Chapter 41: Fighting the Dragon
The creature had approached five nautical miles, and the aftermath reverberated through the Breaking Waves. The spray at the front suddenly dispersed, and a huge head poked out of the water. In the morning sun, the hideous head was dripping with water, the bloody mouth was open, and the sharp fangs were terrifying.
"Woo-" It let out a vigorous howl, deafening. Then the creature leaped out of the sea, and everyone finally saw the creature in its entirety. The creature had a snake-like body, but it had four claws, a fish-like tail, two horns on its head, a mane on its neck, two hairs sticking out of the front of its nose, and dark blue scales all over its body.
Everyone was stunned, and many were so stunned that they couldn't speak, and there was only one word in their minds: "Dragon"! "The Dragon Lord has appeared!" Many sailors knelt down and kowtowed to the dragon, "Thank you, Lord Dragon, for driving away the sharks for us." "The people who run the boat worship the dragon lord very much, and regard him as the true god of the family.
Huang Hui smiled: "No wonder these sharks run faster than rabbits, it turns out that this is the case, no matter how fierce you white-fronted sharks are, they are not a small fish when they meet a dragon." ”
No matter how ferocious and violent the white-fronted shark is, it is always a mortal beast, and the dragon is a divine beast of heaven and earth.
Cui Die frowned and said in a low voice: "I don't think the situation is optimistic, is this really a dragon?" Huang Hui was slightly stunned, and nodded and said: "That's right, this dragon is not like the ancient myth, it seems to just want to swim in the water like a fish in the sea, and it seems to be more ferocious than the white-fronted shark." ”
Cui Die suddenly shouted: "Don't let your guard down, everyone, get ready for battle!" Almost at the same time as Cui Die spoke, a wail came from the port side.
The dragon had climbed the deck. In one bite, it bites off half of the nearest crossbowman, curls its long tongue, and then rolls the lower half into its mouth and chews it. Blood was dripping and wetting a large part of the deck.
Everyone was stunned, and many sailors thought that the Dragon Lord was angry, and they knelt down to it. Who knew that the "Dragon King" could ignore these "believers", poked out his claws, played a few tricks, and several sailors were immediately disemboweled. Blood stained the deck red.
Huang Hui shouted, "That thing is not a dragon, but a Jiao!" A real dragon has five claws, while a dragon has only three claws! Sure enough, there were only three scaly claws on the fierce head. The dragon is an ancient divine beast, does not eat people's fireworks, and Jiao is a cruel and ferocious demon beast, legend has it that Jiao likes to eat human flesh and suck human blood. Sure enough, this Jiao, who climbed onto the deck, stretched out his tongue to lick and suck the hot blood flowing on the deck, and from time to time it made a howling sound, calling people, and it was terrifying.
"Crossbowman, shoot this monster to death!" Cui Die shouted. Although the children of the Cui Han family are experienced in a hundred battles, but in the face of this demon beast, there is a trace of timidity, the speed of pulling the arrow and the bow is half a beat slower than usual, and at that moment, I saw Jiao's body probed, half of it has squatted on the deck, the scale tail slashed suddenly, and several sailors were interrupted by the waist, although they were divided into two halves, but they were not dead, and let out a terrible wail, which made everyone feel a chill down their spines.
Instead of eating the sailors, the dragon licked and sucked the blood from the deck while admiring their dying throes. "Damn!" Cui Die shouted angrily, violently lifted Neiyuan, and the two qi of ice and fire attacked Jiaolong.
Although the dragon was huge, it was very agile in its movements. With a twist of the head, the ice and fire energy immediately emptied. I saw Cui Die quickly pounce on Jiaolong, turn it into a knife, condense the true qi of cold ice, and turn into a "Xuan Ice Knife".
Jiaolong was also quite surprised to see that a human dared to challenge him alone, and it cracked its mouth to reveal Bai Sensen's fangs, as if mocking Cui Die's inadequacy.
Cui Diejiao shouted, and the Xuan Ice Knife slashed towards the dragon's neck with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops. Jiaolong actually didn't dodge or dodge, and brazenly accepted the move. Hearing the sound of gold and iron, Cui Die was shocked back more than ten steps, and the ice blade condensed in the palm of his hand had turned into ice slag. And Jiaolong did not have the slightest damage, only the scale armor of the neck showed an extra white mark, and I saw that it kept twisting its neck, as if laughing at Cui Die's futility.
"What hard scales!" Cui Die sighed secretly, at this moment, she was shocked by the scales of the dragon, and the blood and qi of her whole arm surged, and the soreness was unbearable, Fang Cai's knife could be split even if it was an iron pillar, who knew that cutting it on this beast didn't seem to be enough to itch.
Cui Die transforms his skills, the ice retreats, and the fire is born. I saw her jade palm flying, bringing out bursts of red clouds and drawing out waves of scorching qi, which was exactly - Fire Cloud Palm. The dragon was in the heat, feeling unwell, and let out a vicious roar from time to time.
