My wife is the stand-in.

"You beast! You want to lock Kanna up?!"

Amanosaki stood up abruptly, the Spear of Longchinus in his hand trembling with a buzzing sound, conveying a sense of excitement.

Chapter 166: The Battle of the Giants (Final)

'Give it to Kanna!'

Kanna, who was chained by the fish monster, raised her head and protested in dissatisfaction.

Amanosaki smashed the fish monster that jumped on him with a single shot, shook the blood off his head, and heard Kanna's somewhat childish voice. Involuntarily, an image of Kanna clenching her fists and puffing out her cheeks popped into Amanosaki's mind, and his anger miraculously subsided.

"Then hurry up!"

Kanna grunted and began to struggle, screaming wildly. More and more strange fish appeared on her body, making her heavier and heavier. Gradually, the white was covered by a bluish-gray, and the white dragon sank into the water.

The captain's cabin fell silent.

Even though everyone knew beforehand that it was part of a performance, watching those hideous, bloodthirsty beasts sink the dragon into the river still weighed heavily on their hearts.

Lin Shuyu's hand gripping the microphone tightened unconsciously, her knuckles turning white.

'Amanosaki is with Kanna, he'll be fine.'

Spiegelberg stood up, smiled at Karenina, and said, "You're nervous again."

He had just changed his pants, wasting a few minutes, and didn't want to do it again.

He watched the screen until the river in the camera had mostly calmed down and a strange, deathly atmosphere was building up before saying to Lin Shuyu, "Please let Kanna make her entrance in the most exaggerated way possible."

Then, a cool-toned light appeared in the dark water.

It was like a reflection of the clear, cold light of the full moon in the sky.

But it was clearly a rainy day.

The dark clouds slowly gathered their power, transforming into a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket that struck down, causing the swordsmen on nearby ships to feel a shiver run through their bodies.

puff.

The ripe corpses floated to the surface and quickly filled the circle formed by the boat.

All the cameras were focused on the river surface, where a large bulge rose slowly amidst a muffled roar, carrying an overwhelming pressure.

After a moment of brightness, the dragon, covered in the corpses of countless dead fish as if clad in fish scales, majestically spread its wings, surrounded by an electric net, with electrolyzed hydrogen and oxygen ignited around it.

It was as if they were bowing down to the dragon's might.

A tall, shirtless man with granite-like muscles stood at the head of a dragon, coldly holding a gun, looking down at everything, like a demon lord on earth.

"Move in! Move the camera in! Don't worry about the equipment!"

Spielberg yelled, jolting the team in the captain's cabin and on deck awake. They nervously operated their equipment, carefully filming, fearing retaliation for their "overstepping" actions.

Even though everyone knew that the dragon and the knight were on the side of justice, the sight of this extremely shocking scene made everyone feel as if a stone was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

Amidst the splashing sound of breaking water, two kingfish emerged from their upper bodies, letting out piercing roars at Kanna.

They mourned and raged for the dead clan.

Spielberg greedily recorded the confrontation between the two sides, and before he knew it, his pants were wet again.

Amanosaki touched Kanna's horn with the Spear of Longchinus, and Kanna, understanding, straightened her chest and spat out a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, the lightning struck a kingfish into the water, while Kanna flapped her wings and flew high into the lightning.

So the clouds became a screen, and wherever the dragon went, bright orbs of light flowed through them.

The ball of light vanished in an instant, carrying away a rumble of thunder and leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.

Lukou Town is a small town about 6 kilometers away from the Yangtze River. The town relies on aquaculture for its livelihood. Along the river embankment, there are more than forty fish ponds of various sizes connected by sluice gates and water pumps.

Fishing boats on the river buy fresh fish in towns like this every autumn and winter, and then send them to nearby big cities.

Because of the thunderstorms and the extermination order, the roads in Lukou Town were deserted today. The children stayed at home with their parents, watching TV and waiting for dinner.

Xiao Hong, who was doing her art class homework with her younger sister, left the house to use the restroom. She walked along the rain-drenched corridor to the restroom around the corner. The moment she opened the restroom door, a bright blue light flashed past her head.

Xiao Hong raised her head, her eyes following the departing ball of light, followed by a thunderous roar that stunned her into a daze.

A dozen seconds later, the blue light returned along its original path, showering the land with light and lightning once more.

The second clap of thunder startled Xiaohong awake. She ran all the way, calling "Mom," and pushed open the door to snuggle into her mother's warm embrace.

Under her parents' persistent questioning, Xiaohong, with a look of half surprise and half astonishment, shouted loudly, "I saw a UFO!"

"Attention all units! Please adjust your positions immediately, filming for 'The Return of the Dragon' is about to begin!"

Lin Shuyu's gentle voice rang out in the channel, and the heroes quickly adjusted their positions. The ships outside the battle zone also sounded their horns and began to move erratically, some colliding with each other and others rushing ashore.

The fishermen and boat owners who had safely reached the shore were also smiling as they exchanged clothes, tore up bed sheets and scarves to wrap wood and light bonfires, looking like refugees trying to save themselves.

When the blue light returned, everything was ready.

Even the four-clawed scaled fish launched another attack, and the river surface was once again covered with strange fish.

One of the kingfish, with its scales charred black, was particularly aggressive in tearing at the ship.

Kanna broke through the clouds, letting out a roar of "Whoosh!" and crashed headlong into the water, pushing the King Fish and the boat back into the water.

