The air beneath the transparent fingers, which had solidified into a tangible form, was sliced apart by the beast's incredibly sharp claws. Its thick thighs stomped forcefully on the ground, causing the entire mountain to tremble violently.
Roar! !
Unable to dodge, the behemoth assumed a posture of a raging ape supporting the sky, its claws covered in a layer of dark red light as it met the descending fingers.
Rumble!!
In an instant, the mountain peak beneath the giant beast's feet, as hard as iron, collapsed like tofu. The moment the transparent finger fell, the entire body shuddered violently, and under an irresistible and terrifying force, it crashed all the way to the bottom of the mountain.
Roar! !
With the force of a landslide, a colossal beast covered in blood burst out from beneath a mountain thousands of meters high, roaring at Jiang Jing as the mountain slowly collapsed behind it.
After warning Jiang Jing and nearly being crushed to death with a single blow, the raging beast could no longer suppress its savage killing intent. Its bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at the figure embracing Hiratsuka Shizuka in the sky.
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Not bad, you actually withstood that attack. Your talent for greatly increasing your strength, defense, and attack attributes is quite good."
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance. Do you want to come with me? I just happen to be thinking of preparing a gift."
The giant beast, which was ready to fight to the death, was stunned. The ferocity in its eyes subsided considerably, and it looked at Jiang Jing with hesitation, panting heavily.
Jiang Jing looked calmly at the giant beast below: "I've never liked to force people to do things against their will. It seems you've agreed, so let's go."
As Jiang Jing reached out and grabbed, the entire world went black in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes. Then the heavens and earth trembled, and when she regained her sight, she found that the giant beast below had disappeared.
Only then did Hiratsuka Shizuka realize that Jiang Jing had released her and that she was now suspended in mid-air. She immediately began to frantically wave her arms and legs and scream, "Ah..."
"Aren't you supposed to be very brave? Why are you screaming?" Jiang Jing, who was rubbing something with both hands, laughed as he looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka's panicked expression.
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just realized she wouldn't fall, calmed herself down, patted her rather large chest, and glared at Jiang Jing with annoyance: "I'm just an ordinary person, okay? Isn't it normal to be scared when you suddenly find yourself floating thousands of meters in the air?"
"That seems to be true. Then let me give you something to calm your nerves." Jiang Jing said, opening his hand and handing her a bracelet with a small black bead on it.
"This is for me." Hiratsuka Shizuka was taken aback at first, then happily accepted the gift, which looked like an ordinary red string with glass beads attached.
Holding the bracelet tightly to her chest, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Jiang Jing happily: "Thank you, Jiang Jing. I won't be polite then. But why did you give me a gift?"
Jiang Jing smiled and said, "The reason is that we've known each other for a while, and I'll be giving you a little gift as a farewell present later."
At this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka realized that time seemed to be running out, and her eyes darkened. However, she quickly regained her composure, because she could still go find Jiang Jing after going out, so she focused her attention on the bracelet.
At this moment, Jiang Jing continued, "I sealed that big guy inside. It can protect you if you encounter any accidents after you get out."
"However, your strength is too low. Unless you are in mortal danger, do not release it. Otherwise, causing too much commotion will not be good for you in your current state. In addition, you are too weak to control it."
"What, this..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was taken aback, never expecting that the inconspicuous bracelet in her hand actually sealed the terrifying monster from before. Suddenly, she felt the gift in her hand was as heavy as a mountain.
With a struggle in her eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka slowly released her grip: "Jiang Jing, this gift is too precious, I..."
"Alright, this is just a little gadget I made on the spot. Here, drip a drop of blood on it, and I'll refine it for you."
Jiang Jing didn't give her a chance to refuse. He drew a drop of essence blood from Hiratsuka Shizuka's fingertip and dripped it onto the bead. Then, he used his willpower to forcefully refine it for her.
"Alright, from now on, carry this with you at all times. The powerful blood energy emanating from the giant beast inside will constantly strengthen your body through the contract."
"Perhaps the next time we meet, you will have become an extraordinary being by relying on pure and powerful blood and qi. You should know that your physique is actually very poor, and you are inherently incompatible with extraordinary beings."
Looking at Jiang Jing, who was practically calling her a good-for-nothing but was still thinking of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her. Her eyes reddened slightly, and she suppressed her tears of gratitude, saying defiantly.
"Jiang Jing, you're too domineering."
Jiang Jing smiled and shrugged: "There's no way around it. I suffered too much back then and hid for too long. Once there's no danger, I don't want to suppress myself anymore."
"Alright, let's continue." Without giving Hiratsuka Shizuka a chance to ask any questions, Jiang Jing grabbed her waist and rushed into the spatial entrance beneath the collapsed mountain.
After the 89th floor, each floor becomes more expansive and dangerous, with harsh environments filled with various powerful monsters, most of which are level 6, and a few level 7 monsters that travel in groups, which is simply terrifying.
