Chapter 88 The Chaos Groaner

Zheng Zha, Jin Xi, and Zhao Yingkong, as melee fighters, landed near the hiding place marked by Zhan Lan.

The helicopter hovered above them, with Yu Huatian remaining aboard as the surgeon for the "King of Veins." The other new recruits each wielded a Gauss sniper rifle.

The surrounding trees were being destroyed by a dense hail of bullets, and the Vein King seized the opportunity to create a good shooting angle.

The Black Eclipse Dragon has not appeared, presumably because it is currently in its most critical phase...

"Transformation..."

Zheng Zha felt that this was also a transformation for him.

This is the first time he has led a team to complete a mission!

We failed to protect the newcomers before... This time, we must bring everyone back safely!
It must have been a backup plan left behind by the Black Dragon during its metamorphosis; a pair of fire dragons acted as its guards.

It popped out then, flying around, which was really annoying.

But before the Great King of the Veins, they were still no match for him. Zheng Zha and Jin Xi intervened slightly, and the fire dragon couple could only hold out for a few breaths before being shot down by a hail of bullets.

Then, under the saturation attack of the Gauss sniper rifle, they both met their demise.

"Technological weapons are still so effective. I really don't know what the Supreme God is thinking."

Seeing that the game was going so smoothly, Zheng Zha strode forward with a carefree attitude.

"Be careful……"

Jinxi signaled to him not to let his guard down.

Zhao Yingkong sniffed, her assassin's training making her very perceptive of her surroundings.

This is... a tremor!
[Defeat the Heavenly Returning Dragon. Quest completion reward: 2 C-rank side quests for the entire team, 4000 reward points. No penalty for quest failure.]

Zheng Zha suddenly received a notification from the Supreme God.

This means that their number one enemy has completed its transformation!

"So fast?"

Zheng Zha had a bad feeling; only five or six hours had passed since he entered the horror movie.

The Black Eclipse Dragon, which was previously beaten half to death, has already completed its evolution?
Zheng Zha sensed the presence of the Supreme God's powerful hand.

He looked up and saw that the Heavenly Returning Dragon had spread its rainbow-colored wings and was flying in the air, its posture reflecting the pure white moonlight, resembling a halo.

"Such speed... Can Fang Ge handle it?"

Regardless, the Black Devouring Dragon that has yet to appear has already become a [loser].

Should we retreat? Or kill it here?
The Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon is also one of the culprits of the beast tide. Will waiting for it to die naturally increase the variables?

"Ow!"

There was a mixture of anger and sorrow in his howls.

There was no time for Zheng Zha to continue thinking; the dark figure had already appeared in front of him.

The Black Eclipse Dragon's metamorphosis is a process similar to molting, and it is currently only halfway complete and is still ongoing.

But it has no chance anymore. Once it gets its hands on the scales of the Heavenly Returning Dragon, its hard-won opportunity to transform will be completely cut off.

Zheng Zha could sense that there were already tiny cracks on its shell, and even the left half of its winged feet already showed traces of the Heavenly Returning Dragon.

The Black Dragon was like a heavy mountain; with each step it took, the earth trembled slightly, and its powerful aura made everyone feel uneasy.

The smoke and dust generated by the Mad Dragon virus is continuously released as it moves, and its concentration is extremely high, far exceeding that of the Mad Dragons themselves!

Zhao Yingkong took the initiative, unleashing more than a dozen sharp blades from her monomolecular sword, the dazzling light blades launching a surprise attack on the Black Corrosion Dragon.

The sharp edge grazed past the Black Corrosive Dragon, slicing through its hard, steel-like carapace and leaving a faint mark on its wing claws.

"Click~"

The outer layer crumbled off, revealing the platinum scales that had already grown underneath, so conspicuous in the dead of night!
It was stronger than its competitors and was closer to victory, but it was destroyed by these outsiders!

Jinxi pressed her advantage, her high-frequency longsword emitting invisible blades of energy, flickering and emanating like raging flames, sending chills down one's spine.

The Mad Dragon Virus enveloped the Black Devouring Dragon's entire body, flickering like flames.

It entered a frenzied dragon state, repeatedly unfolding and retracting its wings and feet. Its movements were somewhat uncoordinated, and its form was difficult to unify, giving people an awkward feeling.

