Horror Camgirl - Ch. 158: I'm Still Alive, How Can You Die?
Fang Xin's face twitched, his fists clenched tightly as he battled internally.
This Moonlight Grass grew in China, it belonged to China, but now it was about to be snatched away by people from South Korea.
As a Chinese person, his conscience could not accept this.
But he desperately needed money. If he couldn't come up with the money in three days, he was doomed. The loan sharks would definitely kill him.
He gritted his teeth and turned away, pretending not to see.
Suddenly, one of the bodyguards brought by Mr. Park said, "Sir, it seems there's something in the lake."
"What could be in there? Isn't it just a big snake? Don't bother me. If it dares come out, just shoot it full of holes!" Mr. Park scolded the bodyguard, his eyes fixed on the Moonlight Grass, filled with greed.
As long as he got this Moonlight Grass, he could cure his father's illness. The family's business empire would then belong to him, and in the future, he could sell one clump of Moonlight Grass each year—a fortune waiting to be made.
Hahaha, he was destined to climb the rich list!
The bodyguards watched the frozen lake warily. Beneath the transparent ice, something black seemed to swim past.
One of the bodyguards took a couple of steps closer to get a better look when suddenly, a massive black creature, a Black Flood Dragon, burst through the lake's surface. It leaped into the air, swallowing the bodyguard in a single gulp.
The Black Flood Dragon soared at least ten meters into the air before diving back into the icy waters, sending a huge splash flying.
In just a single second, a skilled bodyguard had died without a trace.
"A dragon! It's really a dragon!" The bodyguards were terrified and fired their guns at the hole in the ice.
After a volley of gunfire, the lake fell silent once more.
The silence was terrifying.
Was that dragon dead?
Boom!
A sudden loud noise shattered the stillness. The Black Flood Dragon broke through another part of the lake's ice, racing across the frozen surface like a black wave. It rushed forward, its jaws opening wide to swallow two more men in one bite.
The remaining bodyguards went mad, firing wildly, but their bullets left only shallow scratches on the Black Flood Dragon's scales.
The creature reared up in front of them, its eyes glowing red like lanterns, its tongue flicking in and out as if tasting the air.
At the same moment, Mr. Park was focused entirely on the Moonlight Grass. He had no eyes for anything else, shouting angrily at his men, "Didn't you bring grenades? Use them! I refuse to believe that this big snake isn't afraid of grenades!"
Gathering their courage, the bodyguards removed grenades from their belts, pulled the pins, and hurled them all at the Black Flood Dragon.
Boom, boom, boom!
Several explosions rocked the area, and blood sprayed from the Black Flood Dragon.
Everyone was ecstatic—it actually worked!
They were on the verge of cheering when, in the next instant, their smiles disappeared.
Although the Black Flood Dragon had been injured, its combat prowess hadn't diminished. Instead, it was even more enraged. Its eyes now glowed an even more menacing red, filled with malice and fury.
Before anyone could react, the creature suddenly opened its mouth, exhaling a chilling breath that instantly froze the bodyguards into ice statues.
Mr. Park, who had been focused on the Moonlight Grass, had not noticed what was happening. Just then, his subordinate finally uprooted the Spiritual Plant. Mr. Park laughed in excitement, "Hahaha, this Moonlight Grass is mine now!"
Fang Xin, terrified beyond reason, had collapsed to the ground, his legs too weak to support him. He couldn't even muster the courage to run.
Mr. Park turned around, only to be confronted by the sight of a massive, upright Black Flood Dragon.
The Black Flood Dragon stood as tall as a three-story building, its body as thick as two men could reach around. Its blood-red eyes stared straight at him.
He froze, his scalp tingling with fear.
How could such a massive snake exist?
Swallowing nervously, Mr. Park glanced around with the corners of his eyes, then grabbed the nearest of his men—the one who had helped dig up the plant—and violently shoved him toward the enormous snake.
The Black Flood Dragon opened its mouth wide and swallowed the man in one gulp. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mr. Park turned and ran.
As the unlucky digger disappeared into the Flood Dragon's stomach, his outline became visible beneath its scales, even his terrified expression perfectly clear.
The Black Flood Dragon devoured several people in a row but still wasn't satisfied. It turned and chased after Mr. Park.
I had been watching all this unfold, but seeing that even Mr. Park was about to be eaten—despite how selfish and despicable he was—he still held the Moonlight Grass.
I was about to intervene when Yin Shengyao stopped me.
"Not yet. Wait a little longer."
The Black Flood Dragon was incredibly fast, reaching Mr. Park in the blink of an eye. Just as it opened its mouth, ready to swallow him, Yin Shengyao said, "Now! Shoot a ball of fire into its mouth."
I quickly formed a hand seal, pointed forward, and a ball of fire shot out, accurately hitting the Black Flood Dragon's mouth.
