Dragon Tamer

“First dig tunnels, then build towers; third construct highways to suppress the dragon veins.” “In ancient times there was the Imperial Observatory; today there is the Dragon-Slaying Squad. Even stones that look like humans must be slain.” “Dragons are not myths; they are state secrets.” Geology PhD Lu Chenzhou discovers a “heartbeat stone” in a coal mine in Shanxi and is drawn into an unacknowledged secret organization—the Dragon-Slaying Squad. Originating from the ancient Imperial Observatory, this squad’s duty is to sever mutated dragon veins and guard the terrain. Every national project—tunnels, towers, highways—may be a dragon-suppression operation. As the Nine-Purple Fire Fortune begins, dormant dragon veins are awakening. Lu Chenzhou must combine geological knowledge with millennia-old secret arts to protect the surging power beneath the land. What he doesn’t know is—dragons are real.
