Chapter 648 The Second Contract

The waves were roaring and the wind and rain were blowing.

Lin Nian fell into the river. The dragon corpse was floating in the distance. The thick dragon blood gushes out from the wound that split in two. In the blink of an eye, the vast river area was turned into a restricted area for life. Any living thing Swallowing or being contaminated with too much dragon blood in this core area will cause its own genes to be eroded and irreversibly transformed into a dragon. However, the definition of "biological creature" does not include Lin Nian. In a sense, his blood and genes are more pure than pure dragon blood. The next generation of blood dragons are even more evil.

The furious alchemy domain retracted into the blade, and gurgling blood flowed from the hilt. Legend has it that this alchemy sword will drink the blood of dragons. This is no joke. The jagged blade can basically be equivalent to dragon teeth. A reaction that can devour the blood of any living thing that cuts it open and cause massive anemia.

The incision on the dragon corpse was very smooth, the bones and tendons were cut in half, and even the nerves were cut open. There was basically no possibility of regeneration. After all, this was a dragon, not an earthworm. No matter how strong the self-healing ability and cell activity were, it could not be done. Mythical creatures, such as vampires, can regenerate after their heads are decapitated.

In addition, Fury's sword cut off not only his physical body, but also the spirit that was truly fatal to dragons! Jun Yan's spirit of words disappeared quickly, and the temperature of the river began to drop, but it was still boiling like boiling water. The water vapor was rising all the time, covering the sinking Long Shi and Lin Nian who was recovering his strength on the river.

Half a leg has reached the point of the third level of violent blood and the tenth level of Setsuna. Even his bloodline has experienced unstable fluctuations. He is floating in the river, and the surrounding dragon blood gradually moves closer to him as if being attracted. Suddenly, a strange reverse current appeared on the turbulent river.

But at this moment, a naked white foot stepped on Lin Nian's chest, and he did not mind the ferocious black armored feet.

The girl in white stood on Lin Nian's body as if she had fallen from the sky, but without any weight, otherwise Lin Nian would have sunk to the bottom of the river long ago. She appeared in the water vapor with her blond hair hanging down behind her. Elf, but she may now behave more like a ghost than an elf, without substance, only appearing in the eyes of those who want to see her.

The moment she stepped on Lin Nian, the highly poisonous dragon's blood in the surrounding river suddenly fell into the center of the pepper like soapy water. The tension of the water surface was destroyed, the dragon's blood was repelled, and their approach was ruthlessly rejected. , all of them huddled outside the circular realm and stopped flowing in.

Lying flat on his back and floating on the river, Lin Nian silently looked at the blond girl who was looking down at him. The blond girl looked at him carefully and sighed, "It's so embarrassing."

The Dragon Attendant was killed with one blow. In the end, the collision between the Monyah and the Monyach was so powerful that it was like a landslide and the sky collapsed. Jun Yan burned to the extreme but did not even touch Lin Nian, and was completely knocked out. Out of rage, he was cut in half with a knife. If anyone in the execution department had achieved such a great achievement, it would probably be framed and trumpeted every year on the anniversary, but from the blond girl, he only received an embarrassing comment.

However, Lin Nian didn't say anything to refute her, because he knew that the blonde girl was right, and he looked really embarrassed.

The dark armor brought about by the second violent blood dragon transformation has lost its luster, and all the high-strength and toughness structures inside the scales have been destroyed by the final high temperature. But if it weren't for this armor, he would have been exposed to the next generation species. In an instant, Jun Yan burned all his skin and was seriously injured.

"The scale armor can indeed act as a heat insulation layer, but its structure is not in a hollow foam state, so even if it can resist some bronze and fire king dragons' spirit spirits, the effect will not be much better. "The blonde girl said, "If you want to build your own scale structure as you like, only the Black King and the White King can do this. Even the four monarchs cannot change their genes at will."

"Has the matter over there been dealt with?" Lin Nian did not dig deeper into this topic, but this issue was also something he could not avoid in the future. If the King of Bronze and Fire in the brass jar was not killed for one day, he would We have to find a way to solve the problem of how to slay a dragon in high temperatures.

"Half and half." The blond girl squatted down without pulling up her skirt. If the river hadn't been turbulent, it would have reflected the beautiful scenery below. She reached out and poked Lin Nian's forehead, "The 'Emperor' is indeed there, girl." There is something left in my head, but I just don’t know if it is a secret move or an idle move.”

"Is there any difference?"

