A massive white light appeared in the square.
Roar! A tremendous roar echoed through the confined space like muffled thunder!
Curved horns, several meters long, pointed upwards, giant wings stretching nearly 20 meters, and a body practically exploding with muscular lines!
The tip of its thick tail even had a massive tail club!
Natasha, standing beside Master Jiao's thick leg, was dumbfounded. Even Watson was somewhat shocked!
Master Jiao's deterrent power was bone-chilling!
The moment the Horned Dragon appeared.
The Nine Realms - Asgard.
In the palace of Valhalla, Odin, the All-Father, was seated on his throne, eyes closed, listening to his son Thor report (boast) about his battle achievements. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a divine light shooting forth, and muttered, "A dragon? Why? Why would a dragon appear in Midgard?"
"Father? Father?! What are you saying, a dragon?" Thor looked at his father, puzzled.
"Hmm?" Odin, his thoughts interrupted by Thor's call, looked at his son, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright, Thor, I already know about your achievements this time. You may go now. I need to speak with your mother about something."
Thor nodded at his father and said, "Alright, Father."
Odin shook his head as he watched Thor's retreating figure, then closed his eyes again. A voice appeared in the mind of Heimdall, guardian of the Bifrost: "Heimdall, I need you to keep an eye on Midgard and find the trace of a dragon."
"A dragon? Yes, Your Majesty." Although he was puzzled, as dragons were creatures of legend, not seen for thousands of years, he immediately carried out the king's command.
Heimdall's eyes burst forth with starlight-like divine light, shooting straight towards Earth!
---Himalayan Mountains.
A bald woman sitting atop a mountain peak also opened her eyes, uttering a puzzled sound: "An unfamiliar power I've never seen before? Mordo, are you there?"
A golden halo appeared behind the bald woman, and a man with a Chinese face stepped out, saying, "Respected Sorcerer Supreme, is there something you need?"
"An unfamiliar power has appeared in New York, America. I cannot discern if this power is good or evil. Mordo, please help me keep an eye on it."
This woman was none other than the Earth's protector, the Sorcerer Supreme - Ancient One!

"This is—" Natasha looked at the behemoth before her, far more impactful than the monster that only released lightning.
And looking at its standard form, big horns, wings, and tail, Natasha finally remembered this legendary creature: "This is a dragon!! A legendary dragon?!" Natasha stared with wide, beautiful eyes at the man beside her.
"That's right, he is a dragon. Alright, let's get out of here first." With that, Watson scooped up Natasha, jumped onto the Horned Dragon's back, settled Natasha in the saddle, and positioned himself in front of her. He then opened his mouth and said, "Master Jiao! It's up to you. Let's get out of here."
Roar!!!
Master Jiao charged directly towards a wall. Its massive horns thrust forward, and with the help of its huge claw-wings on either side, it began to furiously dig.
Feeling the violent tremors, Natasha hugged Watson tightly, a little puzzled. Dragons—weren't they supposed to fly in the sky? She'd never heard of a dragon that could dig—rumble rumble!!
With its large horns, tusks, and giant claw-wings, it dug forward more than ten meters in just a few seconds, and its speed was getting faster and faster!

At this moment, Watson, while fending off flying debris and sand, thought about Baron Strucker's words: if the entire underground collapsed, how would he get their bodies? Thinking this, Watson opened his ecological map.
He quickly found it! About 1 kilometer to the west underground, there was a small excavated space, and it showed seven or eight red light spots inside!
With a thought, he patted Master Jiao, who was still digging, and said, "Master Jiao, let's make a turn and go visit some 'good friends' to the west!"
Roar!
Master Jiao began digging straight to the west.
00:10
Feeling that it was about to explode, Watson quickly took off his helmet, turned and kissed Natasha, then placed the helmet on Natasha's head: "Darling, remember to duck under me in a bit!"
Just as the two had adjusted their positions.
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of violent explosions filled their ears, and the tunnel they had dug out behind them began to collapse!
At this moment, a bright light appeared behind them, followed by a surge of flames that broke through the newly collapsed tunnel, rushing straight towards Master Jiao.
The flames instantly caught up to them, filling the entire tunnel!
Aside from a shockwave, the flames had no effect on them. Watson and Natasha were protected by the Fire Dragon armor, and as for Master Jiao? Fire was a resistance attribute for Master Jiao, essentially having no effect!
---In the small western space at this time.
Two drilling engineering vehicles were parked there!
A man sitting on a huge drill bit lit a cigarette, tightened the gun strapped to his back, and looked at his companions, saying, "Guys, we're feeling the tremors now, so we need to set off too. We can't delay Baron Strucker's important business."
Just as everyone was preparing to get in the vehicles, a crack suddenly appeared in the reinforced panel above their heads, and some sand and dirt fell with the vibrations.
"What's going on? Shouldn't the tremors stop after a while? Don't you guys feel—it seems like the tremors are getting closer? This distance shouldn't affect us." One of them asked, puzzled.
Crack...
Crack crack...
"Look! The wall above is cracking!! Get in the vehicles quickly! We might be affected here, hurry—"
Bang~!!!!
With a loud bang, a huge head appeared above everyone's heads!
"Mon—monster, monster!!! Shoot quickly!! Kill it!!!"
Tat tat tat!!
Unfortunately, the bullets, carrying immense kinetic energy, at most helped Master Jiao knock off some dust from its face.
Roar!!!! The massive roar made several people cover their ears in pain and collapse to the ground.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, Master Jiao's two huge claws also extended out of the wall, and then its entire dragon body burst out of the ground, charging at the people below in a 'dragon charge'!
One drilling engineering vehicle was impaled by its huge horn and then flung into the corner of the wall! Another was crushed into scrap metal by Master Jiao with a body slam!
Thump thump~
When Watson jumped down with Natasha, the scene was already a mess. Seeing the drilling engineering vehicles in the corner and overturned on the ground, Watson finally understood how they planned to 'collect their bodies'.
And—he also gained an intuitive understanding of Master Jiao's attack power
