Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Dissecting the Flood Dragon!

"There’s an island!"

The deserted island seemed to be at the center of this sea area, Liu Ruyan had also discovered land from another direction.

She only had one arm, and luckily, the major injuries inside her body had already healed. She could only say that her swimming speed was slower, but other than that, she wasn’t too affected.

After emerging from the heavy water, she had concealed herself, and after not waiting for anyone, she was certain that Lu Chen and the others hadn’t followed. Then she swam vigorously and discovered the deserted island.

"First, let’s rest on the shore before anything else! Shang Xiu, I didn’t expect you to actually conspire with Lu Chen to harm me!"

Liu Ruyan swam to the shallow water and stood up, her gaze turning cold.

In her direction, there were only reefs, which were the opposite direction from where Lu Chen had previously been.

However, the island was extremely large, and if one were to walk on foot, it might take days to circle the island.

Inside the deserted island was a vast forest.

Liu Ruyan looked up, "This place is extremely mysterious. It’s better to head to the highest point first. That way, if there’s any danger, I can be the first to discover it!"

Through the forest, one could see the highest point, which was a bare cliff. Even if there were any demonic beasts on the island, that place would be easy to defend but hard to attack.

On the contrary, the area where she was, full of jagged rocks, could have hidden dangers under any reef.

Compared to Qin Yaotiao, Liu Ruyan was far more experienced.

She slightly used a spell to dry her clothes, then took out a few talismans and held them in her hand as she entered the dense forest.

At the same time.

In the fourth direction, Shang Xiu had also finally swum ashore.

She too had set her sights on that high point and, after making preparations, she too made her way through the forest!

Several hours later, Lu Chen finally dragged the huge body of the Jiao snake back to shore.

In fact, he was fast, but the journey was simply too far.

At most, he encountered some schools of fish along the way, but this time Lu Chen observed them and realized these were actually demonic beasts!

Fish demons!

They not only carried demon qi, but when they opened their mouths, one could see their sharp teeth, clearly not to be trifled with.

Although a single fish was at most as long as his arm.

But these fish all moved in groups, appearing in numbers exceeding a thousand each time!

Fortunately, the body of the Jiao snake still managed to deter these fish demons, allowing Lu Chen to successfully return to the deserted island.

After coming up onto the beach, Lu Chen simply lay down completely.

"I’m finally exhausted!"

After catching his breath, Lu Chen then got up. At the Jiao snake’s vital area, the spear was still firmly embedded.

"Let’s see if I can dissect this Jiao snake!"

Lu Chen flexed his muscles and dragged the Jiao snake under the boulder.

He grasped the spear with both hands, infused spiritual power into it, and then pulled hard, extracting the spear along with the entire piece of reverse scale completely!

"Let’s try this spear, see if it can cut through the Jiao snake!"

Looking at the thick scale armor, Lu Chen truly had no confidence in his heart.

The spear tip made from the Dragon Scale Beast’s sharp claws was sharp, but not necessarily able to cut through the Jiao scales.

As expected, when Lu Chen made a cut with the spear, the Jiao scales were not only hard but also slippery, making it impossible to concentrate the force on one point.

"Should I just give up like this?"

Honestly, dragging such a Jiao snake back to the deserted island with great difficulty, only to find out it was unusable, Lu Chen was unwilling to accept this.

He racked his brains and finally thought of a solution!

"The scales are smooth, but there are still seams between scales!"

His eyes lit up, and he focused on the space between two scales!

Then, he gently touched it with the spear, and only after the spear tip made contact did he start to make a forceful slice!

"Shriek—"

A faint but clear sound rang out, and Lu Chen immediately felt as though the spear tip had penetrated slightly into the seam of the Jiao scales!

Instantly delighted, he quickly infused spiritual power into it, hoping to penetrate deeply in one go!

However, he did not expect that with this cut, a powerful burst of demon qi suddenly surged out, not only spraying Lu Chen’s face but also spreading throughout the entire deserted island!

"It’s been dead for so long, and the demon qi is still so strong?"

Lu Chen wiped his face, utterly incredulous, and at the same time realized that those fish must have sensed it, otherwise they would never have retreated just like that!

"It seems that the Jiao scales are quite formidable, even blocking demon qi. If it’s really made into scale armor, it might be an excellent magic artifact!"

Lu Chen was overjoyed and continued to carefully slice along the seams of the Jiao scales!

He didn’t expect that as the demon qi gradually spread, it permeated the entire deserted island!
