Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Should we really use that...? The dragon's physical condition has been severely weakened by the several explosions. If Su Wanxi uses her full power, she has at least a 50% chance of killing the dragon.

But after that, she would fall into a very long period of weakness. Apart from Qin Kexin and Zhou Li, Su Wanxi remained somewhat skeptical.

Qi Bei, Zhang Yizhe, Xu Bai... and Mu Taofang, who has yet to appear, along with the outsiders...

Halfway through her thought, Su Wanxi lowered her cold gaze and realized that Zhou Li's condition was extremely poor. If it weren't for her own abilities, he would have been disemboweled by the claws long ago.

Another RPG shot blasted at the dragon's head, and the creature took another deep breath, beginning to build up a sonic wave.

Tsk... Su Wanxi bit her lower lip and fired several shots at the snake's eyes with her Type 95 rifle. The next second, she rolled onto the dragon's body. Because the spikes had just been used and hadn't had time to regenerate, only solid muscles remained on the dragon's back.

"Uncle Zhou, please keep an eye on my surroundings..." The fair hand gently touched the flesh, and the dragon felt a sharp pain inside its body. It twisted its body wildly but could not relieve the pain.

Condensing her power into a tiny point, forming a gravitational tide with tearing properties... Su Wanxi's shoulders began to tremble slightly, and her upturned eyelashes were covered with a thin mist.

The ability resistance of the neutral creature is too strong, and even releasing it at close range requires a great deal of mental energy.

If Su Wanxi had a lump of soil or an ordinary monster in her hand, the mental energy she would have consumed to release the Gravity Tide would be at most one-tenth of what it is now.

The creature's soft abdominal cavity writhed continuously, as if something was trying to burst out of its body. The dragon spread its wings with all its might, trying to fly by using its skeleton, which was missing its fleshy membrane.

Gravitational pressure... In addition to the gravitational tides, Su Wanxi once again diverted her attention to manipulate the surrounding gravity field, causing the location where she and the dragon were to rapidly sink, kicking up countless specks of dust.

Just then, the feeling of being watched returned. Su Wanxi looked up and saw Xu Bai raising his pistol and aiming it at her.

"Bang!" The bullet was cleaved in two by the Tang sword, and Zhou Li closed in on Xu Bai in a few steps.

Just as I suspected... the girl, clutching her forehead, swayed and tried to get down...

"Swoosh!" Just then, another 5.56mm bullet tore through the air and shot towards Su Wanxi.

Section 131, Chapter 129: On the Importance of Intra-Team Communication

From being promoted to Rank A to becoming the leader of the Special Operations Group of the Hermit Branch, Su Wanxi got injured less and less often, so much so that she almost forgot what it felt like.

As if she had been pushed from the side, her steps, clad in black combat boots, faltered slightly. She slowly lowered her eyes, revealing a striking crimson hue to her fitted trench coat.

A distinct burning sensation came from her lower abdomen, and Su Wanxi knew she had been shot. She crouched in the blind spot of the bone wing and used her remaining mental energy to press down on the dragon's head.

Once the creature dies, the rift will automatically disintegrate; those remaining outside are all fully armed members of the Hermit Bureau...

Just as the dragon's sharp teeth were about to bite off its own lower jaw, Su Wanxi suddenly felt a darkness before her eyes.

There was something on the bullet... Before losing consciousness, she saw ripples spreading across the space in front of her.

Zhan Taiyi and Mu Taofen were the first to pass through the portal, while Li Wenhai held a black M16A4 to cover their rear.

"With the anesthetic added, do you feel pretty good?" Su Wanxi leaned against the giant dragon bone wing, blood gushing from her lower abdomen, her delicate, curled eyelashes covering her eyes.

Li Wenhai glanced at Mu Taofen and whispered, "Give Miss Su a quick bandage; she can't die... Also, keep an eye on the creature; don't let it die too soon."

After speaking, Li Wenhai walked to the edge of the dragon's back and looked down at another battle scene.

