Plucking Teeth from the Dragon's Maw

Before the Great Nirvana period, no animal or beast was worthy of the title "dragon"! Dragons were merely creatures found in myths and legends.

However, after the Great Nirvana period, due to genetic mutations, various animals and beasts evolved into diverse and terrifying monster species. For instance, porcine monsters branched into many types, as did canine monsters, along with feline, rodent, gecko, lupine, and feline monsters, among others!

Beyond these, there were some extremely unique and rare monsters whose evolutionary origins remained unknown. Perhaps these monsters were born due to certain special factors!

These monsters eventually earned the title of dragon from humanity due to their immense strength, and the Iron Armored Dragon was one of them; trying to pull teeth from its mouth was truly no easy task.

Liu Yun had already infiltrated the very center of this port city. He saw that the once-bustling stadium at the heart of the city was now covered in thick dust and mottled, dried bloodstains, having completely lost its former noise and popularity; it had now become a territory where monsters roamed at will.

"Hoo, hoo."

In this silent and eerie space, a massive creature lay prone, its entire body covered in deep cyan scales, resembling a moving hill. With its heavy breathing, two white mists mixed with a foul, fishy stench were expelled from its nostrils, rapidly diffusing and adding a sense of terror and oppression to the abandoned stadium.

The stadium now resembled a bird's nest, providing the Iron Armored Dragon with a resting place. At the same time, many War General-level monsters were resting nearby; combined, they were in no way inferior to a War God-level powerhouse.

"I suspect there are at least a hundred more War Generals around the Iron Armored Dragon. Even without computer assistance, I'm afraid I can't break through!"

From a mountain peak far away, Liu Yun peered at the Iron Armored Dragon through binoculars, secretly beginning to plan his route. One must remember that he was the man of talent who authored the Twenty-Eight Methods of Escaping; how could he act without careful calculation?

In a collapsed corner of the stadium, Liu Yun also spotted two smaller monsters. Those two giant beasts were like walking flames, their bodies covered in fire-red scales that were pure and flawless, without a single speck of other color! On their massive heads, three sharp, curved horns stood upright like tridents, pointing forward and inspiring awe in all who saw them!

Those were low-level Lord-class monsters—the Fire-Scaled Trident Pig. Taking this place would be incredibly difficult, not to mention the two low-level Lord-class monsters assisting from the side. However, if Liu Yun wanted to upgrade his base again, he had no choice but to brave this dragon's den and tiger's lair.

Behind the binoculars, Ruby and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion. Although they were all mid-level War Generals and elites from the HR Alliance, they couldn't help but feel a sliver of fear when facing that legendary Iron Armored Dragon. Yet, the Liu Yun before them looked unremarkable, even giving off a casual and lazy vibe, which made them seriously question his abilities.

"War God Liu Yun, are you certain you want to confront that Iron Armored Dragon alone? Along with all those War Generals around it?" The red-haired girl, Ruby, as the Psychic of the team, spoke with a voice that was soft yet carried an undeniable sharpness. "As far as I know, the Iron Armored Dragon's defense is astonishing; it can barely withstand attacks from an invincible War God, let alone the numerous War Generals acting as its guards."

The blonde woman, who had given herself the Chinese name Yang Xiaolong, expressed her dissatisfaction even more directly: "What exactly is Lady Glinda thinking? Is this the kind of... 'special' War God she sends to assist us?" Her tone was laced with dissatisfaction and sarcasm, clearly expressing great skepticism toward Liu Yun's strength. However, she admired Chinese kung fu, and Yang Xiaolong was a name she took in imitation of Bruce Lee; those who knew her well called her "Brother Long."

Ruby was Yang Xiaolong's younger sister, and at this moment, she couldn't help but tug at the overly aggressive Yang Xiaolong; even if what she said was true, she shouldn't say it out loud!

Blacka lowered her voice even further, warning: "Brother Long, don't say any more. Even if he isn't a War God, he's no worse than us! I heard that Blacka is his lover..."

That was just another rumor. Liu Yun gently lowered his binoculars and turned to look at them with an indifferent expression.

Liu Yun was a War God, the leader of the team, and they were nothing but young girls who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

"My strength is not something you can imagine. As for the Iron Armored Dragon, hehe, everything is under control."

Liu Yun's gaze became exceptionally firm, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory. However, these few people were not about to believe any nonsense about "everything being under control."

The woman holding the straight blade was named Blacka, though she didn't say what her heritage was; she looked like a black-haired woman from Yingzhou. The other woman holding a rapier was even more impressive, introducing herself as a direct descendant of a core family of the HR Alliance.

"I am from the Onassis family, and my name is Xueni. My father and brother are both councilors; as a War God, you should understand what that means, right? I hope to learn your martial arts under your command!"

This person was even more extraordinary, being a direct relative of two councilors. Even Liu Yun was momentarily stunned; the likes of Li Wei were arrogant enough just having War God parents, yet here was a councilor's own daughter, and she was only here to act as his subordinate.

It seemed the HR Alliance hadn't completely cheated him. Liu Yun looked at Xueni; this person seemed to have the appearance of Snow White.

"Are councilor's children very impressive? I think if I were to leave you, you would be torn apart by a beast tide very soon!"

Liu Yun responded with a cold sneer. He was still too lazy to deal with this group of people; one had to know that Liu Yun's future was limitless, and he wanted to become an invincible War God or even a councilor very soon.

Hearing this, Xueni's expression changed, but she also knew that Liu Yun was clearly a difficult person, so she didn't dare to argue too much about it.

Little Red was flying around in the sky. As a monster, it could fly in the air without being suspected by the beast herds. Seeing Liu Yun's War General-level battle pet, these people finally gained a sliver of trust in Liu Yun's identity, though they changed their minds again the moment they saw Little Red fighting Liu Yun for meat.

They first left the hill and then cleared an open space on the outskirts of the city to stay temporarily. In this once-prosperous place, Liu Yun temporarily reined in his desire for a speed-run.

Of course, he still had to curse a couple of times, saying that this dump of a place was a trap and that it was heaven-sent misfortune to have such a powerful Iron Armored Dragon here.

Ruby, who was also a Psychic, was more attentive to Liu Yun. She actually felt this was normal; there were simply too many monsters here, and if they wanted to conquer it, they could only take it slow.

"What? Why do you hate this place so much? It was always meant to be taken slowly..."

These few were all sent to mingle with a War God. In fact, a War God was a resource in itself; as long as one could establish a connection with a War God, even these people with backgrounds would benefit greatly.

Liu Yun was in a dilapidated house, feeling impatient. He thought about just using the assistance of his Machine Race Clone to kill his way in, but that would defeat the purpose of his training.

Until he reached a true War God-level martial arts realm, he would not lift the suppression on himself, so he cursed in frustration.

"Hmph, I just don't want to. If I were to go all out, what could even an Iron Armored Dragon do to me?"

He just felt he had suffered a great loss, having to suppress his impulses to properly hone his martial arts. He couldn't unlock his power, and he was being doubted by these people.

Hearing this, they all let out a snicker. If it weren't for the fact that Glinda wouldn't let them go back, they would have run away long ago!

In the eyes of the four of them, Liu Yun was just a War General like them. The HR Alliance must have made a mistake, and they were just forced to go crazy along with Liu Yun for the time being.
