Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 508 Chen Jie: This is what they call the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Ouch...

The dragon truly possessed an indestructible body; once it charged, nothing could stop it. The thick ice layer on the water's surface shattered wildly beneath the dragon's powerful form.

It's even more powerful than the legendary icebreaker.

Click click click^
The dragon charged forward relentlessly, destroying all the ice in its path.

On the Siamese warship, the soldiers stared wide-eyed at the raging dragon charging towards them, crying out, "No, no..."

Fear permeated the entire deck; everyone's eyes were wide open, an unprecedented terror engulfing them all.

King Wuping was also extremely shocked. He stared wide-eyed at the dragon charging towards him. He never expected that the dragon would be so terrifying that even his invincible Ice and Snow Divine Skill could not freeze it.

How could this be? If this is the case, wouldn't I be doomed to die in the mouth of this dragon?

Thinking of this, King Wuping felt his blood run cold. Especially when he saw the dragon's scarlet and cold eyes, like the gaze of death, his blood seemed to freeze. Fear, an unprecedented fear, enveloped King Wuping.

No, that's not it. This is a trap I prepared for the Thirteen Pirates of the South Seas, not a trap for Siam.

My ship is full of the elite troops of Siam. If it were to be sunk by the dragon, it would be a huge loss for the entire country of Siam. No, this cannot be allowed, absolutely not.

King Wuping thought to himself, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at the dragon.

Although he desperately wanted to stop the dragon's actions, he was as weak as an ant in front of it; the dragon's power far exceeded his imagination.

The Imperial Advisor had previously said that this dragon was very powerful, even comparable to a terrestrial immortal, but King Wuping did not believe it. However, after seeing it today, he truly believed it; this dragon was indeed something no ordinary person could contend with.

The thirteen pirate crews appeared formidable, seemingly rampaging across the ocean with no friends, but in reality, they were as weak as toys before this dragon, utterly vulnerable.

Now, facing a dragon charging towards him, King Wuping even considered abandoning ship and fleeing for his life; he no longer had the courage to confront the dragon head-on.

Thinking this, he gripped the large halberd in his hand tightly, his eyes filled with solemnity, when the dragon finally rushed in front of him.

The soldiers on the ship were completely dumbfounded, screaming in terror, "Ah!"

Hearing the soldiers' shouts, King Wu Ping felt heavy-hearted. After all, this ship was full of the elite troops of their Siam. If too many were lost this time, the impact would be enormous.

Besides, he didn't want to die here.

But the dragon wouldn't waste words with him. At this moment, the dragon had already stretched out its claws and teeth, and it seemed that it was ready to attack.

Looking at the terrifying dragon in front of him, King Wuping felt his scalp tingle. The dragon had already arrived in front of the large ship and was about to crush it with its powerful body.

However, just when everyone was in despair, the dragon suddenly stopped moving, and its attacking motion abruptly ceased.

At this moment, the enormous dragon head, suspended in the air, twitched its nose as it looked at the warship in front of it, and whooshed a whoosh.
As if sensing something, the entire movement stopped.

"Stop, stop!"

At this moment, the soldiers saw that the dragon in front of them had stopped. The next moment, everyone held their breath. King Wuping held a large sword in his hand, looked at the dragon in front of him, and his eyes were filled with fear. Large beads of sweat slowly slid down his face.

But he didn't dare wipe it at all; he could only stare at the dragon in front of him with wide eyes.

The dragon remained still, and as the dragon remained motionless, the people on the boat also remained still, maintaining a strange balance for a time.

Finally, when this balance ended, the dragon raised its enormous head and slowly submerged, disappearing before the Siamese warship.

Everyone was shocked to see this. After the initial terror, the soldiers on the ship also came to their senses and stared wide-eyed at the dragon that had disappeared before their eyes.

Soon the soldiers rushed to the edge of the deck, and the next moment they saw the dragon dive into the water and then move away from the Siamese ship, chasing after the other pirate ships and frantically pursuing them.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers on deck immediately began to shout wildly, "Oh, we won! We won!"

"The dragon has escaped! It has escaped!"

Hearing the soldiers' joyful shouts, King Wuping finally showed a relieved expression. He took several steps back before finally regaining his footing, then wiped the cold sweat from his face and said, "That was close."

Yes, it was indeed a close call, but in the end they made the right bet. The records in the official documents were all correct. The dragon was indeed afraid of the Demon-Trapping Stone tied to his ship, which carried the legendary aura of Bodhidharma.

