Chapter 82 Chapter 82 "Aren't you calling me Ah Zhu anymore?"...
Yingluo refused to withdraw, and Jiuzhao also refused to give up.
Since neither side is willing to compromise, they have no choice but to compromise with each other.
However, the atmosphere in the valley eventually cooled down.
The two of them each took one side, staring silently at the seemingly endless dark land.
There was no distinction between day and night in the Sunless Abyss. After seeing the monotonous scene for so long, even with countless worries weighing on her mind, Jiu Zhao couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness. She rested her head on the raised rock face, dozing off for who knows how long before she was suddenly awakened by a dull rumble of thunder.
I suddenly opened my eyes and saw that the vast sky was filled with lead-gray clouds.
They seemed to have absorbed enough moisture, and looked thick and heavy, hanging dully before the eyes, with flashes of lightning flashing through them.
Jiu Zhao looked around and saw two figures flying away quickly from different directions. He guessed that they must be Yan Zhan and Ji Min.
The sleepiness in her mind was completely dispelled by the second thunder, and she sat up with a jerk. Ying Luo beside her had a solemn and clear face.
Without even looking at Jiu Zhao, he said in a deep voice, "The thunder punishment is about to come."
The two guarding celestial beings have already evacuated, and now it is time for them to take action.
Jiu Zhao wiped his face and ended his invisibility.
Just as she was about to take action before the thunderbolt struck, a shimmering robe floated over from the side and covered her shoulders.
Jiu Zhao turned around and saw Ying Luo, who was only wearing a moon-white undershirt. He said, "This mermaid robe is a precious gift my father gave me when I was born. It is infused with three scales of the great god Yufeng, the ancestor of the mermaids. It is resistant to all fire forces in the world. The thunder punishment is the fire of the nine heavens, with immeasurable power. Your Highness, when wearing it, will always be able to avoid some harm and pain."
"So what are you going to do?"
Jiu Zhao grabbed a corner of the shark costume and asked back.
"It's okay. I belong to the water element, and water conquers fire. My resistance is much better than your Highness's."
Yingluo's words were obviously comforting.
Jiu Zhao also knew it well, and it was just a comfort.
When facing thunder punishment, with the same strength, water-type immortals can hold out longer than fire-type immortals - but the difference is just that they can withstand a few more hits. Otherwise, the Heavenly Order would not stipulate that thunder punishment is the ultimate punishment to punish and destroy all immortals.
Jiu Zhao decisively took off the shark robe and tried to put it back on Ying Luo: "No, I already owe you a lot."
The thunder is about to strike.
Time is running out and they cannot afford to give in to each other.
Glancing at the increasingly dense lightning gathering in the clouds, Ying Luo made a decisive move and threw the shark robe into the air. He gathered immortal energy at his fingertips, causing it to grow wider and longer, eventually transforming into a translucent umbrella that just covered their heads.
"That's all that's needed. You and I will be protected. Your Highness, let's go."
Jiu Zhao no longer had any objections.
In order to prevent themselves from escaping the coverage of the mermaid robe, the two held hands and flew into the air.
Boom——
The first thunderbolt struck, and the lightning like a dragon crashed straight into the sunless abyss.
In an instant, the entire earth seemed to be struck violently by an iron hammer, and rolling rocks slid down from the mountain.
Jiu Zhao's location was still far away from the Wu Ri Abyss, so the frequency of thunder punishment was not frequent.
She took Yingluo and moved flexibly in the lightning, looking for a gap where they would not be hit.
When dark clouds press down on the mountain, even the hardest rock will be broken.
The Wanlei Mountain in the thunder punishment is more like a death mountain.
After using the divine command to break through the layers of restrictions and reach the bottom of the Sunless Abyss, Jiu Zhao was lucky enough not to be struck by lightning thanks to the skills he had learned from Fu Xu, which allowed him to jump and land among the meteor showers.
However, the good luck only ended there.
The further down you go, the narrower the space of the Wu Ri Abyss becomes.
