Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 442 - 416: The Shell Lady’s Evolution

Everyone was shouting, venting their emotions.

Even Chen Shouyi felt invigorated, a surge of indescribable emotion stirring in his heart.

These days, a shadow had been hanging over the whole of Hedong.

Just yesterday, he was preparing to evacuate with his family.

However, at this moment, upon seeing the army, all the gloom instantly vanished like snow under a scorching sun, disappearing without a trace.

This indicated that Hedong was basically safe now.

In the fight against the Barbarian God, it would either be a ground battle or an aerial battle!

In such a city full of skyscrapers, firstly, the army couldn’t spread out, being visually restricted, and secondly, it was a densely populated area, making it impossible to use large-scale weapons of destruction.

Trying to confront the Barbarian God in the city.

Unless taking a desperate measure by ignoring civilian casualties and directly dropping a nuclear bomb.

Otherwise, even a larger army would just be sent to their deaths.

This was also why previously only the air force acted, while the ground troops were slow to enter the city.

Now that the ground troops were entering the city, Chen Shouyi estimated that the God of Hunting had left Hedong and was pretty sure he wouldn’t return anytime soon!

He watched for a while, then quietly left the crowd.

On the way, he saw more and more people running towards the highway.

Though many had fled these past few days, most remained, and now a large number of people swarmed the streets, forming a huge crowd, looking like a sea of people, bustling with excitement.

Chen Shouyi walked back home.

He found the living room filled with luggage, but no one was in sight.

Evidently, his parents and sister had been back, but presumably, they also had gone out to the streets.

He then remembered something and hastened to the basement.

Finding nobody had been there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"This thing is too dangerous to leave here! If my parents or sister inadvertently touch it, it would be hazardous!" Chen Shouyi thought secretly.

This unprocessed demigod flesh is undoubtedly lethal poison to ordinary people, and only transformed Martial Artists who have developed a Buddha’s form can fully resist the genetic invasion of demigod flesh.

Clearly, neither his parents nor sister fell into this category.

"I better place it in the bedroom for now! Later, I’ll remind my parents and sister, and when the situation stabilizes, I’ll buy a house as a private storage room!" Chen Shouyi thought, realizing it was the best temporary solution.

He picked up the enormous bird leg, his will concentrating, causing a blood-collecting basin beside him to hover and follow him.

The divine blood in the basin had accumulated to a shallow layer.

About half a liter in volume.

Emitting a faint golden glow.

This demigod blood has incredible vitality, even after two days, it showed no sign of coagulating, fresh as if just flowing out from a living being.

Chen Shouyi freed a hand, opened the bedroom door, and placed the bird leg and blood-collecting basin directly on the floor.

Fortunately, the bedroom was large enough; otherwise, it wouldn’t fit in.

Then he returned to the basement.

Where he thoroughly cleaned the bloodstains in the basement.

During the process, he tried to use his will to clean, but perhaps due to the resistance of the lingering will imprint in the divine blood, he found his will had minimal effect on the divine blood, significantly diminishing its efficacy.

Chen Shouyi had to wipe it repeatedly with a cloth.

Finally, he carefully checked for any possible unintended drops of divine blood in the living room.

After finishing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

As for the cloth, he planned to dispose of it in another world to avoid causing any danger.

Returning to the bedroom, he saw that the Shell Lady, who had just been sleeping soundly, was already awake, standing at the edge of the basin, looking at the divine blood inside, her face flushed with excitement, eager to jump in.

Upon seeing Chen Shouyi enter, she was startled, jolted, and sprang into the air.

"How can you fly?" Seeing this, Chen Shouyi completely forgot to scold the Shell Lady, asking in astonishment.

He remembered that on Earth, she couldn’t fly, only in the other world could she fly slowly.

"Heh, silly giant, Little Dot is already very strong now, not afraid of you at all!" The Shell Lady proudly hummed twice, proud as a hen that had just laid an egg.

She flew in a circle in the air, her speed about the same as a fly.

It’s the power boost inflating her ego again!

Chen Shouyi gave a cold chuckle twice, and with a thought, the Shell Lady was fixed in mid-air, her expression frozen.

Ordinary people can move freely in the air because air flows easily. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Once it stops flowing completely, the air becomes a solid like aerogel.

Chen Shouyi’s Air Imprisonment ability has two uses.

One is area confinement, or field confinement:

This method covers a large area, but the downside is that its strength is small, only confining a Martial Artist Apprentice, and even he cannot avoid the effects of the confinement.

The second is targeting a specific objective:

This confinement has much more strength, though not tested much, sufficiently trapping a Martial Artist entirely, and possibly even a Great Martial Artist.

The smaller the target, the stronger the confinement, like the Shell Lady’s size, even if her strength was several times greater, she’d be stuck like in amber.

Two seconds later, Chen Shouyi released the confinement.

The Shell Lady’s previously inflated aura instantly deflated like a pricked balloon, she pouted, feeling wronged, and burst into tears: "Wah wah wah..."

Why was she crying?

Wasn’t she just having fun?

Chen Shouyi was a bit confused.

This scene gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, feeling that he had experienced it repeatedly since childhood.

Only now, his sister had been replaced by the Shell Lady.

Every time his sister cried, it would be his unfortunate time!

"You’re the most obedient; don’t cry anymore!" Chen Shouyi quickly comforted, feeling troubled.

"Wah wah... Little Dot won’t be obedient anymore!" The Shell Lady cried, tears streaming down her face, sniffling: "I won’t help the bad giant cover quilts, move things, or help kill bad giants anymore, Little Dot will be a bad Little Dot from now on!"

"Alright, bad Little Dot!" Chen Shouyi responded speechlessly, finding "bad Little Dot" rather pleasant to say.

Upon hearing this, the Shell Lady cried even louder, feeling immensely wronged: "You... you called me... bad Not Dot? Wuwuwu!"

She was just speaking in anger, she’s a good Little Dot, not a bad Little Dot.

Her simple mind had a clear distinction between good and bad.

"I called it wrong; you are Little Dot!" Chen Shouyi apologized, flustered, changing his words quickly.

"It’s... it’s good Little Dot." The Shell Lady cried and corrected him.

"Alright, alright, it’s good Little Dot, but good Little Dot doesn’t keep crying." Chen Shouyi deliberately provoked her, trying to change the subject.

The Shell Lady was panicked by his words, hurriedly wiping her eyes, magically stopping her tears, and then seriously stated: "See, good Little Dot isn’t crying anymore!"