"Bang Di", Cui Die slapped the head of the Jiaolong suddenly, the Jiaolong let out a strange scream, and the middle palm was suddenly red, and there was a trace of white gas, obviously this beast was afraid of fire.
Cui Die took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the temperature around him suddenly increased, and even the sailors and warriors who were gathered around to help him felt his mouth dry. The dragon suddenly let out a sharp roar, and the scale tail was thrown towards Cui Die, only to hear the "boom", the scorching air wave caused by the fire cloud palm was immediately swept away, and Cui Die was beaten to the point that he vomited blood and fell on the deck.
Seeing that the leader was injured, everyone immediately dispelled the fear in their hearts, and they all drew their blades and pounced on Jiaolong.
"No!" Cui Die didn't have time to warn, only to see Jiao's tail flick, and those warrior sailors who rushed forward were beaten to pieces, with heavy casualties. With a simple tail flick, it destroyed one-third of the combat power of the Breaking Wave. Cui Die's heart was full of grief, and he forcibly spit out the blood that had already gushed up his throat, and he was about to step forward to fight with him.
"Miss Cui, don't be impulsive." Huang Hui said in a low voice, "This dragon scale armor is hard, and the blade is difficult to hurt in the slightest, but it is not as ...... as this" Huang Hui told Cui Die what he thought in his heart.
Evil dragons were rampant, rivers of blood were already flowing on the deck, and many sailors were reduced to a cold corpse. Whether it is a sword or a bow and crossbow, it is in vain to face the dragon's scale armor that is as hard as iron.
"Brute, die!" Huang Hui stepped on a few steps, using the Netherworld Escape Technique, turning into a virtual shadow, avoiding the real and being virtual, and the soul chasing claw was like a deadly ghost, all of which hit the dragon, Huang Hui only felt that his hands seemed to be grasping an iron plate.
Jiaolong roared angrily, and reached out its claws to kill this nasty human, and the Netherworld Escape Technique performed another miraculous work, and Jiaolong only caught Huang Hui's afterimage. A claw missed, the evil Jiao was even more manic, the scale tail flicked, only to hear a "snap", the upper cabin was beaten to pieces, revealing the wheelhouse. Just when the dragon retracted the scale tail, he heard Cui Die's coquettish shout, the fire cloud palm slapped on the scale tail, the scorching air wave burned the scale armor red, the dragon suffered from pain, reproduced the madness of animal nature, and the scale tail turned into a thunderbolt and swept in all directions.
Cui Die stretched out ten jade fingers to firmly clasp the scale tail, no matter how the dragon flicked the tail, she never let go, and at the same time output the two true qi of cold ice and fire, ice and fire blended, alternating between cold and hot, and the dragon suddenly let out a piercing roar.
It turned out that Huang Hui remembered that the shark leather in his previous home would crack when he was roasted in winter, so Huang Hui used the principle of alternating hot and cold to deal with Jiaolong's invulnerable scale armor. Sure enough, under the urging of Cui Die's ice and fire qi, Jiaolong's scale armor began to soften, and Cui Die was also struggling to support at the moment, with her cultivation, she could not use ice and fire at the same time, because the clash of ice and fire would bring great damage to the meridians, at least the internal breath was chaotic, and at the worst the yin and yang in the body were out of balance.
It is very likely to repeat the last battle with Zhao Yuantao and the immortal immortals. Cui Die endured the pain of the meridians splitting, and pushed the two qi of ice and fire to the peak, and the scale armor finally softened completely.
"Death to the beasts!" Cui Die shouted angrily, tore his hands, and pieces of scales splashed around with flesh and blood. Cui Die hit with a beating, and the lotus step stepped quickly, aiming at Jiaolong's eyes and grabbing it.
Jiaolong's front paws clinged to the side of the ship, but its neck shrank back like lightning, curling up into several circles like a snake, and when Cui Die fell, he poked out his head like lightning and bit his opponent fiercely.
Cui Die attacked too quickly, and he couldn't close the momentum, and when he was about to be kissed, a figure suddenly appeared next to him and pulled him away. It turned out that Huang Hui stepped forward and pulled her out of her teeth with the Netherworld Retreat Technique.
Seeing the prey in his mouth slipping away, Jiaolong was immediately furious, ignoring the injured scale tail, and swept towards Huang Hui fiercely.
Huang Hui only felt a strong wind behind him, and before he could react, he was hit the back door, only to feel that his muscles and bones were almost broken, his mouth was scarlet, and the whole person was knocked off the ship by Jiaowei and fell into the water.
Everyone couldn't help but be angry and anxious, but they were powerless in the face of this evil Jiao. At this moment, the furious evil Jiao suddenly stopped, and looked at Huang Hui in a daze as he vomited blood on the deck.
