The wings were petrified, and half of Tiamat's body was paralyzed.
This numb feeling is still spreading, and the flesh and blood on the petrified wings are surging, as if something is about to break out of the body.
But as the fish monster was pierced through the head with an arrow, things got better.
But the power of petrification remains undiminished.
Tiamat in the sea did not panic. On the contrary, the redness in her eyes became more obvious, as if there were flames burning.
Its ferocious nature was fully aroused. It opened its mouth and bit into the body of the fish monster, devouring its flesh and blood crazily.
The blood melted into the black sea water.
The two slowly sank together.
"Isn't he dead?" Xia Yanzhen asked as the tattered replica of the Sky-piercing Bow disappeared.
"eating."
Tiamat replied and concentrated on devouring the fish monster.
"Well, then eat slowly." Xia Yanzhen raised his head and looked at the sky.
As the fish monster died, the surrounding strong winds weakened, but... the blood rain was obviously greater than before, turning into a downpour.
With a simple movement of raising his head, a large amount of blood rained down on his face and slid down his neck.
The Prisoner of Darkness is as always, invulnerable to water and fire.
"What is this, crying because of the death of the fish monster?" Xia Yanzhen muttered, turned back, and opened the cab door.
As he opened the door, rich water vapor suddenly poured in.
"Fire! Wind!"
Liu Wen immediately threw out two talismans to make the room dry again.
Xia Yanzhen closed the door: "It's been solved."
"Why is the rain getting so heavy?"
"I don't know, it might have been caused by the death of the fish monster." Xia Yanzhen said.
"Where's Xiaohong?" Boai asked.
In order to cause necessary trouble, Tiamat was not called a dragon in front of Liu Wen and others.
"It's eating." Xia Yanzhen said, "Let's go, don't worry about it, you will catch up with it."
Liu Wen nodded and told the sailors on the ship to return to their posts and sail again.
Without the storm, only heavy rain, the sailing speed would be much faster.
At midnight, the ship successfully docked.
The rain here is lighter than at sea.
But it's not too light, it's still moderate rain, which makes people a little worried.
Everyone put on their hats and raincoats, disembarked from the boat, and went to the Red Lotus Sect stronghold near the dock to rest.
The next morning.
It is still raining heavily outside, and there is more water on the ground than before. If you step on some puddles, you can splash a lot of water.
Xia Yanzhen stood under the eaves and looked at the sky.
In the distant sky, a small black dot broke through the rain curtain and flew over at high speed.
As you get closer, you can see that it is Tiamat.
Its body shape has not changed for the time being, and its originally petrified wings have returned to normal, but there is an eye on it that is open and moving around.
A chaotic atmosphere emanated.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Xia Yanzhen asked after Tiamat fell.
"It's okay, this is the sequelae of incomplete digestion." Tiamat looked a little tired, "Just give me a few days to completely digest it. Moreover, it will grow to the next stage by then."
Although Tiamat is built like an ox, in terms of growth stage, it is still a young dragon.
The next stage is the young dragon, and its strength will increase again.
Correspondingly, after it grows into a young dragon, it will make another dragon power determination.
But there's nothing to worry about, Xia Yanzhen won't be affected anyway.
After a morning of preparation and renovation, everyone set off on the journey to the imperial city.
Because the blood rain was too heavy.
Liu Wen was very cautious and did not choose to ride on horseback, but "took out" a large enclosed carriage.
Over the course of several years, the blood rain will not remain the same, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes getting smaller.
When traveling, you can't always be lucky and don't encounter heavy rain, so you will naturally come up with some better-enclosed means of transportation to deal with it.
Ordinary people may not have the ability. If the Red Lotus Sect doesn't have corresponding things, it would be too incompetent.
The Red Lotus Sect is still very good.
Everyone sat in large carriages.
There are "eaves" extending out over a large area outside. Unless there is a strong wind, even if it rains heavily, you will not get wet if you open the doors and windows of the carriage.
Accordingly, the carriage is quite heavy.
It requires a lot of horses to pull it, and the speed of progress is not fast.
The two keys that require speed the most have been obtained, so there is no need to be in a hurry now.
Spending a few more days on the road will have little impact.
The imperial city of the Lilong Dynasty was located in the center of the island. It was built against a mountain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was a rather majestic city.
The royal palace is at the highest point in the city, magnificent and decorated with gold and red.
The imperial city is also extremely prosperous.
Of course, this was the situation in the past, and now, the imperial city is in a state of depression.
As the center of the Lilong Kingdom, the Imperial City is the place most seriously affected by the Blood Rain.
The city, where the people of Lilong Kingdom gather, is relatively safe.
In light rainy weather, you can still move around the city relatively freely and safely.
In the city, mermaid monsters rarely appear - unless someone cannot handle it and suddenly mutates.
The mermaid monster is isolated outside the city, and people live in the city.
It has the flavor of a "modern apocalypse", or in other words, a game.
The city is a safe zone, while the wild is full of monsters.
The imperial city of Lilong Kingdom is different. There are also a large number of mermaid monsters inside it.