Therefore, that aura instilled fear in the dragon, causing it to distance itself and refrain from attacking.

Snapped!
The soldiers behind him were very observant; they immediately placed a chair behind King Wuping's backside. King Wuping plopped down in the chair and began panting heavily.

woohoo hoo...

He was panting heavily, while the dragon had already moved far away. The next moment, it reappeared in the ocean not far away, where there were two other pirate ships.

At that moment, the enraged dragon rammed its head against him and knocked him over!
Boom, boom!
The two pirate ships were destroyed, meaning that two ships and hundreds of lives were lost.

Meanwhile, the fleeing pirate ships also witnessed this scene. Some pirates were stunned and began to have doubts. Something was wrong. Why didn't the dragon attack the Siamese warships?

why?

At this moment, all the pirates had the same thought in their minds: Why did the dragon, which had attacked the Siamese warships, flee in panic in the end? Is that reasonable?
Is this reasonable?

It's illogical, completely illogical! Among the pirates, there were some clever ones. After thinking about these things, they all looked at everything with serious expressions. Something's not right, something's not right at all!
There must be something wrong here.

Many people have begun to suspect that this may be a grand conspiracy by Siam, and that this grand conspiracy may be aimed at them.

Having figured this out, the pirates were filled with rage, but it was no use. Their anger was of no use at this point, because it was all part of a grand conspiracy against them.

At this point, their only option was to run away, to run as fast as possible.

Then the pirates were seen fleeing frantically, which enraged Jiaolong. He chased after the fleeing pirates and sank any pirate ships he saw, showing them no mercy whatsoever.

Seeing this, all the pirates were filled with despair.

Meanwhile, in the ocean area, there was a very small lifeboat that, although located in the center of the whirlpool, miraculously escaped all of the dragon's attacks.

The dragon didn't even glance at the small lifeboat; otherwise, it would have capsized the boat with just a slight ripple in the water.

But it remained strangely and safely floating on the sea.

Meanwhile, on the ship, Garuno was so frightened that he was speechless, his face filled with fear. The power of the dragon had broken down his mental defenses. If it weren't for Chen Jiu Si on the ship, constantly urging him on, he probably would have stopped rowing long ago.

However, with Chen Jie calmly directing the boat from the boat, Garuno, despite being terrified, obediently rowed the boat.

Zhang Dingbian then looked at Chen Jie and said, "My lord, there's something wrong with that Siamese ship. The dragon had clearly attacked the ship, but it forcibly turned around, as if it had encountered something it hated. This is definitely not normal."

Zhang Dingbian was quick to notice something amiss. Chen Jie laughed and said, "Hehe, Dingbian's eyesight is still so sharp. You're right, this was originally a grand conspiracy by the Kingdom of Siam."

"They knew the power of the dragon and its invincibility, but they found a way to subdue it: using the Demon-Binding Stone left by Bodhidharma. It carries Bodhidharma's aura. The dragon was once beaten by Bodhidharma and is therefore filled with fear. So the dragon will not attack ships carrying the Demon-Binding Stone."

"The Kingdom of Siam took advantage of this, setting up a trap here. All the other pirates were targets of their scheme. They wanted to use the dragon's hand to wipe out all the pirates, thus reducing the military strength of the entire Southeast Asia to a minimum. At that time, Siam would launch a national war, thereby occupying the Southeast Asian countries and completing unification!"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, Zhang Dingbian said, "What a brilliant plan! Using one tiger to devour another. Siam does have some talented people after all."

Garuno, who was listening nearby, exclaimed, "Ah, this is too insidious! How can there be such a cunning devil in this world!"

Hearing his words, Zhang Dingbian said, "Hehe, what is a devil? All's fair in war. Besides, in the eyes of the enemy they are devils, but in the eyes of the Siamese themselves, anyone who can come up with such an idea is simply a national hero, a great person!"

Upon hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, Garuno said, "How can you speak up for the enemy?"

Zhang Dingbian said, "What do you mean by speaking up for the enemy? There is no absolute justice in this world, and war has never been about justice; they only care about who wins!"

Upon hearing Zhang Dingbian's words, Garuno said, "If our country's knights heard you say that, they would definitely challenge you to a duel."

Zhang Dingbian didn't say anything, but Chen Jie said, "Actually, this is also an opportunity we can take advantage of."

"I just noticed that there are two small stones tied to the bottom of this ship. I think they must be the Demon-Binding Stones, which is why the dragon is not attacking us."