The Black Flood Dragon let out a sharp screech, writhing in pain. Yin Shengyao lunged forward, climbing along its back to reach the dragon’s head, and fiercely smashed his fist into its eyes.
Black blood splattered everywhere, and both of the Black Flood Dragon’s eyes were ruined, instantly cutting its combat power in half.
It screamed in pain, spewing out freezing mist continuously. Everywhere the mist touched was covered in frost.
“Watch out!” Yin Shengyao yelled at me.
A blast of frost headed in my direction, and I immediately leaped from the tree, sprinting behind a large rock just in time. The frost blast hit, turning the entire tree into an ice statue.
Yin Shengyao kept pounding on the Black Flood Dragon's head with his fists, but its hide was incredibly tough, and he couldn’t get to its weak spot.
I panicked, hurriedly opened the "Heaven" Live Stream Room, and heard Cloud Fairy's voice once again: “Wow, little girl, your luck is just off the charts. Exotic Beasts all along your path! This Black Flood Dragon is quite good—at least two hundred years of cultivation. Its whole body is a treasure. If you kill it, you'll make a huge profit.”
I quickly asked, “Fairy, its hide is so tough—how do I kill it?”
“This is easy. Exotic Beasts above the second level all have elemental attributes—nothing but earth, metal, water, fire, etc. This Black Flood Dragon is an ice type, and ice is actually a mutation of the water element. According to the five elements, earth conquers water.”
Earth?
I squinted slightly, brushed away the snow, revealing the dark soil beneath.
The winter soil had frozen hard, so I injected Spiritual Energy into the Peach Wood Dagger, digging out a sharp earthen stick, testing it in my hand—it was tough.
At this moment, the Black Flood Dragon was thrashing wildly, nearly throwing Yin Shengyao off. I bit my tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the earthen stick. Pushing off with my toes, I lunged toward its vulnerable spot.
This strike was the third move from the "Hero Sword Manual."
Ten steps, one kill, without a trace.
I had practiced this move before, but it had never succeeded. Now, at this life-or-death moment, only the power of this move could ensure a lethal blow.
No hesitation!
I channeled all my Spiritual Energy into the earthen stick, moving like lightning.
The tip of the stick shone with a bright white light and pierced the Black Flood Dragon’s vulnerable spot accurately.
The tough snake skin split like paper, the stick drove deep into its flesh.
“Gah!” The Black Flood Dragon let out a heart-wrenching shriek.
I gritted my teeth, yanking the stick back. Black blood gushed out, drenching me.
The Black Flood Dragon collapsed to the ground, Yin Shengyao slid down its back, landing in front of me, laughing: “Seems like we’re fated to fight snakes together—every time we work together, we end up killing a giant snake.”
I remembered the incident in the cave on Snow Island and my face turned pale.
Wait, why was my face turning pale?
I touched my skin—it was freezing.
The chill seeped into my bones, cold and piercing. My body weakened, collapsing to the ground, my arms wrapped tightly around myself as I shivered uncontrollably.
“Yuan Junyao?” He lifted me up and found that I was as cold as ice—a huge human-shaped block of ice.
“Oh dear, I forgot to mention,” Cloud Fairy said, “The blood of this Black Flood Dragon is also highly beneficial. It’s extremely cold, penetrating to the bone, but it can temper your tendons and bones. If you endure it, your strength will advance to the next level.”
The condition was, you had to endure it.
“What happens if I can't endure it?” I asked, teeth chattering.
“Well…” Cloud Fairy sounded guilty, “It’s probably best if you don’t know.”
I was speechless—Cloud Fairy, you’re really setting me up here!
Yin Shengyao immediately took an Elixir Pill from his bag and fed it to me. The Elixir Pill seemed to be something that radiated heat, making me feel slightly better.
But I was still unbearably cold. Every bone felt like it had turned into an icicle—freezing and painful.
“Junyao, hang in there.” Yin Shengyao patted my cheek.
I grabbed his arm and said, “Am I going to die?”
“No, you won’t die,” he said, holding me tightly, resting my head against his shoulder.
I murmured softly, “I... I can’t die yet. I haven’t avenged my brother, I haven’t killed you.”
He paused for a moment, then said, “Right. You want to kill me, don’t you? I’m still alive, so how can you die?”
Meanwhile, Mr. Park and that Fang Xin had long fled, disappearing without a trace.
He carried me back to the small cabin, started a fire, and laid me down beside it, covering me with every blanket available.
But the cold was coming from my bones, so these measures didn’t help at all.
I trembled even harder, a thin layer of frost forming on my face.
He fed me a few more Elixir Pills, and perhaps it was because of them that I managed to survive. Otherwise, I would’ve frozen to death.
My hands and feet began to turn purple and black. He took off my shoes and warmed my hands and feet with warm water, his head lowered, eyes filled with worry and anxiety. Seeing him like this made my heart ache slightly.
If… if only those things in the past had never happened, how great that would have been.
