Becoming A Dragon In A Martial Arts World - Chapter 40
Chapter 40 Creature Suspected to Have Dragon Blood
On the other side, in the darkness.
A handsome young man covered his chest and hid behind a tree with a shocked expression. Even though a while had passed, his face was still filled with shock. Of course, there was an unconcealable joy in his shocked expression.
What did he see? The Great Zhou Imperial Family had been searching for this powerful creature for thousands of years! Today, he, Zhou Zhen, had actually found it!
“As expected, I was wondering why I felt that something was wrong. I didn’t expect to find the treasure that my Zhou family hasn’t found for a thousand years by following Granny Snake tonight! It’s time for Great Zhou to rise for another thousand years. No! Perhaps it’s an eternal time!”
A dragon! What a beautiful and powerful creature! A creature that might have dragon blood was about to appear in front of him. Thinking of this, he hurriedly left.
…
In the morning, the thick fog gradually dissipated. An old woman whose clothes were getting wet stood in front of a big tree. She carefully touched the scratches on the tree. This person was none other than Granny Snake, who had been searching for traces left behind by the insects for the entire night.
At this moment, she touched the scratch and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “That’s right. Even if the creature that left behind the traces isn’t the legendary one, it definitely has an inextricable relationship. It’s my turn… There’s hope when it prospers!”
As she spoke, she took out a small item that looked like a whistle and played it. Soon, an extremely fast and agile bird flew down. After feeding the bird, she tied the small paper roll that she had prepared earlier to the bird’s feet. “Go, go! Find where you belong.”
Not to mention the changes in various parties, at this moment, on Bai Chuan’s side. After fleeing for a day, he finally arrived at the riverbank. He exhaled lightly and looked behind him. Fortunately, no one was chasing after him.
However, he knew that it wouldn’t be long before someone appeared. He looked at the surface of the river that had just melted not long ago, then he looked at the small wooden box and little rat in his claws. He was a little troubled.
Although he had taken advantage of his free time to scan the Icy Silkworm from time to time during his escape, perhaps it was because the Icy Silkworm was special and the difference in their sizes was too great.
The scanning speed had only reached 20%. It seemed that he could not abandon this rat for the time being.
However, in the current situation, Bai Chuan
glanced at the small wooden box and was a little uncertain. He had to enter the water, if he
still had to hold it in his claws, the small wooden box would definitely be submerged underwater. Would something happen to it then?
And how was he going to carry this rat? After
all, the two couldn’t be too far away. Bai Chuan lowered his head and thought for a moment. Finally, he looked at the rat and sighed in
confusion.
Although he was a little unhappy, he had no
choice. Damn it, this rat was lucky. This rat was
probably the first rat in history to sit on a
snake’s back.
That’s right. Because Bai Chuan was no longer
small, he was worried that the wooden box
would be soaked in water. Therefore, he decided not to swim in the water. At the same
time, he raised his head and neck where it was not wet. Then, he bit the box with his mouth. The little rat was sitting on his wide neck. This way, the two of them were not far from each other. He could scan them from time to time. After making up his mind, Bai Chuan decided to go into the water and catch a few fish to fill his stomach. After all, he had escaped for a day and had to keep floating on
the surface of the water. It might be very difficult for him to have time to eat again.
He gently returned the small wooden box and the rat to the ground. Then, he imitated Zhang Dadan’s gestures with his fingers. He didn’t care if it could understand or not and gestured for it to stay where it was.
Only then did Bai Chuan slowly retreat. After
seeing that the rat did not run around on its own, he crawled into the water.
After entering the water, he did not hunt immediately. Instead, he stayed underwater and watched the figure of the rat coldly. As
long as it showed any signs of escaping, he would immediately explode and capture it. Although he did not dare to kill this rat, it did not mean that he could not break its limbs to
prevent it from escaping. After looking for a while and realizing that it really had no intention of escaping, Bai Chuan swam around
to find the big fish.
As for why he did this, of course, it was purely because he did not trust anything other than himself. How many times had he met that rat? Moreover, it was just an animal without intelligence. How could he be at ease with it? It was normal for him to be wary of it.
After all, it was related to the Icy Silkworm’s
model, so he had no choice but to pay attention
to it. He had taken such a huge risk and stolen what the humans were fighting for. They might come looking for him at any time. If something were to happen because of his carelessness, he would benefit others and he wouldn’t get any benefits. Wouldn’t he become a fool then?
Not long after, the water began to roll violently, as if some huge creature was wreaking havoc. However, not long after, the water surface calmed down. With a loud sound of water breaking, a monster that looked like a dragon and a snake poked its head out of the
water.
Carrying a large amount of water, he slowly
climbed ashore. Under his sharp claws, there was a grass carp nearly seventy centimeters long. Its body was tea-yellow, its abdomen was grayish-white, and the edges of the scales on its side were grayish-black. Its pectoral fin and abdomen fin were grayish-yellow.
After Bai Chuan went ashore, he first looked in the direction of the rat. After discovering that the wooden box and the rat were all there, he
was relieved and began to drag the heavy fish ashore.
He stretched out his sharp claws and began to stab into the fish’s body non-stop. Amidst the numb scraping sounds, he tore off pieces of fish meat. Then, he handed a piece of fish to
the rat and ignored it. He began to swallow the food in big mouthfuls.
For some reason, he realized that his eating efficiency was still too low.
Now that he did not have any sharp teeth to
bite off when eating, he had to slowly tear it
apart with his claws. It would not be a big deal under normal circumstances, but when he needed time, he would realize that it was too slow.
It seemed that the evolution of the teeth had to be put on the agenda. Bai Chuan thought to himself as he ate the fish. Not long after, he
felt that he was almost done eating. At this moment, there was only a third of the big fish left.
Bai Chuan had no choice but to abandon it. Normally, he would have finished it all. However, he had to run now, so he had to
maintain his best state. If he maintained his best state, he could not eat too much. After all, snakes would have difficulty moving
once they were full. In the end, he had not completely escaped the limitations of snake size. After eating his fill and replenishing his water, Bai Chuan followed the plan he had planned before. He bit the wooden box and brought that
little rat into the water. He meandered away in the direction of the water.
Two hours later, the bald man, Zhang Dadan,
who had returned to his normal size, appeared with an item that looked like a compass in his hand. He carefully looked around and finally
came to the shore, where the little rat had stopped.
He looked at the fish corpse that was pecked by countless small fish and shrimps floating on the water surface, as well as the direction of the compass that was heading downstream. After thinking about it carefully, he took out a
simple kraft paper map and compared it carefully. He discovered that there were two huge tributaries in front of him. One was the Great Lake, and the other was the sea. There was no doubt that the thief could not have entered the that was not something a human
sea, because
could stay in.
Therefore, there was only one answer. He
raised his head and looked in that direction with an ugly expression. He clenched his fists and slowly exhaled.
“Damn it! Their target is actually the Great Lake. That’s the territory of the Soaring Heaven Sect and the Earth Dragon Gang. Could this matter be related to them?”
