Its body was filled with explosive muscle, and its massive mouth, studded with razor-sharp teeth, took up almost two-thirds of its head! Its bright red dorsal fin gleamed in the sunlight like a flaming sword, full of ominous majesty!
"Oh my God! What is that?!"
Tourists who were sunbathing on the beach screamed in fear.
The fish-shaped monster seemed to have no interest in these tiny humans. It slammed back into the sea, causing huge waves!
But at this moment, a huge back arched out on the sea surface.
The sailors who had participated in the previous military exercise screamed in panic.
"Leviathan!"
"Leviathan is coming!"
"Unlike... Leviathan doesn't have a dorsal fin."
"Damn it! You actually have the time to pay attention to such details! I just know that no matter what it is, we are all dead!"
However, in the extreme fear and panic, no one noticed that the giant beast seemed to be seriously ill.

Today's update is over 12,000, okay? Oh, and there's another chapter tonight.
48. Titans Clash, Mortals Suffer
In fact, the main dragon did not let the "Dallasaurus", also known as the "Leviathan" by the US military, sit idle all day like its "Yabe Dragon" counterpart who was still taking care of children in the Hudson River.
"If you just stay in the water without exercising, you'll gain weight."
Over the past few weeks, he has occasionally let his giant pet, named "Leviathan", take a stroll across the vast Pacific Ocean.
Sometimes, in the remote waters of Hawaii, a luxury cruise ship full of tourists suddenly passes by a dark blue back that looks like a moving island on a sunny afternoon.
Sometimes, on the busy route connecting the Far East and the North American continent, a container ship loaded with "Dongda-made" is sailing late at night. Through the ship's sonar, it detects an unrecognizable huge creature over 100 meters long, which is swimming slowly and leisurely at a depth of several hundred meters below the bottom of the ship.
But "Leviathan" has always behaved very "friendly", even "docile".
It never approaches human ships on its own initiative. Once it finds that a ship's route overlaps with its own, it will even dive and circle around it, showing a "politeness" unique to highly intelligent creatures towards weak species.
The most outrageous one was when a Japanese ocean-going whaling ship (of course, they claimed to be a "scientific research fishing vessel") witnessed the huge blue figure emerging from the deep sea while chasing a group of humpback whales.
The crew thought they were doomed, but the "Leviathan" did not kill the whaling ship. Instead, it started a friendly tour with a group of killer whales that happened to pass by and were known for their mischievous behavior.
The scene was as warm as an animal documentary filmed by the Discovery Channel, if you ignore the size of the giant beast.
[+5000 Wish Power, from the shock and survival of the Japanese whaling ship crew]
[+8000 wishes, inspired by the wonder and curiosity of luxury cruise passengers]
These scattered wishes from witnesses around the world, although not much at a time, have accumulated over time and have contributed a stable income of more than 30,000 points to the main dragon in the past few weeks.
It is precisely these "biological" and seemingly "mild and harmless" behaviors that have caused the Pentagon bureaucrats, who have forgotten the pain after the wound has healed, to have evil thoughts again.
Inside the White House Situation Room, a huge electronic screen was playing a loop of footage of Leviathan playing with killer whales, captured by a submarine in the deep sea.
"Gentlemen, did you see that?" The Minister of Defense pointed at the screen, a smile of greed and confidence on his face. "Although it's huge, it's still just a 'beast'! It has its own behavioral patterns and ecological habits! It even plays with killer whales! What does this mean? It means it's not invincible! It's just... a larger marine lizard that can attack from a distance!"
"That's right!" the CIA director echoed. "Any living thing has weaknesses! We can exploit its predatory instincts, or... its mating instincts? In short, as long as we can find the right 'bait', we have a chance to lure it where we want it to go!"
"For example, the uninhabited area in the South Pacific, far away from the sphere of influence of the East." The eyes of the defense minister flashed with the light of a nuclear explosion.
A group of people once again began to heatedly discuss the feasibility of "luring and bombing Leviathan", as if the shame of being dismantled in public last time had disappeared with these "heartwarming" videos.
They felt that they were capable again.
However, they never dreamed that this seemingly docile "sea lizard" would give them a big blow today!
"Alert! Alert! Underwater sonar array No. 037 continuously detects abnormal high-energy responses! Target characteristics... cannot be identified! Repeat! Unable to identify!"
Inside the underground command center of the Pacific Fleet Headquarters, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
"...Alert! Alert! An unidentified giant organism has been spotted off the coast of Pearl Harbor! Repeat! An unidentified giant organism has been spotted!"
This alert caused both the Pentagon and the Pacific Fleet Command to explode.
"What?! What is that thing?! What does it want to do?!"
