I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Chapter 407 The Sleeping Monster Underground

During the evening rush hour, speed limits are in place on the roads.

Zhao Xiaoyu and Chen Hao finished their patrol and came to pick up Li Xinjie and Wang Mingyuan.

New regulations have been added to the lower three levels: except for work-related reasons, flying is prohibited, but Zhao Xiaoyu and Chen Hao can use skills and magical artifacts to go to work and patrol.

However, getting around after get off work wasn't very convenient, so Zhao Xiaoyu bought a car.

The others hitched rides to and from work, and since they all lived together, Zhao Xiaoyu didn't find it troublesome and enjoyed it.

The two waited in the car for half an hour. Usually, Wang Mingyuan and Li Xinjie would be waiting at the door long beforehand.

Zhao Xiaoyu peeked at the building entrance and asked in confusion, "Why is it so late today? Mingyuan is one thing, but Xinjie is someone who always leaves work at five o'clock. Where did she go?"

Chen Hao sat silently in the passenger seat.

Life on the lower three levels was becoming increasingly comfortable, but this was not what he wanted. He needed to find a way to return to the Holy Land.

Chen Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any new information from the Holy Domain? Should we take over the lower three levels or not?"

Zhao Xiaoyu was a little confused by this sudden question. She scratched her head and thought for a moment, "I don't know, I don't have any here anyway."

"The envoys from the Holy Land aren't just us; they might have obtained some clues from others. It wouldn't be wise for the lower three levels to take over at this time."

Chen Hao recalled the tragic situation of the middle three levels due to the demon invasion, "That's true, a mess that no one is handling, there's nowhere to cry, let's just wait and see."

At this moment, Li Xinjie followed Wang Mingyuan out of the United College building.

The two got into the car and sat in the back.

Li Xinjie changed her usual lazy demeanor and became serious.

Wang Mingyuan said, "Everyone should prepare in advance, there's going to be big trouble on the lower three levels."

"Is it related to the matter that Mingxuan went to investigate?" Zhao Xiaoyu keenly sensed it.

“Okay.” Wang Mingyuan nodded. “The captain just called us and told everyone to keep their phones on and, if necessary, to use the communication device I made to coordinate with Mingxuan’s actions.”

Chen Hao finally understood why Li Xinjie had suddenly become serious; it turned out that Yan Hei had said it.

Li Xinjie said, "Mingxuan told us to go to Shuijiang Valley first. There are many ordinary people there. Not only are people from the United Academy keeping an eye on us, but there are also many staff members from the Six Departments. The safety of ordinary people is the top priority, and we must not alert them. We must be careful to stay hidden."

Chen Hao: "Understood."

"Understood," Zhao Xiaoyu replied, then drove to Shuijiang Valley.

……

On the banks of the Yunhe River.

In an underground passage, Pei Qian stared at the bottomless tunnel and couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

Ye Heifeng pulled down his hat brim. "So many of them. It's amazing that those demonic beasts from Tian Suo can still be in the city. It seems the seal here is quite interesting."

Pei Qian looked at Ye Heifeng.

Ye Heifeng's eyes widened suddenly, and he roared, "What are you looking at? Get lost! If I, your Uncle Ye, could handle this, would I be under the oppression of those old guys from the United Academy?"

Pei Qian quietly turned his head away.

The narrow passageway was sealed from all sides, making it difficult for awakened individuals with weaker detection abilities to find. However, Ye Heifeng had mastered the secrets of his master's teachings.

Zhang Zhou's abilities are beyond question.

Ye Heifeng and Pei Qian searched all around Yunhe. There was nothing on the ground, and someone was watching from above, so only the ground remained.

As soon as he came down, Ye Heifeng sensed something unusual.

Sure enough, there was a clue.

This clue, however, made Ye Heifeng want to run away.

He felt that by doing this, he could not only clear himself of the matter of harming Lin Yan, but also demand compensation for emotional distress from the United Academy.

Pei Qian looked at the cracks in the wall, where tiny fluorescent lights shone, and asked, "Are all of these monsters inside?"

Ye Heifeng nodded emphatically: "Yes, great demons! Some are very old, some are even five or six hundred thousand years old and have been transformed into human form. Of course, there are also humans, but they are all dead."

"How is this going?"

"Who knows?" Ye Heifeng suddenly stopped. "There's something ahead, be careful."

