Great, we're doomed now!

As expected, the problem still needs to be solved on the fifth floor!

“Chilcak, you halflings are very light-footed and have no scent, so you are not easily detected by the Flame Dragon. You will be in charge of finding the high ground and drawing a map of this level.”

Marushir, once the map of Chilchak is complete, I will tell you where to set up magic traps.

"Senshi, you and Leos are stronger and more familiar with the characteristics of monsters, so go and search for supplies on this floor. We'll try to prepare as many familiars as possible."

Ye Shou calmly gave orders to everyone, his tone both calm and convincing: "And I'm responsible for preparing some small props to distract Yanlong at crucial moments."

If all goes well, let's enjoy a feast of whole dragon meat after rescuing Farin, everyone!

"it is good!"

"That sounds very promising!"

"Ye Shou is right."

Guh~~~

Perhaps due to a moment of mental relaxation, Marushir's stomach made an uncooperative noise, causing the elven girl to blush instantly.

"No! I'm not that hungry... I probably am."

"what!"

Everyone laughed, and Senxi seized the opportunity to speak up: "Since things have come to this, let's eat first and talk about it later~"

-

Dragons are large monsters, and the Fire Dragon is the best among them, already the overlord of the dungeon!

Although these creatures cannot fly or use magic, their powerful physical strength and indestructible scale defense allow them to easily crush even a team of a hundred people.

Its stomach contains flammable gases produced by the fermentation of food. When it spews out large amounts of gas, it can ignite sparks by colliding with the base of its tongue, creating an exaggerated sea of ​​fire that covers half a street. It can be said that the chances of humans winning a direct confrontation with it are zero.

But it's not truly without weaknesses!

They are impervious to blades and spears, and ordinary weapons can hardly harm them. However, there is one unprotected reverse scale under their jaws, which goes straight to the vital point and can kill with one blow!

Therefore, slaying a dragon is quite simple; you only need to meet a few conditions:

First, it's about surviving the dragon's breath;

Secondly, it can withstand the dragon's attacks or restrict its movements;

Third, it exposes the dragon's weak point in its lower jaw and provides a means to strike its Achilles' heel!

It's easier said than done.

After Ye Shou assigned the tasks, everyone enjoyed a vegetable porridge and stewed treasure chest monsters. Then, they spent a whole day scouting and designing traps, which took even longer than exploring a single floor.

But it was all worth it. Afterwards, Chilchuck, with his professional eye, carefully reviewed everything and felt that it was almost certain that there would be no problems.

"I never imagined that we would actually reach the fifth level in just three or four days, and now we are going to challenge the Flame Dragon!"

"It's truly incredible. We owe this all to the help of Senxi and Ye Shou. If it were just the three of us, it probably wouldn't have been nearly enough."

"Not at all," Ye Shou waved his hand politely, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

"No, I can never thank you enough." Leos gave Ye Shou a thumbs up. "After I rescue Farin, let's talk about the story of the East!"

"...Okay." Ye Shou blinked, unsure if this counted as setting a flag.

Despite his youthful appearance, Chilchak, who is actually a middle-aged man with a family and daughter, complained, "I'm already considered quite old among the halflings. I really can't handle such exciting work. After this rescue and return to the surface, I'll have to consider retiring."

Ye Shou: "..."

“Fallen must be terrified right now,” Marushir said firmly, gripping her wand. “Let’s get her out of here as soon as possible so we can all get home!”

"Well, seeing how confident you all are, I feel relieved."

Mori smiled broadly: "I'm really looking forward to it too... It's my first time cooking dragon meat!"

Ye Shou: "..."

What's wrong with these people? They're all so adept at setting up flags!

No, since that's the case, then I won't hold back—

"My parents have always wanted me to settle down, and this trip may be the last one. I feel so lucky to be able to meet everyone at the end."

Ye Shou smiled brightly amidst everyone's blessings.

"Actually, I have a lover in my hometown... Yes, I'm going to propose to her this time I go back."

Come on! Let the poison milk come even more fiercely!

Chapter 64 I Don't Actually Need a Lolita Mom

Standing between two houses facing each other, Ye Shou looked around and carefully measured several locations before taking out a series of packaged black boxes from his "backpack," installing the receiving and transmitting devices, and then hiding them away.

"In this way, there will be no chance of anything going wrong." Ye Shou stood up and muttered to himself.

The Flame Dragon has strong defenses, but this is relative to ordinary melee weapons. Enchanted weapons, special metals, and powerful magic can all penetrate the dragon scales' defenses.

However, on the one hand, it is very large, and human-sized weapons are difficult to damage its internal organs. On the other hand, it is also difficult for vanguards to survive under the dragon's tail and breath. Therefore, adventurers in this world will choose to attack Reverse Scale.

But for Ye Shou and his collection, it's a completely different story.

Few magical artifacts in this world can achieve the destructive power of blowing up a building, but C4 and TNT in the 21st century can do it easily, and there are even more explosive things!

If the explosion occurs at point-blank range, the Flame Dragon will also suffer considerable damage. Given a sufficiently large explosive charge and a suitable location, a dragon meat feast can begin immediately!