"The difference is quite big. In casual chess, if I caught his move this time, there is a high probability that he will not use this move again, but if it is dark chess. You know, the 'Emperor' always has his thoughts It’s like an onion layered inside a layer, and it’s even more of a riddle than me. If you can’t figure it out, you won’t be able to completely solve it, and it will be a problem in the long run.”

"So you are self-aware. So, do you have any suggestions?" Lin Nian reached out and grabbed the white ankle that was pressing on his chest and moved her away.

"Observe." The blond girl walked to the river on the side without mind, and had a great time jumping on the surging waves like stepping on stairs. She turned to look at Lin Nian on the river, "Since you can't tell the difference, His true purpose, then I might as well play a game of chess and let Him guess my intentions. There is always a ranking among the Riddlers, and I think my level of guessing is higher than His!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Young nodded lightly and saw the blond girl struggling to pick up the Fury that killed the next generation from the water.

"Do you know why 'Rage' is an alchemical weapon with the highest purity of blood among the Seven Deadly Sins?" The blonde girl grabbed Fury in her right hand and suddenly lifted it up as if it was light, without any of the laborious appearance just now.

"So it turns out that it is a weapon that requires the highest purity of blood?" Lin Nian said.

"Not bad," the blond girl looked up and looked at the sword. After losing his grasp, Fury had returned to its original shape of nearly 1.8 meters. Although it was still fierce and ferocious, it looked "gentle" compared to the previous seven or eight meters long appearance. "A lot.

"The first of the seven deadly sins is not rage, but arrogance." She waved Fury gently, and the blade of the knife passed around her and created a wave. The water wave suddenly lost a large chunk, and the clear river water gurgled at the handle of the knife. Outflow. This alchemical knife actually did not produce any resistance. It was held in the hand of the blonde girl like a loyal servant and exerted its full effect.

Lin Nian's memory was just as good even without the assistance of the blonde girl. Naturally, he remembered the Han Bafang (Eight-sided Han Sword) which was purely smelted from bronze. The shape of that sword was completely incompatible with the so-called Seven Deadly Sins compared to the Furious Zhanma Sword. The name of the leader.

"The reason why Fury is the first of the Seven Deadly Sins is because he has the highest alchemy and smelting skills. His Highness Norton loves this violent weapon, because among the seven swords, the butcher knife he is most likely to wield first is Fury. ." The blonde girl said quietly, "To deal with his sympathizing brother, he can probably be killed with a knife in a rage and it won't cause any pain, right?"

"The four great monarchs are all twins." Lin Nian said lightly. This information is not a secret. There are pairs of shadows in countless ruins and records about the first generation species. People on the throne of the King of Bronze and Fire His Highness Norton's name is often recited, but the presence named Constantine on the side of the throne is never forgotten.

"Power and strength." The blonde girl said, "To merge into one, the four monarchs have taken great pains. They all have reasons to devour each other, but the difficulties that come with it also prevent them from completing it. For thousands of years. His Highness Norton never 'merged' with Constantine until his death and truly held the power in his hands, so they only appear in the form of a 'cocoon' now."

"Will the four kings merge into one? Is this a filming of Power Rangers?"

"What a joke. He is indeed my boy. He was roasted to a ripe age and he still doesn't forget to complain." The blonde girl praised, "If someone really wants to form the head, I guess it would be His Highness Norton himself? Constantine has always been They are all children who have not grown up, and they think about letting their brothers eat them every day. In fact, under certain circumstances, these noble first-generation species are no different from dead children who have not grown up."

"What about you? Do you have any older sisters or sisters who can get something to eat?" Lin Nian looked at the blond girl, who just smiled and said nothing.

"You have other work to do, don't you?" The blonde girl pointed at Jiang Subconsciously, "Do you need my help?"

"I can still move." Lin Nian stretched his bones in the water and noticed that the blood of the dead next-generation species around him did not flow to his side. He glanced at the blonde girl again, "What did you do?"

"'Baptism' can certainly take your bloodline a step further, but it's better to skip the next generation of bloodline." The blond girl said, "It's too bad. I have to replace it with Constantine or Norton's dragon blood. When the time comes, I'll take off the bloodline." I'll wash it all with you, no, I'll wash it red."

Lin Nian looked away from him, but didn't say anything. He took the rage thrown by the blond girl and swam towards the Monyach in the distance.

—

When Jiang Peijiu rushed to the deck, she happened to see Lin Nian boarding the ship. The armor all over his body made a crisp sound under the slap of the bloody waves behind him, and pieces of it peeled off on the ground. They were scales that had been burned and scrapped. As soon as it hit the ground, it cracked into a hard shell.

