Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 810 - 57 The Final Outcome of the Platinum Dragon
The happiest thing in the world is when a newbie is led to explore by an experienced pro.
In the past, Li Mumu was always the pro leading the charge, enjoying the firsthand game experience. Now, to have a chance to be carried through the plot by a pro—the thrill of it is indescribable.
Compared to the always understaffed and patchwork Special Service Bureau, the Navy is like a wealthy tycoon.
To eliminate the remnants of the Dragon Worship Church, they didn’t hesitate to deploy a Marine Corps composed of over a hundred garrison soldiers and a floating battleship with a surreal aesthetic!
The cost of operating this thing, Li Mumu didn’t even dare to imagine.
The principle of a floating ship is not complicated, as the Olympus she took from the city of Cypher is a variant of a floating ship.
No need to worry about anti-gravity technology and aerodynamic shapes because its core is the levitation engine built inside the ship’s body.
The operation principle of this engine is based on the concept of dimension overlap, effectively allowing the ship to sail in another dimension, making it appear as if it’s floating mid-air from this side.
Put simply, like in fantasy cultivation novels where some ancestor sends a divine thought into a treasure. When the protagonist is in danger, the treasure is summoned, and the terrifying divine thought frightens the enemy out of their wits.
Not physically present, but appears to be.
So, it’s levitation, not flight.
As for the deeper principles, you’d have to study at the Machine Manufacturing Bureau; middle school kids don’t need to understand that much.
The Platinum Dragon Paladin has been circling around West Spring Mountain, eyeing the new Mountain God with hostility.
Li Mumu had already sensed as much.
This old dragon shamelessly claimed to be the Ancestral Dragon of Huaxia but was beaten by the three of them, barely escaping with its life. Now it foolishly claims to be the Golden Winged Roc... Whatever its identity, it’s always fake.
Fooling its followers is actually easy; you can’t generalize people’s intelligence. There are fools everywhere who believe just from seeing a chat record.
Its aim is clear—it’s looking for a suitable niche for survival.
Most of the domestic deities and Buddhas have already vanished, so whatever disguise it wears, it doesn’t need to worry about being pursued by the original.
Never mind claiming to be the Golden Winged Roc; even if it claimed to be the father of Superman, there’d be no issue.
The problem is finding believers.
The soil of faith domestically has been ruined. In the third round of special operations, all the Huaidao Sect forces were thoroughly purged, leaving no living space for these pretenders.
Now it can only trick these almost lifeless nomads in the Outer Dimension of the Thousand-Year Dynasty World, just barely eking out a living.
Having encountered it before, Li Mumu knew how tough this creature was. Without the help of Xia Yubing and Shen Qingxi, relying on her own strength alone, even successfully advanced, she could only hope for a stalemate without confidence to kill it.
But this time was different; this time, it had provoked the Navy.
The power of the Navy is incomparably greater than that of the Special Service Bureau.
The Tianmen City Spy Bureau, at most, handles local affairs within Tianmen City.
But the Northern Fleet of Ming Country rules over the entire Northern Sea within the first island chain.
When they strike, it’s with overwhelming force.
Li Mumu, being half a local, was carried through the whole operation by the pros, and apart from stopping Paladin from escaping, she barely exerted herself.
When Paladin wanted to flee, it was already too late. While it still slumbered in its lair, the Cloud Top Sky Lantern handling reconnaissance had already sealed off the airspace within a ten-mile radius, followed immediately by the Yu Heng launching its attacks.
If firearms can’t deal with magical creatures... it only means the firepower wasn’t enough.
If the firepower is sufficient, even God’s Whip would dance and sing, and the Flame Demon of Hell would become dainty and elegant.
Li Mumu watched as a bloody dragon leg, along with half the lair, was blasted into the sky by artillery fire.
Paladin let out a shrill howl, trembling as its ragged wings struggled to support its broken body from the smoke, fleeing desperately.
Li Mumu, now capable of walking on air, slightly exerted force under her feet, transforming into a streak of light to block Paladin’s path.
"Chu Jiang! We’ve had no grudges in the past, no enmity recently! Why go this far?"
Paladin was blocked, its eyes immediately turned blood-red, seeming ready to fight desperately, but the words it spoke sounded weak.
"Spare me a path to liberty, preserve some goodwill, and there will be rich rewards in the future!"
These refined words were fairly elegant, indicating it’s been reading quite a bit recently.
Li Mumu sneered, "Your intentions in spying on West Spring Mountain for days, do you think I can’t see through your plans?"
Paladin raged, "The People of Ming say those not of their kind must have different hearts. Aren’t you afraid that after cultivating into this monster form, once the crisis is over, they’ll turn on you?"
Not afraid, I can shapeshift into human form, still a girl.
That saying doesn’t apply to female demons.
Li Mumu kept these thoughts to herself, not bothering to argue.
If you were female, you’d likely have been recruited by now.
At that moment, far away in the Real World, in Qinghe Middle School’s classroom, Mu Yusheng, idly daydreaming, sneezed fiercely. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
This time, Paladin didn’t have such good luck.
Being blocked by Li Mumu sealed its fate.
Last time, someone saved it, but at a great cost.
No idea what fate the Great Monarch of Hell, Behemoth, met, but it likely wasn’t good.
Guiding Lady summoned too many allies to gang up on Him at the time.
An important indicator of whether these Western demons suffered losses is whether they behave modestly.
These creatures don’t know what restraint is. As long as they have some strength, they will act out.
If suddenly their gaze becomes clear, they understand human speech, and they start acting respectfully, it means they’ve truly learned their lesson.
Just like Paladin now.
Its gaze is very clear, but it absolutely should not have provoked the Marine Corps.
Li Mumu only tangles with it for a few moments, and the surrounding Cloud Top Sky Lanterns swarm in, releasing the beehive-style rockets called "Pear Blossom."
In an instant, the entire sky was covered in the fiery glow and smoke of explosions, truly resembling "a thousand trees and ten thousand pear blossoms blooming."
Under the bombardment of countless rockets, Paladin fell to the ground, and the wolfish Marine Corps pounced immediately.
In the blink of an eye, the colossal dragon was chopped into pieces by the garrison soldiers.
Company Commander Xu kicked open the dragon’s skull, used his bayonet to pry out the softly glowing Dragon Crystal inside, and tossed it to the descending Li Mumu, laughing, "Miss Chu, we’ve intruded on your domain for several days, consider this a token of apology!"