Even so, the Black Devouring Dragon's ferocious physical strength still managed to throw Jinxi away, followed by spitting out three mouthfuls of sticky scale powder.

The dust exploded one after another, forcing Zhao Yingkong to quickly move sideways for more than ten meters.

As soon as the two stopped fighting, a barrage of firepower rained down from the sky. In the blink of an eye, countless bullets slammed into the Black Dragon, forcing it to use its wing claws to block.

The outer shell of the left wingtip kept peeling away, revealing incredibly tough white-gold scales that even a powerful weapon like the Gauss sniper rifle could only make tiny holes in!

Zheng Zha had been looking for the best opportunity.

Neither Jinxi nor Zhao Yingkong had a decisive means, but he did.

That is a state of destruction.

He quietly unlocked his genetic potential to the second level. The two energies instantly converged, fully merging and unleashing power ten or even a hundred times greater!

Huge energy fluctuations surged through his body like ocean waves.

Zheng Zha once again felt that his body was like a fragile piece of ceramic, as if it would be riddled with cracks at any moment due to a failed firing...

"destroy!"

A full-force burst, lasting only this one second.

Powerful energy flowed continuously between him and the symbiote, and the symbiote at his fist transformed into a giant hammerhead, radiating a dazzling light.

Zheng Zha transformed into lightning and soared into the sky. A fierce wind raged around him, accompanied by thunder.

The lightning struck the Black Corrosion Dragon's head in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a shrill roar, and a large amount of blood rained down from mid-air.

This punch caused the monster's massive body to fall to the ground.

But it failed to kill it!

The left half of the dragon's head cracked open, revealing that it had transformed into the shape of the Heavenly Returning Dragon. Even its tentacles had hardened, turning into dark golden dragon horns.

Incredibly hard!

Zheng Zha, forced to exit the state of destruction due to the intense burden, froze for a moment.

Then, it flipped over and swatted him away with one paw, sending him flying more than ten meters away!
"Ow!"

Even though it hadn't grown any eyes yet, a chilling red light emanated from its empty eye sockets.

The dark purple smoke emanates from the mountain peaks, gradually growing to the point of obscuring the sky over time.

Although it had no sight, it gazed at the night sky and let out a defiant roar.

Zheng Zha lay on the ground, feeling a sharp pain.

The backlash alone was one thing, but the Black Devouring Dragon's enraged attack was also incredibly powerful, no less so than the Golden Lion they had encountered before!
not good -

Swish!
At this moment, Jinxi, who had been silent for a long time, made her move.

Her once-white eyes were now tinged with a faint crimson; the so-called Mad Dragon Disease had already invaded her body.

The T-virus is no match for dysplasia; her immunity is still too low.

However... as a dragon, the amplification effect of the Mad Dragon Disease on her was even more pronounced.

With the force of splitting a mountain, she swung her long sword down at the other half of her unevolved body.

The dazzling blade light that cleaved out emitted a series of tearing sounds.

"Ow!"

The wounds further fueled the ferocity of the Chaos Black Corrosion Dragon.

Zhao Yingkong, who attempted a sneak attack from behind, met with disaster as the Black Corrosive Dragon swung its massive tail and slashed down from the sky.

"Oh!"

The enormous dragon tail slammed heavily into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.

When the smoke cleared, a huge ravine appeared, one zhang deep, two zhang wide, and nearly ten zhang long!

Zhao Yingkong's ability to deflect force is truly commendable; the vast majority of the force did not hit her.

Even so, she didn't know how far she flew before she fainted.

Fang Ge's backup plan began to work, working together with the symbiote to keep her alive.

It's that same predicament again; he can't deal instant-kill damage to the monster.

The damage the monster inflicted on him and his teammates, even if not fatal, was still severe enough to render them unable to fight.

Think about what Fang Ge would do...

Zheng Zha has always admired Fang Ge's way of thinking.

Thinking back carefully now... I can't recall any twists and turns.

That person's thought process—no, it shouldn't be called a thought process. He simply had a goal and was working to achieve it.

Just like the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Zheng Zha understood.

A cracking sound echoed in my subconscious.

He already has the answer.

First, regardless of whether you can live or die, make sure the other person dies.

Fang Ge only cares about the result.
