Ao Yuan lounged leisurely in the Dragon Palace, awaiting messages from the leaders of other nations.
He wasn't particularly interested in protecting these countries.
What he wanted was a definitive solution, to destroy this small world once and for all. This way, he could also seek out the inheritance of the small world.
Then, he could ask the other nations for food.
It was truly a situation with multiple benefits.
Under such circumstances,
After spending three days at Mount Taibai, all the national leaders returned with excitement.
This news immediately attracted the attention of numerous countries.
And when they learned from Han Yibang and other national leaders about the cooperation established with Ao Yuan,
Sanben Yitian regretted his decision to such an extent that his intestines were turning green.
Three days was neither long nor short.
But for the people of Fusang, these three days felt like an eternity of torment.
After all, they had to be on guard against monster attacks at all times.
He had initially thought Ao Yuan would refuse their request, but he never expected Ao Yuan to agree so easily.
Fifty percent of the grain was indeed a lot.
But as the ruler of a nation, how could he not know that these were just empty words?
Whether the other countries would keep their promises was another matter entirely.
What if they were exposed for not keeping their word?
Please, they were humans.
When had humans ever kept their promises to monstrous beasts?
They were opposing entities!
Thinking of this, Sanben Yitian sighed silently.
There was no one to blame for this situation.
If he had to blame someone, it could only be himself for choosing to return.
However, as Sanben Yitian's mood soured, the thought that Ao Yuan would eventually be tricked by these people somewhat soothed his dejected feelings.
The leader of Pretty Nation, John Klisson, felt the same.
In fact, his mood was significantly better than that of other countries.
This was because, during these past few days, the monsters had not attacked Pretty Nation.
"When Ao Yuan makes his move, you must watch carefully."
"Analyze his strength so we can devise a plan to deal with him!" John Klisson smiled and issued a strict order.
"If both sides are in a fierce battle and Ao Yuan suffers heavy losses, you can also launch a surprise attack!"
"Understood."
...
And on this day.
Han Yibang, who had just returned to Goryeo, sat in a high position, his eyes scanning the battlefield through the surveillance feed.
Armed helicopters circled endlessly in the sky, their cold muzzles pointed at the calm sea surface under the sunlight.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, countless tentacles erupted from the sea.
"Fire, fire!"
With a soft command, dozens of armed helicopters unleashed torrents of fire at the approaching tentacles.
The deafening explosions caused the attacking tentacles to be ripped apart like rotten cabbage.
They rained down into the sea like a downpour.
"Actually, as long as we defend properly, these monsters are not much of a threat," Han Yibang narrowed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
But in the next second.
Bang bang bang!
Before they could celebrate, a tentacle suddenly emerged from the side of an armed helicopter.
The tentacle was swift, precise, and fierce!
It grabbed the armed helicopter like a python catching its prey, quickly coiling around it.
Then, it dragged the armed helicopter into the depths of the sea.
Plop.
A massive splash appeared before everyone's eyes.
Han Yibang's smile froze.
He had never expected the tables to turn so quickly.
"Leader, we have already lost seventy to eighty aircraft in these three days."
A middle-aged man beside Han Yibang said with a bitter expression.
They had pretty much figured out the monsters' combat tactics.
Unfortunately... they still hadn't found a solution.
"Seventy to eighty aircraft! So many!"
Han Yibang's eyes widened, and his face showed a look of pain.
The cost of seventy to eighty aircraft was not low.
And the higher cost was for the pilots; training an armed helicopter pilot was no easy task in any country.
Let alone in the small nation of Goryeo.
Just then, an identical maneuver played out on the surveillance screen.
Watching another armed helicopter being dragged into the Pacific Ocean by the monsters, Han Yibang's pupils contracted, and he shouted in disbelief, "Phone, phone, get me the phone quickly!"
"Yes!"
The person beside him responded and handed him the phone.
Han Yibang quickly opened it and dialed Ao Yuan's number.
In the Dragon Palace,
Ao Yuan, who was leisurely scrolling through his phone, answered Han Yibang's call.
"Dragon God, do you have time now?"
"Please hurry to our Goryeo."
"Alright."
Ao Yuan nodded and calmly repeated, "You know my terms. While I haven't arrived yet, you can still consider them."
"No need to consider, no need to consider, I agree!" Han Yibang said hastily.
He was truly afraid Ao Yuan wouldn't come now.
Seventy to eighty armed helicopters in three days, twenty a day!
Where would Goryeo get the money to burn like this?
Even if Goryeo had reserves of armed helicopters, they were not plentiful.
If all the armed helicopters were annihilated by the monsters, Goryeo would have no aerial combat power in the future.
"Good!"
Hearing Han Yibang agree, Ao Yuan said nothing more and responded.
Then, he transformed into a stream of light and shot towards Goryeo.
He was at Mount Taibai, not far from Goryeo.
In less than a minute, Ao Yuan arrived above Goryeo!
Looking down, armed helicopters circled continuously, their roaring sounds echoing far and wide.
And on the sea surface,
The waves churned as if a great demon had descended.
Swish swish swish!
Tentacles as thick as water buckets continuously rose from the sea surface, carrying swirling seawater as if they possessed intelligence, heading towards the armed helicopters circling in the sky.
Despite the bright sunshine, the scene was incredibly eerie and terrifying.
Fortunately, it wasn't nighttime, or people would have been scared to death.
"Interesting!"
Watching the tentacles being severed by the armed helicopters only to regrow, Ao Yuan's eyes narrowed with interest.
He had only seen it online before, never in reality.
"My subordinates! This treasure planet is ours, charge!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Ao Yuan's mind.
Ao Yuan furrowed his brow and looked towards the sea.
He had a feeling that this voice was coming from the seabed.
At the same time,
Swish swish swish!
Countless tentacles erupted from the sea like a torrential downpour, heading towards the armed helicopters in the air.
Even though the armed helicopters were firing bullets as if they were free,
These tentacles seemed endless; after being destroyed, another would quickly emerge!
In the blink of an eye!
Ao Yuan saw that under the dense barrage of tentacles, several more armed helicopters were entangled!
"Where is Ao Yuan? Why isn't he here yet!"
Han Yibang watched this scene, trembling.
In his eyes, these armed helicopters were all shining gold—money!
"He's here, he's here!"
Suddenly, someone pointed at the surveillance screen and shouted in a panic.
Turning his head, he saw a golden lightning bolt tear through the sky, descending like a sharp sword.
Upon closer inspection, this golden figure was none other than Ao Yuan!
