Chapter 2: The Night the Raven Died

When the sky darkened, Lu Nan had already walked out of the station. He followed the huge wave of crowds squeezing through the narrow exit gates, standing on the side of the road and looking up at the sky.

Tonight it was cloudy and there were no stars.

It didn't take long for a man in a black trench coat to walk up with hurried steps, clenching his fists and respectfully visible to the naked eye.

"Instructor, I'm late."

Lu Nan hummed softly, and the man stood up. He is a side member of the Chen family and a former student of Lu Nan.

It may be strange to say it, Lu Nan is just a young man who has just turned eighteen years old this year, and this member of the side line is running for the third year, so he doesn't look like a person of the same generation, and theoretically he shouldn't be Lu Nan's student.

But judging from the results, not only him, but most of the Chen family's side personnel in the past two years have received special training from Lu Nan before being assigned to various places.

The Chen family is not a family known for its martial arts, so every year a 60-year-old master with the highest martial arts level in China, the 'Golden Dragon', is invited to train members who are leaving the family.

But that all changed when Lu Nan was fourteen years old. That year, the early riser was wandering in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and happened to meet Lu Nan, who was sitting on a stone slab meditating.

The master is worthy of being a master, seeing a handsome child is like going up to teach two hands, Lu Nan, who is cold by nature, did not refuse, and simply punched a set of punches and danced the knife.

After finishing the incident, the master stood in place and was stunned for a long time, didn't say anything, and suddenly left.

He never came to Chen's house again, and he was no longer a teacher.

Later, the head of the Chen family, who learned everything, said, 'Hey, that old man has real things and is a teacher.' ’

Lu Nan became the instructor of the younger generation of the Chen family, and the head of the family said that those who have the ability should give full play to their abilities, otherwise there will be no meaning in being born.

A black Mercedes-Benz as deep as night stopped on the side of the road, and the man in the trench coat opened the door for Lu Nan and invited him into the car, and then sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Mercedes-Benz drove into the night, and while the dusk street lights were on, Lu Nan had an extra document in his hand. Lu Nan opened it, and several frightened faces came into view.

"Half a month ago, a half-breed who broke through the critical blood line appeared in this city, and she attacked and killed a total of forty-three human males, with an estimated strength of B-class."

"You're good enough to solve it." Lu Nan said casually.

In this seemingly ordinary world, human beings with many supernatural powers exist, and they have inherited an ancient and great dragon bloodline, far surpassing normal humans in all qualities.

They are hybrids, in the definition of human beings, hybrids are divided into grades by the purity of dragon blood, from top to bottom are five grades A to E, most of the members sent by the Chen family are between B and A, with the advantage of numbers, it is more than enough to solve a B-level half-blood.

"Theoretically." The man in the trench coat smiled bitterly, "But her speech is extremely special, we can't find her at all, she is like a cautious mouse, hiding well." ”

I see, this is probably the reason to let myself out, Lu Nan closed the document and closed his eyes.

A bell rang in the distance, as if from eternity, long and majestic.

Lu Nan relaxed his mind and went with it.

.

Tick –

The sound of water sounded, Lu Nan opened his eyes, and the deep Mercedes and the man in the windbreaker driving the car had disappeared, and he was standing in the dark.

The pale light suddenly lit up, illuminating everything around him. It was a large circular platform, like the moon seen in the night sky, pale with several large black spots.

It was eight black sculptures like mountains, their grandeur, their majestic backs, their huge wings covering the sky and the sun, their sharp fangs seeping with blood.

All the half-bloods will fall to their knees when they get here, not because these monsters are terrible, but because their blood comes from them, they are the eight high-ranking dragon kings.

Under the dragon king, all beings prostrate.

Lu Nan didn't look at them, and walked straight to the center of the platform. They're magnificent, but it's not really about them. If you look closely, you will find that the eight statues stand like the ancient Chinese Tai Chi, standing in eight directions, with the huge dragon heads slightly lowered, facing the center in unison.

In the center, a statue stands proudly, and no human word can describe it alone, but must be served together, as if all the words used for praise were created for it.

Its name was Nidhogg, the first dragon to appear in this world, and the blood of the half-breed came from those eight dragon kings, but the blood of the eight dragon kings all came from it.

From under it, the dragons prostrate.

