After all, people disappear there every year.

"Everyone get ready." Chen Changqing cocked a shotgun with a click, stepped forward, walked to the front of the group, and headed in that direction.

Ye Xingchen glanced at him, wanting to offer a reminder, but then thought better of it; even if she reminded him, the other person might not appreciate it.

Honestly, Chen Changqing is excellent enough, and his strength is considerable, but his biggest mistake was hunting the Candle Dragon as an ordinary wild beast, which was the most fatal flaw.

That's the Candle Dragon, a creature capable of soaring through the wind and transforming into a dragon. Even if it doesn't rank among the top three ferocious beasts, it is still a ferocious being born from heaven and earth.

These things are not something ordinary people can handle. Even if you have firearms, what can you do?

The C4 bomb is powerful enough, but it's not strong enough against the Candle Dragon. At most, it can only make the Candle Dragon feel threatened, and it probably won't do much damage.

However, this guy was unusually confident. He took the lead, walked through the woods more than a thousand meters away, and then heard the sound of rushing water.

This is a waterfall, not very large, with water cascading down a cliff hundreds of meters high, forming a very deep pool below.

This pool is incredibly deep; at first glance, the dark water evokes a profound sense of dread.

It seemed as if some enormous creature was lurking beneath the dark pool, and this creature seemed poised to burst forth from the water at any moment and devour people.

Chen Changqing led his men to the edge of the pool. By this time, Lao Zhou had already moved to the very back of the group, still quite afraid of this place.

If he hadn't promised someone beforehand, he wouldn't have stepped into this place even if they killed him.

"Brother Zhou, is this the place?" Ye Xingchen asked.

“Yes, Mr. Ye, this is the Zhulong Pool we’re looking for. There’s a cave behind the waterfall, and what you’re looking for is inside.” Old Zhou mustered his courage and stepped forward to say.

"Okay, thanks." Ye Xingchen nodded.

The waterfall is very fast-flowing, and the cave is more than 30 meters above the water, so it would be quite difficult for an ordinary person to climb up.

But this was nothing to Ye Xingchen. It was just that the big guy in the pool hadn't been dealt with yet, so Ye Xingchen didn't dare to rashly take the Moon Root Grass.

Chen Changqing, accompanied by several bodyguards, cautiously approached the pool. Looking at the deep water, he gestured for his team to remain in place.

Then he looked at Liu Shanhe: "Master Liu, are you sure this is the place?"

"It really is here. The magnetic field here is extremely strong, which means there is something in the pool, and that thing in the pool is also very powerful." Liu Shanhe's expression turned serious as he watched the pointer on the magnetic field tremble even more violently.

"How do we lure it up?" Chen Changqing pondered for a moment.

“Of course, we need to prepare bait.” Liu Shanhe pondered for a moment: “According to legendary records, the Zhulong was born in a secluded pool, was a hundred feet long, moved swiftly, could ride the wind, and could transform into a dragon.”

"And it likes to eat raw flesh and blood. We prepare food in advance, throw it by the pool, and wait for it to come out."

The team must have been fully prepared when they arrived here.

The two bodyguards were carrying a bag containing half a carcass of pork. They opened the bag and, as instructed by Liu Shanhe, placed the pork on the edge of the pool.

Then Chen Changqing and his teammates hid nearby, quietly watching the movements in the pool.

However, more than half an hour passed in a flash, and the pool remained quiet and still, as if the monster had never existed in the pool at all.

"Master Liu, what... what's going on? Why is there no reaction at all?" Xie Ya was getting anxious, and she couldn't help but turn around to look at Liu Shanhe.

"This... Miss Xie, please don't worry, let me think about it carefully." Liu Shanhe frowned and pondered hard, but couldn't figure out the reason after a long time.

"This thing likes to eat hot blood. This half pig you brought over has probably been frozen for almost half a year. No wonder it doesn't like it," Ye Xingchen said, somewhat speechlessly.

"Yes, that's the reason." Liu Shanhe slapped his thigh and said hurriedly, "Miss Xie, that's the reason. That thing likes to eat bloody food, and this pig is frozen, so it can't attract it at all."

"What should we do then? Are we supposed to go back and slaughter a pig now?" Xie Ya stared blankly at the pool, which was completely unresponsive.

"No need," Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "With so many of us trespassing into its territory, it will definitely show itself. Right now, it's probing our strength. Tell your people to be careful; it might erupt at any moment."

Xie Ya nodded. She now trusted Ye Xingchen unconditionally. She instructed Chen Changqing and the others to be careful and not to let their guard down.

Chen Changqing is a highly experienced veteran of the battlefield, and he survived alone in the Amazon rainforest for more than a week with just a dagger. He has enough patience for his prey.

He instructed his subordinates to remain vigilant at all times, then stared intently at the pool in front of him.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and just as everyone's spirits were starting to wane, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the pool.

"We're here, everyone be careful." Chen Changqing perked up, gripped his gun tightly, and stared intently at the surface of the pool.

After a huge whirlpool, followed by a loud boom, a colossal creature emerged from the water, and a massive wave surged out of the not-so-large pool, making the surrounding area, hundreds of feet in diameter, seem as if a torrential rain had fallen.

This enormous creature was the Zhulong. Just as in the legends, it was a hundred feet long and had an incredibly thick body.

Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales that gleamed with a terrifying light, and its two eyes were the size of fists, gleaming with a green light.

It has four limbs, each with four claws, and two incredibly thick horns on its head. Just by looking at its size, you can tell this guy is not someone to mess with.

Everyone gasped in shock. Chen Changqing suddenly realized that Ye Xingchen was right. Judging from the size of the guy in front of him, even if the weapons he brought were very powerful, they might not be able to break through its defenses.

The creature floated in mid-air, circled once, and then approached the half-pig.

It sniffed the pig twice, then raised its head, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the half-portion of food that had appeared out of nowhere.
