Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 130: Thunder and the Watcher (40)

Dragon Raja 5

According to the information, when the secret party members saw the evil headquarters that was massacred by him, they all doubted whether they should recruit this guy into the secret party.

The Immortal wielding the rapier was a former Earl. When he was still alive, men of high society often dueled with swords, but this Earl, having fought dozens of duels with actual swords, had never even sustained a scratch, earning him the nickname “Silver Ghost.” He willingly became an Immortal so that his fighting skills, which combined the essence of swordsmanship from around the world, would not be lost.

All in all, they were the best killers in the world when they were alive, and now they are much stronger than when they were alive.

The sound of the battering ram completely disappeared, and Chu Zihang continued to crawl. He thought of crawling to the stern to make some more noise to attract all the immortals over, otherwise they would still be wandering around the cabin where Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei were hiding.

At this moment, the floor above him broke, and sharp claws penetrated the iron sheets of the floor and ventilation duct, about to tear him into pieces!

“Edward”!

Chu Zihang didn’t hear Edward’s footsteps because Edward didn’t walk over. He crawled along the roof with the help of the iron claws installed under his wrists and amazing strength.

This matter was mentioned in the document, and Chu Zihang had also read it, but the description of “being able to move freely along vertical surfaces and even hang and crawl” really made it difficult for people to imagine that this guy could move silently on the roof like a big spider.

Edward’s arrival was more powerful than a battering ram. After his entrance, the two immortals, their dragon blood boiling, immediately confronted each other, their golden eyes brimming with hostility. The confrontation ended with a reluctant retreat from the battering ram, forced out of this dimension by Edward. Chu Zihang mistakenly believed that the battering ram had simply left after a fruitless search.

The behavior of immortals lies somewhere between that of humans and animals. Strong predators always have priority over prey, just like cats use urination to mark territory. Battering Ram, realizing that Edward was stronger than him, did not dare to fight him and could only retreat from the territory where prey might be found.

Chu Zihang didn’t know any of this.

After the pounding of the battering ram died down, he began to crawl again, his heart rate rising immediately. Edward sensed his target beneath the floor, climbed along the roof to just above Chu Zihang, and plummeted down, like an eagle swooping down from the sky to snatch a lamb.

Smoke and dust filled the air, debris flew from the floor, and Edward’s sharp claws barely grazed Chu Zihang’s neck, leaving five holes in the ventilation duct. The Damascus steel blade exuded a suffocating smell of rust. Although it missed by a few centimeters, the chill of the blade seemed to have severed Chu Zihang’s carotid artery.

After all, the attack was across the floor, so Edward could only aim roughly. Chu Zihang happened to lean to the left at that moment, otherwise Edward’s claws would have cut off at least one of his arms.

Everyone’s reaction at this moment would the same: flee, desperately flee! Chu Zihang crawled in the sewer like a frightened little mouse, no longer caring about being exposed. Edward followed behind, his claws dragging behind him, scraping the ground with a terrifying sound that made teeth ache.

For this supremely advanced predator, the hunt was over here. No matter how much Chu Zihang climbed, he couldn’t outrun Edward. The sound of his increasingly clear heartbeat would always guide Edward. Edward didn’t act immediately, just like a cat won’t kill a mouse it’s caught. It will watch the mouse struggle for survival until it is exhausted.

All the information he had read in that file streamed through Chu Zihang’s mind at high speed. He didn’t want to die, he couldn’t die yet. He had to find a way to survive. Although he was willing to sacrifice himself so that the two people who truly loved each other could live together in each other’s arms—of course, the two people didn’t quite agree with his point of view—he still had a small wish. He wanted to go back to China to see the woman named Su Xiaoyan.

Just look at her from a distance, make sure she is doing well, make sure she is happy in this world without him.

He truly didn’t feel comfortable leaving her with the man surnamed Lu. Chu Zihang had never considered the man surnamed Lu reliable, even as a child. Although he would call him “Dad,” and he would express concern for him when others were around, they both knew it was a gentleman’s agreement. Neither he nor Chu Zihang would speak out, and they both wanted to make Su Xiaoyan happy.

But he wouldn’t appear before his mother, believing she would be better off if she forgot him. He had been drawn into a mysterious, dark world, a dead man who had inexplicably returned to life. All he could do from now on was travel the world with his brothers and sisters. Death could come for him at any moment, so he didn’t want to cause Su Xiaoyan another heartbreak.

He has always been a considerate guy since he was a child, except when he was facing Chu Tianjiao.

“Deformed musculoskeletal system”, “hardening of the bones on the body surface”, “enhanced five senses”, “ability to control high-risk words”… these are the advantages of immortals, allowing them to transform into bloodthirsty dogs that can hunt dragons; “acting on animal instincts”, “poor logical thinking ability”, “poor learning and imitation ability”… these are the shortcomings of immortals, and Chu Zihang has to find a way out of these shortcomings.
