Chapter 335: The Dragon at the Promotion Ceremony
Chapter 335: "Promotion Ceremony" Seeing the Dragon
"This is..."
In the rubble of piled rocks, the remains of a young man were exposed to Ji Ming and Lan Junxian.
The head and shoulders of the corpse were gone, and the remaining body was bloody and fleshy, making it difficult to identify at first glance.
Ji Ming and Lan Junxian fell directly from the sky and approached the corpse to observe.
"It is the remains of the bait, and the data from the Sky Eye matches."
Ji Ming leaned over to touch the damaged edge of the "corpse" and concluded:
"Jiang Qian tried to use the bait to distract the beast king and take the opportunity to escape from here. He succeeded. Although this beast king was smart and cunning, he was a little arrogant after all. He didn't expect to be calculated by such a weak prey."
"Well, human flesh mixed with strawberry flavor, even dessert was considered after the meal, worthy of being my student, Lan Junxian."
Confirming that the corpse did not belong to Jiang Qian, Lan Junxian breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, the image data of the Sky Eye ends here, just one minute, and then the two of us intervene. But I am very sure that something must have been missed in the middle."
Jiming turned his head and looked at Lan Junxian.
A breeze blew, and thunderclouds gathered above their heads, and the rain was getting heavier.
"I agree. Although the image connection is very natural, there is still a slight misalignment in the outline and position of the clouds in the sky."
While Lan Junxian expressed his approval, he was deeply shocked in his heart: This is very abnormal.
Not to mention that Jiang Qian may have been alone with the Beast King for more than a minute, which is a rare precedent in the promotion ceremony. Even if Jiang Qian only spent ten seconds with this five-state beast king, it would be enough to make people tremble with fear!
Five-state dimensionality reduction and slaughter of three-state, isn't this just like playing?
Lan Junxian frowned and looked at the sky:
"This means that Jiang Qian and the Teng Snake King spent at least more than 1 minute together... and during this period, the Sky Eye system stopped working. There are only two possibilities that can stop the Sky Eye from working: one is that the highest-authorized user of the item died, and the other is that the Sky Eye and the user were disconnected intentionally."
"I hope it's the latter, otherwise you and I can only bring back the news that Qianlong Wuyong was killed."
Ji Ming said lightly, and his arm muscles tightened instantly.
The long-handled battle axe instantly raised its edge, and the round blade slashed horizontally-
Lan Junxian's eyes condensed, and when he looked back, he saw the green-faced and fanged Teng Snake head jumping out from under the rubble. It came so fast that it could be seen that it had made sufficient preparations.
However, at this time, its thick and interlaced fangs did not reach the prey at all, and it was forced to bite at the round blade of the giant axe. The huge battle axe just filled the mouth of the beast king Teng Snake, and saliva poured down its teeth onto the axe surface.
Ji Ming remained calm.
Teng Snake used its brute force to wrestle fiercely, as if it wanted to bite off the battle axe, but its teeth could never wedge in an inch!
As Ji Ming's eyes shifted, the huge axe surface trembled.
The round blade that had not yet touched the mouth of the Teng Snake suddenly swung out a sharp edge that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, which startled the violent beast suddenly, loosened its teeth and staggered back a few steps, raising its head and making a piercing roar.
Then, the huge mouth opened, and venom mixed with pus and blood suddenly sprayed towards the two people!
The poisonous liquid seemed like a deadly hidden weapon as thin as a hair, but a transparent liquid barrier had quietly blocked the Teng Snake and the two people.
"Cunning guy." Lan Junxian sighed.
At this time, Ji Ming and Lan Junxian were already far away in the clouds several miles away.
"Jiang Qian is not on this island, he may be underwater. Mr. Lan, please go into the sea to retrieve him, leave this to me."
Ji Ming said to Lan Junxian, and at the same time, his face calmly greeted the five-state beast king dragging the afterimage again.
"Are you alone?"
While Lan Junxian hesitated, his eyes locked on the approaching Teng Snake, concentrating his mind, using water as a weapon to defend against the enemy from dozens of meters away:
The dense rain of needles fell on the Teng Snake that was rushing towards him, successfully reversing its flight path and defusing the attack.
He looked at Ji Ming again and made a reasonable analysis:
"This beast king is at the same evolutionary level as you and me, and has a natural regeneration power that is almost as powerful as conceptual power. It may be difficult for you to control it without seriously injuring or killing it."
Lan Junxian thought for a while and continued to make his own suggestions:
"Perhaps we can work together to subdue the Teng Snake first, and then go underwater to find Jiang Qian?"
"It's a bit risky. We don't know Jiang Qian's situation yet." Ji Ming said concisely.
Lan Junxian hesitated.
Indeed, the Five-State Beast King was an unexpected situation, and the loss of the Sky Eye's image was also an unexpected accident. At present, Jiang Qian's safety is the top priority.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Lan Junxian looked at the beast king who was turning in mid-air.
