Chapter 284: Ji Ye, Fish Dragon Dance!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While the gloomy middle-aged player raised the bronze suona, the seawater under the purple-and-red guqin ship that had been rippling under the shock of the soundwaves from the illusionary bronze bells suddenly trembled even harder!
“Roar!”
From under the sea, a Flood Dragon ten meters long that was exclusively made of seawater and carried a large number of colorful fish and shrimps that happened to be swimming beneath the ship, along with a stifled roar, charged at the Musical House players on the deck whose expressions had all changed.
“What’s this?”
“It seems to be a dragon!”
The unexpected change made most of the players on the ship surprised and panicked.
However, the middle-aged suona player, who was the first to react, had already taken a deep breath and pressed his fingers on the holes of the suona, blowing out a piece of music!
“Du! Du! Du!”
The loud and thrilling music came out of the trumpet-shaped tube of the suona.
It was so loud that even the sound of the illusionary bronze bells above the guqin ship was eclipsed.
Splash!
The soundwaves were mixed with a power that could severely shock the souls of living creatures.
The fish and shrimps that were inside the Flood Dragon made of seawater, under the shock of the suona soundwaves, all dispersed and died in the seawater as their souls were knocked out of their bodies!
Even the transparent seawater that made up the Flood Dragon became slightly unsteady under the shock of the soundwaves that contained extraordinary power.
“Roar!”
Yet it showed no sign of dispersion.
Instead, along with the roaring seawater, it jumped to the deck against the soundwaves from the suona and swept the players who were holding the musical instruments!
Clang!
However, at the critical moment, the bronze bells above the guqin ship changed, and the largest of the bells suddenly broke ranks and blocked the Flood Dragon that carried abundant fish and shrimps.
It stopped the Flood Dragon from moving forward!
Ting! Ting! Ting!
“Du! Du! Du!”
The other eight bronze bells sounded even more rapidly and attacked the fish dragon together with the soundwaves emitted by the suona.
Boom!
In the end, along with the music that had reached their climax, the Flood Dragon that was almost ten meters long was shattered into seawater, and a lot of fish and shrimps lost their souls because of the soundwaves.
Then, the fish and shrimps broken by the sound of the bronze bells fell on the ship and dyed the entire deck red!
“What was that…”
“Is it a Flood Dragon that some gregarious fish and shrimps created by controlling the seawater? Were they monsters with dragon bloodlines?”
The other players didn’t have a chance to attack, but they were slightly surprised at the deck of blood and bodies.
Obviously, those players hadn’t seen a lot of martial artists.
Therefore, they mistook the fish for the culprits who created the Flood Dragon.
“Roar!”
When they were about to examine the fish as well as the spoils of war that were glowing on the deck, another dragon roar echoed in the seawater on one side of the boat. A translucent ten-meter-long Flood Dragon that carried a lot of fish and shrimps appeared on the surface of the sea and soared.
“It’s coming again!”
“There’s another one!”
“No, it isn’t one at all!”
What greatly shocked the Musical House players was that the dragon roars were echoing nonstop this time.
“Roar… Roar… Roar…”
After the first dragon broke out of the seawater, another dragon emerged. Both of them were as long as the one that attacked the guqin ship earlier. Under the sunlight, the sea creatures inside the Flood Dragons were reflecting colorful rays.
Then, more and more fish dragons surrounded the red ship that was in the shape of a guqin, as if they were performing the legendary Fish Dragon Dance!
Ting! Ting! Ting!
Almost at the same time when the dragons appeared, the bronze bells echoed again much more rapidly than earlier.
Then, all the nine bells trembled and expanded into a bronze bell that covered the players on the ship, blocking the fish dragons that hovered in the sky and swooped down!
Ting! Ting! Ting!
With the music and the dance, this should be a great entertainment to everyone’s eyes and ears.
However, the Musical House players on the guqin ship weren’t in the mood to enjoy it.
It was because the illusionary bronze bell was clearly no match for the Flood Dragons made of seawater.
A lot of ripples had already burst out when the second fish dragon crashed into the bell, which shivered hard.
By the time the third fish dragon b.u.mped into the soundwave shield, the whole bronze bell seemed to be flickering and collapsing.
“What are you waiting for? Come on and give the man a hand!”
“We’ll all be screwed if those fish dragons reach us!”
The middle-aged player bellowed angrily and blew at the bronze suona that was slightly dim in his mouth.
“Right… We can join our soundwaves and enhance the bronze bell through reverberation!”
The other players realized what they should do after hearing that and used their own musical instruments in a hurry.
“Dum! Dum! Dum…”
The half-naked player holding drumsticks smashed them on the beast hide drum next to him.
Immediately, thunderous soundwaves came out, and demon beasts that looked like bulls appeared on the hide after each drumming.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
When the sheng, which was shaped like phoenix wings, was played, vague dark red flames seemed to be appearing on the metal tube of the instrument!
“Wu… Wu… Wu…”
The player who was playing the black xun caused such an overwhelming sound that the fish and shrimps in the dragons were seething.
They were like tempted beasts that were trying to break the Flood Dragons from inside.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Another seven players were playing the strings on the guqin ship that was more than ten meters long. The whole ship was covered in a sheen, which protected it from being destroyed by the extraordinary powers.
The drum, the sheng, the xun, and the guqin… It seemed as if a concert was going on at the red ship.
The soundwaves from the musical instruments whose extraordinary powers had been triggered congregated and joined the bronze bell.
Immediately, the bell was stabilized under their support.
Thud, thud!
It easily blocked the attack of the fourth diving transparent Flood Dragon.
It even blocked the fifth Flood Dragon in the same way!
“Roar!”
However, under the attack of the sixth Flood Dragon, the bronze bell flickered again.
“Roar… Roar…”
Then, the seventh and eighth seawater Flood Dragons broke out of the seawater at the same time and reached the deck in a dragon roar!
“Orchestration!”
At this moment, someone from the cabin gave an order.
Clang, clang, clang!
Following that, the bronze bell above the guqin ship changed the music it was playing. The new music now carried the vibe of iron and blood.
While the Musical House players were sweating, they quickly changed their own rhythms to match the music so that the illusionary bronze bell transformed.
The illusionary bronze bell turned into a magnificent general who was holding a long spear and riding a tall black horse.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
In the middle of the thrilling yet somewhat sad music, the general made of soundwaves, who wore bronze armor and rode a black horse, waved out his long spear and fought the seventh and eighth Flood Dragons at the same time.
“Huh? The tune of this music… They’re indeed from Chidragon!”
Su Ming, who was on the stealth Mirage Dragon Warship, changed his expression and became serious after hearing the new music.
He had already heard the music once back in a club during college.
“It’s The Overlord Takes Off His Armor, an ancient cla.s.sic. It describes how Xiang Yu broke free when he was ambushed on all sides.”
In particular, he was fully convinced when he saw the black illusionary general fought two dragons on his own and even cut one of the Flood Dragons into halves with his long spear.
“They’re truly from Earth. They can’t be impersonated by aliens.”
It might be possible for aliens to pretend to be human beings, but only real earthlings could play the ancient songs from Earth and even invoke the power of the Overlord who was undoubtedly Legendary in a way similar to G.o.d Summoning!
