Chapter 88: Corpse Mountain
In the dark water, Gao Jian leaned against the edge of the mountain to rest his aching limbs.

"It would be too shameful to starve to death here."

"However, I did find a hole. But looking at this thing, it doesn't look like I can get into it." Gao Jian said to himself.

After that, he explored further and found a cave in the center of the mosquito-repellent-coated mountain range.

how to say……

If the entire Mosquito-Repellent Mountain Range is regarded as a snake, this cave looks like the snake's head with its mouth open.

Walking in, it felt like being eaten.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? This is still the Dragon Palace. Could it be that this mountain range is the corpse of a dead dragon? So all the things I came into contact with before were the ghosts of dragons?" Gao Jian said with a wry smile.

Although it may sound a little unreal, if you think about it carefully, there is actually nothing unreal about it.

I followed the traces of the battle.

It was obvious that Zuo Lang and Bai Shanjiang's dragon fought for a long time.

The body of the dragon was indeed like a small mountain range, stretching for miles. When lying on the ground, it was dozens or even hundreds of meters high. It was extremely huge.

The traces left behind completely match the appearance of this underwater mountain range.

Add to that the black fog on the bottom of the sea and the lingering smell of plague.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the dragon from before... was killed here by Zuo Lang, and its corpse turned into this mountain range. Its resentment lingered, grabbing the people around it and attracting them to come here to die.

Although there is little evidence, based on these clues, Gao Jian can be roughly inferred to be like this.

Mainly, they are really similar.

So, if I jump into the dragon's belly now, it would be like seeking my own death.

But if I stay outside, isn't that just courting death?
Gao Jian looked at the black fog nearby and thought it had remained unchanged for hundreds of years. His life gate had not been opened. Even if he was healthy and lived to be a hundred years old, he would definitely not be able to survive in his lifetime.

"Even if it's a way to survive, we can't do it without a plan." Gao Jian shook his head: "We have to plan it carefully."

"The human body has its own little world, and the dragon body obviously has one too. The five internal organs are combined with the five elements. If this is really a dragon's body, I will jump into its belly, find the dragon's five internal organs, and then dig a qi channel to connect the dragon's five elements and stimulate the corpse's last vitality. Maybe I can disperse the plague energy around and open a way for me."

"But, is this dragon body still active?" Gao Jian said, knocking on the mountain with a look of doubt on his face.

Theoretically, the body can still glow and resist these plagues, which should be a sign of activity, but it is petrified, so I don't know what's going on with this little bit of activity...

If it enters the body, it may not come out.

However, Gao Jian thought for a while and shook his head: "After thinking about it, looking ahead and behind, can I come up with a solution standing here? I have looked in other places, and this is the only place left!"

It was really stupid to stand there and hesitate, especially in this situation. Gao Jian did not think that there was only one monitor in Longgong. Now the people from Longgong must be rushing towards him!

With a knife in hand, there is nothing to be afraid of. This dragon has been dead for so long, what else can happen?
When it was alive, wasn't it beaten to death by Zuo Lang? The plague has not dissipated until now!

However, Gao Jian made Zuo Lang suffer a loss, and he walked out of Cangzhou City with a swagger!

Even if this dragon was alive, I would dare to meet him. Now that he is dead, what is there to be afraid of?
Thinking of this, Gao Jian swept away his doubts and walked into the cave decisively!

The cave is very empty, but there is still light, and the inside is also glowing.
The cave is very high, with the lowest part being more than ten meters high. A road leads directly inside, and there are many tiny caves around it. Some are very narrow and appear to be only the size of a fist, while some are even the size of a thumb or even a needle tip.

Even the biggest one needs to lie on its stomach and move the cricket pupa in.

Gao Jian thought that these should be "blood vessels".

A large cave that leads directly to the interior, with numerous small blood vessel holes around it, is its current shape.

As soon as he came in, Gao Jian felt a sense of oppression!

The pressure like a mountain fell on Gao Jian's shoulders with a bang, just like when he faced Sima.

But its strength is far inferior to the divine will of 'Unrivaled'.

This feeling of oppression... is it dragon energy?

It can be confirmed that this is definitely that dragon!

This kind of oppression is not physical, it is just mental oppression and has no effect on the body.