"Find a way to control it with the involution props and leave it to Jiang Qian."
Ji Ming said, his eyes slightly fixed.
He used the five natural forces to change the wind direction in the area, disrupting the flying balance of the beast king Teng Snake, thereby slowing down its attack rhythm.
Continued to Lan Junxian:
"I will leave it with a breath and hand it over to Jiang Qian intact, so that he can achieve the result of conquering the beast king."
"This is indeed a bit difficult for you..."
Lan Junxian rubbed his forehead.
It sounds a bit like a fantasy to let a murderous five-state complex capture a beast king of the same level alive without injury.
But the current situation does not allow everything to be perfect, so Lan Junxian compromised:
"Okay, you should be more careful!"
"Yeah."
After a simple communication, Lan Junxian turned and plunged into the deep sea.
However, at this time, the Teng Snake had quickly adapted to the flight mode with wind interference, and continued to boldly display its high-speed hunting ability similar to the snake shadow stealth, and pounced in the direction of Lan Junxian!
Its journey was blocked again, and a red figure suddenly blocked the Teng Snake.
...
The deep seabed is dark and deep.
Jiang Qian, who was sinking continuously, suddenly opened his eyes, facing the almost oppressive darkness, and his memory quickly recalled in his mind!
He saw that he decisively chose to enter the last stage of the promotion ceremony, the "Beast King Battle", and encountered the brutal pursuit of the Teng Snake on the stormy deserted island. Then, he retreated to the seaside in a hurry.
While waiting for the arrival of foreign aid, the sea behind him burst into a roar as if the end of the world was approaching.
Then, the state of the Teng Snake changed dramatically.
This hysterical killer and greedy hunter actually showed a state of cowardice and fear at a certain moment?
At that time, the first thought that popped into Jiang Qian's mind was: There must be something hidden in the sea that the Beast King Teng Snake feared.
But the "fear" of the Teng Snake did not last long.
It quickly "woke up" and continued to pounce on him, trying to kill him!
At that time, there was no sign of foreign aid coming...
So Jiang Qian made a quick decision and turned around and jumped into the ocean!
As expected, the Teng Snake did not catch up.
Jiang Qian could see the image of the Teng Snake hovering over the ocean through the sea surface.
When he tried to see the whole picture through the Sky Eye system, he found that he could no longer get in touch with the Sky Eye prop.
There was no sign or indication of the reason, so Jiang Qian had to stay calm, lie dormant, and wait for the Teng Snake to leave.
But at the same time, his body was involuntarily attracted to the deep sea!
It was a force that he could not refuse or resist, and it also made him feel kind and familiar.
Jiang Qian couldn't describe this feeling.
Although he had guessed what was "attracting" him.
The body continued to sink, towards the deep seabed where no light could be seen...
He didn't even know when he "fell asleep".
When he woke up, Jiang Qian's vision had adapted to the darkness of the deep sea, and soon, he also adapted to the pressure of the deep sea.
Jiang Qian tried to follow the wonderful "gravity" in the dark, trying to see the true face of the other party like when he was communicating with the Teng Snake.
I want to see it with my own eyes.
However, the closer he tried to get, the more it seemed like he had no chance to see it - he had entered a dead end.
In the darkness, Jiang Qian's hand touched something soft and hard, smooth and thick, stretching in front of him, blocking his way.
Jiang Qian stopped moving and looked up to face forward.
The spatial vision provided by his spiritual vision gradually became clearer, and the object blocking him gradually merged with his inner guess.
Dragon!
It was a dragon, it must be a dragon.
It was at the same level as himself, and the diameter of its head was already greater than his height.
Jiang Qian felt his heartbeat speed up and his blood rushing. It was not panic, but excitement!
The beast kings of the two identity cards appeared.
And the dragon that he was most looking forward to and curious about showed more friendliness than the ferocious and brutal Teng Snake - assuming that it was not an illusion.
"You helped me."
Jiang Qian tried to convey his thoughts with his mind, not a question, but an affirmation.
He received a deafening response.
The entire seabed trembled with this incredible response!
This was probably the coldest, most tragic, and most shocking sound Jiang Qian had ever heard in his life. It was hard to imagine that there would be a species in the world that could make such an emotional sound.
It shook Jiang Qian's heart and reminded him at the same time.
This was the battlefield of the battle between the beast kings, and the future of his relationship with the other party would inevitably be weighed here.
The water was surging, and the behemoth in the spiritual vision leaned away.
Jiang Qian reached out to the prop locker, grabbed the props and quickly swam after the dragon's figure...
He remembered.
The reason for fainting just now: at a certain moment when he was sinking, the head of the giant dragon suddenly appeared in front of him!
The majestic and deep eyes, and the domineering expression were truly and deeply in front of him, staring at him silently.
He saw the dragon's eyes clearly.
Without the passion to hunt or provoke, the dragon's eyes were full of vicissitudes, and the moment it looked directly at Jiang Qian, it revealed its undisguised disappointment.
