One person: Twelve talismans, starting by beating up the old Celestial Master.

Regardless of ordinary people, even these extraordinary beings didn't experience any adverse reactions when they came into contact with lighter-colored dragons such as yellow, white, and golden dragons.

But when they come into contact with dragons like the Azure Dragon and the Black Dragon...

Even though they are superhumans who are many times stronger than ordinary people, they can still fall seriously ill and suffer from fevers for months.

Previously, Mr. Cao, who had visited Longhu Mountain, and Mr. Wang Zizhong, a master swordsman, jointly published a research report specifically on the species of dragon.

The report states that the darker the color of a creature like a dragon, the stronger its fishy smell.

This so-called fishy smell, in biological terms, indicates that the molecules within this dark-colored dragon have higher activity.

This molecular activity is nothing to dragons, but such highly active molecules have a strong exclusionary effect on humans.

The initial symptoms are dizziness and nausea, accompanied by fever. In severe cases of rejection reaction, death may ultimately result.

If even extraordinary individuals can resist this, how can ordinary people possibly withstand it?

As for the second point, places where dragons appear are often rich in spiritual energy.

Regarding this point, the company is more afraid of the first point than the official one.

Because if an ordinary person stays in such a place full of spiritual energy for a long time, they may be nourished by a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and thus become an extraordinary person!

This is something that neither the company nor the authorities want to see.

Because throughout the thousands of years of history in the Dragon Kingdom, extraordinary individuals have played a vital role in the changes of each dynasty.

Xiang Yu, the powerful and imposing Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu with double pupils; Zhuge Liang, who devoted his life to assisting Liu Bei in restoring the Han Dynasty but missed his chance to ascend to immortality due to fate's cruel twists; the black-clad prime minister who helped Zhu Di ascend the throne; Yao Guangxiao, the leader of the Quanxing sect—these are all extraordinary individuals.

The authorities did not want such an uncontrollable situation to recur in modern society, and companies were thus created to address this need.

On the one hand, they have to manage the superhumans within the country, and on the other hand, they have to control their numbers, keeping the growth rate of superhumans within a population red line.

If the population red line gets out of control, leading to an overabundance of non-humans, it will be detrimental to social stability.

The Dragon Slayer Team was secretly trained by the company under this environment. Their mission was to eradicate all wild dragon veins, large and small, that were not under official control within the Dragon Kingdom.

On one hand, they wanted to slay the dragon; on the other hand, they wanted to destroy the dragon vein of Ailao Mountain.

Because they discovered that the number of newborns with unusual characteristics among those born in the mountain villages near the Ailao Mountains was increasing.

Following this, the company dispatched several more dragon-slaying teams to the Ailao Mountains.

After paying the price of dozens of lives, they finally slew the young black dragon deep in the Ailao Mountains.

Furthermore, the innate Qi meridian was sealed off with five Dragon-Suppressing Nails and five Dragon-Binding Locks, and the young black dragon that had been slain was thrown directly to the bottom of the lake.

However, all of these matters were suppressed by the authorities and the company, and only a few people within the Extraordinary Ones organization knew about them.

Zhang Lingfeng knew this because his master, Zhang Zhiwei, was one of the Ten Elders.

A few years ago, even if Zhang Lingfeng wanted to go, he wouldn't have had the guts.

He had personally witnessed his senior brother grow thinner and thinner in his final years, eventually becoming emaciated.

But things are different now; he possesses the Horse Talisman, which grants him immunity to all poisons, and the Dog Talisman, which grants him immortality.

While dragons, these ancient creatures, were certainly terrifying, he had also witnessed the battle between his master and the black dragon.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, his Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic were certainly inferior to his master's, but he possessed the Ox Talisman of immense strength.

Break all laws with one force!

Even assuming, hypothetically, that this dragon-walking creature, specially marked by the system as being tainted with dragon energy, truly possesses something special, it still has the power of the Rat Talisman.

When pushed to the limit, he manually summoned his good disciple, Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of Taoism, who appeared to slay the dragon.

No matter how arrogant you are, can you be a match for Zhang Daoling, who has long since ascended to immortality?

With that in mind, he and Lu Linglong chatted while he used the golden light to transform into a blade instead of a carving knife, slowly carving the entire wooden sculpture of Zhang Daoling.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

This wooden carving of Zhang Daoling was his last trump card.

Zhang Lingfeng was determined to get this dragon talisman!

...............

At this moment, deep within the Ailao Mountains, at the bottom of Wulong Lake, a gigantic dragon, hundreds of meters long, slowly opened its eyes.

Within the left pupil of its enormous, lantern-like eyes, the mark of the dragon rune flashed by.

The dragon twisted its massive head, looking down at a skeleton at the bottom of the lake—the remains of the young black dragon slain by the dragon-slaying team years ago.

