Yang Zhen was completely disoriented by the sudden appearance of the ferocious creature, but the problem was that he still hadn't figured out what it was.
How can we do this if we can't even see what the other person looks like?
It was pitch black all around, and this was the first time Yang Zhen felt completely helpless. The feeling of having no way to use his strength made Yang Zhen want to curse.
Having immense strength but being unable to use it is an incredibly frustrating feeling.
However, the impact wasn't all bad; at least the thick layer of ice on Yang Zhen's body was completely shattered.
Despite the excruciating pain, Yang Zhen took a deep breath and released all his Divine Sense power, soon catching sight of a rapidly moving figure.
The Dao Body resembled a fish, but instead of scales, it had a shell that looked as sharp as a knife, giving off a creepy feeling. Its ferocious appearance was terrifying, and it resembled a pangolin, except that its tail was not pointed but a fish tail.
Dragon Fish!
Yang Zhen could only use this name to refer to the creature in front of him; it was the most fitting description in Yang Zhen's limited vocabulary.
This Dragon Fish appears to be only at the Early Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but Yang Zhen dares not be careless in the slightest. In this dark water, the Dragon Fish's power is probably equivalent to Yang Zhen facing Half-Step Great Saint.
This was Yang Zhen's first real life-or-death struggle with Half-Step Great Saint. He hurriedly rummaged through his storage ring and found a nine-star weapon that resembled a dagger.
It wasn't that Yang Zhen didn't want to use the Great Deficiency Sword. This large door panel was fine outside, but once it entered the water, it became very difficult for Yang Zhen to use. The water resistance was too great, making it difficult to maneuver. A small dagger would be much more convenient and easy to use.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to unleash his power, the dark water around the Dragon Fish suddenly began to swirl rapidly, like a whirlpool, carrying terrifying force as it charged towards Yang Zhen once again.
Seeing the Dragon Fish's terrifying speed, Yang Zhen laughed heartily. He opened his mouth but then suddenly remembered that he was in the water, so he quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls and closed his eyes.
"This Sage of Saunter is prepared; do you think you, a mere mudskipper, will succeed against me?"
A terrifying torrent surged forth with a deafening roar, and Yang Zhen's Skyward Cannon suddenly erupted from beneath his feet, the timing as perfect as a top-tier summoner in the Chinese server.
Just as the Dragon Fish rushed to Yang Zhen's side, Yang Zhen's body was just about to move aside when the dagger in his hand slashed towards him.
If the Dragon Fish continues to charge forward, Yang Zhen will definitely be able to give it three cuts and six holes.
Just then, the Dragon Fish suddenly stopped, making Yang Zhen's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
At that speed, even Yang Zhen couldn't stop instantly. This bastard in front of him was playing by his own rules and really deserved a beating.
Yang Zhen's slash missed its mark, and his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly performed a clumsy 360-degree spin to barely avoid the Dragon Fish's attack.
Seeing the Dragon Fish growing faster and faster, its Movement Method becoming increasingly unpredictable, Yang Zhen glared angrily. "Damn it, is this never going to end? Do you really think this Sage of Saunter is easy to bully?"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen suddenly began to spin his hands, and the black water around him spun wildly, instantly forming a terrifying vortex.
You have strength, but unfortunately for you, this Sage of Saunter also has inexhaustible strength.
With this level of exertion, Yang Zhen could go an entire day without taking a breath.
Seeing the Dragon Fish staring blankly at them, as if it didn't know what was going on, Yang Zhen laughed heartily, blowing bubbles all around.
I absolutely cannot drink any more water. I have no idea what this black water is. If I drink too much of it and it freezes my internal organs into solid blocks, that would be terrible.
Yang Zhen paddled rapidly, his body constantly Skyward Cannon upwards, the roaring, violent currents making the Dragon Fish sway unsteadily. "You think you're fast? Show this Sage of Saunter another one!"