Pei Qian nodded.

With their hearts in their throats, the two walked forward very cautiously. The passage widened and became pitch black inside.

Ye Heifeng did not notice anything unusual and continued walking forward.

Five steps later, the surrounding candles spontaneously combusted, illuminating the area instantly.

What came into view was a teleportation platform.

Ye Heifeng used his divine sense to scan the surroundings and found no danger. "Let's go up and take a look."

“Okay,” Pei Qian replied and followed behind, and the two walked over.

In the center of the teleportation platform, strange patterns were carved. All around was silence, and the power of attributes flowed peacefully and naturally.

Pei Qian suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "It's a teleportation array!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Heifeng was even more surprised, as he had never seen him before, yet this kid knew about him.

"You know him?"

"Yes, it's recorded in the books passed down from our ancestors. It's a very ancient teleportation array, and the patterns are still there, which means it can still be activated. But the conditions... we don't know what they are. Uncle Ye, should we try it with spirit stones?"

"Idiot!" Ye Heifeng slammed his head down. "Have you ever seen a formation master use spirit stones as formation keys? Is breaking a formation that easy? Do you think it's a joke that hundreds of low-level formations can trap a peak Void Breaking Realm cultivator?"

Pei Qian suddenly realized: "That makes sense. Everyone who can become a formation master is full of bad intentions and wouldn't set such simple conditions. The fact that the demon could open the teleportation array means that the conditions are related to the demon race."

"Leave this teleportation array for now." Ye Heifeng's expression changed drastically, and he turned around with a furrowed brow. "Immediately notify the United Academy; those demonic beasts need to be dealt with as soon as possible."

"what happened?"

"The seal has loosened! Haven't you noticed that some of the sealing points are gone? Those powerful demons will awaken in a few days, hurry!"

……

Friday afternoon.

In the few days since Lin Yan returned, she has begun to study the ancient isolation array. With her current abilities, she can rescue Shi Jing, but breaking the array is not an easy task.

Furthermore, persuading the leader is also a troublesome matter. The fact that Shi Jing could be kept in the forbidden area is enough to prove that he had the ability to destroy the world in the past.

It's probably even more terrifying now.

As Lin Yan was pondering, the doorbell rang.

She used her divine sense to see that there was a girl in a school uniform outside.

Children's Book Spirit?

The neighbor's daughter suffered a backlash from her attribute disorder that day, and Tong Shuling knocked on her door. However, Tong Shuling was indeed an ordinary person without any attribute rings.

Lin Yan seemed to be deep in thought, then switched to an ordinary human body to open the door.

"Lin Yan." A girl with a schoolbag on her back greeted her with a pure smile.

Lin Yan responded with a smile, "Book Spirit, is get out of class over?"

“Hmm,” Tong Shuling nodded, “There’s an event at Ark Garden tomorrow where four people can get a cute, harmless little monster for free. We’re one short, do you want to come with us?”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yan with a face full of anticipation.

Ordinary people cannot enter the dangerous forest, so those strangely shaped little monsters become rare species.

It's fine for Ark Park to make some money from ticket sales, but the little monsters will grow up. If no one stops these kinds of activities, won't the monsters just run rampant in the city?

A strange look flashed in Lin Yan's eyes. She went to see what was going on and agreed, "Okay."

Tong Shuling: ?(?＞?＜?)?

Tong Shuling was visibly excited and delighted. Suddenly, she remembered something and pulled a bag of snacks from her backpack. "Here, this is for you. It's the latest stuff I bought at the store. You never go out, so you probably wouldn't know."

Lin Yan was taken aback. "You brought this for me?"

"Mmm." Tong Shuling stuffed the snacks into her arms and zipped up her backpack.

Just then, the door next door opened, and a kind-looking middle-aged woman said softly, "Lingling, it's time to eat. Lin Yan, come and eat with us too."

Lin Yan replied, "I've already eaten, thank you Auntie. Shuling, go back and eat now."

Tong Shuling moved slowly, "Remember tomorrow."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I remember, I remember. I'll be waiting for you at the door first thing tomorrow morning."

After she went inside, Lin Yan closed the door and returned to the room. A blue halo appeared under his feet, his soul entered Lan Feiyu's body, and his physical body entered the storage device.

Surrounded by elemental energy, Lin Yan placed the bag of snacks in her storage container and took out her phone to make a call.
