I Am Your Natural Enemy

”Is something wrong?”

Little Fire Seed waved its hand repeatedly, indicating that something was indeed wrong.

Wen Yan got up quickly, went to the rooftop, and looked towards the west, but saw nothing.

”It’s not Virtue City in trouble, is it?”

Little Fire Seed nodded repeatedly.

”Is it far away?”

Wen Yan didn’t hurry to call Feng Yao. He took out the phone issued by the Scorching Sun Department and asked the Black Box.

”From my current location, is there somewhere west of here where something is happening that requires intervention from the Scorching Sun Department?”

Black Box instantly provided a long list, detailing more than forty incidents currently occurring to the west that involved the Scorching Sun Department.

Wen Yan saw the first one. Among the dozens of incidents, this one had the highest priority.

So far, nearly a hundred people had already been drawn into danger.

Wen Yan quickly accessed the data and checked it out, wanting to know what incident was serious enough for Little Fire Seed to detect it from over a hundred kilometers away and wake him up.

He swiftly reviewed the current intelligence, capturing keywords - fire outbreak, paper money workshop, river jump, hallucinations, strong control, consciousness influence.

Visual trigger, and a few seconds ago, there was new intelligence indicating auditory trigger.

Wen Yan looked at Little Fire Seed, needing to understand why it was able to sense it; if it were a normal fire outbreak, Little Fire Seed definitely wouldn’t wake him.

Wen Yan immediately called Feng Wei. This timing perfectly matched Feng Wei’s most active period.

In less than ten minutes, Feng Wei appeared at the Big Intersection.

Wen Yan grabbed his gear and set off immediately.

Meanwhile, as the fire outbreak began spiraling out of control, beneath the calm surface of the West River, a dragon shadow sped closer.

On the calm river surface, wave crests gradually gathered, and when King Guilong arrived, the crests carried the river-jumping individuals to the other side of the levee.

The wave crests crossed the levee, heading straight for the paper money workshop.

King Guilong rode the waves, seeing the ten-meter-high flames, and glimpsed a colossal silhouette holding large handfuls of gold pages, continuously scattering them everywhere.

Seeing King Guilong, the silhouette began throwing more money, casting an illusion that told King Guilong, ”This money is yours; buy whatever you want.”

King Guilong’s pupils narrowed, exposing his fangs.

What damned creature dares to deceive him? It is truly courting death.

King Guilong swayed his body, raised the front half, stood atop the waves, and looked down at the fiery figure, letting out a dragon roar.

A dragon roar shattered the heavens and earth, sending a gust gale howling.

The immense roaring immediately subdued the sound of flames and the rustling of paper money.

With one roar, everything within a radius of twenty or thirty kilometers was crystal clear.

King Guilong rode the waves, surging past, extending a claw to grab the huge fiery figure’s head, his palm exerting pressure, instantly crushing the head.

The flames spiraled, and the decapitated fiery figure laughed maniacally, as its flames reformed another head.

King Guilong’s body swayed as he witnessed the waves emerging from the Great River, swirling around the workshop like spinning fire.

Everyone nearby was engulfed by the waters and conveniently sent to farther away.

With waves more than a dozen meters wide, circling with King Guilong from outside to inside, enveloping the entire workshop in one go.

The entire workshop was submerged in water on a three-dimensional level.

”Come, keep burning!”

The fiery figure over ten meters tall was submerged by a water column over twenty meters high. It could burn the nearby water at an incredible speed but could not withstand King Guilong personally handling it with the West River as support.

The spinning massive water column grew larger, forcefully extinguishing the flames, and the fiery figure’s body began to shrink, eventually vanishing in the water with an unwilling roar.

As the last flames disappeared, the heat was carried away by the water. King Guilong then directed the wave back into the West River.

When Wen Yan arrived, he saw King Guilong had already completed the fire extinction and returned with the waves to the West River.

He didn’t rush to observe King Guilong; extinguishing a fire was, at best, like a post-meal stroll for King Guilong.

Follow-up treatment involved field agents rushing to assist, along with firefighters handling things. Wen Yan showed his credentials and came to the workshop’s edge.

Little Fire Seed emerged from his collar, pointing in a direction.

Wen Yan stepped into the fire scene, where everything was charred black, and he could still tell it was once a temporary warehouse for finished paper money. Following Little Fire Seed’s direction, he discovered a charred corpse in the muddy ground.

”Is it this person?”

Little Fire Seed confirmed, puffing its mouth and blowing a weak flame at the corpse on the ground.

In the next moment, tiny sparks gathered from within the charred body, forming a cluster that flew out, heading towards the weak flame Little Fire Seed had blown.

Little Fire Seed opened its mouth to swallow the tiny sparks, then returned to Wen Yan’s hand and spat out stuff resembling ashes.

The ashes were warm, seemingly never cooling down.

”Is this what you sensed left behind?”

Little Fire Seed confirmed.

”Equivalent to leftover ashes after death?”

Little Fire Seed refuted.

”So, you’re saying the person responsible for these events hasn’t actually died yet?”

Little Fire Seed confirmed.

Wen Yan’s brows furrowed slightly. If Little Fire Seed sensed it, it must be something related to fire.

Moreover, this damned thing hadn’t completely died but could still deceive King Guilong.

Even King Guilong personally came, surely he couldn’t have missed that this wasn’t just an ordinary fire outbreak.

Little Fire Seed could sense it from over a hundred kilometers; this entity couldn’t just be a small fry.
