After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 126 – Ruins



Something is wrong, definitely something is wrong.

The black mist churned, as if the expression on that blurry face was constantly changing. The amorphous mist began to shrink, feeling like the expression of someone furrowing their eyebrows.

He could feel that the other party had crossed the trap without any hesitation, but he couldn't figure out how they did it.

"This shouldn't be." The black mist muttered to itself, "Even if this intruder really cracked the trap, it shouldn't be this fast."

Even the top student needs a process to solve a problem, right? But now the situation is like a normal person hasn't even finished reading the question, and the top student has already finished the exam.

Of course, he couldn't possibly think that the other party didn't even read the question and directly deleted the entire question.

"What should we do now?" The girl beside him remained expressionless.

"...It seems there is no other choice." The black mist said in a deep voice, "This enemy is strange, other methods probably won't be effective. Looks like you have to go."

"Me?" The girl pointed at herself, tilting her head.

"Yes." The black mist said, "If there is anything that can stop those greedy surface dwellers in this place, it's only you."

After a pause, his voice lowered, "Do you remember what I told you about the surface dwellers?"

The girl nodded, "You said they are greedy, they enjoy plundering and destroying. And they can eat a lot."

"That's right. They are cruel and terrible, without mercy. Do you know what will happen if they get their hands on you?"

"Um, I will become very fragrant and delicious?"

"Yes, and before that, they will hollow you out, remove every valuable part of your body, and this process will be very painful. Do you understand?"

"Oh." The girl nodded.

"Then go and kill him quickly."

"Okay."

The girl obediently turned around and flew away. The black mist watched her figure leave for a moment, then fell into a brief contemplation.

Well, I hope she really understood.

Violently breaking through the illusion blocking his way, Jiang Bei continued to move deeper, feeling like he was about to reach the bottom.

Along the way, he saw many ruins of buildings, aged sculptures. At first, he couldn't understand the meaning behind them, but now he seemed to have a vague sense of what these ruins were expressing.

An ancient palace that was old but still retained traces of its former glory, as if showing the appearance of an ancient city. It was like a river abandoned by time, slowly winding through the ruins for thousands of years, like a forgotten snake slithering through lifeless palaces.

A prosperous city, a glorious civilization. Until one day, a catastrophic flood descended from the sky, and a civilization was submerged under the sea.

This naturally reminded him of certain myths.

The legendary city of Atlantis, created by the sea god Poseidon, was submerged in the great flood that destroyed the world according to mythology.

Of course, it was just an association.

More movement came from the darkness. Jiang Bei looked around and found a new group of Cunning Beasts appearing around him. They still looked fierce, each one staring at him, but they didn't rush forward like the enemies he encountered before.

On the contrary, they behaved quite restrained, maintaining a certain distance and forming an encirclement. They glared at Jiang Bei, but clearly restrained their sharpness. Some of them even seemed to be crouching on the ground, showing a few traces of gentleness and obedience.

It looked a bit like subjects preparing to welcome the arrival of a king.

Jiang Bei looked up and saw the person they were welcoming.

A girl who looked like a human.

Yes, and she even looked like an underdeveloped young girl. She was small in stature, with certain other features also small, giving her a miniaturized appearance. But her face was expressionless, her cold face resembling a frozen iceberg.

Apparently, she could fly, and her figure was suspended in mid-air.

She spoke, but her pronunciation was awkward and stiff.

"You shouldn't have come. This place is mine. It's not allowed to invade, what was it?"

The girl scratched her head, as if forgetting her words.

Jiang Bei pondered for two seconds and said, "You didn't come up with this yourself, did you?"

"Huh?" The girl blinked her big eyes, "How did you know?"

Jiang Bei: ...

She seemed not very smart, but in any case, she finally had someone with intelligence to communicate with.

And all these fierce beasts around seemed obedient and docile, it seemed that she had the power to speak here. So it wouldn't hurt to try to communicate first.

"I'm looking for someone." Jiang Bei said, "An entire town disappeared, along with everyone inside. Did they come here?"

The girl thought for a moment.

"Oh, you're looking for them. Then it should be. They are here." She nodded.

This confirmed that Jiang Bei had come to the right place, so he continued, "I need to take them out."

"That's not possible."

The girl shook her head, then suddenly her head tilted, as if she remembered something.

"Oh, I shouldn't be talking to you."

"What?"

"Surface dwellers use sweet words, they are liars, they shouldn't be spoken to."

Surface dwellers? Jiang Bei noticed this strange wording.

Jiang Bei furrowed his brows slightly, "Who said that?"

"You must leave."

The girl said, raising her hand. In an instant, a hurricane swept through the sealed hall, strong enough to uproot a ancient tree. The storm hit Jiang Bei, blowing his cloak in the wind, and even the blue bricks under his feet seemed to crack in the storm.

But then nothing happened.

Jiang Bei remained standing in place, his cloak fluttering behind him.

A faint look of confusion appeared on the girl's cold face.

Why isn't he reacting at all?

Did I not blow hard enough?

"Sorry, I won't go anywhere until I find out." He said, "Tell me where those missing people are."The girl's thin lips were tightly closed, seemingly determined not to speak to this "big liar" anymore. She pointed her toes lightly, her floating figure suddenly accelerated, and in a flash, she was in front of Jiang Bei, her slender fingers reaching straight for his face.

Jiang Bei watched her reach for him indifferently, only moving aside when her ultra-fast grab was almost touching his nose. The girl only saw a blur in front of her, and when she reached out, there was no one in sight. The force she exerted with her fingers exploded a gap in the stone slab from a distance.

"Looking for someone?" Jiang Bei, who had flashed to one side, still had his arms crossed.

The girl was stunned, seemingly a bit confused about how he got there so quickly. But she didn't think much about it, turned around and swung her fist again, the force of her punch shaking the entire hall.

"Seems like you won't listen unless I spank you."

Jiang Bei muttered, casually waving his hand, following the girl's punch and deflecting it. The punch, filled with strange strength, suddenly veered off course. The excessive force made her lose her balance and fly forward, piercing through several walls and debris, and falling into a mess.

However, it was clear that she also had considerable strength. Even among the Extraordinary Beings outside, her rank should not be low. No, she not only demonstrated the ability to fly and control wind, but her physical condition was also not like that of ordinary Extraordinary Beings.

This made people increasingly curious about her origins.

After a good beating, it would be time to interrogate her thoroughly.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the debris piled on the girl was suddenly blasted away. But what flew out from the ruins was not a fair-skinned beautiful girl, but a long, mythically beautiful creature with white scales.

A dragon!

Jiang Bei narrowed his eyes.

Damn it, you must be kidding me.
