The poor girl from the 1970s was forced to kiss by the damp educated youth.

Xi Lang angered the dragon, who then turned and ran up the small hill behind it.

With a sweep of its tail, the dragon sent debris and rocks flying everywhere, shaking the ground and causing the lake water to churn. Chen Zhi had already pulled more than twenty people out of the lake.

Her speed showed no signs of slowing down, and her delicate face, wet with water, became even more unrealistically beautiful.

"Her stamina is just too good, is she even human?" The people at the machine factory were astonished by Chen Zhi.

"Just now you were complaining that she was a woman," Shi Xin said, his tone rather impolite.

The people at the machine factory all fell silent.

Ten minutes later, everyone was pulled ashore.

"Are you alright, sister-in-law?" Shi Xin brought Chen Zhi a raincoat.

"I'm fine." Chen Zhi refused Shi Xin's raincoat. "Are these people still alive?"

"They're still alive, but their condition isn't good. I'll go stop their bleeding first, and your wife can rest for a while." The four men under him had entered yesterday; they arrived late, and their condition was much better than the others.

It's good that he can save his life, otherwise he won't be able to explain it to his family.

Now he only hopes that Xi Lang and Chen Zhi are alright, then he will make this trip—

"Hey, sister-in-law, where are you going?"

When Shi Xin saw Chen Zhi running towards Xi Lang and that thing that he couldn't tell was a snake or a dragon, his expression changed.

"I'll go help."

"If my sister-in-law comes back, there's nothing we can do to help."

"I will protect myself."

Shi Xin could only watch her retreating figure and sigh helplessly.

This time, the four people from the machine factory weren't sarcastic or sarcastic. They had mixed feelings; how could a girl be so brave?

"He's a tough one to deal with!"

I thought he was just a weak human, but I didn't expect him to have some skills.

The dragon's patience was wearing thin, its golden vertical pupils gleaming with coldness. "After I kill those people first, using their resentment and blood to wash away the seal on my body, I'll deal with this Iron Ox, and you too, you stinking Taoist!"

Use resentment and blood to wash away the seal on your body?

Xi Lang pondered for a moment. No wonder these people were trapped in the lake; it turned out that the dragon was behind it all.

"If you want to hurt them, you'll have to get past me first!" Xi Lang blocked the dragon's path.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Roar!

The wind and clouds changed color, and an invisible pressure swept towards Xi Lang. Xi Lang let out a muffled groan, feeling as if the world was spinning.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Chen Zhi came over and helped him up. She glared angrily at the dragon and said, "I'm going to cut it down."

Chen Zhi snatched the sword from Xi Lang's hand, took a few quick steps, and leaped into the air, reaching a height of over ten meters. She precisely mounted the black iron ox, then slid down and crawled under its body. Holding onto the ox's leg with one hand and raising her sword with the other, she used all her strength to stab the dragon below.

Roar--

Another roar.

Chen Zhi's ears were ringing, and warm liquid flowed out of them.

She gritted her teeth, struggled to steady herself, and thrust her sword down again.

She managed to pierce a hole in the seemingly impenetrable defense.

"Damn it, you all deserve to die!"

The dragon tumbled in mid-air, and Chen Zhi was thrown out.

"Zhizhi!"

Xi Lang caught the person, and the two rolled to the ground together.

Before the two could get up, the long tail lashed out, bringing a strong wind that distorted Chen Zhi's face.

If that tail were to strike a person, they would be either killed or maimed.

It's over, there's no escaping it.

With a bang, Chen Zhi felt a force of impact as Xi Lang held her in his arms, blocking the attack from the dragon's tail.

She heard a cracking sound coming from Xi Lang's bones, and her heart jumped. Could it be broken?

Chen Zhi turned around abruptly, only to hear Xi Lang say, "It's nothing."

The next second, the dragon's tail appeared again.

Xi Lang grabbed a handful of yellow talismans and threw them away.

With a loud rumble, the yellow talisman exploded, tearing several holes in the scales of the tail and revealing the flesh and blood inside.

Enraged once more, the dragon charged forward, its massive black iron ox protruding from its back.

"Get out of the way!"

Chen Zhi pushed Xi Lang away, then grabbed the black sword and charged forward again.

Xi Lang continued to take out talismans and threw them specifically at the dragon's tail.

The sky was like a fireworks display, one after another, exploding with a loud boom.

Chen Zhi leaped and bounded, harassing the dragon with her sword. She was fast and quick-witted, and remarkably, she seemed tireless, making the dragon extremely bothered.

Especially the talisman, which blew it away painfully.

Aside from the time it was suppressed and sealed away, when has it ever been in such a sorry state!

Damn it, they all deserve to die!

"Iron Ox, you've oppressed me for a thousand years, and you still won't let me go?"

