I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

When he noticed Su Nan looking at him, he hurriedly pulled out the pistol from his pocket.

"You, you stay away!" He pointed at Su Nan, his heart filled with fear, his legs trembling.

He never imagined that anyone could grow this big.

This is not human.

He's a monster!

Seeing Su Nan raise her leg, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The gunshots frightened many people so much that they covered their heads and crouched on the ground.

The director was so startled by this sudden change that he almost wet himself and hurriedly hid behind the car.

Wang Jianqiang's heart sank as well.

However, when he saw the bullet that bounced off Su Nan, he was momentarily stunned.

Hongze's first shot had no effect, so he continued to pull the trigger without hesitation until the magazine was empty.

His face turned even paler.

The bullets that were fired didn't even leave a mark on Su Nan.

Su Nan had already walked up to him and raised her right leg.

Before Hongze could even speak, he was kicked away.

Su Nan was also stunned when she saw Hongze turn into a parabola.

He deliberately held back, but unexpectedly kicked him over the high wall. He figured this time it wouldn't just be a broken arm or leg.

But he didn't take it seriously.

Having survived a bullet wound, he felt more confident about his situation.

Even artillery shells must not harm us in the slightest!

Even if he were to encounter a nuclear explosion, he would have the magical artifact his brother had given him, enough to protect him completely.

He looked around.

A security guard in the park had just picked up his gun when he suddenly saw Su Nan looking over. He quickly dropped the gun and raised his hands.

Wang Jianqiang was shocked by Su Nan's strength, but he didn't forget the important matter and quickly brought his men under control.

They were the most elite soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, and dealing with this rabble in the park was a piece of cake for them.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the director quietly stood up from behind the car.

He patted the dust off his clothes, and his expression returned to normal.

Although he managed his facial expressions very well, he was anything but calm.

He had never dealt with Su Nan before and knew little about her. Earlier, when he learned that they were going on a trip together, an old friend hinted that Su Nan had powerful connections and that he should definitely cultivate a good relationship with her.

He naively thought his old friend was talking nonsense.

Without a powerful background, how could one possibly rise to the position of vice minister in such a short time?

But now he realizes how naive he was.

To possess such superhuman strength, one must have a truly "heaven-reaching" background!

He didn't think the other party was a monster. Not to mention that he had vaguely heard some rumors about dragons, even the higher-ups of the Great Xia wouldn't allow a monster to hold a high position.

He rubbed his face, trying to make his smile more genuine. Just as he approached Su Nan, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Grab him! He's trying to run away!"

The director felt the ground tremble violently, and then he saw Su Nan fly out like a cannonball.

A loud rumbling sound came from afar. He turned his head and was shocked to find that the wall there had collapsed, and several people were screaming in agony under the broken wall. Su Nan was already standing on the broken wall.

The distance between here and there was over a hundred meters. He had only blinked once, and the other person had already passed by.

Monster! He's a monster!

Su Nan stood on the broken wall, feeling a sense of embarrassment.

He originally intended to stop the group, but he didn't control his strength well. When he flew over, he deviated slightly and crashed into the wall, crushing the group underneath.

He usually thought he was doing well in training, but he never expected that he would make mistakes at crucial moments.

However, he also realized that these people were probably the person in charge of the park. They had been heading towards Hongze not long ago, but when they saw that things were not going well, they tried to slip away.

Thinking of this, he looked at the iron cage in the distance.

The creature that had been lying in the cage had gotten up, hunched over, and was looking at him with an expression of adoration.

Meeting the other person's gaze, he could only put his hands behind his back and pretend that everything was under his control.

After jumping off the wall, he walked toward the delegation.

Realizing that the danger here had passed, he withdrew his strength, and his swollen body gradually shrank.

When he walked up to the crowd, his body shape had returned to normal, but his clothes were all tattered, making him look quite comical.

Fortunately, his high-elasticity underwear was still intact, so he didn't embarrass himself in public.

In fact, no one dared to think too much about it.

Everyone looked at Su Nan with undisguised awe and admiration.

Some of the guys who initially thought he was lucky and were a little resentful were now completely convinced.

Only power can bring about the most primal worship, especially this most fundamental physical power!

The director was the first to step forward, exclaiming in amazement, "Minister Su, you're truly a hidden talent! I never imagined you could be so amazing!"

"We owe this all to Minister Su!" an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs chimed in.

The others all expressed their sincere admiration.

Su Nan was a little flattered by everyone's words, but she quickly regained her composure.

He waved his hand and said, "First, take control of this place, contact the country, and wait for the mastermind behind it all to see what he's up to."

He was quite curious as to who would dare to kidnap the Great Xia delegation at this time.

He had heard his brother mention the situation in the United States. Many of the high-ranking officials there had already been "united" by Liu Conglin. Could it be the remaining die-hards?

But shouldn't they be targeting Liu Conglin?

Or perhaps some other force?

