Chapter 452: Chapter 307 Hunting the Flood Dragon_2

“Ink Gall Seaweed, this is the favorite food of the Nine-Section Ice Shrimp, and the Nine-Section Ice Shrimp happens to be the favorite food of the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon. It makes sense for the dragon to build its lair here,” Zhao Sheng observed, scanning the dark green seaweed around the island, deep in thought.

“Taoist friends, I have a proposal. If you are willing to lend a hand, I am willing to offer a Dragon Tiger Golden Pill as a gift. What do you think?” Zhao Sheng said with a meaningful smile.

“As long as we do not have to confront the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon directly, we do have some methods to trap it,” Zhe Yan responded, probing.

“Haha, naturally, you do not need to face the enemy head-on; just assist me from the side, and step in to prevent the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon from escaping when necessary,” Zhao Sheng laughed heartily.

Seeing that they could gain an extra Dragon Tiger Golden Pill without much effort, Zhe Yan and Jin Jing naturally agreed, exchanging glances and nodding in consent.

“Then I appreciate your cooperation. After this matter is concluded, I will certainly not let you down. This is the reward’s treasure, to show my sincerity, I am giving it to you now,” Zhao Sheng said, tossing a creamy white bead that fell into Zhe Yan’s hand.

The creamy white bead was a Space Storage Seal containing more than twenty bottles of Third-rank Treasure Pills for aiding cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Zhe Yan’s expression was one of great joy.

In the following time, the three immediately concealed their presence and quietly hid themselves, releasing their Divine Sense and quietly began their vigil.

For two consecutive days, the surrounding sea remained calm without any unusual disturbances.

During this time, Zhao Sheng continuously observed the surroundings with full concentration. He noticed that the initially sparse dark-green Ink Gall Seaweed grew extraordinarily fast; in just a few days, it had become very thick, covering everything in sight.

On the sixth day, groups of crystal-clear shrimps resembling crystals suddenly appeared among the seaweed, each of them over a meter long, their bodies emitting a faint chill.

As these Nine-Section Ice Shrimps swam by, the seaweed was entirely devoured, and the sea’s surface froze into a thick layer of solid ice.

On the ninth day, the sea within a hundred miles had turned into a large block of ice, the seaweed under the ice rapidly decreased, while the ice shrimps moved in swarms, becoming denser like clouds,

That day, a low roar suddenly came from beneath the ice. The ice then burst open explosively, and a giant dark black Dragon Serpent leapt into the sky. With a swing of its tail, the nearby ice instantly froze, and bits of ice fell from the air like snowflakes.

Immediately afterward, the giant beast opened its mouth, and a terrifying suction swept across all sides. In the blink of an eye, it sucked in all the Nine-Section Ice Shrimps within a hundred meters below it.

Then, its nearly hundred-meter-long body made a lightning-fast turn and quickly merged back into the ice. With cracking sounds, mountains of ice rapidly grew from the ice surface and soared high.

Although the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon appeared and disappeared within just two breaths, like a fleeting ephemeral blossom, the celestial phenomena it caused were clearly seen by Zhao Sheng and the others.

“Indeed, it is the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon,” Zhao Sheng said with a delighted expression, murmuring to himself.

“You two support me from above while I go capture the dragon.”

Having said this, Zhao Sheng’s figure faded and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared from the Divine Sense of the two.

Seeing this, Zhe Yan and his companion were secretly shocked.

…

A short time later,

Zhao Sheng dived into the deep sea, finding a highly suspicious giant crack in a trench, about eight hundred meters long, its edges crusted with thick ice glaciers, and an extremely cold aura faintly wafting from inside.

After observing for a moment, a flash of delight briefly crossed Zhao Sheng’s eyes. He then concealed his aura and carefully dived in.

Along the way, he saw multicolored ice crystals and columns, and as he went deeper, the chill in the cavern became even more astonishing, eventually forming a complete ice cave.

Zhao Sheng flashed with a burst of light all over his body and quietly melted the ice in front, silently moving forward.

Moments later, the space suddenly cleared, and Zhao Sheng found himself in an extremely cold cave.

