Chapter 87 Setting up the Battlefield
"We knocked off the tentacles and shattered the wings of that Black Eclipse Dragon."

Fang Ge recalled the previous chase.

Wings are minor, but the tentacles will become the most important organ of the Elder Dragon after metamorphosis: horns.

Judging from the Monster Hunter games, unless an Elder Dragon is completely exhausted, its horns will not break.

When an ancient dragon's horn is destroyed, it often loses some of its abilities.

"It needs to expend a lot of energy to repair its body, but it must also transform as quickly as possible because of the molting race."

"If it can become a Tianhui Dragon, it will definitely be considered a premature baby with relatively weak individual values."

One piece of intelligence that Chu Xuan brought out can be put to use right now.

That is, nuclear weapons will promote the high-energy transformation of the mutation region.

The Black Eclipse Dragons are currently in a race to metamorphose, and anything that can accelerate their metamorphosis is crucial to them.

Individuals who would otherwise likely fail in the competition can completely turn the tide with the help of the Central Continent Team!

"Zhan Lan, use high-precision straight-line scanning to confirm which one is the individual we harmed before."

"After confirming the situation, Chu Xuan used nuclear bombs to bombard the area around it... We must not harm it."

"Luo Gandao, move towards the highest mountain nearby, then leave me, Chu Xuan, and Zhan Lan behind and prepare the battlefield in advance!"

Fang Ge's precise commands got the Zhongzhou team up and running again.

"What about me?" Zheng Zha asked hastily, not having heard anything about his own arrangements.

“Your smile was too ugly just now, so I’ve decided to have you go first.”

Fang Ge looked Zheng Zha up and down, and that look made Zheng Zha very uncomfortable.

"You will temporarily serve as the captain of the Central Continent Team, leading the remaining team members to attack and subdue another Black Eclipse Dragon."

"As for whether you can kill it before it transforms into a Chaos Groaner, that depends on your abilities... Objectively speaking, once it transforms into a Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, its life is already on a countdown. If necessary, we can retreat and deal with it slowly."

"Me? Me?"

Zheng Zha was stunned upon hearing this, seemingly finding it unbelievable. He asked in return:

"Without you, Chu Xuan, and Zhan Lan, how can I make decisions on my own?"

"Yes, it's you. The team will inevitably split into smaller groups in the future, and with your strong interpersonal skills and high combat ability, you're the best candidate..."

Fang Ge really wanted to add the phrase "only performs tasks that don't require brainpower" as a qualifier.

However, this person already had a bunch of B-level enhancements on him, and he was also a Saintly Body for unlocking.

Who knows when the third stage of the gene lock will be unlocked? If we can simulate Zhan Lan's way of thinking at that time, we might still have some wisdom.

As for why it's a simulation of Zhan Lan...

Because Zheng Zha couldn't simulate Chu Xuan's way of thinking, and Fang Ge's own way of thinking...

Thinking about this, Fang Ge suddenly had a mischievous idea.

"As the acting captain, you must learn to think like a captain. Jinxi will also assist you from the side... When necessary, try to think about what I would do."

What do you think Fang Ge would do?
Zheng Zha nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

The last time I had this idea was when I defeated that Golden Lion and led the new recruits to the air-raid shelter.

The state was strange; the brain, which should have no senses, would produce a kind of itchy feeling.

—I hope he can really unlock the gene lock, so that I'll have a better chance of using the Seven Demon Blades of Heaven.

Looking at Zheng Zha, who was deep in thought, Fang Ge wondered if the seed she had planted would sprout.

He strode quickly to the driver's seat, patted the boy's shoulder with his large hand, almost making the boy jump.

Why do you look so anxious? How much longer will it take?

"Uh……"

Feeling guilty, Luo Gandao hesitated for a moment before saying:
"We're not driving very fast right now, it should take about two more minutes."

"Although this is the safest place, it's always best to be cautious."

Fang Ge casually reminded him, "The lives of so many people on the helicopter are closely connected to yours. It's normal to be nervous at your age."

"Yes...yes..." Luo Gandao blinked, wondering when the leader could leave. Only after Fang Ge was called away by Zhan Lan did Li Shuaixi whisper to Luo Gandao:
"Now is your chance to prove yourself, don't make a mistake. Otherwise, I'll be the first to punish you."

"I'm not stupid."

Luo Gandao curled his lips. Now that his life was tied to everyone else's, he certainly wouldn't have any wicked thoughts.

"You've been watching for so long, you must have figured it out by now, right?"

"You talk as if you can drive without me teaching you," Li Shuaixi said.

Mount Blanca, with an altitude of 4365 meters, is visible from several kilometers away and dominates the entire natural landscape.

Presumably, this is the peak that the future Heavenly Dragon has chosen for its grand feast.

Otherwise, it is inexplicable that two Black Devouring Dragons about to undergo metamorphosis would be so close together.

Fang Ge, Chu Xuan, and Zhan Lan jumped off the helicopter and landed steadily on the mountaintop using the Mark 5.

"The terrain is so strange, such high mountains, yet it's still a tropical rainforest..."

Zhan Lan felt that things didn't make any sense.

"Let's put aside the scenery for now. Can we confirm which Black Eclipse Dragon is our old friend?"

Faced with Fang Ge's question, the capable wife Zhan Lan had already prepared an answer:
"The one to the east has weaker energy fluctuations; it should be it... Should we wait here for it to come after it completes its evolution?"

Fang Ge chuckled and said, "Of course, but we have to disguise ourselves well... You two can't be exposed, I'll deal with it by myself."

“…I will keep my promise.” Zhan Lan’s hands unconsciously tightened.

"What promise?"

"...I'm too lazy to care about you."

I will deliver a genius performance for you and for the team, and the stars in the sky can bear witness.

So please, for me and for the team, become a hero of Central Continent.

Zhan Lan knew that next would be the time for the Star Child.

……

Chu Xuan paid no attention to the playful couple.

Under his arrangement, nuclear bombs exploded one after another.

All the miniature nuclear bombs carried by the Central Continent Team were deployed in this operation.

A sun-like ray of light burst forth on the ground, but no reward points were earned.

As expected, this was not the way the Supreme God approved of killing enemies.

This made Chu Xuan feel even more strongly that Fang Ge's decision was truly correct.

If Chu Xuan were to formulate the plan.

He will definitely throw out a large number of high-energy internal energy crystals as bait, and the Black Erosion Dragon, which wants to evolve as soon as possible, will definitely not be able to resist the temptation.

Once Black Eclipse Dragons encounter each other, there is a greater than 50% chance that they will fight each other. There is even a 30% chance that one of them will die on the spot.

Then, the Central Continent team can reap the benefits.

However, Fang Ge would never make a mistake, and even if he did... it would only mean that this is not the correct timeline.

Perhaps he was too short-sighted, only able to see this match, or the next match, or the match after that, which is why he made such an arrangement.

Fang Ge may have reached the final battle more than once... and even won.

But they never found the perfect ending.

Chu Xuan silently inscribed a massive alchemy array, attempting to transform this place into the best stage.

Could it be this time?

It's impossible to know for sure, but I imagine that having developed feelings for him, I would agree with everything he did.

Because... Fang Ge is truly protecting everything.
