Chapter 74
Global Disconnection! Nationwide Level 1 Emergency Preparedness!
Bang!
A loud bang.
In the highest command center of Bureau 749, a solid wood conference table was smashed by General Li Zhenhua's punch.
The teacup was shaken and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, splashing scalding tea all over the floor, but no one paid any attention.
Dead silence.
The entire command center was deathly silent.
Only the static on the big screen, constantly flickering, emitted an annoying hissing sound.
"Where's the signal?!"
"say!"
Li Zhenhua's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, as if it had been sanded on sandpaper.
"Reporting...reporting to the General..."
A technician stood up tremblingly, his face as pale as paper.
"The signal source... has disappeared."
"The final telemetry data shows that Consultant Jiang... Consultant Jiang descended to a depth of 85 meters in three seconds."
"And...and..."
"And what?!"
"And according to the last echo from the bio-radar..."
The technician swallowed hard, his voice trembling with tears.
"That enormous biomagnetic field completely enveloped Consultant Jiang."
"That means... he... he might have already been... swallowed."
boom!
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone present in the head.
Professor Gu Changfeng rolled his eyes and slumped into his chair, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
It’s over.
It's all over.
That's a Blackwater Corpse Dragon!
That was a wicked creature that even Liu Bowen dared not kill by force back then, and could only suppress with the Locked Dragon Well!
Although Jiang Han was powerful, he was still just a mortal being. How could he possibly fight such a mythical creature hand-to-hand in the water?
This is no longer a matter of life and death.
This is a certain death sentence!
"You bastard!"
Li Zhenhua suddenly drew the pistol from his waist and slammed it hard on the table.
"I want to see him alive or dead!"
"Pass on my orders!"
"Activate the Level 1 Contingency Plan for 'Titanfall'!"
"Mobilize all available armed helicopters in the Western Theater Command and surround that mountain!"
"If we can't find Jiang Han at all costs..."
He took a deep breath, a resolute ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Then prepare nuclear weapons."
"Smash that well, along with everything beneath it, completely!"
"The heroes of my China must never become the excrement of beasts!"
……
at the same time.
Deep within an underground river.
There is no light, no sound, only endless darkness and icy flowing water.
Jiang Han did not die.
But he was not far from death.
The moment he bit down on the reverse scale, although he successfully intimidated the corpse dragon, the enormous recoil and lack of oxygen caused him to completely lose consciousness.
At this moment, he was like a pendant, limply lying on the dragon's back.
Although his hands were exhausted, his ten fingers, due to the muscle memory of rigor mortis, were still tightly gripping the dragon's mane.
His mouth was like a lock, biting down on that sensitive spot, refusing to let go no matter what.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been swept away by the current long ago.
But Jiang Han is different.
At this moment, his body is undergoing strange changes.
The Qilin tattoo, which was originally just a cover on the body, now seemed to come alive.
Scalding hot!
His body was like a red-hot iron, radiating astonishing heat in the icy underground river.
The river water flowing over his body made a hissing, boiling sound, and produced strings of white bubbles.
This heat was nothing short of torture for the Blackwater Corpse Dragon carrying him.
It felt like it wasn't carrying a person on its back.
It's a volcano!
A volcano that could erupt at any moment and burn it to ashes!
It wanted to get rid of him.
It twisted its body wildly, rampaging through the river.
But whenever it harbors even the slightest evil thought, a powerful pressure emanates from the "dead man" on its back, causing its soul to tremble.
That's the bloodline suppression from those in power!
That's servility etched into its very marrow!
It was as if if it dared to throw this person off, the next second, heavenly lightning would strike, annihilating its soul and spirit!
Uh...
The Corpse Dragon let out a low, aggrieved groan.
It was afraid.
It was truly afraid.
It dared not move around anymore, and even dared not dive into the deep water, for fear of drowning the "ancestor" it was carrying.
It began to carefully control its balance, trying to keep its back above the water.
It was like a black submarine, carrying the unconscious Jiang Han, slowly gliding through the intricate underground waterways.
I don't know how much time passed.
A faint light appeared ahead.
It was a huge underground cavern, with countless glowing fluorite stones embedded in its ceiling, resembling a dazzling starry sky.
In the center of the cave, there is a flat riverbed.
When the Corpse Dragon saw the riverbank, it was as if it had seen a savior.
It swam over, wagging its tail.
Splash...
Its enormous body burst out of the water, creating a splash.
But its movements were incredibly gentle.
It slowly crawled ashore, lay down on the ground, and tried to keep its back close to the ground.
Then, it turned its huge head and gently nudged Jiang Han's body with its horned nose.
thump.
Jiang Han slid off the dragon's back and lay down on the riverbank covered with pebbles.
His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his chest was heaving violently; he was clearly still unconscious.
The Corpse Dragon did not leave.
Looking at the human who had tormented it all the way, the ferocity in its eyes had long since vanished.
Instead, there was a deep sense of awe, and even... a hint of ingratiation.
It extended its scarlet, forked tongue and carefully licked the bloodstains on Jiang Han's face.
That was the Qilin blood that Jiang Han had just spat out.
For it, this was both an invaluable tonic and a deadly poison.
hiss……
The moment the tongue touched the blood, it felt like it had been burned, and it abruptly withdrew its tongue.
But then...
It felt a warm current flow into its body through the tip of its tongue.
The wound, which had been festering from being chained up for years, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was stunned.
A flicker of human-like ecstasy flashed in those enormous red eyes.
Divine Blood!
This is divine blood!
Now, even if you try to drive it away, it won't leave.
It coiled its massive body around Jiang Han, like a black Great Wall, protecting him completely.
Then, it gently placed the enormous dragon head at Jiang Han's feet and closed its eyes.
Like a watchdog, guarding its owner.