But what Lu Nan was looking for was not it.

Come to a small statue at the foot of Nidhogg. The statue was smaller than all the statues present, so small that they couldn't even reach their toes. At the same time, she is also the only statue here that is not a dragon.

No one knew why she was standing here, not even Lu Nan.

But it was she who Lu Nan was looking for, and he reached out and gently attached to her cheek, the movements as gentle as applying dew to Nono's forehead in the morning.

If Nono were here, he would be surprised, because the statue was exactly like her, and it was carved out of her.

"I need your help." Lu Nan said.

Tick –

A drop of crystal dew slowly dripped from the statue's eye socket and fell softly on Lu Nan's hand, the statue's facial expression suddenly changed, his eyebrows drooped, and he looked extremely sad.

There was a knife-like pain in his heart, but Lu Nan's expression was still light, and he gently smeared the tears on his forehead.

A huge dragon groan suddenly sounded from all directions, and all the dragon king statues opened their mouths to face the sky.

A bell rang again in the distance.

.

When he opened his eyes again, Lu Nan returned to the dark Mercedes-Benz, and the man in the trench coat drove quietly, knowing nothing about what Lu Nan was doing.

It didn't take long for Mercedes-Benz to stop, and the man in the windbreaker respectfully opened the door for Lu Nan. Lu Nan got out of the car and looked at the tall building in front of him.

"It's the tallest building in the city, and it's owned by an Italian family." The man in the trench coat said, "From here, you can overlook the whole city. ”

Lu Nan nodded slightly and walked in, took the luxurious and fast elevator to the top floor, passed through the iron gate of the same style as the prison, and when he came to the edge of the rooftop, a pair of black eyes happened to light up with an incomparably bright gold.

The man in the trench coat who followed Lu Nan shivered, and a feeling of being watched was spreading in his heart.

A special ability belonging to the dragon class was activated.

Spirits and bloodlines

Serial Number: 02

Lineage: Black Dragon Nidhogg

Danger level: Low

Dozens of blood-colored threads appeared in Lu Nan's eyes, they were thick and thin, one connecting Lu Nan, and the other end passed through the high-rise buildings, connecting all the creatures with dragon blood in the city.

Soon Lu Nan found the target this time, she hid in the ground of a bungalow, the silk thread connected to her shook violently, Lu Nan knew that this was a manifestation of her imminent collapse.

Traditional bloodline knots can't see this, and usually, the bloodline knots released by ordinary half-breeds cover the campus of a university at most, and it is impossible to cover the entire city like Lu Nan or even see the state of the other party.

Because he's special.

"Instructor." The man in the trench coat walked up and handed Lu Nan a dark black backpack, Lu Nan took it, let his body tilt, and fell straight down.

...

Bloodline

It has been rated as one of the lowest upper limits of the Spirit of Speech, because the spirit of the releaser is unguarded when using the Spirit of Speech.

Some individuals are powerful enough to hide themselves from the Resonance, and even more powerful individuals can even use the Bloodline Resonance to kill the Releaser in turn.

Therefore, when facing a Dragon King-level target at close range, the spirit is disabled.

...

The ravens flew in the moonlight, the babies screamed in the cradles, the lights were dim and they couldn't sprinkle all over the room, and where they couldn't shine, the huge black shadows danced on the walls, and there was a wild beauty.

The woman gasped for breath, her dark golden eyes sunken inward, her bony and ghostly shape, her hands holding her head covered in blood, because the cold light of her fingers and claws had been inserted into the hideous and terrifying head.

Someone came, someone came, someone came.

She screamed in pain, and in her view, a guy with huge 'black wings' was approaching.

Can't resist, can't resist, can't resist.

He was so powerful that the woman felt as if her soul was trembling, and she knew that it would be her time of death when the man found her.

Act fast!

She came to a corner of the room, where a baby stroller was sitting, and the baby inside was crying loudly, not knowing whether it was hungry or feeling the same danger as the woman.

In front of the baby, there are two large syringes, the one on the left is a blue liquid like the sea, and the one on the right is transparent and colorless. The woman quickly grabbed the right needle, carefully turned the baby over, and injected the liquid into the needle.

The baby was still crying and hissing with all his might, but the crying soon became quieter.

The little one fell asleep.

