Soon, he discovered that they were a group of small reptiles covered with fine scales.
They have large heads, short and thick necks, and although their limbs are not long, they are extremely flexible in movement; a long and thin tail accounts for almost half of their body length.
"Yabe Ryu."
"Or rather, the Yabe Ryu family."
Yabesaurus belongs to the family Adelaidae of the order Squamata. Its fossils were unearthed in the western Liaoning region of China. It is one of the iconic species of the Jehol Biota. They are carnivorous animals, and stomach content fossils show that their prey included fish and crustaceans such as crickets.
It should be a semi-aquatic lizard that is quite hydrophilic.
Now, a slightly larger female Yabe dragon is leading a litter of about twenty newly hatched cubs to rest in a newly dug cave.
Each of those cubs is only as long as a human child's little finger, about six or seven centimeters, and their entire body is a gray-brown color similar to the mud on the river bank. Only in the sunlight does the luster of their fine scales appear.
The female Yabe dragon does not seem to be disgusted by this sudden "neighbor" - the thick ginkgo tree roots - and even intentionally or unintentionally digs the nest towards the roots, as if seeking some kind of natural shelter.
When the main dragon focused its consciousness on these little guys, the system prompt came as expected:
[Detected creature Yabe Dragon, possesses the following innate skills: [Hydrophicity] (moves freely in water, can hold its breath longer), [Digging] (can quickly dig into soft soil), [Tenacious Vitality] (strong adaptability to environmental changes).]
[Releasing a Yabe Dragon (adult female) into the real world consumes 8000 willpower. In the real world, you can control an adult Yabe Dragon at 10 willpower/hour, or a juvenile Yabe Dragon at 0 willpower/hour.]
[To release a group of Yabe dragons (1 adult and 26 cubs) into the real world, 30000 willpower is consumed.]
"We can use them to cause trouble for the US military." An idea quickly flashed through the Lord Dragon's mind.
Imagine a group of giant lizards that can sneak at high speed in water, are good at digging, and can increase their size a hundred times, appearing near a naval base or coastal military facility in the United States. The scene must be "spectacular".
Although 30000 points of willpower was still not a small number for him now, the Lord Dragon had almost no hesitation.
"Deploy the 'Yabe Dragon Swarm' into the real world."
[Please specify the coordinates of the Yabe Dragon Swarm's placement in the real world.]
"Stand by first and talk to me when we get back."
After dealing with the matter of Yabe Dragon, the main dragon's "attention" returned to the ginkgo tree itself.
Soon, he found a beetle next to a thick tree root exposed on the ground. It was pitch black and looked like a modern ground beetle, crawling slowly.
It is about three or four centimeters long, with a hard and dark carapace and six strong and powerful limbs.
"It looks like a cannon-shooting beetle."
The fire-breathing beetle is a creature that can "breathe fire". When threatened, its abdominal glands mix hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone, and through a catalytic reaction, it instantly sprays out 100°C high-temperature venom at a frequency of 700 times per second, with a range of up to 20 times its body length!
really……
[Detected biological artillery beetle, possesses the innate skill: [Pseudo-firefighting].]
[Copying the skill 'Pseudo-Fire Breathing' consumes 2500 willpower.]
"A beetle that can spit fire?" The main dragon thought.
Although it is called "pseudo-Spitfire", the power of the 100°C high-temperature material and the high-frequency jet should not be underestimated.
If this skill could be upgraded...
"copy."
[Willpower consumption: 2500 points. Skill 'Pseudo-Firebreathing' has been copied.]
After completing this series of operations, the main dragon exited Gaia's Dream with satisfaction.
The system beep sounded again.
[Due to the dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional power, the skill 'Pseudo-Fire Breathing' has been upgraded to 'Flame Control': the possessor of this skill can control and master real flames; and flames will become his friends.]
The main dragon touched his chin. It seemed that he had to find a suitable new owner for the skill [Fire Control].
at this time……
"Fuck-"
The sound of the Maybach engine rang in my ears.
Time in the real world began to flow again.
A sea breeze with a slightly damp and fishy smell blew towards me.
Maybach is running on the highway along the coast.
"Or, let's put Yabe Ryu's family in the shallow sea nearby!"
"The big one hides first and waits for the opportunity!"
"As for the little one..."
The corners of the main dragon's mouth curled up slightly.
"Let's pick one out and move around!"
Moments later, sirens blared at a secret military base in upstate New York.
12 (Part 1). A great hermit hidden in the city
The Maybach drove into a seemingly abandoned industrial area, and after turning several corners, it finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous gray warehouse.
The rolling shutter door silently rolled up, revealing the deep passage below, and the cold white sensor light flickered.
