Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 173: Subduing the Dragon, Difficult Problems

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the nature of living things.

The newly transformed dragon had a feeling of freedom as if all shackles were shed, with the sea wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly, but reality gave it a hard slap in the face.

None of these tiny humans around it can contend with it.

Especially the human who was guiding him in his cultivation here. With just a slight move, he made the newly born creature feel as if it was sinking into hell and would never be free.

Helplessly, it can only follow its heart and lower its proud head.

after all……

It’s so miserable to be constantly being slaughtered!
And it doesn't want to die since it has just transformed into a dragon.

"Ha, interesting. Even its spirituality has greatly increased after the transformation." Zhu Jinzhen looked at the huge creature in front of him. After transforming into a dragon, the dragon's animal nature faded a lot, and instead it gained a bit of spiritual wisdom.

It looks quite a bit like the dragons that turn rivers and seas upside down in those strange stories.

"Snapped!"

Yang Ning raised his hand and slapped the dragon's mountain-like head sideways. He glanced at Zhu Jinzhen cautiously before angrily saying to the dragon, "You've begged for mercy and surrendered to the wrong person before His Highness. What's the point of keeping you here?"

"what?"

The dragon's twisted head was bewildered. It looked around and finally stopped in front of Zhu Jinzhen. It carefully lowered its head again to show its submission: "Your Highness, I am willing to submit. Please, please don't kill me."

Zhu Jinzhen: “.”

Okay, he took it back.

Intelligence increased, but not much!

Changsun Wangqing, Yan Yimei, Li Chengen and others couldn't help but grin.

His Highness is His Highness. The dragon parrot-like cry of "In front of His Highness" is really hilarious.

"Yang Ning."

"The end will be here."

"Since this dragon was created under your guidance, let it serve you first." Zhu Jinzhen had no interest in raising a dragon. Apart from the need to show off, he also looked down on the dragon's combat power.

Mainly, ugly!
The original body of this dragon was a dark green python. After transforming into a dragon, there was basically no major change. In addition, due to the influence of the basin swamp, it was full of fishy smell.

Apart from using it to pull carts for show, Zhu Jinzhen had almost no feelings towards this dragon.

"Ah? Yes!"

Yang Ning was stunned at first, but then he was overjoyed: "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will definitely discipline him strictly and will never let Your Highness down."

Zhu Jinzhen looked down on this somewhat ugly dragon, but Yang Ning did not despise it.

Whenever he thought about conquering the world in the future, others would ride horses or walk in the air, while he would ride a dragon. Just the sight of that made Yang Ning so excited that he wanted to tremble.

Li Chengen and Qin Yiyan also showed envy.

What man could resist being a dragon rider?
Even Yan Yimei was tempted. A dragon at the peak of the land immortal realm, with a body as huge as a mountain, could easily cause hundreds of thousands of troops to collapse without a fight by just walking onto the battlefield and rolling a few times like a cylinder.

As for ugly?
She doesn't really dislike it.

Zhu Jinzhen looked at their envious expressions and laughed heartily, "Alright, if you really want it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. The Secret Guards, please investigate further. The demon dragon guarded by the Chamu tribe can't exist alone. If there are giant snakes of this kind in the Americas, there must be others as well."

"It just takes a little longer to look for it."

In other words, there is no news about Tianxiahui and Twelve Panics in Jiuzhou yet, otherwise Zhu Jinzhen would have taken them directly to fight the dragon in Fengyun.

Moreover, there are no dragons in the land of Kyushu.

Is it possible that it cannot be found outside Kyushu?
Not to mention the world in heaven.

Yan Yimei's face was filled with joy. "Yes, Your Highness, I will have the secret guards track it down as soon as I return." Changsun Wangqing, standing by, didn't seem too concerned and nodded slightly. "Your Highness is absolutely right. Once the spiritual realm recovers, we only need to draw on its power. Not only will we find the dragon, but even the mythical dragon and phoenix might not be impossible to find."

Spirit mirror!

It can monitor and illuminate all living beings and all things in the world.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengen, Yan Yimei and others immediately smiled, and their previous confusion and envy mostly disappeared.

Kyushu is so big, with vast territory and abundant resources.

Maybe there are creatures like dragons somewhere?

Seeing that they understood, Zhu Jinzhen didn't waste any words. He waved his hand to summon a door and was about to take everyone back.

At this moment, Yang Ning's embarrassed voice came: "Wait, Your Highness, this dragon is so huge, can it pass through the Anywhere Door? How can we bring it back?"

The Anywhere Door allows you to go wherever you want.

But looking at the normal-sized wooden door, and then at the dragon as big as a mountain, Yang Ning suddenly felt overwhelmed. How could he take it back?
Zhu Jinzhen raised the corners of his lips slightly. "Ask the dragon if it can be made smaller as you wish. Otherwise, there are only two ways. Let it roam free here and come over to check on it every once in a while."

"Otherwise, you will have to take the trouble to bring him across the ocean and back to the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Ning opened his mouth and looked constipated.

He didn't know how far the American land was from the Ming Dynasty, but it would definitely take a long time to bring a dragon across the ocean and back to the Ming Dynasty from a place almost on the other side of the world.

The most important thing is that his highness is about to raise an army, and he is unwilling to waste time at such a critical juncture!
A wyrm mount or companion is great.

But Yang Ning prefers the feeling of killing on the battlefield.

It is impossible for His Highness to delay his important affairs because of a dragon!
Thinking of this, Yang Ning made a decision instantly.

Sensing Yang Ning's sharp gaze, the dragon shrank its neck and replied in a deep voice, "I can become a little smaller."

Huh?
Everyone looked at him in surprise at the same time.

Then, the dragon, which was hundreds of feet long, really became a little smaller.

The body shrank from about three hundred feet to a little more than three hundred feet.

Smaller, but only slightly.

"Pfft!"

Yan Yimei looked at Yang Ning, whose face went from full of hope to a dark one, and couldn't help laughing: "It's indeed a little smaller."

Changsun Wangqing couldn't help but smile.

Li Chengen and Qin Yiyan burst into laughter.

Yang Ning had no choice but to look at the dragon in front of him and said, "Forget it, you stay here for now."

"I will come and take you back after your highness has finished his important work."

"Oh!" The dragon nodded its huge head, looking well-behaved.

After Zhu Jinzhen took Changsun Wangqing, Li Chengen, Yang Ning and others away, the dragon's body began to shrink rapidly, and it stopped only after it had shrunk to almost half its size.

It will not be the size you want.

But, it is not a melon. It can roam freely on this land where it is the king. Why should it suffer?

Fortunately, Zhu Jinzhen and others had already left and did not see this scene.

Otherwise, I will definitely stew it into a pot of snake soup on the spot, oh no, dragon tonic soup!
