Chapter 449 - 446 The ups and downs
Drawing lots?
Perhaps this was a good method.
Everyone would draw lots based on luck, whatever they drew was theirs, no regrets allowed.
"What do you say? Do you all agree?" King Zhenbei, Li He, said cheerfully, "If everyone agrees, then let's start drawing lots."
"Alright, let's draw lots." Elder Feng of the Feng Family nodded.
"I agree as well," said the Great Elder of the Li Family, Li Wentian.
"We agree too," others also nodded one after another.
"Very well." King Zhenbei, Li He, had someone fetch paper and pen and wrote down various parts of the dragon corpse in front of everyone, such as dragon horn, dragon whisker, dragon claw, and so on. After writing, he folded the papers and placed them in a sealed box, "Everyone has seen, right? I didn't cheat, soon everyone will draw lots based on luck, whatever you draw is what you get, absolutely no backing out." As he said this, King Zhenbei, Li He, shook the box a few times, "Everyone line up, one by one."
"I'll go first!" Elder Feng of the Feng Family stepped forward.
"Elder Feng, please." King Zhenbei, Li He, placed the box on the table, "Good luck to you."
Feng Wuji blew on his palm before pulling a folded paper from the box, looked at it and said, "Dragon claw? Hm... not bad." Feng Wuji, whose heart had been suspended in tension, finally relaxed, waved the piece of paper in his hand, and shouted loudly, "The dragon claw is mine, no one can snatch it!"
"My turn." The Great Elder of the Li Family, Li Wentian, rushed over eagerly and snatched a piece of paper from the box. "God bless, let me draw something good!" After praying briefly, Li Wentian carefully unfolded the paper, "Eh... Dragon whisker? How did I draw the dragon whisker? That doesn't count! I want to draw again!"
King Zhenbei, Li He, chuckled coldly, "We made it clear just now, whatever you draw, there's no going back, otherwise you're making things difficult for everyone! Is Elder Li trying to renege?"
"Yeah, are you trying to go back on your word?" Feng Wuji shouted loudly.
"Elder Li, I advise you to come back," said Elder Qi Meiying of the Qi Family, "Don't make it difficult for everyone."
"Fine! I accept it!" Li Wentian's face turned ashen as he stepped back.
"It's my turn, right?" Elder Qi Meiying of the Qi Family walked over unhurriedly, extended a hand into the box, fiddled for a moment, and then pinched out a piece of paper, "What might it be?" Qi Meiying unfurled the paper and looked, "Hahaha... Dragon tendon! Just what I wanted! Hahaha..." Qi Meiying returned joyfully.
Li Wentian eyed Qi Meiying enviously and cursed inwardly: Old man really has good luck.
In the following time, everyone took turns drawing lots, some joyful, some gloomy, and others beating their chests in regret...
"The drawing of lots is over!" King Zhenbei, Li He, declared loudly, "Now we'll start allocating..."
"Boom!!!"
A sudden loud noise came from outside, causing the airship to shake violently.
"What happened?" King Zhenbei, Li He's complexion changed as he quickly left the cabin.
The others rushed out as well.
...
The loud noise had been made by the Bronze Coffin, which tried to take the Dragon Corpse and leave the airship. Just as it lifted off, it was encased in a thick barrier. The Bronze Coffin slammed fiercely against the barrier, trying to break it with its powerful force, but... the barrier was too sturdy, completely unbreakable.
The Bronze Coffin grew desperate, exerting all its power to smash violently into the barrier.
Once, twice, thrice...
Under the relentless blows of the Bronze Coffin, cracks began to form on the barrier...
Just then, King Zhenbei, Li He, and others emerged from the cabin.
"The Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse are trying to escape! Stop them!" King Zhenbei, Li He leaped into action.
"Everyone, together!"
A group of Transcendance Tribulation Stage masters charged forward.
...
"Buzz!!!"
The Bronze Coffin pulled the Dragon Corpse along, lashing out towards Feng Wuji and the others. The massive Dragon Corpse was like a whip rolling in mid-air, unleashing a daunting pressure that made hearts tremble. A true dragon was a true dragon indeed, dead or not, it was not something ordinary people could defile.
"Bang!"
Li He, the king in charge of defending the north, was hit by the dragon tail. "Ugh!" he groaned, then clutching his chest, he swiftly retreated. During the retreat, blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth. What a formidable Dragon Corpse, just one move had injured Li He.
"Boom!!"
"Bang bang bang!"
A few more people were struck by the Dragon Corpse, then retreated with pale faces.
"What ferocity!" exclaimed Feng Wuji. "A mere corpse possesses such power, if it were still alive, wouldn't it be even more terrifying."
"Everyone, spread out and attack the Bronze Coffin with your treasures," Elder Li Wentian of the Li Family shouted. "All this chaos comes from that Bronze Coffin; it's the one manipulating the Dragon Corpse to attack us. If we subdue the Bronze Coffin, the Dragon Corpse will be of no concern."
Actually, without Li Wentian's reminder, everyone had already understood.
In the following time, Li Wentian and the others began their assault on the Bronze Coffin. They struck fiercely, swiftly, putting immense pressure on the Bronze Coffin.
...
The Bronze Coffin started to strike back fiercely, facing the onslaught of numerous powerful enemies without dodging. It let the treasures smash its body, focusing all its strength to slam violently into the light screen...
Once, twice, thrice... ten times...
The cracks on the light screen multiplied... and the light grew dimmer...
"Not good!" Li He cried out in alarm, "The formation is about to be broken!"
"Crack!"
As soon as Li He's voice faded, the light screen stretched across the sky above the flying ship shattered into fragments and disappeared into thin air.
"Whoosh!!!"
The Bronze Coffin rose into the sky, pulling the Dragon Corpse into the high altitude.
"Chase! We must not let them escape!" Li He pursued in a fit of frustration.
"Hurry, chase!" The others also followed, shouting urgently as they pursued.
What followed was this scene high in the sky...
A Bronze Coffin pulling along a Dragon Corpse, speeding through the air.
Behind it, a group of Transcendance Tribulation Stage masters desperately chased.
...
Inside the Bronze Coffin.
Gao Fei communicated through mental power, "Senior, if it really comes to it, sink into the water."
"It seems we have no other choice," sighed the old man in the Bronze Coffin. "Let's hope we can escape by relying on the complex terrain of the ocean floor."
"Swoosh!"
The Bronze Coffin, flying at high speed, suddenly turned and flew towards the sea.
"Splash!"
The Bronze Coffin, dragging the Dragon Corpse, entered the water and instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Splash, splash..."
Li He and the others caught up and without hesitation, they jumped into the water, then released their divine sense to search for the whereabouts of the Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse.
Soon, they caught sight of the Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse and hurriedly continued the chase.
