In the underground river.
The dragon's body danced wildly, and the injuries on its body made it extremely furious. The water flow stirred the entire space under the pull of the huge body.
Ange climbed on the rock wall, his golden eyes fixed on the two figures fighting in the water.
The scarlet blood had dyed the river red, and the realm of Time Zero could not cover such a long distance. The speed of the two figures that kept intertwining and then separated again made it difficult for him to see clearly in the turbid water. He could only stare at it reluctantly. Looking at the dark shadow, he was ready to rescue him at any time when he lost strength.
In his opinion, Sun Haoran should be completely out of control at this moment.
Like a madman, he kept rushing towards the giant dragon with a stick, taking advantage of his smaller size to cling to the opponent and smash him.
This method is indeed very effective, but it is also very dangerous.
The dragon is wrapped with thunder and sharp scales that can make ordinary hybrids faint instantly. During strenuous activities, even if such scales are just scratched, they will probably be like sharp blades and can easily cut through the human body.
It is obviously unwise to fight such a big guy in close combat in such an environment.
This fighting method of exchanging injuries for injuries and the pair of pupils that were filled with scarlet and full of anger proved that Sun Haoran probably only had the most primitive instincts left at this moment.
Angers didn't need to think about it to know that fighting in the water was not an advantage for humans. Coupled with the intense consumption of oxygen, no matter how crazy this kid was, he would not be able to withstand it once the oxygen in his lungs was exhausted.
Sure enough, as Sun Haoran's figure was thrown away by the dragon again and again, the speed of approaching again became slower and slower.
This is in the water.
The giant dragon was obviously aware of this, so during the fight, it deliberately swam towards the center of the water where there was nowhere to focus.
In such an environment, it is obviously impossible for a two-legged human to be more agile than a dragon with a powerful tail.
Not only that, that huge body has a natural advantage in such an environment. Every twist of the body will set off a torrent, and the longer the time goes, the more disadvantageous it will be for Sun Haoran.
Angers knew that this boy was probably the key to this dragon slaying. If this was an open and waterless place, and this boy could wake up, he might be able to kill this bulky guy.
So he was waiting for the opportunity to prepare for rescue.
Everything must be discussed first.
But what made him extremely depressed was that this kid's lung capacity was too ridiculous, right? Without the support of oxygen bottles, he might not be able to continue waiting here.
After engaging in such a fierce battle with this dragon underwater for such a long time, this kid actually still had some energy left!
The movement that seemed to be slowing down just now actually became faster again!
"What's going on with this human being!?"
Not only Ange, but the giant dragon who was fighting Sun Haoran also felt horrified.
Something's wrong!
Something is wrong! !
Why can this human being move so fast? No...even faster than before!
boom--
The ground beneath the water collapsed under the violent trampling, and only the afterimage of a pair of scarlet eyes remained of the dark figure in the dim water.
Roar--
The screams sounded again.
The dragon howled in pain.
The powerful blunt weapon hit it again, and this time the opponent's speed was too fast for it to defend itself.
Long Yi, who had been broken before he could recover, was hit hard again.
This human clearly seemed to have lost his mind, but he seemed to be targeting its wings and refused to let go.
The wing membrane was riddled with holes from long sticks, the scales and bones were shattered, and the boiling dragon's blood heated up the river water.
"What the hell is he??"
The giant dragon stared angrily at the human figure in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.
He was not the only one who was injured in the fight.
This human being has obviously been hit by it many times, but why does he seem to be fine?
Whether it was thunder or sharp claws, they should have definitely affected this human being.
Doesn't he feel pain? Not tired? Don't need to breathe?
Is he...really human?
A series of questions appeared in the dragon's mind.
What responded to it was the scarlet eyes that once again reached its close proximity.
There was endless fighting intent in those eyes, as well as anger and murderous intent that even it felt horrified by.
At this moment, this aloof 'dragon', which claimed to be the supreme, seemed to feel the emotion called 'fear' for the first time in its long life.
But the next second it immediately extinguished this trace of fear.
"Fear? How is that possible!?"
As a dragon, how could it have such emotions towards humans?
Yes, it just doesn't understand.
I don't understand where this human's power comes from. He can clearly feel that the dragon's blood on the other person's body is extremely thin, so why does he have such a powerful power? What exactly is the source here! ?
"Who...are you?"
An angry roar exploded in the water.
The dragon roared and questioned the humanoid in front of him.
But couldn't get a response.
Only long black sticks came towards me.
At such a close distance, it seemed to see an almost crazy smile on that ferocious face.
boom--
The dragon's figure suddenly fell to the bottom of the water.
It struggled, as if it was a little stunned by the stick, so it couldn't get up immediately.
"This is really..."
Angers didn't know how to describe his current mood, but for some reason, a smile appeared on his old face under the mask unconsciously.
Such monster-like power often makes people fearful and addictive at the same time.
He looked with burning eyes at the figure that also fell to the bottom of the water. The dark humanoid was dragging a long stick on the ground.
Maybe this stick can really kill this giant dragon? Ange thought so in his heart.
······
"So sad……"
In the pitch black void that looked like an abyss, Sun Haoran was struggling helplessly.
His mouth opened wide in pain, as if he was trying to breathe.
But unfortunately, there is no air here.
[The host’s life is detected to be in danger]
[Take emergency avoidance measures]
【Conscious isolation...】
[Isolation completed, timer 5 minutes]
[Please host to take countermeasures as soon as possible]
"Ha ha……"
After a series of system prompts, Sun Haoran finally broke free from the suffocating feeling.
But he looked at the prompts on the only screen of light in front of him in the darkness and knew that now was not the time to relax.
The timer is counting down one second.
Obviously his current situation is very dangerous, and the system can only buy him five minutes.
"Suffocating? So where am I? What happened to me..."