At the same time, the warships upstream also began to enter the battlefield, opening fire together with the Wudang warriors wielding firepower, unleashing a barrage of firepower in all directions.

Armed helicopters took off despite the severe weather and joined the battle.

The sounds of explosions and screams blended together in an instant.

Needless to say, the equipment on those hit ships was destroyed, but everyone had a happy look on their faces.

"The filming lasted nearly 30 minutes, with thousands of shots. The entire battle sequence was captured, and it can be used after some editing. Once Kanna returns, we can shoot a bunch of close-ups, and that's it."

Spielberg watched with satisfaction as Connor pinned down the kingfish, thinking to himself, "This is fantastic; there's no better material than this."

100% real, no special effects.

Simply perfect.

Kanna was also very happy.

The randomly placed cannons couldn't harm her. She used her magic shield to block the cannonballs that accidentally hit her. She stomped on the Kingfish with her four claws like she was stepping on a mouse, like a child setting off firecrackers during the New Year. Occasionally, she would catch a passing cannonball and smash it on the Kingfish's head.

Amanosaki maintained his balance amidst the turbulence, with a camera on his head used to film the "pilot's shot." He didn't have much to do in this battle.

"scare!"

Kanna suddenly looked up, glaring angrily at the river.

"what happened?"

"Bad boy! Don't run away!"

Kanna screamed and jumped into the water with a splash, leaving behind the crushed carcass of the kingfish.

It bit down on the kingfish that was trying to escape, slapping it across the face with its large paws, while using its claws to claw wildly at the kingfish's soft belly, even using its four legs to lift it up and make the kingfish bear all the bullets.

The kingfish struggled incessantly, then suddenly convulsed, vomiting a mouthful of foul blood that sprayed all over Amanosaki's face. Its head drooped, and it remained motionless.

The dead can no longer die.

"Fun!"

Kanna bit into the kingfish's skull, chewing on the metal fragments left inside, and then contentedly ate the medium-rare fish.

Chapter 167: The Flame Party and Kobayashi's Home Raid

With both kingfish dead and the clan's core gone, the four-clawed scaled fish, who had been so fearless that they even dared to bite Kanna despite the dragon's might, lost their courage in an instant.

These creatures, who had rallied under the Kingfish's command to become almost demonic, have now reverted to being beasts.

The heroes fought for a while, but seeing that these beasts offered only sporadic resistance, they lost interest and put away their weapons.

The knights navigated their boats to shore, exposing the river to the army's artillery fire.

Kanna also enthusiastically chased down a large number of the remaining soldiers in the water, and the remaining drones and cameras recorded the scene.

The Scorpionfish started its engine, crashed into the head of the strange fish, and narrowly missed Kanna, who was chasing and teasing the fish.

Amanosaki seized the opportunity to grab the gunwale and climb onto the boat.

Spiegelberg and Lin Shuyu came up to greet them, just in time to see Amanosaki throwing water.

Karenina was splashed with water by Amanosaki, who was shaking her like a dog. The strong, fishy smell pierced her nostrils, and she gagged. She quickly covered her mouth, her pale face showing apology.

Spiegelberg, due to his age and experience, was quite accustomed to the smell of blood in the river.

He clapped his hands vigorously, his thin, bony hands trembling, which terrified Amanosaki, who feared the old man's hands would break.

Today's filming didn't showcase Spielberg's talent. Whether it was lighting, set design, props, or actor training, all of these skills were rendered useless when the filming moved to the real battlefield.

Like Amanosaki, this old man will only truly shine tomorrow.

Like a meteor, the missile streaked across the sky, leaving a long tail as the dark clouds gradually dissipated, before crashing into the river. The explosion shook the water, and the shockwave stunned or killed the four-clawed fish.

Then a second wave of incendiary bombs ignited the river surface, burning the fish to death and turning them into pure nutrients, thus nourishing the river water that they had plundered for thousands of years.

The distant singing and the aroma of barbecue wafted over, and some impatient fishermen and boat captains took out drinks from their boats and started an open-air barbecue feast using the food they had stored on the fishing boats.

"From now on, we can raise fish on the river!"

"Oh!" Glasses clinked, wine splashed.

The barbecue trend quickly spread, and Suobianyuhao also reopened its BBQ business.

Kanna darted swiftly through the blazing river, eating and drinking at every barbecue spot. Everyone was very lenient with this adorable and helpful little girl, and Kanna ate until her belly was so round she could hardly move.

"Wow, that was fast." Spiegelberg, sitting in his chair carefully sipping boneless chicken feet, was still shaken by the scorching landscape of half river water and half sea of ​​fire.

Having washed away the smell of blood, Amanosaki was finally able to have a hearty meal. He was busy eating skewers when he noticed that Lin Shuyu's fair face was flushed, and large beads of sweat were hanging on her forehead. The barbecue was placed aside, and the handkerchief she used to wipe her sweat was already soaked.

"What's going on?" Amanosaki asked, frowning.

Li Junzi, who had grown four arms—three for grilling and one for eating skewers—hearing his boss's question, continued eating, and a mouth grew out of the side of his neck: "Miss Lin is very afraid of the heat. Now the river is covered with a layer of incendiary oil, so the temperature is very high."

"Boss, I'm busy cooking here. Do you want me to take Miss Lin back to her room to enjoy the air conditioning?"

Although Li Junzi used a conciliatory tone, Amanosaki could tell from his evasive eyes that the guy was extremely unwilling.
