86: Chapter 86 Danger, Danger!!!

"Rustle... Rustle..."

Just as Lin Yunfei and Yushi were at their wits' end and preparing to look for another way, an extremely faint frictional sound suddenly came from a pile of bone shards in the corner of the grand hall.

"Who?!"

Yushi's gaze turned cold, and a drop of pitch-black xuanming heavy water instantly condensed at his fingertip, ready to be flicked toward the direction the sound came from.

"Wait! Don't move!"

Lin Yunfei grabbed Yushi's wrist, his eyes staring fixedly at that pile of bone shards.

Seen through the gaps of several giant ribs, a dusty, palm-sized shadow tentatively drilled its way out.

That was an extremely ugly-looking scavenger rat.

"A beast without any grade?" Yushi frowned. "How could it appear here? I will instantly annihilate it so that it doesn't disturb the Dragon."

"Don't rush to make a move yet, look at where it's going!"

Lin Yunfei stared closely at that scavenger rat, a trace of a strange light flashing through his eyes.

Under the gaze of the two, this completely powerless scavenger rat actually twitched its nose, strode with its short little legs, and swaggered toward the deepest part of the grand hall—the direction where the Tier 3 Dragon was sleeping!

Its target was unexpectedly a piece of bloody Yao Beast leftover meat by the Dragon's side!

"Is it crazy? That is a Tier 3 defensive Formation; even my Divine Thought would be counter-shattered. If its tiny body crashes into it, it will instantly turn into flying ash!" Yushi drew a sharp breath.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

One meter.

The scavenger rat was getting closer and closer to that dark golden light barrier circulating with ancient dragon-language runes.

Just when Yushi thought that this reckless mouse would be reduced to ashes in the next second, an incredible scene happened!

"Hum!!!"

The moment the scavenger rat's body touched the light barrier, that seemingly indestructible dark golden Formation not only did not erupt with any backlash force, but instead slowly parted to both sides like a layer of soft water ripples!

The scavenger rat passed through the light barrier without any obstruction just like that, drilled directly into the interior of the Formation, crouched on that leftover meat, and devoured it in huge bites!

"How is this possible?!" Yushi widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's not that the Formation failed; there's something strange about the things on its body!"

Two balls of scorching bright light instantly erupted in the depths of Lin Yunfei's eyes. His vision had been strengthened to the extreme by the Creator's Physique, locking onto the scavenger rat's back fixedly.

Beneath the dim fur of that scavenger rat, a broken scale the size of a mere fingernail, flashing with a faint gray light, was actually stuck tightly!

When the scavenger rat passed through the Formation, it was precisely the faint aura emitted by that gray scale that produced a certain resonance with the dragon-language runes on the light barrier, thereby deceiving the defensive mechanism of the Formation!

"I understand!"

"This defensive Formation was set up by the Dragon using its own Origin, and it will indiscriminately shred any external high-energy reactions. However, if one carries the Dragon's own aura on their body, the Formation will judge them as 'one of us' and thus let them through!"

"That gray scale is definitely a waste scale unintentionally shed by this Dragon during molting or battle. This scavenger rat has lived in the dragon nest year-round eating leftovers, and somehow managed to stick this scale onto its back, thus obtaining the 'pass' to freely enter and exit the Formation!"

"Plus, it itself doesn't have any rank, and its aura is weak to the extreme, so even if it were breakdancing inside the Formation, as long as it doesn't cause a huge commotion, that sleeping Dragon wouldn't care about the existence of an ant at all!"

After listening, Yushi's spirit was greatly boosted: "The Main God's luck is simply Heaven-Defying! Now we have a way!"

"Don't rush, wait until it finishes eating and comes out."

Lin Yunfei suppressed the wild joy in his heart tightly, like the most patient old hunter.

After about a dozen minutes, the scavenger rat finally ate and drank its fill, let out a burp, and once again walked with its short little legs, swaying as it passed through the dark golden light barrier and headed outside the grand hall.

"Right now!"

Lin Yunfei's figure flashed, like a black lightning bolt, instantly crossing a distance of dozens of meters.

He didn't even use any Divine Kingdom Law, purely relying on his formidable Physical Body strength to grab the back of the scavenger rat's neck!

"Squeak squeak!" The scavenger rat let out a panicked scream.

"Snap."

Lin Yunfei had no mercy at all. Applying a slight force with his fingers, he directly snapped its neck.

Afterward, he carefully peeled the blood-stained gray scale off the scavenger rat's back.

The scale felt icy cold in hand; although its luster was already extremely dim, Lin Yunfei could still sense a lingering, faint aura of the Dragon Clan Origin from within it.

"The key is acquired."

Lin Yunfei gripped the scale tightly in his palm and turned to look at Yushi behind him.

"Yushi, stay here to provide backup. I will go in alone."

"Main God! This is too dangerous!" Yushi's expression changed drastically. "Even if we have this scale to fool the Formation, what you are approaching is a Late Stage Tier 3 adult Dragon! In case it wakes up midway..."

