A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 62 The Dragon Strikes, Fiery Dragon Fist

Zhou Derong patted his chest excitedly.

"I'll expand production immediately! Bring over all the tires you have."

"it is good."

The oil dealer nodded, and after the truck drove away, Zhou Derong took out two beautifully packaged bottles of wine from the box brought by the supplier.

"Fly!"

He raised the bottle.

"Old Liu! We're going to have a good drink today!"

The two were completely out of their minds. They sat by the stove, each with a bottle, and started chugging. Zhou Derong took a big gulp and felt completely lightheaded.

"Old Liu! Tell me, is this world fair or not? It's full of idiots!"

He pointed down the mountain, his voice growing louder and louder.

"Those who honestly do the work are always the dumbest! What about us?"

He picked up a wad of the banknotes he had just received and patted them down.

"That's what you call a smart person!"

Uncle Liu was fired up by what he said.

"Yes! Yes! Old Zhou is right!"

"That Lin family is nothing! In six months, I'll be the richest man in town!"

"Then we'll show those guys what we're made of!"

The two of them sat in the mountain valley, facing the moon, laughing wildly.

Trees fell one by one, the iron furnace burned day and night, billowing black smoke began to blot out the sun, and highly toxic chemical pollutants, like black venomous snakes, flowed recklessly along the mountainside into the depths of the back mountain.

In just a few days, the back mountain of Niushi Ridge has changed completely.

……

Guanzhen is a hilly area, characterized by streams connecting to rivers, rivers connecting to lakes, and reservoirs above the lakes.

And it happened in the early morning of a little over ten days ago.

Two small figures tumbled awkwardly into the grass.

Nia was upside down on the grass.

"Cough cough..."

She rubbed her head, which was covered in stars, and slowly got up.

"Micky! Micky, are you alright?"

The grass beside her stirred, and Miki poked her head out from among the leaves.

"Nya...where are we?"

The two little ones stood up and looked around blankly. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. A mountain stream flowed from a crevice in the rocks, winding its way through the woods. The pebbles at the bottom of the stream were smooth and translucent, and several small fish darted among the water plants.

Miki's eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow! Nia, look! This place is so beautiful!"

Nia sniffed.

The air was devoid of the smell of old books found in magic academies, nor did it carry the unpleasant odor of the dean's beard. Instead, it was filled with the scents of forest, sunshine, and water.

"Um!"

Nia nodded solemnly.

"Micky, we did it! We ran away from home!"

The two little ones held hands, hopping and skipping around in circles.

And so, deep within Cow Shit Ridge, the young dragon Nia and her best friend Miki began their idyllic life.

During the day, Nia transforms into a little dragon and catches fish in the stream, while Miki is responsible for starting the fire.

Although she was just a little girl, she was, after all, a top student at a prestigious magic academy, and could start a fire with a single fireball spell.

In the afternoon, the two little ones ran around in the mountains and forests, picking wild vegetables, eating lychees, and chasing butterflies.

Miki even transformed her little dress into wilderness survival gear, and the two little ones thought this place was a million times more fun than the magic academy.

……

That morning, a clanging sound of metal clashing woke Nia.

Nia crawled out of the grass nest, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stretched.

"Miki~ I'm hungry..." she called out in her childish voice.

Miki was still dozing in the grass nest, and mumbled a sleepy "hmm".

"I'll go roast the pheasant I caught yesterday..."

Nia, still half asleep, walked barefoot toward the stream, but as she walked... her little nose started to wrinkle.

"what?"

There seems to be a strange smell in the air, a... pungent and unpleasant smell?

Nia sneezed.

"Achoo!"

She rubbed her nose, deciding to ignore the smell and wash her face in the stream first. With her short legs, she ran to the stream.

"Achoo!"

Miki, who was following behind, sneezed.

"It smells...it stinks! How are we supposed to grill meat like this?!"

Miki held the pheasant she caught yesterday with a look of disgust.

At the same time... Nia's fair little feet stepped into a puddle of black, sticky stuff.

"Huh!! What is this... sticky."

Nia jumped up excitedly, her little skirt stained with black oil.

This is a dress her mother gave her.

The pretty little dress is now... dirty.

"Aaaaaah!!"

She shook her head in the direction of the water flow.

Black smoke was billowing in the distant sky.

Nia's vertical pupils began to contract as she looked into the depths of the stream.

Small fish, belly up, floated downstream.

died.

Nia's favorite food is the small fish she catches and grills every day.

All dead!

The two little dragon horns on Xiaolongnu's head had completely stood up. The dragon's instinct to protect its food had been fully aroused. What's more, she also had a bad temper when she woke up. It was bad enough that she was woken up, but now she couldn't even eat.

"Whoa~ Who is it...?"

Her soft, sweet voice was laced with anger.

"boom!"

Nia's body instantly expanded, completely liberated!

Its entire body was covered in dragon scales, and its wings spread out, stirring up a fierce wind.

A young dragon, over ten meters long, appeared by the stream.

"roar!!!"

The dragon's roar shook the mountains and forests.

Nia flapped her wings, soared into the sky, and swooped down in the direction of the black smoke.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the mountain valley.

Uncle Liu was carrying a new oil drum; today was another bountiful day.

He wiped his sweat, his face covered in black charcoal ash.

"Old Zhou! This batch is pretty good today!"

Zhou Derong limped over, a newly bought cigarette dangling from his mouth, his face also showing barely suppressed excitement.

"That's right! I'm telling you, just do it!"

He looked at the large iron furnace billowing black smoke and smiled smugly.

"Old Liu, in another month or so, we'll..."

"Thump!"

His words were interrupted by a muffled thud.

A flock of startled birds took flight from above the nearby mountains and forests.

They had just turned their gazes away.

A shadow plummeted from the sky.

Then came a loud bang.

"Bang!"

The dragon Nia landed heavily, creating a large crater.

"So it was you... who killed all my fish?"

Uncle Liu and Zhou Derong were completely stunned.

"A monster...a monster!!!"

Nia grabbed the furnace wall.

"Bang!"

Under the horrified gazes of Uncle Liu and Zhou Derong.

The scorching hot iron furnace was smashed in two.

"It stinks!"

Zhou Derong plopped down on the ground, his crotch soaked.

"Run!!!"

Uncle Liu realized what was happening and scrambled down the mountain.

Nia clapped her paws, but her throat still felt very uncomfortable; the pungent toxic fumes were choking her.

She raised her head, trying to avoid the stench and gather her strength.

"call!!!"

A burst of dragon flame shot out from her mouth, exploding into the sky.
