26: Be sure to delay it for half an hour! Li Mu will be here soon

"A Dragon has really appeared!"

When they saw the video in the pop-up news on their phones, both Jin Meiting and Ji Jiangxue were extremely shocked.

Especially when they saw the Dragon in the video, even though the video was shot from a very long distance, they could still feel the invisible pressure emanating from the Dragon.

Jin Meiting then said no more, directly closed her phone, and got up to walk towards Ji Jiangxue's office.

Seeing Jin Meiting leave her office and head towards Ji Jiangxue's office, the employees in the public office area immediately started to discuss amongst themselves.

Although they weren't sure when Jin Meiting and Ji Jiangxue became so close, it didn't stop them from gossiping.

At the same time, the reactions of the others in different locations, looking at the video on their phones, were no different from Jin Meiting's!

Wang Cao, a second-year high school student, was flushed with excitement as he watched the video on his phone.

Since a Dragon had appeared, it seemed his time to save the world wasn't far off!

Shi Niang, Xing Mulan, and Ke Ming were also extremely shocked at this moment.

Initially, after they finished reading the diary, they wondered if it was too terrifying for a mythical Dragon to appear before the Spiritual Qi's resurgence.

Who could deal with such an existence?

But it hadn't even been a few hours, and a video of a Dragon appearing over East City popped up on their phones.

Although the video was taken down shortly after, and even photos or all topics related to East City were directly removed.

However, it still caused a huge sensation on the internet and quickly spread, reaching all over the world and causing considerable controversy everywhere.

It's just that compared to the discussions domestically, most of the foreign discussions were about whether it was special effects, a movie trailer, or if it was real or fake.

It wasn't as frantic as it was domestically.

At this moment, Li Mu sat in the pavilion within the Cave Heaven Small World, looking at the latest three mission trust levels for the diary content displayed on the System page.

[Shi Niang's trust level in the diary content has reached eighty-seven percent, rewarding eighty points of Deception Points.]

[Wang Cao's trust level in the diary content is full, rewarding ninety points of Deception Points, one High Grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace, and one Pill Formula Compendium.]

[Yi He's trust level in the diary content is full, rewarding ninety points of Deception Points, one Spirit Trapping Formation Plate, and one Spirit Beast Contract.]

When he saw these three trust levels, Li Mu's face broke into a wide smile.

His Deception Points were previously exhausted, but now he was rich again, directly gaining two hundred and sixty Deception Points.

Of course, this wasn't what made Li Mu happiest.

What made Li Mu happiest were the rewards for the two full trust levels.

He had to admit, the System was truly generous!

Not to mention the High Grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace, the Pill Formula Compendium was directly given, containing all methods for refining Medicinal Pills, which was a huge benefit for Li Mu.

And the Spirit Trapping Formation Plate and Spirit Beast Contract that came after were also what Li Mu currently needed most.

After all, Li Mu had previously thought about capturing this Dragon to be his mount, and these two items could just come in handy!

The thought of soon having a Dragon as a mount, even though this Dragon had just evolved and was still very weak, didn't stop him from using it to show off in the future!

Moreover, this Dragon's Talent Spiritual Fruit ability was very strong, with a very high potential for power increase, so it wouldn't be completely useless in the future.

Li Mu then eagerly took out all the rewards from this time.

The Pill Furnace and Pill Formula were directly thrown into his Storage Pouch, it wouldn't be too late to look at them when Li Mu had free time.

Li Mu then picked up the Spirit Trapping Formation Plate and Spirit Beast Contract in his hand.

The Formation Plate was still palm-sized, covered with various complex runes, looking very ancient and profound.

As for the Spirit Beast Contract, it was a triangular object made of an unknown material, with red and white lines throughout.

According to the System's usage instructions, one only needed to drip their blood onto it, then inject it into a Spirit Beast or Yao Beast's body to forcibly subdue it, making it one's mount or Spirit Pet.

And because of the Spirit Beast Contract's existence, the Spirit Beast could not resist or harm its master in the slightest!

This was truly a good item!

Li Mu excitedly rubbed the Spirit Beast Contract with his hand for a while, then pricked his finger and dripped his blood into the Spirit Beast Contract.

The next second, the Spirit Beast Contract directly absorbed Li Mu's drop of fresh blood, and its original red line appearance instantly turned blood-red, with a complex runic mark appearing in the very center.

Seeing this, Li Mu knew it was done; now he only needed to inject this Spirit Beast Contract into the Dragon's body to directly subdue it.

Li Mu then got up and put away both the Spirit Trapping Formation Plate and the Spirit Beast Contract.

After leaving the Cave Heaven Small World, he casually formed a hand seal, and his entire person instantly vanished from the spot, flying rapidly towards East City on the wind.

......

Towards the capital.

A person rushed into the Grand Elder's office, and upon seeing the Grand Elder, quickly said, "Report, Grand Elder, the target you asked us to monitor is rapidly moving towards East City."

Hearing this report, the Grand Elder, who had been looking worried, finally had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and his furrowed expression relaxed.

He then quickly asked, "How much longer until he reaches East City?"

"His speed is too fast! At his speed, he'll probably arrive in less than half an hour!"

Hearing this answer, the Grand Elder finally nodded, then picked up the landline on the desk and dialed a number.

On the other end of the phone, Lan Kun, who was confronting the Dragon, answered the call: "Hello, Grand Elder, this is Lan Kun..."

"Lan Kun, no matter what method you use, you must delay this Dragon for half an hour. Within this half an hour, you must not let it destroy East City!"

Hearing the Grand Elder's instruction, Lan Kun's face showed surprise.

Although he didn't know what other arrangements the Grand Elder had for a creature like the Dragon, he still nodded and responded, "Yes! Mission accomplished."

After hanging up the phone, the Grand Elder began to ponder again.

He then said to the person opposite him, "How are the people you arranged to contact Li Mu?"

The person said, "Arrangements have been made properly, and the person has already entered Heng City, but they haven't yet found an opportunity to contact Li Mu."

The Grand Elder nodded understandingly when he heard this: "It's fine, these things can't be rushed, just take your time."

"Go!"

The person received the order, saluted the Grand Elder, and then left.

And in the direction of East City, Lan Kun, who had hung up the phone, looked at the Dragon in the sky.

He let out a long breath, and his eyes became very determined: "Half an hour, huh? Then let's do it! Let me see how powerful the Dragon from myths and legends truly is!"
