My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 207 - 206 Shao Zifeng • The Cercis Duke (24)

Chapter 207 -206: Shao Zifeng • The Cercis Duke (2/4) Chapter 207 -206: Shao Zifeng • The Cercis Duke (2/4) In the command center of the Yundu City Abnormal Administration Bureau, a solemn silence prevailed, as everyone was busy with their assigned tasks in a tense atmosphere.

Zhao Liqian personally presided over the command, surrounded by the heads of various departments. The brightly lit hall’s walls were adorned by a massive screen, portioned into dozens of panels, each displaying real-time surveillance footage.

“Reporting to command, Squad 01 has not identified any anomalies…”

“Reporting to command, Squad 02 has not identified any anomalies…”

“Reporting to command, Squad 03…”

Snap!

After reports from a dozen squads had been completed, Zhao Liqian placed the spinning pen in his hand onto the table. It was yet another report like this tonight; he’d lost count of how many times they’d come up.

Zhao Liqian turned to his deputy and began to say, “I’m going to the bathroom,”

Before he could finish his sentence, emergency lights within the command center began flashing suddenly, and everyone’s heart skipped a beat, their gaze unanimously shifting to the large screen.

The screen showed two surveillance feeds starting to flicker with static, shaking violently for a few moments before cutting to black completely.

Zhao Liqian shot up from his seat, grabbed the microphone in front of him, and called out with urgency, “Squad 11, if you can hear me, please respond…”

Static…

The sound of electrical current echoed in the command center, giving everyone a bad feeling.

Zhao Liqian said sternly, “Communications technician, immediately locate the position from where Squad 11 last sent their signal.”

“Yes, sir!”

The cluttered sound of keyboard typing followed, and the entire large screen switched to a map of the Yundu City area, where a circular icon with crosshairs was quickly honing in on a location.

“Director, the address has been locked in.”

“Sync the address to all squads, and order Squads 10 and 12 to immediately proceed to the location of the incident.”

“Yes, sir!”

After arranging everything, Zhao Liqian sat back down, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on the red dot on the large screen.

That was the last known location of Squad 11.

…

On the rooftop of Yundu Hotel, Shao Zifeng was slumped over, straddling Qiuqiu in a disheveled manner.

Qiuqiu expelled a stream of hot air from its nostrils, its golden-red vertical pupils filled with bloodshot strains, as it shook its head and unsteadily rose to its feet.

Whoosh.

Shao Zifeng sat astride Qiuqiu, his face flushed with excitement as he pulled a hidden blade at a 45° angle pointing to the sky from his travel bag and declared, “The grand Duke of the Empire, the commander of the Queen’s Guard, the mightiest Dragon Rider, Shao Zifeng of the Bauhinia Order stands before you.”

“Roar!”

As Shao Zifeng finished speaking, Qiuqiu considerately roared in response, its formidable dragonic presence spreading out.

In an instant, Yundu Hotel exploded into commotion, light after light turning on, the sound of panicked screaming continuous and unending.

Shao Zifeng, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth and a dazed look in his eyes, pounded his chest with the hand holding the blade and said, “Damn rebels, daring to obstruct the march of the Duke’s iron cavalry. Qiuqiu of the Bauhinia Order, I command you to rush to the battlefield immediately, for the glory of the Empire! For the Queen’s glory!”

“Roar~”

Qiuqiu of the Bauhinia Order responded with another dragon roar, shaking its head as it walked forward a few steps.

Standing on the edge of the rooftop, it lunged forward, plummeting directly from the rooftop of the Yundu Hotel.

…

Inside Room 1101, Li Yiming, pale-faced, cautiously peered out of the window, trembling lightly as the memory of the recent occurrence still sent shivers down his spine.

Abruptly awakened by a sudden roar, he felt inexplicably insignificant in that moment.

Under the shadow’s embrace, his heart seemed to be clenched tightly, as if his life hung by a thread, at the mercy of that unknown mutant creature’s fleeting thought.

His face covered in cold sweat reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window, Li Yiming wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and the trembling of his body was slowly dissipating with time.

Whoosh!

Just then, a massive shadow suddenly flashed past the window outside, Li Yiming covered his mouth, trying to suppress his own panic, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably once again.

That feeling just now…

Boom.

Before he could react, a blinding light burst from outside the window, and the floor-to-ceiling window creaked as if it could no longer bear the burden.

The temperature in the room rapidly increased, and the sudden dry heat turned the room into a steamer.

Li Yiming stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide open. In the place where his reflection had been, a ferocious mutant creature was staring back at him, its golden-red vertical pupils filled with indifference.

Behind it, a pair of wings ablaze with flames flapped, and within the flames, a human figure could vaguely be seen.

The mutant creature looked at him for a while and then, with a fierce flap of its wings, shot up the side of the Yundu Hotel toward the sky.

‘Roar!!’

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crazy hot air blast waves swept through, and the entire glass wall of the Yundu Hotel shattered.

Cracks quickly spread across the floor-to-ceiling window.

After a moment, all was quiet once again.

Li Yiming looked at the floor-to-ceiling window full of cracks in front of him, the air slightly distorted by the high temperature.

He seemed to remember something and stumbled toward Shao Zifeng’s room.

“Shao… Brother Shao.”

Bang.

Li Yiming pushed the door open forcefully, and the door slammed against the wall before rebounding back.

Seeing the empty room before him, the curtains fluttering in the night breeze and Shao Zifeng no longer on the bed,

he leaned against the door and slowly collapsed to the ground, turning his head to look at the empty table in the living room, somewhat dazed.

It’s over.

I’ve caused trouble.

“Qiuqiu•Duke of Crape Myrtle, as your Contract Knight, I command you, full speed ahead!”

In the dark night sky, Shao Zifeng clung tightly to Qiuqiu’s neck, the fierce wind blowing his hair, and this sensation of floating above the clouds excited the drunken him immensely.

“Roar!”

Qiuqiu’s eyes were bloodshot with excitement as it let out a long howl. It very much liked this game of wantonly roaming with Shao Zifeng.

The flames on its wings burned even fiercer, and its already huge wingspan kept extending, trailing a long tail of flame.

With an even more massive flap of its wings, Qiuqiu’s speed increased once again.

Hum.

After a bout of intense turbulence, the surroundings suddenly became eerily silent, and even the fierce winds vanished without a trace.

Shao Zifeng slowly straightened up and looked around to find that a protective layer similar to ripple clouds appeared around Qiuqiu’s body. Underneath that protective layer, it felt like being in a sealed cockpit, completely devoid of any airflow turbulence.

Qiuqiu was flying high, and the city below was barely visible, like a web of veins, while a glance upward revealed a sky full of shining stars, even with the thin layer of clouds.

Feeling dizzy, Shao Zifeng spread his arms wide: “Qiuqiu•Duke of Crape Myrtle, slow down, this doesn’t feel good, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah…”

Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu quickly reduced the frequency of its wing-beats.

As soon as it slowed down, the ripple cloud protective layer instantly dissipated, and Shao Zifeng, as if hit hard, was swept off Qiuqiu’s back by the violent wind.
