Chapter 58 Torrential Rain
Chief Liang left in a hurry to report the information about the [Foggy Spring], while Tang Yue planned to stay in Bo City for a while to help the local residents resist the demonic calamity.
It should still be some time before the Black Vatican plan can be implemented. Ling Tianyu will head back home to rest and recuperate before facing the challenges of the Bo City disaster in full force.
Mo Fan's father, Mo Jiaxing, also temporarily stopped his work driving cars after being persuaded by Ling Tianyu.
In the current situation, with the Black Vatican and demons lurking around, driving a car outside is far too dangerous.
According to the original storyline, the Black Vatican's operation was still a few days away. But now it seems that, under his influence, the Black Vatican is very likely to act ahead of schedule.
"Please note that demons are rampant outside the city. Residents are advised to avoid going out unless absolutely necessary."
"Please note..."
Bocheng Radio broadcast the report.
It seems that the [Foggy Spring] incident, along with the underground passage in Bo City, has finally alerted the higher-ups.
This is already the best possible outcome. Many residential buildings are equipped with iron gates, so even if there are hidden tunnels that the military has not discovered, it will not be easy for demons that have infiltrated the city to harm ordinary people.
Although people were uneasy, they did not cause any unusual disturbance because of their trust in the human magicians.
The operation is currently underway, with the military, the Magic Association, the Hunter's Alliance, and other powerful forces deploying a large number of mages to destroy the tunnels, and good news is frequently reported.
It is estimated that apart from the higher-ups, no one knows that all of Bocheng's actions originated from an ordinary senior high school student.
Ling Tianyu had already given all the necessary reminders, and Bocheng had begun to take action. If there were any unexpected situations, Ling Tianyu would be powerless to help.
Letting out a long breath, Ling Tianyu sat cross-legged on the living room sofa, immersing himself in his mental universe and gazing at the restless plant nebula in the center.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...
As the leading force, the plant system was the one that broke through earliest and has the deepest foundation. Although Ling Tianyu has recently focused most of his energy on the space and mind systems, the plant system has been somewhat neglected.
However, after being nurtured by the [Little Holy Spring] for half a year, the plant system is also on the verge of breaking through to the second level of the intermediate stage.
"I'll break through in one go today!" Ling Tianyu focused his mental energy and meditated diligently. At the same time, the little Qilin hanging around his neck emitted a dazzling light, releasing a mysterious energy into his spiritual universe to accelerate the breakthrough rate.
The breakthrough methods for major and minor ranks are completely different. Major ranks require you to break through the barrier that restricts the growth of stardust. You need to have a strong will and a powerful enough magical foundation as a mage. It is best to have an item like the Star River Vein to assist you, which can further increase the success rate.
Breaking through a minor level only requires the mage to have enough accumulated experience, and they can naturally break through to the next level.
For example, the Three-Step Tower in Shanghai uses a special method to gather the elemental power that spills out of the air, thereby greatly promoting cultivation.
"Buzzing!"
Forty-nine stars within the nebula were active, striving to expand their influence. Ling Tianyu concentrated his mind to absorb elemental energy from the surrounding environment, replenishing the nebula…
"Snap!"
Ling Tianyu's plant nebula suddenly shone brightly with azure light, expanding wildly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. In the blink of an eye, the nebula's coverage area more than tripled. With the increase in magical energy reserves, coupled with the second level of [Kun Forest - Wild Growth], his strength was boosted once again.
The second-tier intermediate spell, [Kun's Forest - Wild Growth], has long since transcended the simple cage-like form, becoming far more flexible. If the mage's control is strong enough, combined with the effect of the spirit seed, even warrior-level opponents will find it difficult to advance.
"Yes, the stronger you are in the disaster zone of Bo City, the safer you will be!"
Ling Tianyu nodded in satisfaction, feeling relieved. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest for a while, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the tiled roof.
"Could it be...?" Ling Tianyu's heart tightened. He picked up his phone and glanced at the time. He realized that two days had already passed without him noticing!
Indeed, cultivation knows no time! No wonder he felt empty inside.
…………
Bocheng is located in the south, close to the Nanling Mountains, and it is currently the rainy season, so torrential rain is commonplace.
Unlike usual, this time the raindrops were not as transparent and clear as before, but instead had a strange and disgusting urine-yellow color.
Under the curtain of rain and mist, the entire city of Bocheng was like a landscape painting created by nature, with every stroke containing endless poetry and a beautiful artistic conception, sometimes making people feel quiet and serene.
But now, the murky yellow rainwater has given this beautiful little town an eerie atmosphere.
Thanks to the government's loudspeaker announcements, most ordinary people stayed at home, viewing the unusual downpour with curiosity and amusement, completely unaware of what they were about to face.
The heavy rain had just arrived, and even if there were any missed passages, it would take them quite a while to invade Bo City. Taking advantage of this gap, Ling Tianyu could completely relocate the people he cared about.
All that remained was a bare house, and all the necessities and furniture had been placed in Ling Tianyu's personal space.
As for this house, Ling Tianyu had been looking for a buyer for months. And wouldn't you know it, the buyer turned out to be a member of a collateral branch of the Mu family!
Anyway, after the disaster in Bo City, Bo City was incorporated into the army, and the real estate there will become worthless.
Ling Tianyu was still worried about Ye Xinxia's family. Fortunately, they lived relatively close by, and he finally arrived at Ye Xinxia's home before the demons attacked Bocheng.
"Xinxia, Uncle Mo, Aunt Mo Qing, Uncle, we must hurry to the safety barrier! Bo City is no longer safe!"
Ling Tianyu advised.
"Why?" Mo Qing and the others asked, puzzled.
"Auntie, let's listen to Brother Tianyu. He's a magician; he definitely knows more about the inside story than we do!"
She tugged at Mo Qing's sleeve and tried to persuade him.
[Magicians] still hold considerable weight in the eyes of ordinary people, and Mo Qing and the others ultimately heeded Ling Tianyu's advice and agreed to head to the safe barrier.
Considering that the demons had not yet invaded Bo City and that traffic was smooth, and given Ye Xinxia's mobility issues, Mo Jiaxing drove his cargo truck and took the group away.
Shortly after the group left, a manhole cover was pushed open by a massive figure, revealing a giant-eyed rat-like creature, followed by an even more imposing one: the colossal, one-eyed demon wolf. With a roar, it heralded the demonic invasion of Bo City.
"Hehehe!"
"Hehehe!"
The one-eyed demon wolf let out a long howl, as if opening Pandora's box. Within a minute, the sewers in many different parts of Bo City were destroyed by the demon, revealing dark, gaping holes.
Demons and monsters kept emerging from this place: giant-eyed blood rats, one-eyed demon wolves...
Moreover, these two demons are merely the vanguard; the real main force is yet to come…
A giant rat, the size of a small truck, emerged. Its shape was roughly the same as the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat, but its size was on a completely different scale. Its body was covered in blood-red markings, and it exuded an astonishing aura.
Stimulated by the raging spring, these normally timid demon rats became extremely frenzied.
