Street Chaos
← Ch.0587 | Ch.0589 → |
Haojing's prosperity was world famous. In terms of economic prosperity, it was still above the The Nine Firmaments Empire.
Therefore, people from all over the world, from all continents, and even from the demon race riding on giant demonic beasts could be seen here.
These demons weren't idle demons, but came from the orthodox Demonic Beast Empire.
In this enormous world, which was made up of countless continents, there were several continents that were complete Demonic Beast Continents. There were complete empires with demon race components on them, and these demon race empires and human empires all had connections with each other.
Interestingly, according to evolution, the demon race's attitude towards demonic beasts had all come from demonic beasts.
However, after intermarrying between humanoid demons, the babies they gave birth to were not demonic beasts, but demons.
In the eyes of the demon race, demonic beasts were uncivilized and ignorant creatures that could be used as mounts, and could even be slaughtered and eaten.
Many people didn't understand this, but thinking about the attitude of humans towards spirit apes, they understood more or less.
Xiang Nan knew very well that his previous life was a flower in a greenhouse. His attainments in martial arts were very frightening, but he knew very little about the human sophistication of the secular world and the knowledge related to the demonic beasts and demonic races.
Therefore, he had always been making up for this knowledge. As long as he took the time, he would gather a large number of books on demonic beasts to read.
So far, he had mastered quite a bit of knowledge about demonic beasts and the demon race.
The wide streets of Haojing could accommodate 66 carriages running side by side, and could accommodate 20 demonic beast mounts over ten meters tall.
Compared to the arrogance and paranoia of the people of Haotian City, Haojing City was extremely tolerant of outsiders because of its complicated personnel.
At this moment, Xiang Nan was dressed like a scholar. He knew that his identity was too special, so it was inconvenient for him to be exposed.
He rented a carriage and quietly flipped through the books, occasionally glancing outside.
There were endless crowds of people coming and going on the streets. Most of them lowered their heads and hurried on their way, starting their day's work. There were also quite a few merchants and martial artists who came to Haojing to play. They could be said to be extremely lively.
This was Xiang Nan's rare free time. He sat in the carriage and was in a very comfortable mood.
However, not long after they left, they heard a chaotic scream coming from behind them and another voice shouting, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
As soon as the voice entered Xiang Nan's ears, he felt the wind behind him rumble. A triangular rhinoceros demonic beast rushed left and right in the crowd in a frenzy, and large groups of pedestrians dodged in panic.
The triangular rhinoceros was astonishingly 20 meters long and nearly 7 meters tall. It was about to crash into Xiang Nan's carriage from behind. The coachman was still looking around, but because his line of sight was blocked, he hadn't noticed what had happened.
Xiang Nan frowned slightly. He put the scroll into his arms and lightly tapped his left foot. Then, his body quickly flew out of the carriage. He even brought the coachman out with him.
As soon as Xiang Nan and the other two landed, the carriage they were riding in was instantly smashed into pieces by the giant triangular rhinoceros.
"So close, so close." The coachman gasped and patted his chest, his face still a little pale.
"What is that?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but frown as he looked at the huge rhinoceroses rampaging through the streets.
The wealthy people in Haojing City were too unreasonable. Riding such a large demonic beast, they actually behaved so recklessly in a place with dense pedestrians.
On the rhino's back, there was a skinny man with a nervous expression, but he was extremely handsome.
"Out of control!" The coachman was shocked and said, "The mount is out of control!"
"So that's the case" Xiang Nan nodded slightly and immediately rushed forward to suppress the rhino.
But before that, the rhinoceros had already crashed into the building on the right side of the road. On the road, a mother was pulling her two children and dodging in panic. She was also blown away.
"Child!" Xiang Nan's pupils constricted, and he immediately used his flower fingers to lift the mother and son into the air and floated them on the ground.
The martial artist fell and flew out. After falling, he stood up. However, the mother and son were all ordinary people. If they really fell to the ground and fell from a height of seven to eight meters, with such a fast speed of flying, they would probably be on the verge of death.
"How are you?" Xiang Nan rushed forward with three steps and two steps, helping the mother and son up.
The mother hugged her child and cried out in fright. The two children looked like they were only five or six years old. The little girl was better. The little boy's entire left arm had been scraped off by the rhinoceros and was bleeding profusely.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I have some trauma medicine here. It's very effective." Xiang Nan comforted her mother and quickly bandaged the boy's wounds.
At this time, the handsome man riding a rhinoceros ran out of the collapsed clothing shop in a sorry state.
"I'll make you disobey, I'll make you disobey!" The man held an iron whip in his hand and fiercely whipped the rhinoceros. There were serrated barbs on the iron whip, causing the rhinoceros to scream endlessly.
After he finished smoking the rhinoceros, he actually threw the iron whip to the ground and turned around to leave, not even caring about the rhinoceros mount.
Xiang Nan frowned and quickly ran up to grab the man's wrist."You hit someone! You want to escape?" He said.
"Let go of me! Who did I hit?" The man shook off Xiang Nan's arm. It seemed that he was enraged by the rhinoceros and was in a very bad mood.
However, when he followed Xiang Nan's finger and saw the tragic situation of the mother and son, a flash of panic quickly flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't see it just now."
"Forget it if you don't see it?" Xiang Nan was furious in his heart. You, a martial artist, rode around on a demonic beast and almost pretended to be an ordinary citizen. Did you just use this sentence to finish the job?
"I'll just pay for it. I didn't kill them." The handsome man took out a handful of gold coins and threw them to the mother and son. After that, he turned around to leave.
"Stop!" Xiang Nan stood in front of the man and said angrily, "You knocked him into such a state that you didn't even say an apology."
"Get out of the way!" The man was also anxious and said, "I still have urgent matters to attend to."
"What is more important than human life!" Xiang Nan spread out his arms and said, "Do you think money can solve everything?"
"That's right. How could there be such a person who knocked someone down? He looks like he's angry."
"That's right, this is Haojing, a place for reasoning."
The people on the streets surrounded him, their mouths full of responsibility for the man.
The man was pointed at by the crowd, his face flushed red with reprimand. He was angry, so he vented his anger on Xiang Nan and said angrily, "I told you that I didn't see it. I also accompanied the money that I should accompany!"
"The gold coins I gave to the mother and son are something they will never earn in their entire lives. What else do you want!"
Xiang Nan said in a low voice, "Apologize. Go apologize to the mother and son."
"Apologize, me? You want me to apologize to them?" The man seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He pointed at his nose and asked in disbelief.