There were almost no gaps for people to hide in. Jiu Zhao guessed that when the prison to imprison Zhulong and Wu Shao was built, materials that could attract lightning were probably mixed in. The lightning that originally fell indiscriminately seemed to have suddenly grown eyes when attacking them, and it struck the cage accurately every time.
Under Yingluo's guidance, Jiuzhao passed through the thick fog that lingered at the bottom floor and prevented people from finding their way, and arrived at the prison where Zhulong was imprisoned.
She pressed the divine order against the mechanism of the prison door and exchanged a glance with Yingluo.
Yingluo said in his heart voice: "Once we go in, there will be no place to hide from the thunder punishment. Your Highness, we must fight quickly and decisively."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Zhao immediately activated the Phoenix Blood in his body, and the divine whip also appeared in his palm.
She took a deep breath, exerted force with her fingertips, and pressed the divine order into the gap.
The divine light shone brightly, and the prison opened.
The swift lightning also penetrated the mermaid clothes and struck Jiu Zhao without any warning.
Although the water-based divine power had been weakened, Jiu Zhao would never forget the feeling once he experienced it.
The hot and explosive force penetrated the skin and flesh and hit the soul directly.
The internal organs tremble and all the bones shake.
The soul suspended in the spiritual platform seemed to be burning.
Jiuzhao paused as he stepped into the cage and almost stumbled to the ground. Fortunately, Yingluo, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, supported him.
Ying Luo also felt uncomfortable as he was punished by thunder.
But he had served in the army for a long time and had been tempered by the hardships, unlike Jiuzhao who had lived a life of luxury since childhood.
He was just about to support Jiu Zhao and take her into the cage, but Jiu Zhao gritted her teeth and pushed his hand away.
She calmed herself down and endured the pain of the thunder punishment coursing through her body.
Holding the magic whip tightly, he took a step forward before Yingluo.
The fog surrounding the place was blocked outside the fence, and a long, crimson dragon came into Jiu Zhao's sight.
In fact, Yingluo's description is not very detailed.
The relative impression that Jiu Zhao formed in his mind was also different from reality.
She knew that there was no dragon race in the Three Realms.
Only in the Mingtan of the Burning Sea and the deep West Sea of the Three Pure Heavens do a group of dragons live.
The dragon is the most powerful and sacred creature in the world. Only those members of the Jiao clan who have successfully ascended to become gods can ascend to become dragons.
Jiu Zhao's father, the Three Pure Ones God Emperor is a dragon.
Zhulong was only a demigod, but he later degenerated and became an accomplice of the evil.
Jiu Zhao thought that he was at most not a demon dragon with traces of transformation into a dragon, but she didn't expect that except for the color, he was no different from her father god.
Sensing the breath of the two people, Zhulong paused and turned his head.
The desire to fight is imminent.
Jiu Zhao gripped the divine whip tightly, and the red glow of true blood burned on her body.
She silently turned her gaze, observing the position of the submandibular bead, hoping to hit it with one strike.
The other party's reaction was faster than hers.
As another thunder roared, a hoarse yet pleasant male voice rang out from the dragon's sharp-fanged mouth:
"...My Lord, is that you?"
Jiu Zhao's whipping hand stopped in mid-air.
My Lord.
What master?
There was a clear confusion on her face.
Ying Luo, standing by, suddenly thought of something and immediately spoke in a whisper that only they could hear: "Your Highness, the Queen God and the Sinful God Wu Shao are twins from the same mother, sharing the same Phoenix bloodline. You have inherited all of the power of the Queen God's true blood. The Candle Dragon has followed Wu Shao in battle for many years, and I'm afraid it may have mistaken you for its master by identifying you with your aura."
"Aura identification?"
Jiu Zhao repeated Ying Luo's words, feeling puzzled. "How do I look like a man? Zhu Long is not blind—"
Before she uttered the word "eyes", her eyes met those of Zhulong, who, unable to wait for a response, stretched his head towards the source of the breath. Only then did she realize that the golden vertical pupils, which were obvious dragon features, were foggy and had lost the brightness that should be present under normal vision conditions.
I see.
Jiu Zhao's eyebrows twitched.
