The creature had sucked the burning oil from the lake's surface into its belly.
As the flames dwindled, George shouted, "Quick! Throw the torches! Throw the torches!"
David sighed heavily. "Ugh."
In that moment, he desperately missed his Gatling gun.
Just as the group was about to relight their torches, the beast sprayed the burning oil back out.
"My God, it's a fire-breathing dragon!"
The guards didn't dare stay put, fleeing hundreds of meters before stopping.
When they looked back, the beach where they'd stood was now a sea of flames.
"Moo!"
"Moo!!"
The High-Spined Mosasaur roared to the sky in a fury.
"We have to lure this thing onto land," Andrei suggested.
Just then, a faint "whoosh" sound carried on the wind.
"What's that noise?"
George and Meichuan Ku strained to listen. It sounded... familiar?
They exchanged a desperate glance, seeing the same despair in each other's eyes.
Egg Egg nearly shrank back into its hole from fear.
It was *that* sound!
The terrifying sound of the iron man flying through the air!
Meichuan Ku's face turned pale with despair. "He's here! He's really here!"
"Ah!! Great God Qin Feng has finally made his move!"
"Kill them first! Don't let them escape! That bastard George is the worst—even while claiming kingship and dominance, he still bullies smaller nations in the National War Arena!"
"God Qin, don't rush! Secure the resources first! How are we going to find that beast after it dives into the oil later?"
"Right, right! Killing those guys won't yield any oil, and we can't wipe them out anyway. Killing them would just be a waste of time."
"Baka! Damn Chinese pigs! Is your Qin Feng really that arrogant? There are eight Guardians here working together!"
"Mr. George, kill Qin Feng quickly and avenge our Jeonghwan Oppa!"
Dragon Country netizens: "...You sissy boys are the ones sliding into the enemy's DMs to feed them, aren't you? Great God Qin Feng hasn't even seen him. Besides, you should be glad you haven't met God Qin Feng, you sissy boys."
Qin Feng slowly rose into the air, his gaze sweeping across the hundreds of meters separating them as he looked over with a provocative glance.
As the High-Spined Mosasaur swallowed the flames, an ingenious plan struck him.
Though risky, it was bound to succeed!
"Guardians of Eagle Country and Cherry Blossom Country, wait until I've dealt with this monster—then I'll come for you!"
George and the other two flinched.
It was as if they'd heard the Grim Reaper's call.
Their instinctive reaction upon seeing Qin Feng was to flee.
George took a deep breath, steadying himself.
*With so many allies here, what's there to fear?*
*Besides, even the Bear Country trio are teaming up with us now!*
*Ah, right! The Bear Country also wants that blue treasure chest!*
With this thought, George smirked, his fear vanishing. He was about to stir up trouble when, as expected, Andrei asked:
"Hey, who are you?"
He'd never seen a Dragon Country guardian before, nor an Iron Man.
*Iron Man...?*
Andrei suddenly remembered: in the guardian chatroom, they'd mentioned a flying Iron Man—Dragon Country's Qin Feng!
*Hiss...*
Andrei secretly drew a sharp breath, suddenly feeling a pang of fear.
This guy! He was the best performer in both assaults!
And he'd killed the guardians of Eagle Country and Cherry Blossom Country multiple times!
Though he might be a coward at heart, he remained outwardly bold and fearless.
The representatives from Rotten Country and Kangaroo Country also felt a prickle of unease.
They knew that while they had no personal grievances with Qin Feng in the National War Arena, and had even had the good fortune to do business with him twice, their countries had often harassed Dragon Country on Blue Star.
Especially following in the footsteps of Eagle Country, they'd thrown up countless obstacles.
Qin Feng sneered. "Me? I'm Qin Feng of Dragon Country!"
At these words, the unfamiliar faces wore the expected, exasperated expressions.
*This treasure chest... I probably won't get much out of it today...*
But Qin Feng continued, "I only want the lives of those Eagle Country and Cherry Blossom Country individuals. If you insist on interfering, I won't mind casually killing you all as well!"
Casually... casually...
A chill ran down everyone's spines, their throats tightening as they choked on their words.
*Dominating!*
*So damn dominating!*
*This is utterly arrogant!*
"Just casually..." Li Tai of Dragon Country's National Warfare Department muttered, shaking his head helplessly.
He now realized he'd been wishfully thinking. He'd expected Qin Feng to consider the diplomatic difficulties for Dragon Country, but the young man was acting entirely on his own whim.
The sight of the Guardians being intimidated by Qin Feng's aura was broadcast live to their respective national streams.
Suddenly, nearly half the planet fell silent, staring at their screens, forgetting to type in the chat.
This was a rare moment of low traffic on the National War Arena's network.
- Whoa, God Qin is oozing charisma!
- Haha, Rotten Country citizens, wake up! Stop following Eagle Country's tail—they'll sell you out sooner or later!
- Don't let Kangaroo Country escape! Crush them! The blood of Exiles is inherently vile.
- Ah!! My husband is so handsome! This is what a national idol should be like. Those Kimchi Kingdom *oppas* are just disgusting—the kind of *oppa* that makes you want to vomit.
"Damn it, that arrogant Chinese pig! Let's see how he dies!"
"Exactly! The monster that even our beloved Jeonghwan Oppa couldn't defeat—how could this ugly tin can possibly kill it?"
On the screen, Andrei and two other men from Bear Country seethed with fury.
Their jaws were clenched so tightly that their knuckles turned white.
They had never endured such humiliation before.
Yet, despite their burning rage, they could do nothing.
Qin Feng's combat prowess was simply unfathomable.
Watching this scene unfold, Li Tai sighed softly.
"Quick, contact Bear Country and give them a heads-up."
After a moment's thought, Li Tai picked up the phone himself.
Bear Country had signed the Covenant of Divine Mandate. Whether they would uphold it was uncertain, but it was still something he could leverage.
"Inform General Zhang to raise the alert level."
Before dialing, Li Tai instructed his subordinate.
The General Zhang in question was the top military leader responsible for defending Dragon Country's northern borders.
"Yes, Section Chief Li!"
***
In the National War Arena, Qin Feng soared toward the High-Spined Mosasaur.
He drew his Tang Dao and channeled a bit of his qi into it.
Instantly, the blade shimmered with a faint blue light.
The other defenders' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"What kind of weapon is that in his hand?!"
"A Tang Dao! It's a Tang Dao!"
"Damn it, why is his Tang Dao glowing?"
Meichuan Ku glanced at the weapon in his own hand. It looked identical.
Defenders from the Rotten Country and Kangaroo Country hurriedly drew their own Tang Daos.
All their blades had been purchased from Qin Feng.
They looked the same, yet felt different.
"What's going on? Did he sell us fakes?"
"That must be it! Otherwise, why would he have sold them to us so cheaply?" the Kangaroo Country defender grumbled bitterly.
"Damn Dragon Country bastards! Using the real deal themselves while selling us counterfeits. Look at ours—just a hunk of iron! His glows; it must be way more powerful!"
"No wonder Qin Feng was so outstanding in the first two assaults..."
The group whispered among themselves, quickly reaching a "reasonable" conclusion.