The imperial court built a high wall to seal off the mermaid monsters in an area of the imperial city.
Try to isolate it from where people live.
The entire imperial city was divided into several parts.
Part of it is a safe area similar to an ordinary city. You can go out and walk around, and generally you will not encounter danger.
Part of it is the barrier area, which is the buffer zone between the safe area and the area where the mermaid monster is blocked.
Try not to pass by if you can, but if you can't, pass quickly.
Mermaid monsters will appear occasionally in this area.
As for whether it is an alien mermaid monster or one that escaped from the high walls built in the imperial city, we don't know.
Needless to say, the area where a large number of mermaid monsters are blocked is built with a wall over ten meters high to prevent them from escaping.
The last area is the palace.
The palace is equivalent to a small imperial city, with people and mermaid monsters inside.
It all depends on the loyal dog Song Jiao and his people to suppress the mermaid monster.
The mermaid monsters inside seem to be endlessly killing them.
Song Jiao actually spent most of his time guarding the imperial city inside the palace.
The imperial city is in such a bad situation, why not find an opportunity to leave?
The reason is also very simple, because the large area outside the Imperial City is more dangerous than the Imperial City!
With the Imperial City as the center, it was the place with the most people and the heaviest blood rain.
Therefore, the mermaid monster's outbreak is also the most powerful.
The imperial court spent a lot of effort and only managed to trap the mermaid monsters within the high wall. There really was no extra power to clean up the mermaid monsters outside the imperial city.
After several monster sieges, a balance was barely reached.
The mermaid monster rarely attacks the imperial city anymore, but hangs around nearby.
It is also difficult for people in the imperial city to get out.
Although it was built against a mountain, the imperial city was large enough.
Especially in the residences of dignitaries, you can carry out "doomsday farming survival" at home.
Compared with the dangers outside, the dangers in the imperial city seem small.
The large number of mermaid monsters wandering outside the imperial city is naturally not good news for the Red Lotus Sect.
It became difficult to know the situation inside the imperial city.
After investing manpower, material resources and energy, I finally got some control.
At least some important information was found out by the Red Lotus Sect, such as Emperor Long Ai hiding in the secret room.
Where is the key.
Now, all we need to do is break into the imperial city, get the key from Song Jiao, and then enter the secret room to kill Emperor Long Ai.
It took ten days for Xia Yanzhen and others to arrive near the imperial city.
During the second half of the journey, we were attacked by mermaid monsters many times.
The dangers surrounding the imperial city are well-deserved.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar resounded through the sky, and Tiamat fell from the sky, hitting Xia Yanzhen heavily in front of him.
Its size has further grown, and it is already the size of an ordinary Wuling van. Its neck has become significantly longer, and its limbs have become longer and thicker.
There are many places on the body where the scales are raised, forming a diamond shape.
The violent aura of an apex predator is constantly exuding from his body.
"Is the young dragon that big?" Xia Yanzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at Tiamat in front of him.
"Roar!"
Tiamat roared, her dragon head drooped when she raised her head, and she looked at Xia Yanzhen with a pair of red-flame vertical pupils.
The huge dragon head flashed behind him.
The Longwei judgment is over.
Xia Yanzhen was not affected by anything.
"No, my size is bigger." Tiamat said, its size has far exceeded the normal juvenile stage of the red dragon.
"Fortunately, you won't return to the real world, otherwise the villa won't be able to accommodate you." Xia Yanzhen said.
Tiamat's size makes it difficult to live in modern society without being discovered.
If I could really go to the real world, I would have to stay in the remote mountains and forests where there are few people.
The size of the van is only the main part of its body. Counting the wings, limbs, tail, and neck, it takes up even more space.
Even if it is a villa garage, you cannot turn around arbitrarily.
Tiamat raised the dragon's tail and swept it hard, breaking a big tree next to it.
Nodding with satisfaction, it opened its wings and was about to fly into the sky again.
"Wait a minute, there are a lot of mermaid monsters nearby, please help clean them up." Xia Yanzhen called to it.
"Okay." Tiamat agreed.
It actually grows too fast. It has strength, but very little combat experience.
Need to make up for it.
After asking Tiamat to clean up the surrounding mermaid monsters, Xia Yanzhen returned to the convoy.
"How is your Qilin?" Liu Wen asked.
He thought Tiamat was an ugly unicorn.
"I got fat after eating too much. Now I let it clean up the mermaid monsters around and lose weight." Xia Yanzhen said, without arguing that this was a Western dragon, not a unicorn.
This is not important.
The important thing is that Liu Wen looked outside the carriage: "Hurry up. Ever since the big fish monster died that day, the blood rain has never been smaller, and the mermaid monsters have become more dangerous."
Compared to the past, where it rained most of the time, it was drizzle.
During these seven days, the blood rain almost always remained at a moderate level, and sometimes it rained even heavier.
It will rain heavily or even torrentially.
Regardless of whether the changes in the blood rain are related to the death of the fish monster.
They are all reminding the Red Lotus Sect that the killing of Emperor Long Ai is imminent!
