Chapter 50: The Black Dragon Society (1)
Yokohama Chinatown.
During the Meiji Restoration, it was a settlement for Chinese, commonly known as Chinatown, which is still full of shops and restaurants, but all of them were reduced to rubble in the Great Kanto Earthquake. Qin Beiyang covered his face as usual, so as not to be discovered by the eyeliner of the Craftsman Alliance, and the nine colors did a second make-up, transforming from an English mastiff to a Japanese Akita dog.
Fangzi has wiped away her tears and praised Jiuse's cuteness. She knew that this was the only small town tomb beast in the world.
Across Chinatown, a bamboo grove hides a large Japanese-style house. The house was built so sturdily that it did not collapse in the earthquake, but only fell off a lot of tiles and a few pillars were crooked, and it seemed to be in danger.
"That manβno, that demon, right here?"
Fangzi replied in her ear in a breathy voice: "Brother Beiyang, you have to be careful!" β
The wooden wall broke a big hole in the earthquake, and Qin Beiyang pulled out the Tang knife behind his back and quietly sneaked into the Japanese-style house. He was not in a hurry to kill the demon, but wanted to capture it and interrogate it about the secrets of the past twenty years.
Nine colors walked ahead, his eyes glowing with a dim light, as if he had smelled some kind of scent? The environment inside the house is extremely dark, and there are collapsed beams and columns everywhere, as if you have entered a decaying ancient tomb. It transforms into a young Kirin Town Tomb Beast, with antlers on its head, bronze scale armor, and spits out a glass fireball for illumination.
With an ivory-handled dagger in her hand, Yoshiko used the Assassin's Way she had cultivated in the "Heavenly Academy" to walk silently, coming close to the ground, and pulling open a sliding Japanese door that was almost intact.
They saw a square hall surrounded by tatami mats, but in the middle of it was a circular pool with a bottomless pool of black water.
"What is this place?"
Before Qin Beiyang's words fell, the water surface began to bubble, and then the water splashed bigger and bigger, gushing like a fountain. Black water splashed on his face, and although it was not filthy water, it had a familiar fishy smell.
Finally, a pair of antlers poured out of the churning water.
It is larger than the nine-colored antlers, and glows with a golden reflection when illuminated by a glass fireball. Then came a pair of eyes, round like brass bells radiating red, and countless tentacles swaying and waving, revealing sharp teeth. The whole narrow head was exposed, and then the long neck and body, like a thick python winding out of the black water, wrapped around the pool several times, if elongated, at least a few zhang, two pairs of claws were arranged in front and back, like four-fingered eagle claws, inlaid on the tatami mat wet by the black water. Its body is covered with a layer of black scales, like the scales of a black fish emitting a heavy metal sheen.
It's a dragon.
Black Dragon!
Qin Beiyang and Jiu Se both subconsciously took half a step back - Black Dragon Nidhogg? He remembered four years ago when he fell into the crater of a volcanic crater in the depths of a Viking mausoleum, and it was a black dragon that saved his life.
This dragon perentrenches under the World Tree, constantly gnawing at its thick roots, determined to destroy the World Tree and trigger the "Ragnarok" apocalypse.
But the image of the black dragon in front of him, the body is similar to Nidhogg, but the head is the image of a Chinese dragon, or is it the Chinese version of Nidhogg?
The black dragon's body was wriggling and circling, and the dragon's head was raised in mid-air, his eyes were shining, and he looked directly at Qin Beiyang and Fangzi who were uninvited guests.
"What the hell is this place? And where did the dragon come from? β
Facing the eyes of the black dragon, Fangzi trembled, dragged him to the corner of the room, and said in a trembling voice, "North ...... Beiyang Brother ...... Age...... In the year of Gengzi, a Japanese expedition, with the approval of my father, came to the Heilongjiang River in China, and they captured a black dragon from the river and secretly brought it back to Japan. β
Gengzi year, isn't it the year Qin Beiyang was born?
"Sure enough, it's a dragon from China!"
"The following year, the Japanese built a prison for Black Dragon in Yokohama, an underground pool sealed with iron bars and granite."
