Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 80 Take action when it’s time to take action

The moment the female Rathian landed, the surrounding air gradually became scorching hot.

Chen Qi's palms began to sweat.

He has prepared guides for at least five Dragon's Nest locations.

But this was the first time he had ever seen a female Rathalos go berserk the moment they met.

In its berserk state, the female Rathalos will use powerful skills such as Rathalos Breath, Dragon's Roar, and Bite more frequently.

Normally, the fire dragon only enters a brief period of frenzy just before it leaves Dragon's Nest Island.

A female Rathian in a berserk state is at least twice as strong as one in its normal state.

The female Rathalos inhaled the surrounding air into her belly, then suddenly raised her head, spewing scalding flames from her throat.

Fire Dragon's Great Breath!

This is the most powerful move of the Fire Dragon, and it's an attack when it's in a berserk state!
It would take a powerful tank to withstand this attack.

"Deep-sea crystal spirit, come out."

Chen Qi picked up the backpack card.

Deep-sea sea sprites, water-attribute monsters buried by deep-sea hunters, have bodies that are completely able to withstand the breath of fire dragons.

"Deep Sea Spirit".

Chen Qi looked at the open backpack card and then at them.

They all had a (=.=) expression and didn't react at all.

They're still sleeping!

"Wake up, it's time to wake up."

Chen Qi suddenly took the seven deep-sea spirits out of his backpack card and threw them forward like throwing a Poké Ball.

“(OO)!”

The deep-sea spirit's eyes widened suddenly, converging to form a wall of bubbles.

The fire dragon's breath suddenly sprayed onto them.

"Waaaaah!"

The deep-sea sea sprites trembled violently and let out screams. If this continued, they felt they were about to turn into boiling water sprites.

The scalding flames slowly dissipated.

Well done!

Chen Qi crouched down, dodging the female Rathalos's fire breath.

After a round of Rathalos's Great Breath, the female Rathalos needs at least a minute to catch her breath due to her high body temperature.

Oh no! The seven pitiful water sprites want a hug from Chen Qi.

It's too hot... Chen Qi held it for a while, took out the water bottle, took a sip, and then looked at the terrible scene around him.

Thirteen people were seriously injured due to a lack of timely defense.

Five hunters, severely burned all over their bodies, are unable to fight and urgently need medical care.

Three cowardly hunters, out of fear, chose to leave the battlefield.

"The situation is not optimistic."

Why did it go berserk at this moment? Could it be the aphrodisiac powder from earlier?

Chen Qi carefully observed the female Rathalos in front of him, then looked behind him.

boom! boom! boom!
In the distance, Little Red Riding Hood stood up, condensed a blood spear, and began fighting the Rathalos.

The two of them had fought to an unseen place.

Little Red Riding Hood doesn't have dragon blood, and the aphrodisiac powder only serves to mock her, just as humans wouldn't like a small animal dressed in revealing and sexy clothing.

It's for other reasons...

Chen Qi looked at the female Rathalos.

Its eyes were filled with blood-red tears, and every scale seemed to carry a heavy burden.

Is it sick?

Chen Qi thought to himself subconsciously.

In the Land of Dragons, there is indeed a way to cure the dragon's illness and ultimately succeed in clearing the level.

At that moment, a noise came from the rocks behind him.

Covered in blood, Baron climbed down from the rock, pulled a vial of medicine from under his clothes, and then plunged it into his vein.

"It really hurts, my bones almost broke."

At this moment, the crowd, frightened by the fire dragon, took a step back and cursed.

Balong's gaze was cold. He ignored the others' words and instead focused his attention on Chen Qi:
"Friend, what kind of pet is this? It can actually withstand the attack of a fire dragon."

"Water Sprite".

Chen Qi kneaded the water sprites like dough.

Deep-sea water sprites are several times stronger than ordinary water sprites, but they are very similar in appearance.

As Baron spoke, he gripped his greatsword and walked to the front of the group:

"To be honest, there are very few animal trainers in our country. This is the first time I've ever seen water spirits, and there are seven of them."

Chen Qi became even more wary of Balong.

There are clearly more reliable methods to defeat the fire dragon.

However, Baron dragged them all into the battle against the fire dragon, plunging them into a difficult situation.

"Friend, I simply want to win."

Baron noticed what everyone was thinking and said with a smile:

"Everyone, we must control the female fire dragon in front of us before the Bloodblade Pirates' female pirate dies, otherwise we will be attacked by two fire dragons."

Everyone shook their heads. Although they were extremely dissatisfied with Balong's unauthorized initiation of the group, they could only swallow their anger.

Their only option now is to join forces with Baron and confront the raging female Rathalos before them.

Taking advantage of the Rathian's brief respite, everyone drew their guns and large melee weapons, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the Rathian.

Da da da da da!
Knives, bullets, and fists rained down on the female Rathian's scales!

Chen Qi hid behind the female Rathalos and attacked the dragon's back with his pistol.

At the cost of ten hunters being injured.

