The aging asphalt road was suddenly smashed to pieces, with flying chunks of tar and small stones pelting Ye Jiu’s armor, producing crisp crackling sounds.
The tal giant serpent also noticed Ye Jiu’s actions and was about to bend down to swallow him, but Wang Xiyi clearly did not agree—she transford into a fla-encased drill bit, piercing straight through the serpent’s neck and out the other side!
A harsh screech erupted from the throat of the tal serpent—a sound more akin to the violent friction of countless irregular tal objects than a cry of distress, causing even Candle Dragon standing in the distance to instinctively cover its ears.
"It worked!" Wang Xiyi flipped in the air and returned, her huge flaming hand forming a hard slap on the serpent’s head, "It seems really afraid of what you’re doing! It’s risking exposing its flaws just to stop you!"
"That’s right!" Ye Jiu’s spirit lifted, and his Wolf-tooth Spear fell heavily once more!
The cracked road extended nearly a hundred ters outward, revealing the hidden parts of the serpent underground to Ye Jiu. He dragged his Wolf-tooth Spear along the edge of the crack, sprinting forward furiously.
Soon enough, Ye Jiu sensed a spot with an extrely dense aura of mimicry.
"Found it! The seven-inch! I’ve found the ’seven-inch’ of this serpent!" Ye Jiu shouted ecstatically.
"Then finish it off!" Wang Xiyi shouted, simultaneously transforming once more into a blazing Fireball, crashing into the tal serpent’s mouth!
Molten red iron flowed within the serpent, accompanied by a loud boom, the rolling Fireball burst out from the serpent’s midsection, dragging out a large amount of bright, dazzling molten iron!
"Die! You bastard!" Ye Jiu roared, his Wolf-tooth Spear radiating blinding firelight as he smashed heavily onto that spot!
"Boom!!!"
The deafening blast swept through the entire gorge, with the tal serpent’s body stiffening for a mont before dissolving into a shower of iron rain falling from the sky after several seconds.
Countless tal objects crashed down upon the highway, with crisp collision sounds echoing continuously.
"Am I aweso or what?" Ye Jiu raised his Wolf-tooth Spear high over his head and loudly asked over the communications channel.
"Aweso," Candle Dragon responded with a smile, while on the other side, Wang Xiyi had already gathered her wings and descended from the sky.
The tal serpent’s "seven-inch" had been completely smashed to pieces by Ye Jiu’s Wolf-tooth Spear, yet amidst the wreckage, Wang Xiyi faintly sensed a thread of familiar aura.
"How about that, wasn’t my spear strike ridiculously cool... eh? Mr. Wang, why does your expression look so odd? We just took down such a formidable anomaly, shouldn’t you be happy?" Ye Jiu turned to see Wang Xiyi walking over with a frown.
Wang Xiyi ignored him and jumped directly into the crack.
Hard dragon scales instantly covered her hands and arms, and she squatted down, rummaging through the pile of scrap tal.
In no ti, she retrieved an object emitting a faint glow from the pile of scrap tal.
"What’s this? The core of this anomaly?" Ye Jiu was slightly stunned, "By the way, isn’t this thing dead yet?"
"See for yourself." Wang Xiyi seriously tossed the object to Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu caught it and upon examining it, discovered it was a tal tag—commonly known as a "dog tag," but this tag’s material, size, and shape did not match any existing identity badge of any federal military unit, nor did its craftsmanship appear similar, looking instead like "toys" custom-made by so military enthusiasts.
But when Ye Jiu turned the tag over, he was stunned.
On the reverse side of the tag, lasers had etched two words.
A na, one that Ye Jiu was exceedingly familiar with.
Their risky journey was entirely to find the person called by this na.
"Sun Hang".
"This... this couldn’t have been etched by Mr. Wang just now, right?" Ye Jiu stuttered slightly, "This joke isn’t funny at all!"
"I’m not that bored," Wang Xiyi replied, her face dark as she lightly leaped out of the pit, "You’re right, this anomaly’s abilities indeed belong to Sun Hang..."
"Damn, damn, damn..." Ye Jiu stomped irritably, continuously cursing profanely, "This couldn’t be a coincidence, right? Is it possible it’s a nasake? Xiazhou Federation’s population is huge, surely there are at least eighty to a hundred people nad Sun Hang?"
"No, I’ve seen this tag before with Yang Qi." Wang Xiyi shook her head, "Sun Hang’s past has always been a mystery, the Investigation Bureau’s rescue personnel found him with only this tag to prove his identity... Besides his na, we know nothing about his background. Even whether this na truly belongs to him rits a question mark."
At this mont, Candle Dragon approached as well, naturally seeing the text on Ye Jiu’s tag, and sighed, "This is the first ti I’ve felt that an accurate intuition is actually a bad thing."
"Sun Hang... could he be dead already?" Ye Jiu murmured, "Otherwise, his tag wouldn’t appear here, nor would his abilities be on this serpent..."
