Chapter 419 Opportunities From the Past
Han Fei gritted his teeth. He didn’t know why the man would help him and Xia Xiaochan, when it was impossible for him to defeat three man-fish as a mere Hanging Fisher.
But before Han Fei figured out what was going on, he had gooseb.u.mps all over his body, as an enormous hand emerged behind him and Xia Xiaochan. Everything became hazy in their eyes. In the next moment, they appeared on the roof of a building that hadn’t been drowned yet.
This building was more than fifty meters tall. It was white in general, dotted with black mysterious stones, which indicated that it was not common.
When Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan came back to themselves, they saw a white-haired young man standing before them. The man’s face was handsome without any wrinkles. Judging by his face, he was only in his twenties.” Han Fei said, “Bro, you…”
Smack…
Instantly, Han Fei was slapped in the forehead, and he fell on the ground because of the force. After a flash, Xia Xiaochan pressed out a Supreme Stab.
“Huh?”
The young man moved and dodged Xia Xiaochan’s attack easily.
Han Fei said quickly, “Xia Xiaochan, stop!”
Xia Xiaochan flashed back to Han Fei and stared at the man warily.
Han Fei exerted strength in his feet and stood up. He said palely, “Dude, that’s too much. I…”
Smack…
Hardly had Han Fei stood up when he was slapped and fell again. He couldn’t be more stunned at this moment, because he didn’t know how the man attacked at all.
Xia Xiaochan yelled angrily, “Hey, who are you exactly? What do you want?” The young man said peacefully, “You two kids have no respect for your seniors at all. Bro? Dude? I’m older than than your grandpa, do you know that?” “Huh?”
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were both stunned. Who are you trying to fool? You’re pretending to be old when your face is so young? Just because you’ve dyed your hair white?
But Han Fei was smart enough not to call him bro or dude anymore. After he rose, he stepped back with Xia Xiaochan.
Who was this guy exactly? He hadn’t quite figured out yet, but he knew that the man was strong.
Then, the man gazed at Xia Xiaochan, with contentment in his eyes.
Han Fei immediately stood before Xia Xiaochan and declared, “Hey? What are you staring at?” The young man replied with a casual smile, “Yesterday, my 186th son told me that he met a very beautiful girl. He must’ve been referring to you…” Han Fei: “???”
Xia Xiaochan: “???”
Dazed, Han Fei asked, “No… Wait a moment, your which son?”
The young man grinned. “My 186th.” “Huhh!”
Han Fei gasped hard and looked back at Xia Xiaochan with disbelief.
Xia Xiaochan asked, “You are the mayor of this city?”
The young man nodded. “That’s correct. I’m the mayor. But I don’t think you belong to my city.” Han Fei looked rather uneasy. “How so?”
With his hands behind his back, the man said casually, “If you were from my city, I would’ve known you a long time ago. How can I not know a genius who has a legendary contractual spiritual beast… Or more exactly, two legendary contractual spiritual beasts?” Xia Xiaochan: “???”
She pinched and twisted the flesh on Han Fei’s waist. “Legendary? Didn’t you say that the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp was exotic?” Han Fei swallowed too. “Well… Is it possible that you’re mistaken, senior?” The young man looked at Han Fei with a smile. “You’re addressing me as your senior now?”
Han Fei chuckled. “Senior, you really know how to take care of your face! What exactly do you do? I’ll ask Xia Xiaochan to try it too!” The mayor: “???” The mayor was lost for words. We’re in the middle of a crisis, and yet you’re talking about beauty treatment? “Hehe. I don’t know where you’re from, but you’ve come to my city. I only want to ask you this: can you leave here alive?” The young man was extremely serious when he said that. His eyes seemed to be staring at Han Fei’s and Xia Xiaochan’s hearts through their skin.
Han Fei knew that it was impossible for him to trick the man. He simply shook his head and said, “Xia Xiaochan and I came here by accident. We’ve been looking for ways to leave.” “You’ve been looking?” The mayor frowned. “Is your way of leaving right inside this city?”
Han Fei nodded. “Probably.”
The mayor’s eyes glittered. “Can you take anyone away with you?”
Han Fei shook his head. “I don’t know, but my guess is no.”
The mayor instantly asked, “Where are you from?”
Han Fei paused and hesitated a moment. If he were to say that he came from the future, wouldn’t it sound too uncanny? The mayor said, “Since the crash, this city has lost contact with other cities and has been secluded for two hundred years. n.o.body has visited us except for you. Maybe, I can take care of the problems that you can’t.”
Xia Xiaochan said, “You can’t take care of them either.”
The mayor laughed. “Girl, don’t be too confident!” Han Fei said with a bitter smile, “I’m afraid that you really can’t. This city has been sunken for many many years in our normal lifetime. The city guards, and the warriors who are fighting in the outer city, have already turned into hero souls.”
The mayor suddenly became threatening. He stared at Han Fei coldly and asked, “If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that you’re from the future?”
Han Fei smiled awkwardly and didn’t say anything. “Well…”
The mayor looked back at the devastated city, the crying people, and the fighting city guards. Then he said with a casual smile, “So, my city will be destroyed in the end.” After about five minutes of silence, Xia Xiaochan couldn’t hold it back anymore. Xia Xiaochan asked, “If you are the mayor, you’re definitely the strongest. Why don’t you partic.i.p.ate in the battle?”
The mayor looked back at Xia Xiaochan and said, “Because the time has not come yet… If the city will be destroyed eventually, I wouldn’t mind letting all the invaders die with us.” Han Fei’s eyes constricted. “Senior, do you have any last wish? Or do you have any heritage that you must pa.s.s on?” The mayor’s lips curled. “So that’s why you’re here?” Han Fei said, “We’re here purely by accident…” The mayor burst into laughter. “There’s no need to explain. In your age, this city will have become a treasure trove. So you’re here to hunt for treasures, aren’t you?”
Han Fei instantly swallowed. This man was really horrifying! He had inferred Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan’s purpose here from a few simple words, and he accepted the fact that they were from the future very quickly without much shock! “I didn’t know that I would have to entrust the essence of this city to two young treasure hunters.” After that, the mayor looked at Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan and said, “There are many treasures in this city. I don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or it’s fate that you come at the day of this city’s destruction. Is this really destiny?” As he talked, a wriggling beast came close from the sky and spewed out icy flames, ruining a huge area in one second.
“A mere bug is showing off in my city? Humph…”
In the next second, the mayor snapped his finger, and a water-made sword was launched. It pa.s.sed a hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye and expanded into a huge sword.
That creature, which might be a dragon, spurted out a brilliant pearl from its mouth, trying to resist the sword.
But after only one moment, the pearl was broken, and the enormous body of the dragon was annihilated, without even leaving a scale.
Han Fei nearly peeped his pants. This man seems too strong!
As if he had just done something trivial, the mayor looked back at Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan and said, “If it’s destiny, just come with me!”
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were both excited. Just now, the mayor had said that there were treasures in this city, and the treasures were the essence of the city. Han Fei could hardly imagine what treasures could comprise the essence of the city after witnessing how powerful the mayor was just now.
