Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

The crimson shadow meandered across the water at great speed, raising the water level wherever it passed, creating a wave as high as a person on the surface of the Luo River.

When the mediums were distributed in the mountain and water cave, the situation underwater was not like that on land, where heroes fought for power.

It should be noted that the Luo River is as vast as Zhongshan Mountain, and even extends further. The fact that the giant blue fish could subdue all the aquatic monsters belonging to Zhongshan Mountain in such a vast body of water, daring not to fight, speaks volumes about its strength.

In the water, Zhongshan probably only had himself to subdue it, besides his mother.

But now, it can't hold on any longer and is about to fail?

Are they from Yunxi Continent, attacking along the Luo River?

wrong.

With Zhongshan's mother still in charge, it's unlikely that the human race would send a Golden Core cultivator above the Third Realm to the mountain to violate the rules.

But apart from humans, who can suppress such a ferocious bluefish in the water?

Dragon!

This is the most primitive and brutal territorial conflict among monsters.

His mother was trapped in the valley, and at that moment, he was the only one in these mountains capable of fighting back.

With this thought in mind, the giant snake suddenly increased its speed in the water, splashing knife-like waves on both sides of its body as it swam straight ahead.

On the Luo River, the surging waves pushed by the red shadow suddenly became rapid, the water churning like a wall of water about to collapse.

In just a short while, countless waves surged in from the edge of Zhongshan, covering the water surface and shattering the ice sheet that was half a foot thick.

The shattered ice, carrying a chill, flowed past the giant snake's side.

Within the icy mist, a colossal black shadow suddenly swung its mouth, sending the giant bluefish flying like a cannonball.

Huai Nian flicked his tongue, raised his tail to catch the large, wounded bluefish, and stared intently at the dark figure in the icy mist.

Its body shape is similar to that of a snake, with armor protruding from its back like a series of precipitous peaks, four limbs attached to its body, and an extremely long snout.

A glance at the large bluefish revealed its body riddled with bloody holes drilled by its sharp teeth, from which blood flowed incessantly.

"crocodile……"

"Alligator Dragon".

The giant snake exhaled a mouthful of pure moonlight and poured it into the blue fish's body to help it stabilize its life force.

Then, its crimson scales clashed tightly, and its muscles wrapped around its bones, tightening layer by layer, producing a teeth-grinding crunching sound.

A torch ignited in his eyes, and golden and silver divine light suddenly burst forth.

The icy fog dissipated.

A green alligator dragon, almost the same size as himself, with square, dark-colored scales and a rugged back.

Half of its body floated above the water, its gaping maw slightly open, revealing shattered fish scales and bits of flesh and blood that had not yet been swallowed between its fangs.

"Hand over the snake of Zhongshan..."

"Boom—!" The giant serpent swung its tail, and thousands of giant waves, like sharp arrows, rushed straight for the alligator dragon.

Before they could even blink, a life-or-death crisis was already looming.

The alligator dragon instinctively opened its blood-red maw, stretching it straight out to a ninety-degree angle. A powerful suction force, like a whale sucking in water, swallowed all the incoming water arrows.

"Snake!" A deafening rumble echoed from the alligator dragon's pitch-black throat. "I see you're also a dragon, so why not hand over that..."

Before he could finish speaking, a jet of water, incredibly solid and like moonlight condensed from the sky, shot straight into his mouth.

"!!!"

The alligator twisted its body sharply and spun around to dodge.

The water jet missed its target, and the water behind it exploded like a meteorite falling, bursting open to create a curtain of rain that blotted out the sky.

That red serpent really wanted to kill me!

The crocodile's heart was ablaze with fury, rising in all directions and nearly consuming its reason.

But it still remembered its mission to Zhongshan, and it managed to suppress its anger, using its tail to disperse the rain.

Looking around, they found no trace of the red snake.

"Where did it go?" the alligator murmured, about to dive down.

A gaping maw burst from the water's surface, clamping its jaws tightly onto its forelimbs.

The alligator dragon, in pain, immediately decided to tear off its forelimbs to escape.

But the giant snake was even faster than its decisive action.

In that brief moment of restriction, the ferocious giant tail surged up from underwater, tearing the water's surface.

"Smack."

The water exploded with a deafening roar, spraying everywhere. The giant tail, like a rope, tightly bound the dragon's tail. Red scales collided with green scales, sending sparks flying.

The giant snake then attached itself to his body.

There was no roar, no declaration.

The enormous snake coiled upwards segment by segment, and the muscles beneath its red scales, which contained terrifying power, began to contract before they could fully form.

The terrifying force piled up layer upon layer, like a mountain pressing down, shattering the scales of the alligator dragon in pieces, and a short, broken growl escaped from its throat.

"etc…"

"I...I...was...submitted..."

"Rao—"

The snake ignored him and squeezed its prey's throat again, preventing it from making a sound.

Under immense pressure, the alligator's eyes rapidly became bloodshot, its eyeballs bulging outwards beyond their sockets, as if they were about to burst open at any moment.

To prevent it from exploding, the giant snake channeled the moonlight within its body, starting from the skin of its prey and seeping inch by inch into its interior, freezing everything in its path.

The crescent moon descended, coldly observing this predatory behavior of snakes taking place in the water.

The giant bluefish had recovered some of its strength and slowly swam to the edge of the battlefield.

It looked at the alligator dragon with which it had fought for a long time.

Just moments ago, it was churning the waters and forcing it to retreat. But now, it was being strangled by the red snake, its scales shattered and blood gushing out. It couldn't even utter a cry for mercy.

On its deathbed, the alligator dragon struggled to move its eyes.

Those once fierce, vertical pupils were now cloudy, their eyes filled only with an almost instinctive pleading—

Help.

The big blue carp slowly lowered its head, its emotionless and lifeless fish eyes revealing a helpless sadness.

"Click."

A crisp sound.

The red serpent twisted the spine of the alligator dragon, tearing its body in two.

"Let all the water demons of Zhongshan come and eat." The giant serpent released the corpse of the alligator dragon, letting it fall.

Blood splattered, staining the river red.

The red snake flowed through the blood, its scales glowing an eerie red in the cold moonlight.

The creature with its heterochromatic eyes, gold and silver, coldly looked down at the giant blue fish, its tone completely indifferent: "Tell me, why did this alligator dragon come to Zhongshan?"

"It's here to find a... frog." Countless aquatic creatures swarmed past, and the big blue fish, watching the alligator dragon's corpse being devoured bit by bit, also wanted a piece of the pie.

"A frog?" The giant snake ripped off the alligator dragon's head and threw it in front of it, its tone somewhat surprised. "What kind of frog? Are there any frogs in Zhongshan that would make a dragon covet them?"

No wonder.

Looking back on his fifty years, Huai Nian had never seen any particularly powerful frogs.

The idea of ​​sitting alone on the Frog-Slaying Platform and refusing to ascend is just a joke from my past life.

"I don't know, but the Snake God did give me instructions to protect that frog." The big blue fish opened its mouth and began to peck at the flesh and blood of the alligator dragon.

"It can talk. It comes from Yunxi Continent. Its tongue is quite powerful. It reminds me of... a precious sword in a human's hand."

"Yunxi Continent? Frogs?" the giant snake murmured.

For a mother to order protection... could there be a Frog God in Yunxi Continent?

If it has a relationship with the mother, why would it run to Yongningzhou and Zhongshan?

"Where is it?" the giant snake asked.

"I don't know the exact location, but it's definitely in this section of the Zhongshan waterway."

"Let me look for it. Once I find it, I'll bring it to you at the Mountain and Water Cave."
