551: Chapter 551 Arrest

"Run!"

Nie Ning had just breathed a sigh of relief when a deafening explosion suddenly rang out beside his ear.

Looking in the direction of Isidor's roar, Nie Ning was scared almost to the point of having a heart attack.

He saw the Bizarre Giant Dragon rely on its massive size to shove Capybara aside, transforming into a missile as it charged straight toward Nie Ning.

Seeing this scene, Nie Ning was scared out of his wits.

White lightning surged all over his body, and with a single spread of his wings, he had already appeared a thousand meters away.

However, Nie Ning was only a Tier 6 Transcendent after all, barely able to reach the level of Tier 7 by relying on Super-Limit Fusion, yet it was still impossible for him to be a match for a Tier 9 powerhouse.

Not to mention that the opponent was also a Tier 9 mutated dragon-type creature.

In just the blink of an eye, the Bizarre Giant Dragon had already arrived above Nie Ning.

The Bizarre Giant Dragon extended its limbs, and before Nie Ning could react, its sharp claws directly pierced through the Corruption armor and dragon scales on Nie Ning's back, firmly anchoring onto Nie Ning's spine.

At this moment, Nie Ning couldn't even transform.

After catching Nie Ning, the Bizarre Giant Dragon grabbed him and plunged headfirst into the water.

Seeing this, Isidor and the other two Tier 9s pursued in the direction where the mutated dragon had disappeared.

However, obstructed by various sea beasts, the three Tier 9 powerhouses only chased for a short while before completely losing the trace of the Bizarre Giant Dragon.

...

The three Tier 9 powerhouses floated above the surface of the sea.

Capybara's expression was gloomy.

For him, he had spent a huge price to create troops for this world invasion, the most important of which was borrowing the Mirror Pupil made by Nie Ning to forcefully elevate the strength of his subordinates.

Although it would drastically shorten his subordinates' lifespans, he could have as many of those subordinates as he wanted, and he didn't care how many died.

But the current situation was terrible.

He had elevated the strength of his strongest subordinates, but this time the encirclement and suppression of the Bizarre Giant Dragon had suffered heavy losses.

Now, lacking the Mirror Pupil made by Nie Ning, he would probably face a shortage of subordinates for a long time to come.

Isidor was no better off, his expression even uglier.

Nie Ning was a part of the deity's plan, and being captured by that mutated dragon now meant his chances of survival were slim to none.

Returning like this would likely face punishment from the deity, and his status within the Nales Church would probably be deeply affected.

Compared to the other two, the Abyssal Succubus was much happier.

"This foul-mouthed kid can be considered to have died a worthy death, after all, not many people can be killed by a Tier 9 dragon."

The Abyssal Succubus crossed her arms over her chest and said with a sarcastic smile.

She had long found Nie Ning displeasing to the eye. Although she really wanted to kill Nie Ning with her own hands, the current ending wasn't bad for her either.

Isidor turned his head and coldly gazed at the Succubus.

The Succubus puffed out her chest with a mocking expression: "What, you want to make a move against me?"

Hearing this, energy trembled around Isidor, strongly implying he might make a move at any moment.

But right at this moment, Capybara stepped in between the two: "That kid was only captured; he might not be dead yet. Let's look for him again."

Of course, despite saying that, the possibility of Nie Ning surviving was not high.

However, his losses were already enough; he was just waiting to kill that Bizarre Giant Dragon to break even, and he definitely didn't want his efforts to go down the drain at this critical juncture.

As he spoke, Capybara even gave the Succubus a wink.

The meaning was already very obvious: in the face of interests, anything else was not worth mentioning.

And Nie Ning seemed very important to Isidor, which was their breakthrough point to utilize the other party's power to get rid of that Bizarre Giant Dragon.

Otherwise, if the other party got pissed off and left, it would be almost impossible for the two of them to win under the world's suppression.

Although there were other ways, it would take much longer.

Isidor didn't speak, just coldly glanced at the Succubus and Capybara, then directly led his subordinates diving into the water to continue searching for Nie Ning's figure.

...

Ten thousand meters deep in the sea, in a zone where sunlight could not be seen, a boulder several thousand meters wide floated quietly in the seawater.

At this moment, a blue light lit up in the deep sea, rapidly approaching the boulder.

Illuminated by the blue light, a deep passage was revealed on the boulder.

The Bizarre Giant Dragon passed through the tunnel, came to a spacious cave filled with purple glowing crystals, and then used its forelimbs to forcefully fling Nie Ning deep into the cave.

Nie Ning struggled to stand up, looking at the slowly approaching Bizarre Giant Dragon with a hint of panic in his eyes, his body involuntarily retreating backward.

But soon Nie Ning was forced to a position against the wall.

Fresh blood oozed from his back, but Nie Ning had no time to care; right now, he only wanted to escape this place as soon as possible.

Right at this moment, blue light flickered in Nie Ning's mouth, preparing to use Dragon Breath to break open the wall and escape.

But before he could execute it, the Bizarre Giant Dragon had already pounced forward, directly pinning Nie Ning beneath its body.

The Bizarre Giant Dragon extended its slender, barbed tongue and licked Nie Ning's cheek.

Feeling the stinging pain coming from his cheek, Nie Ning's heart reached the absolute extreme of despair; afraid that this time he truly couldn't escape...

Facing this kind of creature at the top of the food chain, there was simply no possibility of escaping.

The Bizarre Giant Dragon opened its bloody maw and slowly approaching Nie Ning...

...

Twenty days later.

On the island composed of pitch-black matter.

Isidor stood at the edge of the island with an ugly expression.

Having searched for so many days, let alone Nie Ning's figure, they hadn't even found that mutated dragon.

For some unknown reason, that mutated dragon clearly possessed supreme strength, yet it seemed to have vanished without a trace like it went missing.

Moreover, judging from the situation at the time, they were clearly at a disadvantage.

Although that time was just to probe the bottom line of the mutated dragon, the actions of the mutated dragon back then left people somewhat baffled.

"Are you really going to leave? We can split one-third of the benefits from this venture with you; you just need to help us deal with that Tier 9 sea beast."

Right at this moment, a muffled voice sounded.

The tall Capybara walked over from behind Isidor.

"Hehe, do you think I don't know what you and that Succubus have been doing recently?"

Isidor's voice was slightly cold as he slowly turned his head to look at Capybara.

"On the surface you're helping me look for people, but in reality you're intentionally provoking another Tier 9 sea beast, and you actually expect me to help."

Changing the subject, Isidor turned his head to look at the calm sea surface.

"I advise you both to leave this place, because our people will be coming over soon, and by then..."

Nie Ning's matter naturally could not just be left unsettled.

Furthermore, he hadn't received the deity's oracle, so he could only contact the Nales Church to dispatch more personnel over.

As long as there was the slightest possibility of him being alive, they had to find Nie Ning, so as not to affect Lord Deity's plan!

Capybara looked at Isidor's back, a flash of cold light inevitably crossing the depths of his eyes.

"Once we kill that sea beast and seal off this world's spatial barrier, let's see how you leave then, and how you bring people over!"

But for now...
