A New Dragon Life

Just as the Iron Armored Dragon was feeling smug, believing it had the entire situation under control, a meticulously planned reversal quietly unfolded. The two Fire-Scaled Trident Pigs of lord-level strength, which had been standing loyally by the Iron Armored Dragon's side, suddenly narrowed their eyes as if waking abruptly from a deep slumber. Their bodies trembled slightly before they erupted with astonishing speed and power, instantly changing direction and lunging fiercely at the Iron Armored Dragon.

"BOOM!"

The movements of the two Fire-Scaled Trident Pigs were as fast as lightning. Their bodies streaked through the air like trails of scorching fire, striking directly at the Iron Armored Dragon's vital points. Caught off guard, the Iron Armored Dragon's massive frame was too slow to react, leaving it to watch helplessly as the two lethal figures closed in.

"CRACK! CRACK!"

The air was filled with the harsh sound of metal colliding. The razor-sharp horns of the Fire-Scaled Trident Pigs acted like the keenest blades, mercilessly piercing through the Iron Armored Dragon's thick armor at the site of its wounds. Blood gushed from the gashes, staining the dragon's once-chilly scales red and signaling that the turning point of this battle had arrived.

The Iron Armored Dragon let out bursts of pained roars, its fiery red pupils filled with disbelief and rage. It never imagined that the Fire-Scaled Trident Pigs, which it had always regarded as loyal subordinates, would betray it at this very moment. Its body struggled violently, attempting to break free from this sudden restraint, but its injuries were too severe, and its strength was no longer what it once was.

Liu Yun stood in the distance, watching everything quietly without the slightest ripple in his heart. He had long anticipated this outcome, as everything was according to his plan. Using high-tech methods, he had silently infiltrated the Iron Armored Dragon's herd, secretly placing key monsters like the Fire-Scaled Trident Pigs under his control. At this moment, these powerful combatants that once belonged to the Iron Armored Dragon had completely turned against it, becoming the key to Liu Yun's victory.

"Hmph, I only need to use a chip to control one beast general, and I can use it to continuously manipulate other beast generals. How can a dull creature like you hope to fight me?"

At this moment, Liu Yun moved, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he arrived before the Iron Armored Dragon. He looked at the hill-like creature with great satisfaction, while the monsters under the Iron Armored Dragon's command collectively knelt to welcome their true master.

By sacrificing two early-stage lord monsters, inciting the Iron Armored Dragon's subordinates to rebel, and setting up a diversion, he had finally managed to subdue this foolish dragon.

The disbelief in the Iron Armored Dragon's eyes gradually transformed into despair and unwillingness. It finally understood that the enemies it had been sensing all along were the very ones it had once considered its most loyal subordinates. In this moment, it felt unprecedented frustration and humiliation, but everything was beyond saving.

However, it was now severely wounded, and having taken the full force of an attack from two early-stage lord monsters while completely defenseless, even it could barely withstand the damage; blood flowed like a small pond.

Little Red descended from the sky, circling in the air while carrying a small box. She hadn't shown her face during the brutal slaughter earlier; she was like Liu Yun's lover, only lending a hand when there were benefits to be had.

Liu Yun respected this Little Red. She hadn't been implanted with a chip, so she wasn't a puppet, but a partner—perhaps even the heroine of this book.

"You've brought the goods, so why don't you hand them over!"

Liu Yun shouted. The Firebird Little Red landed gracefully beside him. Her wings flapped, stirring up a warm breeze, and her bright red feathers shimmered with a dazzling luster in the sunlight like a burning flame, as if she found Liu Yun's impatience slightly amusing.

The box fell directly to the ground. He quickly opened it, and sure enough, a delicate syringe lay quietly inside, the tube filled with miniature, liquid-state chips.

The Iron Armored Dragon lay on the ground, its massive body trembling from its severe wounds. Those once-fiery pupils had lost their former luster, leaving only eyes filled with despair and resentment. It watched helplessly as Liu Yun approached step by step, unable to offer any resistance.

Liu Yun arrived before the Iron Armored Dragon, looking down at it from above, and said coldly, "It's good that you know how you lost; at least you'll be an informed ghost. Of course, I won't kill you!"

With that, the syringe in his hand pierced the Iron Armored Dragon's wound without hesitation, slowly injecting the chip.

As the chip was injected, the Iron Armored Dragon's body suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it were undergoing some painful and strange transformation. A moment later, its eyes began to turn hollow, and the aura on its body became completely different from before—a sense of emptiness that came from being thoroughly controlled and losing one's self.

This was the beginning of the Iron Armored Dragon's new life. The surrounding ground had long since become riddled with holes from the earlier battle, and Liu Yun even treated the Iron Armored Dragon's wounds with medicinal herbs. It slowly climbed to its feet and let out a roar, submitting at Liu Yun's feet.

Liu Yun looked at the Iron Armored Dragon. Its teeth appeared particularly ferocious and massive in the sunset's afterglow, each one like a meticulously crafted blade, shimmering with a cold, metallic luster. They were originally terrifying weapons used to tear apart prey and intimidate other beasts, but now they had lost their original wildness and edge due to Liu Yun's intervention.

With the precise operation of the high-tech tools in Liu Yun's hands, two massive teeth slowly detached from the Iron Armored Dragon's lower jaw, crashing onto the ground with a dull thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.

He only needed these two large teeth; he wouldn't dig out the rest. The Iron Armored Dragon's teeth could grow back continuously, so this wasn't a major issue, at most resulting in a loss of combat power for a period of time.

"From this day forward, you will no longer be the Iron Armored Dragon that only knows how to kill and conquer, but a force in my hands—a partner I can put to use." Liu Yun's voice was low and powerful, his words filled with unquestionable authority and determination.

The Iron Armored Dragon slowly lowered its head, as if tacitly accepting Liu Yun's arrangement. Although its body remained massive and fierce, it now possessed a newfound, tamed docility.

Later, he would continuously harvest the dragon teeth; this was essentially ecological farming, a form of sustainable resource utilization.

Liu Yun also collected the dragon blood that had pooled like a small pond into containers, sending two puppet monsters to carry them away. This stuff was extremely precious dragon blood that could be taken back to be sold for money!

Little Red wouldn't do the heavy lifting, simply spreading her wings to fly ahead and lead the way. Liu Yun headed home, having captured the Iron Armored Dragon alive in a single day.

The sunset gradually dipped below the horizon, painting the earth in a layer of gold. After Liu Yun left, the Iron Armored Dragon slowly stood up. Although its gait was slightly unsteady, the aura of dominance and majesty seemed to coalesce once more upon it. It would continue to live in the Stadium, as would its subordinates.

Meanwhile, outside the tents, fifteen-year-old Ruby, the blonde foreign girl Yang Xiaolong, the ninja Blacka, and the young miss Xueni were all dumbfounded. Two massive dragon teeth, a large water tank of dragon blood, and the monsters obediently carrying it all—everything indicated that Liu Yun had likely accomplished something incredible.

"So, did he actually succeed? This couldn't possibly be something he stole, could it?"

Yang Xiaolong shouted, but Liu Yun had no intention of paying her any mind. He was only thinking that this mission had concluded perfectly and it was time to return to the base.

Liu Yun couldn't be bothered with these four suspicious people; he had already unilaterally eliminated all of them!

However, these few people still hitched a ride on his Ghost Fighter to the Jiangnan base. On the plane, they remained restless, chattering incessantly about going to the HR Alliance Mall to shop. Since they would be living there in the future, they needed to buy many things, which left Liu Yun, who was piloting the plane, looking thoroughly impatient.
