Nether Flood Dragon falls next to East Sea Defense Line.
Lin Feng turned over and jumped off the dragon's back. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Duan Hongyuan's figure walked quickly from the direction of the command post.
"What did you just do at the bottom of the sea?"
Duan Hongyuan walked up to him, his tone more anxious than usual.
"The entire East Sea mental power detectors with a radius of 100 kilometers were overloaded and burned. I have never seen the intensity of the fluctuation just now."
Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush.
"Breakthrough, my mental power is ninth level."
Duan Hongyuan's footsteps paused.
He opened his mouth, but lost his voice.
There was silence for a few seconds.
"... Ninth grade?"
"Hmm."
Duan Hongyuan took a deep breath.
He has lived for most of his life and has seen many geniuses, but none of them could make him refresh his knowledge repeatedly in just a few months.
He swallowed back all the questions he wanted to ask.
"Okay, let's talk about this later."
Duan Hongyuan lowered his voice and tilted his head in the direction of the command post, "Follow me, I have something to show you."
Lin Feng Follow him.
Nether Flood Dragon shrank, jumped on Lin Feng's shoulders, its tail was drooped, and it looked sleepy.
The two walked through the corridor of the command post and entered a secret room at the end.
There is a "Top Secret" sign on the door, which requires two-factor authentication from Duan Hongyuan to open.
The door opened.
It's not big inside, with a table and a holographic projection screen embedded in the wall.
Duan Hongyuan pressed the dark button on the wall. The screen turned on.
The picture is a video.
The picture quality is not good, with a grainy feel.
The shooting location seems to be a rift valley deep in the wilderness somewhere.
"This video was taken recently."
Duan Hongyuan stood next to the screen and explained.
"A Martial Artist team entered a Rift of Northern Territory and discovered something strange."
Lin Feng stared at the screen.
In the video, a middle-aged man with injuries all over his body climbed out of Rift.
His left arm disappeared at shoulder level, and the section looked more like it had been swallowed by something than it had been severed.
The edges are black and there is a slight black air.
There is a cut in the video and it jumps directly to the key statement.
The sound came from the screen, hoarse and intermittent.
"... There's something in there. It's not a human being, and it's not an animal."
"They have horns. They grow on either side of the forehead."
"The body is covered with scales, but it stands and walks like a human being."
"The number... I didn't count it."
"They call themselves..." The man coughed up blood, "Skyhorn Clan."
The screen stopped.
Duan Hongyuan pressed pause.
Lin Feng stared at the frozen picture in trance.
"What happened to this person?"
"Dead. Three days after returning, the wound worsened and the blood and energy were exhausted."
Duan Hongyuan said helplessly, "The entire Dragon Kingdom medical community is at a loss. Even the top Healing Pill can't suppress the spread of the black energy."
Lin Feng's hand pressed on Nether Flood Dragon's head, his thumb unconsciously rubbing the scales.
"What happens next? This information..."
"Closed."
Duan Hongyuan is leaning against the wall.
"National Defense Committee voted internally, believing that the evidence of the alien race was insufficient and should not be widely spread to cause panic. In addition, the Rift has been closed, so the whole matter was suppressed."
He paused for a beat.
"But since then, similar situations have occurred more or less in all major military regions. The time and location are uncertain."
"Did something come out of it?"
"Yes, but they were all in low-level Exotic Beast forms and were killed on the spot. No more intelligent creatures appeared."
Duan Hongyuan looked at Lin Feng.
He himself could not understand this phenomenon and placed his hope on the young man in front of him.
"These alien races do exist."
"??? What information do you know?"
Lin Feng did not answer immediately.
He took out the angled rune from Storage Ring and slapped it on the table.
Lin Feng spoke a little faster, but he explained everything about the Skyhorn Clan clearly during this trip to Eastern Isle.
"... calls himself Skyhorn Clan Pioneer, Feng Yiling. Half human and half animal form, with horns on his forehead, scales on his body, and unknown cultivation level."
Duan Hongyuan's hand pressed on the edge of the table.
"Skyhorn Clan..."
"He is the national master of Eastern Isle."
Lin Feng knocked on the rune on the table, "No one at Eastern Isle Martial Arts Cabinet knows that he is not a human being. He has been running Eastern Isle for who knows how many years. Fujiba Eiji, the seabed seal, and the spiritual sea beast are all his plans."
Duan Hongyuan's breathing was a little heavier.
"Beast Tide was also done by him?"
"Fujiba Eiji is dead, the seabed seal is opened, and Beast Tide comes out. This is his backup plan."
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, "Martial Emperor who killed Eastern Isle, Beast Tide came for the Dragon Kingdom."
Duan Hongyuan was silent.
The secret room was quiet for a long time.
Duan Hongyuan slowly sat down, his expression more solemn than before.
"Rift in the video you just watched. Before it was closed, we sent three more teams to reconnoiter. Only one person came back."
Duan Hongyuan took out a small storage disk from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is a complete oral record he made before his death. The amount of information is much greater than the one you just read."
He pressed the button of the storage disk.
A holographic projection emerges.
The middle-aged man's face appeared in the air, his complexion was gray, and his broken arm was oozing with black air.
The voice is weaker than in the video.
"... There's a whole space inside, it's huge, much bigger than we imagined."
"The number of aliens... I haven't seen them all, but the ones I met along the way when I escaped were probably in the thousands."
"They have cities, buildings, and writing."
"They're training an army."
"The directions of those armies... are all heading towards the entrance of Rift."
The recording stopped.
Lin Feng's finger stopped on the surface of the rune.
"When was this record taken?"
"About half a month ago."
"Since you discovered it, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Duan Hongyuan smiled bitterly.
"National Defense Committee Twelve votes, seven voted that the evidence was insufficient and it was a personal hallucination, two voted abstained, and only three voted in favor of listing it as a first-level warning."
"Seven people think it's an illusion?"
Lin Feng's tone was a little cold.
"Rift was closed, and no second living person came back to prove it. Those committee members felt that the words of a dying man were not credible."
Duan Hongyuan spread his hands helplessly, "It's a common problem in the bureaucracy that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Lin Feng stood up and took back the angled rune Storage Ring.
"Mr. Duan, I'll tell you the truth."
"Say."
"Dragon Kingdom There must be a big war, no, it's Blue Star."
Duan Hongyuan didn't answer the call.
Lin Feng continued, "We need to expand our military and prepare for war. We must establish a system for fighting alien races as soon as possible, and inform everyone about the presence of alien races. We cannot hide it."
Duan Hongyuan nodded. "I'll contact you right away..."
The next second.
An alarm sounded.
Sender: East Sea Defense Line Outpost Monitoring Station.
"Report! Abnormal space fluctuations occurred over East Sea!"
The other person's voice was trembling.
"Coordinates are being sent... Forty-seven kilometers away from the coastline, 500 meters high!"
Lin Feng and Duan Hongyuan looked at the holographic projection screen at the same time.
The screen automatically switched to the real-time satellite picture in the direction of the East Sea.
Above the sea, a dark Rift is opening out of thin air.
The edge of Rift glowed red, like an eye being torn open.
The width is expanding.
Ten meters.
Fifty meters.
One hundred meters.
Still expanding.
The voice in the communicator was still ringing, but it had changed its tone.
"Rift has expanded to two hundred meters! Three hundred meters! Still expanding!"
"A large number of lifeform signals detected approaching from inside Rift!"
"The quantity... the quantity is immeasurable!"
Lin Feng took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the East Sea.
"It's faster than expected."
