241: Return

"You're driving? Our camp can arrange an attack helicopter; it would be a bit faster."

Hearing that Fang Bai wanted to drive, A Xiu's expression immediately became strange.

She had experienced Fang Bai's driving skills before; all she could say was that surviving to return to the country was a stroke of luck.

Fang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Alright then."

Although he wanted to practice his driving skills, he chose to fly since he was in a hurry.

Su Ya arranged an attack helicopter for them, which was already considered a common means of transport in this High Martial Era.

Thermal weapons no longer had a practical effect on powerful demon beasts, but they were still very convenient for transportation.

The attack helicopter took off, and the terrain below became small.

Fang Bai looked down; unlike his memories, the land of the Dragon Kingdom was now riddled with scars. Long-term warfare had turned the once prosperous cities into wasteland, leaving little pure land for the human race.

"A Xiu, do you think humans will go extinct?"

Fang Bai suddenly asked.

A Xiu thought for a moment and then said, "The strong will live, the weak cannot survive."

"True."

Fang Bai nodded in agreement.

The weak cannot survive in this world; it is no longer the world of six months ago. The human race is gradually perishing while the demon race flourishes. Many countries have already fallen, and even the once most peaceful Dragon Kingdom is now facing immense pressure.

Fang Bai remembered he was still in freaking school six months ago; now, he didn't even know how many of his classmates were still alive.

Even if the human race perished, those Ninth-Rank Experts would not fall; killing them would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, Fang Bai did not believe the human race would necessarily lose.

After witnessing Old Man Wan's strength, he felt humanity still had a glimmer of hope.

Now, Fang Bai only wanted to increase his strength; he had to reach the world's peak in a short time!

That way, no one could kill him!

Once the Evil Cult was destroyed, Fang Bai planned to go after the demon race!

"Be careful, this airspace is not within the Dragon Kingdom's defense perimeter. There is a high probability of demon beasts lurking nearby."

The pilot suddenly spoke.

Fang Bai was startled and said, "Have the demons penetrated this deep already?"

The pilot explained, "The Dragon Kingdom has already shrunk its territory. Much of the land has been occupied by the demon race. Although they will not attack proactively, they will definitely notice anyone passing by!"

Fang Bai nodded, scanned his surroundings, and then said, "I hope your words haven't jinxed us, brother."

Pilot: ???

After the attack helicopter flew for a while and passed through a valley, it was attacked by demon beasts!

A massive head soared into the sky from below!

Because the attack helicopter's flight altitude was not high, it was exactly within its attack range!

It was a Sky-Reaching Giant Python, its strength having reached the peak of the Fifth Rank!

Fang Bai didn't even bother to glance at a demon beast of this level.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket crashed down, instantly blowing the python's head to pieces!

The headless long body fell.

Seeing this scene, the originally panicked pilot's eyes filled with admiration!

A big shot!

The crisis was not over yet; a large group of flying creatures flew out from the valley. They looked like pterosaurs, and there were hundreds of them packed together!

"So many?"

Fang Bai was surprised for a moment, then let out a grin: "Then let's have a little dessert!"

"Boom!"

Hundreds of lightning dragons crashed into the flock of birds, instantly killing a large number of them!

At the same time, the space behind several flying creatures suddenly distorted, and invisible spatial blades slashed down, decapitating them directly!

A Xiu had made her move!

Those flying creatures were completely stunned by the strength of the two!

The birds and beasts scattered!

But how could Fang Bai allow them to escape? With a wave of his hand, he instantly suppressed and killed all the demon beasts on the spot!

"Not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

Feeling the system's feedback, Fang Bai muttered.

It wasn't even worth the energy he spent.

"Your strength is really incredible!"

A Xiu exclaimed.

Fang Bai chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You guys can be this strong in the future too, haha!"

The pilot also breathed a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, Fang Bai's strike was fierce; otherwise, the helicopter would have crashed and everyone would have died today.

After dealing with the attacking demon beasts, the attack helicopter continued its journey.

For the rest of the trip, Fang Bai and the others were attacked by several more waves of demon beasts, but Fang Bai wiped them all out.

To Fang Bai's surprise, there were actually Demon King-level beings among the attacking beasts!

This meant that the demon race had already begun to infiltrate!

Outside the warning zones, danger lurked everywhere!

It seemed the demon race was determined to take the Dragon Kingdom.

After spending a day, the attack helicopter finally entered the Dragon Kingdom's territory.

However, they were stopped by soldiers when entering the checkpoint.

During the inspection process, Fang Bai met an acquaintance.

"Holy crap! It's you, kid!"

The Middle-aged Man saw Fang Bai and immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise.

Fang Bai also broke into a smile: "Da Qing!"

Da Qing was exactly his father's good friend.

He didn't expect to meet him here.

Da Qing said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to really be alive! Haha! I knew you wouldn't die that easily!"

He gave Fang Bai a bear hug, patted his shoulder, and said with relief, "When you went missing, we looked for you, but there was no news. We thought you were killed. Your old man almost charged into the Demon Realm alone..."

Fang Bai said touched, "That's my old man for you."

Da Qing's tone shifted: "He originally wanted to go into the Demon Realm to find your body, but he was scared back by a Demon Lord."

Fang Bai: ...His old man loved him, but not that much.

He asked curiously, "Are my parents still here?"

Da Qing nodded, "They are. They're out on patrol. Did you encounter any demon beast attacks while flying the attack helicopter here?"

Fang Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Just a bunch of small fry, I wiped them all out!"

Da Qing was stunned for a moment. Only then did he react. He sized Fang Bai up curiously and took a sharp breath: "Wait, kid, what realm are you at now?"

He suddenly couldn't see through this junior anymore.

Fang Bai said modestly, "Enough to take on ten of my dad, I guess."

Da Qing: ???

"Hmm? Who wants to beat me up?"

A playful voice rang out.

Fang Bai's body stiffened. He turned around and found his old man standing there, though he didn't know when he had arrived.

"Old man?"

Fang Tiandao laughed loudly: "It's exactly me, your father!"

Fang Bai's mouth twitched. He looked his old man up and down; the man didn't have any injuries, and his strength had grown quite a bit, but Fang Bai suddenly had an urge to give him a thrashing!

"How ungrateful!"

Fang Tiandao smiled and said, "I can see that during the time you were missing, you've had quite a few opportunities."

He also realized that his son's strength had become unfathomable to him.

Fang Bai nodded: "It's been alright."

At this moment, he suddenly waved his hand, and three demon crystals emitting the aura of a Demon Lord fell in front of Da Qing and Fang Tiandao respectively.

Fang Tiandao and Da Qing: ???

Fang Bai said indifferently, "These are from Demon Lords I killed on the way. I have no use for the demon crystals, so I'll give them to you as a greeting gift."

"..."

"Is that even human speech?"