"And we'll definitely have to deal with these guys from Siam later on, so I think we should help the unfortunate ones who have fallen into the water."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian looked at Chen Jie and asked, "What should we do?" Chen Jie then replied to Zhang Dingbian, "It's simple, tell them about the Siamese plot, and then!"

At this point, Chen Jie said, "These demon-binding stones are tied to the bottom of the bed. Those who are good at swimming should find a way to cut these demon-binding stones off, so that they can also suffer the consequences of their own actions."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian said, "Hehe, my lord is wise."

As the two were talking, Chen Jie suddenly spoke up, "Wait!"

It turned out that Chen Jie's eyes had just spotted a man in black robes at the stern of a Siamese warship, who was secretly preparing to go into the water.

That's right, this person is the royal advisor who was hiding on the Siamese king's warship.

The Imperial Advisor's purpose in coming here was not some dragon, but the immortal blood that the dragon guarded.

He tricked these pirate warships into coming here not only to use the dragon's hand to destroy them all, but also to use the fleeing warships to lure the dragon away.

This way, we can find the immortal blood that the dragon hid in his cave.

At this time, the dragon was also lured out of its lair, so the imperial advisor decided to go into the water.

At this moment, the Grand Preceptor took off his cumbersome black robe, then took off his upper body clothes, revealing his bare torso, and then plunged into the sea.

A moment later, the water became still. Seeing the Grand Preceptor's reaction, Chen Jie said to Zhang Dingbian, "Dingbian, go and inform the other pirate groups to help them fight for a chance to survive. I'll go down and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian looked at Chen Jie and said, "My lord, be careful. The sea is dangerous, and we don't know what other strange things might lurk in the depths. So please be cautious."

Chen Jie remained calm upon hearing this, and then said, "Don't worry, I am the son of a fisherman, this water can't harm me."

As Chen Jie stretched out his body, a series of cracking sounds could be heard as his joints opened up.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jie took a deep breath, using his inner energy to hold the freshest air in his lungs, which would allow him to stay submerged for an extended period of time.

Chen Jie didn't know how long he could stay underwater, but he estimated that half an hour should be no problem. Of course, the premise was that he had the strength of the Fusion God Realm, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold his breath underwater for half an hour.

At this moment, Chen Jie held his breath and plunged into the sea.

puff~
As Chen Jie plunged into the sea, his body began to stretch out, his movements as agile as a swimming fish.

This is a martial arts manual he read in Mianshui called "The Swimming Technique." It was passed down by a senior who was extremely skilled in water-based martial arts. It is said that the creator of this swimming technique was the three Ruan brothers, one of the 108 heroes of Liangshan Marsh.

The three Ruan brothers are the three naval leaders of the Heavenly Stars in the Water Margin: Ruan Xiao Er, the Standing Tai Sui; Ruan Xiao Wu, the Short-lived Erlang; and Ruan Xiao Qi, the Living Yama.

In particular, Ruan Xiaoqi has outstanding diving skills. It is said that she can stay underwater for a whole day and night, which is truly terrifying.

It is said that this swimming technique was passed down by one of these three people, but no one knows exactly who it was.

However, this swimming technique is not a powerful martial art, but a skill that only teaches how to dive and swim in water, without any form of martial arts instruction.

Therefore, no one took it seriously, and most people just read it casually as ordinary reading material.

However, the book ended up in Chen Jie's hands. Chen Jie did not find any powerful martial arts secrets in the book, but he was impressed by its agility and practicality in the water.

Of course, Chen Jie didn't contact him much, but as a descendant of fishermen, he instinctively knew how to swim.

Furthermore, after Chen Jie entered the Melting God Realm, his memory reached an unprecedented level of power, so he was able to recall many books he had read before.

Chen Jie jumped into the water and recalled the swimming skills in the Swimming Manual. He was still a bit clumsy at first, but after a short while, he completely mastered them. He rolled around in the water just like a real fish.

After a little practice, Chen Jie was able to get the hang of it. He then determined his direction in the water and headed straight for the direction where the Grand Preceptor had dived.

He himself did not know where the immortal blood was, but the Imperial Advisor did.

If I follow the Imperial Advisor closely, I will have the opportunity to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Thinking of Chen Jie, he accelerated his descent, but this sea area was indeed very chaotic. After the dragon stirred it up, the water in the entire area was filled with the smell of blood.

