Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 107 Only me, Zhang Qiling, only me!

The heart of the Azure Dragon is located deep within the flesh and bone on the inner side of its left forelimb. The outermost layer is covered by the reverse scale, which is normally no different from ordinary scales. It only becomes prominent when it encounters people or things that can stir its emotions.

Looking back, Yan Huai couldn't remember how many times his Achilles' heel had changed, but this time was different; this time it was his own choice.

The sharp dragon claw pierced through the skin of Yan Huai's heart, causing his heart to contract and resist uncontrollably. He suppressed the discomfort of the physiological reaction and waited for the moment when blood would gush out from his heart.

However, misfortune never comes singly. A dark red arc of lightning suddenly fell from the oppressive clouds above, striking Yan Huai, who was in a brief period of weakness after having his heart's blood extracted.

Upon seeing this, Yan Huai's vertical pupils narrowed slightly. He was about to lead Zhang Qiling to change their location when he suddenly realized that he could not move at all, and even his body's reactions had become extremely stiff.

what happened?

Yan Huai's pupils contracted slightly. In desperation, he could only raise his dragon tail to directly meet the arc of electricity.

Roar--

With a painful dragon's roar, blood seeped from Yan Huai's mouth, dripping down his beard and onto Zhang Qiling's cheek, smearing the latter's face and making it look messy.

The dragon's tail, which had withstood the attack from the front lines, instantly lost its luster on its bluish-black scales. The muscles beneath its skin convulsed violently without any sensation, and only its bones retained the shattered pain that sent shivers down the spine.

Perhaps sensing the danger signals from the outside world and the painful situation Yan Huai was enduring, Zhang Qiling, who was surrounded by the dragon's body, suddenly twitched his eyelids, and his fingers trembled...

In a daze, Yan Huai seemed to hear someone speaking, like Zhang Qiling, but not quite, until the last hiss of the voice...

"Master, it's me! Quickly withdraw your spiritual power... Leave Zhang Qiling's consciousness to me..."

Qi Yu's voice was also quite weak, but Yan Huai didn't know where it was. He just subconsciously looked down at Zhang Qiling in his arms, then decisively shook his head and refused.

Since the ghost golden sheep incident, Zhang Qiling has been in a coma, and Yan Huai has been taking care of him the whole time without relying on anyone else. This makes him feel at ease and also gives him a sense of enjoyment.

But the situation is unclear now, and only by protecting him can Yan Huai's emotions be stabilized. So no matter who offers to help him, Yan Huai will refuse, because he only believes that he is the only one who will risk everything to protect Zhang Qiling. No one else will do it.

Qi Yu sensed what Yan Huai was thinking. Feeling guilty but helpless, he could only cooperate with Yan Huai to speed up the absorption and delivery of the heart's blood.

A pale white glow emanated from Zhang Qiling's forehead and quickly enveloped Yan Huai's dragon body...

Before the next dark red arc of electricity fell, a white, shimmering light suddenly shot out, darting into the small yet powerful arc of electricity as if going to its death. Although it did not block or neutralize it, it only weakened a part of the attack of the world's rules, but this was already a great help to Yan Huai at this moment.

However, to avoid having his tail completely burned to ashes, Yan Huai still let his relatively hard back take the hit. He wasn't smart, but that was the only way.

Thus, the lingering pain that Yan Huai felt turned into an attack where a sharp blade pierced his body. Yan Huai, finding a bittersweet glimmer of hope, thought: This isn't so hard to accept...

Seeing Yan Huai struggling to suppress the blood churning in his throat, Qi Yu felt that if he had a heart, it would be clenching with pain right now—damn those bullshit rules in the book! You wait until your master recovers the key memories of Qinling, then you'll be crying and kneeling down, singing your suicide song!!!