Tick –

Muddy tears poured down the baby's forehead, and the woman's hideous face rippled with great sadness that did not fit her monstrous image, and she grabbed the needle with the pale blue liquid, grabbed the floor of the bungalow with her fingerclaws and ran out.

Run, run, she shone silver, like a line drawn by a highlighter on a piece of black paper, and even the athletes of the Olympics would scream at the sight because this guy was so fast that he threw Bolt several streets!

But the woman still didn't seem satisfied, she took out the needle from her bosom, and plunged it into the artery in her neck, clanging, and the sound of the needle breaking sounded.

Standing in its way was a huge scale, like a snake, like a crocodile, and it wasn't something that humans should have, and the light that flickered on her body was the reflection of the moonlight.

The woman got anxious, bit the blood vessels on her wrists, then stuffed the whole needle into her mouth and bit it, and injected it into her body with her lips.

Thorn -

The black wings burst out of her back, and the blood was mixed with the foul-smelling slime, and the ugly wings were desperately urged by their owners as soon as they were born, and they were quickly stirred up, and although they were not very skilled, she still flew.

It's a pity that she's still too slow.

The moment the silver light appeared, the screams tore through the night. The knife-wielding boy fell from the sky, and the woman's newly flown figure slammed into the ground, the remaining black wings trembling violently, and she twitched on the ground like a raven with its wings cut off.

There was a loud bang not far away, it was the flying machine used by Lu Nan and smashed on the ground, this kind of monster that I don't know which institution researched was ferocious and abnormal, if Lu Nan didn't fall off halfway, he would definitely fall into the ground like a woman.

The guys who invented this thing never seemed to think about how to land, and if there was a choice, Lu Nan would definitely not use what they made again.

But now, it's time to deal with what's in front of you.

The knife quickly slashed at the woman's other wing, and the wing fell in response, splashing a black field of blood.

The woman screamed in pain, a pair of arms waved quickly but couldn't reach Lu Nan, because she was firmly stepped on, and even the ground under her abdomen was shattered, how could she get up?

"Are you lonely?" Lu Nan suddenly asked, his voice extremely soft.

The woman struggled violently and did not answer, the liquid in the needle tube had flowed all over her body along the beating heart, the huge muscles with lines broke through the epidermis, and the naked eye was visible to the powerful and hideous, a white viscous liquid seeped out of the muscle fibers and slowly condensed into scales.

But she still couldn't get up, she was held down.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." There was a hint of apology in Lu Nan's words, "You should be lonely, they are eager to go back, I'm sorry." ”

The simple three words contained endless tenderness, but at the moment when he finished speaking, the cold light flickered again.

The knife has no emotion, it is not gentle.

...

Lu Nan returned to the huge platform, different from usual, there was a trace of sadness in his eyebrows.

This time, he came back with some red spherical light. They floated quietly around Lu Nan's body. Obviously just a few seconds ago, they were rioting in the woman's body, but now they are extremely well-behaved.

"Where do you belong?" Lu Nan asked.

The rays of light paused for a few seconds, then flew softly forward. Lu Nan followed them to a huge statue of the Dragon King.

This dragon king statue has a rebellious demeanor, even if he looks at the Nidhogg statue in the center, even if he lowers his head, there is no respect in the dragon's eyes.

"King of the Sky." Lu Nan pronounced its name.

Tick –

The rays fell, and in front of the statue of the King of the Sky was a large pit containing clear water. The water rose about two centimeters as the blood fell in.

As if in return, two faint blue rays of light lit up from the statue of the King of the Sky and flew out from its eyebrows, one melted into Lu Nan's eyebrows, rippling ripples on his body, and the other light fell on Lu Nan's hand, and a message appeared in his mind.

Raven

Bloodline: King of the Sky and Wind

The user can summon a raven, which can replace the user's eyes. The monitoring range is twenty meters.

...

Raven.

In some myths and legends, ravens are believed to be incarnated by the ghosts of those who have been killed; In Germany, they have become the souls of the cursed who cannot escape from the world.

In Norse mythology, the main god Odin has a raven on each shoulder, one Hugin and one Munin, representing thought and memory, respectively; They are Odin's extended eyes and ears to see and hear all the hidden things of the world.

- The raven's insight and good news symbolize supreme wisdom.
