CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 220: THE FALLEN RED DRAGON

The dark blue shark commanded the dark waters, halting in mid-air above the island, panting angrily, staring with a fierce expression at the five members of the Royal Court Team.

Knowing he was outnumbered, it suddenly bit Li Qingping’s body with its teeth, carried the broken body onto its back, and then turned away, shooting backward.

The White Crow Travel Brigade was almost there. They were passing through the Whale’s Mouth tunnel and would arrive at the battlefield in a few seconds, at which point there’d be no worry about being surrounded by the Royal Court Team.

"Hey, how much longer can you hold on..." Yaguba said while flying sideways, suddenly halted his words in shock.

All that reflected in the shark’s upright pupils was half of Li Qingping’s body, the other half already burned to a charred black, dispersing like embers in the wind.

"Arrived so slowly... you fool." Li Qingping rasped, opening his mouth.

"Damn... Red Dragon, how did you end up like this? You’re not Shark Shark, Shark Shark can still live after losing half a body, but what good would it do you if you lost half a body?"

"Take this... eat it."

Li Qingping whispered, grasping the dim "Red Dragon Wales" with his remaining right hand, tremblingly offering it to Yaguba.

Yaguba was stunned.

"Are you crazy?"

"You’re the one who’s crazy..." Li Qingping suddenly laughed, his voice hoarse, "Friendship fee, you get it?"

"Are you stupid... making friends with Shark Shark doesn’t need any friendship fee, Shark Shark never charges real friends a friendship fee, Shark Shark doesn’t want a friendship fee..."

Yaguba murmured softly, his eyes suddenly squeezing out tears. In the next moment, he fiercely bit the card offered by the withered, bone-like hand, crushing it and swallowing it down his throat.

Immediately, a series of dark blue system panels popped up in front of him.

[1 "Mutant" generational-level Anecdote Fragment has been devoured, triggering the exclusive cultivation system "Anecdote Glutton" effect, your true body size increases by 40 meters.]

[The Third Body has awakened a new ability—"Dragon Tail."]

[Due to devouring a mutant fragment, "new Anecdote consciousness" has been loaded into the spirit space.]

[Third Body—Eternal Abyss Shark "Yaguba" body size changes: 161 meters → 201 meters.]

Yaguba shouted while flying at high speed, "Red Dragon trash, you can’t just die like this, you haven’t paid tomorrow’s friendship fee yet!"

"Did you hear? Dumbass Li Qingping!"

"What are you doing, why aren’t you responding to Shark Shark?"

However, no matter how much it taunted, there wasn’t the familiar voice responding like usual; instead, Li Qingping’s hand suspended in mid-air slowly drooped, and the entire person gradually lost movement.

Then half of his body slid off the shark’s back, spiraling down toward the sea.

The shark stayed in place, slowly halting its advance, wrapped in water flow as it stopped in mid-air.

It silently watched as Li Qingping’s body fell toward the sea, and at this moment, the whole world seemed to quiet down, the black water flowing around its body cooled bit by bit.

Just then, a prolonged cry suddenly rang out, and the Christmas Sled descended from the sky. Cezar lowered his gaze and caught Li Qingping’s body. He placed the unrecognizable, ruined body onto the sled, and rode the sled towards the island.

The five members of the Royal Court Team raised their eyes, looking at the white-haired teenager with an expressionless face on the sled; his lowered forehead covered his eyes. At this moment, his right index finger held yet another card with orange light streaks.

"Generational-level?" Ruth muttered upon seeing the card, "Aside from ’Christmas Sled,’ does the Third Prince have other generational-level Anecdotes?"

Meanwhile, unforeseen noises behind them caught their attention.

They turned their heads, witnessing a flock of crows surging from the Whale’s Mouth tunnel like a dark cloud, black feathers fluttering down, obscuring their vision.

Underneath a blood-red sky, amidst hoarse cries, the flock of crows gradually dispersed, revealing twelve figures with diverse temperaments on the island. Leading them was a youth in a black trench coat, his gaze deep and fixed on the five members of the Royal Court Team.

"Phoenix."

Not far away, the boy on the sled softly uttered three words, then crushed the Anecdote Fragment in his hand. A fiery feather swept past, a sharp call echoing through the sky.