This walking dragon was actually a creature conceived within the belly of that black dragon from back then.

Dragons are creatures by nature like this. Although this black dragon was still young at the time, it had already mated with a giant snake in the mountains.

Although Mo Long died, the unborn child in her womb escaped death.

Furthermore, the Dragon-Slaying Team had been in such a rush when setting up this Dragon-Trapping Formation that the unborn child in the Black Dragon's womb was constantly being nurtured by a trace of dragon energy.

At this moment, the dragon opened its blood-red maw and frantically absorbed the remaining dragon energy from the black dragon's corpse, causing the Five Dragon Lake to suddenly become filled with a foul stench.

The fishy stench permeated the air through the lake, instantly forming a poisonous miasma covering several miles around the lake.

The poisonous insects and reptiles in the Ailao Mountains greedily inhale the toxic miasma in the air, which is a natural tonic for them.

But the mammals, such as apes, brown bears, and forest birds, fled in terror, trying to escape the surging miasma.

Those who were even slightly slower collapsed and convulsed after being exposed to the poisonous miasma, and soon died from the poison.

At the same time, the dragon-like creature that had absorbed the dragon energy of the Ink Dragon was gradually changing its appearance in the direction of a dragon.

As a roar resembling a tiger's and a bull's combined echoed, the terrifying poisonous miasma that had been permeating the air began to shrink rapidly and eventually disappeared.

Chapter 100: Staying in a village near the Ailao Mountains, an acquaintance from Bureau 749

next day

Zhang Lingfeng, fully prepared, bid farewell to the Old Celestial Master and the others.

"You found Zhao Guizhen's whereabouts?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng chuckled.

"No, but I received another request that I need to take care of."

"I've already asked Na Rubao to use his network to investigate for me, and I've also told my eighth senior brother to ask his disciples outside the sect to inquire for me."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded after hearing this.

"No matter what commission you undertake, always remember safety first, even though you're beyond my comprehension now."

Hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, Zhang Lingfeng felt a warmth in his heart.

Although this old man can be quite unreliable at times, a master is a master.

A teacher for a day is a father for life

He immediately bowed deeply to Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong, and at the same time secretly used the Tongtian Talisman to draw two substitute death talismans that were attached to their bodies.

After doing all this, he smiled and waved goodbye to his fellow students.

.........

He bought a plane ticket to Yunnan, then transferred to a bus, and finally rode a motorcycle towards the Ailao Mountains.

The middle-aged man on the motorcycle, seeing Zhang Lingfeng's mountaineering gear, couldn't help but ask him curiously where he was going.

"Young man, judging by your bag and hiking boots, you're not headed to the Ailao Mountains, are you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng smiled slightly.

"Young man, you really went to that godforsaken place!"

"Whatever your reason, take my advice: if you want to take a look, just walk around outside. Don't go in."

"I'm not trying to scare you, but strange things have been happening in the Ailao Mountains again lately."

"Just yesterday, when Uncle went to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs, a purple miasma suddenly appeared, followed by a roar that sounded like a tiger and a cow, and then the miasma retreated."

"It's really creepy!"

Hearing the uncle's description, Zhang Lingfeng knew that the sound was most likely the cry of the water dragon tainted with dragon energy.

As for the so-called poisonous miasma, it was the fishy smell exhaled by creatures like dragons, as mentioned in the research reports of Mr. Cao and Mr. Wang Zizhong.

The purple miasma indicates it's highly toxic!

However, Zhang Lingfeng still feigned surprise and asked...

"Huh? Don't try to scare me, I don't believe in these mountain spirits and monsters."

The uncle snorted somewhat unconvinced after hearing this.

"Young man, I'm not lying to you, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday."

"That was definitely poisonous miasma. After all, there were many struggling birds and beasts on the ground after the miasma receded. Ugh, it was terrifying!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng jokingly asked him...

"You didn't take those back to eat, did you?"

The uncle quickly shook his head.

"I'm not stupid. That stuff is extremely poisonous and very dangerous!"

"By the way, young man, you absolutely, positively must not venture deep into the Ailao Mountains. In our terms, these mountains are very spiritual and will actively prevent you from going in."

"If you explorers were talking about it, you'd call it some kind of chaotic magnetic field or something, but I don't really understand it."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled and nodded, indicating that he would just look around outside.

Soon, the uncle took Zhang Lingfeng on his motorcycle into a small mountain village at the foot of the Ailao Mountains.

However, on their way into the village, they found an SUV parked on the side of the road.

When Zhang Lingfeng saw the 749 markings on the car body, which only superhumans could see, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Bureau 749 is an official organization of supernatural beings that was originally affiliated with the company but later became independent of it.

The company's secretly trained Dragon Slayer Team was later placed under the management of 749.
