NABC Chapter 535
Chapter 535
A ferocious skeletal dragon head emerged from the spatial rift, and the dragon roar just now came from Long Er's mouth.
In Jiang Han's opinion, capturing a maggot that had transformed into a pseudo-dragon of the Black Sea and summoning Long Er would be a waste of talent. However, the Blood Sea Demon Whale couldn't catch up with the maggot's current escape speed. If it escaped into the deep sea, the bounty in the bounty pool would be completely lost.
"You wait here, I'll be back soon." With that, Jiang Han leaped onto Long Er's back, patted its head (which could fit hundreds of people), and gestured for it to chase after the direction the 'Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon' had fled.
The 'Pseudo-Dragon of the Black Sea' is the overlord of the sea and moves very fast, but it is still far inferior to the second-level dragon who has reached the monarch level. Soon, Jiang Han saw the 'Pseudo-Dragon of the Black Sea' constantly fleeing in the sea ahead.
Sensing the danger, the 'Wuhai Pseudo-Dragon' roared and then swung its whiskers, releasing two streams of black electricity towards Long Er.
Faced with the incoming electric current, the soul fire in Long Er's head flickered slightly, as if mocking an ant that dared to attack a dragon. Long Er retracted his left bone wing to block the incoming electric current.
The two bolts of electricity struck Long Er's bone wings, only leaving two charred spots on the jade-like wings, without causing any substantial damage. To punish this ant who dared to provoke the dragon, Long Er directly spat out a mouthful of venomous breath.
The breath struck the back of the maggot-like dragon, corroding most of its scales and flesh. You could even see the ants and maggots that maintained the dragon's shell within the flesh. Keep in mind that this was just a casual strike from Long Er.
If it weren't for the need to extract vaccine tissue from this vile maggot-like dragon, its breath alone would have corroded it to nothing.
"Awooo~~~~!!" The monstrous pseudo-dragon roared in pain. Knowing the difference between itself and the skeletal Nether Dragon, the monstrous pseudo-dragon raised its tail and slammed it hard on the sea surface, creating a thousand-meter-high wave to cover its escape.
"Trying to escape? Is that even possible?" With that, Jiang Han raised his hand and unleashed a destructive lightning bolt compressed to its extreme.
This purple-gold lightning bolt was several times more powerful than the previous Silent Thunder Death Ray. The lightning pierced through the sea surface and struck the wicked maggot pseudo-dragon with precision. In an instant, blood stained the sea red, and the black sea pseudo-dragon was also pierced through the abdomen by the lightning, losing its ability to escape.
"Frozen Coffins!!" Several coffins descended from the sky, stacked like Arhats, suppressing the evil maggot pseudo-dragon in the sea. Countless icy energies penetrated the evil maggot pseudo-dragon, freezing the ants and maggots inside to death.
While dealing with the evil maggot fake dragon, Jiang Han's system points increased by tens of thousands. However, having already possessed millions of points, Jiang Han had long since turned off voice prompts, so the system did not issue any notification.
"Take it with you, we should go back." As he spoke, several ice locks lifted the lifeless, maggot-like pseudo-dragon out of the sea.
As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, Long Er swooped down, grabbed the corpse of the monstrous fake dragon, and flew towards the reef island they had just met.
······
After Long Er threw down the frost-covered corpse of the maggot-like dragon, Jiang Han sent it back to the dimensional space. Mo Fan and the others, who had already anticipated the outcome, were not too surprised. Instead, they went to the corpse of the maggot-like dragon and began to examine it.
"If we take the tissue samples from the evil maggots back and make them into a vaccine, then no one should die from the drowning curse anymore," Mo Fan said, kicking the corpse of the evil maggot pseudo-dragon.
Lingling shook her head and said seriously, "All living things go through an evolutionary process. Even if we obtain a vaccine against the maggots this time, which can temporarily prevent humans from being parasitized by these invisible maggots, as time goes by, one day the maggot population may evolve into another, even more terrifying parasitic monster. At that time, this vaccine will be ineffective."
"Why worry so much? If we wait for new parasitic demons to evolve from these maggots, who knows how long that will take?" Jiang Han waved his hand and said.
Jiang Han wasn't just talking nonsense. The main reason was that it often takes decades or even centuries for a new demon to evolve within a demon race. By then, developing a new vaccine might be easier than it is now.
Demons evolve, and so does human magic, which is constantly developing and innovating.
In this world, neither humans nor demons, nor natural enemies, can be extinct. What is truly extinct are often those races or groups that stop progressing and fail to adapt to their environment.
Although the maggot race cannot be completely eradicated, the vaccine that Lingling extracted this time can ensure that no one will die from the drowning curse for the next few hundred or even several decades.
······
After Lingling extracted the tissue samples for vaccine production, Jiang Han had the Blood Sea Demon Whale take everyone back to the beach in the city.
The vaccine matter was left to Lingling, while Jiang Han, Mu Ningxue, and Mo Fan returned to the hotel to meet up with the others.

Not long after returning to the inn, Jiang Han received a message from the Hunter Alliance. The message was simple: his Hunter title would be upgraded, and he would be able to obtain more privileges and information from the Hunter Alliance.
