Chapter I
Luoshanji, USA.
The largest city on the West Coast of the United States has long been synonymous with prosperity and crime. In the scorching sun of near noon, the thriving downtown area is bustling with traffic, and countless cars of all sizes line up the steel dragons on the criss-crossing roads.
Tony, a taxi driver of Mexican descent, is curled up in his cab in boredom, waiting for the endless line of cars in front of and behind him to slowly move forward, and the soothing country music on the car radio makes him drowsy.
"Damn it, it's been two hours." Helplessly wiping a handful of sweat, Tony began to wonder if it was time to repair the air conditioner in the car.
At this moment, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and the entire cab was immediately plunged into darkness.
"What's wrong? Got dark? Or a solar eclipse? Tony was surprised and looked out.
It was a large shadow, including his car, surrounded by a dozen cars and sidewalks on both sides, showing the sheer size of the object that created it.
Tony was still strange when he heard a blonde girl on the sidewalk on the left looking at the sky and screaming hoarsely, looking at the look on her face that was more frightened than the beautiful woman who was being dragged by King Kong.
"What the hell is going on?" Like many drivers, Tony struggled to reach out and look up, then stunned by what he saw.
What the hell is this?
In mid-air, a giant beast that should only exist in mythology appears alive in front of people's eyes. Its body is like a mountain, its head and tail are tens of meters apart, and its wings on its back are like the pages of a windmill, and its fiery red scales glitter, and the sunlight is blocked by it, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
That's right, almost everyone recognized it in an instant, it was a dragon.
But is this possible? How could this kind of thing, which only exists in myths and legends, appear alive in front of your eyes? Almost everyone subconsciously thought that this must be the special effects of a Hollywood studio, and some even thought that it was a trick of some magician.
The influence of modern civilization on human beings is so deep that they think that it cannot be a living thing, so the panic instantly dissipates, and soon people are talking in amazement.
Soon, though, they got a taste of true horror.
The dragon glanced indifferently at the foolish people below, its wings flapping gracefully, and with it, a strong wind that swept through the streets. People exclaimed in surprise and squatted down to protect their heads and faces.
With a high-pitched groan, the dragon soared into the sky, its massive forelimbs poking out deep into the wall of a tall building, and then its entire body clinging to it, and countless shards of glass splashed down.
As depicted in countless pictures, the dragon easily crouched on the "peak" of the tall building, raised its nose and took a deep breath, and then showed a look of disgust on its face. As if fed up with the foul air of the city, the dragon sneezed, and puffs of smoke immediately spilled from its nostrils and between its teeth.
"Behold, it moves, and I will say that it is alive." The people below immediately became excited.
I don't know if I was disgusted with the environment here, or decided to teach these people who disrespected themselves a lesson, the dragon's wings were slightly retracted, and the next moment the huge body of Ruoshan threw itself into the air. With its wings spread, it glides down the street below with a graceful swoop.
Watching the dragon gradually fill the field of vision as it got closer and closer, people turned from initial excitement to fear, and the flow of people on the street retreated like a tidal wave. That's when disaster struck.
"Shhhh In the high-pitched roar of the dragon, the dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a scorching flame as thick as magma.
In an instant, a wave of fire surged, vigorously moving forward along the narrow space between the streets, like mercury poured into the glass tank, rolling flames filled every possible space, and whenever there was a fork in the road, a stream of fire penetrated through, and if you looked down in mid-air, you could see a red spider web slowly spreading in the center of Luoshanji.
What a terrible situation it was, for the fleeing people were like the victims of a tsunami, who were instantly annihilated by the flames before they could escape. It was a real dragon's breath, and the scorching heat of melted steel turned the bustling streets black in an instant mixed with all kinds of molten objects.
Seemingly satisfied with its "masterpiece", the dragon flapped its wings and slowly rose upward, and as its body crossed all the tall buildings in the block, an astonishing scene occurred.
The three-headed dragon floated silently in the air in a zigzag shape, indifferently staring at the disaster that his companion had brought below. The moment he saw the red dragon ascending, the largest green dragon raised its head and let out an angry groan.
