Zhang Xiaohou was on a mission, and could not afford to stay for too long. He asked the head scout to regroup with the rest of the troop so they could continue on their journey.

The Flying Dragon beat its wings and flew higher into the sky.

The Flying Dragons usually flew at an altitude of over ten thousand meters, similar to most commercial flights, but not every creature could withstand the cold when flying at such an extreme altitude.

Zhang Xiaohou took a final worried glance at the ground as his mount was soaring into the clouds.

He could only see half of the land below because the thick clouds were obscuring things.

The gray buildings, as tiny as lego blocks, were scattered close to some gentle hills in the vast terrain. The area close to the mountains was most likely the main district of the county. The buildings were denser there than those close to the sea.

When the buildings were almost blocked off by the clouds, Zhang Xiaohou noticed round gray clouds engulfing some of those buildings.

The sky was silent as the strange phenomenon occurred on the ground. Zhang Xiaohou thought he was imagining things again.

“Dive down!” Zhang Xiaohou suddenly ordered.

His men had no idea what was going on. They only saw Zhang Xiaohou pulling the lead reins on the Flying Dragon. The majestic creature immediately dove from the sky!

The Flying Dragon did not fold its wings. It pulled its wings toward its tail, making its head and body into a long triangle. Its dive left two visible lines on both sides as its wings sliced through the air. It soon passed through the layer of clouds.

The others immediately followed and dove for the ground too, but the Triumphant Eagle Dragons were slower than the Flying Dragon. They were quickly left some distance behind.

Zhang Xiaohou gradually approached the ground. He could see the intertwining roads, patches of farmlands and wetlands, and people fleeing in panic.

However, he felt a shiver running down his spine when he noticed the buildings had all disappeared!

All the buildings were razed to the ground, as if they were destroyed by a celestial being. Their remains, now in the form of dust clouds, loomed over the district. Thousands of people were standing on the streets and staring at their surroundings like they were having a nightmare in total disbelief and fear!

Not a single building was left, including those with only a single story.

Even the strongest earthquake would not turn all the buildings into powder in just an instant. Most importantly, an earthquake would cause strong quakes and leave cracks in the ground everywhere.

However, the ground was perfectly fine without any sign of damage, yet the buildings of an entire county had all collapsed and turned into dust!

Zhang Xiaohou could not believe his eyes.

It would take a huge amount of power to cause such a terrifying phenomenon. Even a Great Ruler could not destroy the buildings so cleanly and silently!

However, Zhang Xiaohou did not notice anything strange as he searched the ‘bald’ county.

There was no sign of a powerful demon creature’s presence and no trails had been left behind by the culprit. The whole county had effectively disappeared, but its residents were all unharmed.

Some of the people were living in taller buildings, but the hills of dust the buildings had turned into cushioned their falls and saved their lives.
