After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up-Chapter 101.1

Hunter and Prey (1)

Creating an abyssal rift was a challenging task.

It would take an extraordinarily long time, especially when humans wanted to create a passage that “led to a fixed location.”

And in this case, it was three days.

It took three full days for everything to be set up finally.

With the scarlet light from the blood drawn in the spell formation lit up, a steady stream of abyssal magic from the black ores gathered like a chaotic gale.

The color of the sky became dark and gloomy like the sky before the storm.

The ground was vibrating.

It was as if something was roaring deep beneath the ground, struggling to break free from its confinement.

“Crack–”

A not-so-clear cracking sound rang out from beneath their feet.

A look of fear passed over the mercenaries’ faces and they subconsciously fell backward, their faces pale.

Only the black-robed man remained fixed, tilting his head slightly, his face shrouded in dark shadows rippled with an imperceptible smile.

In front of them, the first fissure of the abyss slowly unfolded.

It was a narrow, deep, half-consolidated from reality, half-hanging outside the continent, from which a poisonous gray mist slowly escaped.

The mercenaries hesitantly looked over to their leader.

And Xu Feng looked at the black-robed man.

The black-robed man said, “You have to be quick.”

He extended a slim, withered hand and pointed to the distant abyssal rift.

“Although the device I provided can resist the poison inside the abyssal rift, this is only true at the initial stage when the rift unfolds. It won’t work when it develops completely and we only have a short time to act.”

Xu Feng turned his head to look at the mercenaries behind him. His tone was wild and highly inciting. “After finding the metals, the dragon and its treasures are ours!”

The fear disappeared.

Everyone’s eyes glowed with excitement and frenzy as they raised their weapons and released a boisterous sound of agreement and laughter.

“So, we have to move quickly!” Xu Feng shouted.

In the mercenary’s base camp.

All the mercenaries were under control, every facility was being cleared and the Bureau’s employees were busily moving in and out of it.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Wen Yao’s side of the interrogation had not yet yielded results, so they could only wait in the meantime.

Mu Heng sat in a chair with the slender young man in his arms.

He lowered his head and sniffed the other party’s hair scent.

The guava-scented shampoo had a light fragrance like a fresh forest, clean and refreshing, with a little vague warmth and sweetness.

The space on the ship was limited. It was perfectly built out of the cramped and restricted activity area, creating the possibility of prolonged contact and time together.

And Mu Heng tended to be very patient at this point.

Like an experienced hunter, he silently approached his prey, squeezing each other’s safe areas, invading each other’s private spaces calmly, and letting the other party get familiar with his presence and slowly adapt to his touch.

Like now.

The young man’s eyes were slightly narrowed and he lazily curled up in his arms without the slightest defense, allowing him to hug and caress him softly.

Mu Heng did not wear gloves.

He held the Bureau’s mission report in one hand. He swept his eyes over it while pressing his other hand on the back of the young man’s neck, fondling it absent-mindedly, touching the other party’s cool, delicate flesh and fine, silky hair until the small patch of skin was slightly red from his twisting.

Mu Heng looked at his watch, closed the report, and asked softly, “Hungry?” 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Shi An yawned and opened his hazy, sleepy eyes.

He had just accidentally fallen asleep.

Since he had absorbed the magic in the Eye of the Abyss a few days ago, he needed even more time to sleep and absorb the magic contained in it.

He did not hate Mu Heng’s touch and could even say he liked it.

The other person’s body temperature made Shi An feel very comfortable as a cold-blooded animal.

For the dragon, a human’s warm hug would be a perfect nest, not to mention that this human was also bright and shiny, in line with his aesthetic.

Moreover…

As a dragon sleeping for tens of thousands of years, he had always been less sensitive to human boundary issues.

Anyway, it felt good to be hugged and Shi An never considered whether such things were inappropriate.

Plus, Mu Heng had been following him everywhere these days, the three demons had no chance to slip out, and although the three of them often had terrible ideas, their knowledge and understanding of human society were at least there.

And their absence also resulted in severe consequences.

That was why Shi An himself was completely unaware that he was being approached and domesticated by this human with ulterior motives bit by bit.

Hearing Mu Heng’s question, Shi An thought for a moment and nodded his head. “Mm.”

His tone was soft, with a husky sleepiness as if he was unconsciously being petulant.

The top of the young man’s fluffy hair brushed against the tip of Mu Heng’s nose, bringing a slight tickle.

Mu Heng dropped a kiss on the top of the other party’s hair, his voice quiet, saying, “Let’s go. There’s ice cream for lunch today.”

“Great!”
