(After all this time, it turns out that what I just saw was just an appetizer...)

Jiang Ran glanced at his status information. Fortunately, he still had some energy left, otherwise he would be lying down and waiting to die.

Jiang Ran

HP: 300 / 300

Stamina: 139 / 280

Mana: 1722 / 2530

━━━━━━━━━━

Before the enemy appeared, Jiang Ran quickly sat down to restore his stamina.

He thought that according to the solution of "facing fear" just now, the enemy that was about to appear might correspond to "living towards death".

(Live towards death... Does this mean I should face death positively?)

(However, facing death positively is such an abstract concept, how can we actually do it?)

Before Jiang Ran could figure it out, a new enemy appeared.

As the pitch-black magic circle lit up with a dark red light, a pair of huge four-toed claws slowly descended from the magic circle. With such large claws, Jiang Ran could be easily grabbed by the waist.

Then, a tail covered with red dragon scales emerged from the magic circle, swaying gracefully in the air.

As more and more claws, feet and tail appeared, the owner of this body finally landed from the magic circle, flapped its wings and hovered in the sky, revealing its true appearance!

What appeared before Jiang Ran was a red-scaled two-legged flying dragon.

Those vast wings, the dragon eyes that seemed to be burning with fire, the sturdy body, and the oppressive feeling of intimidation without anger all gave Jiang Ran the same warning:

The real strong man in this trial space has appeared.

━━━━━━━━━━

Jiang Ran looked at the flying dragon that was as big as a fighter jet, smiled bitterly and sighed, thank goodness he was assigned a young dragon, otherwise his small body might not even be enough to fill the opponent's teeth.

Just as Jiang Ran was laughing at himself, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon roared in the air and then swooped down towards Jiang Ran!

This time, there is no countdown, the battle starts directly!

(Damn, how do I fight this?!)

Jiang Ran began to flee in a panic. He saw the direction from which the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was flying with his peripheral vision, and immediately made a sharp ninety-degree turn, dodging perpendicularly to the dive path, thus avoiding this "greeting" attack.

(It’s rude not to reciprocate, so I’ll give you a little bit of something in return!)

Jiang Ran raised his hand and shot an arrow. The arrow landed on the back of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, then bounced back weakly as if it had hit a stone ground and fell back to the ground.

The damage caused by this arrow was as high as 『1』 point.

(Great, time to get back to scraping again?)

·

Jiang Ran really couldn't understand how a level 20, first-order combat profession could compete with a level 50, second-order, maximum-level monster?

No wonder the Purple Trial is called the Death Trial. This enemy is simply impossible to defeat.

However, despite his complaints, Jiang Ran immediately took action, pointing directly at people like him who said one thing but acted another.

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon certainly has an air-to-ground advantage, but its flight turning radius is huge, and it takes a lot of time to turn around in the air.

Taking advantage of the moment when the enemy's attack missed, Jiang Ran immediately ran in the opposite direction to an area where the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon could not quickly pursue him.

With Jiang Ran's character, he would never give up unless he was dead and could no longer move!

5.32 - Scarlet Flame Dragon

Before the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon turned around, Jiang Ran aimed at several parts of it and shot three arrows in succession.

Three arrows hit the Scarlet Flame Dragon's abdomen, wing membrane, and thigh respectively. The arrow to the abdomen caused 2 points of damage, while the other parts only caused 1 point of damage.

And, unsurprisingly, none of the three arrows were able to penetrate the defense and fell from the sky one by one.

Jiang Ran originally thought that the wing membrane of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon might be the most vulnerable part, but in fact, the wing membrane was covered with a layer of very fine white dragon scales, which could not be penetrated by the Fir Tree Demon's long hunting bow.

On the contrary, the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon's abdomen had no scales to protect it, and it only relied on its strong and thick abdominal muscles to support its defense line.

This made Jiang Ran form an impression of this Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon. Perhaps, this young dragon was quite conceited?

·

However, even if the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon is conceited, it does have the capital to be conceited.

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon has nearly 70 points of vitality. Even if Jiang Ran shoots all the remaining arrows, it will not feel any pain.

If Jiang Ran wants to defeat it, he has to rely on his brain.