Yang Zhen winked at the Dragon Fish with a smug look on his face, sending a provocative signal.
The Dragon Fish's eyes turned completely red.
"Damn, are they serious?"
Yang Zhen glared at him; he wasn't afraid of anything serious!
Just as Yang Zhen was about to speed up, the Dragon Fish suddenly roared, and a terrifying torrent shot out from Dragon Fish mouth toward Yang Zhen. If Yang Zhen hadn't turned fast enough, the fish would have been sent flying everywhere in a chaotic upheaval if it had hit him.
Having been attacked by this thing time and time again, Yang Zhen was filled with rage. With a change of expression, countless Yang Zhen appeared in front of the Dragon Fish.
Countless Yang Zhen stared intently at the Dragon Fish, so real they were hard to distinguish from the real thing, let alone a single fish.
The Dragon Fish, clearly never having seen anything like it, let out a strange cry and turned to run away.
Yang Zhen was not about to let this guy go. Being able to survive in the Black Water meant it was no ordinary creature. Whether he could get anything good depended entirely on it.
The Dragon Fish ran ahead, with countless Yang Zhen chasing relentlessly behind. The Yang Zhen, paddling wildly, looked quite imposing, scaring the Dragon Fish so much that it dared not stop and rushed to the light in the blink of an eye.
Upon arriving at the destination, the Dragon Fish burst out of the dark water with a loud bang, and Yang Zhen, caught off guard, also crashed into it.
Below was a vast underground world, even darker and more gloomy than the one above, filled with musty smells and a hazy green aura. Yang Zhen hurriedly shut down his five senses, leaving only his eyes fixed on the enormous coffin before him.
This coffin was the largest thing Yang Zhen had ever seen, appearing to be dozens of feet in size, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and countless patterns shining brightly.
To Yang Zhen's utter astonishment, the coffin appeared to be a massive bronze coffin.
Bronze again!
On the bronze coffin, countless thick bronze chains fluttered in the air, ending at eight exceptionally ferocious and enormous skeletons.
The skeleton emitted a soft glow, and the terrifying aura emanated from it.
The chain has nine ends, but apart from the eight skeletons, the last bronze chain seems to be broken, and there are no skeletons next to it.
Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin?
Yang Zhen's eyes widened in disbelief.
Back on the Blue Planet, Yang Zhen had heard the legend of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin. Regardless of whether it was true or not, seeing it now was so visually striking that it made Yang Zhen feel a little breathless.
The Dragon Fish, having grown four legs at some point, cautiously approached Yang Zhen and nudged his Yang Zhen with its nose, which could kill someone.
Yang Zhen jumped three feet high, and seeing that the Dragon Fish showed no hostility, asked with a surprised look, "What do you want to do?"
The Dragon Fish made a mooing sound towards the bronze coffin. Yang Zhen couldn't understand it, but he knew it was related to the coffin.
"You want me to open the coffin?"
Yang Zhen asked tentatively, staring intently at the Dragon Fish.
The Dragon Fish's expression changed, and it hurriedly shook its head.
Who knows how Yang Zhen sensed the change in Dragon Fish's expression? Since he had this feeling, he absolutely could not open the coffin.
Even if Yang Zhen opens the coffin, which even the Dragon Fish is somewhat wary of, he definitely won't be able to handle it.
"So what exactly do you mean?"
Yang Zhen asked again, then suddenly his expression turned serious, and his gaze fell on Duan Qing chain around the Dragon Fish's neck.
"You mean... I'm supposed to tie you up?"
Yang Zhen himself found his words somewhat absurd, but the Dragon Fish was clearly with those eight creatures. It was just that he didn't know why all eight of them had died, while it was still alive and well.
What Yang Zhen was curious about was, since the Dragon Fish had already broken free of the bronze chain, why was it necessary to put it back on?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Dragon Fish excitedly jumped around, rubbed against Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, and carried him towards the huge bronze coffin.
That's right, this guy just wants Yang Zhen to tie it up again.
