Cat Sage frowned at the approaching fighter planes. He extended his wings and accelerated, leaving a vortex of wind behind him.

The 12 fighter planes were hot on the trails of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon and their engines emitted thunderous howls. No matter how much Cat Sage accelerated, climbed or dived, he was unable to shake off the pursuers.

Roly Poly felt dizzy and nauseous after a series of high speed maneuvers by Cat Sage and said, “Stop, stop immediately. I am going to vomit.”

Cat Sage resumed his cruising speed and said grimly, “I can’t shake them off. Their speeds are faster than mine.”

“Ah?” Roly Poly was worried, “What shall we do? Are you able to defeat them?”

The Tri-headed Golden Dragon squinted his eyes and dived towards one of the fighter planes. The fighter plane shadowed his movements and dodged rapidly, giving him no chance to get near.

Both the dragon and the fighter planes were of different size and weight. The Tri-headed Golden Dragon belonged to the category of an airliner, which was sturdy and with greater horsepower. However, its speed and agility were much inferior to these supersonic fighter planes.

Cat Sage looked at their distances and felt perplexed. “No way, they are faster and more agile. At this distance, I am unable to attack them. I have no chance of defeating them in the air. Perhaps if I hide on land, I may be able to do sneak attacks.”

The Tri-headed Golden Dragon’s air combat capability was considered the highest in the animal kingdom. When faced with these specialized airborne-killing machines invented by the humans, the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was far inferior.

He was unable to catch up with the planes. The fireballs, acid, and frost wind spat from his mouth were unable to reach more than a few hundred meters. Moreover, they were easily evaded by the agile fighter planes.

The enemy was able to use cannons and missiles to hit him over a distance of a few hundred meters.

The strongest capability of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon was close combat. When faced with armored cars, tanks and armored soldiers, he could rely on his strong scale armor and bash them into smithereens.

He was entirely helpless against these supersonic fighter planes as he was unable to close in and engage in close combat.

Roly Poly was scared stiff and he said, “What are we going to do? Once we hide on land, aren’t we unable to escape? Yes, where is Catherine? Can’t she make them fall asleep?”

Catherine shook her head. “It is too far and I am too small. I will need to remove my invisibility. They aren’t able to see me clearly at this distance.”

“I can’t be a flying target for them.” Cat Sage said, “If I don’t make a decision, they will open fire.”

Roly Poly trembled and said, “What are we going to do? What are we going to do? We will lose if we fight and landing on ground is even more dangerous.”

As Roly Poly was hesitating, Catherine slapped his head and chided, “Good for nothing.” She said fiercely to Cat Sage, “Let’s land, Sage. We will lose in the air combat, landing on ground is our only option.”

Cat Sage nodded and abruptly decelerated. He plummeted like a huge stone towards the ground.

The 12 fighter planes immediately swerved sharply and chased after Cat Sage.

The loudspeakers on the fighter planes broadcast a warning, “Stop your descent, stop your descent immediately. We will open fire.”

At such a high altitude and speed, the broadcast was muffled. Cat Sage would have ignored it even if he heard it. He flapped his wings and accelerated towards the ground.

The 12 fighter planes nose-dived and were very close to the ground when they opened fire. Millions of metal bullets shot towards the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

The large body became an excellent target. The scale armor was shredded along with the flesh underneath. The Tri-headed Golden Dragon bellowed in pain while fanning its wings to accelerate and dodge the attacks of the fighter planes.

The armor, hide and bone structure of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon were sturdy. After numerous evasions, he crash-landed into the forested mountains. After twisting his body, he transformed into a tiger.

The thermal imaging of the Tri-headed Golden Dragon disappeared from their screens and the 12 fighter planes circled for a while and fired rockets into the forests below.

In the bellowing smoke and fiery flames, Cat Sage, in the guise of a tiger, held Roly Poly and Catherine in his mouth and fled deep into the forest.

As they were heaving in relief, the sky rang with multiple explosions.

The 12 fighter planes followed their trails and fired at them blindly with cannons and rockets.

Bam! The concussion from the rocket explosions hit the tiger and he flew in the air and crashed on top of the trees, feeling dizzy from the great impact.

“We can’t go on like this. They must have other ways to track us.” Cat Sage gritted his teeth and said, “Perhaps it is a tracking superpower. Let me cover your escape.”

Catherine said, “Sage, you will die.”

Roly Poly was stunned and looked at Cat Sage. “Hey, do not let your imagination run wild. Even if you cover us, how far can we run? Let’s escape together!”

“You can do it.” Cat Sage smiled and tossed both cats from his mouth. After a ferocious roar, he transformed back into the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

“Sage!” Catherine and Roly Poly looked dejectedly at the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

The great dragon swung its tail and charged into the sky while bellowing deeply. “Escape immediately. Go to Zhao Yao, he will protect you.”

The 12 fighter planes circled high in the sky and fired a salvo of 12 missiles towards the Tri-headed Golden Dragon.

At this moment, the entire world became still. The wind stopped howling and the clouds froze in the sky. The golden dragon opened its jaws as though it was bellowing.

The 12 fighter planes and their missiles froze in mid-air like worms stuck on amber.
