I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

……

Oh no, there really is a dragon here!

Guan Mi was so frightened he almost screamed.

Dust flying everywhere!

She managed to steady herself, but the microphone in her hand had somehow fallen to the ground.

The scene was frozen in time, with everyone completely still.

From the director to the cameraman and lighting technician, as well as the few temporary workers doing odd jobs, everyone stared at the dragon with wide-eyed astonishment and caution.

Dragons really do exist!

The legend of Dragon Fall Valley is not unfounded!

Time passed slowly, second by second.

The dark clouds and dust gradually dissipated.

The white dragon was very close to them.

Its size, as thick as a water bucket and over ten meters long, gives it a very imposing presence.

The white, jade-like scales shimmered in the sunlight, and the dragon's horns, tinged with gold, were particularly dazzling.

The crowd's gazes gradually shifted from the white dragon to each other.

More than their curiosity about this unknown creature, they were worried about their own situation.

Suddenly, the director saw Guan Mi tiptoeing towards the direction of the white dragon.

He was so frightened he almost screamed.

The reason everyone is afraid to move is precisely because they are afraid of waking up this big guy.

Where did she get the guts to be so reckless?

The director almost cursed.

The cameraman noticed Guan Mi's actions and, quite boldly, picked up the camera and snapped a picture of the white dragon.

The sudden sound startled Guan Mi.

Seeing that Bai Long showed no signs of waking up, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to approach.

The white dragon is within reach.

She could see it more clearly now.

The dragon scales were even more delicate than she had imagined, with very subtle blue lines between them.

The white dragon was clearly not dead.

The breath it exhaled from its nostrils created a layer of icy mist on the foxtail grass in front of it, causing it to tremble in the cold wind.

Guan Mi's hands trembled.

Then, to the astonishment of the director and others, he touched Bai Long's...beard.

The white dragon still hasn't woken up.

This brought a huge sigh of relief to the director and others who had been on tenterhooks.

The cameraman picked up the camera again.

"Stop, stop, stop!" The director finally mustered up his courage and whispered to the cameraman.

He had someone pull Guan Mi, the location host, back, and led everyone to a relatively safe distance before quickly taking out his phone to call the police.

"You said you found a dragon?" The staff member who answered the call almost laughed.

"I'm the director of the 'Towards Science' program, and this is absolutely true... Making a false police report? Impossible, I know the law!"

After he identified himself, the local police station chief personally led a team to the scene.

The director initially thought it was a farce and suspected that these people might have encountered some kind of special creature.

Dragonfall Valley is a branch of the Qinling Mountains, where rare creatures occasionally appear.

However, upon arriving at the scene and seeing the living white dragon, the director was so shocked that he almost knelt down.

My goodness!

There really are dragons in this world!

The director spent five minutes confirming that the dragon was real. He then ordered the scene to be sealed off while he tried to suppress his excitement and took out his phone.

He initially considered calling his superior, but then thought it inappropriate.

The significance of the dragon in the Great Xia Kingdom is self-evident, and its influence is unimaginable.

His superior, who had just been transferred not long ago, was making things difficult for him at every turn. Why let the other party benefit from it?

This kind of thing absolutely must be reported to higher authorities!

"Director Liu is so young, I can tell him about this good thing," the director thought to himself.

He called Director Liu from the General Office, whom he had met by chance some time ago.

Liu Chongyu is receiving visitors from the military region.

The military plans to hold exercises in the vicinity, and some matters require local cooperation. He is discussing the details with the officer referred to as Staff Officer Wang.

During the conversation, his phone vibrated.

After hanging up three times, he apologized to Staff Officer Wang on the fourth time and went to the side to answer the phone.

"Dragon?" Hearing the confident words on the other end, Liu Chongyu almost thought he had misheard.

He graduated from Tsinghua University and entered the provincial government as a selected graduate, where he has worked diligently ever since, relying on his unwavering faith.

He doesn't believe in demons and monsters!

"It's absolutely true, it must be over ten meters long, completely different from ordinary pythons. By the way, the 'Towards Science' program team is here too; they called the police..."

The director, standing on the other side, patted his chest and assured him, "I'm also afraid I might have made a mistake, so I'd like to ask the director to come and take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Chongyu was still a little dazed.

He vaguely remembered that director; he was slick and worldly.

