Between the mountains.

A slightly thin figure was walking quickly through the lush dense forest.

This figure seemed to be more agile than a cheetah and more flexible than an ape. The intricate mountainous terrain did not seem to bring any obstacles to him. In just a few ups and downs, the whole person had already appeared dozens of meters away.

After a while, this figure was already standing on the top of the mountain.

"Okay, let's investigate here!"

As a whisper came out, the man began to stand on the top of the mountain and turned his head to look around. When he turned his head, what was revealed was a handsome and familiar face - it was Jiang Chen.

After Jiang Chen took a look at the surrounding terrain, he once again used his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings in a familiar manner - he had done this kind of thing too many times, and it was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it!

but.

Different from the past, this time he immediately retracted his spiritual consciousness as soon as he released it, with an extremely frightened expression on his face.

The next moment, several slightly illusory huge figures suddenly jumped out from the mountains. After a loud and long chant, those figures all turned their heads to look at him, using their eyes that were as big as a house to die.

Stare at him.

"Dragon?!"

Jiang Chen's eyes widened and he looked at these behemoths that suddenly appeared in great shock. These slightly illusory and mysterious creatures turned out to be the legendary dragons.

"Isn't there a saying: 'The true dragon does not appear'? But why can I see them?"

As soon as this idea came into his mind, he was horrified to find that the dragons suddenly moved and then rushed towards him.

Seeing those dragons charging towards him, and seeing the deep resentment and anger in their eyes, Jiang Chen secretly thought something bad, and his first reaction was to dodge.

pity.

However, he found that he had lost control of his body and could not move at all. He could only watch the dragons charging towards him menacingly.

The next moment, Jiang Chen sat up directly from the hotel bed.

"Huh~ It's this dream again!"

He reached out and touched his forehead, and it was indeed covered with cold sweat.

Jiang Chen turned his head and looked out the window. A bright color was faintly revealed behind the curtains.

After getting out of bed and washing his face with cold water in the bathroom, Jiang Chen stepped to the window and stretched out his hand to open the curtains.

at this time.

A ray of bright red has appeared in the eastern sky, and through the gaps between the buildings, the outline of the mountains can be vaguely seen under the rising sun.

"It's the same dream for two consecutive days. This is really abnormal!"

"The anger of the divine dragon should correspond to the destruction of the dragon's veins."

"Maybe it's because I have dragon energy hidden in my body, so I have frequent telepathy."

"But, it's okay to have nightmares like this all the time?!"

Jiang Chen looked far away, but his eyes slowly lost focus, until a loud knock on the door woke him up.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Fourth, are you up yet?"

"It's already getting bright. You haven't gotten up yet, right? We're going to eat!"

Jiang Chen came back from his thoughts and realized that the sun had risen very high outside the window. No wonder Li Wen had come to urge him to get up!

"Third brother, stop shouting!"

"I'm up, let's go out now!"

After another glance into the distance, Jiang Chen walked directly towards the bathroom!

...

A certain restaurant.

It was already past breakfast time, so there were not many customers in the restaurant. Jiang Chen and his group were sitting around a table near the corner.

After the waiter who ordered the food left, Li Yue took out a piece of information from her backpack and handed it to Jiang Chen.

"The information you need has been investigated. In the recent period, various strange things have indeed appeared in many places in the mountains near Jiang'an City!"

"Is the investigation completed so quickly?" Jiang Chen's face was full of surprise, and he quickly thanked him, "I'm really sorry for troubling you!"

Li Yue naturally ignored Jiang Chen's thanks and just said something pointedly.

"The information has indeed been investigated, but you'd better be mentally prepared in advance."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Yue with some confusion, and then took the information from Li Yue's hand, but as soon as he took the information, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Why so many?"

Looking at the thick pile of information in his hand, Jiang Chen was greatly surprised. This was too much. I'm afraid it would take quite a while just to read through the information.

"I just told you to be mentally prepared in advance!"

Seeing Jiang Chen looking a little stupid, Li Yue immediately smiled softly, but he finally added.

"This is the most detailed information. I know you don't have much time to read it carefully, so I have extracted the important information and put it at the bottom of the information!"

After hearing Li Yue's words, several others couldn't help but secretly praise him for his carefulness and thoughtfulness, and Li Wen even said with a smile.

"What a pity. You are the young master of Lijia. If you were the princess of Lijia, I think whoever marries you would be really lucky!"

Faced with Li Wen's teasing, Li Yue just replied to him with a calm face.

"roll!"

Li Wen knew Li Yue fairly well and smiled immediately, but he didn't care in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen could only smile helplessly. At first glance, his third brother seemed a bit taciturn, but once they got to know each other, he turned out to be a talkative and funny man.

Before he could speak, Li Yue continued.

"Of course, even so, I still have to remind you to be mentally prepared."

Hearing this sentence again, Jiang Chen felt very curious and immediately turned to the last page of the pile of information in his hand.

After a moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yue beside him and said in disbelief.

"So many places?"

"Yes!" Li Yue nodded and said, "There are a total of forty-five places where abnormalities have occurred, scattered in dozens of mountain peaks around Jiang'an City."

Hearing this, Li Wen and the others next to him were also shocked.

“Dozens of peaks???”

"If we search everywhere, wouldn't it take nearly half a month?"

"The deadline for the second competition is only three days, so there is no time at all!"
