The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 181
[Chapter 52 The shadow before dawn (3)]
Apart from the melodious music in my ears, there was almost no other sound. Pluto didn’t ask any questions anymore. It seemed that he had talked too much just now, and he seemed to be immersed in delicious food.
The two of them ate for about ten minutes, and Zhu Rong put down his knife and fork first. Pluto raised his head and glanced at him: “Doesn’t it taste good?”
“No, it’s very delicious.” Zhu Rong said seriously: “But I’ve already eaten it before coming here.” Pluto
nodded, took a few more bites, and then took the knife. Putting down the fork, he snapped his fingers and saw two maids walking outside the door and starting to clear the table.
Pluto looked at Zhu Rong’s reserved look and smiled slightly: “Then let’s do some exercises after meals.”
“Exercise after meals?” Zhu Rong asked doubtfully.
“Yes.” Pluto nodded: “Mamon and Yulia from the Star Alliance have already arrived. Because of Li Anping’s death, Daxia Longque has been eliminated early. The next step is our confrontation with the Star Alliance. Although the Queen has reached the third Sixth level, but if you are one-on-one, you may not be my opponent.” Pluto’s words revealed strong self-confidence, and an aura like a mountain, like the sea, and like a prison emerged from his body, making him One has to believe.
“But Mammon and Yulia obviously don’t think so, so it’s a warning to them.” At this point, before Zhu Rong understood what Pluto meant, he felt an astonishing thought energy coming out of Pluto’s body. come out.
The next moment, the thought energy was like a radar. It was retracted and returned immediately, but it instantly scanned all places within a radius of five kilometers.
“Haha, as expected, there are a lot of little bugs spying on us.” Pluto smiled and drank the red wine in the glass: “There are 56 people with abilities that are not ours. As an after-dinner exercise, let’s clean up.” Zhu Rong
stood He stood up, cupped his hands and said, “I obey.”
…
On a building one kilometer away, Li Qian was holding a military telescope and looking at the palace in the distance.
Roland on the side walked around uneasily and said to Li Qian: “Okay? This is the last place. Just leave after seeing it.” “Wait a minute.” Li Qian looked at the palace through the
telescope He looked at all the places he could see one by one: “There are a few last places for me to look at.” “
Be careful. If you see them, don’t look into their eyes. Many masters have very strong intuition, even if Just look at their eyes and they might be discovered.”
“I know, you have said it ten times.” Li Qian said angrily: “We are a whole kilometer away from them. There are so many people in the city, how can they find out? There’s a ghost out there.”
“Anyway, be careful, in case they find out…”
Luo Lan said something normal, and then he heard Li Qian make a sound.
“What’s wrong?”
“I found Zhu Rong!” Li Qian stared at the telescope and saw Zhu Rong eating with a black-haired man behind a floor-to-ceiling glass window. As a member of Daxia Longque, Li Qian has naturally seen Zhu Rong’s information. However, Pluto is too mysterious, and no one in Daxia Longque has ever seen his photo.
“Zhu Rong!” Hearing this name, Roland’s heart tightened. Facing this rebellious strong man, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
“Who is the man eating with him? It seems that his status is higher than that of Zhu Rong.” Li Qian said while constantly observing Zhu Rong and Pluto with the telescope. However, she didn’t dare to look directly into the other person’s eyes or even face, only looking at him from the side. After staying in Daxia Longque for so long, she also knows that strong people like Zhu Rong have experienced countless life and death battles, and their intuition and induction are very strong. Any small stimulus may attract their attention.
But even so, when the sight of her telescope lightly swept over Pluto’s body, she still had a strange feeling.
“He… seemed to have glanced at me?” Li Qian said with some confusion: “Is it my illusion?” “
What.” Roland suddenly became nervous: “Whether it is an illusion or not, it is too dangerous. Let’s hurry up. Let’s go.”
“Wait, they seem to be doing something.” Li Qian noticed that Zhu Rong put down his knife and fork, and then Pluto also put down his knife and fork, and then the two said a few words.
The next moment, an astonishing momentum rose into the sky, and a sigh like hell, and like the decayed breath of the underworld, spewed out.
Death and fear, all ability users within a five-kilometer radius felt a breath so powerful that it was suffocating. At this moment, it was as if hell had descended on the world.
What they don’t know is that Pluto gives them this feeling because of his thoughts sent out through the underworld.
But at this moment, they all knew one thing.
“Who is it! What a terrifying thought!”
“I’ve been discovered! Run away!”
“It’s a fifth-level ability user. I feel like he must be Pluto. Run away!”
Li Qian slowly put down the telescope and opened her mouth. He moved a little, and finally said bitterly: “Is it Pluto?”
“I don’t know.” Roland swallowed and looked nervously at the palace in the distance, as if it was the entrance to hell.
“This level of momentum has surpassed all the fifth-level ability users I have seen. Let’s go, we must leave here immediately and run away!” After saying that,
Roland pulled Li Qian and hurried towards the corridor. run.
But just as everyone was running away, a flame shot up into the sky, almost lighting up the entire night sky.
Some of the escaping ability users looked at the sky stupidly, some ran away faster, and some hid.