The enemy she was fighting was a blind man, a blind man who mistook her for his master.
Then the subsequent development of things will no longer be limited to the worst direction.
"This dragon has been imprisoned in the Sunless Abyss for who knows how long. It's blind and doesn't seem to be in its right mind. Tell me, if I deceive it by using my identity as Wu Shao, is it possible to obtain its submandibular pearl without resorting to force?"
After searching around Zhulong's jaw, Jiuzhao didn't see anything that looked like a bead.
She guessed that in order to get the submandibular bead, even if she didn't dig out its flesh and blood, she would probably have to take some special measures.
With the ready-made advantages of time, place and people, Jiuzhao became interested and asked Yingluo about it.
Ying Luo said cautiously, "The demonic dragons of Mingtan are cunning. After Zhulong rebelled and fell from heaven, he often mingled with them. His character is unpredictable. Your Highness, please be extremely cautious. However, the method you've proposed is a good strategy. What do you intend to do?"
Jiu Zhao's eyes swirled as he hatched a plan. "I know that the songs of the mermaids who haven't ascended to immortality in Yunsheng's lifetime can bewitch people. I wonder if you still possess this ability now that you've become an immortal? Although I've never met Wu Shao, with the aura of phoenix blood and the alluring mermaid voice, perhaps you can trick this long-imprisoned dragon."
After thousands of years of companionship, a tacit understanding has already been formed.
Before Jiu Zhao finished speaking, Ying Luo's long hair suddenly danced without wind.
His earlobes were raised, with thick hair growing out from the edges, sharp and transparent edges, and three narrow clefts behind his ears.
As the gills quietly opened and closed, Jiu Zhao's indescribable sound waves spread out layer by layer.
The volume was not normal for human ears to accept. It was like a series of bewitching ripples, centered on Yingluo, and quickly swept towards Zhulong.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
Jiu Zhao stared at Zhulong's face without blinking.
After a few breaths, the cold, oppressive dragon head suddenly underwent a strange change.
If I have to describe it, it's like a young bird with no branches to rely on, finally finding a nest to live in during the storm.
Jiu Zhao saw an emotion similar to that of a human on Zhulong's face.
Nourishing, trustworthy, and reassuring.
She guessed that Zhulong had fallen into the psychedelic sound released by Yingluo, so she called out tentatively: "Zhulong, it's me."
"My Lord, why do you call me like that?
"You don't call me Ah Zhu anymore?
"Did you escape from the Sunless Abyss to save me?"
Even though he was tightly bound by the cold iron chains, Zhulong still tried his best to move forward, eager to touch the corner of the clothes of the "Wu Shao" in the illusion.
Jiu Zhao was speechless for a second by the extremely gentle self-introduction voice.
How come this relationship seems like that of biological father and son?
She swallowed her saliva, and her face was distorted by the sudden thunder. After a few breaths, she continued to coax him in a gentle tone: "Yes, Ah Zhu, I came out of the Sunless Abyss, but I was seriously injured-"
"how so?"
Zhulong raised his voice, "Did those lackeys from Sanqingtian hurt you?!"
He is a running dog.
His whole family are running dogs!
Jiu Zhao cursed in his heart, but he had to obey on the surface: "Yes... It was the people from Sanqingtian who hurt me. Ah Zhu, I need your submandibular pearl to heal my injuries. Are you willing to lend it to me temporarily? When my injuries are healed, I will lead you to rush out of Wuriyuan and return to Sanqingtian!"
Jiu Zhao felt a little uneasy when he said this.
She wondered if it was too hasty to ask for it, but the Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment on the Mermaid Clothes never stopped.
Maybe it was because Yufeng’s scales had such strong cushioning capabilities, and he was used to that kind of pain, Jiuzhao found that he wasn’t actually seriously injured.
On the other hand, Ying Luo's handsome face, which was originally as white as snow, became even paler.
With his heart pounding, Zhulong was silent for a short while before cheerfully responding, "Can I help my lord by offering the Submandibular Pearl?"
"That's great—"
"I am chained and unable to break free. Please come over here and I will tell you the exact location of the submandibular bead."
