Chapter 127 Barrier
Upon hearing the system's words, Long Xiaoxiao immediately perked up, her eyes lighting up as she asked, "Found it!"
"Yes!" the system said, glancing at the price. After a few seconds, it reminded, "Little one, this will cost a lot of merit points."
"It's okay, it's okay," Long Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly. Although she didn't know how many merit points she had left, she rarely needed them anyway. Now that she finally had a chance to use them, she was happy to spend them.
Upon seeing this, the system pressed the purchase button and then provided Long Xiaoxiao with the instructions.
This product was provided by an unknown world, and its quality could not be guaranteed. However, the system remembered that a previous colleague had said that the quality of items purchased from unknown worlds was generally very high, so he entrusted it to Long Xiaoxiao with complete peace of mind.
At this moment, the whistling sound continued throughout the arena, and at the same time, several pairs of green eyes emerged from the darkness, lingering in the shadows and causing unease.
Just as Yuan Wang and the others were on edge, calculating how much longer they could hold out, Long Xiaoxiao suddenly made a move.
She raised her hand high, then suddenly shouted a sentence in a strange tone. Then everyone saw the world spin before their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, it seemed as if there was a white film around them, flowing with strange white light, which enveloped all the humans present.
The sudden strange phenomenon surprised everyone. After realizing what had happened, they quickly turned their attention to Long Xiaoxiao, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and admiration for her.
Thankfully, Xiaoxiao was there. If Xiaoxiao hadn't been there, they definitely would have...
Thinking about the possible scenarios, everyone looked somewhat frightened.
The beasts outside, which had been controlled by the dark aura, saw this strange barrier and gathered around. The tiger, which had been hiding in the shadows and roaring to intimidate them, also emerged from the darkness, its powerful muscles bulging, exuding a formidable aura.
But Long Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all, and even walked close to the edge of the tiger's territory to stare at it.
Long Xiaoxiao didn't know how to dispel the dark magic, so she could only try to drive away the beasts that had been tainted by it.
The tiger and the dragon's eyes met, and a hint of fear was visible to the naked eye. The awe of the dragon was almost etched into the beast's bones, but this fear was quickly eroded.
As the dark aura emanating from the beast grew increasingly intense, Long Xiaoxiao frowned, utterly perplexed.
"Uncle, are there dark wizards in this world too?" Long Xiaoxiao asked.
The system gave a wry smile, somewhat helplessly, as it had submitted so many reports to headquarters but had never received a normal response.
"I don't know, I also feel something's wrong, but headquarters hasn't given a reply," the system said.
Long Xiaoxiao scratched her head, feeling lost and annoyed. Looking at the animals trying to attack the barrier, she pursed her lips, feeling a little reluctant.
Seeing that the wild beasts couldn't budge the white membrane, the people behind them felt a little relieved, but they still chose to stay in the very center of the barrier, feeling safer the further away from the wild beasts they were.
Long Xiaoxiao leaned against the barrier and spoke softly to the beasts in front of her, trying to weaken the dark aura, but unfortunately it was all in vain.
As dawn broke, the exhausted crowd behind them saw a glimmer of hope.
As the sunlight shone on them, the beasts that had been dazed and confused suddenly convulsed and struggled for a while. When they opened their eyes again, their gazes returned to blankness and helplessness. They turned to look at the unfamiliar surroundings, wondering how they had ended up there.
So they all got up, cautiously moved away, looking around as if afraid something might suddenly appear, and ran away in a flash.
Rumble.
At the same time, the roar of a car engine began, gradually drawing closer.
Everyone was incredibly excited as they watched the rescue team rushing towards them from a distance. They raised their hands and cheered, immediately attracting the attention of the rescue team members.
Long Xiaoxiao also deactivated the barrier, and Yuan Wang walked over and took Long Xiaoxiao's hand. The two of them slowly walked towards the rescue team.
The rescue vehicles were SUVs with high ground clearance, which looked very imposing. The door of the lead vehicle opened, and a woman holding a rag doll got out of the vehicle. She had a fair complexion, was Chinese, and looked to be no more than a high school student.
Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Long Xiaoxiao paused for a moment before asking the system curiously, "Uncle, who is she? She looks so familiar."
The system searched the woman's information and suddenly realized, "It's Tang Xuan, the little girl who came to find you with Tang De when you first came to this world."
Tang De? Long Xiaoxiao pondered for a long time before finally remembering that it was that eccentric old man from the Qingfeng Sect.
Thinking this, Long Xiaoxiao looked at the rag doll in Tang Xuan's hand. Sure enough, just like when she saw it before, it was surrounded by black mist, and it was so eerie that even an ordinary person could tell that something was wrong.
Tang Xuan looked at the crowd in front of her with a calm expression, her gaze lingering on Long Xiaoxiao for only a moment longer.
"Hello, I am Tang Xuan, a member of the Department of Supernatural Powers and Mysteries of China. We have detected that this riot is related to supernatural energy, and I have been dispatched by the branch to escort you back to China." Tang Xuan said, taking out her identification from her pocket.
Everyone looked at each other blankly, and then turned to Long Xiaoxiao.
Why do they think this strange and supernatural being is Long Xiaoxiao? Is there anything in this world more deserving of the title "god" than Long Xiaoxiao and the Azure Dragon God?
Long Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as her gaze lingered on the doll in Tang Xuan's hand. Then, she couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get that doll from?"
Tang Xuan looked down at the rag doll in her arms, thought for a moment and organized her words, and said, "I found it when I was very young, and through it I came into contact with some strange phenomena. Later, it was taken over by the department and I was put in charge of its safekeeping."
Long Xiaoxiao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
The system was quite cautious; it scanned the world database to confirm that Tang Xuan was right, and also scanned the database of the supernatural and superstitious department.
Most of them are strange phenomena, and some of the objects preserved there are more or less tainted with a dark aura.
This energy shares the same origin as the dark magic in Long Xiaoxiao's magical world, so the system is now certain that there is definitely something wrong with this world.
The system gritted its teeth, thinking that this damned administration bureau was really... As long as the world could run, no matter how many bugs there were, it wouldn't be a big deal, right?
Wait for him to get back! He'll burn their mainframes to the ground!
