Chapter 2266 Preparing for a Breakthrough

When the dragon soul escaped into the Styx, I immediately narrowed my eyes and sensed the breath of Mu Sheng and other ghost kings.

However, there was no breath of these ghost kings in my Qi Sea.

"I suddenly returned to this era after I was unconscious, and Mu Sheng and others might still be fighting with the demon army somewhere at that time, so they didn't have time to return to my Qi Sea?"

I frowned secretly, hoping that during the time I was away, the laws of the ancient times would not have too much impact on the ghost kings.

"Even if they were affected, their strength would only be reset to the ghost king realm, and their souls would not be scattered. This is nothing!"

I took a deep breath, and then my mind moved, and this thin divine consciousness instantly returned to the original body.

Then, I quietly opened my eyes.

"General Zhang, you're awake!" I heard a cry of surprise. I looked over and saw Chiho Aoi staring at me nervously. Even Lai Fu had his eyes wide open, as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

"What's wrong?" I frowned, with some confusion in my eyes.

"General Zhang, during the time you were asleep...some strange changes occurred in your body." Chiho Aoi said nervously.

"Changes? What changes?" I asked hurriedly.

"Not long ago, your body suddenly burst out with powerful energy, and that energy was golden. All the acupoints in your body suddenly lit up, and the knife hanging on your waist also began to tremble and made sad sounds!"

Chiho Aoi spoke very quickly, and because she wanted to speak Chinese, her words were a bit confusing, but I still understood.

"The Soul-Slaying Blade should have sensed something, right? After all, I got the blank of the Soul-Slaying Blade in ancient times!"

I stroked the Soul-Slaying Blade on my waist, and the Soul-Slaying Blade seemed to sense my state of mind and trembled slightly, like a docile little cat.

"My body burst out with golden light, and all the acupoints in my body lit up? At that time, I should have used the power of divine punishment and was about to kill the dragon, right?"

I didn't think much about it, because I knew that it would only bring me benefits and would not bring any hidden dangers.

Then, I turned my head and looked at Xiao Qi.

To my surprise, Xiao Qi didn't show any signs of waking up. She was still sleeping soundly, but there was no pain between her eyebrows, and her expression was very calm.

"I woke up this time not because Xiao Qi woke up from a dream, but because I was in a coma, which caused my three souls and seven spirits to return to this era. If Xiao Qi woke up from a dream, then not only me, but also all the ghost kings would return!"

I nodded secretly, and almost as soon as this thought came to my mind, I was suddenly shocked.

Because at that moment just now, I felt that something had escaped into my sea of ​​qi.

I moved my mind, and a divine thought descended into my sea of ​​qi again.

Then I saw that the eighteen ghost kings were sitting cross-legged on the Styx, holding the seal in their hands and madly devouring the netherworld qi.

"Only eighteen are left? Three more ghost kings have been killed?"

I brought a total of twenty-four ghost kings to the ancient times, and now, only eighteen ghost kings have returned to the modern times...

These ghost kings have followed me for a long time. It can be said that they have grown up with me. Now, several of them have been killed, and my mood has become heavy.

"Qian Yu!" Mu Sheng sensed my breath, and he slowly stood up and came in front of me.

"The demons have retreated, and we have also escaped into your sea of ​​​​qi, but we sense that your three souls and seven spirits are not there, and that physical body has become an ownerless object. We guessed that you may have returned to the modern times, so we returned together!" Mu Sheng said.

I nodded: "A few more brothers have been killed. Next time, you better not go to that era with me!"

Hearing this, Mu Sheng's expression dimmed, but he still shook his head: "It is our own choice to go with you. The risk and reward are proportional. Moreover, we follow you, so we will naturally help you when you need us, and even... die for you!"

I didn't say much, but my expression became a little complicated.

Because I thought of Hu Zi and others, I firmly believe that if it really comes to a life-and-death moment, Hu Zi and others are willing to die for me.

Conversely, I am the same!

"You should take a good rest!" After I finished speaking, I left the Qi Sea and returned to my original body.

"How long have I been asleep?" I looked at Chiho Aoi and asked.

"One day and one night!" Chiho Aoi said, "Zheng Cheng came to me today and said that the radar detected the appearance of an unknown giant creature, so the course was changed. The time to reach the destination was extended. It will take at least another hour!"

"Did the course change?" I frowned. If there were any unknown giant creatures, they would most likely be hybrids of the dragon clan.

Although we are still many days away from the Mariana Trench, the activities of the hybrids of the dragon clan are very wide, and as a dragon slayer, the dragon aura in my body will inevitably attract the attention of those hybrids.

"I'm going to talk to Zheng Cheng!" I took a deep breath, then stood up, stretched my body, and walked out of the cabin.

"General, do you want to prepare some food?" Chiho Aoi suddenly asked.

"Well, prepare some!" I nodded, and then went straight to the captain's room.

After entering the captain's room, I found Zheng Cheng staring at the radar. When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Qian Yu, you're here!"

"Yeah!" I nodded: "Are you in trouble?"

"It's not a big problem, but the creature is too huge. Although it doesn't threaten our ship, it's better to go around it. After all, no one knows what it is. If it really attacks us, there may be casualties on the ship if you are not there!"

Hearing this, I nodded, and then asked: "How long will it take to arrive?"

"Ten days at the fastest, of course, if the course is not changed continuously." Zheng Cheng looked at the route map, and then said: "But even if the course is changed again, it will not take more than twenty days."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" I patted Zheng Cheng's shoulder: "If anything happens, you can go find Chiho Aoi and ask her to wake me up!"

"Yes, General Zhang!" Zheng Cheng saluted me solemnly.

I returned the greeting, then walked out of the captain's room, stood on the deck, and stared at the blue sea in a trance.

"This time, I killed a dragon and gained a lot, enough for me to break through!"

I took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged on the deck, pinched the seal with my hands, and practiced the dragon-slaying skills.