"White Dragon, go back to the lake, stop struggling."

"fart!"

"Go back if you want. I'm leaving today, and you can't stop me."

The white dragon, carrying the iron ox, flew towards Shi Xin and the others.

"Your seal is weakening. As long as there is enough human blood and resentment, your power will diminish. Iron Bull, you were created by humans, and humans are your weakness."

The black iron ox remained silent, but suddenly grew larger, pressing the white dragon in mid-air to the ground.

Enraged, the white dragon lashed its long tail at the iron ox on its back.

Chen Zhi frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart; the energy on Tie Niu's body seemed to be weakening.

Xi Lang also noticed this. He told Chen Zhi to step back and threw all his talismans at the suppressed white dragon.

The earth shook violently, and Chen Zhi could not stand steadily. She could only hold her sword to support herself on the ground.

"You can't kill me!"

"Can't kill him!"

The white dragon went mad and actually laughed, "It's raining now, a rainy day, have you all forgotten what I am?"

Chen Zhi looked at Xi Lang, not understanding what Bai Jiao meant.

"It's a dragon, capable of bringing wind and rain." Xi Lang's expression was grave.

Chen Zhi's eyes widened. Was the legend really true?

"You big dummy, do you really think I've done nothing for the past thousand years?"

"You underestimate me!"

"An iron ox meant to suppress floods, you should remain firmly in the water for generations to come, never to see the world again!"

Chen Zhi didn't understand what these words meant, but she sensed danger.

When a rumbling sound came from the sky, she froze. It was thunder!

"It's heavenly lightning summoned by the white dragon!"

"Run!"

Xi Lang led Chen Zhi and ran towards the direction of Waishi Xin and the others.

"Move them out quickly!" Xi Lang shouted.

When Shi Xin saw him in such a panicked state for the first time, he picked up the person next to him and ran out of the valley without saying a word.

Seeing this, the others followed Shi Xin's example and ran away with their backs to him.

Xi Lang grabbed one person with each arm and two others under his arm and rushed out. Chen Zhi followed suit, running with two people in her arms. In the end, she and Xi Lang were the first to rush out.

The rain by the roadside had lessened considerably, and the sky had brightened a bit. Xi Lang placed the person on higher ground and continued to go in to rescue others.

Chen Zhi followed closely behind.

Shi Xin was panting heavily, but he gritted his teeth and kept up.

The four people from the machine factory were the last to arrive.

"We can see the road outside now, should we go ahead?"

"Why would we leave? We've come this far, saving lives is the priority!"

Thunder rumbled and struck the iron ox, illuminating the entire sky.

The iron ox in the middle of the valley had been cleaved beyond recognition, and the white dragon was in no better shape, its scales charred black. But it didn't care at all; its vertical pupils gleamed with excitement and agitation.

Chen Zhi thought that if it weren't for the iron ox suppressing it, would this white dragon have transformed into a dragon god and flown to the sky?

But are there really gods in heaven?

Chen Zhi didn't understand. She followed Xi Lang and carried people out of the valley again and again. By the time they got to the last one, the iron ox had turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The aura emanating from Tie Niu completely disappeared.

Is Tie Niu considered "dead"?

boom!

The mountains in the valley collapsed, and the earth cracked open.

"The dragon broke free of its restraints."

Xi Lang stared intently at the direction of the valley, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

"Are we...are we going to die?" Shi Xin regretted it. He shouldn't have come, and he especially shouldn't have called Xi Lang and Chen Zhi over. He thought it was just a ghost wall, but he never expected it to be these legendary, terrifying creatures.

Before Xi Lang could answer, the dragon had already arrived before them, looking down at them as if they were lowly ants.

Finished!

This was the thought of everyone present.

Chen Zhi bit her lip and gripped the black iron sword in her hand again.

If I must die, then I must bite off a piece of flesh from the other person before I die!

Give me the sword.

Xi Lang reached out to Chen Zhi, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

Chen Zhi didn't move.

Xi Lang sighed. "Trust me."

Chen Zhi remained motionless.

Helpless, Xi Lang bit his index finger and smeared it on his forehead. A chilling aura surged from his body, and his unusually dark eyes seemed to freeze over.

Those eyes are so cold!

Chen Zhi's heart clenched. Xi Lang seemed so unfamiliar, yet also so powerful, at this moment.

Xi Lang grabbed the black iron sword from her hand and snatched it away without saying a word. His cold eyes lingered on Chen Zhi's face for a moment, and the next second, he soared into the sky and rushed towards the white dragon.

The rain started again, getting heavier and heavier, blurring everyone's vision once more. Occasionally, they could see the white dragon through the rain, and a splash of dark blue.

At this point, the unconscious people gradually woke up.

