NOVPUBA dragon-headed beast, with a single rhinoceros horn and a body covered in coral, flew out of the sea.
It immediately clamped its jaws onto a black ray eel, which had been inexplicably frozen in place.
And then promptly dragged it into the sea!
Despite being the size of half an island, the ray eel seemed somewhat small beneath this massive jaw.
The ray eel trapped in these giant jaws refused to give up without a struggle, writhing and thrashing wildly.
The sea surface rapidly churned, whipping up tumultuous waves.
The dragon-headed beast rolled with it.
Just a few moments later, a smudge of crimson quickly blossomed in the inky sea...
However, not a single fish dared to approach the vicinity.
The sea surface gradually regained its tranquility.
"Class IV top-grade demonic beast... the Coral Dragon..."
Witnessing this scene, Wang Ba and Qin Lingxiao struggled to calm themselves for a long time.
Although they had encountered some deep-sea demonic beasts in recent days, they had never met the Coral Dragon or even the ray eel head-on.
The scene unfolding before their eyes served as a stark reminder of the terror of the deep sea.
Even the usually haughty Qin Lingxiao turned ashen at the sight, her voice shook as she said:
"Wang Ba, we should hurry back. This place is just… "
Whoom!
Beneath the two of them, a shadow rapidly expanded before a giant mouth burst out of the seawater, aimed directly at them.
Noticing the movement below, Qin Lingxiao’s face instantly drained of color.
She tried to dodge, but under the enormous blood energy pressure of the creature below, she felt as though her mana had become sluggish.
In that instant, she understood why the black ray eel hadn’t managed to escape. Caught in the onslaught of blood energy, escape was impossible!
With the giant maw just inches away, Qin Lingxiao could smell the stench of blood and see the row of bloody serrated teeth...
The world suddenly went dark!
An endless terror seized her!
However, at that moment, a brilliant, golden figure, like a heavenly soldier, leaped down.
"Roar!"
The massive body swelled suddenly, wedging itself between the two rows of saw-like teeth.
Firmly prying open a path of light!
"Move fast!" 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
In the darkness, Wang Ba’s urgent voice resounded.
Qin Lingxiao suddenly felt herself encased in a massive force, flinging her straight out!
The world instantly became bright again!
Qin Lingxiao immediately used all the mana she had left to fly a distance before quickly spinning around to look down.
What distressed her was the sight of Wang Ba and the Wu Monkey King in his giant ape form inside the Coral Dragon’s mouth as it opened wide again.
Qin Lingxiao’s complexion turned pale in an instant!
"Wang Ba!"
"Roar-----"
The Coral Dragon released a roar of anger from its giant mouth, followed by a violent rush of air that sent the distant Qin Lingxiao flying.
At the same time, a giant, blood-red tongue rolled out, instantly coiling around the Wu Monkey King and Wang Ba, who hadn’t had the chance to escape.
The giant mouth swiftly opened and closed!
A series of lights erupted from Wang Ba’s body, some from magic tools, and some from talismans...
Under the immense power of the bloody tongue, these lights ’pop pop pop’ began to dim.
There was no hint of panic on Wang Ba’s face. Seizing the opportunity, he quickly placed his palms on the bloody tongue...
However, the next second, his face turned grim!
"The tongue is wrapped in blood energy!"
Unable to touch the flesh of the Coral Dragon meant he was unable to absorb its Lifespan.
"Wu Monkey King!"
Wang Ba, striving to remain calm, immediately called out.
He had faced grave situations before. At this moment, he was surprisingly steady.
The Wu Monkey King grunted, revealing two additional arms from his back. He grabbed the blood-red tongue in an attempt to wrench it open.
But at that moment, Wang Ba felt a powerful shock in his Spiritual Government.
Instinctively, he managed to stick his head out from the confines of the tongue, just in time to see an incredibly bright light speeding towards the tongue wrapped around his body!
In the distance, Qin Lingxiao watched Wang Ba nervously, her features worn and weak.
When she saw that the light successfully hit the tongue, she involuntarily clenched her soft but strong fists.
"It must succeed! It must succeed!"
This was the final offensive treasure her father had given her, her last trump card – a secret kept even from her aunt.
But when she saw Wang Ba being swallowed, she didn’t hesitate and immediately used it…
The light quickly faded.
It revealed a blood-soaked tongue and Wang Ba, who was still tightly gripped by it.
In that moment, despair was all that remained in Qin Lingxiao’s eyes.
And under her increasingly desperate gaze…
The Coral Dragon, pained, slammed its huge mouth shut and then violently slid back into the sea.
It triggered mammoth waves that soaked Qin Lingxiao.
However, she was completely oblivious, fixedly staring down at the water.
Their experiences over the past few days, the countless occasions on which they had cooperated with each other on the lonely island and at sea, flashed through her mind…
There were no warm moments, nor could one call them happy.
But why was it so unforgettable?
At that moment, she had a premonition and quickly looked down at the sea.
The white-capped sea surface silently carried the coral-studded corpse of the Coral Dragon…
