Suna concentrated on commanding the remaining poisonous insects, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination. Under her control, the poisonous insects were like a ball of black mist, flashing with strange light under the reflection of the sun, and quickly flew towards the dragon's eyes. The dragon noticed the approach of the poisonous insects, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He waved his claws impatiently, and the claws were like five sharp scimitars, drawing a cold light in the air. A strong wind blew out, like a tornado, blowing the poisonous insects away in an instant. The poisonous insects struggled in the wind, making a "buzzing" sound, and fell one after another. Suna looked at the miserable state of the poisonous insects, and her heart ached, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "We can't give up, we must interfere with it and buy time for Leng Xuan."
Leng Xuan took advantage of this moment and, like a flash of black lightning, darted towards the riverbank. He knew time was running out; if the dragon reacted, he would be doomed. As he approached the riverbank, a powerful suction suddenly surged from the bottom, as if an invisible giant hand was pulling him into the endless darkness. Leng Xuan was startled, but he didn't retreat. He gritted his teeth and jumped into the river.
The river water was icy cold, like countless tiny ice needles, instantly piercing Leng Xuan's clothes and piercing his skin. He felt his body instantly frozen, every cell trembling in pain. He endured the cold, with only one thought in his mind: "Find the Cold Iron Sword and save everyone." He opened his eyes and searched for the Cold Iron Sword in the murky river. The water was extremely murky, and visibility was extremely low. He could only vaguely make out a few blurry shapes swaying in the water.
Deep beneath the river, he spotted an object emitting a chilling light. Like a cold star twinkling in the night sky, it stood out against the darkness. He knew it must be the Frost Iron Sword. However, the sword was locked in a massive iron cage, also engraved with mysterious runes. Those runes twisted and meandered, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, as if telling of a forgotten history.
At that moment, a dragon's roar echoed from the surface of the river. Leng Xuan knew the dragon had noticed his movements. Furious, he swam desperately toward the iron cage. With every swim, the resistance of the river water felt like a heavy burden, choking him. As he approached the cage, he noticed the runes on it flickering faintly, as if to prevent him from approaching. The runes emanated an invisible force that sent a tingling sensation through his body.
Leng Xuan tried to chop the cage with his Shadow Moon Blade. The blade struck the cage, creating a resounding sound like a bell echoing beneath the river. But the cage remained motionless, as if it were an impenetrable fortress. He fretted inwardly, "This cage is so sturdy! How can we open it? Are we really doomed? No, I can't give up."
At that moment, the runes on the iron cage suddenly glowed brightly, and a powerful force erupted from them, like a surging undercurrent, knocking Leng Xuan back. Leng Xuan slammed heavily against the rocks at the bottom of the river, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, spreading rapidly in the river like a blooming blood flower. But he didn't give up. With an indomitable fighting spirit burning in his heart, he swam towards the iron cage again.
On the river, Lin Yu and Suna struggled to deal with the dragon. Lin Yu dodged the dragon's attacks while keeping an eye on the river, silently praying, "Leng Xuan, you must succeed in getting the sword. Our fate depends on you, you must be safe." His eyes revealed a hint of worry, but more of it was trust in Leng Xuan.
Suna continued to command the Gu worm, attempting to disrupt the dragon's movements. She looked at the dragon's enormous and terrifying form, feeling a sense of despair, but she steeled herself, mentally encouraging herself: "We can't give up. We'll definitely wait until Leng Xuan gets the sword. We've been through so much together, and we'll definitely defeat it this time." Her hands trembled slightly with nervousness, but she remained steadfast in controlling the Gu worm.
Can Leng Xuan break free from the iron cage at the bottom of the river and successfully retrieve the Cold Iron Sword? How long can Lin Yu and Suna withstand the dragon's fierce attacks? Everything is filled with uncertainty, as if a thick fog shrouds their path. They are facing an unprecedented test. At this moment, the gears of fate begin to turn nervously, and what awaits them will be even more severe challenges.
