Chapter 969 - 930: One of the Essential Killer Techniques

Just as everyone was at a loss,

the Chairman suddenly, fearfully pointed to a monster crawling out of the sewage in a nearby corner and said:

"The reason I pretended to be dead was because I didn’t want to lure that monster out of the sewage..."

It turned out when the Shadow Assassin kidnapped the Chairman and brought him to this dark corner, he had his pet, the sewer river demon, watch me here...

If I opened my eyes or moved,

this river demon from the sewer would crawl out of the sewage, rush over, and bite me to death.

When Zhao Rong and his team of five heard the Chairman’s explanation,

they immediately understood why the Chairman had pretended to be dead.

If the Chairman hadn’t pretended to be dead, that river demon in the sewer would have rushed over immediately.

The reason the Chairman pretended to be dead was also to buy precious time for Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Beauty Yu Lan, Beauty Xuelian, and his assistant.

At this time, the Chairman brought Zhao Rong and the team of five, retreating while being extremely vigilant, saying:

"Now, if we can run, we’ll run,

If not, get ready to fight this river demon in the sewer..."

At this point, the three beauties and the assistant finally figured out the whole story,

they looked at Zhao Rong, giving thumbs up, and said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, you truly have Eyes of Golden Flame,

I didn’t expect you were right, the Chairman was indeed pretending to be dead..."

Miss Lili curiously asked Zhao Rong, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, how did you discover that my father was pretending to be dead?"

Zhao Rong smiled and told Miss Lili, saying:

"Because I discovered your father used the Breath-holding Technique...

And the so-called Breath-holding Technique is one of the necessary skills for someone pretending to be dead..."

Hearing about the Breath-holding Technique, Beauty Yu Lan was impressed and said:

"I didn’t expect someone like the Chairman, with no fighting strength, to actually know the Breath-holding Technique,

it seems the Chairman is not an ordinary person..."

Beauty Xuelian said:

"For someone like the Chairman, to be wealthy and know the Breath-holding Technique, it really feels like God is unfair..."

The assistant very flatteringly stepped forward to please the Chairman,

he said:

"Chairman, don’t be afraid, with me and Brother Zhao Rong here to protect and rescue you,

we guarantee to 100% get you out of here and then return to Earth, arriving in Xijing City..."

After speaking, the assistant thought to himself:

Acting cool in front of the Chairman might win his favor,

when the Chairman returns to Earth, he will surely reward me handsomely.

After this thought, the assistant chuckled to himself.

However, before the assistant had finished laughing, the Chairman nervously pointed to the river demon crawling out of the darkness, and said to Zhao Rong:

"Zhao Rong, quickly think of a way to deal with this river demon in the sewer in front of us?"

Just as the Chairman was finishing his sentence,

the river demon in the sewer also crawled into the light from the darkness, revealing its true form.

When Zhao Rong and his team of five saw that the river demon in the sewer looked very similar to a giant salamander,

they exclaimed in surprise, saying:

"Is this thing a giant salamander or a river duck?

It’s really hard to tell..."

Miss Lili, with wide eyes, confidently said:

"Father, you’ve definitely got it wrong, this thing isn’t a river demon, it’s a giant salamander..."

Beauty Yu Lan took out an ultra-long-range magnifying glass from her bag to closely observe the river demon in the sewer, then said to everyone,

Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Beauty Xuelian, Chairman, Assistant,

I think this river demon in the sewer is not a giant salamander but something called a lungfish...

Hearing about the lungfish, Beauty Xuelian disagreed, saying,

Beauty Yu Lan, lungfish live in the dry, water-scarce areas of Africa,

moreover, when the rainy season ends and the dry season begins, lungfish burrow into the soil, not eating or drinking,

and excrete a mucus from their mouths, encapsulating themselves,

thus, allowing them to survive for years until the rainy season returns, and the lungfish then revive.

Therefore, I think this river demon crawling out of the sewer is definitely a mermaid that has mutated due to nuclear radiation.

When the assistant heard that Beauty Xuelian described the river demon as a mermaid,

he immediately stepped forward, looking at the river demon, smiled, and said,

Although you are a river demon,

since you are a mermaid,

let us be friends then.

However, before the assistant could finish speaking, the river demon in the sewer immediately flicked its tongue from its mouth, knocking the assistant away.

When everyone saw the river demon’s immense strength from the tongue ejected from its mouth, they were all stunned.

Chairman took a deep breath and reminded everyone, saying,

It seems the river demon mainly uses its tongue as a weapon,

now, everyone should keep a close eye on the demon’s tongue and not relax,

that way, we can ensure everyone’s safety.

When everyone saw the assistant knocked to the ground,

they rushed forward, helped the assistant up, checked his injuries, and said:

"Assistant, are you okay? Are you hurt..."

Suddenly, the assistant coughed up blood, then clutched his chest and said to the three beauties and Zhao Rong:

"Brother Zhao Rong, Miss Lili, Beauty Yu Lan, Beauty Xuelian, the tongue of the river demon in the sewer is definitely poisonous...

Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel like there’s a storm in my stomach..."

When the three beauties saw the assistant coughing blood, they frantically said to Zhao Rong:

"Brother, you must save the assistant..."

Miss Lili pinched the assistant’s philtrum, urging him not to fall asleep, saying:

"Assistant, hang in there, don’t close your eyes, and don’t sleep,

because if you sleep, it’ll be all over for you,

Brother Zhao Rong is now preparing an elixir to save you..."

While Beauty Yu Lan looked at the dying assistant, puzzled, saying:

"That river demon looks very ordinary, why is it that its tongue can knock the assistant to the ground and nearly take his life..."

Beauty Xuelian further touched the assistant’s pulse, feeling his weak heartbeat, and said:

"Brother Zhao Rong, we should use a defibrillator on the assistant,

because I feel the assistant’s pulse has become very weak,

clearly, he suffered severe injuries just now..."

However, just as everyone was worried that the assistant was about to die,

Zhao Rong suddenly stepped forward, slapped the assistant twice loudly across the face, and said:

"Assistant, stop showing off and get up from the ground, join our team, and let’s deal with this river demon in the sewer together..."

When the three beauties saw that Zhao Rong not only didn’t save the assistant but also slapped him twice across the face,

they immediately turned around, glaring angrily at Zhao Rong, saying:

"Brother Zhao Rong, it’s one thing not to save the assistant, but why did you have to slap him twice across the face?

Do you think the assistant hasn’t suffered enough?"
