Chapter 462: I Think I Can Still Be Saved
Vigorous exercise underwater rapidly depletes the oxygen stored in one’s lungs!
If a spirit warrior can hold their breath underwater for 10 minutes while stationary,
During intense exercise, they might reach their limit in just three minutes!
Even with the pacifier’s boost, Jiangnan only had three minutes!
But Jiangnan had no intention of surfacing!
He pushed his tongue all the way back, opening a spatial wormhole right inside his mouth,
With the other end opening on the lake surface, he completed an air exchange in an instant, held his breath again,
And achieved continuous underwater combat!
Having a built-in infinite oxygen tank—pretty nice, right?
At this moment, Jiangnan, wielding a green onion, was going toe-to-toe with the Mosasaur swarm underwater!
The feeling of a basic attack being a finishing move was just too satisfying!
“Blood Incineration! Taste the onion!”
……
Back on the rocky island, a group of spirit warriors and volunteers were staring at the lake with tense expressions!
Muffled booms and tremors kept coming from the lake, the surface water shaking as if drums were being beaten.
“Seven minutes! Even a submarine can’t hold its breath that long! Is Nan Shen a fish?”
“Why isn’t he coming up? We can’t see anything!”
“Is he drinking down there?”
“Ahhhh! I really want to go see what’s happening!”
Just then, a large splash of blood burst from the lake, like a bright red ribbon!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao’s pretty faces instantly turned pale, filled with worry.
“Th-That’s not Nan Shen’s blood, is it?”
“Why has it gone quiet? Could Jiangnan be...”
“Spit, spit, spit! Don’t say that!”
“Hurry up and slap yourself three times! Bad mouth!”
Just as everyone was full of doubt,
One by one, Mosasaur carcasses cut in half floated to the surface—sixteen in total, thirty-two pieces!
All were clean cuts, and the crowd on the rocky island nearly popped their eyes out!
“Seven minutes? Killed sixteen Mosasaurs? Was Nan Shen making dumpling filling underwater?”
“No, he’s making fish soup! Look! He even sprinkled green onion on top!”
“Is he a god? How did he manage that? This...”
At that moment, a large bulge rose on the lake’s surface, and the water began to bubble from the high heat!
“Boom!”
Water splashed everywhere!
Jiangnan’s body shot out of the lake like a cannonball, spinning and flying over a hundred meters into the air!
The water on his body turned to steam due to the high temperature, swirling around him!
Everyone’s eyes were wide, stunned by the sight!
A Mosasaur opened its massive maw, roaring as it burst out of the lake!
Jiangnan’s eyes flashed with a cold, wolf-like gleam!
“You think I’m a pushover?”
“Eight Gates of Escape! Seventh Gate of Surprise! Open!”
In an instant, spirit power surged like a tidal wave, his physical abilities skyrocketed!
A void barrier formed behind him!
Jiangnan pushed off, springing like a coiled spring!
His body plummeted like a meteor, the sonic booms deafening!
He drew two green onion holy swords from behind and slashed down fiercely!
“True · Onion Burst Abandonment Slash!”
Two green onion sword energies fell in an “X” shape!
“Boom!”
A massive X-shaped mark was carved into the lake surface, sending a curtain of water over 20 meters high!
The Mosasaur was cleaved into four pieces like a cake!
The scene was utterly shocking!
The crowd on the rocky island was dumbfounded!
“Holy mother! That’s so flashy it makes my scalp tingle! How can it be this epic?”
“Is he human? When did a Gold One become this strong? So shocking!”
“Yueyue! Did you record that? That was freaking awesome!”
“Got it! 4K quality, very detailed!”
“Why do I feel like laughing in such a serious scene? Double onion style? Dude...”
At this moment, Qin Shou’s eyes were shining, his face red with excitement!
It appeared! The Onion Burst Abandonment Slash was indeed feasible!
This was the image he wanted!
But why did the same move look so much cooler when Jiangnan did it?
It didn’t make sense!
Now the lake surface was like a pot of boiling water!
Sword energies burst out from time to time, sending water splashing everywhere, and one Mosasaur carcass after another floated to the surface!
There were already forty or fifty!
The Mosasaur King panicked!
This guy with the green onions wasn’t human—he was a demon!
If he kept chopping like this, their entire race would be wiped out!