"There is no 'in case'. This is our only way to get the nine dragons wall."

Lin Yunfei's voice was resolute and decisive, exuding an unquestionable overbearingness.

"My spatial authority far surpasses yours; only I can store the nine dragons wall. If I cannot come out, you will immediately lead the Azure Dragon Guards to crush the jade talisman and withdraw from the Grand Competition!"

Finished speaking, Lin Yunfei no longer paid attention to Yushi's dissuasion. Clutching that gray scale, he resolutely turned around and walked toward the deepest part of the grand hall.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

One meter.

When Lin Yunfei stood before that dark golden light barrier circulating with ancient dragon-language runes, fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of his palms.

"Risk it all!"

Lin Yunfei took a deep breath and slowly pressed his right hand holding the gray scale against the light barrier.

"Hum!!!"

The light barrier flashed violently once, and a terrifying rebound force instantly surged over, almost bouncing Lin Yunfei's arm away.

But immediately after, a wisp of faint homologous aura emitted from the gray scale.

A miracle happened!

Those originally violent dragon-language runes instantly became tame upon touching this wisp of aura. The dark golden light barrier rippled to both sides like water waves, splitting open a crack large enough for a person to pass through.

"It worked!"

Lin Yunfei forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart, and without the slightest hesitation, he slipped sideways into the interior of the Formation.

"Boom!"

As soon as he stepped inside the Formation, Lin Yunfei felt an unspeakably terrifying high temperature and heavy pressure slam onto his shoulders like two giant mountains!

The air here was almost viscous and impossible to disperse; every breath felt like swallowing burning charcoal.

And that Tier 3 Dragon, whose body size was as colossal as a mountain, was coiled less than twenty meters away from him!

"Hoo!!!"

The thunderous breathing sound of the Dragon made Lin Yunfei's eardrums buzz. He could even clearly see that on the dark red scales of the Dragon undulating with each breath, destructive Fire-type Laws were circulating.

Too close.

At this distance, the Dragon could grind Lin Yunfei into minced meat just by casually turning over!

Lin Yunfei gritted his teeth tightly, suppressing the fluctuation of his whole-body Qi and blood to the absolute extreme. He didn't even dare to breathe heavily, like a lifeless ghost, moving step by step, cautiously toward the cyan stone wall beneath the Dragon.

Fifteen meters.

Ten meters.

Five meters.

Lin Yunfei finally arrived at the edge of the nine dragons wall!

Viewed from up close, the shock value of this S-rank Divine Kingdom spectacle was simply beyond addition. The nine true dragons carved on the stone wall seemed as if they would break through the wall at any moment, and that vast and ancient primordial aura caused the Creator's mark within Lin Yunfei's body to tremble frantically.

"Got it..."

An unprecedented fanaticism ignited in the depths of Lin Yunfei's eyes.

He slowly extended both hands, pressing them onto the icy cyan stone wall.

"Creator's mark, open! Spatial containment!"

Lin Yunfei roared frantically in his heart.

"Hum rumble!"

The Divine Kingdom Origin within his body operated frantically, and an incomparably massive, formless spatial vortex instantly enveloped this ten-zhang-high nine dragons wall tightly!

Wanting to forcibly drag an S-rank spectacle into the Divine Kingdom was definitely not an easy matter.

Veins popped out on Lin Yunfei's forehead, and his face flushed red. He felt that what he was pulling was not a piece of stone, but an entire mountain range!

"Get... in!"

Accompanied by Lin Yunfei's desperate exertion of force, the nine dragons wall began to tremble violently.

"Click click click..."

The stone wall slowly detached from the ground, sinking bit by bit into the spatial vortex in front of Lin Yunfei.

Half!

Most!

It was almost successful!

However.

At the very moment when the nine dragons wall was forcibly pulled up and completely detached from the ground!

The originally stable energy magnetic field beneath the Dragon instantly underwent a drastic imbalance!

"Hoo..."

Inside the grand hall, that thunderous, highly rhythmic breathing sound.

Suddenly.

Stopped.

Death-like silence instantly shrouded the space inside the entire Formation.

Maintaining the posture of holding his hands out in the air, Lin Yunfei had already made the nine dragons wall completely disappear into the spatial vortex, successfully storing it into the Calamity Divine Kingdom.

But at this moment, he could not even move a single finger.

An extreme freezing cold spreading from the depths of his Soul instantly froze the blood throughout his entire body.

At this moment, every hair on his body stood on end, his scalp tingled, and an indescribable, spine-chilling sensation capable of causing one to collapse on the spot frantically tore at his nerves.

It felt like in the next second, he would be annihilated! Completely and utterly erased from this world!

Lin Yunfei stiffly, bit by bit, raised his head.

In the midair less than five meters away from him.

The colossal head of the originally sleeping Dragon had somehow already been raised.

A pair of dark golden vertical pupils as huge as two bloody suns, filled with endless brutality, destruction, and cruelty.

Were staring fixedly at him...