This environment is practically a death sentence for adventurers in this world, because they cannot replenish their energy as quickly as cultivators, nor can they abstain from food and water.
This world relies on a very rudimentary system of divine grace. Even those with the strength of a LV7 or LV8 or LV9, comparable to a three-star Golden Core cultivator, still need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. Their stamina will be quickly depleted once they engage in combat.
Roar! !
At the exit of the ninety-ninth floor, a black dragon, a thousand meters long and with a wingspan of several thousand meters, was a Level 9 creature. It let out a miserable cry and was blasted apart by Jiang Jing's punch in mid-air, scattering blood rain all over the sky.
After slaying the black dragon, which possessed the strength of a Silver Moon Rank comparable to an ordinary god, Jiang Jing looked down at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was clinging to his arm: "Your time is almost up. Do you want to continue to another level or wait here to go back?"
The faint power of fate that had been emanating from her body gradually became active, and Jiang Jing estimated that she would be sent back by the power of fate in about ten minutes.
"Is the next level dangerous with a river view?" This was what Hiratsuka Shizuka was concerned about.
Jiang Jing shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's dangerous for others, but for me it's no more difficult than the previous ones."
Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled immediately, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation, and said, "Then let's go down another floor. I want to see Jiang Jing's heroic appearance as he fights monsters."
"Uh... Hero, my one-sided crushing victory isn't very heroic, is it?" With that, Jiang Jing led her to the hundredth floor, an underground level that no one had ever been to before and that no one had come down to in over a thousand years.
When the two appeared on the hundredth floor, they saw that the vast and boundless world was shrouded in a thin layer of black mist, and a dense, dark magical power surged, filled with oppressive gloom.
The parched earth below was riddled with cracks, from which molten red magma flowed and spewed out plumes of poisonous smoke. In the distance, volcanoes on the horizon were also erupting, creating an apocalyptic scene.
Roar!
The moment Jiang Jing and the other appeared, a black, wingless dragon, hundreds of meters long and with lava still flowing over its body, burst out of the lava river below.
"Get lost." Jiang Jing waved his hand casually, and instantly the LV8 dragon, which was comparable to the peak of the four-star level, exploded in mid-air.
After casually annihilating a black dragon, Jiang Jing let out a long roar. In an instant, rolling, materialized sound waves swept across the heavens and earth, causing the entire world to reverberate and tremble. Instantly, countless giant dragons that sensed his aura soared into the sky from the lava river below.
This world is like a dragon's nest, giving birth to all kinds of dragons that feed on magic and magma, some wingless, some with wings, and some with two or three heads.
Most importantly, even the smallest of these dragons possess LV5 strength, most are LV8, and a few are LV9. If they were placed on the surface, they could destroy the world.
As for those gods, let's talk about them when they can stop that nine-headed black dragon deep within this world.
Jiang Jing glanced around and smiled slightly: "There are many monsters in this world. Today, I will present you with a special farewell banquet."
After saying this, a solid spatial defense field protected Hiratsuka Shizuka, and then in an instant, Jiang Jing accelerated to a thousand times the speed of sound, sweeping across the sky and earth with a rolling destructive shockwave like lightning.
Too lazy to use any other moves or supernatural abilities, Jiang Jing charged straight through the black dragons with a speed and terrifying physique that the black dragons couldn't react to, a destructive shockwave enveloping him as he passed through each and every one of them.
Boom boom boom boom!!
Blood-red fireworks illuminated the dim world. Each firework's extinction represented the death of a giant dragon with a massive physique and immense power, its flesh and blood exploding into bloody foam and burning away in the scorching shockwave.
From high above, one could see a white-blue beam of light piercing through thousands of miles in just a dozen breaths, leaving behind thousands of blood-red fireworks before stopping in front of a nine-headed dragon that was a thousand meters tall and of unknown length.
The reason it's said to be of unknown length is that most of the black dragon's body is buried in the towering crystal wall behind it, and one can vaguely see the surging energy within the crystal wall being devoured and absorbed by it.
Before Jiang Jing could speak, the dragon's nine heads revealed a look of fear, and it growled, "Human, you are very strong. We have no grudge against each other. If you want to go over, I think we can talk."
Actually, the dragon wanted to speak as soon as Jiang Jing came down, because it had noticed Jiang Jing after he entered the forty-ninth floor and then saw him sweeping through the underground labyrinth with overwhelming force.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jing acted too quickly, giving it no chance to react. Before it could even open its mouth, he had already killed all the subordinates it had nurtured over the years using up its energy.
Jiang Jing also looked at the nine-headed black dragon with great interest, and said with interest, "I didn't expect to find two interesting creatures today."
This nine-headed black dragon, whose origins are unknown, is like the Behemoth; due to the rules of the dungeon gods' seal, its cultivation level is only at the peak of the fourth star, preventing it from becoming a god.
