Chapter 76
Countdown to Foreign Invasion!
Followed by.
Rumble—!
The dull, vibrating sound was like a rusty saw, tearing back and forth inside my brain.
Immediately following was a piercing sound of mechanical drilling.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
Jiang Han suddenly opened his eyes, his body covered in injuries.
excruciating pain.
It felt as if all the bones in my body had been taken apart and then forcibly put back together with violence. With the slightest movement, I could hear cracking sounds coming from inside my body.
"hiss……"
He gasped and tried to sit up.
Thankfully, there's Little Blackie.
The enormous black scales rose and fell slightly with each breath.
His warm breath, like a natural heater, sprayed onto his face.
He was lying in the center of the Blackwater Corpse Dragon's massive, coiled body.
It's like sleeping on a dragon bed made by a mythical creature using its own body as a mattress!
"roar……"
Feeling the person in his arms, Corpse Dragon let out a low whimper.
The dragon head, bigger than a truck cab, came closer and cautiously nuzzled Jiang Han's chest with its nose, its eyes full of worry, just like a big black dog afraid its owner would die.
"Stop rubbing against me...cough cough..."
Jiang Han wanted to laugh, but the sharp pain in his chest made him cough up a mouthful of blood.
"He's not dead yet..."
[Ding! Warning! Host's physical condition is extremely dangerous!]
[Scan report being generated...]
[The aftereffects of overclocking the Qilin bloodline have erupted! 30% of the bones in the body are fractured! All ribs on the left side are broken! Multiple internal bleeding points! Mild concussion!]
[Recommendation: Immediately cease all activities and find a safe place to rest!]
The system's red light flashed wildly on the retina.
Jiang Han glanced at it, a bitter smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Hibernation?
He wanted to too.
But the commotion above his head didn't sound like someone was singing him a lullaby.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
The drilling sound grew closer, and rocks kept falling from the overhead layers, striking the scales of the corpse dragon with a tinkling sound.
The Corpse Dragon was clearly also agitated by the sound.
It raised its head, baring its ferocious fangs at the constantly shaking rock wall above it, and let out a series of thunderous growls.
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes; although his golden pupils were dim, they still shone with a cold light.
Through the cracks in the rock strata, one could faintly hear conversations coming from above.
"Hurry up! Give it your all!"
"Thermal imaging shows the biological responses below are weakening! That dragon may be injured!"
"The boss said, we only need live samples! As for that Chinese guy... if he doesn't cooperate, kill him on the spot!"
"Roger that! Demolition team, prepare! We'll storm in three minutes!"
English.
Standard tactical commands.
And judging from their tone, these people are not some well-meaning international rescue team.
They were a pack of hyenas that came after smelling the scent.
"Oh……"
Jiang Han sneered, a hint of violence flashing in his eyes.
"Taking advantage of my illness to kill me?"
"You want to use me as a sample? You want to contain my dragon?"
"These foreign devils, don't they think too highly of themselves?"
He endured the excruciating pain, reached out and grabbed one of the corpse dragon's whiskers, using it to sit up.
Click.
Another sharp pain shot through his chest, but he didn't even flinch.
Sensing its master's killing intent, the Corpse Dragon immediately stopped its growling. Its scarlet vertical pupils stared intently upwards, and its body arched, assuming a pouncing posture.
"Don't rush, Little Blackie."
Jiang Han patted its taut muscles, his voice hoarse yet carrying a chilling undertone.
"Right now, I can't even lift a knife."
"I need to get my car fixed first."
"Wait a few minutes, in a bit... we'll serve these guests a main dish."
He closed his eyes, and his consciousness instantly sank into his mind.
"system!"
"Open the black market!"
"Don't recommend any painkillers or bandages to me, that kind of garbage."
"I need strong medicine! The strongest possible!"
"Anything that will make me stand up right now, immediately, and instantly kill someone! Even poison will do!"
