Chapter 342: Nine Calamity Sword, Third Segment!
“Could it be... the core of this creature? But... aren’t the cores of spirit beasts usually found in their heads? Why is this one in its belly?” Chu Yang pondered, when suddenly the world around him spun violently, and his body shook fiercely as the Poison Dragon Serpent began to roll and gallop desperately…
The Poison Dragon Serpent had no idea that swallowing a creature it had never seen before would lead to continuous explosions inside its belly.
This series of explosions nearly blew all its flesh and blood to shreds! Yet, under such a fatal injury, it surprisingly did not die immediately. It frantically rolled and dashed at the bottom of the water!
In the blink of an eye, it spiraled around the bottom of the water several times, turning the underwater world into utter chaos.
Then, its fifty-foot-long body shot up as if a dragon was soaring into the sky!
As it desperately fought for its life, blood and chunks of flesh flowed from its mouth... its once pearl-like eyes became dim and filled with despair… But after ascending just two hundred feet, it suddenly lost its life!
Its immense body unexpectedly came to a halt just before breaking the water’s surface, eyes wide open, and sank down deeply.
However, the massive force and the water currents it created continued to surge upward…
Yin Wutian fumed silently for half the night.
First, he listened as that lord on the sovereign throne howled like a ghost for a long time, and then fell silent.
Yin Wutian initially thought he could vent his anger on this boy, believing he wouldn’t find Nine-Section Lotus Root at such a late hour. Was that a joke?
No one was there to help, and there was nothing anyone could do!
He could only watch as the boy soaked in the water all night, turning into a white-skinned chicken.
However, since the last time he heard a cry, there wasn’t a single sound, and the water’s surface became eerily calm. Yin Wutian felt somewhat uneasy in his heart…
Breathing underwater was impossible; even with Yin Wutian’s throne cultivation level, if he dove deep, he probably wouldn’t last half an hour! This was not a matter of skill level; as a human, one needed to breathe.
But this lord had already been underwater for an hour!
Yin Wutian panicked.
Damn it! This braggart wouldn’t drown down there, would he?
Although drowning a throne in such calm water was an enormous joke and absolutely impossible! But now Yin Wutian couldn’t help but think so.
An hour without resurfacing, aside from turning into fish, a living person simply could not do it.
So, Yin Wutian quickly moved his feet: the Fifth Minister had sternly instructed to properly host and protect this lord. This was related to the relationship with the bamboo of the Middle Three Heavens!
He might not like the boy and could afford to ignore him for a while, but if he let him die… who knew what serious consequences that would lead to?
Thus, after waiting a while longer without any sound, he grew anxious and called everyone to the lakeside to search.
But after searching all over, almost checking every patch of water grass, they still found nothing.
Now Yin Wutian was at a loss. With so many people waiting by the shore, not a single one had seen this lord resurface. But… how could a living person jump into a lake and just disappear?
Yin Wutian was nearly in tears, cursing under his breath! In a flurry, he arranged several boats, and everyone climbed aboard to search the water’s surface. He issued an order: Pay attention! If there are floating corpses on the lake’s surface, they must be pulled up to take a look…
In Yin Siye’s mind, this lord had undoubtedly drowned, turned into a water ghost…
Just then, someone suddenly shouted, “Lord, there’s movement in the center of the lake!”
Without needing to be told, Yin Wutian saw it as well because the commotion was quite substantial. The calm water surface suddenly began to churn violently. Bursting forth, a large portion of the water level shot up like a massive fountain, nearly a yard above the surrounding water!