In previous battles against powerful enemies, Jiang Ran either had a strong supporter like Viviana to rely on, or had the environment or a third-party force (such as the Corruption Blade Rat King) to take advantage of. In short, he did not rely on Jiang Ran's own strength to attack the enemy head-on.

And now, in this wasteland trial space, Jiang Ran can only rely on himself to find a way to eliminate the 4786 points of vitality of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon.

Only a roar was heard from the sky, and the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon gave up circling in the air and landed directly on the ground to cause trouble for Jiang Ran.

This was not good news for Jiang Ran. The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's movement speed on the ground was not slow. It could run faster than Jiang Ran by just using its wings to speed up a little.

Now the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was like a rooster catching bugs to eat. It only took two steps and flapped its wings a few times before it caught up with Jiang Ran!

As the distance shortened, Jiang Ran was filled with fear at the huge body of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon and the dragon might accompanying its breath. This was the first time he encountered a monster with such strong oppression since he came to the Prison Star World.

Driven by fear, Jiang Ran threw two smoke bombs at his feet, and when the white smoke dispersed, he escaped from the attack range of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon in one breath.

(No, it would be very dangerous if someone gets close to me...!)

Although there was no evidence, Jiang Ran could feel that with his physical fitness, if he was stepped on two or three times by the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, he would confess on the spot.

And if you were bitten by that bloody mouth, you would not even be able to ask whether the human flesh of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was delicious.

In addition, the thick and powerful dragon tail of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon is also a dangerous weapon. If Jiang Ran is hit by that thing, he will most likely be a corpse when he falls to the ground.

To sum it up in one sentence, Jiang Ran must not be touched by the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon at all, otherwise he will die!

At this moment, Jiang Ran missed the little motorcycle very much. If it were there, Jiang Ran would at least be able to beat the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon in ground speed.

Seeing that the smoke was about to dissipate and the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon had already emerged from the smoke, Jiang Ran had neither thought of a way to slay the dragon nor found a plan to save his life.

(There is no other way, I can only watch while playing.)

There were 12 smoke bombs left. Jiang Ran didn't want to use up all his cards so quickly, so he put up an iron round shield and prepared to rely on the red light warning of the Super-Dimensional God's Eye to deal with the Scarlet Flame Dragon for a while.

He currently knew too little about the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon. Only by obtaining enough intelligence could he find the enemy's weakness.

In Jiang Ran's understanding, if humans in the game want to defeat the dragon, the usual way is to "repair its feet".

Humans who cannot fly or jump onto the dragon's back can only use weapons to attack back and forth between the dragon's legs until the dragon is killed. This behavior is jokingly called "pedicure" for the dragon by players.

However, this is reality, not a game. Regardless of whether Jiang Ran's weapon would bounce off the dragon's feet, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon would not be so stiff as to be killed by such a stupid scraping method.

So, what are the feasible strategies?

Looking at the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon charging towards him, Jiang Ran thought of three methods he could try.

1. Shoot its eyes with a bow and arrow;

Second, use the Black Sword Flame Horse's skill "Blue Flame Horse" to burn its abdomen;

3. Find an opportunity to stab it a few times with the "Corrupted Dagger·Poison Claw" to see if you can stack the poison.

Jiang Ran did what he said. Now the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was sprinting with its head down. He immediately activated his "Heart of Concentration" and aimed at the dragon's eyes. He shot four arrows from the left and right, using the time difference attack to attack the dragon's eyes!

But what Jiang Ran didn't expect was that the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon had an extremely sharp observation ability. It immediately closed its eyes and easily blocked the incoming arrow with the dense dragon scales on its eyelids, and then rushed in front of Jiang Ran!

The Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon opened its bloody mouth and stretched its neck to try to bite Jiang Ran to death. Jiang Ran took a step back in advance according to the red light and narrowly avoided the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon's bite attack. Then he took the opportunity to go around the opponent's feet and used the "Corrupted Poison Dagger·Poison Claw" to stab and chop its calves. Unexpectedly, all the attacks bounced off!

(Damn, these dragon scales are too hard!)

