Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 157 Dragon Lord Fourth Rank

If that's the case, then it can only mean one thing.

This Dragon Lord probably wasn't captured; it's possible he reached some kind of cooperation with the mainframe, and using blood cultivation to transform into extraordinary beings might be part of that cooperation.

This discovery instantly calmed Wang Hu's previously anxious heart.

Because if that's the case, then things are probably not as bad as you imagine.

"In that case, why not wait a little longer!"

As Wang Hu thought this, he couldn't help but look down at Lin Yue, who was curled up to the side, surrounded by a ball of five-colored divine light.

She looked as if she were inside a giant egg.

Fortunately, Lin Yue was recovering at the moment. Even if he wanted to rescue the old man, he would need Lin Yue's help, so he couldn't rush things.

Time passed, second by second.

Wang Hu could sense that Lin Yue's life force was recovering at an astonishing speed.

Her broken wings are slowly growing back under the energy of the fire of rebirth.

Her pale face gradually regained a touch of color.

Just as Wang Hu was waiting, a sudden, urgent alarm sounded in the huge underground space.

"Beep beep beep—!"

The piercing alarm echoed throughout the space.

All the operating instruments displayed flashing red warning lights on their screens.

Wang Hu's heart skipped a beat.

Discovered?

That shouldn't be! I've been keeping my breath in check and haven't done anything out of line.

Moreover, he had been injected with the drug, and along the way, all the mutants had treated him as one of their own.

Even Lin Yue, since she became this five-colored egg, has completely concealed her aura. Unless you look at her with your eyes, you absolutely cannot sense her human aura.

Wang Hu was currently in a corner of a platform in this huge space. There were thousands of platforms like the one he was on in this space, and he had shrunk again. Being in this place was actually quite secluded.

Even if the regional mastermind discovers the intruders and sends mutants to track them, it probably won't be able to find them in a short time.

Even so, he immediately looked around warily.

Suddenly, a large number of staff members dressed in white research coats emerged from the passageways from all directions.

They looked like humans, but their eyes were empty and their movements were stiff, like a group of manipulated puppets.

They didn't rush towards Wang Hu, but instead all surged in the same direction.

Wang Hu looked in their direction, and his pupils contracted sharply again.

They headed in the direction that was the petri dish where Master Long was!

"Warning! Warning! Subject 001's genetic chain is experiencing violent fluctuations! The energy level is skyrocketing out of control!"

"Activate the highest level of suppression procedures! Increase the dosage of sedatives and stabilizers!"

The piercing alarm and the researchers' stiff, synthesized voices echoed throughout the underground space.

Wang Hu hid in the shadows, squinting as he observed the scene.

Experiment subject number 001?

Without a doubt, it refers to Lord Long!

What exactly happened on his end? Why did things suddenly spiral out of control?

Wang Hu stared intently at the petri dish in the distance.

The once calm green nutrient solution suddenly began to churn violently, like boiling water.

Long Ye's body trembled violently in the nutrient solution.

Suddenly, his tightly closed eyes snapped open!

What eyes they were!

There was no white in the eye; the entire eyeball had turned into a pure, lava-like reddish-gold color!

Two tangible golden beams of light shot out from his eyes and slammed into the inner wall of the blood cultivation vessel.

"Snap!"

The special glass, which was strong enough to withstand artillery shells, was actually blasted into two fine cracks by those two gazes!

"roar--!"

A furious roar, unlike a human voice but more like a dragon's cry, erupted from deep within the Dragon Lord's throat.

The terrifying sound waves caused the entire petri dish to tremble violently.

In an instant, all the tubes connected to him were snapped off by a powerful force!

Colorful liquids were splashed everywhere.

"Oh no! The test subject is about to break free!"

"Physical suppression system activated! Electromagnetic restraints activated!"

As a stiff voice rang out, dozens of thick mechanical arms suddenly extended from around the petri dish.

At the front end of the robotic arm are huge alloy shackles.

The shackles crackled with electricity, emitting a terrifying hissing sound, as they tightened around Dragon Lord's limbs and torso.

However, just as those shackles were about to bind Master Long...

Suddenly, a layer of fine, golden scales, like dragon scales, appeared on the surface of Lord Long's body!

His body is undergoing inhuman changes at a speed visible to the naked eye!

His body was growing rapidly, his muscles were bulging, and his bones were cracking.

One after another, grotesque bone spurs burst out of his spine!

An overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying aura, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, erupted from his body!

"boom--!

""

A loud bang.

The entire petri dish, along with the mechanical arms that were trying to restrain him, was instantly burst apart from the inside by an indescribable, terrifying force!

Countless shards of glass and mechanical parts shot out in all directions like a torrential rain.

The green nutrient solution poured out, forming a vast expanse of water on the ground.

A burly and ferocious figure slowly rose from the broken petri dish.

He was over three meters tall, covered in golden dragon scales, with bony spikes standing on his back, wildly dancing black hair, and crimson-gold eyes, like a demon god emerging from hell.

He is no longer in pure human form.

It's more like a monster that's half-human and half-dragon!

Wang Hu was deeply shaken by what he saw.

He could sense that the aura emanating from Lord Long at this moment was more than ten times stronger than before!

That power has far exceeded the scope of the third tier!

Although his form has become inhuman, this power still belongs to Lord Dragon!

He succeeded!

He actually managed to advance to the fourth rank by utilizing the culture dish and extraordinary energy of this other world.

"Hahaha!"

A rough and domineering voice suddenly came from the half-dragon, half-human Lord Dragon. He stared at the humanoid mutants around him who were controlled by the main brain and looked panicked. A fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Number 13, I won this bet after all!"

"Now that I have reached the fourth level, you no longer have the means to control me."

"Then next, it will be my turn to try and control you."

As he spoke, Lord Long grinned at all the humanoid mutants around him, a dangerous expression on his face. Then, without hesitation, he leaped up and jumped directly into the huge hole below.
