Looking for You All Day-You're Back in the City?
A Border Defense Force soldier silently took out his phone and called Bai Zhan, who was hurrying over.
"Major General Bai, we found him..."
That was the first thing Bai Zhan heard after reuniting with Zhang Daosheng and turning on speakerphone.
It made Zhang Daosheng and Bai Zhan stare at each other.
"Found him? Where?"
"On... the head of a dragon..." That big brother was practically crying.
A dragon! That was a dragon!
How were they supposed to fight a mutant beast like that?
"A dragon? A dragon your ass! Where would a dragon come from in broad daylight?!" Bai Zhan instantly flew into a rage.
The big brother then switched the call to a video call...
"Major General, I'm not lying to you! It really is a dragon..."
Zhang Daosheng and Bai Zhan were both dumbstruck as they looked at the enormous Wood Dragon coiled above the forest, all four of its limbs ending in three claws.
It lowered its head and looked down at the enormous Wood Dragon, not knowing what it was.
Zhang Daosheng's scalp tingled. How were they supposed to rescue him?
"Um... Teacher, what do we do now?" Bai Zhan swallowed as well.
Judging from its enormous size, this dragon was clearly powerful. But since neither of them was there in person,
they could not determine the dragon's origins. If it really was a mutant beast...
A dragon? A legendary creature like that had to be at least a Blazing Sun Realm existence, right?
And that kid was standing on its head.
"Whether it's a True Dragon or not... Ye Chen... cannot die!"
Meanwhile, Xu Shen, hiding in the shadows, laughed maniacally. "Looks like I won't need to act. But this dragon... it really suits the style of the Beast God Cult. If I could capture a dragon and make it our guardian divine beast..."
A plan formed in Xu Shen's mind. If he reported this dragon's information to the Beast God Cult headquarters, he would definitely be able to rise another step.
Becoming a Black-Robed Envoy would be a piece of cake. He might even become the higher-ranking Red-Robed Envoy.
As he spoke, he took several photos, then hurriedly left Zanghai City and headed straight for the Beast God Cult branch.
Naturally, he was not stupid enough to report to Zhou Zixuan. If he did, Zhou Zixuan would certainly snatch the credit.
Ye Chen looked at the Wood Dragon beneath his feet, the one he had created, and could not help feeling delighted.
"Thankfully, the Wood Dragon I created isn't as ugly as the one created by Thousand Hands Big Dummy..."
To be honest, this could not really be blamed on him. After all, it was a difference in culture.
In reality, the things depicted by ninjutsu were only rough images from one's mind.
It was not as though specific hand seals fixed a specific number. Otherwise, creating ninjutsu would not be called creation—it should be called 'discovering new ninjutsu.'
Ye Chen fixed Spiritual Power beneath his feet and stood steadily atop the Wood Dragon's head. With a wave of his little hand, he shouted, "Go, Wood Dragon! Kill that little kitty for me!"
The Windchaser Leopard was practically crying. What was the point? It was only a tiny Windchaser Leopard...
It had been scared to tears and had already given up resisting...
The Wood Dragon plunged straight down and swiped with one claw.
It seized the Windchaser Leopard in its dragon claw. Then, as a surge of force flowed through it,
the Windchaser Leopard's blood sprayed everywhere.
"Defeated level-six monster Windchaser Leopard. Points +60."
The Border Defense Force soldiers were all staring blankly...
Zhang Daosheng and Bai Zhan, watching the video, were also stunned.
A level-six mutant beast? It had been crushed to death just like that?
Although both of them were at the peak of the Sea-Overturning Realm, killing a level-six mutant beast was also effortless for them...
After finishing all this, Ye Chen controlled the Wood Dragon and sent it deeper into the mountains.
"Major General Bai... Ye Chen has been taken away. Do we... still pursue him?"
Bai Zhan took a deep breath. "You all go back. Leave the rest to me."
As he spoke, Bai Zhan glanced at Zhang Daosheng beside him and nodded.
Then he hurried toward the Lianhai Mountains.
As Ye Chen rode the Wood Dragon and harvested points, he laughed so hard that his mouth would not close.
This was damn near slaughter! What other ninjutsu did he need?
Wood Stockade Wall? That would just be gilding the lily, wouldn't it?
"I was thinking too small. Yamato... you really are a weakling. The ninjutsu of my Thousand Hands Big Dummy is the real deal!"
Ye Chen checked the Spiritual Power within his body. After using Wood Dragon Technique, the sage energy he had stored earlier had been completely consumed.
However, maintaining the Wood Dragon now relied on his own Spiritual Power. Fortunately, Wood Dragon Technique worked the same way as in the original story.
As long as it came into contact with an enemy, it could absorb Spiritual Power from that enemy to sustain itself.
That was one of the reasons Ye Chen was killing monsters while traveling.
Otherwise, once he had used up most of his chakra, he would have no choice but to dispel the Wood Dragon.
He looked at today's earnings. The corpses of the mutant beasts were quite valuable, but unfortunately, the Wood Dragon had crushed them all.
Besides, he had no way to bring the corpses back. The Spatial Ring could not carry that many.
But his points... actually exceeded seven thousand...
Ye Chen looked at the sun in the distance, which was about to set. The forest was even more terrifying at night.
Mutant beasts at the Mountain-Moving Realm and Sea-Overturning Realm might even appear.
When that happened... whether the Wood Dragon could deal with them was still a question.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen controlled the Wood Dragon and headed all the way back along the route he had taken.
Several kilometers from the city gates, he dispelled Wood Dragon Technique and swaggered into the city.
The city guard widened his eyes at Ye Chen. His mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.
"You... came back alive?"
He had already heard that this kid had been carried away by a dragon!
"Yeah, I'm back. Is there a problem?" Ye Chen asked, his face full of confusion.
He still did not know that most people already knew about him standing atop the Wood Dragon.
"No problem... Go on in. Don't run around recklessly next time..."
Ye Chen was speechless. Good grief, were you sure you weren't some distant relative of mine?
Why were you suddenly so concerned about me? I was a little unused to it.
"Oh, then I'm leaving."
After Ye Chen left, that big brother dialed the same number once again.
At the same time, Bai Zhan and Zhang Daosheng were frantic with anxiety. They had already been searching for several hours, yet they had found no trace of Ye Chen.
Just then, Bai Zhan's phone rang.
"Speak!" Bai Zhan barked, his veins bulging.
"Ye Chen is back in the city..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhan's body jolted violently. "What?! Are you sure?!"
"What happened?" Zhang Daosheng frowned. Their top priority now was finding Ye Chen. What could possibly make Bai Zhan so desperate to confirm it?
Bai Zhan was overjoyed. "Ye Chen is back in the city!"
"What?! Are you sure?!"
Good grief, the two of them had reacted exactly the same way...
After Zhang Daosheng confirmed it several times, he finally let out a sigh of relief. "That kid... he sure is lucky."
The two exchanged smiles. At last, they could go back and get some proper rest.
However, what had happened today—the dragon-type mutant beast...
Had to be reported to someone at a higher level.
After returning home, Ye Chen opened Points Draw.
He rubbed his fists and slapped his palms together. "System! I want to draw!"
"Mm."
"??? What do you mean, 'mm'? Is that really your reaction?" Ye Chen was sorely disappointed by the system's response.
The system chose to ignore Ye Chen's words, and Ye Chen fell silent as well.
Looking at his 7,380 points, Ye Chen excitedly clicked on a single draw worth one hundred points!
"A single draw can produce a miracle. I've always believed that!"