What was exposed under the fallen scales was slightly red skin. Just as the blonde girl said, even with the protection of scales, he was still burned. The burn level was probably first to shallow second degree. No naked eye could tell. Blisters were seen, but some were slightly swollen.

"Clothes!" Jiang Peijiu shouted into the cabin, and Thelma ran out holding a pile of crew clothes, handing them over before the scales on Lin Nian's upper body peeled off completely.

Lin Nian put on his clothes and trousers, and walked straight to the bow of the ship under the sight of ghosts and gods peeking out of the cabin. He picked up the bronze box that had hit the side of the ship, along with the bronze box in the corner. Hidden by Si Nan, this alchemy tool that Jiang Peijiu Qian and Wan told not to lose was taken down before Lin Nian went to fight for it, otherwise the high temperature of Jun Yan might have completely destroyed it. .

"Put it away, you may need it later." After Lin Nian handed Sinan back, he handed the closed Seven Deadly Sins to Thelma. After taking it, Thelma glanced at Lin Nian's hand. Furious, who was holding it in his hand, subconsciously asked, "This one in your hand."

"It's still useful." Lin Nian said. It was at this time that Shuode Aki, who had only regained some strength in the cabin, rushed out with a pale face and almost fell down.

Lin Nian glanced at Ya Ji and knew what the other party wanted to say, so he spoke first, "Ye Sheng is still underwater, and the Dragon King's 'cocoon' is beside him. I have to go get it back."

"His gas cylinder storage capacity is running low. He can still last for about five minutes. Time is very tight." Jiang Peijiu said quickly, "I sent the dome picture he and Yaji took in the bronze front hall back to the headquarters. Over there Students should be summoned urgently to decipher it, hoping to unlock the map of Bronze City."

"There is also a dragon attendant under the water."

Jiang Peijiu was stunned, along with Thelma and Jiude Aki. The latter almost fainted. His lips turned white and he stared at Lin Nian, hoping to hear "guess" and "guess" come out of his mouth again. The word "may".

But unfortunately, Lin Nian didn't say anything more. He simply stated a fact.

"The dead one didn't care too much about the brass jar when he fought with me. There are only two possibilities. One is that the brass jar is not the Dragon King's 'cocoon' at all, and the other is that he believes that Ye Sheng is absolutely Leaving the Bronze City without a brass can allows him to have such confidence in the fate of the Dragon King's 'cocoon'. It's hard for me not to believe that there is another Dragon Server in the Bronze City, or something more powerful. ."He said.

"There is nothing more powerful than the Dragon Attendant. The pinnacle below the first generation is the second generation." Jiang Peijiu was stunned for a long time and felt her throat was a little stiff when she spoke.

With her peripheral vision, she looked at the blood-red and boiling river surface in the distance. The body of the second generation had sunk. In order to kill this dragon attendant, Lin Nian tried his best, and the Monyach was almost scrapped. Now the entire ship The surviving crew members are busy repairing the warship, hoping to squeeze out a little power to leave before being discovered, instead of being caught on the spot by the water patrol.

"Do you want to give up?" Thelma suddenly asked.

In fact, she did not give up Ye Sheng's idea, but based on the current irresistible situation, she couldn't help but said the most practical and appropriate approach. The commissioners of the execution department are not afraid of death, but they cannot easily die. Now they We have really reached the point where we are running out of ammunition and food.

But just when she said this, Jiude Aki beside her suddenly walked towards the cabin, but Jiang Peijiu was faster than her and reached out to grab her arm, "Aki, what do you want to do?"

Shutoku Aki didn't say anything, but everyone knew what she wanted to do. It was almost impossible for her to leave here by boat while knowing that Ye Sheng was still alive under the water.

"We really don't have the energy to start a war with a second-generation species now." Jiang Peijiu said calmly, "We will not risk losing an excellent commissioner anymore."

"But the Dragon King's 'cocoon' is still in the Bronze City." Shuode Aki said.

What she wanted to say was that Ye Sheng was still in the Bronze City, but at times like this, she knew how to suppress her emotions and use the right words to find a chance to really rescue the boy. The Dragon King's 'cocoon' was another A perfect excuse.

"Bronze City will not escape, and with the pride of the next generation, he will not evacuate that homeland with his 'cocoon'." Jiang Peijiu said.

At some point, she doesn't mind being the villain. Going into the water is tantamount to death. If Bronze City loses its guards, they can try to rescue Ye Sheng and bring out the brass jar, but if there is one more dragon attendant, then they have no choice but to retreat. A choice.

