Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 131: Thunder and the Watcher (41)

Dragon Raja 5

His “hide-and-seek” survival method was derived from analyzing the shortcomings of the immortals. He even thought of using the rapid flow of air in the ventilation ducts to carry away his own scent. These ferocious hunters rely more on smell and hearing than vision.

Even though his mental age was only fifteen, compared to Lu Mingfei, he was still a good student. After reading the information, Lu Mingfei only thought that these things were really hard to beat! With such a brother, Chu Zihang felt that he had to pay more attention to that.

“There must be a way! There must be a way!” Chu Zihang kept encouraging himself in his heart.

This was something he learned at a very young age: to endure everything and never give up hope. He could even call a man “Dad,” get the highest score in his class, and act like the all-around stepson, all the while secretly hoping his mother would reconcile with the man who loved to eat braised pig intestines.

“Acting on animal instincts”, “poor logical thinking ability”, “poor learning and imitation ability”… He repeatedly thought about the weaknesses of the immortals, but under this situation, he could not take advantage of any of them.

Suddenly, the ventilation duct fell silent. Startled, Edward took two steps back and forth. Of course, the prey couldn’t just vanish, it could only suddenly stop. But that didn’t bother Edward. He could still determine Chu Zihang’s location by the sound of his heartbeat. It was just a subtle sound, requiring him to concentrate.

He did hear the distinct heartbeat, right below him. But he was also a little surprised because the heartbeat suddenly stabilized. An animal being hunted shouldn’t have such a steady heartbeat.

He raised his claws and stabbed them directly. Just as the document said, the Immortals did not act based on logic. The next moment, bright sparks burst from his claws, and white smoke billowed from his body. He stumbled backward, shaking all over like an epileptic.

Chu Zihang turned around and desperately climbed back. He had deliberately stopped at that moment, tempting Edward to pierce the high-voltage wires that crisscrossed the ventilation duct. Ship wiring isn’t usually high-voltage, but Chu Zihang recognized the markings on the wires; they were indeed bundled high-voltage wires, likely leading to the engine room or steam room.

Even with an Immortal’s physique, the high voltage electricity passing through his body was enough to cause muscle spasms and even cardiac arrest. With the Immortal’s amazing recovery ability, even cardiac arrest could be revived, but that would only buy him time.

He needed time, even a little bit, to shake Edward off and get himself hidden again.

There was a faint light on the left fork, which usually meant the exit of the ventilation duct. Chu Zihang didn’t care that his elbows were already rubbed bloody and twisted his body to crawl to the left fork. He kicked open the grille at the fork and slid out of the ventilation system.

He twisted his ankle as he landed. It was indeed a steam room, filled with white, high-temperature steam. He had been right; high-voltage wires were only needed for power lines running to certain power plants. This dense steam was a great aid in his renewed concealment; it would also weaken the Immortals’ sense of smell.

“No matter how cunning the hunter is, he cannot defeat a good fox!” I forgot where I saw this famous quote.

Chu Zihang was such a good fox. He uses the intelligence of a fifteen-year-old academic to the extreme and can make even the most terrifying dragon slayers run around in circles.

He crept through the steam, groping for an exit, until a muscular arm emerged from the mist, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up.

“Battering ram”!

The rhino-like immortal roared in triumph. He had finally succeeded. As he entered the cabin, he could already sense a faint heartbeat nearby, but Edward, who had arrived shortly after, chased him away. He knew he couldn’t defeat Edward’s claws head-on, so he could only quietly follow behind. Until Edward fainted temporarily from the electric shock, Chu Zihang began to crawl through the ventilation duct with all his might.

The battering ram followed into the steam room and easily captured its prey. With one hand, the battering ram grabbed Chu Zihang’s throat and lifted him into the air with ease. Chu Zihang struggled desperately, but he couldn’t even make a sound, like a fish being pulled out of water.

His strength and swordsmanship were both outstanding, but they fell into the hands of the strongest battering ram among the immortals. The battering ram’s deformed arm looked like the forelimb of a giant ape, and its strength was far greater than that of the giant ape.

The battering ram looked at the prey with its dazzling golden eyes. Obviously, this was not a very valuable prey. The immortals liked the taste of dragon blood in the prey’s blood. They came for a big monster, but what they captured was just an ordinary human.

At this moment, the door of the steam room was violently pushed open, and Edward, with white smoke coming out of his body, rushed in, growling angrily at the battering ram, revealing his tiger shark-like fangs.

The high-voltage shock only knocked him unconscious for less than half a minute. Upon regaining consciousness, he immediately followed the sound to the steam room. Although it was an insignificant prey, falling into the hands of a battering ram still made him furious, and he immediately issued a threat.
