Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

Chapter 176 New Mission: The Dragon Undergoing Tribulation

"You'll definitely get your share of the rewards, but there are a few things to take care of before that." Cui Jiuyou's voice sounded a little tired.

Wang Hu, who was lying on the balcony, twitched his ears and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Well, judging by this, there's definitely more work to be done. They won't even let me get a proper night's sleep after I just got back; even capitalists would weep at this.

"Don't tell me I've barely settled back in and I already have another mission?" Lin Yue's tone became somewhat wary; she wasn't stupid.

"cough----"

Cui Jiuyou coughed dryly on the other end, sounding a little embarrassed: "Well, the capable should do more, the capable should do more."

Don't give me that!

Lin Yue wasn't having it. She sat back down on the sofa, clutching her communicator, and crossed her legs. "Old Cui, let me tell you, we risked our lives this time! It was a near-death experience! Look at Big Cat, he almost got seriously injured by that guy Number Thirteen while covering for me. And me? My mental energy's been completely depleted, my head's still throbbing. This isn't over until I'm off work for at least ten days to two weeks!"

As she spoke, she winked at Wang Hu on the balcony, her meaning quite clear.

Big cat, cooperate!

Wang Hu flicked the tip of his tail in agreement, letting out a lazy growl that did sound somewhat weak.

Moreover, as he watched Lin Yue and Cui Jiuyou bargaining, a strange smile appeared on his face. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that Lin Yue had more than two personalities, because the Lin Yue at this moment looked different from the two personalities before.

Upon hearing this, Cui Jiuyou, on the other end of the communicator, couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Hu and Lin Yue, one a White Tiger and the other a Vermilion Bird, are the most elite fighting force in China, like pillars of strength.

Such a person represents the very essence of China, more precious than his own life, and naturally could not be treated as an ordinary soldier.

Normally, after completing a task, Wang Hu and Lin Yue could take a break for a while.

Moreover, since the regional mastermind Qiming, whom the two brought back, was still under research, it was indeed necessary for the two of them to stay here to oversee things, just in case.

He originally wanted both of them to have a good rest for a while, but unfortunately, China, and even the whole world, is going through a turbulent time.

A momentous event is unfolding in the Pacific Ocean, urgently requiring strong individual combat capabilities to provide support. This is why Cui Jiuyou reluctantly made this call.

"Lin girl, this mission is really important, and it may also be of great benefit to you."

Cui Jiuyou softened his tone and began to coax, "Let me finish speaking first, then you can decide whether to go or not. I will absolutely not force you."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." Lin Yue pouted.

"Lin girl, this time a dragon has appeared in the Pacific Ocean."

Cui Jiuyou dropped a bombshell with just one sentence. Lin Yue's phone was on speakerphone, so Wang Hu naturally heard it all clearly.

dragon?

Wang Hu's narrowed eyes opened a crack in an instant, a strange light flashing in his golden vertical pupils.

Isn't this something from myths and legends? Although this world is already very unscientific, the sudden appearance of a dragon still seemed a bit far-fetched to him.

"Dragon? Old Cui, are you out of your mind? What dragon? A dragon or something else?" Lin Yue was also stunned. She even subconsciously felt that Cui Jiuyou might be delirious from a fever, even though he couldn't see Cui Jiuyou through the phone.

"It's like the five-clawed golden dragon from mythology."

Cui Jiuyou's tone became extremely serious: "We don't know the specifics either; it appeared out of thin air. More importantly, it seems to be breaking through from the third to the fourth rank, as if it's undergoing tribulation. The commotion is enormous and has been going on for two days. Now, every country and power in the world with any capability has sent people there. Therefore, I want you and Big Cat to go as well to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Cui Jiuyou didn't beat around the bush and directly explained why he made the call.

Wang Hu slowly stood up on the balcony and walked into the living room.

A dragon undergoing tribulation.

This sounds like something out of a myth. But Cui Jiuyou obviously wouldn't joke about something like this, which means it's true.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu immediately became interested.

He could tell from Master Long's breakthrough that the transition from the third to the fourth tier was a huge hurdle, and once one broke through, their strength would increase dramatically.

However, the breakthrough process of Master Long is not very useful for him to learn from. This is because Master Long's body is too special. He is human, and he broke through by forcefully catalyzing it with immature gene-enhancing drugs from another world, which is full of uncertainty and danger.

But this dragon is different.

This sounds like a pure, extraordinary being, just like himself. Although Wang Hu didn't understand why a dragon, which had never existed in this world before, had suddenly appeared and was about to break through to the fourth rank, it didn't stop him from being very interested in it and wanting to see it for himself.

How could a purely extraordinary being draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to achieve a leap in life level? This was incredibly alluring to Wang Hu, who had also reached the peak of the third tier.

Lin Yue was clearly the same.

The laziness and dissatisfaction on her face vanished instantly, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of shock and ecstasy.

"Tribulation? Breaking through to the fourth rank of a true dragon?"

She muttered to herself, her eyes shining brightly: "Holy crap! Really?!"

For those who had already reached the peak of the third tier, nothing was more instructive than witnessing a powerful extraordinary being break through from the third to the fourth tier firsthand. It was practically a textbook fallen from the sky!

"So, are you going or not?" Cui Jiuyou asked in a deep voice.

"Yes! Of course I'll go!"

Lin Yue practically shouted it out, jumping excitedly on the sofa: "Where else can you find such a good thing! Don't worry, Lao Cui, I guarantee I'll complete the mission! When do we leave?"

The speed of this change in attitude even caught Wang Hu's attention.

Just a moment ago he was acting like he was dying and wanted a vacation, but now that he hears there's something exciting to watch, he's more enthusiastic than anyone else.

He walked over to Lin Yue and nuzzled her with his head, as if to express his agreement.

Hearing that both of them had agreed, Cui Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of Lin Yue and Wang Hu's special circumstances, he couldn't force them if they truly didn't want to go. However, this matter was of paramount importance; the dragon's attitude towards China could very well influence the world order for decades to come, and a top-tier expert was needed to oversee it.
