The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#718 - Dragon King Order

Chen Tong was full of fighting spirit, looking like he wanted to wash away his previous shame.

On the other hand, Lu Jing seemed uninterested. After reaching the bow of the boat, he didn't waste words with Chen Tong and said directly, "We're here, let's start the competition."

Chen Tong originally wanted to say a few harsh words to Lu Jing and Xia Huai, or have them say a few harsh words to him, so that he could really show off after he won the competition.

However, Lu Jing's reaction now made it impossible for him to say the words he had prepared.

As soon as he said this, a burst of whispers arose around him.

Unlike the Paper Doll Technique, the Dragon King's Decree was a trick that Chen Tong had recently figured out. He had never performed it before, so no one else had seen it. Therefore, everyone could only guess from the name.

"Dragon King? Is it really a trick related to the Dragon King?"

"Sounds very powerful. But since it's the Dragon King, it should be in the river, but Immortal Chen is standing on the boat, so far away, how can he perform this trick?"

"If it wasn't difficult, where would Immortal Chen get the confidence to challenge those two? He's really going all out to take revenge this time..."

"This trick must be very exciting, even more exciting than the tricks he's performed before."

"..."

The discussions continued, and at this time, Chen Tong had already opened the wooden box in his arms.

However, this time he only opened a small crack in the box, and then reached in and grabbed.

When he took his hand out again, he was holding a section of bamboo pole.

Then Chen Tong pulled the bamboo pole out forcefully, and it turned out to be two feet long, and when he pulled it again, the bamboo pole came out another two feet.

Seeing this, exclamations finally rang out around him.

You must know that Chen Tong's wooden box was only three feet long and two feet high, and it didn't seem like it could fit such a long bamboo pole.

But Chen Tong's magical performance didn't end there.

As if to challenge everyone's common sense, he continued to pull the bamboo pole out of the wooden box, and finally pulled out a bamboo pole that was eight feet long.

The exclamations were even louder now, and everyone could now see clearly that the bamboo pole was actually a fishing rod, with fishing line and a fish hook tied to the end of the rod.

It's just that unlike ordinary fish hooks, the fish hook on the pole was actually straight.

A straight hook... how to fish?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Chen Tong had already thrown the fish hook out, into the river.

And he continued to sit upright at the bow of the boat, holding the fishing rod.

The night wind blew through his clothes, and from a distance, he really had a bit of an immortal demeanor.

After a while, Chen Tong suddenly raised his hand, only to see the straight hook jump out of the water, but there was nothing on it.

The crowd also let out a sigh of regret.

"As expected, it won't work?"

But there were also many people who had seen Chen Tong's performance, and knew that he liked to play hard to get. Chen Tong often deliberately "failed" to mobilize the emotions of the audience. This is also why his performances were so good and always packed.

Sure enough, after returning empty-handed twice, Chen Tong threw out the fish hook again.

And when he raised the rod for the third time, he finally had a harvest.

An old turtle bit the empty straight hook.

Chen Tong retracted the fishing rod, took out a small knife from the wooden box, chopped off the old turtle's head with one knife, and then inserted the small knife into the tail of the old turtle.

Turning it left and right, he finally dug out a pearl.

The pearl was the size of a fist, and it emitted a faint light in the night, which looked quite mysterious.

"Dragon Ball!" someone exclaimed.

Throughout history, many legends related to dragons have also mentioned dragon balls.

There are various theories about dragon balls. Some say that this is a magic weapon used by dragons to create clouds and rain, others say that this is the essence of the dragon's body, which can transform mortals into dragons if swallowed, and others say that this is the dragon's egg...

In short, wherever there are dragons, there will probably be dragon balls.

It's just, why is this dragon ball in the belly of an old turtle?

Chen Tong quickly revealed the answer to everyone.

"This dragon ball was originally placed in the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King sent this old turtle to guard it, but he didn't expect that it would embezzle it, trying to take this treasure of the dragon clan for himself. Unfortunately, it was unlucky and met Chen."

"Now that I have killed the thief, this dragon ball should naturally be returned to its original owner."

After saying that, Chen Tong let go, allowing the dragon ball, which looked quite expensive, to fall into the water.

"Ah, if this treasure is taken to exchange for money, I'm afraid it can be exchanged for at least a thousand gold. With so much money, you don't have to work so hard for the rest of your life," someone lamented.

"That's right, even if it angers the Dragon King, we just won't go into the water in the future." His words immediately received the approval of many people.

However, Chen Tong just snorted coldly, "For us mortals, this kind of treasure is more of a curse than a blessing. Don't lose your life because of temporary greed."

After saying that, Chen Tong took a few steps back, almost to the front cabin.

Just when others thought that he was giving up the performance position to Lu Jing and Xia Huai, unexpectedly, the river suddenly had another change.

I saw fish and shrimp leaping vigorously from the river and jumping onto the deck.

The crowd was in a panic at first, dodging the flying fish and shrimp.

But soon someone reacted and shouted loudly.

"This... this is the Dragon King's reward, the Dragon King is showing his spirit! The Dragon King is showing his spirit!"

Although others were skeptical about the Dragon King's manifestation, they all had to admit that Chen Tong's trick was indeed very successful.

It was more than just successful, it was simply breathtaking!

Whether it was the previous taking the rod from the wooden box, or the straight hook fishing for the turtle, they were all extremely exciting, and these might still be considered within the scope of tricks, but the later taking the pearl from the turtle's belly and the Dragon King's gratitude were truly immortal magic.

Everyone couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could perform such a trick.

No wonder Chen Tong had the confidence to challenge Lu Jing and Xia Huai again.

Chen Tong held the wooden box, raised his chin, and glanced at Lu Jing proudly.

As a result, Lu Jing was looking at Xia Huai at this time.

"Is it that box?" Xia Huai lowered his voice.

"Probably." Lu Jing said, "But now is not the time to deal with this kind of thing. Don't forget that we still have important tasks to do."

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's leave him alone for now. Anyway, we already know his name. Just tell the department directly when we go back."

"That's the only way. What about the competition..."

"You go up and use a little magic to fool him, and let him win." Lu Jing said, "Otherwise, this guy will probably continue to pester us. We don't have time to play with him like this."
