"You didn't see wrong?"
In the North Sea defense zone, the weather Fengyun. The clear sky suddenly turned into a storm with rolling dark clouds, which made Xu Hu a little worried. After all, if the storm was too big, it might affect the Blazing Yang Grand Formation.
But what worries me even more is the report my subordinate just gave me.
There was a dragon soaring in the sky just now!
"My lord, I'm not entirely sure either. Just now, the warrior from the realm said there was a flying snake darting through the sky, which startled us all. But when we went to look, we found that what was flying in the sky was much smaller than a snake. But upon closer inspection, it wasn't a snake at all! It looked exactly like the dragon that storytellers described, and..."
"And what?"
"Sir, please come this way!"
Xu Hu frowned. He had only recently returned when he heard about the Flying Dragon. Now, the soldiers seemed intent on leading him to the location of the formation. His heart skipped a beat. Had something gone wrong with the Blazing Yang Grand Formation?
We don't have a good solution for those giant burrowing snakes. If these monsters rush into Jiangnan, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although Jiangnan is not as powerless as the North, it will probably suffer a devastating blow!
After all, these things can directly attack the rear from underground, making them impossible to defend against. At this stage, even the smart people in the Shen Family can't come up with a solution.
Once this Blazing Yang Grand Formation is gone, and our lord has not yet returned, I fear...
Thinking of this, even a warlike person like Xu Hu felt extremely heavy-hearted, and his pace quickened. He couldn't wait for the fighter to lead him over, so he leaped and bounded across tens of thousands of feet in a few bounds, arriving in front of the North Sea.
"Lord Battle God!"
The soldiers who were deploying in front saw Xu Hu descend from the sky and all turned to salute.
"This is."
Xu Hu, who always valued returning gifts, was too preoccupied to do so at this moment, as all his attention was completely drawn to the scene before him!
It was a massive ice tunnel stretching across the sea, so magnificent that words could hardly describe it. It stretched straight northwards, with no end in sight!
"Reporting to you, sir, it's that dragon!" the warrior beside him hurriedly said. "Half an hour ago, after that Flying Dragon soared through the sky, dark clouds rolled in, and the clear sky disappeared. Then it swooped down onto the sea, freezing countless giant snakes. And there's this ice path. Snake Queen, the Flying Dragon headed north, and this ice path is what it left behind as it swam by!"
"Heading north?" Xu Hu was startled and looked north, a bold idea popping into his mind.
The frozen giant serpent is most likely not on the serpent's side, and judging from the enemy's abilities described by the soldiers, it shouldn't be a drill. After all, the Blazing Yang Grand Formation probably couldn't withstand that kind of ability!
Heading north
Where did that dragon come from?
"It should be over there," several warriors quickly pointed in a direction. Xu Hu looked over, took a breath, and sure enough, it was the direction of the Dragon Palace.
Has the giant dragon from the Dragon Palace been born?
Why did they head north immediately?
Was it to kill snakes?
Why?
"Sir, there's more news."
"Speak!" Xu Hu, who was still puzzled, pressed him for an answer.
"Accompanying that dragon were several people and a strange creature, all of whom are frozen in place!"
"Oh?" Xu Hu's eyes lit up. "Take me to see!"
The men quickly led Xu Hu Xu Hu to a ship, where he soon saw the people the soldiers had mentioned. They were several thick ice sculptures, each containing several frozen people, as well as a monster about three zhang tall and completely black.
Xu Hu felt a chill run down his spine. Although the black monster was frozen, it still posed a significant threat. Xu Hu immediately realized that he couldn't release it, or he would be killed instantly!
But he was even more surprised by the people around him, because he recognized them all!
The man next to the Yaksha is the renowned Xiang Family patriarch, Xiang Tianyu. When I served in the military, I was initially assigned to the Northern Xiang Family Army, so I was naturally familiar with Xiang Tianyu's reputation. He was a genius who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuchi Peng, and the patriarch of the Xiang Family, a family with a thousand-year-old bloodline.
The dragon froze this monster; it must be from the Dragon Palace. Why would it freeze a human?
What does it mean exactly?
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Xu Hu dared not delay and immediately ordered, "Go, invite all the Underworld here!"
"Yes!"
--
"That really does happen."
When Master Shen San and the others arrived, they all looked at the frozen Xiang Tianyu with curiosity. Among the frozen objects, the most eerie was the huge, dragon-like shadow!
That thing resembled a dragon but wasn't quite one. It had a peculiar shape, with a head like a cow, horns like a deer, eyes like a shrimp, ears like an elephant, a neck like a snake, a belly like a snake, scales like a fish, and claws like a phoenix. However, it also had a centipede-like body with a thousand legs, quite different from the dragons of legend, making it look rather eerie.
