The Prehistoric System in the world of Fantasy-Chapter 185: The Instant Dungeon (Part-6)

Meanwhile, Vera blinked her eyes rapidly, clutching Tianzhu… "Umm… Uncle, I'm kinda feeling… sleepy…" She followed it up with a yawn.

Elsewhere in the corner, Lin Fang stood straight, fighting off the resistance. Clenching his fists, he poured mana into his brain, shielding it from the incoming energy. Alpha helped him effectively to protect himself. He continued to hold Xuan Hei, who wasn't affected the least.

The drowsiness instantly vanished from Lin Fang.

Meanwhile, Noa, who stuck with Tianzhu and his niece, also seemed like she was unaffected.

"Is that your nephew?" She asked him. "I can see the resemblance now."

With a steady breath, Tianzhu muttered in response. "Noa," he said quietly, "Can you hold her?"

Noa looked at him sharply, sensing the shift in his tone. She gave a small nod and gently pulled an unconscious Vera closer.

He then shifted his gaze to the monster, which looked like it was in a daze. He looked at the other hunters.

They all seemed to have fallen unconscious.

Of more than two thousand people who scrambled in the Atrium, there are fewer than 20 who have resistance to the melodic music of sleep apart from Theo himself, and only 9 were completely fine.

Of the seven, three seemed injured. Lin Fang and Noa were not fighting. The muscled hunter from Haze Guild charged forward nevertheless, taking advantage of its state and attacking it with his fists.

Tianzhu's eyes captured the remaining three. A man in a suit was seen tightly grabbing a boy, not paying much attention to the surroundings. The second one was a young man who had a deep frown on his face, but he was simply watching the scene and not doing anything else.

It was then the last remaining conscious nephew seen, checking in on his colleagues. As for his friend, he was still nowhere to be seen.

Tianzhu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It seems like there is only one choice left."

He then charged forward. He didn't charge at the monster, which was in a disoriented state.

Instead, he approached his nephew.

Theo gave a proud smile to his Uncle, as if he was stating, Look, Uncle. I'm strong. He continued to play the violin.

Tianzhu didn't say anything to him and instead shifted his gaze toward the guy who was attacking the Red Ogre with his fists. He said. "Hello, mister, over here."

"Hmm?" As the guy halted and turned his head to look at Tianzhu. The latter then pointed at the giant axe on the floor. "You looked quite strong based on your physique. Can you pick up that weapon? It could inflict more damage on the Ogre." He said.

"Hmm?"

As the hunter tried to pick up the Ax belonging to the Red Ogre, his mana surged out. However, he couldn't pick it up.

Tianzhu couldn't help but click his tongue. "Tch, I guess this won't do it." He raised his hand and made a swift movement toward his nephew, grabbing the bow from him and snatching it away.

The music instantly stopped. Theo's face froze at once. "Uncle?"

Tianzhu looked colder. "You are not exactly helping, Theo. Look around you."

"Wh… what?" Theo's eyes wandered, looking at the unconscious people around. Then, his gaze fell on the Red Ogre. "But Uncle, I stopped the beast. You just need people to cover their ears with earbuds and attack it. It's going to wake up soon. Hurry. Give it back…"

"Theo, stop it." Tianzhu interrupted him and grabbed his hand, dragging him back.

"Uncle… Uncle…" Theo tried to struggle, but Tianzhu continued to drag him with him.

Meanwhile, others slowly got up. Those who were unconscious continued to sleep. Only those who were slightly too dizzy dozed off.

But before them, the Red Ogre managed to get out of the sleeping spell.

*Graaaa*

It roared and charged at Tianzhu and Theo.

"Careful…" Noa shouted.

Tianzhu raised his hand, pointing at the incoming monster. Vines grew up from the floor. They were about to capture him, but right then, a translucent beam of energy suddenly struck the monster, and a hole was made out of Red Ogre's chest.

While it fell to the ground, Xuan Hei was seen landing gracefully on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Red Ogre began to disintegrate at a rapid pace before reducing to nothing but a glowing spirit core on the floor.

"Wha…?" As Noa dazed at the monster, Xuan Hei then grabbed the spirit core and bit on it. The Spirit Core was swallowed into its mouth. It once again transformed into a streak of blur, returning to Lin Fang's arms, who looked just as shocked as the others.

Vera, who barely stood on her feet, looked at Lin Fang's face. She seemed to be awed, too. "So powerful…"

Theo, who was behind Tianzhu, also stared at him. "What is that little wolf pup? It's too strong." He wondered in his head.

Meanwhile, Tianzhu's face turned slightly ugly. "That's a spirit king… This man isn't simple after all." His heart raced, not in fear or panic but in fury, as it had already been 18 years since he left the organization.

At the same time, on the fourth floor, a pulse of light burst out, and a swirling vortex opened where the monsters had first come through. A powerful suction followed. The remaining orcs and lesser ogres, wounded or still hiding, were dragged toward it, screeching, panicking.

Within seconds, they were gone.

The portal pulsed once more and then vanished completely. Cheers followed it, and the Starlight guild hunters and freelancers high-fived in success.

Watching everyone cheering around, in the quiet corner of the atrium, the hooded man, who released the purple smoke and escaped to a corner, was irritated. "Tch… So much planning and still failed. If I can't assassinate her today, I will have no choice but to go into hiding. The High Council will punish me this time if I return with another failure."

RESULTS: 4 civilian casualties, 9 Hunter casualties. Survival Rate: 98.64%.

Monsters Killed: 78 Class-3 Orcs, 5 Class-2 Ogres, and 1 Class-2 Red Ogre.

As the battle was over, the staff from the Hunter Association were already inside, guiding the civilians out in an orderly manner.

Medics ran back and forth, tending to wounds, checking pulses, and offering water to the victims.

Tianzhu stood still, leaning slightly against a broken pillar. Since he and his niblings (niece, nephew) were completely uninjured, he intended to wait for a while instead of rushing outside.

Theo seemed to be standing next to him, his head hanging down in disappointment.

Vera's eyes darted toward Theo and their uncle for a while, but she maintained silence. However, her eyes began searching for the savior.

At the same time, Noa was seen walking toward Lin Fang, brushing some dust from her coat as she returned after having a brief talk with an official. Lin Fang was seen helping the injured people to place them on stretchers.

"Mr. Lin…" She said from beside, upon reaching him.

"Hmm?" Lin Fang turned to the side, looking at her. "Yes?"

Giving a bottle of water, Noa said, letting out a subtle smile. "Thanks for the help. If not for you, the situation would have turned very grave for us."

Lin Fang gave a momentary pause as he stared at her. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw the officer just salute you. You weren't a simple police officer, after all."

At that, Noa inwardly sighed but didn't bother hiding it. However, instead of completely explaining it, she simply said, "You can say I'm at decent position, but I work for Interpol."

Lin Fang blinked in surprise at that. "Interpol? No wonder you know so much about things."

After a pause, Lin Fang then nodded, "Anyway… It's nice meeting you. I need to leave."

As he was about to leave… Noa suddenly stopped him, "Wait, Mr. Lin."

"Yes?"

"You like food?" she asked casually in response, brushing hair out of her face.

"I eat to survive, but I already ate today," Lin Fang replied, blinking in surprise.

"How about I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow, then?" she said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Consider it a thank-you meal. You know, technically, you saved my life. We can talk in a restaurant."

At that, Lin Fang froze for a moment. Then, he bowed, "I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend. It's not proper."

Noa didn't take his rejection as anything. Instead, she kept her smile and said. "That's not a problem. She can join too."

"Well… I don't know..." Lin Fang glanced to the side...
