Chapter 95: Chapter 78 When It's Time to Take Action

As the female Fire Dragon touched down, the air around gradually became scorching hot.

Chen Qi's palms began to sweat.

He had made at least five strategy plans for Dragon Nest Island.

But it was his first time seeing a female Fire Dragon enter a frenzied state the moment they met.

In its frenzied state, the female Fire Dragon would use powerful skills like the Fire Dragon's Breath, Dragon Fall, and Shredding Bite more frequently.

Normally, it was only just before leaving Dragon Nest Island that a Fire Dragon would enter a brief frenzy.

A frenzied female Fire Dragon was at least twice as strong as when in its normal state.

The female Fire Dragon inhaled the air around violently into its abdomen before lifting its head sharply, and fiery flames gushed out from its throat.

Fire Dragon's Breath!

This was the Fire Dragon's most formidable move, and it was an attack in its frenzied state!

It required a strong tank to withstand this blow.

"Deep Sea Water Elf, come out."

Chen Qi picked up his backpack card.

As a monster with the water attribute hidden by Deep Sea Hunters, their bodies could completely resist the breath of a Fire Dragon.

"Deep Sea Water Elf."

Chen Qi looked towards the open backpack card, towards them.

All of them had (=.=) expressions, showing no reaction.

They were still sleeping!

"Stop sleeping, it's time to wake up."

Chen Qi forcefully removed the seven Deep Sea Water Elves from the backpack card and, like tossing Poké Balls, hurled them forward.

"(O O)!"

The eyes of the Deep Sea Water Elves suddenly bulged and they gathered together to form a wall of water bubbles.

The Fire Dragon's breath sprayed fiercely onto them.

"Wah wah wah!"

The bodies of the Deep Sea Water Elves trembled violently, screaming in agony. If this continued, they felt as if they were going to become Boiling Water Elves.

The scalding flames slowly dissipated.

Well done!

Chen Qi crouched down, avoiding the female Fire Dragon's breath of fire.

After a round of the Fire Dragon's Breath, the female Fire Dragon, due to its excessive body temperature, needed at least a minute to catch its breath.

Wah wah wah, the seven pitiful Boiling Water Elves wanted to hug Chen Qi for comfort.

Too hot... Chen Qi hugged them briefly, took out a water bottle, took a sip, and then looked around at the devastation.

Thirteen people suffered severe injuries due to ineffective defenses.

Five Hunters, with severe burns all over their bodies, lost the ability to fight and were in urgent need of medical attention.

Three cowardly Hunters, overcome by fear, chose to leave the battlefield.

"The situation doesn't look good."

Why enter a frenzy now? Could it have been the aphrodisiac powder from before?

Chen Qi observed the female Fire Dragon in front of him and glanced behind him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the distance, Little Red Riding Hood, after getting up, gathered blood spears and started fighting the male Fire Dragon.

The two of them had fought to a place out of sight.

Little Red Riding Hood had no dragon blood, and the aphrodisiac powder only served to taunt, just as humans wouldn't be attracted to small animals dressed in cool, sexy clothes.

There must be another reason...

Chen Qi looked at the female Fire Dragon.

Its eyes were shedding blood-red tears, and every scale seemed to be burdened with heaviness.

Was it sick?

Chen Qi thought subconsciously.

In Dragon Nest Island, indeed there was a method involving healing dragons that led to successful completion.

And at this moment, there was a noise from behind him on the rocky terrain.

Baron, covered in blood, descended from the rocks, pulled out a Potion from underneath his clothes, and fiercely plunged it into his vein.

"That really hurts, my bones almost shattered."

At that moment, the people scared by the Fire Dragon stepped back and cursed.

Baron had a cold gaze. He paid no mind to what others were saying and instead focused his attention on Chen Qi:

"Friend, what kind of pet is this? It can withstand a Fire Dragon's attack."

"Water Elf."

Chen Qi kneaded the Water Elf as if it was dough.

Deep Sea Water Elves were several times stronger than regular Water Elves, but they looked highly similar in appearance.

Baron talked as he held his greatsword and walked to the forefront of the team:

"Honestly, Beast Tamers in Shell Country are pitifully scarce. It's my first time seeing a Water Elf, and there are as many as seven of them."

Chen Qi became even more wary of Baron.

There were surely steadier methods to defeat the Fire Dragon.

Yet, Baron had dragged them all into the battle with the Fire Dragon, plunging them into difficulty.

"Friend, I simply want to achieve victory."

Baron, sensing what others were thinking, spoke with a smile:

"Folks, we must take control of the frenzied female Fire Dragon before the female pirate of the Blood Blade Pirate Group dies, or else, we will be caught between two Fire Dragons."

The people shook their heads. Although they were exceedingly dissatisfied with Baron's unilateral decision to start the battle, they could only swallow their grievances.

Their only choice now was to join forces with Baron and confront the frenzied female Fire Dragon.

Seizing the moment as the female Fire Dragon caught its breath, everyone took out their firearms and large melee weapons, and like a sudden downpour, crazily fired upon the female Fire Dragon.

Ratatatata!

Blades, bullets, fists kept raining down on the scales of the female Fire Dragon!

Chen Qi hid behind the female Fire Dragon, using a pistol to attack its back.

