangyun Domain! Emergency alert!!"
