In the center of the arena stood a colossal beast, ten meters tall, while a group of people lay sprawled around it, each one incapacitated.
"This..." Yu Tu stared in shock at the colossal beast. Was this the adorable little dumpling? How could it be so terrifying!
"Brothers, we are the Tyrant Blade Squad from Haicheng! This beast has gone mad! Help us quickly, or we'll all die a horrible death!" Tyrant Blade's captain, Ba Kang, was completely panicked. He had previously thought that this mere beast could be easily destroyed with a flick of its wrist, but the result was the opposite.
"Oh, help you?" Jiang Yuan slowly walked over, his aura swirling around him like a god descending to earth.
Ba Kang's expression hardened. He saw the rabbit beside Jiang Yuan and immediately sensed that something was wrong. But since it was a matter of life and death, he would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
"Brother, although this beast is only at the ninth rank, its strength is unparalleled. Only by working together can we kill it!" Ba Kang pleaded, lowering his stance. He still didn't know that the beast that had suddenly appeared was the battle pet of the person in front of him.
"You're dreaming! My little dumpling can't even be hit, and you want to kill it!" Yu Tu flicked his hand, and a silver thread pierced straight into Ba Kang's palm.
"Eeya ya!" The primordial behemoth scooped up its thick arm and raised its thumb.
"Your family's..." Ba Kang completely ignored the pierced palm; at this moment, he was completely immersed in Yu Tu's words.
She said that the terrifying prehistoric beast was actually her little dumpling! Hers!
Fear filled Ba Kang's eyes, but even in this state of terror, he roared, "Brothers, kill those two! Only by killing them can we live!"
Upon hearing this, the other five men were immediately filled with fighting spirit. Despite being seriously injured, they still gripped their weapons and launched their strongest attack on Jiang Yuan.
What the Overlord Blade Squad didn't know was that their most respected leader, who had initially shouted "fight to the death," turned tail and ran away without even looking back.
"How foolish!" Jiang Yuan said indifferently.
The protective dragon widened its eyes, and just as the five approached, it unleashed a breath of dragon fire. The blazing flames erupted as if they were free, and in the blink of an eye, the five were reduced to nothing, their skin and bones vanished.
"Eh!" Yu Tu was initially reluctant to watch, but seeing Jiang Yuan's expressionless face, she forced herself to continue.
"Little dumpling, bring that person back! Remember, don't kill him!"
Jiang Yuan calmly gave the order. The dragon's breath had stopped. The five people who charged forward never expected that they, as eighth and ninth level cultivators, would be killed instantly, and in such a way.
"Whoosh!" The little dumpling ran off on all fours, chasing after Ba Kang as he fled.
"I'm not scared anymore. Everyone said I'd handle it!" Jiang Yuan shrugged nonchalantly, as if killing a few people was nothing more than crushing a few ants in his eyes.
Yu Tu gritted her teeth inwardly. She knew that admitting to being scared at this moment would only invite ridicule, so she said disdainfully, "Your grilling skills are terrible; you've burned the person!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"It didn't work this time, maybe be more careful next time!" Yu Tu said casually.
Jiang Yuan's lips twitched inwardly. What kind of oddball was this? He could make such a heavy topic sound so funny.
Corpse: Do you think you're funny?
"Hurrah!"
Just then, the little dumpling roared and kicked something back. Jiang Yuan looked closely and saw that it was Ba Kang, who had just escaped.
"Pfft!" Ba Kang spat out a mouthful of blood, looking extremely miserable.
His strength is only 580 points, and it's a single element; how could he withstand such torment from the little dumpling?
However, Ba Kang ignored the fact that he was spitting blood and hurriedly crawled towards Jiang Yuan.
"If you miss, come any closer!" Jiang Yuan glanced at the Nine Provinces' fortune, his eyes filled with only cold indifference.
Ba Kang trembled, and he kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "I was blind and disrespectful to you two. I beg you to have mercy and spare my life!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you! I just want to ask you a few questions!" Jiang Yuan glanced at Ba Kang, then looked into the distance. He had already sensed a huge crisis approaching, so he needed to figure out the source of this crisis.
"Just a few questions?" Ba Kang's body went limp; anyone would feel much more relaxed upon suddenly seeing a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Who are you? Why are you here!" Jiang Yuan refocused his gaze on Ba Kang. He was certain that this was a modern Earthling.
This distinction is easy to make. Your clothes can change, your appearance can change, and even your race can change, but the era you live in will leave an indelible mark. This characteristic cannot be changed.
"My name is Wang Kang, I come from Haicheng. I'm here because I took on an S-rank mercenary mission in Haicheng!" Ba Kang was terrified and was now telling him everything he knew. He just hoped he could survive.
"From Haicheng?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked Yu Tu, "Why would someone from Haicheng be here? Has news of your Northern City Alliance entering the Tomb of the Warlord leaked out?"
“How could that be? Only the higher-ups of the Northern City Alliance know about the ancient ruins, and only the Sniff Dogs can enter this place!” Yu Tu refuted Jiang Yuan’s doubts with a single sentence.
"Sir, the method to enter this place was included when we accepted that S-rank mission!" Ba Kang said, forcing himself to speak.
"What mission did you take on?" Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. The fact that this group of people were here meant the outcome was obvious.
"Yes, yes, I have a portrait of the mission target!" Afraid that he might have said something wrong, Ba Kang immediately took out the scroll, opened it, and pointed to the person on it, saying, "This is the person. Someone has offered a reward of one million ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones for his head!"