Its disappointment was fleeting as it turned around, and the dragon left Jiang Qian behind and swam away to the deep sea alone.
It was at the moment when it turned around that Jiang Qian got a glimpse of the dragon's entire body.
The extremely large and beautiful skeleton structure, the winding and smooth overall lines, the gray-red scales scattered incompletely on the dragon's body surface, the damaged bones and flesh were some that adhered to the gaps, forming sores and scars, and some that had disappeared, exposing the organs wrapped in the bones.
The originally sharp and strong claws, scales and finger bones were also shattered. It is hard to imagine whether it will still be able to soar into the sky once it leaves the deep sea...
It was at this moment when he saw the true body of the broken dragon that Jiang Qian experienced a strong physical discomfort for no reason, and his eyes became dark and he lost consciousness.
He remembered everything, every detail.
Jiang Qian used the snake shadow to sneak, speeding up his swimming speed in the water, and blocked the dragon in front of him!
...
Under the thunderclouds, on the deserted island.
Ji Ming, half naked, held a huge axe in his hand, leaning against the peaks, and used the wind as his "eyes" to spy on the movement trajectory of the beast king.
The entire island has become a large-scale arena for him and the snake, with the remains and minced meat of the beast king scattered all over the ground.
Although every time they fought, Ji Ming could accurately cut the "non-fatal vitals" of the beast king at the last moment, the opponent's "regeneration power" was so strong that no matter what kind of damage, it could be turned around by itself in an instant!
Now, Ji Ming's situation is relatively unfavorable.
He consumed a lot of physical strength to fight with this beast king at the peak of the five states, successfully angered the opponent, and thus burst out with a more fierce fighting desire than before.
At the same time, in several unexpected venom attacks and defenses, part of the venom penetrated into the pores through the skin surface.
Ji Ming was poisoned.
Under the layers of filtration of the anti-poison props, some of the tricky effects were still played.
Specifically, the poisoned person's control over the five senses gradually fails, and his body coordination drops sharply.
In the most recent fight, Ji Ming, who was known to be invincible under the six states, did not get any advantage from the beast king, and even lost a suit jacket.
…
"Jiming?"
Lan Junxian's urgent questioning voice came from the button camera of the Sky Eye.
Jiang Qian left more than one secondary eye, which was enough to serve as a communication tool between the three.
"Yes."
Jiming lowered his voice.
"Jiang Qian is not in the sea."
Lan Junxian's voice came through the button.
Ji Ming frowned.
This news means that the most uncontrollable accident has occurred.
Then, his voice, along with a slightly disordered breath, came into Lan Junxian's ears through the button: "I am very sure that he is not on the island, including any airspace in this closed space. If he is, I will know it very well."
There was silence on the other end for a while, and then Lan Junxian's voice came:
"Are you okay?"
"No problem."
Jiming recovered his tone and continued: "Look for it again. Now the promotion ceremony is still going on, which means that Jiang Qian is not yet in danger of death... We still have time."
"Okay, I know."
After Lan Junxian agreed, he couldn't help but remind him:
"Jiming, causing damage may not solve all problems... But if the situation gets out of control, we will deal with the worst result."
Jiming's eyes shifted to his slightly trembling left hand and answered:
"It won't get out of control."
The call ended.
The effect of the venom continued to increase.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Jiming's forehead. His body was pressed against the rock wall, trying to maintain his balance, but he still inevitably stepped on a stone.
This tiny mistake did not escape the keen attention of the beast king Teng Snake.
It suddenly turned around and rushed towards the rock wall where Ji Ming was hiding!
The whole rock wall suddenly exploded.
Ji Ming's figure appeared from behind the collapsed rock and was intercepted by the Teng Snake who was staring at his route.
During the hunting process, the brutal beast king was so excited that he roared in the air, eager to declare his victory!
However, when its teeth bit Ji Ming, it realized that it had been fooled.
The skin of "Jiming" suddenly split from the outside and wrapped around the face of the Teng Snake. It wrapped the huge beast king like a big bag, forming a considerable independent space.
This independent space isolates all external supplies: sunlight, air, water... everything.
Ji Ming himself has silently appeared not far outside the air bag at this time.
That was not an ordinary airbag, but a strange prop called "inward airbag":
Once you are hit, even gods cannot save you!
The more you struggle, the tighter it rolls, the more painful it will be, and even the faster you will die.
The corresponding solution is very simple: calm down, and the inward airbag will automatically pop open.
But few people take the initiative to try this.
Jiming watched the remaining gas in the airbag being consumed bit by bit. No matter how frantically this fierce and powerful snake struggled, it could not inhale any more helpful gas.
Its breathing was about to stop, and its lungs were thirsty for oxygen, but there was no way to get it in!
Even though it was the king of beasts, its organs and blood meridians needed a lot of nutrients from nature, so that it could infinitely extend its regenerative power.
Ji Ming watched the struggling snake with an expressionless face, and turned to face the surging ocean.