The most chilling thing is that on the dragon's body, there is a person who has been merged into one. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be Wang Shijie, the second son of the Duke of Wei, who is most favored by him!
"How did Wang Shijie become like this?" Shen Shiyi asked in confusion.
" Dragon Transformation?" Shen Er frowned, but then shook his head. "That shouldn't be the case. Could it be the appearance of a failed Dragon Transformation, or is this what it looks like after Dragon Transformation?"
As they were talking, the Yaksha next to them suddenly twitched its eyes!
The group looked over warily. This black monster was no ordinary creature. Once it broke through the ice, none of them would be a match for it. They were all wondering if they should summon a formation master to create a seal or something.
"Can we communicate?" Xu Hu asked.
He knew that top warlocks all had the means to communicate with people telepathically.
"There aren't any sorcerers among these frozen people. We can send our voices in, but these martial artists can't send their voices out," Shen Laosan said, frowning.
Just then, the frozen Xiang Tianyu blinked hard.
Several people immediately looked over. Shen Laosan and the others exchanged glances, then said, "General Xiang, can you hear us? If you can, please blink twice."
Xiang Tianyu blinked twice quickly!
I can hear you!
The group breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least they could communicate.
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Laosan suddenly noticed that the Yaksha in the distance was blinking even more violently, and the second son of the Duke of Wei also seemed to be blinking.
A sense of doubt immediately arose in my mind.
"General Xiang," Xu Hu hurriedly asked, "Is that dragon from the Dragon Palace or a human Dragon Transformation? If it's Dragon Transformation, blink twice; if it's from the Dragon Palace, blink once; if neither, don't blink."
Xiang Tianyu blinked twice quickly.
"Just as I expected!" Xu Hu stood up excitedly. The dragon had targeted these giant snakes as soon as it appeared, and it was heading north. Most importantly, it was heading along this icy path!
This ice path perfectly solves the boat problem; if handled properly, it can bring all the people from the north over.
"Is that dragon the Duke of Wei?" Shen Er asked directly.
Xiang Tianyu blinked twice quickly.
"Why did the Duke of Wei freeze you?" Shen Lao'er frowned.
Xiang Tianyu remained silent, his eyes wide, clearly unsure how to respond.
"But is it because some monster has infiltrated your group?" Shen Lao'er immediately guessed the reason.
The Duke of Wei's entourage was quite large, with nearly thirty people entering together, but only three people, a strangely shaped dragon, and a terrifying demon emerged. Clearly, something enormous had happened. Although the Duke of Wei successfully transformed into a dragon, what occurred during that time was likely far from simple!
Xiang Tianyu blinked.
"Then why not just kill the monster and bring it up frozen?" Shen Shiyi looked at the ice sculptures with doubt. The monster did look powerful, but if the Duke of Wei could capture it alive, couldn't he kill it?
Why did we bring it up?
"Let me guess," Master Shen San sneered. "Most of the people who went with you have already perished, haven't they?"
Xiang Tianyu blinked!
"It wasn't this black monster that killed them, but something else entirely, something that's among you!"
This time, Xiang Tianyu didn't blink, but looked directly at Wang Shijie, who had already merged with the Thousand-Footed Dragon.
"Is that so?" Xu Hu squinted. "The Second Young Master was possessed by an evil spirit and took control of this dragon, launching a massacre against you?"
Xiang Tianyu blinked repeatedly!
"How can we rescue him?" Xu Hu frowned.
"This freezing power is extraordinary; I'm afraid we'll have to rely on the Golden Crow Flame our lord has preserved!" Shen Lao'er whispered.
Xu Hu immediately realized that he knew about this as well. Every once in a while, the master would bring the finest jade to Great Azure Mountain to coax the little guy to release the Golden Crow Flame and store it inside, which would then be used for experiments at the Liuzhou Academy.
However, this flame is extremely dangerous. If one is not careful, the resulting fire may be impossible to extinguish. Therefore, only Chen Ying and a few top-performing students from the Heaven Academy and Earth Academy are researching this thing.
"To deal with this complex situation, the warlock team specifically brought several of those jade stones. Combined with Shiyi's Divine Fire Spell, there's a chance they can melt the ice."
"Okay, I'll go get it right away!" Xu Hu nodded and immediately ran outside.
He was very anxious at this moment. If the giant dragon really was the Duke of Wei, then the north might be saved. He needed to quickly gather intelligence and see if he could send troops to rescue them.
None of them objected, since it was indeed necessary to understand the situation below the Dragon Palace as soon as possible.
But Shen San frowned slightly.
He glanced at Xiang Tianyu, then looked at the other side.
From the moment the group started to release Xiang Tianyu, the black-clad monsters and Wang Shijie, who had also become a monster, kept blinking!
Is it really as Xiang Tianyu said?