“Mr. Zhou’s abilities are indeed impressive…” Xu Bai wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth. The bone shield, riddled with holes, transformed into a brand-new sharp blade. He had already transformed his entire body into a solid keratin layer, and even his eyes were covered with a pale white film.

Zhou Li held the blade between his index and middle fingers and gently wiped it, removing bone fragments while using the metal's reflection to observe his surroundings.

Qi Bei collapsed and remained unconscious due to tinnitus. The only person present who could directly help him was Zhang Yizhe. Qin Kexin's Glock pistol couldn't penetrate the opponent's defenses, so it would be better to have her find a safe location to establish a communication network.

“If this continues... you’re doomed…” Zhou Li pointed the knife at Xu Bai, his tone neither sad nor happy.

“Indeed.” Xu Bai simply smiled and pointed the bone blade at Zhou Li as well.

"Ali, watch out behind you!" Almost the instant Zhan Taiyi appeared, Zhou Li twisted his wrist and slashed fiercely behind him.

A slippery sensation came from the tip of the blade, and Zhan Tai also entered a liquefied state. His clothes and guns fell straight to the ground. Xu Bai took this opportunity to step forward, the tip of the bone blade pointing directly at the back of Zhou Li's head.

"Clang!" A chainsaw was placed in front of the bone blade and collided head-on with it.

Zhang Yizhe pressed the button, and the serrated edge shot out several sparks. With a forceful upward lift, he cut the mutated limb in two.

"Well done, but are you sure you want to keep struggling?" Xu Bai smiled instead of getting angry, his gaze bypassing Zhang Yizhe and turning to the people behind him.

Li Wenhai grabbed Qin Kexin's shoulder with his left hand, while pointing the Glock gun at her temple with his right.

"Put down your knives, we don't want to cause unnecessary casualties..."

......

Gu Cheng groped her way forward through the black mist, holding a black Type 95 rifle and with various bullets strapped to her waist, fully armed from head to toe.

"Orange?" A clear voice rang in her mind. Qin Kexin was no more than a hundred meters away from her.

"It's me. Where are you? Please tell Captain Su..."

"Gu Cheng, don't show yourself in the front for now. Xu Bai and Mu Taofen have betrayed us; they've kidnapped Captain Su and Qin Kexin." Zhou Li still held his Tang sword, silently exchanging glances with Li Wenhai.

"What do I need to do?" Gu Cheng's heart sank. She didn't ask Su Wanxi why she was kidnapped, but instead asked about the battle plan.

"They shouldn't have noticed you coming in... Captain Su is on the back of the descending creature, so he should be being watched by Mu Taofen..."

Giving instructions in his mind, Zhou Li remained outwardly calm as he slowly approached Li Wenhai.

"Understood." A flash of lightning appeared in his light brown pupils, and his body's functions were greatly enhanced. Gu Cheng quietly approached the dragon along the shadows of the building.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot immediately." Beads of sweat appeared on Li Wenhai's forehead. Five meters was his safe distance from Zhou Li. If he got too close, the other party could slice the Glock barrel in two before pulling the trigger.

"As you wish." Zhou Li plunged the tip of his knife into the ground, his eyes calm and unwavering.

It felt like another reptile had appeared on its body. The dragon, whose bones had been broken by the gravitational tides, had lost the right to struggle.

Gu Cheng lay prone on the dragon's back, silently approaching the bone wing. She saw its slender, long legs and its long, jet-black hair swaying in the wind.

Drawing a military dagger from his waist, Gu Cheng tensed all his muscles and charged out.

Mu Taofen was still bandaging Su Wanxi, but instinctively stretched out her arm to block.

A line of blood splattered in mid-air. Mu Taofen instantly wanted to pick up her pistol and aim at Gu Cheng, but her wrist twitched involuntarily due to the electric current. She decisively raised her heel and aimed at Su Wanxi's neck.

Gu Cheng saw that the other person's heels were covered with sharp blades and instinctively stretched out her leg to block the attack.

It hurts so much... Her fair skin was covered in blood, and the girl's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Keep stimulating the muscles, I'll help you take care of her..." Gu Chengyan whispered in his mind, using the recoil to press Mu Taofen against the dragon's back.

