Lu Yuan reacted extremely quickly.

Upon noticing movement at the bottom of the lake, they immediately retreated several steps until they reached a relatively safe distance before stopping.

Look up.

A giant black python, dozens of meters thick, appeared in the lake. Its smooth, glistening scales shimmered in the moonlight, and the part above the water was more than ten meters long.

"This is... a black dragon!"

"Black Dragon Flood Dragon?"

Hearing Mu Ruxing's exclamation, Lu Yuan was equally surprised.

The Black Dragon is a high-level pet beast!

It is said that its cubs were born at the level of Xuanzhen Rank 8 or above. How could they appear near Yunlei City?

“Young Master Lu, the Black Dragon Flood Dragon is a high-level snake-type demon beast. If your Red Scale Python can devour its elixir, its strength will definitely increase!” Mu Ruxing suggested to Lu Yuan.

Both the jiao (蛟) and the python (蟒) share the same origin, having evolved from snakes.

But for a python to become a jiao (a mythical dragon), it needs not only opportunity, but also rigorous and dangerous trials to successfully transform.

Among them, the most direct method.

It was about finding and consuming the elixir of immortality from dragons.

Unfortunately, the Sky Python had already reached the Heavenly Evolution level, while the black dragon in front of them was clearly still a cub, with a strength level of only the ninth level of the Profound Truth realm.

Even if the monstrous python were to devour the black dragon's elixir, the benefits would be minimal.

However, if the Red Scale Python can devour its elixir, even if it cannot transform into a dragon, its strength will be greatly enhanced!

Lu Yuan understood this as well, and his gaze toward the black dragon grew even more intense.

"Young Master Lu, wait a moment in the distance, I'll go get its elixir for you right now!"

"etc!"

Mu Ruxing was about to summon the monstrous python when Lu Yuan stopped her.

He turned back in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yuan shook his head. "You stay back and watch. If I can't defeat this black dragon, then it's not too late for you to make your move."

"Young Master Lu, are you kidding me?"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxing was extremely shocked.

After observing for a day, he determined that neither of Lu Yuan's two beasts were above the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm. What made him think they could defeat the Black Dragon Flood Dragon, which was at the ninth level of the Profound Realm?!

Even though the Red Scale Python has awakened three types of talents and its combat power is higher than that of other beast tamers of the same level, there is still a full ten levels difference between the two!

Not to mention, they also have to fight against opponents of higher levels!

This is simply impossible!

However.

Lu Yuan was clearly not joking.

He had already walked up to Chi Lin and Xiao Yi and was seriously assigning them combat tasks.

“Red Scales will be the main attacker, and Little Yi will provide support. The level difference between you and Black Dragon is quite large, so you can't fight head-on. You have to use a roundabout approach.”

The difference is not just a little bit.

That's a lot!

Mu Ruxing complained inwardly, wanting to speak up and persuade him, but Lu Yuan simply ignored her.

"Alright! It's getting late, let's finish this quickly!"

After assigning the combat missions, Lu Yuan gave the order.

"Red Scales, Little Yi, go!"

"Eee!"

"Hiss~"

Upon receiving the order, Chi Lin charged towards the Black Dragon Jiao, with Xiao Yi following closely behind at a certain distance.

Neither of the two little ones showed the slightest sign of fear.

The black dragon, fearing the terrifying aura emanating from Mu Ruxing, was cautiously observing when it saw two Xuanzhen-level beast cubs daring to provoke it. It immediately felt slighted and insulted.

With a roar, the black dragon lunged at the red scales with its two sharp claws.

Red Scale couldn't dodge in time, and several deep wounds were instantly torn into its body, with thick blood flowing all over the ground.

"roar!"

Upon seeing blood, the black dragon became unusually excited.

But just as it let out an excited roar, a golden light enveloped the crimson scales, and the wound that had been so deep that the bone was visible was completely healed in just a few breaths.

This shocked not only the Black Dragon, but also Mu Ruxing, who was preparing to make a move from behind!

He stared blankly at Xiao Yi.

It was Chi Lin who was fighting the monsters all day. This was the first time he had seen this humanoid elf use a skill, but he didn't expect it to be a healing skill!

Moreover, to be able to heal such a terrible wound in such a short time, one's talent level must be quite high!

Lu Yuan remained indifferent.

In order to improve Xiao Yi's talent level, he spent a lot of money to exchange for two drops of the essence blood of a nature spirit.

Now, Xiao Yi's talent level has evolved to the Supreme level!

Let alone just a few scratches, even a fatal wound can be saved!

"Crimson Scale, awaken the power of the Primal Stone, unleash Frenzied Rock Smash!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the black dragon was distracted, Lu Yuan immediately issued a new order.

The next moment, a faint brown halo emanated from the red scales.

As the spiritual energy within its body surged wildly, the surrounding rubble immediately flew and gathered towards the black dragon.

However, the difference in their levels was too great, and the attack of the Frenzied Rock Collapse could not break through the Black Dragon's defense at all, instead completely enraging it.

The black dragon raised its sharp claws and kept scratching at the red scales.

Chi Lin dodged quickly, but due to the vast difference in strength, new wounds continued to appear on her body.

However, Xiao Yi will soon use her skill to heal and restore her.

After several rounds, the Black Dragon Flood Dragon went completely mad!

In its eyes, the red-scaled creature was nothing more than a tiny insect, which it could easily crush with a mere lift of its claw.

But now, despite its efforts, the little worm is still jumping around in front of it.

What's most infuriating is...

Every time it was about to kill the little worm, the wounds would heal, and the little worm would dart around in front of it again, lively and energetic.

This is practically a provocation against its dignity as a dragon!

The black dragon's eyes turned blood red, and it actually chased after the red scales as it crawled out of the lake, its attacks becoming even more intense and ferocious!

Red Scale was forced to retreat steadily, and could only keep going backward.

Mu Ruxing couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to Lu Yuan, saying, "Young Master Lu, the difference in strength between the Crimson Scale and the Black Dragon Flood Dragon is too great. If this continues, it will die. Let's send the Sky-Raging Python instead!"

However, Lu Yuan simply smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, we'll be able to close the net soon."

"What?"

Mu Ruxing looked puzzled.

Just then.

A loud bang came from the direction where Chi Lin had fled.

"Oh no!"

Mu Ruxing realized something was wrong and hurried towards the direction from which the sound came from.

Upon seeing what was happening before them, they were immediately astonished.

A huge pit had appeared on the ground, and the black dragon was buried in it, struggling incessantly.

Red Scale stood at the edge of the pit, constantly attacking with Phosphorus Fire skills while simultaneously filling the rocks with Frenzied Rock Collapse.

Xiao Yi was beside it, using her skills to suppress the black dragon and prevent it from climbing out of the pit.

"this……"

Mu Ruxing was shocked.

If things continue like this, even if Crimson Scale's attack is not enough to kill Black Dragon Flood Dragon, Black Dragon Flood Dragon will be buried in the pit by the rocks and suffocate to death!

At this moment.

Lu Yuan walked over slowly and deliberately.

"See, I told you I didn't need your monstrous python to do anything."

"It's just a small black dragon, no match for Chi Lin and Xiao Yi!"
