Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

(It was too dangerous... If it weren't for Shadow Step, I would have died right there.)

Although Jiang Ran was resting, he reduced his breath as much as possible to avoid being discovered by the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon.

He was now recovering his stamina while waiting for the 30-second cooldown of Shadow Step to pass.

Just now, Jiang Ran was forced to use the "Shadow Escape Step", but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. He witnessed the second skill of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon, which caused the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon to waste as much as 300 points of magic power in vain.

The more conceited a person is, the more likely he or she is to get angry. This is a rule Jiang Ran has seen in psychology books.

When people (dragons) are furious, they usually do some irrational things. For example, they could have bit Jiang Ran to death with one bite, but they went to great lengths to use a fancy skill.

After these two rounds of competition, Jiang Ran has lost half of his life, but he still has room for maneuver with his remaining magic power.

On the other hand, the Crimson Flame Dragon's vitality is almost intact and its endurance is abundant, except that it uses a little more magic power.

Jiang Ran summed up the experience from the previous battle and began to formulate a new strategy.

First, the strategy centered around "Corrupted Dagger: Poison Claws" was the only thing left to try. If even the abdomen couldn't be penetrated, then the strategy of stacking poison buffs on the Scarlet Flame Dragon would have to be abandoned.

The second is the Black Sword Flame Horse, which is a method Jiang Ran is not very willing to use.

According to Jiang Ran's current remaining magic power, the "Blue Flame Horse" which consumes up to 444 points of magic power can only be used twice. If it is used for the third time, the remaining magic power will be less than 444 points, which will trigger the backlash of the magic sword.

Considering that he only had 164 points of health left, Jiang Ran didn't think he could survive a round of "Backlash Flame" like Branch Chief Oleg.

In addition, after deducting the magic power pre-allocated to "Blue Flame Horse", Jiang Ran only has 155 magic points left to use for other skills.

This little bit of magic power is not even enough to use Shadow Escape Step once (200 points of magic power).

Therefore, the necessary prerequisite for Jiang Ran to use the Black Sword Flame Horse is that the "Blue Flame Horse" can cause more than 2392 points of damage to the Crimson Flame Dragon in one hit, and then end the battle within two hits.

But, 2392 points, is this possible?

After witnessing the Scarlet Flame Dragon's skill "Scarlet Dragon Flame Dance" just now, Jiang Ran didn't think that the same fire-based attack method could cause such high damage to it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Crimson Flame Dragon's fire resistance is definitely not low.

(No, I still need to think of an attack method other than "Blue Flame Horse"...)

·

Jiang Ran was still lost in thought, when for some unknown reason the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon took off.

At first, Jiang Ran thought that the other party had discovered his breath, so he quickly hid behind the stone pillar. Then Jiang Ran realized that this guy just wanted to fly for a while to move around.

(Speaking of which, this Scarlet Flame Dragon is different from the shadow clone from the first round. It seems to be a living monster.)

(So ​​was it summoned from outside by a magic circle?)

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran understood the motive of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon taking off. This guy must be looking for a way to get out of here.

However, unless one of Jiang Ran and Feiyan Feilong dies, neither of them can leave this trial space.

Looking at the Crimson Flame Dragon soaring in the sky and then looking around the wasteland, Jiang Ran had an idea.

·

"Hey! Stupid dragon! Your father is here!" (Demon language)

After restoring his endurance, Jiang Ran stood up and shouted loudly to attract the attention of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon.

Soon, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon discovered Jiang Ran's presence. It was puzzled as to why this human was still alive, then it turned around and swooped down towards Jiang Ran!

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's thought process was very simple. Since he didn't kill it just now, he could just kill it again!

On Jiang Ran's side, he was very satisfied as he saw the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's diving speed getting faster and faster. This was the effect he wanted.

When the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's diving speed was so fast that it could not change direction, Jiang Ran first threw three smoke bombs on the spot, then activated the "Heart of Concentration" and shot six arrows in a row at the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's eyes!

