Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

These words clearly indicate ill intent.

The pangolin wasn't stupid; it tried to open its squinty eyes wider—

"Thump!"

The lead pangolin was even more agitated, slamming its tail on the ground with even greater force, causing the rubble to bounce up.

Seeing this, Ou Yun immediately whispered to Leng Ruolan, "Captain Leng, aren't we going a bit too far?"

After all, they were the ones who needed their help first!

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruolan glanced at him immediately. "Brother, didn't you say we should try diplomacy first, then resort to force?"

Ou Yun pointed to the rocket launcher on Leng Ruolan's shoulder and said, "Yeah, isn't this a gift?"

He thought to himself, "Dude, I'm already being kind by not popping an energy cannon out of the golden supply crate and blowing you up."

Well, let's be civilized and try to reason things out first.

"..."

But in Leng Ruolan's view—

Oh well, this guy really does whatever comes to mind.

Anyway, they're here today to do only three things.

iron ore.

iron ore.

It's still that damn iron ore!

Leng Ruolan cleared her throat, raised her chin at the three pangolins, and shouted in a strong voice, "Hey! Who's in charge here?"

The three pangolins remained motionless, their six slit-like eyes fixed intently on them.

The lead one slapped the ground again with its tail.

However, the rhythm of this shoot was a little different—thump thump, thump thump thump.

It's like some kind of code.

Ou Yun immediately glanced at Leng Ruolan: "What is it saying?"

"Hmm? So you're asking me?"

Leng Ruolan immediately let out a "ha".

"You're the one who can talk to cats."

"That's a cat, this is a pangolin, they're different."

"What's the difference?"

"You can pet a cat, but try petting a pangolin!"

North and South: Meow meow meow?

The two were still arguing.

The ground suddenly shook again.

This time it wasn't the sound of a tail slapping the ground, but a muffled thud coming from the direction of the cliff.

The rubble at the bottom of the cliff began to roll down, and soil fell from the cliff face.

Immediately afterwards, a head even larger than the previous three combined emerged from the cliff face!

The head was covered in iron-gray scales that gleamed with a cold, hard metallic sheen.

Its eyes were no longer slits—they were two obsidian-like vertical pupils, staring straight at the two people and the cat below the cliff.

Its body looks as if it was squeezed out of the cliff, incredibly robust.

The scales were layered upon layered, each one looking very thick, like a second quilt that a southerner would use in winter.

Its front paws rested on the cliff face, its claws digging into the rock.

Finally, there's its tail.

When the tail was pulled out of the cliff, a gust of wind swept by, and just by dragging it on the ground, it plowed a deep trench in the earth.

"roar--"

It opened its mouth and let out a low growl.

"..."

Ou Yun looked up at the giant pangolin, which was at least four meters tall, and remained silent for two seconds.

Then he turned to look at Leng Ruolan: "Captain Leng."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think this is their leader?"

"I think so."

"So, shouldn't we talk to them?"

"Right?"

Do you think it can understand what we're saying?

"Hard to say."

"Tsk."

I'm asking you for absolutely no reason!

Ou Yun took a deep breath and took a step forward.

He looked up at the giant pangolin's obsidian vertical pupils, a kind smile spreading across his face, his voice loud and sincere—

"Dude! I'm here to negotiate!"

Leng Ruolan gave him a strange look and tightened her grip on the rocket launcher on her shoulder.

Ou Yun believed that his negotiation was quite good. He not only expressed goodwill but also clearly and directly stated his demands in a simple and straightforward manner, without any beating around the bush!

Sure enough, the pangolin king made a move.

The giant pangolin's black, pebble-like eyes narrowed instantly into slits after hearing Ou Yun's words.

Then he suddenly turned around.

Dragon's Tail Swing!

"Whoa!!!"

The other person ignored you and gave you a tail elbow strike.

That tail is powerful.

If Leng Ruolan hadn't reacted quickly enough to kick Ou Yun away, they would both be in pieces by now.

Cold's kick was perfect, playing right into Euro's hands—

Ou Yun flew directly to a tree and hung himself from the southeast branch.

"Yue...!!"

He spat out a rainbow candy.

Ou Yun thought to himself, "Damn it, I haven't even had a duel with the Pangolin King yet, and I'm about to be killed by my own people!"

Leng Ruolan wasn't in much better shape either. In that instant, she not only had to save Ou Yun but also had to guard against the giant pangolin king's tail.

He also had a rocket launcher slung over his shoulder.

As Leng Ruolan retreated, she thought to herself, "Why am I bothering with all this effort!"

Ignoring what Ou Yun was thinking, he fired a shot at the pangolin king in front of him.

"boom--!"

Leng Ruolan was quite confident in her accuracy, and her timing was also very precise.

This shot hit the pangolin king squarely on the forehead, blasting it open like a peach blossom.

"Roar!"

As expected, the pangolin king let out a painful roar and lay on the ground clutching its head amidst the smoke from the explosion.

The other pangolins were taken aback by this sight and instinctively took several steps back, staring warily at the two two-legged creatures in front of them.

What is this thing?!

How can something so tiny make their big bosses dizzy?!

At this moment, Ou Yun also climbed down from the tree.

When he came over and saw the giant pangolin writhing on the ground in pain, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, I tried to talk to you nicely, but you had to resort to violence. Now look what happened, you only realize your mistake after getting hit..."

However, Ou Yun hadn't finished speaking.

The Pangolin King suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyes wide with anger, staring intently at Ou Yun and Leng Ruolan in front of him.

I'm angry.

But the European team remained completely unfazed.

"Captain Cold, one more shot."

There's nothing I can do, bro. It's survival of the fittest. Please understand.

But Leng Ruolan's expression was not as relaxed as Ou Yun's.

Indeed, rocket launchers are quite powerful; the impact alone could blast this guy away.

But the problem is...

It just got blown away!

It's just that the brick flies because of sheer force!

How come she didn't see any wounds on this guy's body?

Leng Ruolan thought to herself that something might be wrong—

But I did it anyway.

The rocket launcher's muzzle was aimed at the pangolin king's head, and another rocket blasted out.

"boom!"

This time, Leng Ruolan aimed at the same spot as the previous shot.

If you're going to attack, attack one spot; the damage can stack.

however.

After taking that hit, the pangolin king seemed to have learned its lesson—

Seeing Leng Ruolan fire at it, it didn't just stand there dumbfounded. With a quick dodge, it actually dodged the attack with great skill!

"boom!!!"

The shells exploded on the mountainside behind us, and thick smoke carrying metal rolled in, which was very pungent.