Chen Jie had only swum a few hundred meters when a huge creature suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Chen Jie looked over and saw a large gray shark swimming in the water. It was driven mad by the smell of blood in the water, but it dared not surface to eat the floating corpses.

Because their most terrifying place, the underwater dragon, is above them, they can only roam below.

But who would have thought that, after thinking they wouldn't get a single bite, they would be so kind as to deliver it to their door.

Then they saw Chen Jie. At this moment, the great gray shark was very excited, its eyes wide open, filled with a desire for fresh flesh and blood.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly. Encountering such a large shark in the water was not only unappealing to Chen Jie, but also quite annoying.

Chen Jie examined the shark and was surprised to find that it was a full four or five meters long, definitely a large one.

As Chen Jie was thinking this, he looked in other directions and saw that there were also sharks swimming in other directions. These sharks swam around and looked at Chen Jie with a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.

Chen Jie frowned as he looked at the sharks in front of him. He roughly estimated there were seven or eight of them; they had encountered a school of sharks.

Chen Jie swam around, knowing he couldn't hide. No matter how he tried to dodge, the sharks would follow him. Moreover, sharks were very fast and had extremely sharp teeth. A single shark could have as many as three hundred teeth in its mouth, not just one row, but several rows. These teeth gave it a super strong biting ability, easily tearing fish and mammals to pieces!

No prey can escape its gaping maw. At this moment, the great gray shark in front of him revealed its terrifying teeth, while the surrounding sharks approached. If this shark succeeds, the others will swarm in.

Then tear the prey in front of you to shreds.

This is how terrifying large sharks are; Chen Jie watched as these sharks gradually surrounded him.

However, he wasn't too worried because sharks aren't very intelligent creatures. Compared to the more intelligent orcas or dolphins in the sea, they're just a bunch of brainless idiots.

Chen Jie watched as the sharks gradually surrounded him, and the large shark that blocked his path launched the first attack. It opened its blood-red maw and charged directly at Chen Jie. With its five or six rows of teeth, it flicked its tail fin and accelerated towards Chen Jie.

Hey!
It bit at Chen Jie, who immediately dove underwater and sank. At the same time, Chen Jie suddenly waved his hand and took out a short knife from the storage ring on his hand.

It was Chen Jie's personal short sword, Autumn Cicada.

As Chen Jie drew his Autumn Cicada Blade, a shark suddenly attacked. Chen Jie executed a backflip, tilting his body backward to dodge the giant shark's blow.

At that moment, the shark swam right over Chen Jie's head at great speed. What it didn't notice was that while Chen Jie was dodging on the iron bridge, the knife in his hand had quietly risen up.

The knife was held upright and slashed directly across the giant shark's belly.

With a sizzling sound, the giant shark's belly was sliced ​​open. Chen Jie felt as if the knife had cleaved a piece of cowhide, with a very sharp and jerky feel.

The shark suddenly lunged forward, moving so fast that it didn't even have time to react. By the time it turned around and came back, its belly had been ripped open, and blood stained a large area of ​​seawater. The shark's internal organs fell out and flowed everywhere.

The sudden stench of blood immediately attracted all the sharks nearby. Their eyes lit up instantly, and the next moment they pounced, opening their gaping maws to tear at the large shark whose belly had been ripped open.

Sharks don't have any taboo against cannibalism. In a shark's eyes, there is nothing but food, and anything that bleeds is definitely food that must be devoured.

Sure enough, in no time, the four- or five-meter-long shark was dismembered into pieces by its many kind. This proved that a shark's large mouth can also dismember its own kind.

Watching a great white shark being devoured in a flash, Chen Jie didn't want to get involved in any trouble here, so he continued diving. He had wasted more than a minute earlier, and he didn't know if he could catch up with the National Master who was diving down.

Chen Jie was getting a little anxious.

At this moment, Chen Jie quickly dived down, and only then did he discover that there were three huge mountains standing beneath the sea. The tiny reefs floating on the surface of the sea were actually the peaks of these mountains. Various kinds of moss, green and red, as well as coral, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers lay quietly on the mountains.

Many colorful little fish were swimming in the water, which was truly beautiful. The beauty of the seabed was like two different worlds compared to the bloody scene on the surface.

Chen Jie's eyes were practically glued to the beauty, but he couldn't let himself be captivated by it. He had other things to do; his target was the Siamese royal advisor.

As Chen Jie began searching, he spotted a human swimming forward in the coral reef.

The King's Master of Siam!
