"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Smash, smash, smash!"
"What the hell? Who was demolishing buildings in broad daylight?"
Early the next morning.
Luo Feng, in his Dragon King state, was awakened by the sounds of bulldozers and wall-breaking machines.
The commotion sounded exactly like the noise made when the dilapidated houses in his hometown had been demolished.
Thus, the Dragon King reluctantly opened his eyes.
Then...
"Damn!"
"Was this some massive excavation site?"
"Were they trying to rescue me?"
What kind of scene was this?
There were countless pieces of construction machinery, along with many workers carrying hammers and sledgehammers.
There were also researchers in white coats, holding strange listening devices.
They were carefully clearing away the stones from the upper layers of the valley.
"Everyone, be careful!"
"According to infrared imaging, that thing underground is alive and breathing!"
"The Tower Master has given the order: anyone who dares disturb the Dragon King will pay for it with their life!"
There were no fools in this world.
In fact, during yesterday's livestream.
Qiangu Dongfeng had received two reports.
The one released to the public was a topographical survey map.
It had successfully revealed that there really was a giant dragon beneath this valley!
And it was unimaginably enormous.
The other set of data came from infrared imaging.
The results showed white vapor emerging from the dragon's head at a steady rhythm.
As if it were sleeping deeply...
But throughout the tens of thousands of years of Douluo Planet's history.
There had never been any record of such a thing.
Even the legendary Golden Dragon King had supposedly only reached several thousand meters at its greatest length.
"Hehe, Third Brother, come here!"
"Help me take a picture!"
"Forget it, Xiao Le, you take one for me!"
Just as the people from the Pagoda of Spirit were working with their heads down.
Seven energetic young people dressed in Shrek Academy uniforms somehow appeared among them.
One of them was a girl named Xu Xiaoyan.
She fluttered about like a colorful butterfly.
Wearing a floral dress and holding a camera, she kept taking selfies.
She even called for her companions to join her.
This youthful, beautiful girl.
Her skirt fluttered as she exposed two fair calves.
Under the morning sunlight, she looked utterly captivating.
This appetizing sight did not merely draw the workers' attention.
Even the newly awakened Dragon King trapped underground could not take his eyes off her.
"Gulp!"
"What kind of heavenly beauty was this?"
"Could such a beautiful girl really be here for me?"
As a fan of Douluo Continent.
Luo Feng had naturally read the comic adaptation of Douluo Continent III.
Among the Shrek Seven Monsters.
His favorite had not been the male lead, Tang Wulin.
Instead, it was Xu Xiaoyan—innocent and romantic, gorgeous, and above all, sweet-natured.
If he could win over a girl like that.
She definitely would not demand a 388,000 bride price from him.
Nor would she force him to buy a house and car in the city.
When she spun around.
Luo Feng even hoped a mountain wind would blow through and lift the little beauty's skirt a little higher.
"Achoo!"
Perhaps he was grumpy from waking up.
Or perhaps the dust raised by the construction crew outside was too thick.
But the Dragon King could not help sneezing!
"Whoosh!"
But that was no small matter.
He was a Dragon King measuring ten thousand meters long!
Even with thick layers of rock and mountains separating him from the surface.
That sneeze reached the ground like a raging storm.
"Ah!"
By a twist of fate, the scene Luo Feng had fantasized about appeared.
The sudden storm.
Caught Xu Xiaoyan completely off guard.
Fortunately, she was one of the Shrek Seven Monsters and reacted quickly.
Just as her skirt was about to fly completely up.
She forcefully pressed down the crucial area in the middle with both hands.
But the sight looked just like the classic shot of the American actress Monroe.
The fluttering skirt pose depicted on those posters!
Though it was only a fleeting glimpse.
It was still breathtakingly stunning!
"Damn, so white, so..."
Luo Feng's praise seemed to become thunder rumbling aboveground.
It made the little beauty on the surface curse in irritation.
"What kind of crazy weather is this?"
"I haven't even taken my pictures yet! Why was it raining?"
Xu Xiaoyan pouted and stamped her foot.
Tang Wulin and the other boys hurriedly gathered around.
Shielding this little princess from the wind and rain.
This scene made the Pagoda of Spirit higher-ups nearby turn green with envy.
"What are you doing? What are you doing!"
"This is a top-secret construction zone designated by the Pagoda of Spirit!"
"Who allowed people from Shrek Academy to enter?"
A Pagoda of Spirit supervisor dressed in black armor rushed over in a panic.
He tried to drive the students out with barricade tape.
But were the Shrek Seven Monsters people who could be easily bullied?
"Oh? A top-secret construction zone?"
Xie Xie clasped his hands behind his head and whistled.
"That wasn't what Tower Master Qiangu said during yesterday's livestream!"
"Didn't he say all factions were welcome to investigate together?"
"What? Did the Pagoda of Spirit want to keep it all for itself now?"
The black-armored supervisor was immediately left speechless.
"Y-You're twisting words!"
"This place could collapse at any time. Leave immediately!"
However, the Pagoda of Spirit's clearing operation had already completely failed.
Because the sound of the air tearing apart came one after another!
"Rumble!"
A deafening sonic boom suddenly erupted overhead.
Twelve dark-gold supersonic fighter jets hovered in the air.
Immediately afterward, dozens of blinding beams of light descended from the sky.
"The Hall of God of War is conducting official business. All unrelated personnel, stand aside!"
Accompanied by a stern, authoritative shout.
The Vast Sea Douluo led a group of Hall of God of War powerhouses and crashed down onto the ground!
The overwhelming pressure of a Titled Douluo directly sent those Pagoda of Spirit supervisors flying.
Before the black-armored legion Qiangu Dongfeng had stationed here could react.
A vast cloud of dust rose at the far end of the horizon.
Rows of heavy armored vehicles bearing the emblem of the Federation's Supreme Council.
Rolled over like a torrent of steel.
"The Federation Special Exploration Team has been ordered to take over this area!"
An unquestionable official ultimatum rang out from the loudspeakers.
"Members of the Pagoda of Spirit, please cooperate with the Federation's investigation!"
And that was not all!
As violent spatial ripples spread through the air.
Those reclusive great clans of Douluo Continent also rushed over upon hearing the news!
The void tore open, and all kinds of ornate flying Soul Tools flashed into view one after another.
"That old fox Qiangu Dongfeng wanted to swallow this dragon vein whole?"
"Dream on!"
"This Star Dou Great Forest is not the Pagoda of Spirit's private backyard!"
For a time.
This originally remote and nameless valley.
Became packed to the brim in an instant.
Apart from these great clans.
Major online platforms and famous top streamers had also begun livestreaming from the outskirts.
[Guys, your Nana-chan has bravely arrived at Dragon Valley. I just saw a Red Mecha.]
[My brothers, Old Wang is back. I dare bet all of you that there's a living Soul Beast underground.]
[Darling, could you send me a sports car? My high heels are worn out from running around to livestream this for you, and my feet hurt so much.]
Damn!
Faced with this scene, it was not only the Pagoda of Spirit that was dumbfounded.
Even the Dragon King buried deep underground was utterly stunned!
He had also caught a very unpleasant smell.
It was like spoiled hot-and-sour rice noodles.
According to the original description, there was only one kind of person who could emit such a smell.
That was an Evil Soul Master...