The next second, her right hand, which was still not numb, gripped the military knife at her waist and stabbed it fiercely into Gu Cheng's thigh.

The knife tip pierced the flesh, and the warm fingertips simultaneously touched Mu Taofen's left chest.

"You..." The latter coughed up a mouthful of blood, convulsed for a moment, and then stopped moving.

If someone were to perform an autopsy, they would discover that a piece of the woman's heart was missing.

"Huff huff huff..." Gu Chengyan clutched her thigh and gasped for breath. She did not immediately pull out the dagger, but waited for Gu Cheng to spontaneously concentrate the electric current on the wound.

"Mmm." A soft moan escaped her throat. The moment the dagger left her skin, the high heat from the electric current compressed her blood vessels, forming a blood clot that could temporarily stop the bleeding.

The girl limped over to Su Wanxi's side and reached out her finger to check her breath.

Long and delicate... he must have just fainted...

"Uncle Zhou, Captain Su is safe here..." Zhou Li was still confronting Li Wenhai, the two of them less than ten meters apart.

"I'm heating the blood from the dragon's mouth...it should take about a minute..." Qin Kexin secretly connected Qi Bei's signal to the channel; he had already woken up from his brief coma.

Just then, Li Wenhai finally noticed the abnormality and lightly slashed Qin Kexin's neck with his hand. The communication channel instantly collapsed, and everyone present lost contact.

Taking advantage of this opening, Zhou Li drew his Tang sword and lunged straight at Li Wenhai.

"Looking for death?" Li Wenhai was about to pull the trigger when the pistol was already being sliced ​​off his arm and sent flying into the air.

P.S. The battle will end in the next chapter~

Chapter 132: Author's Note on the Release of the Book~

The first chapter of this book was published on May 4th, so it's been almost three months now...

Because this was my first time writing a book, I had little experience, so the process was a bit bumpy. Sometimes, even I felt that my writing style and pacing were a bit strange.

Fortunately, the editor was very nice~

Actually, when it came time to publish the book, I didn't know what to say. I asked some friends in the group, and I think I should thank my editor, all the readers, my parents, my teachers, and my country.

After writing 270,000 words, I finally made up my mind to click the "upload" button. I thought I would wait a while to confirm the number of chapters before publishing, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

This volume has about ten more chapters left to finish. The battles in the last few chapters have been a bit uneventful, but it will be over soon. The next ten or so chapters should be the honeymoon period after the confession.

.....

I'm still a little nervous...it feels like the college entrance exam results are about to be released...

In conclusion, thank you all for your support. As I said at the beginning of the book, I will finish writing this book no matter what. Please feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments section or send me a private message.

Section 133, Chapter 130: Guiding Truth

Li Wenhai stared blankly at the blade so close to his face, blood gushing from his right shoulder staining Qin Kexin's beautiful cheeks a bright red.

"Zhan Taiyi!" He staggered back a few steps and fell into the azure ripples of space. Zhou Li reached out and put his arm around the girl's waist, gently holding Qin Kexin in his arms.

At the same time, Qi Bei heated all the blood in the dragon's mouth, and used it as a basis to trigger a violent explosion. The heat wave blew, and dust and plastic waste flew everywhere.

Space began to collapse, the distant horizon began to shrink, and everything around seemed to be blurred with a filter.

Li Wenhai instantly appeared beside Zhan Taiyi, who wrapped his arms around Zhan's right shoulder in a liquid form, using his own abilities to help stop the bleeding.

Xu Bai had already cornered Zhang Yizhe, and the sharp bone blade suddenly stabbed towards the man's head.

"Bang!" A Magnum bullet carrying a paralyzing electric current instantly struck Xu Bai's right chest. Even the hardened stratum corneum could not stop the raging current.

"I should have fired this shot..." Gu Chengyan's shooting skills were not as good as Gu Cheng's after all, and this bullet had gone way off target.

"Would you aim for his forehead?"
