54: Linglong: This fire burns my paws

Not long after, Camilla and the President saw explosions flash through the white mist on the tablet screen, and the surrounding white mist was dispersed by the sound of the explosions.

It was precisely because of these explosions that Camilla and the President were able to clearly see the appearance of the snake demon inside.

Although it was only for a very brief moment, the white mist quickly re-gathered, obscuring their view again.

But even in that short time, the image of the snake demon was etched into their minds and would not fade.

Its enormous body made the surrounding trees look tiny, and its entire body was covered in light blue scales, reflecting cold light in the sunlight, looking extremely terrifying!

What made them even more incredible was that after such continuous strong explosions, the scales on this snake demon's body showed no signs of damage, still looking pristine and shiny.

Camilla and the President knew that besides conventional firearms, these special forces soldiers also carried portable grenade launchers, and their power was considerable.

Yet, even so, they couldn't even scratch it!

Such continuous bombing just now, even if it were on the world's largest animal, would have completely pulverized it.

And before the white mist re-covered, they saw that the trees, in front of the snake demon's tail, were like paper.

One sweep of its tail and all the trees were directly snapped.

This kind of monster was just like the monsters in those giant beast movies frequently filmed in their country!

Once it appeared in a City, it would inevitably cause huge disaster and losses.

Thinking of this, the President breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this snake demon was in the White Mountain Range, and its location was still forty to fifty kilometers away from the nearest populated area.

Eliminating it in the mountains could minimize losses!

He didn't even dare to imagine what consequences would ensue if this snake were to enter a City.

It's estimated that by then, his position as President would also come to an end...

The President then no longer hesitated, immediately dialling the phone to instruct the Commander to order all these special forces to retreat and for the armed forces stationed outside the White Mountain Range to begin preparations.

Because he knew that the weapons carried by these special forces alone would likely find it difficult to kill the snake demon, perhaps not even injure it.

However, when he heard on the phone that all the soldiers in the white mist had lost contact and could not be reached at all, his face instantly turned pale.

If they were to use those large weapons for targeted strikes now, not a single one of the soldiers in the white mist would likely survive!

But if they were to give up just like that, and this snake demon were to descend the mountain directly, not waiting for four days, then the disaster would be even more severe.

After a moment of thought, the President quickly made a decision.

He directly authorized the launch of missiles to lock onto the white mist area for targeted bombing. As for the hundred-plus special forces soldiers, he told the Commander to figure out how to get them out, giving the Commander stationed outside only half an hour.

Compared to the immediate trouble, the President valued his position more; and compared to his position as President, what was the death of a hundred soldiers?

Moreover, he had given them half an hour. If anyone remained in the white mist area after half an hour, they could only pray for their own good fortune.

After giving the orders, the President turned to look at his young daughter, Camilla, and then explained, "This is the only way. The longer we drag it out, the more unforeseen changes will occur."

Hearing the President's words, Camilla nodded silently.

She also knew that facing such a powerful monster, if it could not be eliminated early, it would cause immense destruction and greater casualties.

At this moment, Camilla suddenly thought of the extraordinary individuals from Xia Kingdom mentioned in the diary.

The diary also mentioned her, saying that she would also possess extraordinary power in the future.

If she had obtained such extraordinary power now, perhaps dealing with such matters would be much simpler...

Thinking of this, Camilla looked at the screen on the tablet again and couldn't help but sigh.

.........

Inside the Cave Heaven Small World.

Li Mu, who was controlling the True Fire within his body to melt the gold essence, had completely forgotten the passage of time.

At first, Linglong, inside the Cave Heaven Small World, accompanied Li Mu, watching him refine the gold essence.

However, as time passed, she realized that Li Mu maintained a single posture controlling the fire, barely moving, and her sense of novelty instantly vanished.

Then she began to play in the Cave Heaven Small World, flying to flower bushes to eat butterflies, flying into the water to eat fish, and competing with the birds in the sky to see who flew faster, with the slower one getting eaten in that kind of game.

Days passed, and Li Mu was still controlling the fire to refine the gold essence, which made Linglong feel incredibly bored.

Originally, her master would talk to her every day and even praise her.

Now, her master was always Artifact Refining and had no time to accompany her.

Linglong glared fiercely at the Artifact Refining tools in front of Li Mu, and with her still very naive intelligence, she thought, wouldn't her master pay attention to her if she made him stop?

Thinking of this, Linglong felt amazed by her own cleverness.

Then she scurried over, wanting to take away the Artifact Refining tools in front of Li Mu to make him stop.

However, before her claws even touched them, they were burned by the True Fire released by Li Mu, making her yelp.

She quickly retracted her little paws, then looked at the flames with a shocked and fearful expression.

She didn't understand why the flames her master had burned before didn't burn the Dragon, but these flames were so hot?

Unable to figure it out, Linglong looked at Li Mu, then at the flames very close to Li Mu.

She had just personally experienced the power of these flames, and now her master was so close to them. What if he accidentally got burned?

So Linglong thought of what she considered a perfect solution!

She scurried over, encircling Li Mu with her body, only leaving Li Mu's two hands exposed through the gaps to control the fire.

All other parts were wrapped by Linglong's body, to prevent Li Mu from being burned by these powerful flames.

When she saw that Li Mu was completely enveloped by her, Linglong grinned with great satisfaction.

Time passed bit by bit, and the bored Linglong also felt a wave of sleepiness, then fell into a deep sleep.

She slept for fourteen days straight!

When she woke up and opened her sleepy eyes, she immediately saw Li Mu looking at her with a smile, and the sleepiness in her mind instantly dissipated.