When Shutoku Aki looked at Lin Nian, she could only look at Lin Nian. Lin Nian was the deputy executive officer of this operation. After Professor Mansi lost his ability to command, the overall control of the situation naturally fell into his hands. Even if Mansi Si appointed the first mate as the temporary captain. In this case, the first mate would almost follow Lin Nian's words without hesitation. After all, a dragon-slaying hero on the battlefield will always have more say than the so-called commander. Even the school board of directors will It may not be easy to give orders from a distance now. I will not be able to accept your orders.

"I never said give up," Lin Nian said, "but I need time."

"What do you need time for?" Jiang Peijiu asked subconsciously.

Now the dragon transformation phenomenon on Lin Nian's body has faded rapidly. At first glance, he looks like a wet burn patient. Although she does not doubt that the boy still has the strength to jump and kill anyone on the ship, but he has to face another full-blown dragon. The next generation is too forced.

"Negotiation." Lin Nian answered with a word that Jiang Peijiu couldn't understand.

"Negotiating with the next generation?" Jiang Peijiu asked. She looked at Lin Nian, "For one person to get another person involved. And it's you who got involved. I don't think anyone can accept this price."

"It's not for Ye Sheng, it's for the Dragon King's 'cocoon'." Lin Nian said lightly under the gazes of Jiude Aki and Selma.

Under Jiang Peijiu's frozen gaze, he turned around and walked alone to the depths of the deck in the heavy rain.

Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Peijiu and Selma in the cabin behind, Lin Nian walked into the rainy night. He walked all the way to the bow of the ship, where the blond girl in white stood overlooking the Three Gorges and the Yangtze River. He stood The blond girl spoke from behind, "Let's talk?"

"What are you talking about?" The blond girl turned back and looked down at him with a smile in her golden eyes. The blood-red river water surged behind her, which made her white clothes and skin clean.

"He doesn't have much time." Lin Nian said. Ye Sheng's oxygen time is limited, so even "negotiation" requires a race against time.

"Want to save Ye Sheng?" she asked.

"You accept the conditions." Lin Nian nodded. His condition was indeed not good enough to face a full-fledged next-generation species. The burns on his body were all trivial matters. The most troublesome thing was that his physical strength had bottomed out and he could not sustain it underwater for a long time. 'Setsuna' and Iai, who just slayed the dragon, had exhausted his physical strength to the bottom.

Even if Angers comes, he will be out of power after killing the second generation species head-on, and he can only give up on Ye Sheng. But now it is him on the Monyach, and he is also the commissioner of the mission. As 'S 'Level He possesses an unknown second physical strength bar, which is the blond girl in front of him.

The blond girl stared at him for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled and said, "I thought your dream was to build a cozy home with your sister. Why are you suddenly fighting for something that you don't have?"

"Unless the Dragon King dies, there will be no future." Lin Nian lowered his eyes and said.

"Maybe." The blonde girl smiled and nodded, "It's business, I like your cheerful personality! You always let me take advantage! In fact, I was prepared to talk to you when I came tonight It’s been a tough battle, but now it’s just a second-generation species, and it’s not Norton himself, I’ll help you get rid of it!”

Lin Nian nodded silently and agreed. After his last trip to Japan, this was another "contract" he had reached with the blonde girl. He would definitely pay a price for it. But this time, he didn't seem to be so afraid of the price. Yes, maybe it’s a subtle trust, or maybe it’s due to more factors.

As if sensing the quiet change in Lin Nian's attitude, the blonde girl's smile became brighter and brighter, like a little sun in a dark thunderstorm. She stretched out her hand, and held Lin Nian's hand under the reflection of her clear golden eyes.

ps①: Just a quick answer. The sinking of the warship is an expression of the tension in the scene. The actual situation may be that the Monyach just caught the water wave and sank, or it may be that the field pressure after the violent awakening caused the warship to sink. Being sunk does not mean that Lin Nian, who is at the peak of his second violent bloodshed, can shake the warship with his strength, so there is no need to go into the textual expression method here.

ps②: How to put the seven-meter sword together, put it at the waist, and then swing it out sideways to draw a "one". If you are strong enough to lift a table, you can complete this action. The two words "ju" and "he" are the mutual terms for the two sides of the confrontation. It is a sword skill that can be used to defeat the enemy by drawing the sword in an instant without giving the enemy any opportunity to take advantage. There are no strict requirements for movements.
