Chapter 434 - 431: Dragon Corpse
"Take a closer look; there seems to be something in the tsunami," Gao Fei said in a deep voice.
"Something? What could there be?" Chen San was sweating with anxiety. "My lord, let's move quickly, let's not dawdle anymore."
"Yes, my lord, let's hurry," Liu Qing also became anxious. After all, that was a tsunami; getting hit by it would definitely mean certain death!
"Look closely! There really is something in the tsunami!" Gao Fei looked ahead, his voice shaking a bit: "It looks like... a dragon..."
"A dragon? Impossible!" Chen San shook his head. "Dragons are divine beasts of legend; they simply don't exist in the world of men... Uh... Damn! It really is a dragon! Am I seeing things?!" Chen San rubbed his eyes vigorously, then looked up again: "It's real... I'm not seeing things..."
Liu Qing stared ahead blankly: "This must be an illusion! Yes, an illusion!" While saying this, Liu Qing slapped himself, "I feel pain, this is not an illusion! It's real! Damn! I'm actually seeing a dragon! Dragons really do exist in this world!"
...
Within the roughly thousand-foot-high curtain of water, one could vaguely make out a beast with peculiar features; it had antlers like a deer, a head like an ox, a mouth like a donkey, eyes like shrimp, ears like an elephant, scales like fish, whiskers like a man, a belly like a snake, and feet like a phoenix... just like the dragons of legend.
A dragon was hidden in the water curtain?
It was too incredible!
"Quick, look! There are several people standing on the dragon's head," Gao Fei exclaimed: "Who could possibly have the capability to stand on a dragon's head!"
"There really are people!" Chen San and Liu Qing looked up and indeed saw a few people standing on the dragon's head, but they were too far away to make out their faces.
Gao Fei activated his Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance, his gaze flickering, his vision greatly enhanced: "It's them! It's actually them!"
"Who?" Chen San asked: "My lord, what do you see?"
Liu Qing looked at Gao Fei with a puzzled face.
"Do you remember? A few days ago, we encountered a group of scions from noble families."
"Of course, my lord, you even snatched a Sawtooth Fish King from their hands."
"The people standing on the dragon's head... are them."
"What? That can't be possible? With their strength, how could they stand on a dragon's head? My lord, you must have seen it wrong," Chen San shook his head vigorously, full of disbelief.
Liu Qing also didn't believe it: "Those noble scions are all at the Golden Core Realm Cultivation; they couldn't possibly have the power to subdue a real dragon."
"I wish I were wrong," Gao Fei said with a wry smile: "The key point is, I didn't see it wrong, it's them."
"It's really them?" Chen San blinked: "This is strange! How did they do it? The ability to subdue a real dragon with Golden Core Realm Cultivation is simply a miracle! A miracle among miracles!"
"There's something wrong! There must be a problem here!" Liu Qing said in a grave tone.
"Eyes closed?" Gao Fei whispered.
"What do you mean 'eyes closed'?" Chen San and Liu Qing didn't understand.
Gao Fei squinted his eyes, saying word by word, "That dragon... its eyes were closed... and furthermore..." At this point, Gao Fei suddenly stopped.
"And what?" Chen San and Liu Qing pressed for an answer.
"I can't feel a trace of vitality, which means..." Gao Fei's eyelid twitched: "That dragon... is dead..."
"Dead?" Chen San's mouth gaped open, probably wide enough to fit an egg: "Sir, are you sure that dragon is dead?"
Gao Fei shook his head: "I'm not sure... I'm just guessing..."
"Boom rumble rumble..."
The tsunami was getting closer, a terrifying pressure loomed overhead, the waters around them churned up and down, and numerous fish and shrimp corpses rolled out from underneath, including a lot of sawtooth fish.
"Let's go! We need to get out of here now! The tsunami will arrive any moment!" Gao Fei, with a big sweep of his hand, gathered up a bunch of fish corpses and flew towards the distance. That guy Gao Fei truly grabbed the opportunity, even remembering to collect the sawtooth fish corpses while fleeing for his life.
Chen San and Liu Qing did likewise, collecting the corpses of the sawtooth fish while they ran for their lives.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Fei and the others had collected tens of thousands of sawtooth fish corpses, filling several storage bags.
Despite being pursued closely by the tsunami and in constant danger of losing their lives, Gao Fei and the others were in high spirits because they had acquired a lot of sawtooth fish corpses, increasing their hopes of claiming the top three spots.
...
Within the water curtain that towered thousands of feet high, a dragon moved up and down. Six people stood on the dragon's head, all descendants from four families. Counting from the left, they were: Qi Baiyu from the Qi Family, Li Xiangdong from the Li Family, Zhang Jinzhu from the Zhang Family, Niu Maode from the Niu Family, Feng Kuang from the Feng Family, and Jin Lifei from the Jin Family. The six of them stood on the dragon's head, their faces pale, sweating profusely, and looking utterly tense.
"Just controlling a dragon corpse is so difficult." Qi Baiyu's voice trembled as he spoke: "If this dragon were still alive, how terrifying would it be?"
"This is a true dragon!" Li Xiangdong exclaimed: "Even if it's dead, we should not desecrate it."
"To retrieve this dragon corpse, we've lost a lot of our people..." Zhang Jinzhu said worriedly: "Once we return, we're bound to face significant trouble."
"When we first came to the Sea of Death to retrieve the dragon corpse, everyone agreed on the terms: those afraid of death shouldn't have come." Niu Maode snorted: "Since we're here, we must be prepared to die." Having said that, Niu Maode added: "If they died, it's because of their bad luck; no one else is to blame."
"That may be so, but in reality..." Jin Lifei sighed: "The ones who are dead were outstanding members of the great families, highly valued by the clans. Now that they've died, their families certainly won't let things slide so easily, this could lead to a serious problem."
"Enough with the whining." Feng Kuang snapped impatiently: "They're already dead, what's the use in talking about it now? Our most pressing task is to take the dragon corpse out and hand it over to our families for disposal! This is a true dragon, every part of its body is a treasure. Though the dragon has been dead for a while, its body is still well preserved, dragon horns, whiskers, skin, tendons, claws... can all be used for refining treasures, and if we're lucky, we might even be able to produce a spiritual treasure. I just don't know if there's a dragon ball inside the dragon corpse. A dragon ball is an unparalleled treasure. If there is one... hehe, we will have made a huge contribution..."
"This dragon corpse caused a tsunami as soon as it emerged from the seabed, a shocking and terrifying event," Qi Baiyu said with a wry smile: "I'm not even sure how long the tsunami will last. Though it won't harm us, the pressure revealed by the tsunami is unbearable... I already feel like I'm being crushed by a ten thousand-pound boulder, it's even becoming difficult to breathe..."
"It should stop soon, I guess..." Zhang Jinzhu said uncertainly.
"Hey! It's that kid!" Li Xiangdong suddenly roared in anger: "Damn it all! I've finally found you!"
"Who did you see!" Qi Baiyu frowned and asked: "Making such a fuss."
"The person who duped me." Li Xiangdong pointed ahead: "The one who tricked the King of the Sawtooth Fish out of my hands... called... Gao Fei, right, that's his name... that guy is right there."
