Touching the Dragon Scales!

The roar of the dragon echoed within the sealed cave, making Jiang Han's eardrums ache.

He could clearly sense that the enormous creature beside him was becoming extremely agitated.

Its thick tail thrashed restlessly against the ground, smashing the hard rocks to pieces.

It even began to move slowly, attempting to block Jiang Han's way.

This is the posture of a protector.

"Is it protecting its owner?"

Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

What level is that thing in the water that could make this zombie king-level monster feel so terrified, even instinctively wanting to protect its newly recognized "master"?

[System Warning! An extremely high-energy reaction source has been detected rising rapidly!]

[Target Hazard Level: ???]

[Warning! The aura of the Qilin bloodline has attracted "its" attention!]

Three question marks.

Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat.

This is the first time since the system was acquired that a situation has arisen where the level of danger could not be assessed.

"Splash..."

The once calm underground lake suddenly began to boil.

It was as if a huge pot was boiling at the bottom of the water, with countless bubbles rolling up and bursting into thick white mist.

That's not water vapor.

That's tangible Yin energy!

The temperature dropped sharply.

Jiang Han's breath instantly turned into white frost, and a thin layer of ice formed on his eyebrows.

"Such a heavy yin energy."

Jiang Han gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain of his broken bones, and pulled a cold flame from his backpack.

"laugh--"

A red light shone, illuminating the surroundings in a blood-red hue.

By the light of the fire, Jiang Han could clearly see the Nine Netherworld Python beside him.

The creature was tense all over, its pale face contorted in a ferocious grimace, its fangs bared, staring intently at the water, a low growl rumbling from its throat.

Jiang Han reached out and patted the cold, hard scales.

"Don't panic."

His voice was very steady, unnaturally steady, "Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

Upon hearing Jiang Han's voice, the Nine Netherworld Python's trembling body calmed down slightly.

It lowered its head and gently nudged Jiang Han's back with its enormous head, as if urging him to run.

This scene was broadcast to the world without reservation through high-definition cameras.

The live stream chat exploded.

[I'm so upset! This giant snake is actually a loyal dog?!]

[It's letting the streamer go first! Are even monsters this loyal these days?]

Although it's ugly, I give it full marks for protecting its owner!

[Don't be moved! Look in the water! What...what is that?!]

On the screen, the boiling water suddenly exploded.

A huge white column of water shot into the sky and crashed into the top of the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a white figure, even larger than the Nine Netherworld Python, burst out of the water!

"Boom!"

The massive object landed, causing the entire underground cavern to shake violently, as if an earthquake of magnitude 8 had occurred.

Jiang Han felt her legs go weak and she almost lost her balance.

He looked up abruptly, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

That was a dragon.

A giant dragon whose entire body was covered in pale white scales!

It doesn't have the disgusting human face of the Nine Netherworld Python; its head is closer to that of the legendary dragon, but it is even more ferocious and twisted.

On its head grows a spiral-shaped horn that shimmers with an eerie purple light.

The most terrifying thing is its eyes.

Those were two burning will-o'-the-wisps, without pupils, only endless madness and slaughter.

"White-scaled Corpse Dragon..."

An ancient memory instantly surfaced in Jiang Han's mind.

This is the data the system transmitted to him.

The Nine Netherworld Python is a "tomb guardian beast" and is male.

The white-scaled corpse dragon in front of us is female!

He is also the true "king" of this underground forbidden zone!

"roar--!!!"

The white-scaled corpse dragon let out a deafening roar, and the sound wave, like a tangible shockwave, directly extinguished the cold flame in Jiang Han's hand.

Darkness descended once more.

But this didn't last long.

Because the scales on the White-Scaled Corpse Dragon's body began to emit a faint white light, illuminating the entire cave as if it were a ghostly realm.

Its ghostly eyes locked onto Jiang Han immediately.

That look in his eyes was as if he had seen an absolutely delicious meal.

The taste of Qilin blood is fatally tempting to it.