"This is the altar of the Black Dragon Society?"
Qin Beiyang twisted his thick eyebrows, remembering that Haneda Taiki once said that there is a powerful secret organization in Japan, called the Black Dragon Society, which is named because it covets China's Heilongjiang River valley - this group of people declares the "Xingya Theory", advocating taking Japan as the core, uniting China, annexing Korea, promoting Asian civilization, and countering the power of the white race. It is said that the League was established in the Tokyo Club of the Black Dragon Society, and in the early years, there were many forces of the Black Dragon Society behind the revolutionaries.
"Not bad! Brother Beiyang, this is the place you are looking for! Sichuan Taoist, that demon! Just stay here! β
"Are we going too fast?"
Qin Beiyang raised his crossbow vigilantly and aimed it at the eyes of the black dragon with teeth and claws. I thought it would take several years to find out the Sichuan Taoist and find out the details of Ah Hai, but I didn't expect that Fangzi had brought herself to the tiger's den in Longtan.
Suddenly, the black dragon opened its bloody mouth, and was about to swallow Qin Beiyang and Fangzi in one gulp, but the nine-colored antlers blocked the blow, otherwise the master would have become the black dragon's lunch.
Between the antlers and the dragon's teeth, there was a sonorous collision. The antlers of the young Qilin Town Tomb Beast changed rapidly, growing into a towering tree, its eyes radiating a fierce light, and its four claws were pushed backwards into the floor by the black dragon. A glass fireball erupted from the mouth of the Nine Colors, and it was directly attached to the black dragon's chest. In an instant, sparks splashed everywhere, but they did not tear the black dragon's scale armor.
Qin Beiyang's crossbow shot out a steel arrow, accurately smashing between the black dragon's eyes.
The black dragon let out a painful roar, its body squirming and retreating, its body already soaked in the pool of black water.
Jiu Se didn't dare to jump into the water to chase after him, Qin Beiyang looked back, but found that Fangzi was gone!
The heart suddenly contracted, and another beautiful trap?
However, Qin Beiyang had already been mentally prepared. When Yoshiko cried and begged him, she knew that this girl might not be trusted. Even though she was bullied and abused, including the scars on her chest, they were real, but they ended up putting him in danger.
However, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger.
In order to find out the truth about the Sichuan Taoist people, the life story of the assassin Ah Hai, he was willing to take this big risk.
The black dragon's body was long, and the back half was still outside the pool, and the dragon's tail quietly bypassed the entire hall and knocked Qin Beiyang to the ground from behind. But he vigilantly held the Tang knife in his back hand and plunged into the gap of the black scales. And his knife, which gathered An Lushan's strength, was enough to pierce steel.
Blood splattered Qin Beiyang's face. This is not a tomb beast, but a real dragon, the lifeform of an ancient divine beast, which may have been lurking in the cold bottom of the Heilongjiang River for tens of thousands of years! In other words, because of this black dragon, it was named "Heilongjiang".
The black dragon roared and rose above the pool, its ability to soar into the air and almost crash through the ceiling. It's broad daylight outside, and if it breaks through, the sunlight shines into the dark room, and the nine colors will lose their ability to fight, and turn into a big dog again, maybe they will be devoured by the black dragon. And once this dragon escapes, it will definitely kill in post-disaster Japan, and countless people will die under the dragon's claws......
Qin Beiyang decided to kill this black dragon.
Nine colors understood the master's intentions, and once again spewed out multiple clusters of glass fireballs in succession. The ever-expanding antlers entangled the lower half of the black dragon's body, making it difficult for it to slam into the crumbling beam with all its might. But the power of the black dragon was strong, and it constantly slapped the jet-black water, like the waves crashing against Qin Beiyang and the Nine Colors, making it difficult for them to stand, and the soles of their feet slipped. Even though it's September, the water is cold to the bone, like the Heilongjiang River in the north. Fortunately, the town's tomb beast stood firm on its four legs, Qin Beiyang had been bruised and swollen, his cross bow had also lost its head, and several steel arrows flew past the black dragon's side one after another.
