Chapter 28 Red Cannon

It is two kilometers away from Shezhen.

A young man with earrings and bloodshot eyes was sitting in a campervan, gritting his teeth as he bandaged his injured arm.

Damn it.

To avoid possible capture, he wandered around the surrounding woods, and only dared to return to the RV after confirming that no one was following him.

After bandaging his arm, he cleaned the blood off his body in front of the sink and threw the clothes he had taken off into the iron basin.

Then, looking at his reddened eyelids in the mirror, he recalled the piercing itch and angrily punched the wall.

"Bang!"

The ornaments hanging on the wall were shaken and fell to the ground.

The young man took a few breaths and plopped back down in his chair.

"It seems you failed your new member assessment."

Suddenly a man's voice sounded from behind him.

The young man was startled, and his hands glowed red.

But the next second, his shoulder was pressed down, and the red light was forcibly turned off.

"Alright, stop fooling around." The man patted his shoulder teasingly. "Little Cannon, you don't want Commander Chi to know you failed the test, do you?"

"Red Horse, don't call me Little Cannon." The young man turned his head, somewhat displeased.

Sitting in front of him was a man with a warm and friendly smile, a figure more slender than a woman's, and long, model-like legs.

The man nodded: "Okay, Little Cannon."

"Judging from your disheveled appearance, have you run into one of our old rivals?"

"That's right." Red Cannon leaned back in his chair. "That tiger eagle, it's protecting the target I'm going to deal with today."

Akama tapped his knee with his long, slender fingers: "So, your assessment target for the new members is the previous number one on the Twins Ranking, Mumu?"

"That's right." Chi Pao looked unwilling. "This was a good opportunity. I could have killed her with one blow, but someone by her side blocked the attack for her."

"But I'm now certain that she is the host of a mythical creature."

"Because her ability is time reversal, such an outrageous ability couldn't possibly belong to a natal spirit!"

Chi Pao sat up straight and looked at Chi Ma: "Why don't you give me a hand, and we'll kill her together and take her belongings!"

Akama elegantly took a bottle of Coke from the small refrigerator, filled his cup, and looked as if he were tasting some kind of fine wine rather than a carbonated beverage.

"First of all, I don't need Tier 2 relics, so I won't help you."

Secondly, you're too impatient.

He crossed his legs and said, "Since Tiger Eagle is already protecting her, do you think the lioness doesn't know?"

When the lioness was mentioned, a hint of fear flashed in Chi Pao's eyes, and his straight back lowered slightly.

"You mean a trap?"

Chi Ma shook his head: "If it's a trap, you're dead today. The lioness probably sent people to protect her while she fights demons and monsters so she can increase her strength as quickly as possible."

"But since you caught us this time, they probably won't give us another chance."

Hearing this, Chi Pao gritted his teeth even more: "It's all that man's fault for staying by her side. If it weren't for him, I would have succeeded!"

"Oh? Very impressive?" Akama asked with great interest.

Chi Pao frowned: "He's not that strong, he seems to be only at level 1. But what's strange is that he can break free from my red light, and he also has a very underhanded ability."

The thought of that piercing, strange itch made him grit his teeth in hatred.

If it weren't for the itching in his eyes, he wouldn't have been caught off guard by Tiger Eagle, and wouldn't have been injured and forced to escape.

Akama's gaze swept over his reddened eyes, and an eyebrow rose, as if he understood something.

"Alright." He stood up. "Since you've failed, then behave yourself."

"Change my identity, stay at number one on the leaderboard, and wait two weeks to advance to rank 2."

"Chi Shuai has a very important task ahead."

"Don't let us down."

"clear."

Seeing that Chima's figure had disappeared into the woods, Chipao closed the RV door and turned on the computer.

He wanted to have someone investigate the man he met today to find out who he was.

If he gets the chance later, he will definitely take revenge.

……

……

11 o'clock in the morning.

Du Wang met Mu Mu in the lobby.

The girl changed back into her traditional Chinese-style jacket and long skirt. She didn't wear much makeup, but her bright eyes and white teeth made her smile radiantly.

Mumu's family driver didn't return until the afternoon, so the two of them decided to take advantage of their free time to stroll around the ancient town and bring some gifts for their families.

There are more jewelry shops than restaurants along the streets of the ancient town.

Along the way, Mumu was like a hamster, scurrying around and flitting between different pieces of jewelry to create her own look.

Seeing Du Wang looking at different Chinese hairpins, Mu Mu jumped out from behind the mirror and asked, "Are you buying them for your aunt?"

"Um."

"Then I'll help you choose."

"How tall and how much do you weigh, Auntie? What's your face shape?"

"Uh, are these related to hairpins?"

"Of course, different lengths and styles of hairpins look best when paired with different face shapes."

This touched on a blind spot in Du Wang's knowledge. He tried his best to recall what his mother looked like and provided it to Mu Mu as a reference.

"Yes, I recommend this one."

In the end, Mumu helped Du Wang choose a wooden phoenix hairpin, which had a unique design and a lot of charm.

To avoid showing favoritism, Du Wang bought his father a pair of uniquely woven sandals.

After making all their selections, the two continued to stroll around.

I stumbled upon the spot where the snake demon appeared last night, only to find it blocked by a construction slab, apparently under repair.

Du Wang randomly approached a shop owner and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?"

The shopkeeper, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, said mysteriously, "Something big happened here last night. I heard that some tomb raiders unearthed some treasure and awakened the Dragon King underground!"

"The Dragon King?"

"That's right, there's a dragon underground in our Shezhen town. Everyone around heard its roar last night!"

"There are also photos taken by eyewitnesses; the ground is covered with traces left by the Dragon King. The size and the huge crater are impossible to fake!"

"It's a pity that the Dragon King's peaceful dream was disturbed by those two tomb raiders, and now he has flown away. Alas."

"I see." Du Wang nodded.

At this moment, another tourist came over to ask a question, and the owner immediately repeated what he had just said in a serious manner.

More and more tourists gathered around, all discussing the legend of the "dragon".

Suddenly, the sales of shops along the embankment increased significantly.

Some shrewd business owners even put up signs that said, "Buy enough to join the group and see photos."

As a result, they were soon fined by the management team of Shezhen.

Seeing this, Du Wang and Mu Mu exchanged glances, never expecting that last night's actions would have such an unexpected butterfly effect.

"But who knows, dragons might actually appear in the future."

The girl looked very serious.

Du Wang asked, "Why do you say that?"

Mumu said, "Because the speed at which mythical creatures descend is accelerating, the frequency of those demonic descents is also increasing."

This is true.

According to statistics from the investigation department, the number of incidents involving the appearance of evil spirits has been gradually increasing in the past three months.

If this continues, the public may soon become aware of the situation.

A sense of urgency rose in Du Wang's heart, because if the demonic descent incident were to fully erupt, it would be a disaster.

At that time, this peaceful life will be disrupted.

Everyone will be plunged into crisis.

"I must advance to Rank 2 as soon as possible," Du Wang made up his mind.

This determination is not only for greater strength, but also for more say in the investigation department, and to be able to protect his loved ones when danger comes.

Of course, money is also important.

Tier 2 pays much more than Tier 1.

Suddenly, Mumu said, "By the way, it seems we've always used nicknames for each other."

Du Wang was taken aback: "Yes."

A dimple appeared at the corner of Mu Mu's mouth as she extended her hand and said, "Then let's get to know each other again. My name is Pei Zhaozhao."

"Du Wang".

They clasped their hands together and shook them gently.
