Chapter 345 The Long-Legged Azure Dragon Token
<>
No matter how much Yu Liu refused, the token was broken and that was that. After it was broken in two, whether she could get the points at the finish line became a mystery.
Yu Liu was heartbroken. She looked at the token that was broken in two in her hand and then remembered that there was still the dragon's saliva on her hand. She couldn't care less about being sad anymore and threw the broken token away.
The token isn't essential, so it's fine if it's broken. There are plenty of other tokens, I can just find another one.
Yu Liu could be so generous, but the people following her couldn't. In their plan, not a single point could be wasted. Although they didn't know if this token could still be exchanged for points, everyone always harbors a "what if" mentality. Just looking at that giant dragon, they knew this token was definitely not simple, and the points it could be exchanged for must be substantial. In a competition where everything is based on points, even a single point could turn the tide of battle, let alone a large number of points.
The tokens were instantly snatched up.
Meanwhile, Zhu Ye was still fighting the dragon. Even as the dragon spat out the blue orb of light, and everyone rushed towards it, Zhu Ye didn't even turn his head. His large, now duller, blade continued to strike the dragon's body, each strike imbued with the lightning power that paralyzed it. This was why the dragon's movements were somewhat simplistic. It wasn't that it didn't want to unleash a dazzling attack to send its enemy flying; it was simply that the lightning power coursing through its veins caused temporary stiffness and numbness in many parts of its body, rendering it unable to perform many actions.
"hiss--"
As the wounds on its body multiplied, and the person who posed the greatest threat to it remained unlured, the dragon writhed in agony, unable to resist opening its blood-red maw and baring its fangs menacingly at the person.
"Hmph, don't threaten me, your moves are useless against me!" Enveloped in the power of thunder, Zhu Ye instantly moved to the other side of the dragon, and the greatsword in his hand, carrying immense force, slashed down on the dragon's body, instantly shattering its scales.
Seeing that the enemy posed no threat, the dragon had no choice but to loosen its coiled body. It turned out that besides the numbness and stiffness preventing it from unwinding, its primary reason was its mission. Hidden within its coiled body was a token identical to the one Yu Liu had just obtained. The only difference was that the carvings on Yu Liu's token were chaotic and unrecognizable, while the one it guarded depicted a black tortoise with a snake's head and a tortoise's body, roaring towards the sky.
"The Xuanwu Token!!"
"Look, it's the Xuanwu Token!!"
Those who were still scrambling for the token that had been broken in two instantly became excited.
"That's the real token, we stole the fake one!!!"
Everyone realized that this was all a trick by the dragon, pretending to be outmatched and using a fake token to deceive them. Obviously, they had all fallen for it. However, Zhu Ye, the most powerful among them, somehow saw through it all, which led to this scene.
"Wait, look! What's that next to the token?"
Just as everyone was excitedly heading towards the token, a more cautious and observant person asked a question with suspicion.
"Next to the token... isn't that just an ordinary stone?"
"No, this dragon just protected the stone within its body. If it were just an ordinary stone, why would it..."
Before the man could finish speaking, the dragon had already used its final, deadly move.
Relying on the fact that the token was right in the middle of its body, it quickly wrapped its tail around the token and fled, as if it were being chased by a natural enemy.
However, no matter how tense things get, what's meant to happen will happen.
Yu Liu didn't run away because Zhu Ye didn't either. The other party still owed her a message; if she just ran away like that, what if she couldn't find him when she returned?
Who can tell her where Xie Qiong went? This planet is so big, how is she supposed to find him?
Therefore, running away would result in greater losses. Moreover, even if she encounters any danger, her true form is made of indestructible metal, and her defensive capabilities have increased significantly after transforming into human form. In addition, with the willpower within her body, it's uncertain whether anything will happen to her.
Perhaps if she stayed, she could still save Zhu Ye. If the other party was grateful for her saving her life and told her about Xie Qiong, that would be an opportunity she absolutely couldn't miss!
While Yu Liu was weighing the options, everyone except the two of them had already chased after the dragon that had taken the token. However, the dragon's speed in the water was far beyond their capabilities. Even the one with wings couldn't catch up. Seeing the dragon leave the corner and about to enter the underground river, everyone panicked.
None of them paid any more attention to the stone that remained where it was. The stone looked ordinary, except that it was floating on the water.
Zhu Ye floated across the water, scoffed disdainfully, and picked up the stone.
"Um... Shall we go?"
Yu Liu maneuvered Bai Yun closer to him, somewhat puzzled as to why he had picked up that stone. However, as she drew nearer, she suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity with the stone.
"That stone..."
She frowned slightly, puzzled, not understanding why she had this feeling.
"Idiot, this isn't some kind of rock!" Zhu Ye rolled her eyes at Yu Liu, looking at her as if she were an idiot: "Have you ever seen a rock float on water?"
He held a stone in one hand and a large knife in the other, and swung it down: "It's just a disguise."
When the broadsword struck down, the expected stone shattering did not occur; instead, a metallic clang rang out, clearly indicating that the broadsword had struck a piece of metal.
"How is this going?"
Yu Liu was clearly stunned.
"It's just a petty trick. That dragon isn't anything special; it's just that it acts really well." Zhu Ye still sighed in a seemingly serious manner, "It's just an enlarged version of a venomous snake, plus a few military-grade virtual scene projectors."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yu Liu was completely stunned; her brain couldn't function.
What does Zhu Ye mean by that? Is everything here fake?
“Of course it’s not all fake.” As if knowing what Yu Liu was thinking, Zhu Ye explained to her with a slightly disdainful tone, “The scene is real, but the stone and the dragon are fake!”
