I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 36 - Discovering A Dragon!

“Hoh? Soldiers? And are those guides with them? No, more like researchers...”

Despite being a significant distance away, Louie’s senses could pick up on the features of the new visitors as they approached.

It was a small group of people, some of whom were armed to the teeth. He could detect about fifteen of them. About two-thirds were combatants, and the remainder seemed to just plod along at their own pace. They trudged slowly through the forest, and from time to time the unarmed members of the group would crouch down for a closer look at some plant or animal before taking a photograph.

“If it’s just an exploration then why the need for soldiers?”

Louie felt slightly puzzled over this state of affairs.

Indeed there were many parts of the world that anthropologists, ecologists, and zoologists would love to visit, and the Amazon jungle was one of these scientific hotbeds. Many parts of it remained untouched by modern civilization and as such there were many mysteries within it that were yet to be revealed. Naturally, it held a powerful allure for those of the biological sciences, but ideally, they should have been accompanied by local guides and not soldiers.

Louie felt a sense of alarm creep up his spine.

‘Have I perchance been discovered somehow? In that case, would this be a reconnaissance party? What shitty luck!'

Louie was sure that there were still many undiscovered species in the world. That said, he had only lived on Earth as a dragon for a few days, and he had never left the Amazon jungle. Who could possibly be so bored as to watch the forest day and night for any potential disturbance and then send a search party soon after?

The Amazon jungle was absolutely huge - about half the landmass of China. It was crazy to think that someone had spent resources poring through all the satellite footage of the area before finding a strange lizard.

‘But this is also a chance for me to get in touch with modern humans. Perhaps it might prove to be quite fruitful...’

Louie’s eyes flashed with excitement.

As he had not yet mastered Ultimate Transformation, he could not yet sneak into human society. His large frame prevented him from doing so. Unless he transformed into a demigod again, he would be no match against human technology as well. Perhaps in the future, he would, but for now, it was impossible.

Given that he was the only one on Earth with extraordinary powers, he could set aside some of his worries. Although scientific understanding had led to some impressive achievements, the lack of any true magic system meant he had an advantage over Earthlings in some respects.

‘Not to mention, I don’t need to make a permanent positioning device on the Earth’s side. According to the Intelligent Brain, I can simply leave Earth anytime and return to the world of San Soliel. This is simply the best escape tool!’

With this confidence, Louie became bolder. Even if humans launched nuclear weapons, as long as he left Earth for San Soliel before it detonated, he could escape. Nuclea
