Meeting Again

On the edge of the Shaze Plains, a soldier-like figure was scanning the surroundings with binoculars.

At this moment, April and the Little Blue Dragon came into his field of vision.

The soldier froze for a moment. After hastily comparing them with a drawing in his hand and confirming multiple times, he immediately sounded the alarm.

"Ring ring ring!" The whistle sounded.

"Quick, go report to boss Lusha. the person he's looking for has been found, yes, right in the Shaze Plains, and there's a dinosaur with her. What, the boss wants to come personally? Alright, I'll keep a close watch on them."

After hanging up the phone, the soldier continued to observe with his binoculars. Thinking that he would soon be making a great contribution, he performed his surveillance duties even more diligently.

Lusha's troops' command center.

Upon receiving the report from his subordinate that the little girl had been found, Lusha breathed a sigh of relief. He was now eager to capture her. If Claren's robot blueprints were on her, that would be best. If not, he would have to make arrangements for a backup plan in advance.

"Someone!" Thinking this, Lusha loudly called for his subordinate.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Hurry and prepare the plane. We need to get to the Shaze Plains as quickly as possible."

Hearing his boss's command, the subordinate shivered with excitement. "Boss, have we found the person we were looking for?"

At this, Lusha's fierce face showed a rare smile. "Yes, we found her. It seems expanding the search range was effective. Damn it, that little brat can run, traveling over a thousand kilometers away. But she still can't escape my grasp."

"That's great, boss. We'll go arrange the manpower right away." The subordinate also showed a hint of ruthlessness and immediately went to arrange the long-distance aircraft.

"You may go!"

Lusha waved his hand, his heart finally a little relieved. He then lay on the sofa, his eyes half-closed. The recent urgings from headquarters had pushed Lusha's nerves to the breaking point.

More than ten minutes later, a propeller plane took off from the tarmac, heading towards the Shaze Plains over a thousand kilometers away.

Six hours later, the plane arrived over the Shaze Plains. The ochre plains were devoid of water, everything was dry. Even the wind blowing in this arid environment was dry.

After the plane landed, Lusha and his entourage disembarked, covered in dust.

"Where is she? Where is that little girl?"

The soldier from the outpost here quickly reported, "Sir, that little girl is heading west along the nearest river. However, for some reason, a young dragon-like creature is accompanying her. Our men are afraid of startling them, so they dare not get too close."

"Hmm, you've done very well!" Lusha patted the sentry's shoulder. Then, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he turned back and said, "Have everyone bring their weapons. I don't care about the dragon's life or death, but I want that girl alive."

"We can't afford to fail this time, or I'll chop him up." Lusha warned sternly.

"Understood, boss!"

These Ophiuchus Legion members lived lives on the edge of a blade. To put it bluntly, they were no different from bandits. Upon receiving their boss's orders, they all showed excited smiles.

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, the group got into jeeps and, with dust billowing, hurried towards April's location.

Meanwhile, April and her new companion were completely unaware of the danger approaching them.

On the other side, after helping the island's residents destroy several Ophiuchus Legion fortresses nearby and confirming that the Ophiuchus Legion's forces would no longer affect the island residents' retreat, Mu Yang flew towards the Da Qingshan Mountains.

It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, with a hint of coolness in the refreshing breeze. The Da Qingshan Mountains were located on the far side of the Primeval Mountains. Because this mountain range, which had stood for countless years, blocked the cold air blowing from the north, the Da Qingshan region enjoyed spring-like weather year-round, with only slight climatic changes.

Seeing that they were not far from the Da Qingshan Mountains, Mu Yang flew intermittently, not in a hurry.

Whoosh~

A flash of light swept across the vast plains. Mu Yang flew directly past the edge of the harshest desert terrain.

Just then, a convoy of vehicles below, kicking up a long trail of dust, immediately caught his attention. The convoy consisted of over twenty open-top cars, filled with people, all wearing dusty gray standard uniforms, and equipped with various standard firearms.

"The Ophiuchus Legion is actually showing up here..."

Mu Yang frowned. His excellent eyesight allowed him to immediately recognize their appearance, confirming they were members of the Ophiuchus Legion.

This area was only separated from the Da Qingshan Mountains by a small plain. The presence of the Ophiuchus Legion here was not a good sign. Although Mu Yang himself could disregard them, the ordinary residents near the Da Qingshan Mountains were defenseless against the Ophiuchus Legion's firepower.

Therefore, Mu Yang slowed down and moved closer to the convoy, preparing to investigate their purpose.

Aoooo—

A mournful cry suddenly came from a distance. Mu Yang noticed the direction and only then saw another group of people ahead. Those people were also from the Ophiuchus Legion and were currently confronting a creature resembling a dinosaur.

"Squeak! Squeak squeak!" Dark eyes spat fire, and the Little Blue Dragon glared at them, protectively shielding a little girl behind it. Several bullet holes had already appeared on the Little Blue Dragon's body, and bright red blood flowed down.

"Wuwu, Little Card, are you okay?" April clung to the back of the blue dragon, weeping sadly.

"Damn it, we can't even deal with a young dragon. Keep firing. Remember to only aim at the dragon, and absolutely do not injure the little girl behind it," the Ophiuchus Legion officer, Lusha, ordered his subordinates with a chilling glint in his sinister eyes, his face filled with rage.

"Yes!" Everyone raised their guns.

"You bad guys, evildoers!" April shouted sadly, her face flushed red. It was these bad guys who took away her parents and sister, and now they wouldn't even spare her new friend.

"Heh heh, little one, as long as you hand over your father's blueprints, I promise to let you go."

"You're bad people, I won't give them to you!" April glared with angry eyes, unaware that her answer had confirmed the blueprints were indeed on her.

Indeed, upon hearing April's reply, Lusha's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fire!" He gave the order coldly.

"Roar—" The Little Blue Dragon's eyes spewed fire, and it let out a roar, preparing to fight desperately.

Just then, a light voice suddenly came, "Are all the people from the Ophiuchus Legion like this? Not even letting a little girl go? Look at that young dragon; it's more humane than all of you."

"Who's there?"

The Ophiuchus Legion members became vigilant upon hearing the voice, looking around but unable to locate the speaker. They finally realized the person was floating in mid-air.

Mu Yang had been observing from the air for a long time and had roughly understood the situation. Those Ophiuchus Legion members seemed to be after something, and that something was with the little girl.

Not even letting a little girl go, Mu Yang truly found it unbearable.
