I have seen dragons

Chapter 27 Monster Club
Jiangcheng City, the third satellite city.

On the northern outskirts of City Three lies a black, rocky mountain, almost devoid of vegetation. In the pitch-black night, the jagged outlines of the rocks are barely visible, and there are no buildings or lights in the vicinity.

Few people come here during the day, and they are completely absent at night.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed in the darkness, crunching over the gravel. Two figures emerged and quickly approached the rocky hill.

On the left stands a tall, imposing figure, dressed in a sharp black suit, revealing a tiger's head with colorful markings, his gaze fierce and domineering.

On the right is a tall, muscular man dressed in a plain T-shirt and shorts, revealing black fur and a black tiger head on top of him; even his pupils are dark. In the dead of night, a slight glimpse of his teeth makes him appear as if a row of teeth has come to life.

The two figures were none other than Tiger in a Suit and Tiger in Black, who had previously escaped from the Tiger Head Gang's underground.

The black tiger originally had no human form, but after that battle, it somehow partially transformed into this somewhat youthful human form.

Together they arrived at a gloomy cave on the side of the black stone mountain. They walked several hundred meters along the tunnel-like cave and found a burning torch deep inside.

Tiger in the suit plucked a yellow hair from his ear and lit it on the torch.

laugh--

The curly yellow hair burned and turned into a wisp of smoke.

A rumbling sound immediately echoed in the cave, and two large, protruding rocks in front of it slid apart to the sides, revealing a corridor paved with black square bricks! Above, below, left, and right were electronic bricks glowing with a misty, luminous light, creating a stark contrast between the technological atmosphere and the desolate, rocky mountains outside!
The faint vibrations of music could be heard coming from inside.

The black tiger's pupils reflected these hazy colors, revealing a hint of curiosity.

Tiger in the suit led him forward, and the stone door behind them closed automatically. After passing through the corridor, they arrived at a second-floor railing, below which was a huge dance floor with bright lights and revelry!

A dozen colorful, swaying, dazzling light balls hung overhead, and deafening music blared from speakers on all four sides. The dance floor was crowded with all sorts of bodies.

Some of them have wings on their backs, some are covered in scales, and their heads are all strangely shaped. Birds, beasts, cattle, horses, chickens, and ducks all freely release their animal hormones in this dance floor.

Without exception, they were all demons!
Compared to human nightclubs, the monsters here are even more unrestrained, with more revealing clothes and more direct actions. Some scenes are so explicit that Black Tiger's face turns red.

Fortunately, the black fur concealed it, so nothing could be seen.

Tiger in the suit was clearly used to this kind of thing and didn't pay much attention, continuing to lead him forward.

Built into the mountain cave, the three-story structure features a spacious dance floor and a stage for DJs and performers on the first floor. The second floor is a quieter bar area where some monsters sit drinking and chatting. The third floor consists of private rooms with one-way glass, obscuring the view inside.

Tiger in the suit led Black Tiger straight to the bar, sat down in a chair, and tapped the table. "Give me two cups of 'Fairy Guiding the Way'."

The bartender behind the counter was a man with blond dreadlocks, wearing a vest and a bow tie. He looked up and saw Tiger in a suit, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Huang, it's been a while. I heard the Tiger Head Gang had some trouble. How are you?"

“Your information network is indeed excellent,” Tiger in the suit replied bluntly. “That’s exactly what I came here for today.”

The dreadlocked lion glanced at the black tiger. "I haven't seen this young man before. Is this your first time at the club?"

“My little black dog,” the man in the suit replied, “wasn’t able to transform before, and just stayed at home hiding. But after experiencing a life-or-death crisis and being seriously injured, he gained some insights and is now able to partially transform.”

The dreadlocked lion nodded. It was actually quite difficult for them to transform into human form. The more intelligent ones needed to cultivate for nearly a hundred years, while the clumsy ones even needed to cultivate for two or three hundred years to reach the point of semi-transformation.

Like them, although their general outline is human-shaped, they still retain many features such as scales, fur, head, and tail, making it impossible for them to integrate into human society.

Although he managed to infiltrate the city, he could only live in the shadows.

Only those great demons who have cultivated for countless years can achieve the state of complete human form, and only such great demons can truly live like humans. Once they reach that level, unless they actively release their demonic power, no one can tell the difference between them and humans.