It's like a command, it's like a compliment to a companion, but it's more like a declaration to humanity that when patience reaches its extreme, it's the most angry challenge.
Hearing the roar of the green dragon, all the dragons swooped down in all directions in an instant, and the next moment the entire city entered the deepest terror.
*********************************************************************
This is the dragon, the race that the gods created on this planet, the most powerful intelligent creature on earth, the monster that can destroy the country in legends, the highest trial stone for mankind to prove its bravery...
Every flap of their wings is a hurricane; Every time you spit out, it's a sea of fire; Sharp claws can crush anything; A strong body that can withstand all damage...
Everything about dragons in the legends has been verified today, but it is the most terrible one.
Under the double blow of spirit and substance, the entire Luoshanji fell into an unprecedented disaster. People are running for each other, cars are clogging up the roads, horns are blaring, buildings are collapsing, streets are on fire, everything is like the end of the world as depicted in the Bible.
However, as the most powerful country in the world, the U.S. military reacted quickly, and within ten minutes of the dragon's rage, five F-15 fighter jets were already roaring from a nearby military base.
"Oh my God, what's that?" The pilots were stunned to see the dragons pounce on the city from the cockpit.
But after all, he was a battle-hardened soldier, and the captain in the lead immediately issued an attack order: "The wingman spreads around, let me attack it." β
With a light fuselage, the four planes scattered in all directions, whistling past the green dragon suspended in mid-air. Without looking at the human-made machines, the green dragon remained proud and graceful, watching the actions of its companions below.
"Whatever you are, die!" The lieutenant viciously burst out from between his teeth, and the fighter shuddered slightly, and two heat-seeking missiles had been fired from under the wings.
Dragging the scorching tail flame, the missile instantly reached the green dragon's body. As if to be alert at this point, it squinted at the two things, its huge wings flapping slightly.
At the moment when the missile touched its body, a round ball of light burst out from outside the green dragon's body, and the missile exploded immediately after the ball of light exploded, and the two flames instantly swallowed the green dragon.
"W-What is that?" The lieutenant was taken aback.
The flames dissipated, and countless thin cracks broke on the surface of the ball of light, and it seemed that it was also surprised by the powerful power of the human weapon, and the green dragon shook its big head, and the ball of light flew slightly higher.
"So you know to be scared, too!" The lieutenant snorted, and then ordered: "Aim at this monster, everyone attack together, repeat, attack together." β
After receiving the order, five fighters fired ten missiles from different directions, like a net covering the green dragon. The lieutenant was confident that it would kill the Green Dragon, and no matter how it dodged, the heat-homing missile that locked on it would bite until it destroyed its target.
Missiles are fired from all directions, no matter which side they dodge, they will be hit, and the green dragon seems to be out of options, it quietly stops in the center of the fighter encirclement, looking like it is resigned to fate.
However, a strange thing happened at this time, when the missile flew close to the green dragon, suddenly all the warheads deflected in unison, as if they were blind, staggered past the green dragon, and all of them were shot into the air.
"What's going on!?" The lieutenant could hardly believe his eyes.
Inadvertently glancing at the imaging screen, the lieutenant was surprised to find that the flickering infrared light cluster representing the green dragon had completely disappeared at some point.
"How can it bring its temperature below freezing?" The lieutenant screamed in disbelief. Without heat, the heat-homing missile poses no threat to the Green Dragon.
Seeing the missiles shoot into the sky, he was immediately attracted by the sea of fire below, and shot into the city one after another, causing bursts of explosions, and the lieutenant completely forgot to react for a while.
At this moment, the green dragon's counterattack began. Twisting its body, its thick neck narrowed slightly, and then stretched forward like lightning, and a beam of blazing white lightning had spewed out of its mouth.
Seeing Bai Mang quickly fill his field of vision, the lieutenant in a daze reacted, he blocked his face and screamed in vain, and then the fighter exploded into a fireball and fell into the city.
The death of the lieutenant emboldened the remaining pilots, just kidding, how could there be a chance of winning a battle with such a monster? Regardless of whether they would be court-martialed if they escaped from the battle, the remaining four fighters turned their fuselages one after another.
