On top of the water tower ten kilometers away.
The martial artist from Jiangnan's MAD intelligence department had yet to hang up on Wang Gang.
Even over the phone, Wang Gang could hear the violent explosion.
After a long time …
The explosion stopped.
"What actually happened?" Wang Gang asked somberly.
"A rocket launcher! It must be a nuclear rocket launcher … heavens!"
An exclamation of surprise reached Wang Gang's ears. He did not even have to ask to know what happened.
"Black King Drake, come out and die!"
Jiang He's furious bellow reached Wang Gang's ears through the phone as well. Wang Gang shuddered, almost dropping the phone.
"A divine-tier elite is attacking?"
"No, divine-tier elites would not attack so easily, or they would start a war above rank-nine … could it be one of the best rank-nines?"
Wang Gang's heart skipped a beat.
That possibility …
Was too great!
Even their intelligence department only learned about the Black King Drake's ascension this afternoon. What if the elite who attacked Chongming Island did not know about the Black King Drake's ascension?
"Quick, contact Chief Qin for me!"
Wang Gang was panicking.
…
Meanwhile, Jiang He had pushed his aura to its limit.
Charging his True Qi, the silhouette of five great suns arose behind him. Indestructible Diamond was charged to its limit, while Nature Qi swirled around his body, accompanied by the roars of dragons and trumpeting of elephants. In a flash, he cast Blind Princess's Eight Practices and headed toward Chongming Island.
The river was over a thousand meters wide, but Jiang He did not stop. Instead, he directly landed on the surface of the river and walked over it.
The calm surface of the river was now surging with undercurrents, and behemoths could be vaguely seen rapidly approaching beneath the river.
Splash!
Suddenly, there was a massive splash up ahead, followed by a furious roar. A gigantic crocodile that was almost thirty meters long opened its fearsome maw and bit down at Jiang He.
"A rank-seven crocodile?"
Jiang He promptly cut out with his blade.
Crackle!
Thunderbolts flashed as his slash tore through the air, cutting the massive crocodile in two and dropping into the water. Even so, in the instant that it did, more aquatic Ferals lunged at it.
There were rank-five, rank-six, and even two rank-seven Ferals lunging at Jiang He.
Jiang He swung his blade again, cutting down the two rank-seven Ferals. After that, he stomped on the head of a rank-six crocodile and leapt high into the air, landing on Chongming Island.
Pa!
The crocodile that Jiang He had stepped on had its head blown apart.
Landing on the riverbank, Jiang He turned to find the thousand-meter-wide river churning, with many Ferals roaring and roaring as they swam towards him.
"It's too scary. If someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they would probably vomit!"
Jiang He shuddered.
The thousand-meter-wide river was densely packed with ferocious beasts. The most eye-catching one was a giant crab that was two stories tall.
It floated on the surface of the river. Its shell was as hard as tungsten, and its huge claws gleamed coldly …
If it was made into a big king crab, it would definitely be delicious.
Jiang He whipped out a handful of strengthened pea bombs and threw them all.
Rumble!
Intense flames burst out from the river, illuminating the night sky. In order to prevent any fish from escaping …
Jiang He threw a few more pea bombs.
He had a lot of them, and while they were not that effective against stronger Ferals, blowing up Ferals below rank-seven could not be more comfortable.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of something piercing the air echoed. It was the king crab, ignoring the explosions and brandishing its pincers as it charged towards Jiang He.
Jiang He's Adam's apple bobbed and he gulped. Putting away his Dragon-Slaying Saber, he killed the king crab with several Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and happily put it away in his System Backpack.
Glug glug …
Bubbles churned in the river and steam billowed.
The effect of the pea bombs was very similar to the fuel-air bombs, and Jiang He's throwing several pea bombs actually boiled the waters around him.
Just as he was about to head towards the core of Chongming Island, Jiang He's heart skipped a beat …
Then, he took out a few more pea bombs and threw them into the river.
