Of course, these people can leave if they want, or stay here at any time if they don't want to. Lu Yuan doesn't intend to force them. What Lu Yuan wants to do is make this place his hometown.
They hope that after finding a place to stay on the mainland as their new home, they can try to connect the two houses, without abandoning either one, so that life on both sides can be more comfortable.
Lu Yuan and his team were about to leave by boat when they suddenly heard a knocking sound from outside. They took a look at the door.
It was already past 1 a.m., and by then almost everyone in the camp was asleep.
"Please come in!"
Lu Yuan rubbed his throbbing head and said towards the door.
Shi Quan pushed open the door and left. When he came in and saw Lu Yuan, his expression showed nervousness as he quickly walked in.
"Lu Yuan is in some trouble, you should come with us quickly!"
Upon hearing the other party say that something had happened, Lu Yuan felt a sense of foreboding.
"What happened? What serious incident occurred?"
"We were patrolling the beach when we suddenly saw a baby dragon emerge from the water. Then we heard a fight going on underwater. We don’t know what happened, but the seawater nearby was churning violently."
Then the dragon burst out of the water and lay on the shore, wounded in many places, looking as if it had been beaten by some monster, in a very pitiful state.
Lu Yuan was stunned after hearing this.
"Are you kidding me? Dragons are the most powerful creatures in the entire aquatic world. What other creature could beat him up like that?"
Shi Quan could only shrug helplessly.
"I didn't believe it at first either, but the people under my command insisted on coming with me. So I went out to see for myself. If I couldn't make it, I refused. I was lying on the beach, covered in wounds. A piece of his dragon horn had also been knocked off. He looked extremely disheveled!"
Lu Yuan immediately stood up and said to Quan, "Quickly, bring everyone along, let's go and discuss it together. We absolutely mustn't let anything go wrong. By the way, how is the pomelo farmer?"
"The young dragon is in good condition and doesn't seem injured, but he looks rather flustered, as if something terrible has happened. It seems that something big has occurred, and the giant dragon has taken on the burden alone to protect him!"
The two talked about what lay ahead as they walked.
On the beach, a number of people were already examining the dragon's body, which was covered in blood.
Lu Yuan could smell a very strong stench of blood from a great distance.
Dragon blood is already very precious, and given their enormous size, even a small wound can cause large swathes of blood to flow out.
You could smell it from a great distance; the air was filled with the stench of blood, indicating that the other person was seriously injured.
Before Lu Yuan even got close, he saw a young dragon covered in blue skin running towards him. It was initially flustered, wriggling its massive body like a duck. When it reached him, it suddenly jumped into Lu Yuan's arms, like a child he hadn't seen for many years.
Young Dragon had never experienced anything like this before. Lu Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable and quickly hugged Young Dragon in his arms, gently comforting him for a while.
He brought the baby dragon to the giant dragon, only to find that the giant dragon was on the verge of death.
There were several large gashes on his body, from which blood was constantly gushing out.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan frowned. It was one of the personnel responsible for inspection who took something from the culture medium.
"Mr. Lu just examined it and extracted some toxic substances from some areas of the dragon's wounds. It seems that the teeth of the creature that attacked it were contaminated with highly toxic substances!"
Lu Yuan then quickly asked.
"Is there any possibility that his life is in danger?"
"We are currently testing his various physical indicators, and the results should be available soon!"
"Okay, let me know as soon as the test results are available!"
Then, Lu Yuan carried the baby dragon around the area a few more times and discovered that the dragon had over a hundred wounds on its body, clearly indicating that it had engaged in fierce battles with other giant beasts.
A moment later, the doctor returned, but this time his face was no longer relaxed; it was filled with panic.
"This is bad! The dragon's vital signs are rapidly declining, and it seems like things are not going well! We just found at least five different biological remains in hundreds of affected areas within its body!"
"What do you mean, at least five things that look like a group fight?"
"That's right, they should have ganged up on him!"
A thought suddenly popped into Lu Yuan's mind.
"Could it be that the other monsters wouldn't allow him to live here, so he came to live in this water all by himself?"
At that moment, many images flashed through Lu Yuan's mind. For example, this dragon was driven out of Dragon Canyon and ran here because it didn't get along with other creatures. After all, this place didn't belong to Dragon Canyon, but to a bay next to it.
Although it is safe here, resources are extremely scarce. It is clear that this dragon usually lives in the jungle outside the water, but now it is relegated to the water, hiding under that giant sword, like a frightened child.
