This book is the third one I have read on Shuida. This book has a really strong ancient flavor. "Dragon's Blood" is also known as "The Adoptive Father". The name "The Adoptive Father" made me feel taboo. I was attracted by the name and seeing that the author was a water major, I felt that there should be no mistakes. In the end, I was immersed in the plot. Among the articles written by Shui Da, very few people have actually read this book. Let me briefly summarize it first. Plot structure: The story begins in the summer of 1992. The mercenary Shan Ming was injured and lost while performing a mission on the China-Myanmar border. He picked up a Chinese boy Shen Changze who was lost in a plane crash. After Shan Ming brought him back, he discovered that Shen Changze's identity was closely connected with the "National Weapons" plan, and the mercenary group to which Shan Ming belonged was also plunged into many crises. As the story develops, Shen Changze, under the strict training of Shan Ming (I feel that Shen Changze took care of Shan Ming more often, and Shan Ming felt more like the "son"), grew from an innocent true wife to a sinister and powerful mercenary. After the two experienced a series of incidents such as betrayal and imprisonment, their relationship gradually changed, and they were ultimately dependent on each other for life and death. Characterization: Shan Ming is a cold-hearted (only in front of outsiders) mercenary. Although he despises Shen Changze, he cultivates him into a top warrior. Shen Changze changed from a cute crybaby to a dragon-blooded man with overwhelming desire for dominance. He went from being dependent on Shan Ming to having a love-hate relationship, and finally understood his own feelings. The two have distinct images, and the changes in character and emotional entanglements are very attractive. Fusion of Elements: The novel combines elements of military adventure and fantasy. There are intense and exciting military plots such as virgin forest missions and international power games, as well as supernatural settings such as experiments on dragon-blooded people and "human-animal transformation". The film is full of imagination with a hail of bullets and fantastic abilities interspersed with each other.
