On the surface of the sea, a serpentine creature emerged, with a slender body nearly ten feet long, covered in elegant deep blue scale armor, as if crafted from blue crystal.

The crocodile-like head lifted high, with a short, thick horn on the top, its eyes resembled deep, cold ponds, exuding a noble and mysterious aura.

This mysterious dragon-like creature roamed constantly on the sea surface, its massive body stirring the water below, creating terrifying waves and whirlpools.

"Dean, it shouldn't be a dragon. According to expert analysis, this dragon-like creature is most likely the legendary Jiao, possessing a trace of the dragon's lineage."

Hearing this, Assistant Zhang hurriedly explained.

"Jiao Dragon! This is a legendary creature!"

Coming back to his senses, Dean Lin sighed, truly shocked, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Compared to the Thunder Tiger King, Black Demon Tiger King, and Golden Eagle King, these ferocious beasts still have prototypes that can be found in reality, and humans can accept seeing them.

But this Jiao Dragon is different, as it has always been a fantasy creature, with no analogous beings in reality.

"How powerful is this Jiao? Has the navy department attempted to kill or expel it?"

Dean Lin raised his eyes to Assistant Zhang.

"Dean, this Jiao is at least Tier 3, with shield capabilities, extremely powerful. The imperial navy lost a light destroyer in a single encounter... With the current strength of the navy, it's very difficult to kill or expel it in the ocean."

Assistant Zhang's expression slightly changed, nodding solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Dean Lin furrowed his brows. The Jiao's strength was indeed not weak, and the ocean was its domain, making things rather difficult.

With the current strength of the Great Qin Empire, unless Forbidden Weapons were deployed, it was nearly impossible to kill the Jiao in the ocean.

But deploying Forbidden Weapons wasn't easy to push forward. Last time, to strike at the Thunder Tiger, they exerted enormous effort to barely succeed.

This time, the damage caused by the Jiao Dragon to the Great Qin Empire was much less than last time with the Thunder Tiger, making it quite difficult to have the highest executive committee approve the plan, in Dean Lin's view.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Dean Lin, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Since we can't handle this fellow, let's bring in a stronger one. I don't believe this Jiao is stronger than the Thunder Tiger."

Ever since the Imperial Capital announced the Thunder Tiger as the national emblem beast, the Great Qin Empire had sent many spiritual objects over, and Changbai Mountain had received them without refusal.

In the past half-month, the Thunder Tiger and humans had coexisted without any friction.

This made Dean Lin extremely pleased. The decision he made earlier was indeed the right one, and the Thunder Tiger can indeed be appeased.

"Thunder Tiger?"

Assistant Zhang was surprised, not expecting the dean to have the idea to involve the Thunder Tiger.

This fellow was indeed extraordinary, if it could be persuaded to take action, the Jiao menace might be resolved in an instant.

"Regardless of whether it works or not, let's try it out! If it works, then in the future, when we encounter tricky situations, apart from Forbidden Weapons, we'll have another option. Go handle it quickly!"

Dean Lin smiled faintly, speaking slowly.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Assistant Zhang's eyes lit up, nodding with some surprise, and quickly turned to walk out.

...

Changbai Mountain

Buzz buzz buzz~

Familiar noises came from the sky outside the valley.

"Big brother, humans have come again."

Nangong Luo heard the noise and called to Jiang Che not far away.

"You go handle it!"

Interrupted while nurturing a spirit treasure, Jiang Che opened his eyes and said with a smile.

To be honest, the humans really spared no expense to appease him, coming four times in a half-month, each time bringing numerous spiritual objects.

However, Jiang Che couldn't be bothered to meet them in person and always let Nangong Luo handle it.

After all, she was constantly monitoring human changes and had a communicator on hand, making her the perfect candidate.

A moment later, Nangong Luo returned with a large amount of spirit fruit.

"Why are there so many spiritual objects this time?"

Jiang Che looked at the two sacks of spiritual objects in front of him, somewhat surprised.

It was more than the sum of the previous three times.

"Big brother, the humans want to ask you for a favor, these are the rewards."

Nangong Luo's face was full of smiles as she spoke.

"What favor?"

Jiang Che frowned and looked up at Nangong Luo.

He knew the humans weren't so kind, suddenly gifting him so many spiritual objects.

"Big brother, look, it's this fellow!"

At this moment, Nangong Luo took out a communicator and displayed the video of the Jiao Dragon.

"This is a dragon!"

Jiang Che's pupils contracted, exclaiming.

"No, it's just a Jiao Dragon, it hasn't even grown a dragon horn, how could it be a dragon!"

Seeing Jiang Che's exaggerated expression, Nangong Luo chuckled, full of disdain as she spoke.

Jiang Che then calmed down, frowning, "Humans want me to help them eliminate this Jiao Dragon? That's a good plan!"

"Just some spiritual objects, and they want to order me around?"

Glancing at the spiritual objects on the ground, Jiang Che shook his head speechlessly.

Considering the favor of the spiritual objects, he refrained from troubling the humans further.

These humans had wishful thinking, trying to test him with spiritual objects...

"Tell the humans, I'll accept the spiritual objects, but I won't do it!"

Jiang Che shrugged, speaking nonchalantly.

"Big brother..."

At this time, Nangong Luo hesitated.

"Third Sister, is there something you want to say? You don't need to beat around the bush with big brother!"

Nangong Luo's unusual behavior didn't escape Jiang Che's attention, and he inquired somewhat puzzled.

"Big brother, for my sake, please make a trip!"

Feeling his gaze, Nangong Luo spoke bashfully.

"Hmm? Third Sister, is there something about this matter that I don't know?"

Jiang Che's gaze sharpened, filled with curiosity.

"Big brother, you don't know, but there's a Dragon Island in the East Sea, where a precious Dragon Blood Fruit Tree grows and bears Dragon Blood Fruits.

This fruit not only evolves the dragon race bloodline but also greatly enhances the strength of the consumer, making it extremely suitable for Tier 3 beasts."

Nangong Luo explained to Jiang Che.

In a past life, this Jiao Dragon consumed the Dragon Blood Fruit, its strength grew rapidly, and it transformed into a true dragon.

"Dragon Blood Fruit?"

Jiang Che understood now, no wonder Third Sister hesitated earlier; the East Sea had such a treasure.

"Since this Dragon Blood Fruit can help Third Sister, big brother will go. Such a minor Jiao Dragon is nothing to big brother."

Nodding, Jiang Che expressed confidence with a smile.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Nangong Luo was excited, her face full of gratitude.

She knew the Jiao Dragon couldn't threaten big brother, so she made the request. If it were some unknown fierce beast, she wouldn't let him take the risk.

This time, if she could obtain the Dragon Blood Fruit, her cultivation level would take a big step in Tier 3.