However, this dragon not only broke free from the influence of the underground city's power just like the Behemoth, and gained its own consciousness, but also took a shortcut by combining its body with the sealing crystal wall, breaking through its innate limits.
Every living being has its limits. For example, ordinary humans cannot break through the limit of 1,000 kilograms of strength unless they become extraordinary. The same applies to this black dragon, which belongs to the dragon family.
However, nothing in this world is absolute. For example, the Behemoth mentioned earlier broke the limits of life, and in Jiang Jing's eyes, the potential of this Black Dragon far surpasses that of the Behemoth.
If the Behemoth, after breaking through its life limit, had its potential increased dozens of times, making it comparable to a primordial mythical creature, then this nine-headed black dragon, which underwent nine mutations and evolutions, possessed almost nine hundred and ninety-nine times that potential, making it even more terrifying than those primordial gods.
Despite being only at the peak of the fourth star realm, his physical potential was so terrifying that his soul forcibly broke free from the influence of the dungeon due to the feedback from his body, and his combat power was comparable to that of a half-step god.
If it could completely break free from the shackles of the underground city and appear on the surface, it could directly break through to the level of a main god in one breath. Coupled with its terrifying physical body, even if the gods broke the seal, they would be unable to do anything to it.
However, this was not without its price. Having merged its physical body with this layer of crystal wall, it was also bound to the hundredth layer, unable to leave forever.
Looking at this extremely rare nine-headed black dragon that had undergone several mutations and evolutions, Jiang Jing's eyes showed a hint of interest as he said, "Other matters are not urgent; I'm starting to take an interest in you now."
Jiang Jing's casual attitude and gaze displeased the nine-headed black dragon. Its nine pairs of black-gold dragon eyes revealed a terrifying majesty as it growled, "Human, I think I've shown a lot of sincerity."
Jiang Jing smiled faintly: "Of course, if you weren't sincere, you and the wall behind you would have become nothing by now."
After saying that, Jiang Jing waved his hand and said, "Alright, we'll talk about this later."
Because in his arms, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly appeared with a faint gray mist, and a suction force from an unknown space-time acted on her, trying to pull her away.
At this moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka was very calm. She looked deeply at Jiang Jing as if she wanted to remember him, before reluctantly letting go of Jiang Jing's arm: "Jiang Jing, I have to go back."
"Yes, have a safe trip." Jiang Jing said casually, immediately breaking the farewell atmosphere that Hiratsuka Shizuka had just been building up.
Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite exasperated by Jiang Jing's frequent disruptions to the atmosphere, and said irritably, "Jiang Jing, be serious. We're going back to another world, it's very serious."
"What's so strange about going from one world to another? Alright, alright, bye-bye," Jiang Jing said nonchalantly.
"Okay, bye-bye, see you when we get back."
Faced with Jiang Jing's unpredictable behavior, Hiratsuka Shizuya had no choice but to wave his hand in a gesture similar to greeting a classmate after school, before disappearing into the gray mist.
As she left, Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes were filled with anticipation. She was already imagining the scene when she ran to Kyoto to find Eijiro, and she believed that the atmosphere would be very romantic.
After all, they were two young people who would never have crossed paths in their lives. They suddenly appeared in another world and met by chance. Then they returned to their original world, but a bond had already formed between them.
Such an adventure, such a scene, is as beautiful as a fairy tale.
Thinking of this, Hiratsuka Shizuka, unaware that this parting might be the last, couldn't help but smile happily. Then, everything went black and she was sent back to her original world.
……
After school, in the deserted, tree-shaded alleyway at dusk, a gray mist suddenly appeared and then disappeared, leaving behind a beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old dressed in strange clothes.
boom!
The sound of something falling to the ground startled Hiratsuka Shizuka out of her daze, and she was surprised to see that the thing that had fallen to the ground was the backpack that she hadn't been summoned with.
Feeling the familiar peaceful atmosphere of this world, Hiratsuka Shizuka let out a long breath, a look of relief on her face: "I... am I back?"
"Oh, right." Hiratsuka Shizuka remembered something, quickly squatted down, opened her backpack containing textbooks, and took out the latest trendy flip phone she had just bought not long ago.
“4:30 PM on July 3rd! This…” Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned as she looked at the time and date displayed on her phone, which was the time she was summoned to another world.
Unable to understand, she shook her head, then looked expectant, her fingers tapping the keys on her phone as she dialed the number she had silently repeated hundreds of times.
Beep beep!!
"Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service. Please try again..."
Hearing the recorded voice of customer service in her ear, Hiratsuka Shizuka was instantly filled with panic and said in a flustered voice, "No, no, I must have remembered it wrong."
As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka's fingers trembled slightly as she re-entered the number. After carefully checking it over and over again to make sure it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the dial button.