In the depths of the cave, the hundred-meter Cold Desolate Flood Dragon was lying on a colorless, crystal-clear “Crystal” platform, resting.

From the pressure emitted by its body, it was truly a Dragon Serpent Beast from the Golden Core Realm.

Upon seeing this, a sharp glint flashed in Zhao Sheng’s eyes, and he suddenly clenched his hand into a sword formula and pointed forward abruptly.

A wisp of golden flame, swift as lightning, shot toward the head of the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon.

But at that moment, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon’s eyes suddenly moved, and its massive body fiercely turned, looking uncertainly towards a nearby cave entrance.

Just as it happened slowly, a stream of golden light flashed, striking the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon with unimaginable speed,

Before the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon could see clearly, a bright golden light exploded before its eyes, and an incredibly intense burning pain surged from its head instantly.

The very next instant, Zhao Sheng’s figure ghostly emerged, swinging a punch single-handed, a mound-sized burst of golden flame instantly bombarded the head of the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon, and streaks of golden light burst forth below the jaws of the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon.

“Aow…”

Accompanied by a lofty and painful howl, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon swung its huge tail, and a large swath of bright, crystalline, super-sized ice cones swiftly formed, attacking Zhao Sheng’s location overwhelmingly, blocking all his paths of retreat.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng did not advance but retreated, swimming forward as he flicked his sleeve, and six black fog Flood Dragons burst out, immediately exploding, engulfing all the deep blue ice cones with a large swath of black light in an instant.

With a dull noise emanating from the dark Light Ball, after a moment, all went silent.

Seeing Zhao Sheng continuing to approach, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon spat out a mass of substance like foam, turning the sea water within hundreds of meters white, appearing extremely viscous.

At the same time, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon’s huge tail whipped repeatedly, disregarding the copious amounts of blood spraying from its body, after a painful cry, it swiftly swam in another direction with speed that even surprised Zhao Sheng.

Seeing the white foam surging over him, a burst of black light wrapped around Zhao Sheng’s body and he flew escape toward the direction the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon was fleeing to.

The moment the foam-like white bubbles contacted the black light around Zhao Sheng’s body, they reacted like they were stimulated, turning into a cloud of white fog, utterly failing to hinder Zhao Sheng’s escape.

But just as Zhao Sheng emerged from the white foam, a bizarre scene occurred.

No matter how he released his Divine Sense to probe, he could find no trace of the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon, not even its hundred-meter-long body in the distant sea.

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes, and within the sea ahead, a faint trace of blood was rapidly dissipating.

Immediately, Zhao Sheng’s entire body flashed with black light as he changed direction to head there.

In just a few breaths’ time, Zhao Sheng arrived where the blood had disappeared, but other than strands of blood, there was nothing to be discovered.

At the same time, dozens of miles away, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon was covered by a layer of soft blue light, blending with the surrounding sea water as if it became an ethereal form, and the originally sizable wound on its body was visibly healing.

This innate and concealed Divine Skill had allowed it to escape from deadly situations several times in the face of powerful enemies.

The Cold Desolate Flood Dragon, still with lingering fear, glanced back and saw Zhao Sheng had been distanced, thinking that reaching the deep sea to shake off the enemy was just a matter of time.

But at that moment, with a loud “boom”, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon felt a flash of blue light before its eyes, and its massive body seemed to crash against a solid wall.

The huge impact whipped up a monstrous wave, instantly dazing the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon, leaving it without any ability to react.

Just as it turned to look at the scene before it, it immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

Only to see, where previously there was nothing in the water, countless Crystal Silks interwove together, emitting a very faint blue light, like a barrier extending from the seabed to the surface of the sea, clearly a Trap Array laid out by Dao Xiaodao.

At a distance, Zhao Sheng, upon seeing this scene, immediately showed a hint of joy, his whole body radiated black light, and in an instant, he flew toward where the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon was.

Perhaps dazed by the sudden appearance of the barrier, the Cold Desolate Flood Dragon stood frozen in place for a long while until it sensed a hint of danger and then looked behind it.
