Chapter 2446 - The Bohai Dragon King (2/2)

Zhang Xiaohou shared the same thought. Every building close to the sea was a useful assembling spot for the Mages when they were fending off the sea monsters.

“General, look!” The head scout pointed in another direction.

It was some old gray buildings, but there were still clothes being dried on the balconies. The buildings were obviously occupied.

From their angle, they could see people, who looked like tiny sand particles from this height, running into the open outside the building.

The people were escaping from the building. It looked like they were moving very slowly because Zhang Xiaohou and his men were watching from such a great altitude.

The buildings started collapsing as huge clouds of dust were swept into the air. The buildings in the whole area had collapsed in just several minutes!

The buildings did not break or crumble, but the floors, walls, and pillars had all turned into powder. The dust being swept into the air looked like a giant ball from above.

“Is there an attack!?” Hua Yuezhu immediately exclaimed in alarm.

The buildings clearly did not collapse because they were being demolished. There were residents still fleeing from the buildings.

To their relief, the buildings had turned into powder as they were collapsing. Otherwise, the falling debris would have resulted in great casualties.

“Captain Tian, go check it out,” Zhang Xiaohou ordered.

“Affirmative!”

The head scout dove down with his Triumphant Eagle Dragon, leaving a spectacular spiraling flow of air along its trail.

The head scout returned after some time. He saluted and said, “General, I didn’t discover any demon creatures.”

Zhang Xiaohou was constantly observing the ground and the area. He also had not picked up any presence of sea monsters.

“What did the people say?” Hua Yuezhu asked sharply.

Tan Feng immediately glared at Hua Yuezhu. Hua Yuezhu realized she been too eager, and lowered her head like she had made a mistake.

“What did the people say?” Zhang Xiaohou repeated helplessly.

“The people said the same thing has happened in the past. The people would build wooden huts with coniferous trees on the beach and let the waves carry them away. Apparently, the Bohai Sea has a Dragon King that is fond of them. It would take away the huts to repair its undersea palace,” the head scout said.

“What Dragon King? There are only sea monsters in the sea!” Hua Yuezhu protested.

“Rumors of the Dragon King are common in the East and South China Seas, and the Bohai Sea. They each have a different version of the legend,” Tan Feng corrected her.

“So you are saying it’s a common phenomenon around here?” Zhang Xiaohou asked.

“Yes, according to the residents. They say a lot of people have forgotten about the old legend, so the Dragon King is angry at them. It has destroyed the buildings without hurting anyone as a warning,” the head scout said.

Zhang Xiaohou was completely puzzled at this point.

On the other hand, there were too many unexplainable phenomena in the world.. If the same thing had happened in the past, they would not have worried too much about it, as long as there were no casualties.
