Chapter 1177 - 1175: Friendly, Friendly!
The children witnessed Xia Yunfeng and Xia Lalan both becoming even more formidable, and their joy multiplied; they all rushed over to Lin Feng’s side and exclaimed.
"Haha, Elder Yunfeng and Teacher Lanlan have both made a breakthrough!"
"Teacher Lin, we’re really doing great, aren’t we!"
"Hahaha, we’re almost reaching the Transcendent Realm!"
"Oh my, being with Teacher Lin, miracles happen all the time!"
"It’s truly unbelievable; I never thought I could become a late-stage expert of the Mortal Realm!"
...
The children were so excited; they couldn’t believe the progress they had made. They all bombarded Lin Feng with questions, eager to hear his evaluation of them, which, to them, was the best form of recognition.
"I am very pleased." Seeing the children so joyful, Lin Feng said with a smile. He was indeed satisfied with the children’s achievements; with their current strength, participating in the competition wouldn’t be a problem at all, and he could rest easy now.
"Wow, fantastic! Teacher Lin praised us!"
"This is great, so happy, I’m ecstatic!"
"We can finally hold our heads high. During the competition, we’ll have to teach those kids from other Prominent Families a lesson!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s praise, the children were overjoyed, dancing and reveling exuberantly. They were simply too happy and wished they could appear at the competition venue right away to showcase their newfound strength.
By this time, Xia Yunfeng had regained his composure, and seeing the children so happy warmed his heart. He nodded at Lin Feng, with a smile on his face. If it were not for following Lin Feng here, his breakthrough would not have been possible; in this respect, no amount of thanks to Lin Feng would be excessive.
At this moment, Xia Lalan was even more delighted; leading such a group of children had become her pride, and she took honor in these children. But as she heard the conversation about the competition among the children, she realized that the competition was just around the corner in the next few days. They were still here, and if they didn’t make it to the competition on time, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?
With this thought in mind, Xia Lalan immediately put away her smile and very seriously said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, the competition is about to start. How are we going to get there in time? It seems we’re quite far from the competition venue, aren’t we?"
Although she had great faith in Lin Feng, she wanted to know his plans, especially now. The competition was a significant event, and if they failed to make it on time, the Xia Family could be at a disadvantage. Naturally, she didn’t want that to happen.
Hearing Xia Lalan’s words, the children and Xia Yunfeng also turned their gaze to Lin Feng, eager to know what he had in mind. The competition was no small matter; hadn’t they returned to the Hidden World specifically to participate in it? What would they do if they were late?
Lin Feng looked at everyone and suddenly laughed with great joy, knowing they were anxious, but he wouldn’t undertake anything without assurance. Everything had been arranged well in advance, so he pointed upwards and said with a smile to everyone, "Don’t worry; it will take us there. We’ll be fast, and we’ll definitely make it in time."
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s response, everyone was puzzled, not understanding what he meant. What did he mean by "it will take us there quickly"? There was no one else here, so what did Lin Feng’s words mean?
But just as everyone was in a state of confusion, suddenly, thunder and lightning crackled above Lin Feng’s head, and the faint blue body of an immense creature began to appear out of it, spiraling a dozen or so meters above the ground, and the sight was truly terrifying!
Seeing this, everyone present was dumbfounded. No one had expected that such a colossal Demon Beast had been hidden above Lin Feng’s head. Judging by the size of this Demon Beast, it far surpassed any they had seen before. They wondered why such a Demon Beast had come here... What kind of Demon Beast was this? It was absolutely unimaginable!
"Thunder Devouring... Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon!"
However, Xia Yunfeng recognized the demon beast before them. Wasn’t this one of the two great Demon Kings of the area, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon? He had never seen it before, but he had heard his ancestors talk about it. He never expected to come across it here... This was an existence that even the Elder wouldn’t dare to provoke. Big trouble... This was really big trouble!
As this thought came to him, he was ready to run. Anyone in their right mind, facing this scenario, would know what to do. This was a beast on the verge of ascending to the Demon Immortal Realm. They were insignificant to this Demon King, not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth...
"Thunder Devouring... Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon..." Hearing Xia Yunfeng recognizing the demon beast, Xia Lalan’s mind went blank for a moment, not fully grasping what the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was. But then she abruptly realized that it was one of the Demon Kings of this place, and in an instant, her face turned deathly pale as she urgently shouted to the children, "This is a Demon King of the Lost Forest, kids, run, run fast!"
