MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Yes, Zhong Minghuang was uneasy, fearing that the Black Dragon might have set a trap to eliminate Lu Hong. However, the Qilin is too important to Hua Country to be abandoned.

So even if it was a trap, Zhong Minghuang had to brace himself and send Lu Hong to face it.

Without any hesitation, Zhong Minghuang directly said to Lu Hong: "Even if you don’t take on this mission, once it’s reported to the higher-ups, they’ll probably talk to me and persuade you to assist. So it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. But you must be cautious; if you find anything different from what was expected, you can leave immediately. Be decisive. Your life is above all interests; you are now Hua Country’s stabilizing force, and there cannot be any mistakes."

Listening to Zhong Minghuang’s advice, Lu Hong nodded: "I will."

Seeing Lu Hong agree, Zhong Minghuang glanced at Black Dragon and spoke: "Is there anything else, Jiang Hui? If not, please leave as I have some private matters to discuss with Mr. Lu."

Seeing Zhong Minghuang asking them to leave and since the business was done, Black Dragon stood up: "In that case, I won’t disturb you further. I’ll have someone inform Mr. Lu about the specifics later, farewell!"

Lu Hong saw Black Dragon to the door and then returned.

Two days passed, and Black Dragon also delivered the information about this operation.

At the same time, Lu Hong learned from Zhong Minghuang about the division of labor between the Phoenix Mercenary Corps and the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps.

Domestically, things were divided in detail. For external tasks, the two mercenary corps either cooperated in teams or operated independently. Domestically, the Phoenix Mercenary Corps mainly safeguarded the country’s internal security and stability, such as guarding cities and fighting criminal masters, while the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps resembled an internal review agency, with a large team for internal investigation of Hua Country’s official masters, which is why most Hua Country masters have a not-so-friendly attitude toward them.

And the biggest Phoenix Mercenary Corps members in Hua Country naturally held hostility towards the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps. After all, who likes someone constantly monitoring their own people?

The Black Dragon’s internal review team’s operations were very extensive, with the highest investigative authority. If they wanted to investigate, they could delve into any master’s life from birth.

If there were issues with a master’s income, expenses, or contacts, they’d certainly be taken to a small dark room for interrogation by the Black Dragon’s investigative team.

Again, possessing great powers breeds a murderous intent. Especially being something extraordinary like a master, despite the high treatment from the state, some will still be greedy and do outrageous things.

Therefore, the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps acts like the Sword of Damocles above all masters’ heads domestically. Aside from regular internal investigations, the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps also monitors nationwide potential issues.

Many tasks the Phoenix Mercenary Corps handles are actually investigated first by the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps, which then hands them over to the Phoenix Mercenary Corps for specific action.

Hence, most domestic masters in the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps are average in combat, with investigation and surveillance as their main skills.

Of course, the members of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps aren’t enough to guard all cities in Hua Country, so the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps also takes on some city-guarding duties, which is inevitable.

The most capable fighters of the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps handle strategic deployments abroad.

And it was the head of this group, a deputy head of the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps, who was turned by M Country, leading to an ambush and annihilation of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps at the Tanzan Coast.

Of course, this deputy head’s betrayal was exposed during Black Dragon’s internal investigation, followed by isolation and inquiry, but the outcome left most Phoenix Mercenary Corps members dissatisfied, feeling this deputy was a scapegoat.

The truth, perhaps only the Black Dragon knows.

Now, regarding Lu Hong’s upcoming mission.

It’s simple. According to Black Dragon’s investigation, the Qilin will appear in the area of the Panegia volcano eruption, so the goal is to capture the Qilin at the crater. If capturing is not possible, then collecting its blood and tissue to provide DNA and combat data for Hua Country.

The eruption of Panegia volcano is expected in less than a week.

Panegia is an uninhabited ocean island, but curiously, half a month ago, military and masters from Facke and England landed there, conducting unknown deployments and experiments, suspected of having detected traces of Qilin and wanting to capture this ancient mysterious beast of Hua Country.

Thus, the dangers of this journey include the erupting volcanic heat, the Qilin’s attacks, masters from Facke and England, and potential Black Dragon betrayals.

However, with absolute strength, these are minor concerns.

But Lu Hong doesn’t know the Qilin’s strength. Surviving since ancient times, it must be terrifyingly powerful. Lu Hong estimates it’s at least in its Second Transformation, if so, he will abandon the mission because a second-transformation Qilin is not something they can deal with currently.

Due to the current international situation, Hua Country can’t dispatch troops directly to the public sea of Panegia, as it would be seen as provocation to Facke and England. While Hua Country isn’t afraid to face these two countries alone, there’s a concern that it will attract the attention of M Country and R Country, complicating matters.

Therefore, only Lu Hong and ten elite members of the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps, plus Black Dragon, totaling twelve, secretly infiltrate Panegia to carry out the mission.

Lu Hong, along with Black Dragon and others, first took a warship and reached the sea area fifty miles from Panegia, then approached rapidly in a helicopter. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Finally, they landed swiftly on this impending eruptive volcano island from a concealed spot.

Panegia isn’t small, yet no one occupies it. It’s simple: its volcano might erupt several times a century, who would live there? That’s courting death.

However, this time, it’s the most intense eruption since scientific investigation began, likely bringing something very special, or it wouldn’t attract the Qilin.

Standing on the beach, Lu Hong looked up to see the volcano mouth spewing thick black smoke.

Black Dragon said to Lu Hong: "Mr. Lu, we should quickly enter the jungle; patrol helicopters from England and Facke may show up at any time."

"Alright." Lu Hong nodded and followed the group into the dense primeval jungle.

Along the way, the group discussed the possible arrival of the Qilin at Panegia.

According to Black Dragon’s description, the Qilin at least stood a hundred meters tall, enormously huge, making it hard to hide.

So Lu Hong was very curious about how it would appear.

Finding a relatively secluded high ground, they began waiting.

After about three hours, a rumbling sound came from the volcano.

Then, Lu Hong noticed a huge wave approaching from the direction of the sea he was watching.

Black Dragon stood up then, looking at the oncoming waves, visibly excited: "The Qilin, it has come!"

"No!" Lu Hong immediately denied: "It’s not the Qilin."

"Huh? What besides the Qilin could cause such a commotion?" Black Dragon was puzzled.

But Lu Hong’s expression was very strange: "It’s Godzilla."

"Go..., Godzilla?" Everyone in the Black Dragon Mercenary Corps was dumbfounded, what Godzilla, this isn’t a movie.

Seeing the group speechless, Lu Hong sighed and said: "You might think I’m talking nonsense, but I saw it, it’s really Godzilla."

Lu Hong used Spiritual Energy to cover his eyes, allowing him to see farther and clearer than average, and he saw that gigantic body under the sea waves, resembling the one in the movies!

It truly was... unbelievable!
