Brandon's body crashed heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. The earth emitted a loud thud and trembled slightly. The clearing in front of the lair, often trampled by giant beasts, was compacted solidly, resembling a surface forged of steel.
Brandon strode forward, and the giant Jiao watched him with eyes full of awe, keeping a close gaze on him. A black giant Jiao slithered over, seemingly with something to say. Brandon initiated a mental link, and a sharp, metallic sound echoed in his mind.
"King! We've discovered something strange and enormous underwater, but it's impossible to approach. Powerful lightning surrounds the area, and if we get close, we're paralyzed by the electricity, making it difficult to move."
Brandon's interest was piqued, his eyes lighting up with excitement. He asked, "Where exactly is this place? I want to take a look."
"King, we'll guide you there, but you must be extremely careful. It's incredibly dangerous!" the giant Jiao said worriedly. The area was truly terrifying and bizarre. The enormous object was so vast that even their keen eyesight couldn't see its edges, and most of it was buried in the ground.
"Then let's set off now. Lead the way. There's nothing else to do anyway!" For the past few years, Brandon had spent his days either training or mining, a life that was torturous for someone as naturally active as he was. Besides, he was very curious about this discovery. With the presence of a giant god's corpse and such a strange object, Brandon's adventurous spirit was ignited.
Since becoming a dragon, it had been a long time since Brandon had gone on an adventure. Moreover, the number of things in this world that could challenge him had dwindled. The thrill of past explorations had slowly diminished. The giant Jiao's report reignited his adventurous cells.
The black giant Jiao, following Brandon's command, turned and roared variously to the other Jiao. Immediately, five giant Jiaos began to move, their massive bodies undulating as they slithered forward. The combined momentum of the five giant Jiaos caused a stir in the jungle. The entire forest became lively.
Countless massive beasts fled the area. Over the past five years, the jungle's beasts had learned that a new ruler had emerged on the island, a ruler with formidable followers. Those who encountered them never survived.
The giant Jiaos moved ahead, clearing the shrubs, which bent and broke away. The jungle was instantly crisscrossed with five winding snake paths. Brandon flew slowly above, closely following the five giant Jiaos, his presence subdued. If not for the dense white smoke from his nostrils, he might have been mistaken for a giant stone statue.
Brandon now had perfect control over his aura, no longer needing to shield it with his mental power. He could feel the tangible dragon might around him, which he could now manipulate skillfully.
Before long, Brandon and the five giant Jiaos reached the seashore. With a splash, the giant Jiaos dove into the sea. Once in the water, the giant Jiaos grew visibly excited, their massive bodies rolling and creating huge waves, causing the entire sea area to boil, with turbulent waves crashing toward the shore.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Brandon leapt from the sky into the sea, and the giant Jiaos immediately ceased their frolicking, heading toward the ocean depths. The giant Jiaos moved swiftly underwater, their bodies undulating rapidly forward, forming five large white water trails. They advanced rapidly, with Brandon flapping his wings and following behind them. In the water, the giant Jiaos' combat abilities increased severalfold, as evidenced by their speed, comparable to Brandon's.
The surrounding massive marine creatures, seeing the six white trails from afar, quickly fled, their eyes filled with terror. Brandon witnessed a giant blue whale frantically swimming away, its enormous eyes showing fear. Over the past five years, the giant Jiaos had become the rulers of this part of the ocean.
The giant Jiaos swam swiftly, moving further from the island. The sea turned darker, and the entire ocean floor was a deep black, hinting at endless mysteries. The giant Jiaos reached this point and began to dive deeper into the sea.
The light slowly dimmed, and only a faint glow remained overhead. As they went deeper, the surroundings grew darker. Brandon had no idea how long he had been swimming when he began to notice a faint electric current in the water. Over time, the current grew stronger, and the number of surrounding creatures decreased.
Brandon then saw hundreds of deep-sea electric eels swimming lazily ahead. These eels were much larger than usual, nearly half a meter thick and over 20 meters long. Clearly, this environment was well-suited for these electrically charged creatures.
Six white water trails rapidly approached, creating massive waves and strong disturbances that alerted the giant eels. Their long tentacles began to glow, becoming brighter and eventually emitting a dazzling light. The surrounding electric currents converged on the eels' tentacles, growing increasingly bright until the entire sea seemed illuminated by hundreds of giant spotlights. This was a clear warning.
Brandon and his companions didn't slow down, swiftly swimming forward with an overwhelming and unstoppable momentum, pressing towards the group of eels.
With a loud "ZAP," it was as if lightning struck the seabed, illuminating the entire sea as if it were daylight. Hundreds of powerful electric currents surged towards Brandon and the giant Jiaos at lightning speed.
The six massive water trails momentarily paused before charging even faster towards the eels. With a roar, the water surged through the eel group, smashing seven or eight unfortunate eels into pieces. Several others were sliced open by the sharp, massive waves, their bodies floating upwards.
The surviving eels watched the six receding white trails, now mere dots in the distance, with lingering fear. No longer daring to act arrogantly, they dispersed after feasting on their unfortunate companions and left the area.
The electric shocks from hundreds of eels only caused Brandon a slight tingle, which quickly vanished thanks to his body's powerful immunity.
As they swam further, the electric currents grew stronger. Brandon could see the powerful currents rapidly flowing through the water. His body began to feel a tingling sensation, like countless tiny hands gently massaging him, causing him to squint slightly.
The creatures became even scarcer, and Brandon only saw a few bizarre-looking beings swiftly passing by. The peculiar environment endowed the local wildlife with strong immunity to electricity. Most of these creatures could generate electric currents, a biological instinct rather than a trained ability, producing bioelectricity.
Brandon found the place very strange and became increasingly curious about the source of these intense electric currents. After an unknown amount of time, he saw a huge, dark object in the distance, its surface occasionally flashing with powerful electric currents. Even from afar, Brandon could feel the terrifying electricity. The massive currents streaked across like lightning in the sky, causing the entire sea area to flicker.
