The people in Luning County had started to move, but most residents were willing to build simple houses and stay behind out of fear and respect to the Bohai Dragon King.

According to their beliefs, they were asking forgiveness from the Bohai Dragon King!

When Zhang Xiaohou and his men returned to Luning County, they could see a lot of wooden huts had been built from coniferous trees along the beach.

The wooden huts were facing the sea. Some of them even had delicate carvings, bright paint, and blue lines on them so they would resemble the Dragon King’s palace.

Most importantly, there were some wooden huts in a town close to Luning County. These huts were perfectly unharmed.

As a result, more people now believed in the practice of offering wooden huts to the Dragon King!

“What year is it already? Why are they so superstitious?” Hua Yuezhu scoffed.

“It’s not really about being superstitious. Everyone was under great pressure after the terrifying incident. They are just trying to look for comfort through simple rituals. Not everyone truly believes the Dragon King is real,” Tan Feng explained in a reasonable voice.

The land of the Linhai District in Luning County was around a hundred meters higher than the sea level. The dust the buildings had turned into was still covering its streets.

“General, you haven’t told us what our mission is,” Captain Tian inquired.

The rest of the troops were extremely curious, too. Zhang Xiaohou had met the chief in person. The mission given by the chief had to be unusual!

“The truth is, the military knows what is responsible for the incident,” Zhang Xiaohou told them.

“So, are we going to look for its traces and take it out?”

Zhang Xiaohou shook his head, as he took out a confidential file. “We are going after a unique species. The military calls them the Dragon King Krill,” Zhang Xiaohou informed them.

“Dragon King Krill?!” Everyone was astounded.

Did that mean Luning County had been invaded by demon creatures? Why didn’t they see anything? What form did the Dragon King Krill take?

Zhang Xiaohou knew everyone was puzzled. He asked Tan Feng to collect a lot of seawater from the nearby beach.

Tan Feng was a Water Mage. He controlled the seawater and poured it into a pit surrounded by rocks.

“The Dragon King Krill are inside there,” Zhang Xiaohou told them.

The others immediately went closer and stared at the water in the pit, but they did not notice anything unusual.