5.34 - Dragon Roar Sword Flame (rd update)

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was unexpectedly caught in a dilemma.

If it closes its eyes, it will dive into the smoke without seeing anything;

If it doesn't close its eyes, its eyes may be shot by the insidious arrows of humans.

However, the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon did not hesitate, because thinking was not what it was good at.

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon followed its instinct, closed its eyes and dived into the smoke. At the same time, it flapped its wings and pulled upwards, intending to fly back into the air first.

In this situation, the worst that could happen to it is that it would just fly up again and dive again.

然而，意料之外事情发生了。

Just after the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon gained altitude and rushed out of the smoke, it crashed into something huge and hard. The pain was so severe that it temporarily lost the ability to move and fell to the ground!

·

Jiang Ran watched the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon falling from the sky and sprinted after it.

While the big guy was still asleep, Jiang Ran quickly climbed onto its belly and stabbed and chopped it with the poisonous dagger. Every time the dagger pierced its belly, blood was drawn, and all the cuts were successful!

(It’s done!)

Jiang Ran was very cautious and knew when to quit. He quickly broke away before the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon got up. He didn't slow down until he was about thirty or forty meters away from the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon and looked back to observe its status information.

·

In the last round of fighting, Jiang Ran first deliberately stood in a specific position so that the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, himself and the stone pillar were all in the same straight line.

Then, he cleverly used smoke bombs and arrows to create trouble for the Scarlet Flame Dragon, successfully making it crash into the stone pillar at the highest speed, smashing the stone pillar and causing it to suffer 476 points of collision damage!

Afterwards, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon fell from the air to the ground, suffering another 133 points of impact damage!

After that, Jiang Ran's poisonous dagger attacks dealt about 2 to 3 points of damage with each strike, reducing the Scarlet Flame Dragon's vitality by a total of 42 points. However, this was only incidental. Jiang Ran's real purpose was to poison the Scarlet Flame Dragon.

With more than ten attacks, each attack has a 30% chance of poisoning the enemy. Based on the mathematical expectation, Jiang Ran expects that at least two to three layers of poison BUFF can be stacked.

However, after observing for a few seconds, Jiang Ran was disappointed to find that he had not even applied a layer of poison.

(No way... Dragons actually have such high poison resistance?)

Jiang Ran found it hard to accept, but this was the only reasonable explanation.

So strong, worthy of being a dragon.

It's really hard to endure. A one-on-one battle across 30 levels is so difficult.

The only geographical advantage that could be utilized was gone;

All the strategies that we racked our brains to come up with failed one after another;

Even his own physical condition was only half alive;

The Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon, having suffered a heavy blow, stood up again as if nothing had happened;

The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, and death was approaching step by step, but Jiang Ran was not desperate at all. Instead, he became even more excited.

He could now understand why this trial required him to "face his fear."

Facing fear means accepting your own timidity. Cowardice is not terrible. People should admit their timidity and then let it guide them to find hope of turning defeat into victory in desperate situations.

Indeed, Jiang Ran was still afraid of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon. If he faced it head-on, he probably wouldn't last more than 10 seconds.

However, the way Jiang Ran looked at the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon had changed. The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon was no longer a ferocious predator, but a dangerous prey.

Jiang Ran was happy that he could meet such a powerful enemy. This flying crimson flame dragon that could fly through the sky and into the ground was leading him to a stronger realm!

(Come on, Scarlet Flame Dragon, I will surpass you!)

·

On the endless wasteland, the Crimson Flame Dragon stood up again from the rubble. It finally realized that it had underestimated this human. From this moment on, it would use all its strength to defeat this opponent.

As for Jiang Ran, he drank one bottle of antidote and threw away the remaining nine bottles; he only kept one of the two quivers hanging on his waist.

In the next battle, Jiang Ran wants to take his flexibility to the next level.