People like this usually don't dare to joke around.

Thinking of the other party's mention of "moving towards science," he had an idea and decided to seek verification from a different angle.

Five minutes later, Liu Chongyu hung up the phone, his face showing even greater confusion.

"Director Liu, is there something urgent?" Staff Officer Wang asked curiously as he walked over after seeing Liu staring blankly for almost a minute.

"Officer Wang, do you think dragons really exist in this world?" Liu Chongyu asked.

Staff Officer Wang frowned, pondering the deeper meaning of those words.

Is this guy implying that his earlier demands were too unreasonable?

“Someone just told me they saw a white dragon,” Liu Chongyu added, “that it fell from the sky?”

"Ah," Staff Officer Wang blinked, "Is Director Liu's friend joking with you?"

Liu Chongyu shook his head: "One is the head of the local police station, and the other is the director of 'Towards Science'."

Staff Officer Wang became even more skeptical: "Isn't the talk of moving towards science just a joke?"

Liu Chongyu was silent for two seconds, then took out his phone and showed the pictures on it.

This was just sent by the director, who also thoughtfully mentioned that he had confiscated everyone else's communication devices.

"Is AI's painting skill really that high?" Staff Officer Wang asked with skepticism.

"Let's go take a look together." Liu Chongyu was still a little doubtful, but he felt that the two of them had no reason to make fun of him.

"Haha, Director Liu is interested, let's go take a look together." Staff Officer Wang was very obliging.

The other party is young and promising, with a bright future, and he would be happy to make his acquaintance with him.

After about an hour's drive, the car arrived at Dragonfall Valley.

Liu Chongyu and Staff Officer Wang got out of the car one after the other, accompanied by their secretaries, guards, and others.

The director went to meet him from afar.

Seeing that Director Liu had brought an officer with him, the director secretly clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that Director Liu was indeed a man with a bright future, as he had managed to bring people from the military.

He enthusiastically introduced them to the group.

Liu Chongyu remained calm, occasionally asking a few questions.

After listening to the two exchange a few words, Staff Officer Wang chuckled and said, "So there really are dragons in this world?"

"It's right there!" the director pointed ahead.

Liu Chongyu had seen it earlier and was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

When Staff Officer Wang saw the lifelike white dragon, he was stunned for a moment.

He quickly laughed again and said, "What material is this made of? It looks quite real."

As he spoke, he walked toward the white dragon in the distance.

Liu Chongyu hesitated for a moment and did not dare to act rashly.

Just as the director was about to call a halt, he saw that Staff Officer Wang had stopped walking on his own.

Looking from behind, he could clearly see goosebumps on the other person's neck and exposed arms, and the whole person was trembling slightly.

Chapter 3: How to deal with this dragon?

Staff Officer Wang was indeed frightened.

He initially thought it was some kind of statue created as a prank by someone, but as he walked over, he saw the white dragon blink its eyes with difficulty.

The moment their eyes met, his scalp tingled, and a surge of fear filled his mind.

This feeling was even stronger than when he encountered a Tibetan bear during a field training exercise in his youth!

His body instinctively stiffened for several seconds.

He gritted his teeth to clear his head and struggled to move backward little by little.

Seeing Staff Officer Wang's appearance, Liu Chongyu knew perfectly well that the thing might be alive.

He swallowed hard, his worldview somewhat shattered.

If dragons exist, could the legendary gods and monsters also be real?

"Retreat!" Staff Officer Wang said in a low voice.

After retreating another hundred meters, Staff Officer Wang finally sat down on the ground without any regard for his image.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead; his clothes were soaked through.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chongyu asked.

“Alive,” Staff Officer Wang said in a low voice, “It glanced at me, and that feeling…”

He shook his head vigorously, struggling to come up with a description: "It's like a person facing the Trisolarans!"

No one thought he was joking.

Liu Chongyu, with a serious expression, asked the director, "Has anyone of you been in contact with him?"

“Um…” the director looked at the director.

The director quickly came over and said, "Our host, Guan Mi, touched its whiskers."

He lowered his voice again: "She is our Deputy Director Guan's niece."

Several people were stunned.

The director couldn't help but glance at Guan Mi a few more times, thinking to himself, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Liu Chongyu and Staff Officer Wang also looked over.

The two men's eyes were completely different from the director's.
