Chapter 1900: Chapter 1897: The Exploding Jiaolong Puppet Lair!

Just as Shui Qingling, Huo Fentian, and those over twenty Tianjiao from the Fire Domain were having their encounter, another force emerged from beneath the pool.

“Are there more puppets?”

Lin Bai sensed this surge of force, quickly looked down, and rapidly retrieved several glowing Spiritual Stones from his Storage Bag, tossing them out directly.

The Spiritual Stones scattered around, illuminating the darkness.

At this moment, Lin Bai noticed numerous stone caves nearby, and from within them, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up. Puppet Flood Dragons surged out from the stone caves.

“One, two, three, four… fifty… There are actually one hundred and eight Puppet Flood Dragons at the bottom of this pool, all possessing Cultivation at the Great Perfection Realm.”

Lin Bai said in astonishment.

Although these Flood Dragons weren’t living creatures, their Cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm was still immensely strong, and their defensive power was astounding. If it weren’t for Lin Bai’s sharp sword, he probably wouldn’t be able to easily kill a Puppet Flood Dragon.

In Zhexian City, Chen Liang chuckled lightly, “Well, finally, the commotion of the great battle has awaken all the Puppet Flood Dragons within the Flood Dragon Den.”

Zuo Hao also smiled and said, “Originally, they killed two Puppet Flood Dragons and obtained over two hundred Tribute Items, then they should have left. Too bad, it will be quite difficult for them to leave now!”

“These over one hundred Puppet Flood Dragons are not to be trifled with!”

Zuo Hao said with a cold smile.

Deep beneath the pool, Lin Bai saw over a hundred Puppet Flood Dragons emerging from the stone caves and his face turned rapidly pale.

Over a hundred Puppet Flood Dragons gathered together, emitting a terrifying aura.

Roar—

At this moment, a Flood Dragon charged directly at Lin Bai.

“Get lost!” Lin Bai fiercely commanded, striking with his sword, causing the attacking Flood Dragon to fly off, yet failing to shatter the Puppet Flood Dragon with a single strike.

Before Lin Bai could recover, he saw other Puppet Flood Dragons rushing toward him simultaneously!

Lin Bai immediately channeled Spiritual Power to resist the successive onslaughts of these Flood Dragons.

At this moment, Huo Fentian and Shui Qingling were also startled by the sudden appearance of the Flood Dragons at the pool’s bottom, and they spoke in unison: “There’s so many Puppet Flood Dragons!”

“If we kill them all, we could likely obtain quite a few Red Pearls.”

Huo Fentian said excitedly.

Feeling a bit unwilling, Huo Fentian looked at Shui Qingling and said, “Shui Qingling, why don’t we settle our grievances another day? With so many Puppet Flood Dragons here, you want them, right?”

Huo Fentian knew that continuing the fight with Shui Qingling might be futile, so it would be better to devote their energies to dealing with these Puppet Flood Dragons to obtain many Red Pearls.

Hearing Huo Fentian’s words, Shui Qingling’s beautiful gaze shifted slightly toward the dense mass of Puppet Flood Dragons appearing, her eyes showing a mischievous glint, and she said, “Alright! Let’s fight another day!”

Speaking directly, Shui Qingling channeled Spiritual Power and attacked a Puppet Flood Dragon, shattering part of its scales with powerful force, but failing to eliminate the Puppet Flood Dragon.

Seeing this, Shui Qingling’s face showed a trace of surprise. Her powerful strike didn’t even kill the Puppet Flood Dragon!

“How is that possible?”

“My full-force strike couldn’t kill a single Puppet Flood Dragon.”

Shui Qingling said in confusion, “But I just saw that Sword Cultivator easily killing these Puppet Flood Dragons, almost with just a couple of sword strikes each!”

In surprise, Shui Qingling looked toward Lin Bai. She had seen him, almost effortlessly, dispatching a Puppet Flood Dragon with two or three sword strikes while she, considering her strength far superior to Lin Bai’s—he had only reached the Eighth Level of the Yangshen Realm, whereas she had Great Perfection Cultivation—was astonished at the strength and defense of these Puppet Flood Dragons.

Ordinary Tianjiao couldn’t defeat a Puppet Flood Dragon in a short amount of time.

Shui Qingling’s eyes widened as she looked at Lin Bai in the distance and coldly thought to herself, “The reason he can easily kill these Puppet Flood Dragons isn’t because they’re weak, but because his Sword Skill… is too powerful!”

Lin Bai also noticed Shui Qingling’s gaze, and slightly lifted his head to look towards her.

However, Lin Bai currently had no intention to settle scores with Shui Qingling, as there were a hundred Puppet Flood Dragons here, causing him concern as well.

After several successive strikes, Lin Bai managed to kill a Puppet Flood Dragon.

After the Puppet Flood Dragon shattered, many Red Pearls were left on the ground.

But Lin Bai couldn’t retrieve these Red Pearls, because as he approached, another Puppet Flood Dragon charged at him, preventing him from obtaining the Red Pearls.

“Damn it!”

Lin Bai looked at the Tributes right before him but couldn’t get them, his heart filled with anger.

“Young Master! We simply can’t get these Red Pearls!”

“These Flood Dragons seem endless, as soon as one is slain, another rushes in, and they scatter the Tributes.”

Warriors from the Fire Domain also noticed this.

Whenever they killed Puppet Flood Dragons, others rushed in to separate them from the Tributes, preventing them from collecting them.

Lin Bai looked around at Huo Fentian, the Warriors of the Fire Domain, and Shui Qingling facing this problem as well; after defeating Puppet Flood Dragons, they could not obtain Red Pearls!

Huo Fentian shouted with anger: “Fools, since there are Puppet Flood Dragons blocking you, then kill them all to get the Tributes!”

“Kill them!”

“These Tributes belong to us, the Fire Domain!”

Huo Fentian led the Tianjiao from the Fire Domain into a powerful assault on the Puppet Flood Dragons.

They had a large number of people, enabling them to kill Flood Dragons rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, dense clusters of thousands of Red Pearls appeared under the pool, emitting an alluring glow, yet they were protected by Puppet Flood Dragons, preventing Lin Bai and others from easily obtaining them!

The number of Tributes at the pool’s bottom grew larger and larger, approaching over three thousand!

Now not only Shui Qingling, but Lin Bai too had his breath taken away, yearning to get hold of these Tributes. If obtained, Lin Bai could directly enter the Second Floor.

Shui Qingling now looked at Lin Bai and said, “Big Brother, if we keep this standstill, neither side will gain anything!”

Lin Bai looked towards Shui Qingling…