Looking at the fishes, shrimps, crabs, and other Ferals floating on the surface of the river, Jiang He could not help thinking, 'What a shame that the river flows. Otherwise, these pea bombs would boil the water for a long time, and I would be able to eat steaming seafood after I'm done with the Black King Drake …'
'No, that's not right. Seafood is only from the sea. These fishes, shrimps, and crabs are from the river, so they are freshwater food at best …'
Whoosh!
His feet moved, and he darted towards the center of Chongming Island. Even so, Jiang He found it strange that no Ferals attacked him along the way.
Slowing down, Jiang He took out several blended qi pellets out of habit and popped them into his mouth, frowning slightly.
"Something's not right again …"
"I could hear the echoes of Ferals roaring on Chongming Island before, and judging from the sound and aura, there should be a lot of rank-seven, eight, or even rank-nine Ferals on Chongming Island. Why am I not seeing a single one now?"
The script had been quite normal at the start, but why did things change after he reached the island?
After he reached the island, there were many Ferals blocking his way.
According to the normal script, there would be Ferals blocking his way after he reached the island as well. Moreover, the Ferals would gradually become stronger, and they would carve a bloody path for themselves until they finally fought the Black King Drake, the strongest Boss on Chongming Island, and killed it.
But …
Where were the Ferals?
"Forget it. Chongming Island isn't that big anyway. I'll just take my time looking." Jiang He ate a few more blended qi pellets.
It was not that he had used up too much True Qi in the battle before and needed to replenish it with the pellets … it was just a habit, just like how some people liked to smoke when they were in trouble, or how some liked to chew gum.
For Jiang He, eating blended qi pellets was no different from chewing gum … if he had to make a distinction, it would probably be that the blended qi pellets were a little more expensive at three million each.
He continued forward for several kilometers, when his gaze suddenly shifted and he stopped.
There was a towering iron tower up ahead.
There was a flat area between him and the iron tower.
Many massive Ferals with overwhelming auras were crouching on the ground, all of them facing the iron tower.
It must have been a mobile signal tower, and there were many other buildings around it, although all of them were now broken and crumbling.
A python even larger than the Leopard Python was coiled on top of the iron tower. Its body was around 300 meters long, and its massive body was covered in black scales. Its head was the size of a mansion, and its scarlet tongue was flicking as it stared down at Jiang He mockingly with its dark golden eyes.
The most special thing about it was that there were actually two big bumps on its head. It looked like it had two horns.
"Rank-eight?"
"How dare you, human. A mere rank-eight and you dare to behave atrociously on this king's Chongming Island?"
The Black King Drake spoke, its gruff voice echoing beside Jiang He's ears.
Jiang He did a double take and could not help exclaiming in surprise, "Interesting. A long worm like you can actually speak and not use spirit acoustics … it seems that you're gifted like my dog."
Rank-seven Ferals could use spirit acoustics.
It was common knowledge that those above rank-nine could speak …
Still, Dumbo's appearance made Jiang He realize that common knowledge was not unchangeable. Could the Black King Drake before him be the same?
Rawr!
A furious bellow echoed from the Black King Drake's mouth. "How dare you compare me to a dog?!"
"I'm flattering you by comparing you to my dog!"
Jiang He laughed out loud. His True Qi instantly burst out, and the silhouette of five great suns arose behind him. Dragon-Slaying Saber in hand, he charged directly at the iron tower.
Rawr!
The Black King Drake bellowed again, and the many Ferals that had been crouching on the ground soon got up and lunged at Jiang He.
"Good one!"
Jiang He's laughter was utterly arrogant. With a swing of his Dragon-Slaying Saber, a thirty-meter thunder slash cut through the night sky, tearing apart a rank-nine Feral that was leading the charge with a single slash.
？？？
Jiang He could not help doing a double take after that slash.
"What the hell!"
"Am I that powerful now?"
"I feel like that Feral is not much weaker than the Sky Demon Cult's Third Elder, but it couldn't even block a single slash from me?"
Pow!
In that split second of surprise, the ground beneath Jiang He's feet split open. A massive pangolin had leapt out from beneath the ground, its massive body slamming into Jiang He's body.
Jiang He's body was sent flying several hundred meters away like a ragdoll, crashing heavily into the ground.