Li Qian and Roland looked back and ran faster.
A sense of deadly threat is constantly coming from the sky.
“It’s Zhu Rong…”
“What does he want to do!”
“Are he going to kill us all?”
The next moment, the Vulcan in the sky gave the answer with action.
A stream of thought energy surged out of his body and turned into a straight line, sweeping a three-kilometer radius in a clockwise direction. Then 56 rays of fire appeared from Zhu Rong’s body and flew in all directions.
Although it did not use all its strength, the temperature of the flame had exceeded 3000°. There was no burning phenomenon wherever it passed, and everything was reduced to ashes in an instant.
Even the snow on the ground began to melt in large areas, and half of the citizens of Morocco felt that the weather seemed to be getting warmer.
But those ability users who were targeted by the fire definitely didn’t think so. It was a nightmare attack.
No matter what energy, ability, buildings, armor, or ground, they could not withstand it. The flames penetrated all obstacles, leaving only ashes wherever they passed, and they could only watch as the flames turned one person after another to ashes. After the flames killed the target, they disappeared instantly without causing any unnecessary damage, showing Zhu Rong’s ultimate control.
Roland and Li Qian rushed down the stairs desperately. The temperature on the roof continued to rise, and a terrifying light illuminated their backs. At this moment, Li Qian was completely dominated by fear.
Facing Pluto’s attack, Li Qian and the others had no way to resist it.
Suddenly, she thought of Li Anping. Sadness, sorrow, happiness, at the moment before her death, she felt all kinds of countless emotions rushing into her heart, and scenes of memories related to Li Anping appeared in front of his eyes. Just like the moment before death, her short life flashed through her mind like a horse watching a lantern.
‘Maybe this is good…’
Li Qian turned around and looked at the corridor that was completely illuminated, like daytime, standing still.
The next moment, two rays of fire melted the wall and shot directly towards Roland and Li Qian in the corridor. The astonishing heat directly curled their hair. Before they even got close, there were already traces of burns on the skins of Li Qian and Roland.
Facing the blow of death, Li Qian closed her eyes and quietly waited for the final moment to come.
The imagined death did not come. Li Qian couldn’t help opening her eyes and
saw a slender figure blocking her eyes. She directly withstood the attack of two fires. The red flames surrounded Roland’s entire body. Fire snakes emerged from her eyes, mouth, and ears, but the colorful thoughts still blocked Li Qian’s path.
She opened her mouth wide and kept waving her hands, as if she wanted to say something to Li Qian and tell her to leave quickly, but her vocal cords were burned and she couldn’t say a complete sentence at all.
Li Qian’s eyes widened and she stared at Roland who fell into the sea of fire in front of her. She opened her mouth to say something, but the next second, the flames subsided and disappeared into the air. And the beauty with long purple hair had also turned into ashes in front of Li Qian.
Li Qian sat down on the ground, staring blankly at a black scorch mark on the ground. She stretched out her trembling hands towards it, and finally couldn’t help crying.
“Ah!” The heartbreaking cry echoed throughout the building.
…
Zhu Rong felt his flames disappearing one after another in mid-air. Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly, and he glanced into the distance in surprise. After a moment, he sneered: “Since you have such courage, it doesn’t matter if I help you.”
Then the flames on Zhu Rong’s body withdrew and fell towards the palace below.
At the same time, on the other side of Moroko, a blue-haired, hunched-backed, old-looking old man was standing on the top of a building, his eyes looking faintly at Zhu Rong’s location. The bright light is gradually dimming, returning the night to Moroko again.
When Zhu Rong’s light completely disappeared, the old man said: “This kid Zhu Rong… is stronger than before in Daxia Longque.” “Hmph, I only
need one bullet to deal with him.” A pink The woman with long hair stood behind the old man and said with an unconvinced expression. She looks to be in her mid-twenties, with a plump and graceful figure. She wears leather boots and leather clothes, giving people the impression of a young girl.
“Yuliya, your ability is somewhat restrained by Zhu Rong. Of course it’s not difficult to deal with him. Old man, I won’t have it so easy.” Hearing the woman’s disdainful voice, the old man didn’t take it seriously and continued: “But Pluto’s thought energy , do you feel it?”
When the woman named Yulia heard the word Pluto, her previous disdainful expression disappeared, and she nodded solemnly.
“This guy is very strong.”
The old man nodded: “Now it seems that Pluto is probably the strongest person in the Eastern Continent. Without knowing his abilities, we still don’t want to have a conflict with him without authorization. What’s next? It is also necessary to adjust the plan for the meeting.” “
Well, I will tell the alliance leader that the current situation really should not be an enemy of Pluto.”
That night, 55 ability users died from Zhu Rong’s blow. But what’s even more terrifying is that before Zhu Rong, only a corner of Pluto was revealed, and his unfathomable thoughts attracted everyone’s attention.
Pluto, the most powerful and mysterious fifth-level ability user of the Flame Dragon Pioneer, once again dominated everyone’s attention. As for Daxia Longque, which was originally able to compete with the Flame Dragon Pioneer, no one cares about it now. In the eyes of everyone, the current Daxia Longque is just a pile of Daxia’s bargaining chips, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