The dragon slowly crawled in front of the blood, poked its head in front of the blood, and sniffed it several times. The most incredible thing happened, the dragon suddenly shrank back, and there was a look of fear in its eyes, it suddenly turned around and jumped into the sea with a whoosh.
"Oh no, Huang Gongzi is still in the water!" One of the surviving sailors shouted, and the crowd of survivors immediately gathered in front of the railing to find out. I saw that although Huang Hui was awake after falling into the water, his face was extremely pale, and he was obviously not lightly injured. And the dragon was circling around him, touching the surface of the sea with his forehead, and making groans of different lengths.
Huang Hui secretly complained: "Is it going to sing a song to celebrate before it eats me?" Cui Die was shocked and shouted: "Crossbowman, take the sky-shaking crossbow and shoot this evil beast!" ”
At this moment, everyone was already tired and tired, but the movement was still not slow, and the five steel drills were aimed at the dragon and shot out suddenly. only heard the sound of the "bell", and this extremely sharp weapon only shook the dragon and was not injured.
"Abominable demon, if you weren't afraid of accidentally injuring Huang Gongzi, you would definitely be able to taste the power of artillery!" Cui Die stomped his feet and scolded. "Woo-" Jiaolong suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a high-pitched roar.
After a while, I saw a whirlpool on the surface of the sea in the distance, and the whirlpool turned deeper and deeper, and a bottomless black hole was carved out of the sea.
"What's going on!" Cui Dieqi said. Cui Cheng's expression was solemn, and his words trembled and said: "That dragon seems to be summoning something, looking at the movement of the sea in the distance, it seems that there are some creatures swimming towards this side." ”
Cui Dieying's lips were no longer bloodless, and she muttered in a low voice: "Does it still have companions?" There was a slight shock from the Breaking Waves, and the sea shook for a while, as if the long-dormant monster had awakened.
The quiet sea surface swelled with monstrous waves, constantly rolling, several figures suddenly jumped up from the water, looking at the figures, it was obvious that there were several dragons.
Everyone is already in despair at this moment, one dragon has almost wiped out their entire army, and now there are a few more, and the Breaking Wave is probably unable to escape the doom of destruction today.
Cui Die said: "Later, after I go down to rescue Huang Gongzi, I will start the boat at full speed." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, the dragon was on the side of the Breaking Waves, even if the Breaking Waves could fly, it was impossible to escape from the dragon's attack range, as long as they were entangled by it for a while, when the dragon in the distance pounced, they still couldn't escape death.
Cui Die also knew that her method would not work at all, but there was no way to do it. I saw Cui Die suddenly jump into the sea, lift his body, and glide on the sea like a big bird.
"Huang Gongzi, grab my hand!" Cui Die shouted as he swept over Huang Hui's head.
Huang Hui saw that the savior was coming, and without thinking, he stretched out his hand to grab Cui Die's jade hand, only to see that the dragon let out a long roar, and the power of the tail swept towards Cui Die.
Cui Die secretly screamed helplessly, slapped Jiaowei with his backhand, and returned to the deck with his strength. At this moment, the dragon in the distance was already approaching, but everyone could see clearly that there were not only a few on the opposite side, but a group of Jiaolong, and the number of them was at least a hundred.
Everyone was like falling into an ice cave at this moment, and an atmosphere of despair hung over the Breaking Waves. The group of Jiao broke the waves and came separately, and more than 100 Jiao surrounded the breaking waves.
Cui Cheng smiled bitterly: "It seems that we all have to die here today!" ”
Cui Die said: "Don't panic first, you see that these dragons seem to be circling around Huang Gongzi, and they don't mean to attack us." ”
The dragons circled around Huang Hui, and from time to time they let out low moans of different lengths, as if excited and surprised. Suddenly, there was a long roar of cracking stones piercing the clouds in the void, and all the dragons suddenly lined up in an orderly manner, surrounding Huang Hui.
In the distance, a huge dragon slowly swam towards this side, it was more than fifty zhang long, its whole body was covered with golden armor, and it shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The sharp horns on the top of the head are extremely sharp, and they ripple out of the circle. When it falls to the surface of the sea, it stirs up a column of water that soars into the sky. I'm afraid that if it swings its tail, the Wave Breaker will turn into wreckage.
"Damn, this dragon is bigger than the Breaking Waves, I'm afraid it's the leader of the Jiao." Cui Cheng muttered to himself, "Could it be that the Jiaolong is the vanguard, and after finding food, he will invite his fellow kind and leaders to come over and enjoy it?" ”
Cui Die said: "It's not enough for us to stuff their teeth, they seem to be targeting Huang Gongzi, but they don't seem to have any ill will towards Huang Gongzi, let's see it clearly first." ”
The golden dragon swam in, and the group of dragons surrounding Huang Hui moved out of the way, revealing a gap for the leader to enter, and their movements were orderly, as if they were a well-trained army.
