A rumbling sound came from underground, and the earth began to bulge and move rapidly!
"Watch your step, everyone spread out! Throw grenades at the cracks!"
Just then, the bulging mound stopped in the center of the crowd, and then, as if on cue, burst out of the ground!
The moment it burst out, Old Horn swung its body to the right, pressing its great horns and head to the ground, sweeping in a fan-like motion! Like a giant hand clearing toy soldiers from a sandbox, its battering ram-like tail plowed a huge chasm in the earth!
This time it wasn't a Dragon Ride, it was a 360-degree Thomas full spin!
Tony dodged a jeep sent flying by Old Horn's tail with a sidestep, then slowly flew to a small hill and sat down, watching the giant dragon below, which seemed to be playing a game effortlessly. He opened his mouth and said, "Jarvis, help me take some photos and videos and store them on my private server. I want to keep them."
"Tony, don't tell anyone about Old Horn yet."
Tony said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, am I that kind of person? It's just that such a cool scene must be commemorated!"
"Whatever you want. When I can ride the wind later, I'll take you flying wherever you want. Oh, by the way, come down, I have a gift for you."
A gift? Tony flew down, full of doubt.
He pouted as he looked at the now quiet battlefield—it was simply a massacre. Those who weren't dead by now were probably playing dead.
As he got closer, he saw Watson, who had already jumped off Old Horn's back, stepping on a person.
Old enemies meeting again, their eyes burned with hatred!
Tony opened his face mask and squatted down, looking at Raza, saying, "I thought you died in the last explosion. I didn't expect you to be alive, but it's all the same." Just as Tony aimed his repulsor ray at him, he suddenly thought of something, put his hand down, and said, "I'm not the one who should kill you."
"You want to take him to Yinsen?"
Tony nodded and said, "That's right, and those persecuted civilians."
Watson nodded and said, "Then you carry him over yourself. He stinks too much."
"---Can't you let that big guy carry him over?"
"Old Horn also finds him smelly."
Tony rolled his eyes after hearing that, then looked around and found a bundle of nylon rope on a deformed jeep. As Tony was tying Raza up, Watson, carrying his greatsword, walked over to a overturned tank nearby.
Holy crap!
Watson looked at the disappearing red dot on the mini-map and nodded in satisfaction, then drew his greatsword, which pulsed with fire and lightning.
Just as Watson walked up to the next person playing dead, Tony said, "You don't have to do this, Great Detective, he's already—"
Before Tony could finish his sentence, he instantly put on his face mask.
Da da da!
Ding dang dang!
A burst of bullets hit Tony. He turned around, dealt with the enemy with a repulsor ray, and said, "I take it back. These damn idiots."
Watson shrugged, just about to make a move, when the person playing dead on the ground suddenly scurried away like a monkey, then, after a few steps, bumped into Old Horn's foot with a thud.
Even the bound Raza couldn't bear to watch, lowering his head and muttering something.
After dealing with the remaining enemies, Watson recalled Old Horn and released Big Flower. Tony asked with a puzzled expression, "Why don't you use that big guy to fly?"
Watson shrugged and said, "Old Horn likes to live underground, so he loves digging holes, not flying."
"---"
A dragon that can't fly? Did the legends get it wrong?
Watson sat on Big Flower and thought to himself: System, tally experience points.
"[Statistics show a total of 289 Freedom Fighters killed, Experience +2890! Freedom Fighter Leaders x 3, Experience +150!]"
"[Current Level: 13, Current Experience (710/2500)."
]
"[Do you wish to submit the Free Mission?]"
Submit.
"[Free Mission: Never Learn Your Lesson."
After this, no Freedom Fighter will dare to disrespect you, unless they want to die.
Mission Progress: Kill Freedom Fighters (292/X)
Mission Status: Over-completed.
Mission Reward: Experience Gift Pack x 1, Elder Dragon Summoning Great Wheel x 1.]"
Experience Gift Pack? Elder Dragon Great Wheel? These were all good things that had never appeared before, open them all!
"[Congratulations, Host, you have gained 3000 experience! Current Level: 14, Current Experience (1210/3000).]"
"[Please manually start the Summoning Great Wheel, Host!]"
A wheel with several Elder Dragon zones appeared before Watson's eyes: Azure Rathalos, Pink Rathian, Great Jagras, Radobaan, etc., making Watson's eyes light up! Most importantly, in a very small area, there appeared a being that was not an Elder Dragon! Zorah Magdaros!
Isn't this the Elder Dragon that broke the record for the largest size?! The one that stands 200 meters tall?!
It seems there are also official Capcom data stating it's over 700 meters tall and two kilometers long---Watson didn't know what definition the system was using here. He looked closely, and when he tapped it with his finger, there was even an introduction!
"[Aged Zorah Magdaros (Incomplete): Having lost its magma power due to the absence of a magma core, its body has become a dormant volcano. Its size is the smallest among adult Zorah Magdaros: 200 meters tall, 300 meters long. (Can be nurtured with a magma core)]"
Upon seeing this, Watson finally understood why Zorah Magdaros appeared on the Elder Dragon Great Wheel. So it was a weakling dragon?
Aged, incomplete, and the smallest in size.
But it's no problem for me! Is giving you Mount Fuji to nurture enough? I'll give you volume expansion packs, let you grow dozens of times bigger in minutes~ As for being aged, who knows if you'll still be alive when I die---Thinking this, Watson clicked the start button.
The great wheel began to spin rapidly, and Watson stared intently at that tiny area, watching the pointer pass by again and again.
Gradually, the wheel began to slow down. It was still a short distance from Zorah Magdaros, currently in the Azure Rathalos zone.
"Faster, just a little bit more!"
Because he hadn't opened communication, Tony watched Watson sitting on Big Flower, muttering something incomprehensible.
"It's here!! It's here, hahaha! Zorah!" Watson sat on Big Flower, laughing heartily.
"Great Detective, did you have a stroke?"
"Get lost, you're the one who had a stroke---"
"[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained an Elder Bazelgeuse (100 meters), already stored in the Monster Space.]"
"---What did you say?"
Watson suddenly turned his head and carefully checked the great wheel. The pointer had gone a little too far---after it was, Bazelgeuse.
This surprise---it's really---makes one both hate and love it!
Tony suddenly felt a little cold for some reason. Didn't his suit have a climate control system?
Soon, the two returned to Yinsen and the others, who were all hiding inside a factory.
Yinsen looked at Tony and Watson returning and immediately had the people inside come out. He trusted them; there should be no danger nearby.
Tony tugged the rope in his hand, throwing a person in front of Yinsen and saying, "Yinsen, come see our old friend."