The passage is flanked by thick metal walls, and every few meters there is an embedded surveillance camera with a red indicator light flashing slightly.
"This is a temporary base we're building. It's nominally an Aegros Security asset. It's absolutely legal and won't arouse suspicion," Atlas' voice echoed in the slightly oppressive space. "The security system and basic facilities are already in place, and will continue to be improved."
"The personnel are absolutely reliable. Not only are they employees of Aegros, but they are all believers of the Trinity Church, baptized by me personally."
The vehicle finally stopped in a spacious underground parking lot.
Several security guards in black uniforms and alert expressions immediately stepped forward and opened the car door.
Dragon and Tifa followed Atlas and Luif out of the car. The first thing they saw was a huge metal lift. Atlas gestured for them to step onto it, and with a slight vibration, the platform slowly descended.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
This is a huge underground space with a height of at least ten meters, which seems to be a high-tech military command center.
Dozens of giant LCD screens were neatly arranged on the walls, displaying a variety of complex data streams, satellite images, and news footage. Staff in various uniforms busied themselves at various control consoles, the sounds of keyboard tapping and low conversations mingling in an orderly yet orderly fashion.
The air was filled with the subtle warmth and faint smell of ozone, characteristic of electronic equipment.
This place is only five kilometers away from No. 499 High School, and it is indeed cleverly hidden.
Atlas led them through the busy hall and into a conference room that was simply decorated but full of technology.
In the center of the conference room is a huge oval conference table with a touch screen embedded in the desktop.
"I hope you two can stay here permanently," Atlas said straight to the point, his gaze fixed on the Dragonite and Tifa. "This place can provide you with the safest environment and the most comprehensive logistical support."
The Dragon Master shook his head. "A great man hides himself in plain sight. A murder just occurred in Tifa's apartment, and we suddenly disappeared from the school. This will only arouse unnecessary suspicion and make us more vulnerable to being exposed." He paused and looked at Louis. "What's more, Mr. Louis's 'clean-up operation' of the White Eagle Gang last night has probably alerted Homeland Security and the FBI. If they investigate further, they will inevitably find some... old grudges between Tifa, me, and the White Eagle Gang."
"Why don't we first think of a way to cover up what happened in Tifa's apartment building?" the Dragon Lord continued, speaking slowly. "For example, the killer who was shot in the head could be disguised as being hit by a large-caliber shotgun shell at close range. As for the one who fell from the third floor, we could also pretend he was shot during a gunfight or was pushed down. With your abilities, this shouldn't be difficult to accomplish."
"Tifa and I will go to school as usual, as if nothing happened. This way, we will arouse the least suspicion."
When Atlas heard this, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his deep eyes.
He tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger, pondered for a moment, then nodded. "'The great hide in the city,' that makes sense. The ancient wisdom of the East often finds the simplest and most effective solutions in even the most complex situations."
Without further ado, he immediately picked up the intercom on the table and issued an order in a deep voice: "Notify the 'cleaning team' to come up with a plan to deal with the scene at the 78th Street apartment in Queens within an hour. It must be done cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace."
Putting down the communicator, Atlas pulled out two ordinary-looking smartphones from his pocket and handed them to Dragonite and Tifa respectively. "These are encrypted communication devices. They are no different from ordinary phones for daily use, but they have our dedicated communication channel built in for easy communication."
He then removed two black watches that looked like ordinary sports watches from his wrist and placed them in front of the two people. "These are emergency beacons. If you encounter an unresolvable crisis, press this red button and we will immediately locate you and provide support." He glanced at Tifa and a smile played on his face. "Of course, with Miss Tifa's strength, I'm afraid these safety measures are a bit redundant. Your current strength is above Louise, and you are currently the most powerful fighter in our team."
Upon hearing this, Louise just raised his eyebrows and did not comment, but a barely perceptible competitive spirit flashed in his eyes.
"Tomorrow is Sunday, and school is closed," Atlas continued. "You two can stay here for a day to get familiar with the environment. The room is ready for you."
Under the guidance of a staff member, Lord Dragon and Tifa each received a set of well-fitting black combat uniforms.
The combat uniform is made of tough and elastic fabric and is cut close to the body.
After putting on the combat uniform, Tifa's explosive and perfect curves that were usually hidden by her school uniform and sportswear became more prominent, and her heroic spirit was mixed with an indescribable sexiness.
The two walked around the base casually, observing this huge and efficient underground kingdom.
All sorts of unprecedented high-tech equipment appeared before their eyes, like scenes from a science fiction movie. The staff members coming and going, whether they were intelligence analysts in sharp suits or security personnel armed with live ammunition, would stop respectfully and bow slightly when they saw them, especially Tifa.
Tifa watched all this, her bright dark brown eyes filled with confusion.
