28: Kill with a borrowed knife and pick up bargains crazily!
Though the distance between Lin Wu and the Dragon was a kilometer, if he stopped for just three seconds, the Dragon would immediately catch up!
Lin Wu ran at an extremely fast pace.
“It’s a good thing I have the Godspeed Jade Talisman and Super Stamina.”
After running for a long time, Lin Wu showed no signs of fatigue; he didn't even pant.
At this moment, all the Vicious Beasts in the forest were agitated, forced to flee in all directions by the raging flames.
Many Vicious Beasts died, and even some examinees perished due to the Vicious Beasts' commotion!
The surviving examinees were all running for their lives.
Examinees who were just about to enter the forest were also terrified by this scene and scattered, running away.
“Holy crap, what the hell is that? Why is there a Dragon flying and breathing fire at the same time!”
“Whose subordinate is this talented individual? He actually dared to provoke a Rank 10 Vicious Beast.”
“They’re all talented individuals!”
Above the atmosphere.
The starship also detected the Darkborn Flame Dragon's unusual activity, and various reports were escalated.
And Lin Wu was still running!
While running, Lin Wu felt his stamina being depleted.
“I can run for fifty more kilometers at most before my stamina runs out. If I get caught then, it’ll be a bad outcome. I need to think of a way, at least to shake off this Dragon first!”
Lin Wu had a sudden idea.
“Logically speaking, I should have shaken off this Dragon a long time ago.”
“It’s because of this egg. Every time I’m about to shake it off, it releases Spirit fluctuations, attracting the mother Dragon…”
Lin Wu pondered for a moment.
“If I can put it in my backpack, it can block the Spirit fluctuations!”
“The System backpack has an isolation effect; it’s definitely feasible!”
Lin Wu immediately started to try, holding the Dragon egg in his hand and giving a command to the System!
The next second.
The Dragon egg disappeared!
“Good!”
Lin Wu was overjoyed!
Without the Spirit fluctuations, the Dragon's pursuit speed indeed slowed down.
Lin Wu immediately opened up a distance of several kilometers.
Looking back, he found that the Darkborn Flame Dragon hadn't lost its direction. Although it had lost the guidance of the Spirit fluctuations, it was still pressing on, relying on its sense of smell.
“Damn it!”
“I only got a breather; I haven’t shaken it off yet. After all, Dragons have a very strong sense of smell…”
Lin Wu realized he had reached the edge of the forest and would soon be out on the grassland!
“Either I keep running for three days, or I find a way to kill this Dragon.”
“My current strength is only a little over ten tons, while this Dragon is over sixty tons, a six-fold difference. Plus, I can't even break its defense.”
Lin Wu checked the map while thinking of a countermeasure.
Looking at the Vicious Beast packs on the nearby grassland… a bold idea suddenly sparked in Lin Wu’s mind!
“The Dragon egg is in my backpack. If I take it out, it will definitely chase after me.”
“But if I’m among other Vicious Beast packs and deliberately release Spirit fluctuations, will this Darkborn Flame Dragon then treat the other Vicious Beast packs as enemies…”
Lin Wu considered this possibility.
He then realized that this approach was entirely feasible.
“There are Rank 9 Vicious Beasts on the grassland. It would be great if they could fight to a mutual destruction!”
This move is called 'killing with a borrowed knife'!
Lin Wu's current strength can only challenge Rank 6 Vicious Beasts at most; anything above Rank 7 is unattainable.
If this move succeeds.
Lin Wu's Realm and strength would rapidly increase!
Thinking this, Lin Wu dashed towards the nearby grassland!
...Ten minutes later.
Lin Wu arrived at the Dark Enticement Grassland!
Indeed, many Vicious Beasts roamed this grassland.
However, most of them were of lower Rank.
Lin Wu didn't stop, running towards the strongest group of Vicious Beasts in the Dark Enticement Grassland!
After running for a few more kilometers.
He finally saw a Rank 9 Vicious Beast!
【Name: Overlord Mammoth】
【Rank: Rank 9 Vicious Beast】
【Entries: Mammoth Strength (Purple), Blood Qi Surge (Blue), Steel Skin (Blue), Territorial Awareness (White), Drowsiness (White)】
【Status: King of the Darkborn Mammoth pack, possesses strong territorial awareness, do not easily provoke.】
“Good, this is it!”
The Overlord Mammoth was still lying on the ground, sleeping, unaware of Lin Wu's sudden arrival.
Lin Wu then reached the Overlord Mammoth's feet at extreme speed, then extracted the Dragon egg from the System.
Spirit fluctuations spread out again!
And the Darkborn Flame Dragon, over ten kilometers away, received the distress signal. After a furious roar, it flew over at extreme speed.
The Darkborn Mammoths were all disturbed and gradually waking up!
Looking at the Darkborn Flame Dragon, which was only a few kilometers away.
Lin Wu directly put the Dragon egg back into the System.
Then he activated his flame ability, condensed a ball of fire, and slammed it directly onto the Overlord Mammoth's body!
“Wooo!!!”
A roar similar to an elephant's trumpeting rang out.
Lin Wu also took advantage of the moment before both sides noticed him, fleeing at extreme speed and hiding a few kilometers away to watch the show.
Before leaving, the reason he hit the Overlord Mammoth with fire was to make it mistakenly believe it was the Darkborn Flame Dragon's doing!
Seeing the Rank 10 Vicious Beast charging towards its pack, the Overlord Mammoth threatened with furious roars!
The Darkborn Flame Dragon responded with an equally furious roar.
The former wanted the latter to get out of its territory.
The latter wanted the former to return the egg.
One was talking about the city gate tower, the other about the hip bone!
Both sides had fiery tempers; one was fiercely protective of its offspring, the other had strong territorial awareness.
“Hurry up and fight, can you really tolerate this?” Lin Wu watched the show secretly from afar, enjoying the commotion.
Sure enough… the two sides started fighting!
The Darkborn Flame Dragon directly suppressed with its Dragon Flame breath, quickly scorching the Overlord Mammoth black.
But the latter was thick-skinned and tough, and the Dragon Flame breath didn't cause serious injury… The two then entered a state of close combat.
Although the Overlord Mammoth was known for its strength, it was only a Rank 9 Vicious Beast after all, and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The Darkborn Flame Dragon was also not having an easy time. Although its opponent's strength was inferior to its own, it could still inflict damage.
A few minutes later… as the Darkborn Flame Dragon's skill cooldown finished, it flew into the sky and used its Dragon Flame breath again!
The Overlord Mammoth could no longer hold on, collapsing to the ground and dying.
The other Darkborn Mammoths also fled, not daring to stay for another moment.
The Darkborn Flame Dragon searched the spot for a while, and after finding no trace, it flew into the sky and wailed.
Lin Wu no longer waited.
He immediately ran to the side of the Darkborn Mammoth!
He absorbed all but the two white entries!
【Mammoth Strength (Purple): The strength of an ordinary Darkborn Mammoth is only 20,000 kg, but as an Overlord Mammoth, its strength is as high as 40,000 kg!
Blood Qi Surge (Blue): The Overlord Mammoth's Blood Qi is even more powerful; after Fusion, you can gain 10,000 calories of Blood Qi!】
“As long as I fuse this trait, I’ll be able to contend with it a bit.”
Lin Wu didn't hesitate, directly fusing these two entries.
He then quickly fled the scene.