She was truly in a panic, wishing she could immediately whisk the children away. This was the Demon King! In its presence, they were less than nothing. If the Demon King wished to kill them, no reason was needed. How many supremely skilled fighters had died at the hands of the two Demon Kings? And today they had encountered the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon; this was tantamount to courting death. Her dying was not important, but she couldn’t let the children die here; she didn’t want such an event to happen!
As soon as the children heard what Xia Yunfeng and Xia Lalan said, they immediately realized that the beast before them was one of the Demon Kings of the Lost Forest. Despair filled them, their little faces drained of color, big beads of sweat rolling down desperately. They all wanted to run, but at that moment, they found themselves unable to take a step—fear had filled their hearts, robbing them of control over their own bodies...
"Don’t be nervous; it’s one of us. It won’t hurt you. It’s going to fly us directly to the Myriad Immortals Platform." Seeing everyone so panic-stricken, Lin Feng immediately spoke up to reassure them. The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was considered one of their own; there really was no need to be so frightened.
"Don’t be afraid of me, guys, I’m one of you, one of you!" Seeing everyone so scared, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon felt very apologetic and immediately spoke in human language. Despite taking extra care with its appearance, it had still scared these people, and hurriedly spoke, trying to soothe everyone’s panic.
The people who were about to escape in a panic suddenly heard Lin Feng and the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon’s words, and were even more dumbfounded. They just stood there, petrified, unable to believe what they were hearing was real. They thought... How could this be possible? This was the Demon King, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon. How could it be one of us? What... What exactly was happening?
"Lin... Lin Feng, what... what do you mean? How... How could it be one of us!" At this moment, Xia Yunfeng was still incredibly scared, but he suppressed his fear and pointed at the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon in the sky, asking Lin Feng for clarification. He wanted to know what Lin Feng meant—nothing could convince him that the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon would be one of them.
"Lin Feng, this... this..." Xia Lalan, standing beside them, also didn’t know what to say. Although she believed in Lin Feng and knew that he could do things beyond what others would expect, this was still the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, a real Demon King. How had it become one of their own?
"There’s nothing to be surprised about. I just had a word with it, and it volunteered to take us flying over there. If you don’t believe me, just ask it," Lin Feng said, looking at the stunned crowd and smiling lightly, as if explaining the situation simply; indeed, he had merely spoken to the beast, and the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon had volunteered to help.
"How... How is this possible!"
"Since when did the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon become so accommodating?"
"Volunteering to help, oh my goodness..."
...
Everyone present, upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, were left completely flabbergasted, their minds unable to comprehend, and they started muttering to themselves. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe Lin Feng’s words, but rather that Lin Feng’s words were simply unbelievable. The Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon’s fierce reputation was well known in the Hidden World, and just its presence without hostile action was already shocking enough, let alone it offering help voluntarily—they couldn’t believe it even if they were beaten to death.
"Yes, I’ve come to help voluntarily; there’s no need to be so afraid." Seeing everyone’s reactions, the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon was speechless, speaking in a very calm tone, wondering what was so hard to believe about it offering help.
Upon hearing the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon speak again, all eyes turned toward it, noticing the absence of murderous intent on its body, and began to somewhat believe. But the fear of the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon still lingered; after all, it was a legendary Demon King responsible for countless powerful beings’ deaths. That it would offer to help willingly was bizarre, and they could not for the life of them figure out how Lin Feng had persuaded the Demon King to help.
"Alright, let’s not waste any more time. With its help flying us there, we’ll save a lot of time. Get on." Lin Feng saw that everyone was still somewhat dazed, shook his head with a smile, and said, knowing what they were thinking but feeling no need to dwell on this issue any longer.
After saying so, Lin Feng waved his hand in the air, and a strange force enveloped the children. With another wave of his hand, in an instant, the children were lifted into the air and directly landed on the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon’s back.
After getting the children onto the Thunder Devouring Sky-Swallowing Flood Dragon, Lin Feng’s figure flashed and he too appeared on the creature’s back. He glanced at the dazed Xia Lalan and Xia Yunfeng below, waved to them, and said lightly, "Come on up."