How could the green dragon allow them to walk so easily? Swinging its wings to accelerate with all its might, it slammed into the four planes with an astonishing speed that did not fit its size. Then, four fireballs exploded one after another.
Raising his head and groaning excitedly, the green dragon swooped down and joined in the ravages of the city.
However, the frightened citizens of Luoshanji did not know that on this day, not only Luoshanji, Lyon, Birmingham, Milan, Barcelona, Toronto... Almost every Western power, an important city outside the capital, was attacked by a dragon.
This move shocked the world!
*********************************************************************
The dragon's attack came and went faster. Half an hour later, as had been agreed, the dragons in all the cities retreated and disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a ruined city.
Reports of damage to major Western cities reached the Vatican through snowflakes of the local church, and Konstantin sat in the middle of the snow. For a few hours, the personable pope looked haggard as if he had changed his mind, and his gaze was extremely dull because of mental tension and anxiety.
At the moment, there is only one thought in Konstantin's mind: why? Why did the Dragons carry out such a large-scale operation? Have they already discovered the movements of the Holy See?
Konstantin was deeply frightened, although Rome was not attacked this time, if the dragons had indeed realized the truth about the theft of the dragon egg, it was only a matter of time before the dragons' wrath befell here.
Thinking of something suddenly, Konstantin, who was anxious, jumped up and shouted: "Come on, come on!" β
A clergyman who was with him hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" β
"Call Cardinal Ross back to me at once."
Seeing the Pope's anxious appearance, the priest did not dare to delay, bowed and bowed and hurriedly retreated. Sitting back in his chair and gasping for breath, Konstantin wiped his face wearily, and soon summoned another priest.
"Who are the Templars guarding the Holy City now?" Konstantin asked.
Since the last attack by the Blood Demons, the Vatican's barrier had been completely destroyed, and the Templars had begun to garrison the Holy City to protect the Pope's safety as a matter of safety.
The priest thought for a moment and replied, "It's Locke, Your Majesty the Pope." β
"Call him for me at once." Konstantin commanded.
The priest quickly retreated, and the room was quiet again. Konstantin sighed, picked up a report and read it for a while, only to feel confused, and was about to put it down.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the room, mixed with many people, "Who are you?" "What are you going to do...".
Konstantin couldn't help frowning, why is there always so much going on when he is upset? Could it be that some reckless tourist insisted on breaking in? But the papal guards outside were enough to stop them.
Just as he was confused, the door of the room was smashed to pieces, and a priest fell in like a gourd. Konstantin was taken aback, and just as he got up from his chair, a man slowly walked in.
This is a bald, bearded, tall old man. He had a terrifying physique that was not normal, nearly three meters tall, with knotted muscles and a white beard that cascaded down to his chest. Although he was only wearing a simple and crude linen white robe, the old man gave people an incomparably majestic feeling.
If the Giants would make people feel like they were facing a hill, then the old man was a mountain at all. There was no expression on his face, but he was stared at by his huge bronze bell eyes, and Konstantin actually had the illusion of falling into an ice cellar, and an uncontrollable cold rose from his spine to the top of his head.
What a terrible person this is... You must know that Constantine, the pope, is not in vain, and his cultivation is unparalleled in the Holy City, as much as Ralph and Rus. But just being stared at by this old man made me tremble, what kind of terrifying strength did this person in front of him have?
"Who are you..."Konstantin tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and was just about to find out the identity of the person who came, when a person suddenly flashed in his mind, and the whole person retreated into the chair in shock.
"You're... You'reβ" Konstantin pointed at the old man with a trembling voice.
The moment the old man entered the room, it was like a giant beast slowly entering, and although Constantine's papal office was three hundred square meters, it gave the illusion that it was completely occupied by something.
When he came to Konstantin's desk, the old man sat down cross-legged, and even so, he still looked down at the other party condescendingly: "You stole my child, but forgot who I am?" β
"Dragon...", Konstantin said the word in a trembling voice.
