Chapter 31
Top Secret Files!
boom--!!!
The black gold ancient sword, carrying immense force, cleaved through the violently swirling water.
But this time, the blade did not deliver the cutting sensation of flesh.
It was more like slashing a high-voltage power line!
"Sizzle—"
The Dragon Blood Resurrection Grass wrapped around Jiang Han's fingertip seemed to come alive in that instant.
It sensed the boiling Qilin blood within Jiang Han's body, like a sponge that had been dry for ten thousand years finding water.
The originally blood-red leaves suddenly tightened, and the sharp serrations instantly pierced Jiang Han's finger skin!
pain!
Excruciating pain!
But within this pain was an ancient, desolate, and extremely tyrannical will that rushed into Jiang Han's mind like a flood, following the wound.
"roar--!!!"
Jiang Han's pupils instantly lost focus.
His eyes, which were originally completely black, now had a dark golden flame burning deep within them.
His perspective changed.
It is no longer a gloomy underwater morgue, no longer a pitch-black, icy pool.
Instead, it was a blood-red sky!
Countless "gods" clad in golden armor, wielding thunder and chains, are hunting a colossal dragon that blots out the sky.
Dragon blood fell and transformed into rivers.
The dragon's corpse fell, breaking the Kunlun Mountains and forming this bottomless rift.
That was... an ancient scene of god slaughter!
"puff!"
Jiang Han suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and almost fell into the wildly spinning vortex.
But he did not fall.
He clung tightly to the still-sucking plant, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.
He saw it.
He saw the truth that had been deliberately erased.
The live stream cameras faithfully recorded this scene.
Jiang Han trembled all over, his face covered in blood, but his eyes shone with a frightening light, as if he were a demon that had crawled back from hell.
He faced the camera, his voice hoarse, carrying a chilling, penetrating power:
"Brothers..."
"Do you really think the twelve zodiac animals are just a zoo list used to count ages?"
The comments section paused for a second, then refreshed rapidly.
[Jiang Shen, what happened?! You're bleeding!]
Don't scare me! That expression is weird! It looks like she's possessed!
[The twelve zodiac animals? Why bring that up now?]
[Is the streamer hallucinating?]
Jiang Han ignored the comments on the screen. He raised the alluring dragon blood grass in his hand, his eyes burning with fervor.
"Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit..."
"The first eleven were all mortal creatures that had been tamed by humans or that could be killed."
"Only the dragon."
"Is it a totem? Is it an auspicious omen?"
"No!"
Jiang Han suddenly raised his voice, the sound echoing in the empty cavern, causing the surrounding corpse crystals to buzz:
"That's the 'Investiture of the Gods'!"
"That's a 'prisoner list'!"
"The dragon is the only 'god' to be killed!"
"The reason we can't see it is because it's too powerful, so powerful that we must grind it to dust, so powerful that we must suppress its corpse at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain, so that it may never be reborn!"
boom!
This sentence was like a nuclear bomb, exploding in the minds of millions of viewers.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine, a cold sensation shooting straight to the top of their head.
This statement... is so revolutionary!
It's too gloomy!
But considering the terrifying underwater morgue before them, and the icy pool where thousands of people were buried alive to suppress it, it was impossible to refute the argument!
Jiang Han pointed to the bottomless darkness beneath his feet, his tone chilling:
"So-called totem worship often stems from humanity's extreme awe of fear."
"We worship it because we fear its return."
"But what's buried underneath..."
"It seems...very unwilling to accept this."
……
The highest-level operational conference room of Bureau 749 in Beijing.
"Snapped!"
The teacup in Professor Gu Changfeng's hand shattered.
He stared intently at Jiang Han on the big screen, his aged face filled with terror and disbelief.
"How...how did he know?!"
"This is the content of an SSS-level top-secret file! It's the truth deciphered from fragments of bamboo slips from the Shang and Zhou dynasties!"
"Quick! Cut off the live stream!"
A senior colonel standing nearby, his face ashen, shook his head: "It can't be cut off. Ever since he entered that cave, the signal source has been taken over by an unknown magnetic field, rendering our technology completely ineffective. Now... he's broadcasting live to all of humanity!"
Gu Changfeng slumped into his chair, muttering to himself:
"It's over..."
"The lid... has been lifted."
……
The live stream chat exploded.
The gift effects were spamming the screen like they were free, almost completely obscuring the view.
Holy crap! I'm getting goosebumps! This explanation is way too hardcore!
[This is terrifying to think about! Absolutely terrifying!]
No wonder we couldn't find the dragon! It turned out it had been killed and imprisoned here!
[Stop talking, streamer! I feel like someone's knocking on my door!]
Is this something we can play? Is this something we can listen to?
Jiang Han looked at the Dragon Blood Grass in his hand.
Its roots had penetrated deep into his flesh and blood, greedily drawing blood from him.
But he did not stop it.
Because he felt that as his blood was being lost, an even more powerful and scalding force was flowing back into his body through the grass stem.
That is... the essence of dragon's blood.
"Want to eat me?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Han's eyes, and the Qilin tattoo suddenly lit up with a blinding red light.
"Let's see who eats whom!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The Dragon Blood Resurrection Grass suddenly let out a piercing scream.
"Wow--!!!"
The sound was exactly like the cry of a baby, just like the previous ghost-faced salamander, but much sharper and more piercing!
Followed by.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone.
The grass transformed into a scarlet streak of light and actually... forced its way into Jiang Han's palm!
