Chapter 51 Water Dragon
Amidst the huge waves, a giant dragon hundreds of meters long emerged from the water.
Liu Yun was the closest to the giant dragon. When the dragon flew out of the water, he was thrown directly to the shore and fell asleep instantly. He didn't know whether he was knocked down or frightened.
When Lin Guihe noticed the giant dragon, he hurriedly held Zhu Zhen and swam to the edge carefully, trying to stay as far away from the giant dragon as possible, so they would be less affected when the giant dragon flew out.
But the sound was too loud, so he subconsciously covered Chu Zhen's ears and forgot about himself.
After ringing in his ears for a while, he recovered. After waiting in the water for a while to make sure that there was no movement in his sleep, Lin Guihe took Zhu Zhen out of the water and landed on the shore, where he saw the whole picture of the giant dragon.
The body, which is more than a hundred meters long, is winding in the air, but it has no flesh and blood. It is just the skeleton of a dragon. The only flesh and blood is probably the pair of emerald-like eyes.
Putting it in an empty skeleton makes people doubt whether the skeleton can really support the eyeball.
It flew in the sky and headed straight for the moon.
The two front paws tore the strange moon in the sky into pieces without any explanation.
At this time, everyone realized that instead of the moon, it was clearly the sun with softness and strength.
In other words, from beginning to end, there was no moon in the sky.
But the sun is also fake. When it is caught and torn by the dragon's claws, it is as if the entire sky is a huge piece of colored paper. The sun is the only hole in the colored paper. The dragon's claws follow the hole and tear open the entire sky.
The sky is pitch black, with countless ever-burning lamps inlaid on the top, occasionally dotted with a few night-light pearls, illuminating the entire tomb.
The illusion was completely broken. There was no so-called ancient city, only a huge tomb, and the imperial city happened to occupy the main tomb.
Seeing Bi Li and the others coming out of the water, the skeletons that had been chasing them just now seemed like they couldn't see them. They all knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly to the dragon.
The high priest slowly walked out of the city, holding a sacrificial scepter in his hand.
He raised the scepter in his hand high, and the skeletons stretched out their right hands one after another, pointing their fingers upward, exactly the same gesture as the dead bones they saw beside the altar.
They were mumbling words, probably some prayers, but they were surprisingly unified.
Bi Li and the others couldn't understand what these words meant, and could only roughly guess that they were prayers, but they didn't know what they were specifically asking for, but they soon found out.
The dragon gave them the answer.
The giant dragon suddenly became manic, and its huge tail swung directly at Lin Guihe and the others.
They quickly got out of the way, but the dragon was too big. Even though they tried their best to dodge, they were still knocked back two steps by the strong wind swept by its tail.
The dragon launched another attack without stopping.
Flames shot out from its mouth. Lin Guihe quickly dipped his peach wood sword into the water in the underground river and threw it into the air. The water droplets stopped in the air. The moment the flames touched the water droplets, a large amount of water sprayed out and condensed into a water curtain, blocking the way.
In front of the four people, the fierce flames were stopped.
Zhu Zhen took the opportunity to release the spiritual Gu, which flew towards the giant dragon. The dragon shook its head and sprayed fire towards the spiritual Gu, and the spiritual Gu was burned instantly.
The giant dragon launched another attack, and several people dodged with difficulty while drawing it back to avoid hurting the unconscious Liu Yun.
Its combat power was far more powerful than several people imagined. In several battles, the dragon was unscathed, but they were more or less injured.
There was a shallow scratch on Zhu Zhen's arm, Lin Guihe was also bruised when he dodged, and Bi Li's injury was even more serious.
Blood stains fell on the ground. When they focused their attention on dealing with the dragon, the high priest quietly collected the blood they spilled on the ground.
The high priest dipped his fingers into some blood and used the blood to draw a talisman in the air. With a wave of his hand, the talisman flew to the nearest skeleton.
The spell penetrated the skeleton's bones, and flesh and blood instantly grew on the skeleton's body.
The high priest used the same method to resurrect the other skeletons one by one.
The resurrected skeletons stood up from the ground, turned to face several people, and attacked them directly.
Now they have to face not only the giant dragon, but also this group of "living" skeletons.
"Bi Li, be careful!" When dodging the dragon, Bi Li fell one step behind. The dragon's tail swung at Bi Li's body. The tail full of sharp bones opened a huge hole in his chest, and a large amount of water poured out.
Blood.
His chest hurt, and he was grabbed by the dragon's claws and pushed into the river.
Except Zhen and Lin Guihe were too far away from him and from the underground river, not to mention there was a giant dragon blocking the way among them, so they really couldn't get through.
While the two of them were worried, Liu Yun woke up at some point.
As soon as he woke up, he happened to see Bi Li being pushed into the river. He didn't care about the situation and jumped directly into the lake.
Zhu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on dealing with the giant dragon in front of him.
At this time, she heard the system's task instructions.
[Congratulations to the host for triggering an important side mission: killing the high priest. Completing the mission will reward you with fifty skill points. ]
Aside from raising eyebrows, this high priest is quite valuable.
After dodging another attack from the giant dragon, Zhu Zhen whispered to Lin Guihe: "The system just issued me a task to kill the high priest."
Lin Guihe said: "My mission is to slay the dragon."
"Then we divide the work and cooperate?" Zhu Zhen asked, but Lin Guihe stopped her, "Kill the dragon first."
The high priest looked very dangerous at first glance. Lin Guihe could not let Zhu Zhen face the high priest alone, and she also carried the identity of a saint, which made it even more dangerous.
Chu Zhen understood what he was worried about, nodded and agreed.
She released the spiritual Gu, but this time it was not directed at the dragon. The spiritual Gu rushed towards the living dead skeletons, blocking most of the enemies not far away.
Although there are still some skeletons that have passed the spiritual Gu, but fortunately there are not many of them. Unless they pick up a stick from the ground and directly violently draw it, they can still cope with it.
Apart from Zhen sharing part of the fighting force, Lin Guihe dedicated himself to dealing with the giant dragon.
He took out a large number of talismans and threw them directly at the giant dragon. The talisman stuck to the dragon's body, flickered for a moment, and then suddenly went out.