This monster club is specifically designed for these semi-human monsters.

They yearn for the joys of the human world, yet cannot integrate into it. So, they come to the suburbs late at night to enjoy themselves like humans. Surrounded by their own kind, they feel even more relaxed.

Within this club, they can also trade, exchange information, and form a network that provides significant assistance to the isolated and helpless monsters in the city. No one knows who manages the monster club, only that it wields considerable power and has branches in every city. This is the utopia of the city's monsters.

……

Welcome to the Yokai Club!

The dreadlocked lion mixed another brightly colored drink and pushed it in front of Black Tiger with a warm smile.

"This drink is on me. What's your name, young man?" it asked.

“I…I am called Black…” Black Tiger stammered, his tone very awkward.

"It's newly transformed and not quite used to speaking human language yet," the tiger in the suit answered for it. "In our family, we always name our children after their color and status. For example, I'm called Yellow Tiger, and my brothers are called Yellow Tiger Two, Yellow Tiger Three, and so on... Little Black is the youngest in our family, and it was born a black tiger cub, so its name is..."

"My name is Blackie!"

Black Tiger pronounced his name quite fluently, indicating he had practiced it specifically.

"..." The dreadlocked lion paused for a moment, then pushed out two more glasses of wine, their surfaces shimmering with a deep blue light. "What direction are you trying to take here?"

"The two human cultivators were the ones who wiped out our Tiger Head Gang. Not only did they destroy the gang, but they also killed three of my brothers. I can't let them go unpunished." Huang Dahu said in a deep voice, "I want to find two powerful helpers to take down those two humans with me."

"Is it an official position?" asked the dreadlocked lion.

“It wasn’t the Supermarket Management Bureau, just two busybodies. I heard they took five hundred yuan and came to wipe out our gang, hah.” Huang Dahu gritted his teeth and said with hatred in his eyes, “The Supermarket Management Bureau wouldn’t come to wipe us out. I’ve never stopped paying tribute to them.”

“That’s good.” The dreadlocked lion nodded. “I happen to have two guys here who just came from the wasteland. If you give me 500,000, this can be done.”

"Just came from the wasteland?" Huang Dahu frowned, a little hesitant.

The newcomer means he doesn't quite understand the rules of human cities, and he might make mistakes in doing things. It's a little uneasy about having such a monster as a helper.

“It’s only because they just came out of the wasteland that they have this kind of ferocity. Otherwise, who would be willing to help you kill cultivators after living in the city for a long time?” said the dreadlocked lion. “Even if you could find them, the price would definitely not be this low.”

"it is good……"

Huang Dahu gritted his teeth and agreed, it seemed that his murderous intent outweighed his caution.

After thinking for a moment, it replied, "You have to make it clear to them that the rules in the city are complicated, and they must follow my instructions and cannot act on their own."

"Don't worry," the dreadlocked lion laughed, "They're very hungry! They'll definitely complete the mission perfectly for you!"

“The monsters that have just come here from the wasteland are all very hungry.” Huang Dahu seemed to remember something and said in a deep voice, “When my brothers and I first came to the city, we would do anything for money. We were constantly fighting for survival and faced desperate situations many times.”

“Even in the most dangerous moments, we never gave up on each other. As long as we fight side by side, we are not afraid of any opponent! It is with this ferocity that we have carved out our own territory in City Seven.”

"Who would have thought that we would encounter such a disaster at this time?"

“When Xiao Hei couldn’t transform, it was really dangerous to hide with it, but no one ever suggested abandoning it. Now, it’s just the two of us left… Xiao Hei, you have to carry on with your brothers’ legacy…”

When he got emotional, his eyes filled with tears and a mixture of grief and indignation as he looked at his last brother, with whom he depended on each other for survival.

Black Tiger was staring blankly at the dance floor below, a dazed smile on his face.

Following its gaze, one could see a female leopard demon in the center of the dance floor, wearing a strapless short dress. She had a hot and sexy figure, with voluptuous breasts and a large bottom, and her movements were extremely alluring. A dozen or so demons surrounded her, all drawn to her.

"You brat!" Huang Dahu slapped Hei Hu hard on the back of the head. "You haven't even avenged your brothers yet, and you're already thinking about these things?"

"And he even likes leopard print?"
