"So you're saying those dragons were sealed at the bottom of the sea along with that mountain that emerged from the East Sea?"
Hua Shan nodded and said, "It's very possible!"
A glint flashed in Ye Fei's eyes as he asked, "Who would have the power to seal both a mountain and dragons?"
"How would I know!" Hua Shan rolled his eyes, "But according to the records in the books, we can be sure that this happened over a hundred thousand years ago. And."
"And what?"
"And I suspect that what was sealed at the time was not just a mountain, but perhaps a mountain range or even a continent," Hua Shan said thoughtfully.
"This!" Ye Fei's jaw almost dropped, unable to imagine the power of the one who performed the sealing.
After a moment, Ye Fei regained his composure and asked, "What does Tai Shan want those dragons for?"
"In the East Country, most people see dragons as at least a supreme symbol, and in the City of Yin and Time, dragons possess the strongest spatial manipulation abilities. Tai Shan releasing those dragons is mostly likely to use the dragon's ability to manipulate space."
Ye Fei's eyes suddenly narrowed harshly, and he sighed in resignation, "Your City of Yin and Time really is a strange place!"
"Not long from now, I will take you to the City of Yin and Time," Hua Shan said with a noncommittal smile, "and that kid Chen Hao will be there too."
"That will have to wait until his child is born," Ye Fei said.
"We can't wait," Hua Shan turned serious instantaneously, "If we wait for his child to be born, I estimate that the world would already be destroyed by then."
Ye Fei was astonished, and from Hua Shan's expression, he knew Hua Shan was not exaggerating.
"After that seal is broken, it's not just dragons that will be released, but also many terrifying ancient creatures."
Ye Fei nodded, "I heard about it from Chen Hao last night that on that emerged mountain, there are many ancient beastmen."
"By now, quite a few beastmen must have entered various places around the world."
Just then, coincidentally, Ye Fei's phone rang.
"It might be my wife calling," Ye Fei said awkwardly to Hua Shan.
However, when he picked up the phone and saw the screen, his brow suddenly furrowed.
The caller was not his new wife, Yan Ru, but the chief of the H City police department, who had been one of his important assistants and providers of information back when he was the Campus Hero.
After glancing at Hua Shan, Ye Fei answered the call.
"What happened?" Ye Fei asked cautiously.
"Campus Hero, there's a situation above the East Sea, the army has been deployed."
With that, the caller hung up. After being stunned for a while, Ye Fei finally moved the phone away from his ear.
He hadn't expected Hua Shan's words to be confirmed so quickly.
"Take me to the East Sea to have a look," Ye Fei said to Hua Shan, "I just got reliable information that there's a situation there."
"It might be a beastman invasion," Hua Shan said indifferently, "We should call that kid Chen Hao now; he has a knack for dealing with those beastmen."
"Let's go see the situation first, and if we can manage without bothering him, then let's try not to."
"But."
"Take me there now!" Ye Fei coldly interrupted Hua Shan, "You're not married, so you wouldn't understand what family and relatives mean to Chen Hao."
Hua Shan was so furious that he almost couldn't control his emotions and almost flipped Ye Fei the middle finger.
In the blink of an eye,
Hua Shan used his spatial teleportation ability to transport Ye Fei thousands of kilometers away to the surface of the East Sea. Due to the impact of last night's earthquake, the sea was extremely rough at the moment.
"The military has reportedly been mobilized," Ye Fei said, looking at a mountain that had emerged from the sea surface just last night, "It seems the situation is far more severe than I imagined."
No sooner had he spoken than a very long, gorilla-like roar floated down from the mountain, soon followed by a chorus of similar sounds.
Vaguely, Ye Fei thought he saw the silhouette of a giant gorilla dominating the peak of the mountain.
Just as he was ready to move closer, a series of high-pitched wolf howls started, overshadowing the gorilla's cries.
Shortly thereafter, the figure of a giant wolf suddenly leaped out from the dark mountain shadow, its silhouette clearly visible in the hanging moonlight.
"Yi Ye!" roared the gorilla again, emitting a pair of crimson lights from the top of the mountain.
Those were the furious eyes of the gorilla!
Then, Ye Fei saw the giant gorilla leap into the air, grappling with the giant wolf. The originally bright, pure moon was suddenly stained red with a spray of blood.
But in the blink of an eye, the giant gorilla, the giant wolf, and the fresh blood all sank into the dark mountain shadow, accompanied by a series of echoing cries that diminished then intensified.
"Both the gorilla and the wolf must be the so-called beasts," Ye Fei remarked as he looked at the mountain.
"Uh-huh!"
"Deploying the military, it looks like they're trying to prevent them from invading the land."
After a brief silence, Hua Shan turned to Ye Fei: "Campus Hero, how much do you know about beastmen?"
"In the terms of an Onmyoji, they are one of the four evil creatures: demons, ghosts, monsters, and beasts."
"Do you know why they are also called beastmen, not just beasts?" Hua Shan continued.
After thinking a moment, Ye Fei guessed, "Could it be because they can turn into humans? Just like demons and monsters sometimes appear in human form."
"Beasts turning into humans is somewhat different," Hua Shan said, squinting, "demons and monsters disguise themselves as humans, but beasts are truly human. In the terms of an Onmyoji, beastmen, like us, have both Yin Soul and Yang Spirit within them. Some beastmen, even if they were among a crowd, could not be distinguished even by an Onmyoji like Chen Hao."
After hearing Hua Shan's explanation, Ye Fei looked puzzled, "Hua Shan, what exactly are you trying to tell me?"
"In our world, there are many descendants of beastmen. Some hide their identity, while others don't even know they are beastmen, their scent lost due to the passage of time, evolving in the same direction as us humans."
After Hua Shan finished speaking, Ye Fei was stunned.
He didn't know how to accept Hua Shan's words, feeling as if his understanding of the world had been overturned in an instant.
After a long while, Ye Fei looked at Hua Shan and asked, "Is there a chance that I'm a descendant of a beastman?"
"You're not."
"How can you be sure I'm not? Didn't you say many beastmen are indistinguishable from normal people?"
"Because you don't have an innate superpower," Hua Shan explained, "Beastmen possess such abilities, inherited from their ancestors."
"Superpower?" For a moment, Ye Fei thought of many people, all linked to Hua Shan.
"Are you implying that Chen Hao's ex-girlfriend, Lin Xiaofan, is also a descendant of a beastman? She does have a so-called superpower."