Wang Jianqiang looked at Su Nan, who was standing there quietly, seemingly deep in thought, and became even more curious.

Who exactly is this Minister Su? He seems to be no weaker than their Captain Lei.

Could it be that he has some connection with Bai Long?

He secretly pondered, planning to ask Lei Yao next time he saw him, to see if the old captain knew the inside story.

At this moment, Lei Yao is under a volcano in northern Shanxi Province.

Since learning about the subtle relationship between spirit stones and dysprosium compounds, their investigation of this volcanic cluster has focused on the volcano located next to a rare earth mine.

Chapter 163 Lava Sea and Dragon Statue

Lei Yao and his group had visited this place more than a month ago.

As Bai Lin had instructed, he used his Fire Dragon Mountain identity token to explore all the volcanoes in the area, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

He had naturally visited this volcano before, but it had been dormant for thousands of years, and the crater was sealed off, so there was no way for him to go deeper inside.

After focusing his attention on the volcano, he requested that an engineering team be brought in to assist with the excavation.

He plans to dig a tunnel directly from the ground to the bottom of the mountain.

If there is anything extraordinary in this volcano, it must be at its bottom.

After days of digging, a huge pit was dug out in front of the mountain.

To excavate further downwards, he applied for a tunnel boring machine.

With the addition of this behemoth, the excavation speed increased considerably.

In just a few days, a hole hundreds of meters deep appeared at the bottom of the pit.

At this moment, Lei Yao is inside the tunnel boring machine at the deepest part of the cave.

Operating this machine requires a professional driver. Lei Yao had followed the machine for two days and learned the basics of its operation. He wanted to try it out himself, but almost caused a minor accident.

After this incident, he calmed down and obediently sat in the passenger seat.

The driver's name was Pang Bofeng, a man in his forties, whom everyone called Lao Pang.

The other co-driver was his son, who, after graduating from university, couldn't find a suitable job and followed in his father's footsteps to operate the tunnel boring machine.

Old Pang was taciturn, while Little Pang was quite outgoing, even a bit talkative.

He kept chattering away, seemingly used to being in front of Lei Yao, the "big leader" his father had mentioned, asking all sorts of questions.

At first, Lao Pang would say a few words, but after realizing that Lei Yao didn't seem to care, he was happy to have his son chat with him.

He didn't know Lei Yao's true identity, but when he saw the top leader of the construction team and even the officials who came to inspect the site treating him with utmost respect, he knew that the other party must be a very important person whom he could not possibly reach.

He felt incredibly flattered that the other person was willing to sit in the passenger seat and work with him deep underground.

He would be more than happy if his son could chat with him a little longer.

He didn't expect the other party to help his son; he was long past the age of dreaming. However, even a few words of advice from the other party would be enough to benefit his son immensely.

Therefore, although Lao Pang didn't say much, he listened to their conversation and tried to remember the life lessons Lei Yao spoke of, so that he could use them to advise his son in private.

This kid is too impulsive and can't seem to get motivated when it comes to serious matters. He needs to be properly disciplined and encouraged.

Unfortunately, he never heard any profound life lessons from Lei Yao.

This "leader" seemed to be a quiet type, just like me, rarely speaking on his own initiative; it was mostly his son who kept talking.

A smile occasionally appeared on his lips, as if he were in a good mood.

Lao Pang felt that he had a somewhat repressed and eccentric personality.

Fortunately, so was he.

Unlike him, Xiao Pang didn't pay much attention.

He was simply bored underground and wanted to chat with someone to relieve his boredom.

Although Lei Yao is a bit dull, he has a good personality and won't get scolded like his father.

As for feeling nervous because of the other party's identity, that's even less likely.

He had no ulterior motives, so what did it matter if the other party was a god?

He was genuinely curious about Lei Yao's identity.

"Captain Lei, I've heard everyone call you Captain Lei," Xiao Pang couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question he'd been holding back for days, "What kind of captain are you, anyway?"

"Could it be the mine inspection team?"

Upon hearing his words, Old Pang's ears perked up.

He was incredibly curious.

What could possibly warrant this high-ranking leader coming down in person? He could have simply sent one of his subordinates.

Lei Yao was in a good mood lately, and upon hearing this, he said, "I used to be in the special forces brigade, and that's what everyone was used to calling me."

As for his position as the security team leader at Yatou Mountain, he naturally wouldn't reveal it rashly.

"Special Forces?" Xiao Pang asked in surprise.

What are the special forces doing here?

He then thought that the other party might have transferred to a military-industrial enterprise.

Could it be that they dug this tunnel underground because they discovered some kind of strategic mineral?

Various guesses came to Xiao Pang's mind, but he knew it was inappropriate to inquire about such matters, so he wisely refrained from asking further.

Instead, he inquired about the criteria for selecting special forces soldiers.

After listening to Lei Yao's story, Xiao Pang sighed and said, "I wanted to go to military school, but my dad insisted that I study civil engineering."