"It's not a Leviathan! But it's also huge! It's over thirty meters long, but much thicker than a blue whale! And much faster too!"
But this time, the public and the media reacted faster than the military.
Because, just over ten minutes before the military sounded the alarm, the local ocean observation station in Hawaii and countless tourists who were fishing and surfing near the coast of Oahu had witnessed an even more bizarre scene.
“Crash——!!!”
A ferocious fish-shaped monster with a body length of more than 30 meters, covered with fine scales like frosted obsidian, and with a bright red dorsal fin like a burning flame running from head to tail, suddenly jumped out of the water!
It was the "perfect bait" that Zhulong had secretly released into this sea area a few days ago using the unlucky and sick Chinese bowfin.
The code name given to it by the main dragon is "Red Fin Dragon".
Almost at the moment the "Redfin Dragon" appeared, countless tourists who were on vacation at the beach screamed in fear and raised their mobile phones.
The paparazzi and media reporters who have been squatting near the coastline for many years and have a sense of smell more sensitive than that of dogs, were like being injected with chicken blood, and immediately released the various long-focus drones they carried with them.
Several helicopters belonging to major media outlets such as CNN and FOX rushed towards the sea area where the incident occurred, like flies smelling blood.
They thought they were just lucky enough to capture the exclusive news of another "supernatural creature appearing in the world."
But what happened next made them realize that they had just encountered a drama of the century that would go down in history!
"Boom——!!!"
Just as the media's cameras locked onto the ferocious "Red Fin Dragon", the sea surface behind it suddenly arched upwards, revealing the huge dark blue back that was so familiar to people all over the world, like a moving island!
It's Leviathan!
"Oh my God! It's Leviathan! It's here too!" CNN reporter Christine once again let out her signature scream full of shock and excitement.
Leviathan appeared without hesitation, not even glancing at the buzzing "bugs" in the sky. Its eyes, as cold as the abyss, locked onto the "Redfin Dragon" thrashing on the sea surface, and then, it suddenly accelerated!
This is a chase and hunt without any suspense, full of the beauty of primitive wildness!
Although the "Redfin Dragon" is huge in size, it looks as helpless and small as a small crucian carp in a pond in front of the Leviathan, which is several times longer than it.
It wailed in terror, lashing its tail desperately, trying to escape. But Leviathan was faster, and each collision easily left a wound deep enough to see the bone, and bright red blood instantly dyed the azure sea red.
The battlefield between the two giants spread from the near sea all the way towards the military port of Pearl Harbor.
The harbor was instantly in chaos.
The Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine USS Cheyenne, which was being resupplied at the dock, and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Hopper, which was anchored not far away, became the life-saving straws in the eyes of the Redfin Dragon.
The cunning "Redfin Dragon" actually tried to use these two huge warships as cover to avoid Leviathan's pursuit!
But it's of no use.
"boom!"
Leviathan swung its tail violently, causing the destroyer "Hopper" that was trying to block the way to tilt to one side and crash into the dock, making a harsh metal friction sound!
A huge, horrific dent was left on the destroyer's hull. The cables on the dock snapped instantly under the immense force, making a crisp "crackling" sound. The sailors on the deck screamed in terror and fled in all directions like headless flies, some even jumping directly into the sea.
The USS Cheyenne, however, was even more unlucky. Leviathan's massive bulk had crushed it in pursuit! Under the weight of the Leviathan, the submarine's sturdy hull instantly buckled and dented like a can under a steamroller, sending black seawater madly pouring into the damaged compartments.
Inside the naval port, the sounds of alarms, explosions, and people crying mixed together, as if it was the end of the world.
In the end, this short and bloody chase came to an end in the central channel of the naval port.
Although the "Redfin Dragon" struggled hard, it ultimately could not escape the fate of being hunted.
Leviathan opened its bloody mouth full of razor-sharp teeth and bit the middle of the Redfin Dragon's body.
“Crack—!!!!”
Amidst the terrifying sound of bones and flesh being crushed, which made one's teeth ache, the Redfin Dragon's sturdy body was dragged by Leviathan to the sea dozens of kilometers outside Pearl Harbor.
There, the "Redfin Dragon" was bitten into two pieces!
A large amount of blood and broken internal organs instantly dyed the sea surface within a radius of hundreds of meters red, forming a shocking and ominous dark red.
Leviathan held the still twitching half of the corpse with the head in its mouth, slowly dived into the deep sea, and disappeared.
Only the other half of the broken, more than ten-meter-long giant fish tail was left, floating on the red sea like a bloody trophy.