Finally, under the combined firepower of fifty people, the female Rathalos felt the pain, flapped its wings, and tried to fly into the sky to use the skill Fire Dragon Slam!
Baron seized the opportunity and roared at his teammates:

This is your chance! Make your move!

"Lock it up!"

At that moment, the other seven members of the Red Crystal Hunters Group took out thick, black chains.

They threw chains at the female Rathalos, which wrapped around her legs, neck, and wings...

Then he slammed the chain head into the ground, forcibly pinning the female Rathian to the ground!

“Very professional.”

Chen Qi looked at the chains. The chains they were using were a set of extraordinary relics of the Balance Phase, produced from a C-level rift, capable of suppressing large creatures for a short time.

At this moment, everyone in the Red Crystal Hunters Group spoke in unison.

Numerous jet-black incantations appeared on the chains.

Boom!

In that instant, the fire dragon was pressed down by an invisible gravity, and its entire massive body sank into the ground.

"You're very well prepared."

Chen Qi looked at Balong.

What followed was beyond their expectations.

After successfully controlling the fire dragon, Baron took out a tube of green extraordinary potion as thick as an arm from his backpack.

Then, like a seasoned professional bullfighter, he leaped onto the female Rathalos's head and clamped his legs around its head.

Baron gritted his teeth, bent down, and used his thick, strong hands to forcefully pry open the female Rathalos's mouth.

He wanted to throw the green potion into the female Rathalos's mouth.

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

Balong's right arm was severely bitten by the dragon's teeth, and a large amount of blood splattered out.

"It's done."

At the last moment, Baron pulled his hand out and successfully threw the potion into the Rathian's mouth!
This medicine is a special medicine that they purchased at great expense!
Enough to force the fire dragon into a deep sleep!
Next, all we have to do is wait.

However, he hadn't been happy for even a second.

The female Rathalos broke free of her chains, and her scales trembled violently.

"Pooh!"

Then, the next second, the fire dragon spat the green potion it had just used onto Baron's face.

"..."

Baron wiped the green liquid off his face and stood there.

"Failed."

Chen Qi shook his head.

It is indeed possible to force a female Rathalos to take the potion using such a violent method.

However, at the last moment, Baron made a mistake; he tried to save his hand.

Therefore, he did not put the medicine down the other person's throat, but simply placed it on their tongue.

The crushing defeat left the Red Crystal Hunters frozen in place, completely bewildered.

The chains they just used were extraordinary relics; they cannot use them a second time.

The female Rathalos shook her head and flapped her wings, and scorching flames once again erupted from her scales.

Now, it's Rathian's turn.

The female Rathalos began to adjust her breathing.

The moment it finished adjusting its breathing, it unleashed another powerful fire dragon breath.

Some hunters risked falling into the lava, jumping off the platform repeatedly.

Of the original 53 men, 20 have fled the battlefield.

A dragon is still a dragon, even a dragon from a D-rank rift is not something an ordinary hunter can easily defeat.

The remaining hunters looked at the weapons in their hands.

If they also run away, the entire hunter group will collapse instantly.

Now, they can only trust that Baron can defeat the female Rathalos before them.

"The casualties are heavy. If this continues, we'll become food for the fire dragon sooner or later."

I looked around when I woke up in the morning.

Many people have lost the will to fight.

If things continue like this, even survival will be a problem.

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

Baron, his hair disheveled, rummaged through his backpack for his cards.

Chen Qi looked at Balong's backpack card.

Although it failed, the green potion we just used is a viable tool.

If there's a second vial of the green potion.

As a chef, he had a way to get the medicine into the dragon's mouth.

Baron took out the second tube of green medicine from his backpack card and held it in his hand.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the female Rathalos, a sense of powerlessness permeating his entire body.

Although he still had one dose of the potion left, he was now unable to put it into the dragon's mouth.

If this continues, they will be wiped out sooner or later.

Chen Qi walked to Balong's side:
"Balong".

Baron had lost all his arrogance and domineering presence; he was now as dejected as a stray dog.

"What?"

Chen Qi said:

“I have a way to get the potion into the dragon’s belly.”

The moment the words were spoken, the entire hunter group fell into a brief silence.

Under normal circumstances, no one would believe the words of a Tier 1 hunter.

But now, they have no choice.

Although it was just a suggestion from a Tier 1 hunter, it still caused quite a stir.

"what?"

Balong blinked, looking at Chen Qi beside him in disbelief.

What a joke.

Under normal circumstances, no Tier 1 hunter has the right to speak in a D-rank rift.

The female Rathalos has gone berserk; if we don't act soon...

Once Little Red Riding Hood's battle is over, they will likely face a mixed doubles situation.

Chen Qi ignored the other person's disdainful look:
"Of course, there are conditions, Baron. If you want me to help you defeat the fire dragon, in return, you must tell us your true purpose in coming to this rift."

What exactly happened to you in this place ten years ago?

Balong's eye twitched, and he froze instantly.

He's the most senior hunter here.

The other party not only made outrageous remarks, but also tried to find his weaknesses.
