Chapter 268 Dragon Shadow
But things obviously won’t go that smoothly!
As soon as the cold water bottle came out of the clouds, the roc bird behind it caught up again, and a pair of giant claws that were at least ten feet long directly clawed at the bottle.
The roc bird was too fast, and the bottle was flying vertically downward, so the range of dodging was very limited. Even though Duan Qing noticed the roc bird’s attack, he still couldn’t avoid the roc bird’s giant claws. The cold water bottle was like a chicken under the claws of an eagle, and was caught in the roc bird’s claws.
For a while, except for Duan Qing, everyone in the bottle couldn’t help showing despair on their faces. It was hard to imagine their fate next!
In such a desperate situation, Duan Qing’s mind became extremely calm. Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, he immediately activated the bottle and began to spit out cold air.
Due to inertia, the roc bird still flew down for a while while holding the bottle. At such a high speed, the cold air sprayed from the bottle mouth was blown to the bottle body.
In an instant, the entire bottle was frozen, and at the same time, the giant claws of the Peng bird were also affected by the cold air. The surface of the claws began to freeze. It made a piercing cry and immediately released its giant claws!
It actually worked!
Duan Qing seized the opportunity and immediately drove the bottle away from the giant claws of the Peng bird and continued to fly to the sea surface below. At this time, it was only a few hundred feet away from the sea surface.
"Ah, what is that?" At this time, Lu Ying suddenly noticed something and exclaimed, pointing at a black dot that appeared on the sea surface in the distance.
Duan Qing glanced at the corner of his eye and found that it was a spirit boat!
Spirit boat!
He suddenly thought of something and immediately manipulated the bottle to move towards the channel of the spirit boat on the sea surface.
The Peng bird also chased after the bottle again, as if it would not give up until it caught the bottle.
The distance of hundreds of feet from the sea surface can be crossed in just one or two breaths at the speed of the cold water bottle, but these one or two breaths seemed extremely long to everyone at this moment. Time seemed to be frozen, making people extremely desperate.
Duan Qing secretly calculated the distance and thought that he should be able to reach the sea surface before the big peng bird caught up with the bottle.
However, just when the bottle was only a hundred feet away from the sea surface, the big peng bird, which was originally dozens of feet behind the bottle, suddenly flashed and appeared several feet behind the bottle in an instant.
Under the desperate look of the crowd, the big peng bird caught up with the bottle again, but this time it did not use its huge claws, but directly used its huge beak with a faint glow to hit the bottom of the bottle heavily.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the cold water bottle was directly hit to the sea surface by the huge power of the big peng bird.
Crack! ! !
After the loud bang, a shattering sound suddenly came from the bottom of the bottle, and the bottom of the bottle was actually cracked by the beak of the big peng bird!
This shattering sound was like a demonic sound, resounding through everyone's heart, making everyone terrified. If the cold water bottle was broken, everyone would die without a burial place!
Before everyone could recover from their panic, the bottle had already crossed several dozen feet, and with a loud bang, it smashed into the sea water. However, due to the special structure of the bottle, it did not sink into the water, but floated on the sea surface.
Duan Qing did not force the bottle to sink into the water, but let it break away from the sea surface and fly forward close to the water surface.
The big peng bird did not completely break the cold water bottle with one blow, and it cried angrily, and immediately flew towards the bottle again.
At this time, the spirit boat was also a hundred feet away from the cold water bottle, and it was rapidly approaching the bottle in front.
On the spirit boat, the people on the spirit boat showed strange colors, and the old man who drove the spirit boat slightly pursed his lips when he saw this, but he did not make any move, and let the spirit boat fly forward like this.
In the blink of an eye, the spirit boat had already caught up with the cold water bottle and met the big peng bird that was flying towards the cold water bottle from above. If they continued to move forward, the two would inevitably collide. Compared with the big peng bird, the spirit boat, which was more than 20 feet long, still felt like a small witch meeting a big witch.
However, at this moment, the dragon head at the bow of the spirit boat suddenly emitted a dazzling light. With a terrifying dragon roar, a phantom of a dragon appeared on the spirit boat. The dragon shadow was lifelike and enveloping the entire spirit boat in a coiled state.
The big peng bird was only a few feet away from the bottle and within reach, but as soon as the dragon shadow appeared, it seemed to be frightened and immediately turned around and flew into the sky at a faster speed than when it came.
As soon as the big peng bird was scared away, the spirit boat flew from one or two feet above the cold water bottle, surpassing the bottle and flying towards the direction of the third heaven. The strong wind it brought made the cold water bottle shake violently.
Under Duan Qingzhi's strenuous control, the Jingping did not lose control of its posture.
All this happened in an instant, from the attack of the Dapeng bird to its sudden departure, everyone did not react at all.
After a while, watching the Dapeng bird gradually disappear in the sky, except for Duan Qing, everyone's hanging hearts were slightly relieved, and the despair on their faces gradually faded, but their faces were still very pale.
Everyone was a little confused about Duan Qing's operation!
"Then... why didn't the monster chase!" Lu Ying's face turned pale and she asked with some stuttering.
Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer. He did not know how to explain.
Just now, he was going to enter the water to avoid the pursuit of the Dapeng bird, but after seeing the spirit boat, he suddenly realized something.
The spirit boat has been traveling between the Middle Earth, the Three Heavens, and the Small South Realm for countless years, but he has never heard of any accidents with the spirit boat.
He didn't believe that this was just luck. Even with the Lingzhou, a spiritual treasure-level flying boat, it would probably capsize if it encountered creatures like the giant Kun and the big Peng bird!
Therefore, he thought that the spirit boat had been traveling between the three places for countless years without any accidents, and there must be something special about it. This is why he changed his mind temporarily and approached the spirit boat, hoping to take advantage of the spirit boat's momentum.
Unexpectedly, the big peng bird was really scared away by the spirit boat. I don't know what kind of existence the dragon shadow just now is, but it can scare away the big peng bird!
Do dragons really exist in the world? Why has he never heard of anyone mentioning it in the Three Heavens? The closest monster he has seen to a dragon is only a dragon, but a dragon is not a real dragon after all!
Although they are temporarily out of danger at this moment, everyone in the bottle is not at ease.
Song Ling'er's body trembled slightly, and suggested: "Why don't we go back to Xiaonanjie! Wait until the moon spirit boat comes and then go to the Three Heavens. I don't think old dog Mu Yun will think that I will turn back later!"
Luying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately said: "Yes, yes! Let's go back and wait for the spirit boat!"
The two were obviously scared by the danger of the sea in the bottle!
Duan Qing looked thoughtful when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Su Yutong and Huang Zhi. If they also meant the same thing, then he would follow Song Ling'er's advice and return to Xiaonan Realm before going deep into the Sea in the Bottle.
Su Yutong looked like she was struggling. The danger of the Sea in the Bottle was much greater than she expected. If they continued to cross the Sea in the Bottle, they might all die.
