Chapter 9
: Slaying the Corpse Demon at the Bottom of the Water!
This is not a pond at all.
This is clearly a giant underwater morgue!
In the ghastly green night vision footage, the stone coffins were covered with dark green aquatic plants, swaying with the current, resembling countless disheveled dead people.
Each stone coffin was wrapped with a bronze chain as thick as a wrist, the other end of which was deeply embedded in the silt.
Dead silence.
Repressed.
The live stream chat vanished instantly, everyone stunned by this bizarre scene.
Jiang Han hovered above the stone coffin array, his heartbeat eerily steady.
He wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of excitement.
The blood of the Qilin surged in his veins, seemingly yearning for battle.
"System, where is the entrance?"
Directly below, in the center of the stone coffin array, there is a tomb raider's hole.
Jiang Han nodded, pushed off with both legs, and dived downwards like a nimble fish.
Just as he passed by an exceptionally large stone coffin.
A sudden change has occurred!
"Splash—"
The once calm water flow suddenly became turbulent.
A dark shadow, as fast as lightning, suddenly darted out from the crack at the bottom of the stone coffin!
It was a strange fish as thick as a bucket!
Its entire body is covered in black scales, it has no eyes, and its head is a huge sucker-shaped mouth, which is filled with countless barbed teeth.
Black-scaled corpse eel!
These are Styx Guardians who grow up feeding on carrion!
Watch out on your right!
Holy crap! What is that...?
Before the barrage of comments could finish, that gaping maw was already biting down on Jiang Han's neck.
The resistance underwater is immense, making normal human movements incredibly slow.
But Jiang Han is no ordinary person.
The moment the corpse eel attacked, he suddenly exerted force in his waist and performed an incredible bridge-like maneuver in the water.
"Whoosh!"
The foul-smelling water slid across his mask.
The corpse eel bit into empty air, its massive body slamming violently into the stone coffin beside it, stirring up a cloud of murky mud and sand.
When its first attack missed, the corpse eel became even more ferocious.
It twisted its slippery body, like a black whip, and lashed at Jiang Han again.
"court death."
A hint of violence flashed in Jiang Han's eyes.
He stopped hiding.
Reach behind your back with your right hand.
"Clang—!!!"
Even underwater, the sound of the Black Gold Ancient Sword being drawn was still crisp and melodious, carrying a chilling aura.
A flash of light.
The jet-black blade traced a perfect arc in the water, as if cutting through the obstruction of the current.
fast.
too fast.
The viewers in the live stream only saw a black afterimage flash by.
next second.
"puff!"
The corpse eel, which was opening its mouth to devour Jiang Han, suddenly froze at its seven-inch mark.
Then, the enormous head slowly slid off.
A thick stream of black blood burst open in the water, like a blooming flower of hell, instantly staining a large area of the water black.
【? ? ? ? ? ? 】
Holy crap! Instant kill?!
[This is underwater! What about water resistance? Didn't Newton care about that?]
That strike... was so cool! Is this the power of the Black Gold Ancient Blade?
[That monster's head was thicker than my waist, yet it was sliced up like tofu?]
The remaining half of the corpse eel's body was still writhing wildly, seemingly trying to escape back into the crevice of the stone coffin.
"You think you can just leave after you've hurt me?"
Jiang Han snorted coldly.
He kicked off with both legs and charged forward like a torpedo.
He kicked the severed body hard!
"Bang!"
The corpse eel's remains were kicked away and slammed heavily against the rock wall, where they remained motionless.
After doing all this, Jiang Han didn't even glance at the corpse.
He sheathed his sword and slipped into the crevice through which the corpse eel had emerged.
This is the entry point guided by the system.
The passage was narrow and oppressive, surrounded by rough rock walls, and occasionally one could touch some slippery bones.
Jiang Han crawled about fifty meters in the darkness, using both his hands and feet.
A faint glow suddenly appeared ahead.
"Splash!"
He suddenly surfaced, gasping for air.
This place is actually a huge underground cavern!
The air was filled with a musty, stale smell, but the oxygen content was still acceptable.
Jiang Han climbed ashore and turned on the powerful searchlight above his head.
The beam of light pierced the darkness, illuminating the scene ahead.
Upon seeing this, even Jiang Han's pupils contracted slightly.
Countless sharp stalactites hung upside down from the ceiling of this enormous cave.
And on each stalactite hangs a shriveled corpse!
They were dressed in ancient costumes, with their hands hanging down like strings of dried bacon, densely covering the entire dome, numbering in the thousands!
And at the deepest part of the cave.
The end of the searchlight beam.
The outline of a colossal creature can be vaguely seen.
It was a huge, white skeleton, coiled in the darkness.
It's too big.
The skull alone is as big as a truck.
Two enormous horns shot into the sky, exuding an aura of domineering majesty.
Nine thick bronze chains were wrapped around the skeleton, locking it firmly to the ground.
Jiang Han slowly approached.
When he saw the complete skeleton, his breath caught in his throat for a moment.
That's not a dinosaur fossil.
Its slender body, five sharp claws, and majestic antlers...
This is... the skeleton of a real dragon!