It's just mental oppression. As long as he is not completely defeated, Gao Jian doesn't think he will lose to a dead dragon.

How does this dead dragon compare to the Cangzhou family?
Zuo Lang alone could beat him to death, but the enemy that Gao Jian challenged was the Zuo family and the entire blood sacrifice system behind it.

Compared to this, Gao Jian felt that this dead dragon was nothing special.

With this kind of mental preparation, it seems that even the oppression around me is much lessened.

“Damn it… You’re still scaring me even though you’re dead? Zuo Lang didn’t scare me even when he was alive.” Gao Jian cursed, but he completely ignored him and continued to move forward.

Gao Jian cursed all the way and continued to move forward under the pressure.

He didn't know the body structure of the dragon, but he could try to figure it out.

"These blood vessels are too small. I have to chisel them out bigger." He thought, picked up the rusty knife and started knocking on the wall.

Depending on the difference in the echo, you can know the difference in other things that follow.

You cannot enter small blood vessels, so find a larger blood vessel, preferably a cardiovascular blood vessel, and then go from the blood vessel to the heart.

Knowing the location of the heart, we can locate other internal organs through the five elements.

Then connect the five elements and forcibly awaken the remaining activity of the dragon's corpse!
If it's still active.

"Found it, it's right here." Gao Jian knocked on a cavity, then picked up the rusty knife, used it as a chisel, and started chiseling!
The stones transformed from the corpses of these dragons were extremely hard, and ordinary tools would probably break if touched. But fortunately, the rusty knife was extremely strong. Gao Jian was used to this and just started to chisel.

When two hard things collide, the fragile one loses. Obviously, the dragon corpse lost.

The blade was sharp, but even so, it could leave marks on the stones. Gao Jian used incense and golden body to bless his body and knocked a crack in the right place first.

Then, find a stone to use as a fulcrum.

Insert the rusty knife into the crack and start using the lever principle

Although many things in this world go against common sense, such as water vapor and water cycle, which do not exist, but are replaced by the "circulation of the qi of heaven and earth", and the five elements of yin and yang qi replace the basic particles to form the basic structure of the world, relatively basic things such as the principle of leverage still exist.

To be honest, Gao Jian couldn't even imagine what the world would be like if the principle of leverage didn't work.

But start prying anyway.

The sturdiness of the rusty knife was once again demonstrated. Even when it was used as a crowbar, using its thin blade to pry the solid rock made from the dragon's corpse, it still did not deform.

Could this thing be made using strong interaction as the linking material?

So far, I haven't encountered anything that can change the shape of the rusty knife, and I have never maintained the rusty knife. As long as I don't actively consume the sharpness, the blade will never become blunt. I have been here for so long that I am almost used to the existence of this thing. But when I think about it carefully, although this thing was pulled out from my chest, I seem to have never explored the origin of the rusty knife.

Where did this thing come from?
Gao Jian was thinking about all sorts of things while using a lever to pry the stone.

Soon, in less than two quarters of an hour, he had pried open the huge rocks. Using the principle of leverage, Gao Jian's tremendous force of tens of thousands of pounds could be multiplied. Anyway, there was no need to worry about the rusty knife not being able to withstand the force when used as a lever, as long as the fulcrum could withstand it, it would be fine.

With the help of a little engineering thinking, Gao Jian opened the thick stone wall in just an hour. Inside the stone wall, as expected, was a huge pipe that was large enough for him to walk in with his body hunched over.

Is this the blood vessel?
It's really outrageous that the blood vessels of such a huge body can accommodate a whole person.

Gao Jian connected to the outside world, bent down, and entered it.

After walking for a while, the blood vessels began to branch out, some places became wider, and some places became narrower.

Gao Jian turned around and walked away, heading in the direction where the road was getting wider.

He was going to the cardiovascular system, which was naturally the thickest part of the entire body. In other words, his path would only become wider and not narrower.

As long as your thoughts are clear enough, you won't get lost. This is the importance of intelligence.

Gao Jian changed direction. The road kept widening as it forked. Slowly, he didn't even need to bend down, because the blood vessels here were more than two meters high.

One can imagine how powerful it would be when the dragon's heart pumps blood and the blood flows through blood vessels of this size.

This shows how powerful the dragon's body is.