She whispered to the main dragon, "I... I just want to get into a good university, find a decent job after graduation, and live a stable life... How did I suddenly become... a superhero?"
The Dragon Master wore a faint smile and spoke in a relaxed tone, "If you want to get into a good university, you can continue to apply. Mr. Atlas is a smart man. To keep us here, he will definitely not impose too many restrictions on us. As for being a hero, why not just treat it as a... hobby?"
Tifa frowned slightly upon hearing this, her expression becoming somewhat serious. "If this world is truly about to enter a chaotic era of rampant demons, as Mr. Atlas says, then this 'hero' thing can't just be a hobby." She took a deep breath, her eyes growing firmer. "This involves human lives, so we can't be careless. I believe saving lives is a very honorable and meaningful job."
“Besides, it’s pretty cool!”
The Dragon Master looked at her serious yet playful profile and nodded, "You're right. However, simply having the power to save the world isn't enough. We also need to equip ourselves with knowledge and ideas. We still need to go to college, or at least read more books."
“Beep, beep, beep—!!”
At this moment, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the hall, and the red warning light flashed rapidly!
Atlas and Louis walked out of the conference room quickly with serious expressions.
"What happened?" Atlas asked in a deep voice.
An intelligence analyst quickly operated on the console, calling up a real-time monitoring screen and projecting it onto the main screen in the center of the hall.
"Report, sir! An unidentified giant organism has appeared on the coastline of Long Island! It's estimated to be approximately seven meters long, and its form... resembles a lizard!"
The image on the screen was a little shaky, obviously from an aerial shot taken by a high-altitude drone.
On the screen, a giant lizard covered with scales and six or seven meters long was running around on the coastal road.
Every time its sturdy limbs stepped on the asphalt ground, a dull "dong dong" sound was made, like a small earthquake; its head covered with hard scales was huge and ferocious, and its huge mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed, making a deafening roar, and smelly saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.
The orange-yellow vertical pupils flashed with a cold and cruel light in the firelight, like a demon from hell.
This guy didn't look strong, but he was like an out-of-control armored bulldozer, rushing straight towards a row of neatly parked cars on the side of the road; his shoulder muscles covered with rough scales were knotted, and with a sudden shake, he easily overturned a white car to the ground.
Then, it lowered its head and bit the roof of the car with its huge jaws covered with razor-like teeth. With the teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting, a huge gap was torn in the hard roof as if it were made of paper.
It didn't seem interested in the empty seats inside. It just shook its head irritably, threw the deformed metal wreckage aside, and rushed to the next target.
"The Pentagon has already responded," another analyst added. "They've deployed their latest model... 'Super Dog,' and are currently in contact with the target."
At the same time, in the Pentagon's special war room, the beautiful Secretary of Defense was nervously watching the real-time images of the Long Island area transmitted back by the drone through the high-definition video screen.
In the picture, in addition to the rampaging lizard-like monster, there are two Caucasian Shepherd Dogs with bodies as strong as tigers and shiny fur. They are astonishingly fast, like two black lightning bolts, approaching the giant lizard at high speed from the flank.
He stared at the screen, his voice trembling with excitement: "Come, let's see how good our results are!"
12 (Part 2). Aaron Bushnell
Atlas glanced at Luif and Tifa, and said in a deep voice, "Luif, you attack head-on. Try to keep the battlefield close to the coastline and prevent it from rushing into densely populated areas. Tifa, you will serve as the reserve. Stay hidden for now and observe from the shadows. If Luif encounters trouble or other unexpected situations arise, then act accordingly."
Louis nodded, a glint in his eyes.
Tifa took a deep breath and silently put on the black mask that came with her combat uniform, revealing only a pair of determined eyes.
Everyone in the hall focused their attention on the battlefield on the screen.
The "super dog" developed by the Ministry of National Defense looks pretty good.
A tiger-like body, lips revealing saber-toothed fangs, and eyes flashing with mad murderous intent...
A blend of the natural beauty of living creatures and the horror of a killing machine.
Unfortunately, how could something cultivated with scraps of soul essence possibly rival the high-dimensional creatures of the authentic Gaia's Dream?
"Ow—!"
"Roar--!"
At the moment when the "Super Dog" pounced...
The lizard monster suddenly twisted its body, and its giant tail, which was thicker than an adult's waist, was wrapped in a shrill sound that tore through the air. It was like a steel whip filled with power, sweeping out with the force of thunder!
The super dog bent its body as hard as it could and rolled to the side, its movements were extremely fast.
But the lizard's tail strike has too large a range and is too fast.
There was a dull thud, mixed with the sound of bones breaking, and the end of the tail hit the super dog's waist and ribs hard.