Inside the Pentagon's secret command center, the Secretary of Defense looked at the red-dyed seawater on the screen, as well as the half-dead fish carcass that exuded an "extraordinary aura." The fear on his face caused by the appearance of Leviathan had long been replaced by an almost insane joy.
His internet celebrity face, which looked a little stiff due to excessive botulinum toxin injections, was now distorted by extreme excitement, and he even shed a few tears of excitement.
"God bless the United States! God bless the United States!"
He grabbed the red emergency phone on the table and roared like a madman into the microphone.
"Order! Command all mobile ships of the Pacific Fleet! Immediately! Full speed! Head to the sea area where the incident occurred! Drive away all those damn media ships and fishing boats circling the bloody water! Establish the highest level of military alert! Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy!"
"Send out our most professional salvage boat! Pull up that half-fish carcass completely, without a single scale missing! Quick! Quick!"
He could almost imagine that the "supernatural factors" contained in the remains of the more than ten-meter-long giant beast were probably more than the previous little scorpion and several small lizards combined!
"Hahaha! The size of the 'Super Marun' force can be at least doubled! No! Tripled! We can even carry out bolder and crazier plans based on these new genetic samples!"
"Like... trapping Leviathan!"
An unprecedented ambition was growing wildly in his heart like poison ivy.
"That idiot has a predatory habit! It'll even expose itself to eat a fish! If we can create a tastier, more energetically reactive 'bait' and lure it to the South Pacific... Hahaha! Then all those boasts we made before will come true!"
The Secretary of Defense was immersed in the fantasy of future "glorious results" and did not notice at all that on the big screen behind him, an inconspicuous report of abnormal seismic waves from the New York State Geological Survey Department was flashing by.
And now, in northern New York City, deep in an unknown underground air-raid shelter network that had been abandoned for many years.
"Crunch... crunch..."
A huge beast covered with dark green hard scales is tirelessly digging into the hard rock with its sharp claws.
Its claws, like iron hooks, could easily scrape large chunks of rubble from the solid rock wall with every swing. Behind it was a deep and dark tunnel that had been dug for dozens of kilometers.
In those orange-yellow vertical pupils, there was no longer the previous brutality and madness, but instead a hint of... confusion and exploration.
49. The highly motivated Yabe Dragon monster
Since the thrilling turmoil in South Dakota, life in New York seems to have been slowed down and returned to "ordinary" daily life.
At least, that's how it seems.
The biggest change came from Jingxue, an Indian girl with a cool temperament like a clear spring in the snow-capped mountains.
Under Atlas's arrangement, this newly awakened "Beast Soul Warrior" not only successfully transferred to the chaotic No. 499 High School, becoming the nominal "junior" of the Dragon King and Tifa, but also even moved into the long-vacant apartment next to Tifa.
Thus, the world that originally belonged to the main dragon and Tifa was squeezed in by a slim and silent figure.
Every morning, three people walked together to school from the downstairs of the apartment building; in the library, they changed from sitting side by side to forming a slightly subtle "three-legged tripod"; after school, the queue that walked together through the familiar, dirty alley and headed to the "Wisdom Tree" bookstore also had a quiet follower.
It's just... Tifa seems a little unhappy.
This unhappiness was subtle, not directed at Jingxue. In fact, Tifa showed immense warmth and kindness towards this compatriot who had fought alongside them in times of crisis. She took the initiative to look after this "junior" who was still a bit unfamiliar with the new environment at school, patiently explaining exercises she had already mastered, and even thoughtfully prepared warm milk for her while working part-time.
But her unhappiness is real and exists all the time.
The wish power prompt in the master dragon's mind is the best proof.
[+20 Wish Power, from Tifa's Lost]
[+15 Wish Power, from Tifa's melancholy]
This kind of hint would always come quietly when the Lord Dragon inadvertently said a few more words to Jingxue, or when he spent a little longer answering Jingxue's questions in the library.
The main dragon was also helpless about this.
"I can't just kick her out, can I?" He complained to himself more than once. "She didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't say anything wrong. She just quietly followed me, looking at me with starry eyes of admiration. If I dared to push her out, not to mention what Tifa would think, I'd feel guilty myself!"
not to mention……
[+15 Wish Power, from Jingxue's longing]
[+10 Wish Power, derived from Jingxue's joy at the Lord Dragon's encouraging look]
Who would be willing to distance themselves from such a high-quality "positive emotion ATM"?
Therefore, he could only enjoy this sweet trouble with peace of mind in this slightly subtle "threesome".
"Hmm, it feels like Tifa provides a little more wish power? Is it because she and I are more familiar with each other? So, I have to increase Jingxue's favorability as well, and at the same time, I can't fall behind in Tifa's favorability."
