After Charlie left, Zhang Lisheng was the only one left in the office.

The young man’s expression became sullen. Right now, he could feel that the Island Dragon hidden in the ocean of blood within the factory’s trench was at the verge of his transformation. The situation was irreversible and soon, a raging commotion would explode.

If he had not known that he had already attracted the attention of the US intelligence agencies, he would have commanded the Island Dragon to dive into the big ocean and let the wizard gu toss about.

After all, even though there were many military and commercial satellites in the sky, monitoring was not a matter of relying on signal waves at all. If the satellites spiraling around their orbits in outer space did not happen to be above them, it was impossible for the satellites to capture any image at all. The so-called ‘real-time monitoring’ was just a gimmick and there was no need to worry about it at all.

“However, right now, just a surveillance car or a surveillance ship will be enough to expose my secrets. Who knows what kind of technical means the CIA or the FBI has. This is really f*cked up…” The young man whirled his brain as he walked back and forth in the office.

After thinking hard for twenty to thirty seconds, he felt that he could no longer delay the matter. He first took out his mobile phone and sent a vague message to his mother telling her he had something urgent to attend to so he could not go back tonight. Then, he shut his phone and threw it on the desk along with his car key, before walking downstairs in a hurry.

“Mr. Zhang.” Upon seeing their bosses walking downstairs towards them, the two assistants stood up together.

“Give the best hospitality to the few young people who came to the factory with me today. If they ask you where I am, just say I’ve been picked up by a black car in a hurry.”

“Alright.” The assistants answered without asking for any reason.

Zhang Lisheng nodded his head and walked out of the office.

At the outdoor area of the new LS Slaughterhouse, trucks transporting livestock at a limited speed of fewer than five kilometers per hour passed by constantly. By relying on the trucks to cover himself, the young man sneaked into the corner of the factory closest to the sea in secrecy.

After looking at the surroundings closely and making sure there was no CCTV, his thighs, that were hidden in the loose pants, suddenly revealed thick blue veins as he leaped up more than a meter high, grabbing on the edge of the factory’s enclosing wall before leaping out of it lightly.

Then, the young man continued to rush straight towards the Atlantic Ocean without stopping.

After swimming for a few dozen meters in the sea, Zhang Lisheng’s body began to slowly expand, bursting out of his clothes, turning them into pieces of rags and scraps. Soon, he turned into a giant four meters tall that had a ferocious posture, with his entire body covered in scales.

At the same time, a small snake figure moved around in the young man’s torn clothes and began to expand to become as thick as a bucket, transforming into a green, lively, and spirited wyrmdragon more than ten meters long.

After Zhang Lisheng had completed his transformation, he grabbed on the wyrmdragon’s neck and commanded it to swim into the bottom of the Atlantic Sea. At the same time, he commanded the Island Dragon to turn invisible and pass through the factory’s thick trench, then headed straight to the ocean floor to enter the sea and followed behind the wyrmdragon.

At this time, Zhang Lisheng could feel that the Island Dragon had already begun to lose control of its own, as its body shifted, turning invisible and visible in rapid succession. Like a rubber band being pulled, the three scorpion tails behind its body bounced out and pierced at the bigger fishes in the area nearby before sucking their body fluids.

Time passed by slowly. As the distance from the coastline grew bigger and bigger, the size of the fish the Island Dragon could kill became larger. By the time night fell, large marine animals weighing more than a ton had begun to appear among its victims.

Right now, to Zhang Lisheng, the transformation of this wizard gu was by far the easiest but also the most worrying.

Although he no longer needed to let out blood anymore, the process of the Island Dragon’s transformation had already passed by for several hours, but it still had no sign of change on its body shape. If this continued any longer, he would not know how long it would take for it to end.

Just as Zhang Lisheng was feeling irritated and discouraged, a vrooming sound resonated by his ears faintly.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and it became clearer and clearer. All of a sudden, he saw in the dark and serene sea, thousands of fishes began scurrying away in horror. Among the fishes, a cylindrical US patrolling submarine with an observatory platform on top like a fin, with a huge balanced flank on both sides, was pushing against the ocean currents and was heading over in a slow but accelerated fashion.

This was Zhang Lisheng’s first time having such a close encounter with such a high-end modern weapon.

He did not know that this ship, that was 110 meters long and had a width and a draught that was about 10 meters wide, was none other than the famous Los Angeles-class submarine that was a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine in service with the United States Navy. He knew less about the fact that the submarine had an underwater speed of nearly 70 kilometers per hour with a maximum diving depth of more than 450 meters. Not only that, the high-efficiency integrated sonar on the ship can go up to 100 nautical miles, and it was equipped with four torpedo tubes that can launch the Tomahawk cruise missile, the whaling fork anti-ship missile and the MK48 heavy torpedo in the middle of the hull. Adding on the 12 missile vertical launchers in the first ballast tank of the ship, it could form a comprehensive three-dimensional sea, land, and air combat capability.

Despite not knowing all these, the young man could still feel the baffling power emanating from the steel monster that was covered with a dark black metal luster not far away.

Intuitively, the whole body of the young man shuddered as he could not help but clench his giant fists.