After turning another corner, the blood vessels expanded again.

fierce! fierce! fierce!
The alarm bells of tortoise divination sounded!

Gao Jian didn't see anything, but he retreated immediately and drew his sword!

With a swish, the rusty knife created a ripple.

Along with the ripples, a huge, strange dragon-like creature emerged from the air.

This thing looks like slime all over, and is bright red all over, like mucus, but it has the shape of a "dragon". It has only one eye, which grows on its forehead, and its mouthparts are full of mucus. Although it is in the shape of a dragon, it looks hideous, and does not have the dignity and ferocity of a dragon at all.

Gao Jian cut open the opponent's body!

But the parts it was cut into immediately merged together, as if it had no feeling at all.

The opponent just appeared out of nowhere, as if jumping out of the water to hunt, but after being blocked by Gao Jian, he fell to the ground and disappeared.

Gao Jian frowned, knowing that the other party had not disappeared.

He realized that this object did not appear out of thin air, but had integrated into the blood vessel wall, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Gao Jian remained on guard.

After a while, he suddenly felt his muscles stiff and he couldn't move.

The huge, strange one-eyed dragon emerged from the blood vessels again and opened its mouth wide, wanting to swallow him in one gulp!
But suddenly——

There was a soft sound, like a string being plucked.

If you listen carefully, if you are familiar with the human body, you will find that this is not the sound of a guitar string, but the sound of the large tendons in the human body being tensed.

The energy was transmitted along with the sound. The air rose, expanded, and exploded. In the shock wave, a figure flashed and appeared, with a sharp edge.

The slimy one-eyed dragon didn't seem to react at all.

But there was a yellow light on the blade, and it flew out with a clanging sound!

The long slime dragon was cut off, and it twisted to try to recover like before, but the yellow light prevented its body from recovering and prevented it from integrating into the blood vessel wall.

Whenever it was about to merge into the blood vessel wall, the yellow light was like a stone, unable to melt in, and it could only stay outside, dragging it along.

The one-eyed dragon was still trying to dodge.

But Gao Jian has already stepped forward and cuts again!

After dozens of consecutive slashes, the sword wind swept through and the long dragon was cut into dozens of pieces. Yellow light flashed on the cross-section of each piece.

As a result, after a while, the long dragon completely lost its life, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of blood.

At this moment, the red liquid began to emit a strong smell of blood.

"Sure enough, it's blood. That's a good thing." Gao Jian showed a happy expression.

His guess was correct. These things were made from blood and should be close to the heart at the moment. Heart blood is where fire and vitality gather, so there must be fire.

Gao Jian attached the earth energy of the spleen to the blade, in this way, he severed the opponent's body and destroyed the flow of the opponent's fire energy, making it impossible for this life fire energy to flow freely, and eventually it turned into pieces and squirmed in place.

The reason why he was so happy was that since this kind of blood creature still existed, it meant that although the dragon body was dead, it still retained vitality!

At least there's still fire in its heart!

Then he can be saved. All the conditions of the plan have been met. Next, we just need to connect the five elements of the five internal organs through the blood vessels and release his last breath. This will temporarily dispel the black fog around him, right?
After dispelling it, you can hurry out.

There is nothing left out. There is nothing left out.

Gao Jian was smug, and began to collect the blood remaining on the walls of the blood vessels on the ground.

This stuff is dragon blood, at least the hard work of a sixth-level dragon!

How could he let go of such a natural treasure as Wai Ri? Besides, Gao Jian was already exhausted at this time and had only eaten some turtle meat. Now the dragon blood was just right to replenish his vitality.

Fortunately, the dragon's blood is gel-like and very viscous, and it hardly disperses, so it is much easier to collect.

After collecting the dragon blood, Gao Jian cut a small piece the size of a peanut and put it into his mouth.

In just a moment, Gao Jian's skin suddenly turned red all over.

The originally hungry body was full in an instant.

And that’s not all, the blood in his body began to boil.

The nosebleed flowed out of the nostrils and couldn't be stopped!

Wow, isn't it a bit too nourishing? I can't stand it!

The fire in my body is burning!

Theoretically speaking, this kind of thing should be combined with medicinal materials, carefully refined, and the violent nature of it should be removed before it can be taken. However, Gao Jian ate it raw and his heart was boiling with anger on the spot!
