Dragon's Origin

Chapter 84: Fear (Part 2)

Everyone wore expressions that said, "It's just as we thought," and started shaking their heads. Wang Sheng had indeed underestimated Ling Ba and the others' cultivation. He thought a mere flame could deal with them. He miscalculated this time.

However, a few people's expressions changed as they looked at the figures rushing out. Although they were engulfed in flames, and it was difficult to see clearly at night, the cultivation realms these people displayed were at most the second or third level. What about the strongest, Ling Ba, at the peak of the fourth level?

Ling Ba wasn't there? Such good luck? Was it possible? Yes! But was the possibility high? Absolutely not! This was Ling Ba's lair in Worry-Free City. He hadn't taken any missions that required him to go out recently. How could he be somewhere else?

Even his second and third level subordinates had rushed out, so where was Ling Ba? Also, only seven or eight people rushed out, what about the others? These were the questions that puzzled the sharp-eyed observers.

Not far from the warehouse was a well, and next to it was a full bucket of water. The fastest of the fire men grabbed the bucket and poured it over his head.

According to common sense, such a large bucket of water, poured over the head, wouldn't extinguish all the flames, but at least the fire on the head and face should be put out.

But frighteningly, instead of extinguishing the flames, the bucket of water caused even more sparks to erupt from the fire man's body. Wherever those sparks landed, they seemed impossible to shake off, and they burned wildly.

The guy who poured water all over himself not only didn't alleviate the pain, but also let out a pig-like scream. The misery of the sound was more exaggerated than being slowly sliced to death.

A fire man following closely behind, seeing this situation, thought it wasn't enough water. Despite being on fire, he didn't care about anything else and decisively jumped into the well.

The splash sound also drew some people's attention. Everyone thought the fire on the person who jumped into the well should be extinguished. But why was there still a bright glow from the well?

The surroundings were full of assassins, many of whom had seen death, and even more were experienced. The glow from the well wasn't from outside light, which meant only one thing: something was burning inside the well.

This flame, it couldn't be extinguished even by jumping into the well? Those who saw this felt a chill in their hearts. Their terrified gazes seemed to disbelieve it. How was this possible?

One fire man wasn't fast, was badly injured, and stumbled as soon as he rushed out of the door, falling to the ground. He was experienced enough to immediately roll around on the ground.

Right before everyone's eyes, this rolling, pitiful man not only failed to extinguish the flames on his body, but instead spread the flames everywhere. Some places were touched by a little bit, and if there was anything flammable, it immediately burst into flames.

This time, even the houses next door were ignited, and the surrounding onlookers panicked. They hurriedly tried to put out the fire. The problem was, the more they tried to put it out, the more the flames spread, and more and more houses were ignited.

Two people were hit by sparks and immediately felt excruciating pain. No matter how they tried to put it out or soak themselves in water, it was useless.

One person was decisive. Seeing the flames already burning into his flesh, he gritted his teeth and cut off a piece of flesh from his arm along with the sparks.

Another person didn't realize how terrifying it was and kept trying various methods in vain. He watched helplessly as the sparks burned all the way to his bones before slowly extinguishing. But in just a moment, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up.

The burning fire men who rushed out of the warehouse didn't all run towards the well. Three or four of them were smart and ran towards the river, where there was plenty of water to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Plop, plop, plop, three fire men jumped into the river almost simultaneously. However, the cold river water didn't stop their screams, but instead produced an even more desperate howl.

Before many people's eyes, in that river more than one person deep, three burning fire men were fiercely burning underwater. Everyone couldn't see the situation in the well, but this scene in the river was clearly visible to many people.

Flames burning in water, unable to escape, this scene directly subverted everyone's common sense. Those who understood the cause and effect of the matter were all covered in cold sweat and looked terrified.

The terrifying scene was unimaginable. What would happen if that egg-sized thing was thrown into their residence? What would happen if it was thrown into their forces' gathering place?

Why didn't Ling Ba appear? It was probably not that he happened to be away, but that he had been killed in the first instant. So what if he was a peak fourth-level expert? Under the care of this terrifying flame, dying quickly was simply a blessing.

The people in the water had slowly stopped moving, but the flames on their bodies didn't extinguish, and continued for at least three minutes before slowly disappearing. But by this time, the three people in the water were completely dead.

The one by the well, the one rolling on the ground, and the one who rushed out and fainted without knowing the direction, were all lifeless. There was no sound or light in the well, it should be the same as the three in the river outside, burned out, and the people were dead.

The warehouse was beyond saving. Not to mention that it was difficult for people to get close to such a big fire, just thinking about the consequences of being touched by the flames made people get goosebumps all over their bodies, along with a muscle-trembling warming effect.

Fortunately, the inextinguishable flames only lasted for a few minutes. After burning, they seemed to turn into ordinary flames, which could be extinguished with water or soil, or even by beating them with something. Everyone present was a cultivator, and with their combined efforts, all the fires except for the warehouse were quickly extinguished.

A few people who didn't believe it wanted to approach the warehouse, but were smoked unconscious by a burst of smoke spewing out from the door. The special incendiary bomb's method of killing enemies was not only burning and exploding, but also poisonous smoke. The air in the closed warehouse couldn't circulate, so approaching the doors and windows at this time was simply the best way to die.

Those who had been monitoring from beginning to end were lucky enough not to be injured, but watching these terrifying scenes with their own eyes really shocked them.

They even began to worry whether their superiors would believe them when they told them what they had seen and heard. An egg-sized thing could directly burn a peak fourth-level expert to death? Flames couldn't be extinguished even in water? Was it possible?