"Slurp..."

A long, scarlet tongue emerged from its mouth, stirring up the lingering smell of blood in the air.

next second.

It moved.

Without any hesitation, its massive body transformed into a white lightning bolt, opening its enormous maw—large enough to swallow a truck—and lunging directly at Jiang Han!

fast!

too fast!

This speed is simply beyond human reaction time.

Jiang Han felt a stench hit him, and his blood froze instantly.

There's no escaping it!

"hold head high!!!"

At this critical moment.

A black figure suddenly rushed out from the side.

It's the Nine Netherworld Python!

Ignoring the hierarchy, it actually used its head to smash hard into the neck of the White-Scaled Corpse Dragon!

"Bang!!!"

The two prehistoric behemoths collided violently.

The dull thud made my teeth ache.

The white-scaled corpse dragon was knocked off course by the impact, its gaping maw missing its mark as it grazed Jiang Han's scalp before slamming into the nearby rock wall.

"Snap!"

The hard granite was crushed into powder as easily as tofu.

Jiang Han felt a chill run down his spine as several pebbles hit his face, causing a burning pain.

"That was close..."

He rolled away to create distance and gripped the Black Gold Ancient Sword in his backhand.

The white-scaled corpse dragon, which had been knocked away, became utterly enraged.

It suddenly turned its head, its ghostly eyes fixed on the Nine Netherworld Python.

It cannot understand.

Why would your spouse attack you for a mere piece of food?

"roar!!!"

It let out an angry roar, and its huge tail lashed out, striking the Nine Netherworld Python directly.

"Snapped!"

A loud bang.

The Nine Netherworld Python let out a miserable scream, large patches of black scales flew off its body, and blood splattered everywhere.

But it did not retreat.

It coiled tightly in front of Jiang Han, like a black city wall, and roared threateningly at the even more powerful white dragon.

One black and one white.

Two colossal beasts confront each other in a narrow cavern.

The scene was like a myth come to life!

The chat in the live stream was going crazy.

[Holy crap! Domestic violence?!]

[This is so exciting! Xiao Hei actually fought with his wife for the sake of the streamer!]

[This is true love! Aren't you moved, host?]

[Touching my foot! That's the effect of the bloodline contract! Little Black is acting against his will!]

[Oh no! Little Black is clearly no match for Little White! The size difference is too great!]

Jiang Han looked at the Nine Netherworld Python blocking his way.

Looking at its torn flesh and flowing black blood.

His gaze gradually turned cold.

That's his man... no, that's his snake.

You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog.

Beat up his underlings in front of him?

"court death."

Jiang Han uttered two words, and the black gold ancient sword in his hand emitted a crisp hum.

He did not choose to run away.

Running away at this moment would not only mean losing the newly tamed battle pet, but would also cause his newly established "invincible" persona to collapse.

Since we're here...

Then let's take them all at once!

"Little Black, crouch down!"

Jiang Han suddenly shouted.

The Nine Netherworld Python instinctively obeyed the command and suddenly lowered its body.

next second.

Jiang Han took two running steps, his military boots slamming hard on the rocks, and he was launched into the air!

To everyone's horror, he actually jumped directly onto the head of the Nine Netherworld Python!

"rise!"

Jiang Han grabbed a bone spike on the head of the Nine Netherworld Python with one hand, while the black gold ancient sword in his other hand pointed directly at the white-scaled corpse dragon opposite him.

"hold head high!!!"

The Nine Netherworld Python sensed its master's fighting spirit, and its original fear was instantly replaced by fervor.

It suddenly stood upright, sending Jiang Han into the air, so that he could look at the white-scaled corpse dragon at eye level!

A person and a snake, becoming one.

Jiang Han stood atop the giant beast, his clothes fluttering in the wind, like a demon god descended to earth.

He stared into those ghostly eyes, a crazed smile curving his lips.

"You want my blood?"

"Then I'll trade my life for it!"