"What happened?" someone asked.

"Shouldn't that be a question for you?"

"We don't know what happened either."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Rainwater rushed down from the mountain and gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the water on the road was already more than half a meter deep.

"We can't stay here any longer, let's get out of here," one of them suggested.

The others chimed in, "We should go out first."

"My brother hasn't come back yet, aren't you going to wait for him?" Shi Xin asked anxiously.

"Waiting won't do any good. Staying here will only hold him back. We might as well leave and relieve him of his worries."

That's right, Shi Xin couldn't refute it.

Shi Xin looked at Chen Zhi, "Sister-in-law?"

"Brother Shi, you all go first, I'll stay and wait for him." Chen Zhi looked into the distance. Others couldn't see it, but she could see two "qi"—one white and one black. The white one was Bai Jiao, and the black one was Xi Lang.

To her surprise, the black aura, which was initially faint, has grown stronger and stronger, surpassing that of the white aura.

"Let them go, I'll stay too." Shi Xin decided not to leave either; he had brought the people with him, and he had to take them back.

Chen Zhi was about to advise them, but what came out of her mouth was, "Everyone run! There's a landslide!"

Chen Zhi grabbed Shi Xin and ran away with him.

The others didn't understand what was happening and subconsciously followed behind Chen Zhi. After they had run twenty meters, they heard a loud bang, and the tallest mountain peak collapsed without warning!

Stones, soil, vegetation, and rainwater mingled together and surged down the mountain.

"Don't just stand there, run!"

The water was deep, increasing resistance to movement, which was especially difficult for those who were already seriously injured.

"Give me a hand, I can't run anymore," someone cried for help.

But everyone was too busy taking care of themselves, and the commotion was so loud that no one heard it.

The stone rolled down and was about to hit the last few people.

Chen Zhi let go of Shi Xin and turned back, gritting her teeth.

"Sister-in-law!"

Shi Xin looked terrified. He turned around and saw Chen Zhi bracing the rolling boulder with her hands.

That's a rock weighing over a thousand pounds, with such a huge impact force, how could a person withstand it!

However, Chen Zhi caught it.

"Run! I can only last five seconds!" Chen Zhi's face turned bright red.

The few who were lagging behind glanced back, their eyes red, and gritted their teeth as they sped up.

Five seconds later, Chen Zhi let go and darted to the side along the rock.

The stone continued rolling down the road until it was finally stopped by another stone on the road.

"Sister-in-law, run!"

Shi Xin shouted from a distance.

Chen Zhi glanced back at the mudslide behind her, took a deep breath, and chased after it.

The mountain road was winding, with big mountains connecting to small ones. Chen Zhi and the others ran over one mountain and came to another, where the mudslide was blocked behind them.

Everyone was so exhausted that they were panting heavily, their hearts and lungs feeling like they were about to burst out of their mouths. Some couldn't hold on any longer and simply sat down in the water.

"I can't walk anymore."

"I can't walk anymore."

Their vision blurred in waves, and some even fainted.

"What should we do?"

"Help him to higher ground."

"Carry him on your back, I dare not stop."

"I don't want to stop either, this place is too eerie."

"Then we'll carry him on our backs, taking turns."

Chen Zhi looked back, but now she couldn't see anything at all.

"Sister-in-law, are your hands alright?" Shi Xin asked, noticing that her hands were hanging limply, red and swollen.

"It's okay, I can still move, so there shouldn't be any fractures." It's just very painful, and the pain is lingering and hasn't subsided yet.

"Brother Xilang will be alright, let's go outside and wait for him."

"Um."

After walking for another ten minutes or so, the group arrived at the place where Shi Xin had parked his car.

The rainwater almost submerged the entire wheel. Shi Xin tried to start the car, but failed.

"I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?" someone asked.

"I'm hungry too," others chimed in.

"Brother Shi, please share the snacks, biscuits, and candy in the car with everyone," Chen Zhi said.

Shi Xin discovered that these were all return gifts from his wife to Chen Zhi, and the quantities matched, indicating that Chen Zhi hadn't eaten any yet, but was now sharing them with everyone. He said, "When we get back, your brother will bring you another portion."

Chen Zhi gave a perfunctory reply, but her gaze was fixed on what was behind her; there seemed to be no movement there.

While the others were eating, Chen Zhi spotted a familiar navy blue figure, and soon, that cold and sharp face became clear in her vision.

The person who was hundreds of meters away a second ago suddenly appeared in front of her.

"you--"

As soon as Chen Zhi opened her mouth, her chin was grabbed by a large hand, and the owner of the hand stuffed a round object into her mouth.

The smell of blood is so strong.

Chen Zhi felt like vomiting, but a large hand pinched her mouth shut and commanded, "Eat it."