At the cost of ten Hunters getting injured.

Finally, under the firepower of fifty people, the female Fire Dragon finally felt the pain, flapped its wings, attempting to fly into the sky, to use the skill Fire Dragon Fall!

Baron seized the opportunity and shouted at his team:

"This is it! Move!

"Lock it down!"

In that moment, another seven people from the Red Crystal Hunter Group pulled out thick, black chains.

They threw the chains at the female Fire Dragon, wrapping around the Dragon's legs, neck, wings...

Then they forcefully smashed the heads of the chains into the ground, forcefully restraining the female Fire Dragon on the floor!

"Pretty professional."

Chen Qi looked at the chains.

The chains they used were a set of Transcendent relics from a C-level crack, capable of temporarily suppressing large creatures.

At this moment, the entire Red Crystal Hunter Group shouted in unison.

A multitude of dark curses appeared on the chains.

Boom!

In an instant, the fire dragon was pressed down by an invisible force, its massive body sinking into the ground.

"Well-prepared, aren't you."

Chen Qi looked toward Baron.

What followed surpassed their expectations.

After successfully controlling the fire dragon, Baron took out a Transcendent potion as thick as an arm from his backpack card.

Then, like a seasoned bullfighter, he leapt onto the head of the female fire dragon, legs clamped around its head.

Baron gritted his teeth, bent down, and with his burly hands, he forcefully pried open the female fire dragon's mouth.

He intended to toss the green potion into the female fire dragon's mouth.

However, at that moment, the fire dragon's sharp teeth snapped shut fiercely.

Baron's right arm was severely wounded by the dragon's teeth; fresh blood splattered everywhere.

"Success."

In the final moment, Baron pulled out his hand, managing to throw the potion into the female fire dragon's mouth!

This potion, which they had spent a substantial amount of money to acquire, was specially designed!

It was enough to force the fire dragon into a deep sleep!

All that remained was to wait.

However, his relief did not last a second.

The female fire dragon broke free from the chains, and its scales trembled violently.

"Pah!"

The next second, the fire dragon spit out the green potion onto Baron's face.

"..."

Baron wiped the green liquid from his face and stood there, dumbfounded.

"It failed."

Chen Qi shook his head.

It was indeed possible to force the female fire dragon to swallow the potion using such a violent method.

But in the final moment, Baron made a mistake; he wanted to save his hand.

As a result, he didn't deliver the potion down her throat but merely dropped it on her tongue.

The significant failure left the entire Red Crystal Hunter Group frozen in place, unsure of what to do next.

The chains just used were Transcendent relics, and they couldn't use them a second time. Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The female fire dragon shaked its head and flapped its wings, with hot flames once again bursting from its scales.

Now, it was the fire dragon's turn.

The fire dragon began to regulate its breathing.

The moment it finished regulating, it would unleash another powerful breath of fire.

Several hunters risked falling into the lava, jumping constantly down from the current platform.

Out of the original team of fifty-three, twenty had already fled the battlefield.

Dragons after all are dragons; even those from a D-level crack are not creatures ordinary hunters can easily defeat.

The remaining hunters looked at the weapons in their hands.

If they too fled, the whole Hunter Group would collapse instantly.

Now, all they could do was trust that Baron could defeat the female fire dragon before them.

"The losses are heavy; at this rate, we'll all eventually become food for the fire dragon."

Chen Qi surveyed the surroundings.

Many had lost the will to fight.

If things continued like this, even surviving would be in question.

Fear, blame, anger, helplessness, and sadness began to spread like a tide.

Baron's hair was disheveled as he searched through his backpack card.

Chen Qi looked at Baron's backpack card.

Though it failed, the green potion just now was a viable item.

If there was a second green potion...

As a Chef, he had a method to deliver the potion into the fire dragon's mouth.

Baron took out a second green potion from the backpack card and held it in his hand.

He lifted his head and stared blankly at the female fire dragon, a feeling of helplessness pervading his body.

Although there was one more potion, he had no way to administer it into the fire dragon's mouth again.

If things continued this way, they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Chen Qi walked over to Baron:

"Baron."

Baron had already lost his initial domineering and arrogance, now looking as dejected as a beaten dog:

"What do you want?"

Chen Qi said:

"I have a method that can get the potion into the fire dragon's stomach."

As he spoke, the entire Hunter Group fell into a brief silence.

Under normal circumstances, nobody would believe the words of a First Order Hunter.

But now, they had no choice.

Even though it was just the suggestion of a First Order Hunter, it still caused quite a stir.

"What?"

Baron blinked and looked incredulously at Chen Qi beside him.

What a joke.

Under normal circumstances, within a D-level crack, a First Order Hunter had no right to speak.

The female fire dragon was already in a frenzy; if they didn't act now...

Once the fight with Little Red Riding Hood was over, they could very well face a doubles match.

Chen Qi ignored the disdainful look:

"Of course, there's a condition. Baron, if you want my help to defeat the fire dragon, in return, you must tell us your real purpose for coming to this crack.

What exactly happened to you here ten years ago?"

Baron's eye twitched, and he froze.

He was the most experienced Hunter here.

The other party was not only speaking out of turn but was also attempting to dig into his weaknesses.