To put it simply, the dragons in Delicious in Dungeon are just large monsters, not the kind of numerical monsters in other works that are tens of millions of years old, proficient in dragon language and magic, and can compete with gods and demons!

Ye Shou spent a month preparing in the main world, making contingency plans for all possible situations. Naturally, he would not forget the most powerful weapon invented by mankind to dispel fear—dynamite!

In theory, once the trap is set, the "landmines" can render the Flame Dragon immobile, allowing for a long-range finisher attack by shooting its Reverse Scale.

—Getting the title of "Dragon Slayer" is just too easy!

However, Ye Shou plans to try the traditional method today:

A real man fights hand-to-hand with his teeth!

With defensive magic, teammate support, and pre-set traps, there's no better opportunity to gain experience than to deal with a large beast with a clear weakness!

Now that he uses modern technology and even cyber technology, he can easily defeat Yanlong, or even stronger opponents.

But unless he possesses cosmic black technology on par with Ultraman Hikari, he will eventually have to rely on himself!

Even Superman A-Guang, doesn't he still rely on his spiritual power to defeat the BOSS?

There are methods and approaches to "speedrunning," and you must not skimp on the experience you gain!

Of course, this doesn't stop him from having a backup plan... If he's really unlucky and the battle plan fails with a very small probability, he'll just flip the table!

Hopefully, Yanlong will be sensible and stick to the plan, then we can still get a decent "hero versus dragon" ending. Otherwise, he'll have to experience the art of explosion!

After arranging everything, Ye Shou silently returned to his temporary post, not mentioning to anyone what he had done.

“Now that Ye Shou is back, let’s go over the plan again.” Leos picked up a stick and started drawing on the ground.

"Marusir will create a familiar to attract the fire dragon's attention, and try to lure it to the main road here. After turning a corner, it will enter a narrower area. Right here, there is a skybridge that spans the street. This is the battlefield we have planned."

We lay in ambush not far away, and when we saw the Flame Dragon enter its position, we signaled to Chilchak to notify Marushir to activate the trap and blow up the sky bridge!

In this way, Yanlong will be trapped by the falling rocks and temporarily lose his ability to move.

There are two possibilities: either the Flame Dragon reacted too late, and we seized the opportunity to pierce its reverse scales; or the Flame Dragon was not seriously injured and used its dragon breath on us while unable to move.

Now it was Senshi's and my turn to go on stage!

“I have a few questions,” Chilchak said, raising his hand.

"explain."

"Um... am I redundant? Why not just send a signal to Marushir?"

“Because Marushir is not yet proficient in manipulating ‘familiars,’ she needs to concentrate fully when attracting the fire dragon. She can’t multitask, so Chilchak, you need to stay by her side and help her keep an eye on external signals.”

The halfling glanced at the embarrassed Marushir and nodded: "I understand, but there's one more thing. We discussed how to defend against dragon breath... To be honest, I think your plan is a gamble."

"At least it has defensive magic and fire resistance... If we use this pot as a shield, we should be able to get through the first wave!"

"...Are you serious?" Chilchak glanced at Sensi's black pot, his face starting to tense up. "That's the breath of a fire dragon!"

"This is a top-quality wok!"

Senshi stroked the iron pot like a treasure, saying with reminiscence, "This was originally a shield passed down through generations in the family of one of my former companions. Over the decades, it has protected me from countless attacks by monsters, and its durability is well-assured!"

"...So you used something with sentimental value as a pot?"

"..."

Senxi looked away: "Nothing is more important than being well-fed and watered. If he knew, he would definitely agree."

Could this pot be made of some rare metal? Chilchak was skeptical, but since Leos and Sensi were willing to risk their lives, he, in a safe position, had no grounds to object.

"Is everything alright now?"

Leos paused for a moment, then continued, "Senxi and I will be in charge of holding them back. Ye Shou is the most skilled among us, and he also has a magic sword that can pierce dragon scales, so we'll have him find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Flame Dragon's weak point!"

"When I first heard about this plan, I was so excited that I thought it made a lot of sense..."

"Let's review this again, and why am I getting more and more worried?"

"Although Leos is unreliable, we have no choice but to go for it now!"

"I hope everything goes smoothly then, I hope everything goes smoothly then..."

The elf prayed silently for a while, then took out a magic book and materials, and began to relive the process of making familiars during his student days.

"Let me help too. Tell me how to process the materials."

"That's great, thank you Ye Shou!"

Maruhiel breathed a sigh of relief, handed over her work to Ye Shou, and began to concentrate on flipping through the book.

Along the way, you could often see her cramming at the last minute, giving the impression that she had just graduated from university.

In reality, she was quite experienced among adventurers. The reason she was in such a predicament was that Farin, who was originally in charge of these tasks, was no longer there, so she had to temporarily "change jobs" and take on these extra tasks.

"Alright! Next, we'll design the monster's appearance and functions... Leos?"

Marushir frowned and forcefully pushed away Leos's head that was leaning in: "Go play somewhere else, we have serious things to do!"

"Um, I just wanted to see how it was made... By the way, what kind of monster are you planning to make?"