Unfortunately, despite the owner’s cautiousness, it did not mean that the Island Dragon on the verge of being out of control in the midst of its transformation would fear this iron sea monster sneaking under the sea.

At this time, the wizard gu still shifted between invisible and visible from time to time as its tails shot out to kill the giant sea fish beasts in its vicinity. Even though it was not interested in the submarine that resembled a dead living thing, its scorpion tails had brushed across the ship’s outer shell in several of its attacks.

At the same time when the Island Dragon was doing its hunting, the sonar waves from the submarine began to spread out again and again. Very soon, it captured this huge creature that seemed to be hostile nearby.

In the narrow cabin of the submarine, the black officer in charge of monitoring the sonar looked at the screen that had identified the wizard gu which was 1,879 centimeters long and had three tails behind it, each tail shooting out near the speed of a sound, with a maximum range of more than 300 meters, at countless creatures and reefs within a hundred nautical miles. His black face revealed a series of billowing expressions.

Calmly, he reported, “Sir, I’ve found a target that has a body length of… I presume it’s a sea monster that has sneaked out of Shrimp World No. 2”

“Did you hear Alvin’s report, Elion? Be prepared to launch the torpedo,” the captain ordered casually. “We’ll give the fishes in New York’s inland sea a feast of supernatural realm’s sea monster meat.”

“Yes, sir!” The firepower officer in charge of launching weapons on the submarine raised two fingers to salute the captain before selecting the torpedoes on the center console of the weapon.

After he had locked on the target according to the sonar monitor, when he was just about to shoot, he realized that the target disappeared on the screen without a trace. “Sir, the target suddenly disappeared!”

The firepower officer and the black man in charge of the sonar monitoring frowned right away and reported at the same time. However, the instant their words left their mouth, the Island Dragon’s figure appeared once again on the sonar image, however, its position had already changed slightly.

“Sir, the target appeared once again! I presume it has the ability to move instantly.” The black man’s expression changed as he reported.

“Instant movement this time? Last time it was the ability to turn into a fireball in the sea and before that, it was the ability to freeze the sea. Did all these sea creatures from the supernatural realm grow up eating Viagra?! Elion, estimate its moving trajectory and make a running torpedo fire! If we can’t kill it, we must drive it back to its own world at the very least!”

“Yes, sir!” The firepower officer of the submarine operated the computer with a gloomy expression as he proceeded to jot down and observe the wizard gu for several minutes. All of a sudden, he launched three heavy torpedoes from three different launching tubes in succession.

At this time, Zhang Lisheng was in the ocean worrying as he followed the submarine going after the transforming Island Dragon.

In the absence of any danger, of course, the meticulous Zhang Lisheng would never consider using his transformed brute body to fight with the submarine in the deep sea.

However, he had wanted to command the Island Dragon to expand and destroy the ship that was hundreds of meters away on several occasions, but he was worried about the consequences when the wizard gu fought with the submarine, it was still unpredictable who would win in the end. If both sides were annihilated in the end, the loss would far outweigh the gains.

As the young man couldn’t make up his mind, he realized that the submarine had fired several huge fusiform torpedoes propelled by the tail wings behind it towards his wizard gu.

With a shocked expression, he commanded the Island Dragon to dodge the torpedoes. However, at this moment, the wizard gu was no longer under his control. It continued to hunt for big fishes in the deep sea.

Zhang Lisheng felt chills running down his spine as he watched the torpedoes rush towards the Island Dragon.

The first two torpedoes were dodged by the wizard gu’s rapid movement by luck but under the computer’s constant revision, the third torpedo crashed into the wizard gu.

A dull boom resonated from the torpedo under the impact. Then, a dazzling fire burst out in the explosion and began to spread out, boiling the tens of thousands of tons of seawater into boiling water. The fluctuations produced caused the reefs on the seabeds formed through hundreds of millions of years to be blown apart.

At that instant when the torpedo hit the Island Dragon, Zhang Lisheng felt the wizard gu’s vitality dropping to its dimmest extreme. He opened his mouth wide and squirted dark blood in the sea to form a chain, as he began to nourish the Island Dragon.

The owner and the wizard gu were only separated by hundreds of meters away. The long line of the young man’s blood essence entered the Island Dragon’s already mutilated body, supporting it to be on auto-pilot to continue to use its scorpion tails behind to hunt for the large creatures in the sea.

Under the nourishment from Zhang Lisheng’s blood and the sea creatures’ body fluids, the wizard gu’s badly mutilated body began to heal. The young man noticed there was an additional scorpion tail behind the Island Dragon.

As his mind snapped around, Zhang Lisheng understood the Island Dragon had started its transformation thanks to the stimulation of being injured after going against a strong opponent while it was in the midst of hunting. Secretly, he cursed in his heart.

The conditions for the wizard gu’s transformation were getting difficult one after another. It was still a mystery whether the Island Dragon would succeed in transforming under the pursuance of the submarine this time.

While he was thinking, the two torpedoes that had already brushed past the wizard gu just now made an abrupt turn, before charging towards it once again. At that moment when the Island Dragon seemed to about to flash and move, they exploded at the same time and although they did not hit the Island Dragon, they still surrounded it in a violent burst of sea current.
