NOVPUBAs Wu Bin’s mind rang with the system prompt, the once mightily powerful barbaric dragon suddenly collapsed to the ground as if drained of all strength, and it took a long time to get up.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked, not understanding what Wu Bin had done to the barbaric dragon.
But after all, Hu Feng and his team were well-trained soldiers.
Even though they didn’t know why the barbaric dragon suddenly fell, Hu Feng still gave the order without hesitation.
"Heat glue bullets, fire!"
Dozens of advance team members carrying rocket launchers aimed at the barbaric dragon now sprawled on the ground.
These rockets struck the barbaric dragon one after another, and bursts of red gel exploded out, instantly covering the dragon’s head.
The red gel, like jelly, firmly stuck the barbaric dragon to the ground.
The barbaric dragon’s nose and mouth were blocked, and it instantly struggled to breathe normally.
Before fully regaining their strength, members of the Dragon Clan, like other creatures, needed oxygen and water.
Now with its entire head wrapped in the gel, if the barbaric dragon couldn’t break free quickly, it would suffocate to death.
The barbaric dragon tried to lift its head.
But it quickly discovered in horror that the gel had glued its head and the entire ground together firmly!
These things on the surface should have been loose soil or similar substances.
Yet the gel was able to solidify all of it together, like quick-drying cement, turning the loose soil into a solid and heavy mass in an instant!
A strong sense of suffocation made the barbaric dragon panic and thrash wildly.
While its head couldn’t move, its body could.
The barbaric dragon’s body began to lurch desperately, trying to harm Hu Feng and his team in this way.
However, Hu Feng and his team had already anticipated this when they fired the heat glue bullets and maintained a safe distance from the dragon.
Three minutes later, the barbaric dragon was gasping for breath, unable even to open its eyes, and lay on the ground motionless.
"Is it dead?" Wu Bin asked.
Nightingale shook her head and said, "Dragons are very resilient creatures; a few minutes without oxygen won’t kill it, not to mention it wouldn’t necessarily die even after a month without oxygen."
"Right now, it has probably entered a state of hibernation. We need to take this opportunity to capture it and bring it back to The Ninth Research Institute for study."
The Dragon Clan is quite similar to snakes.
Snakes also need oxygen to live but can enter a hibernation-like state when oxygen is scarce.
People in coastal areas like to soak poisonous snakes in liquor.
There was a case where someone soaked a live venomous snake in liquor for a full two years.
When he opened the liquor jar, the snake inside was still alive and bit him, sending the poor man to his death.
Nightingale and her team were professionals and naturally knew that the barbaric dragon would not be so easily suffocated to death.
Under Hu Feng’s command, several advance team members took out specially made syringes and injected anesthetic into the barbaric dragon’s body.
The barbaric dragon moved slightly, scaring everyone quite a bit.
Fortunately, the barbaric dragon seemed to realize that the syringes wouldn’t pose a lethal threat, so it didn’t wake from its slumber.
"Doctor, do these anesthetics work on dragons too?"
Wu Bin found it all too fantastical.
Using anesthetics on a dragon seemed completely outrageous.
Jin Nanhua shook his head and said, "Whether the anesthetic works on dragons or not, we aren’t sure at the moment."
"But even if it has no effect, at least it won’t stimulate it to wake up."
"This time we have successfully captured it, which is the biggest gain—it’s a living dragon!"
Jin Nanhua was very excited.
For a scientist like him, a living dragon was of great scientific value; they could study and discover many things from it.
The only pity was that the Barbaric Dragon was not very big, measuring nine meters in length and estimated to weigh several dozen tons.
Just as Hu Feng was about to call someone over to bring a vehicle to transport the Barbaric Dragon,
suddenly, gunfire erupted from the side,
and three team members, caught off guard, were shot and turned into sieves, killed instantly on the spot!
"Enemy attack! Everyone cover the doctor’s retreat!"
The sudden assault left everyone dumbfounded.
If they had been ambushed by the Dragon Slave, they would have understood,
as one of the reasons for the existence of Dragon Slaves was to protect the Dragon Lord.
But this time, they were clearly ambushed by another group of armed assailants!
What shocked them even more was that this group of armed attackers were not only well-equipped but also highly trained in combat, no weaker than The Ninth Research Institute!
Capitalizing on the advantage of a surprise attack, these people swiftly occupied the advantageous terrain, establishing a fire suppression point.
Hu Feng and his team were pinned down and couldn’t lift their heads, forced to hide behind distant rocks, watching helplessly as a small enemy squad headed straight for the Barbaric Dragon!
"Damn it, these people must be from America’s Area 9! I’m all too familiar with their mode of operation; the equipment and tactics are identical!"
There were many peculiar creatures and ruins in this world, and these had become new resources over which today’s powers struggled against each other.
Because professional research teams could gain more mysterious powers and master more rules beyond science by studying these creatures and ruins.
"We absolutely can’t let the people from Area 9 take the Barbaric Dragon away. Hu Feng, call for support!"
Seeing the people from Area 9 nearing the Barbaric Dragon, Jin Nanhua was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Yet Nightingale furrowed her brows and said, "No, Doctor, something’s not right. We’ve sealed off this island; how did they get here?"
The military strength of Dragon Country was no joke, especially the navy, which, after years of development, had matured in technology.
In theory, if the Americans dispatched transport planes or ships, they wouldn’t have been able to approach the island without being detected.
After much thought, Nightingale could only think of one possibility.
They arrived by submarine!
Nightingale shared her analysis.
"If they came by submarine, then they can’t possibly take the Barbaric Dragon with them—they don’t have the equipment for large-scale transportation."
"Let’s not rush; we wait for support and see what they are up to," she said.
Everyone around felt that Nightingale had a point, and after thinking it over, even Jin Nanhua calmed down.
As long as the enemy didn’t take the Barbaric Dragon away, everything was still negotiable.
There was no need to rush out and needlessly sacrifice the lives of The Ninth Institute’s team members.
However, just as everyone was thinking this, a person wearing a white lab coat appeared among the opposing team.
Everyone was stunned.
Because that person looked exactly like Wu Bin!