Sun Haoran, who realized that something was wrong, was thinking crazily,
"By the way...I'm fighting that giant dragon..."
He recalled that he should have been fighting the giant dragon just a moment ago.
"So... is it out of control?"
[Bloodline: Holy Blood of Qitian (remaining)]
[Description: It comes from the blood left when ancient gods and demons fought against heaven and earth. It is incomplete and only retains a trace of its most violent will. The system judges it to be extremely dangerous. 】
【……】
After looking at this series of descriptions that he had never seen before, Sun Haoran felt bad all over.
He never dreamed that the will hidden in his body was actually the will of the legendary 'Monkey King'.
No, it should be said that it is his most violent will to fight, in order to resist the unruly fighting will of the gods and Buddhas.
How could human beings be able to control such a fighting spirit?
Soon, he probably realized that the current situation was probably because his consciousness had been eroded.
He should still be in the water now, and the reason why he feels suffocated is probably because his body is being controlled by this will to fight regardless of life, forgetting to breathe, and even forgetting to die!
But it's obvious that this state of affairs is only temporary.
After all, he is not the 'Monkey King' himself, how could he endure such a fighting method?
Even if he is stronger than ordinary people, he is still just a human being, and as long as he is still a human being, his body has its limits.
When the body reaches its limit, whether due to lack of oxygen or something else, people will feel extremely painful and unable to move.
But now such a limit is forcibly broken through under the influence of that violent will.
This is a 'miracle' that occurs when the will is greater than the body. This is probably the principle behind what people often call the 'potential explosion' at a critical moment.
But there is another limit that humans cannot break through no matter what, and that is——
The limits of life.
The limits of the body may be exceeded with willpower, and the pain of the body can be temporarily forgotten and forced to move. But the limit of life is impossible for humans to break through in any case, because exceeding this limit means death.
No matter how strong your will is, death is death.
Sun Haoran is probably in such a crisis now.
A strong will that does not belong to him is unscrupulously dominating the body's fight at any cost. The body's limits have already been exceeded, and it is approaching 'death'.
"what to do?"
Even if he knew what the situation was, Sun Haoran couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
By the way, fairy beans!
He remembered that he had chosen fairy beans for his previous reward.
Such a thing can indeed almost give him an extra life.
But the problem now is that he can't control his body at all, so how can he eat?
Fairy beans have to be eaten to be effective. As long as he has a breath, he can be saved, but if he is really dead, it will be useless!
"Damn, it's really useless!"
Sun Haoran cursed loudly.
Nothing given by this broken system is reliable.
The C-level dragon bloodline can only be used to make soy sauce, and the holy blood of Qitian is even more deadly. The fairy beans may be useful when they are also used to save others, but for him now, it means nothing.
"System, can you hear me?"
Seeing the countdown passing by second by second, Sun Haoran's eyes were a little anxious.
[Unable to understand, please explain to the host]
"very good."
Seeing the system responding, Sun Haoran's eyes flashed with hope and madness.
The only use of the system was probably to awaken his consciousness and give him time to breathe when he was in the most pain.
And in this way, he can be ready to fight against that will and regain the initiative of his body.
"Since you can buy me five minutes to think...then I want you to use this power to confront this will."
[Calculating...remaining time: 187 seconds]
[The system detects that the host's consciousness is being eroded and takes evasive measures to extend the host's survival time. Are you sure you want to cancel the avoidance state and choose to fight head-on? 】
[Warm reminder: If you choose a head-on confrontation, even if the system is blessed, the host's consciousness can only gain 1.87 seconds of counterattack time]
"1.87 seconds? That's enough! Just one second, just one second."
Sun Haoran stared closely at the glowing numbers on the light screen, a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.
Even he didn't realize that this madness seemed familiar.
Yes, he had been this crazy before.
That was when I faced a crisis with Zhang Chulan for the first time.
Without thinking, he decided not to run away anymore and to risk his life against the invincible enemy.
This is actually abnormal in itself.
······
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
An angry roar erupted from the dark humanoid mouth.
Ange's pupils shrank when he saw Sun Haoran's next movements.
He originally thought that this kid would kill the giant dragon in front of him with one blow.
But I didn't expect that this guy would actually target himself!
Amid the angry roar, a moment of clarity flashed through those scarlet eyes.
It was this moment of clarity that completely turned the entire situation around.
Sun Haoran's face was ferocious, and the hand holding the long stick suddenly exerted force.
He knew that it was impossible for him to fight against the will of the 'Monkey King', even if it was just a broken will.
It was a blessing to be able to regain 1.87 seconds.
He had to do something in this short time.
And the only way he could think of to prevent this will from continuing to control his body was to actively destroy it!
puff--
Under the influence of powerful force, the long black stick made of exactly the same material as the armor on his body penetrated Sun Haoran's body without any resistance, and the position was his heart.
At this moment, Sun Haoran's eyes were full of madness.
The only bargaining chip in his hand was the fairy bean.
So he's betting.
Even if the heart is penetrated, the human being will not die immediately, not to mention that his current physical state is completely inhuman.
No matter what, you can hold on for a little longer, right?
No matter how strong this will is, as long as the body 'dies', it will naturally be unable to continue fighting.
He was betting on whether death would come first, or whether his will would fade first.
As long as his willpower fades and he eats the fairy beans, he will not die.
Put it to death and live another life.
This method is easy to say, but how many people have such awareness when it is actually implemented?
Even Sun Haoran himself didn't realize that he was abnormal. He felt so numb to 'corpse' or 'death'. He always thought that he was used to the job of burying people, so he became numb.
But it's not that simple.
To be chosen by such a violent bloodline, there should always be something that fits with it, and the point that he fits with may be the madness hidden deep in the soul that is not even afraid of 'death'.