It turned to flee!
But a green onion sword energy slashed up from below, striking the Mosasaur King hard!
The massive impact blasted it out of the lake, leaving it covered in blood with its scales broken!
Jiangnan followed closely, stepping on a spatial barrier!
He drew another onion and slashed again!
The 30-meter-long Mosasaur King was knocked back another ten meters!
Jiangnan teleported to keep up, continuously pulling green onions from behind to strike the Mosasaur King!
Carving one bloody gash after another!
The volunteers and spirit warriors on the island were terrified!
“There it is! The air thirteen-hit combo! So cool it’s blinding!”
“Am I seeing things? Did Nan Shen just stand in the air?”
“Look at what he’s doing to the Mosasaur King! Is he tenderizing it for the pot?”
Mosasaur King: ꒪ͦ))))彡
After exploding thirteen green onions in total, Jiangnan reached back again—only to find his stock was empty!
By now, the Mosasaur King had been tenderized and crashed onto the rocky island, rolling its eyes dizzily!
In the sky, countless green onion flakes fell, scattering evenly over the Mosasaur King!
Perfect seasoning!
The crowd was left in awe!
He really did it! Not only did he successfully fight the Mosasaur swarm underwater and kill forty or fifty of them,
He even tenderized their king!
A full-service demonstration that left everyone stunned silly!
Jiangnan teleported onto the island, his face pale, legs trembling slightly.
He quickly chewed some ginseng with sauce.
The crowd surrounded him, eyes sparkling.
Jiangnan pulled out a small dagger, spun it in a neat flourish, and wiped his nose: “Standard procedure. Don’t be impressed!”
The onlookers couldn’t help but laugh, but he really was strong!
This wasn’t a battle—it was a visual feast!
Jiangnan rubbed his hands together, full of excitement: “Let’s see what treasures you’ve hidden in that big belly!”
With that, he opened up the Mosasaur King, and guts spilled everywhere!
Some girls screamed and ran away!
But Jiangnan pounced on it, rummaging through the mess!
Mosasaur King: (;´༎ຶ﹏༎ຶ`)
You’re so heartless! So cruel! So inhuman!
I think I can still be saved!
In the king’s stomach, Jiangnan found piles of fish, shrimp, and spirit beast remains that were mostly corroded by stomach acid.
Finally, he found a large core fragment!
It almost formed a complete core when combined with the two fragments he already had!
It showed just how small the fragment that Shen Hong and the others had was!
Jiangnan noticed that the writing on this fragment from the Mosasaur King’s stomach had been partially corroded,
And had undergone subtle changes!
He wondered if this was why the thousand-island lake spirit storm had occurred.
He lifted the core fragment out, rinsed it off, and stored it in his alternate dimension!
Just then, Jiangnan noticed a faint red glow coming from under the fish and shrimp!
“A treasure! It must be a treasure!”
He quickly pushed aside the debris, revealing a bright red ore! It was as clear and gorgeous as a ruby,
The size of a motorcycle!
Jiangnan: (๑¥⌂¥๑)
He pounced on it!
“Mine! I found it! It’s mine!”
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue beside him couldn’t help laughing.
This little money-grubber was hopeless!
“Don’t worry, Xiao Nan! No one’s going to take it from you!”
“At least take it out and admire it, okay? Stop flailing around in its stomach! Ew~”
Jiangnan was ecstatic!
An unexpected bonus? This was awesome!
A ruby this big? How much money would that be worth?
But as he pounced, he froze. Although it looked like a gem, it had a cold, metallic feel!
And it was ridiculously heavy! Jiangnan couldn’t even lift it!
His face turned red from effort, but he finally managed to drag it out. It made a metallic “clang” as it hit the ground!
About the size of a motorcycle, it must have weighed three to five tons!
Jiangnan’s eyes sparkled: “The core fragment got corroded by stomach acid, but this didn’t! Could it be some kind of spirit-containing metal ore?”
Zhong Yingxue tilted her head: “I don’t recall anything like this from the spirit-containing materials textbook!”
Xia Yao said excitedly: “Maybe it’s a new material?”
Everyone gathered around to discuss the metal!
Mosasaur King: (›´﹏`‹)
I really feel like I’ve been hollowed out!
Hey, hey, hey! Isn’t anyone going to try and save me?
Are you serious?