Jiang Ran didn't dare to stay around the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon for too long, and immediately ran away after his attack failed.

The slow turning speed of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon is one of the few weaknesses that Jiang Ran can exploit.

By the time the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon turned its head towards Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran had already run forty or fifty meters away. The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon looked at this dodging human and felt a little angry. How could it take so much time to deal with a mere human?

Driven by emotion, the Scarlet Flame Dragon raised its head high, and the magic power in its body began to gather in its throat...

Seeing this, Jiang Ran knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly quickened his pace and ran away. However, he had only run twenty or thirty meters when he heard the earth-shaking roar of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon behind him!

The roar of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon was not simply loud, but also mixed with magic power in its sound waves. Even though Jiang Ran was seventy meters away, he felt as if his eardrums were about to burst. He could only cover his ears and squat on the spot, unable to move any further.

Fortunately, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was unable to move during the dragon's roar.

When the roar ended, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon regained its fighting spirit and charged towards Jiang Ran, while Jiang Ran confirmed the changes in the data of both parties while running.

Jiang Ran noticed that the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon's "Dragon Roar" had consumed 50 points of magic power, apparently a skill of its own. Jiang Ran himself, damaged by the roar's sonic waves, lost 19 points of vitality.

At a distance of 70 meters, the dragon's roar was still so powerful. If Jiang Ran was hit by it at close range, he didn't know how much damage he would suffer.

As the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon gradually caught up with Jiang Ran, the second round of close combat began.

Jiang Ran looked back and saw that the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon had opened its bloody mouth again, as if it was going to use the same trick again, but the "red light prompt" pointing down from the upper part made Jiang Ran realize that this cunning enemy had other plans.

5.33 - Crimson Dragon Flame Dance (nd Update)

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon first made a feint and took a fake bite, then spread its wings and jumped into the air, using the inertia of the sprint to step on Jiang Ran with its dragon claws!

But Jiang Ran had already seen through Feiyan Feilong's thoughts. He rolled sideways on the spot, avoiding the dragon claws and successfully got behind the enemy. As soon as he stood up, he stabbed Feiyan Feilong's anus with the "Corrupted Dagger·Poison Claw"!

With a "clang" sound, Jiang Ran was hit by the knife again to great surprise. He never thought that the chrysanthemum of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was also covered with dragon scales!

As for the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, his anus tightened and he instantly became furious! !

Feeling insulted, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon swung its tail violently on the spot. Jiang Ran dodged it by relying on the red light, but when Jiang Ran stood up, the warning red light had already spread all around him.

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon raised its head high, and another dragon roar was about to come, but Jiang Ran had no time to dodge!

(Hashrate boost and overclocking!)

In a split second, Jiang Ran thought about using the "Shadow Escape Step", but he finally chose to cover his ears and squat down.

The next second, the deafening roar of the flying dragon shook his entire head, and the strong tinnitus made him unable to hear anything for a while, and even his internal organs were shaking.

(Damn… I think too highly of myself…)

Jiang Ran stood up shakily. The dragon's roar he took at close range not only cost him 117 points of vitality (281-117/300), but also made him unable to move for a short period of time.

What's even more terrible is that the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon will not wait for Jiang Ran to recover from his dizziness. It leaps on the spot and sees clearly where the human is. Then, the furious Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon releases a large amount of magic power onto his body in one breath!

In an instant, the scorching magic power ignited the dragon scales all over the body of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, and at this moment it transformed into a true fire dragon!

Without giving the human a chance to react, the Scarlet Flame Dragon pounced straight at the human, and then followed up with a swing on the spot. The flying flames formed a high-speed rotating fire tornado with the Scarlet Flame Dragon as the center, burning everything around it!

This is the second-level skill of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, "Crimson Dragon Flame Dance"!

——(Shameless human! This is what you get for humiliating me!)

After releasing the skill, the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon looked back at the charred ground, feeling very satisfied.

Shameless human beings like this should be burned to ashes!

After the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon had his revenge, he raised his head and roared, then sat down to rest.

However, the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon did not know that in the shadow of a stone pillar not far away, the human being whom it thought had been burned to ashes had actually moved there at some point and was sitting there resting.