The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon once again made the familiar preparatory movements that Jiang Ran was familiar with. It raised its head proudly, but this time, the red light warning was no longer a radial pattern spreading out from the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, but only a straight line heading straight towards Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran immediately started running diagonally, and the red light warning kept following his position.

Three seconds later, Jiang Ran suddenly changed direction and turned to fly. Then, a fireball flew past the place where he had just stood at an extremely fast speed.

As expected, an attack that flies in a straight line must be a fireball.

Before Jiang Ran stood up, the red light warning appeared again, and the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's desire to attack had increased to a higher level.

High-speed flying fireballs came one after another, and Jiang Ran, with the help of the red light warning, kept dodging by running back and forth in random directions.

After firing thirteen fireballs in a row, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon finally stopped temporarily. Jiang Ran took the opportunity to throw three smoke bombs at it in one breath, and then when the smoke bombs took effect, he shot ten arrows rapidly from outside the smoke at the approximate position of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon's eyes!

Then, there was a furious dragon roar, and the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon flapped its wings, instantly blowing away the smoke. But at this time, two arrows were already stuck in its left eye.

The furious Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon rushed straight towards Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran prepared himself on the spot, and when the opportunity arose, he rolled sideways to avoid the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon's pounce. Then, he stood up and drew out the Black Sword Yanju to slash at it!

The scorching sword blade successfully cut through the scales on the legs of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon. With this attack, Jiang Ran caused 19 points of damage to it. However, Jiang Ran was not greedy. He immediately retreated and saw the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon sweeping across on the spot, with its thick tail almost swung past Jiang Ran's nose!

During the move, Jiang Ran was unable to stand firmly and was blown to the ground by the wind caused by the sweeping Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon.

Upon seeing this, Feiyan Feilong immediately stood up and pounced. Jiang Ran rolled sideways on the spot following the momentum of the fall and successfully circled to the left side of Feiyan Feilong - this was exactly the blind spot that Feiyan Feilong's left eye could not see.

In a flash, Jiang Ran stabbed a sword into the belly of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon. The Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, in great pain, raised its head high, and a large amount of magic power gathered in its throat...!

At the moment of life and death, Jiang Ran did not retreat, but instead risked his life!

(Hashrate boost and overclocking!)

"Blue Flame Horse!"

Relying on the deceleration effect brought by overclocking, Jiang Ran pulled out the Black Sword Flame Horse from the belly of the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon with a horizontal slash, and also released a "Blue Flame Horse" at the same time, making full use of time!

Then, in the last 0.1 second of the three-second countdown of the red light warning, Jiang Ran used the "Shadow Escape Step" to his limit and escaped to the shadow of the rubble pillar nine meters away.

As soon as Jiang Ran's feet touched the ground, the deafening roar of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon resounded throughout the trial space, shocking him so much that he fell to his knees, unable to move.

However, although his body was temporarily unable to move, Jiang Ran's will was still burning.

With a powerful willpower, Jiang Ran saw the blue-flaming steed emerge from the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon's body. This strike of the "Blue Flame Horse" within the dragon's body caused a massive 1987 points of damage! (4086-1987/4791)

5.35 - Dragon Slaying Technique

However, while severely damaging the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon, Jiang Ran himself was also damaged by the Dragon's Roar by 74 points because he was too close to it. The remaining 90 points of health were like a candle in the wind.

If "death" has a shape, then in Jiang Ran's eyes at this moment, it is definitely the appearance of the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon.

If Jiang Ran wants to cause threatening damage to the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon, he must fight it in close combat.

However, when the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon roared, Jiang Ran had no way of running to a safe area within three seconds. Even if he used the "Shadow Escape Step", he could only teleport to a distance of 10 meters at most, and there had to be a shadow there.

However, if he chose to fight the Scarlet Flame Flying Dragon from a distance for safety, Jiang Ran would be the first to run out of stamina, which would be an even more hopeless dead end.

Among all the strategies Jiang Ran could foresee, none of them could allow him to survive.

To Jiang Ran, the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon is death itself.
