Chapter 93 It collapsed and that was it.
"Master! Zhang Qiling is in danger!"
Before Qi Yu's reminder in his mind had even faded, Yan Huai sensed the tremors deep within the underwater tomb. He charged recklessly, accidentally smashing a coffin in a tomb chamber he passed by to pieces.
The foul-smelling black water poured out, and the drought demon's poisonous mist spread. Yan, who was not careful, looked at the hole exposed at the bottom of the coffin. His mind fell into deep thought, but his body still moved forward honestly.
"Master, that tomb-raiding tunnel was dug by Wu Sansheng twenty-one years ago." Qi Yu watched Yan Huai's reaction intently, hoping he would acknowledge it, but he didn't. Yan Huai completely ignored it (T^T)...
This underwater tomb was already somewhat different from the usual underwater tombs, and now, due to Yan Huai's intervention, it has deviated from the original plot. Who knows what strange things might appear? So, whenever a similar special situation arises, Qi Yu will speak up to remind him.
However... Yan Huai's read but not reply really made it want to cry! Although it was the sin it had created first, and it had to pay back even if it had to burn incense and pray to Buddha, it still needed to have a place where it could be of value!
Qi Yu frowned, his body as white as a dough ball. The system data was running at high speed. It was eager to find a sense of existence in front of Yan Huai, who had regained most of his memories, even if it was just to contribute a little bit.
But Yan Huai has changed completely, inside and out. Although he used to be very shrewd when dealing with the Wang family, he still had human touch. He is nothing like he is now, who can't be reasoned with at all!
And that's exactly the case. Apart from some memories from this world and the original world that haven't been restored, Yan Huai no longer needs any help from Qi Yu. He doesn't even need to do the job of pulling down Qi Yu's pants.
After all, that dark blue robe she wore at her coming-of-age ceremony wasn't for nothing; she had already learned back then how to avoid being completely naked when automatically switching between dragon and human forms...
So, what else can Qi Yu do now? Issue missions? Heh, forget it, issuing missions to Yan Huai on the way to rescue Zhang Qiling would be a death sentence.
Qi Yu slumped down in dejection. The closer Yan Huai got to Zhang Qiling, the stronger the repulsion against the system's energy became. It seemed that the place that originally did not belong to the underwater tomb was the world in the book that corrected the original plot.
Yan Huai was unaware of and did not care about Qi Yu's complex psychological activities. At this moment, he had already followed the bloodline to find the tomb passage that Zhang Qiling had walked through before, and the sparse bloodstains on the bluestone bricks made the atmosphere around him even more oppressive.
“Master, there are two dragon-severing stones in front of us, no more than twenty meters apart. They bear the fortune of the entire underwater tomb. Once they are damaged by external forces, the underwater tomb will collapse.”
Qi Yu was serious and pragmatic, and dared not mention the system or the rules of the world in the book. It could detect that Zhang Qiling's physical functions were declining, let alone Yan Huai, who had the ability to sense bloodlines.
Now, the underwater tomb is definitely doomed, and the plot of the original book is about to develop in a direction that even its father cannot recognize, because Yan Huai's next move alone confirms Qi Yu's prophecy - the huge dragon body gathers strength in the dark and lightless tomb passage, and with the violent collision between the dragon body and the dragon-severing stone, the entire underground palace of the underwater tomb is easily shaken.
The destructive power of the Azure Dragon is worthy of being recorded in history. Qi Yu looked at the thousand-pound Dragon-Slaying Stone that instantly shattered into dust and said that this was just routine operation.
Even someone as composed as Yan Huai, upon breaking through the barrier of the broken dragon stone and seeing Zhang Qiling's current state, almost lost all ability except fear.
The collapse of the underwater tomb, though not instantaneous, was sudden and fierce. A pair of golden vertical pupils, gradually shrouded in black mist, reflected the cascading bluestone bricks falling from above the tomb passage, the skeleton devoid of flesh but inlaid with black sheep heads, and Zhang Qiling, his left abdomen pierced by the skeleton...
"Zhang Qiling!"
......
Yan Huai? Zhang Qiling's half-closed eyes trembled slightly. He wanted to turn his head to check if he was hallucinating, but before he could do so, his eyelids drooped uncontrollably.
"The guardian beast of Ghost Constellation..." Only now did Qi Yu finally realize what was the thing that was repelling the system's energy. Just as it was about to tell Yan Huai to hurry up and take Zhang Qiling away, it discovered that its system signal was being interfered with again.
The last time it experienced such intense interference was when it went to the original world to bring Yan Huai back. An ominous premonition began to permeate Qi Yu's instinctive consciousness, and it urgently warned, "Master... it's a... it's a ghost... Golden Sheep... leave quickly..."
Upon hearing the intermittent system notifications, Yan Huai's mind flashed through some unfamiliar fragments, but he didn't have time to think about them. He raised his dragon tail and repelled Gui Jin Yang, then swept up the weak Zhang Qiling on the ground. His dragon body swept across the collapsed rubble and rushing water, flying away like a streak of light...
The rain on the sea has stopped, and a yacht is moored near a reef more than ten kilometers away.
A man dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, with black glasses perched on his nose, stood on the yacht, his gaze fixed through binoculars on the unusual churning of the sea in the distance. He muttered to himself, "Did that mute guy just dig up someone's grave? How did such a commotion happen?"
Although Black Glasses realized something might be wrong, he still muttered a sarcastic remark. He put away his binoculars, took out his diving gear from his large black bag, and was about to put it on when he noticed movement on the surface of the sea nearby.
Black Glasses' ears twitched slightly, and his hands quickly reached for his lower back. The next second, the muzzles of his two pistols were pointed directly at a large, dark figure leaping out of the seawater.
bang bang-
The bullet was easily dodged by the dark figure. The man in black glasses twitched his lips, his expression turning hostile as he stared at Yan Huai, who had instantly shrunk to human form and drastically changed, on the distant rocks, and at Zhang Qiling, whom Yan Huai was cradling in his arms...
"What's wrong with you two?! Are you sure you won't get shot or what?!"
"Zhang Qiling is injured..." Yan Huai's voice was hoarse and trembling, just like the hands he held Zhang Qiling.
Upon seeing Zhang Qiling covered in blood, Yan Huai's anger and distress turned into panic. He had considered the possibility of encountering even more dangerous situations when descending into the underwater tomb again, but he never imagined it would nearly cost Zhang Qiling his life...
"Come up here quickly!" Seeing Yan Huai's distraught appearance, Black Glasses felt exhausted. He beckoned to Yan Huai and then bent down to rummage through the first-aid kit, without mentioning a word about Yan Huai's true form that he had just seen or his sudden appearance.
Yan Huai tightened his embrace around the person in his arms and jumped onto the yacht. He didn't place Zhang Qiling on the cot on the deck, but carefully pulled her into his arms. He also took out the Restoration Pill from his system space. It was a small pill that shimmered with a faint, luminous white light between his fingers.
It turns out it was meant for Zhang Qiling...
