Chapter 48
Offering Incense to Our Ancestors!
Boom-!
The second heartbeat sounded.
This time, it's not just about sound.
It was more like a heavy hammer blow that slammed into Jiang Han's chest.
puff!
Jiang Han's face turned pale, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Such powerful pressure!
The sound of his heartbeat alone was enough to injure him, who possessed the bloodline of the Qilin!
What kind of monster is lurking down there?!
"Jiang Han! Retreat immediately!"
Li Zhenhua's roar almost shattered his headset.
"The seismograph is off the charts! The epicenter is only 50 meters below your feet! That's...that's alive!"
He didn't need to remind me.
Jiang Han had already sensed it.
The once calm water suddenly began to spin wildly.
A huge vortex is forming beneath the coffin.
The nine iron chains that bound the coffin were now taut and snapped with a sickening crack.
They are not holding the coffin back.
They were being pulled down by the things below!
"roar--!!!"
Not far away.
The Black and White Demons, who had already submitted, now looked as if they had seen a ghost.
They didn't even heed Jiang Han's orders, letting out a mournful cry, and tucked their tails between their legs as they rushed towards the surface of the water.
That fear was ingrained in their very bones.
It's like a mouse seeing a cat.
The grandson has met his ancestors!
"Trying to run away?"
Jiang Han gripped the edge of the coffin tightly, managing to steady himself amidst the violent vortex.
He looked down into the abyss.
At the center of that dark vortex.
Two enormous "red lanterns" slowly lit up.
No.
That's not a lantern.
Those are... eyes!
Two vertical pupils, each over five meters in diameter, burning with dark golden flames!
I only made eye contact with those eyes for a second.
Jiang Han felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if his soul was being sucked in.
[WARNING! WARNING! SSS-class ancient creature awakened!]
[Target codename: Kunlun Ancestral Dragon (Corpse Mutant)!]
[Danger Level: Cataclysmic!]
[Host recommendation: Escape immediately! Escape immediately!]
The system's red alert pop-up windows were flashing incessantly, almost completely obscuring Jiang Han's view.
The First Emperor?!
Jiang Han's heart was filled with turmoil.
Do dragons really exist in this world?!
Whoosh—!
Beneath the abyss, the colossal creature stirred.
A gigantic maw, large enough to swallow a truck, slowly opened.
The dragon skin, along with the enormous bronze coffin, looked like a small cookie in front of it.
It was awakened by the smell of blood on the dragon skin!
It's here to eat!
"Damn it!"
Jiang Han cursed under his breath.
If he were in his prime, perhaps he would have dared to touch this thing.
But now, he is underwater, and he is ill.
To fight head-on would be suicide!
But run?
Where are you going?
The vortex's suction force was terrifyingly strong, capable of tearing apart even a submarine, let alone a human body.
The gaping maw of the abyss was getting closer and closer.
A hint of madness flashed in Jiang Han's eyes.
"Since we can't escape..."
"Then I'll add some ingredients for you!"
Jiang Han abruptly released his grip.
Using the suction force of the vortex, instead of retreating, the body moved forward and actually rushed towards that giant mouth!
"Is he insane?!"
In the command center, everyone was stunned.
Was this a suicide attack?!
Jiang Han is definitely not crazy.
During his sprint, he suddenly reached into his pocket with his left hand and pulled out the thing he had been reluctant to use.
[The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Qilin is Extinct!]
This thing is a sacred object for warding off evil spirits, but it is also a highly poisonous substance!
To a zombie-like creature, this is concentrated sulfuric acid!
"Our ancestor, right?"
"You have a good appetite, don't you?"
"Eat as much as you want!"
When Jiang Han was less than ten meters away from the giant mouth, he suddenly crushed the Qilin Blood in his hand!
The dark red powder exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist that rushed directly into the giant mouth along with the water flow!
at the same time.
Jiang Han thrust his black gold ancient sword into the rock wall beside him with his right hand, and with a swing, he clung to the cliff face like a gecko.
next second.
The blood mist from the Qilin's Blood was swallowed whole by the giant beast.
Dead silence.
one second.
two seconds.
boom--!!!
A deafening, muffled thud came from the giant beast's abdomen.
That was an explosion caused by the violent collision of the yang energy of the Qilin blood and the yin energy of a ten-thousand-year-old corpse!
"hold head high--!!!"
A dragon's roar of extreme pain shattered all the rocks within a hundred meters in an instant.
The entire underground lake seemed to be boiling.
The enormous creature writhed wildly, its massive tail lashing against the rock face, triggering a small earthquake.
It no longer cared about eating the ginger and citrus.
The burning pain of its internal organs made it want to vent!
Take advantage of this break.
Jiang Han used both hands and feet, rushing madly towards the well opening like a black lightning bolt.
"Pull me up! Quickly!"
He yelled into his headset.
He didn't actually need to shout.
The winch above had already started spinning wildly the instant the explosion occurred.
The safety rope tied around his waist (a spare rope that Li Zhenhua had forced people to tie on, though he didn't use it) became his lifeline at that moment.
Whoosh-!
Jiang Han was pulled rapidly toward the well opening as if he were flying.
And at his feet.
The enraged ancestral dragon was chasing after him relentlessly, its mouth agape!
That terrifying, fishy wind had almost licked the soles of Jiang Han's feet!
close!
The light from the wellhead is right in front of us!
"Detonate!"
Jiang Han shouted into his headset.
Without any hesitation, Li Zhenhua pressed the red detonation button hard.
This is a last resort.
If things get out of control, blow up the wellhead and seal off the passage!
Rumble—!
Just as Jiang Han rushed out of the well...
A violent explosion came from the passage behind us.
Countless boulders collapsed, blocking the entrance to hell.
That dragon's roar, filled with resentment and anger, was completely buried under thousands of tons of rocks.
boom!
Jiang Han crashed heavily onto the steel plate of the drilling platform.
He was panting heavily.
Soaked to the bone, he was a complete mess.
But in his hand, he was clutching something tightly.
That was a piece he tore off from the dragon skin at the last moment...
Reverse scale!
