Chapter 459: Fighting the Dragon

To lure the tiger away from the mountain, the tiger must be far enough away. Now, if they get close to the golden apple tree, the dragon will be driven back and killed. So this strategy is obviously useless.

"What do you think?" An Sheng asked Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "A head-on fight is definitely not going to work. The chance of death is too high. We can only think of another way."

After a pause, Zhou Wen continued, "I have an idea. If I can entangle the dark dragon for a few seconds, are you sure I can pick the golden apple?"

"How many seconds can you hold on?" An Sheng asked after thinking for a while.

"Ten seconds at most, at least five seconds, but before that, I need to use my companion pet to confirm again before I can determine the exact time." Zhou Wen said after serious consideration.

"If you can hold it for six seconds, I can get the golden apple back." An Sheng said after careful calculation.

"Then let's give it a try." Zhou Wen planned to try again to see what abilities the black dragon had.

"I still have quite a few companion pets. I'll try a few more times to test the black dragon's abilities clearly. It won't be too late to take action then." An Sheng said.

"Is there anything I can do?" Zhang Yuzhi asked.

"Please cheer us on here," An Sheng said to her.

"Okay, I'll cheer for you." Zhang Yuzhi didn't really plan to be a dragon slayer. Besides, she was only a legendary level, not as good as Zhou Wen and the others. She was just joking before.

Zhou Wen and Ansheng left the cave again and found a hidden location to summon their companion pets. They asked their companion pets to stay in different locations in advance. After everything was arranged, they had those companion pets attack the black dragon in different locations.

Ansheng has many companion pets, and Zhou Wen also has quite a few, but the companion pets of both of them are basically like throwing meat buns at a dog and never come back.

Zhou Wen used blood filarial worms to try to sneak into the black dragon's body, but the blood filarial worms died as soon as they penetrated its skin.

There was also an epic poisonous bat that flew through the air and was swallowed by the black dragon in one gulp.

The two of them sacrificed at least thirty or forty companion pets in total. None of them could survive for more than five seconds in front of the black dragon, which made them fully realize the horror of the black dragon.

Of course, this is also because neither of them is willing to use their beloved companion pets, and all they took out are some cannon fodder companion pets.

However, the different attack forms of various companion pets allowed the black dragon to use some of its abilities, giving Zhou Wen and An Sheng a clearer understanding of the black dragon.

"It's much faster than us, not to mention its strength. One of my epic-level strength companion pets was easily crushed by it. Furthermore, it's not afraid of wind, fire, lightning, and possesses high resistance. It can't breathe fire, but it can breathe poisonous smoke..." An Sheng recounted the results of his own observations, then looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "What do you think? How many seconds can it last? I'd rather underestimate than overestimate."

"Seven seconds." Zhou Wen carefully calculated in his mind many times, taking all his abilities into consideration, and finally came up with such a conservative number.

"That's enough. Let's make a plan first. I'll lurk near the apple tree first. My maximum distance should be within 500 meters. Then you use your companion pet to lure it away and find a way to hold it back for seven seconds. The rest is left to me." An Sheng said as he drew a picture on the ground, explaining the entire plan clearly.

"Remember, we only have one chance. If we fail, we will die." An Sheng said to Zhou Wen when they were about to leave the cave.

"I understand." Zhou Wen nodded solemnly.

The two men came out of the cave. According to the plan, Ansheng quietly lurked close to the apple tree. His ability to conceal his breath and camouflage was very strong. Zhou Wen watched Ansheng moving forward on the grass and could hardly tell the difference between him and the grass.

The closer An Sheng got to the black dragon, the slower he became, as if he was moving in slow motion.

A few hours later, Ansheng was only about four hundred meters away from the apple tree, and the black dragon's ears suddenly moved.

Zhou Wen and An Sheng's hearts suddenly rose to their throats. An Sheng lay there motionless, and Zhou Wen's heart was beating wildly, and he even forgot to breathe.

After a long while, the black dragon's ears drooped again, and Zhou Wen felt a little better.

An Sheng was extremely bold. He continued to crawl forward another twenty or thirty meters, which made Zhou Wen's heart almost stop.

Zhou Wen knew that the closer An Sheng got to the black dragon, the more danger he would be exposed to. They had originally agreed to stop about 500 meters away from the apple tree, but now they were within 400 meters. An Sheng was using his own danger to reduce Zhou Wen's risk.

The closer he is to the apple tree, the faster he can get to the golden apple, and the sooner the black dragon will turn around and chase him, and Zhou Wen’s risk will be relatively reduced.

Finally, Ansheng made the agreed gesture, and Zhou Wen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was time for him to make his debut.

After retreating to the edge of the island, Zhou Wen summoned his companion pet and made sufficient preparations. Then he roared to the sky: "Big lizard, I'm here, come and eat me."

The black dragon, which was originally resting under the golden apple tree, immediately pricked up its ears and stood up when it heard Zhou Wen's shout. After determining its position, it flapped its wings violently, broke through the air in an instant, and rushed towards where Zhou Wen was.

Black lightning flashed across the sky and appeared in Zhou Wen's sight almost instantly.

Zhou Wen summoned a row of Vajra Warriors to block the black dragon. These were originally food left for the Tyrant Behemoth after they were spawned in the past, but later the Tyrant Behemoth directly ate the Yuan Crystal Stones, so there was no use keeping these.

The black object rushed over like lightning, and those Vajra warriors were knocked all over the sky. Zhou Wen held a bamboo sword in one hand and a tyrant sword in the other, and slashed out with the swords and knives. The magic star wheel and the gear sword light crossed and slashed towards the black dragon's head.

Black light shot out from the black dragon's eyes, directly exploding the Magic Star Wheel and the Gear Sword Light, but its body rushed towards Zhou Wen without stopping.

Zhou Wen activated his ghostly steps and instantly moved more than ten meters to the left, while silently counting in his mind: "One second..."

An Sheng over there had already rushed towards the golden apple tree like a ghost, and his speed was equally terrifyingly fast.

The black dragon was even faster than Zhou Wen who used the ghost step. With a flap of its wings, its huge body drew an L shape in the air with incredible agility and caught up with Zhou Wen directly. A large amount of black poisonous smoke spewed out of its mouth, rolling towards Zhou Wen like a flood.

The last chapter will come later.
