Chapter 16 is finally in hand.
As Qi Xiyue stared blankly at the mountain dragon, she suddenly felt someone speaking in her ear.
Looking back, I saw Lin Que's handsome and refined face.
It turned out that at the critical moment, Lin Que sensed something was wrong and immediately activated his spiritual energy to rush forward, fortunately managing to rescue the person first.
Any later and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"No...it's nothing! Thank you for saving me." As Qi Xiyue spoke, she suddenly felt some discomfort in her lower back.
Looking down, a slight blush rose on her beautiful cheeks, and her voice trembled with shyness as she said, "You...you...why don't you let go? How long are you going to keep holding me like this?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que realized that his hand had been wrapped around Qi Xiyue's slender waist the whole time.
He gave an awkward laugh and quickly let go of her hand.
A thought stirred within her, and she exclaimed: "Her waist is like a willow branch, so slender and graceful!"
At this moment, Qi Haoyue and his group also hurriedly ran up from behind.
Her voice was anxious: "Sis! Are you alright?"
Qi Xiyue hurriedly stood up and smoothed her somewhat disheveled clothes and hair.
He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Luckily, Lin Que saved me."
However, his expression still looked somewhat unnatural.
Lin Que pretended nothing had happened, but thankfully Qi Haoyue was worried about his sister's safety and didn't notice these small details.
After finding that he was unharmed, Qi Haoyue turned to Lin Que and expressed her gratitude, thankful that she had reacted in time.
......
"What should we do now? I never expected that this spiritual herb would be guarded by a fifth-tier ferocious beast."
"No wonder we haven't encountered a single ferocious beast today. It turns out that the oppressive aura of this fifth-tier mountain dragon has kept the lower-tier ferocious beasts from showing their faces."
Lin Que and his group looked at each other, gazing at the mountain dragon and the spiritual herb in the distance.
He was considering whether to take the risk. Although there was a fifth-tier ferocious beast around, the rewards would be huge if he succeeded.
"It's still too dangerous, should we give up?"
At this point, some people in the team started to back out.
"What do you say?" Qi Haoyue looked at Lin Que and said, "I don't want to give up, after all, it's right in front of us."
Lin Que stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then gave his answer.
"I don't want to give up like this, let's give it a try."
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a burning desire in each other's eyes. Lin Que was also slightly excited, as if he were not afraid at all about preparing to fight a fifth-tier ferocious beast.
The reason is that Lin Que has always wanted to test how far he can go when he goes all out.
Unfortunately, it hadn't been able to be detected in previous battles. The highest-ranking ferocious beast we had encountered before was that third-tier earth python.
Qi Haoyue was a reckless man.
Afterwards, a group of people decided whether or not to take the risk by raising their hands to indicate their approval or disapproval.
The result was unsurprisingly that the majority favored taking the risk, since it's better to gamble than to gain nothing.
Next, the group began to devise a strategy, outlining how to coordinate and who would go to pick the fruit.
Since most of the team members used bows and arrows, and only Lin Que used a sword, Qi Haoyue made the following arrangements after some discussion.
"We are drawing the attack from a distance. Since the distance is controllable, there is no need to worry about our safety."
"Lin Que, find the right time to sneak over there and collect that Resurrection Grass."
Lin Que replied, "I'm fine!"
"Alright! Let's get ready and get started!"
As they prepared to begin, Qi Xiyue taught Lin Que some picking techniques, then said with a worried expression, "Be careful! If it doesn't work, come back."
Lin Que returned a reassuring look.
action!
Qi Haoyue and his group, in the distance, drew their bows, nocked arrows, and began to draw their arrows.
"That mountain dragon's scales were too thick; everyone was aiming at its head."
"put!"
At a command, dozens of arrows enveloped in spiritual energy shot out.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!"
As the sounds of air being torn apart rang out, the mountain dragon began to react.
"Roar!"
The mountain dragon roared and swept out with its tail, knocking down all the incoming arrows.
Qi Haoyue didn't expect to succeed on the first try, so he ordered his men to spread out to different locations and continue firing arrows.
As wave after wave of arrows flew, the mountain dragon grew somewhat annoyed. Its eyes gleamed as it stared at the ant-like crowd, and it began to gather its strength.
However, what the mountain dragon didn't notice was that a figure was silently approaching not far away, its gaze completely drawn to a group of what it considered to be ants.
"Attention! Spread out and take cover!"
Qi Haoyue shouted, and everyone scattered.
"puff!"
As the sound rang out, the mountain dragon spat out a stream of deep blue icy breath!
The icy breath shot out towards Qi Haoyue, but fortunately, he reacted in time and rolled away to avoid being hit.
The icy breath struck the ground, covering all the flowers, grass, and soil with a thick layer of ice. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone, otherwise, this attack would definitely have been quite painful.
Seeing that the ice breath was not working, the mountain dragon became even more furious!
With a roar, it raised its claws and charged towards the ants.
Qi Haoyue glanced at Lin Que's position and decisively directed everyone to slowly retreat while maintaining a suitable distance.
To keep the distance between the mountain dragon and the others from getting too close or too far, the arrows in his hands kept flying out.
Just as everyone was drawing the mountain dragon's attention, Lin Que finally circled around to the front of the spirit herb, and at this moment, he was also excited.
After glancing back at the positions of the mountain dragon and the others, he began to carefully dig and harvest.
After much effort, the spiritual herbs were finally cleared out.
Looking at the silvery-white grass in my hand that emitted a white light, I couldn't help but feel admiration.
"Lin Que, watch out!!!"
Just as Lin Que was putting the spirit herb into a special box and preparing to put it back in his pocket, he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him!
He quickly turned around and saw that the mountain dragon's eyes were full of anger as it turned and rushed towards Lin Que!
It turned out that the mountain dragon, sensing the sudden disappearance of the spiritual herb's aura, turned around and saw this scene.
Lin Que hurriedly put the box back into his arms, rolled to the side, and took out the long sword from his back to prepare to fight back.
Looking around, Lin Que knew he couldn't escape; the mountain dragon had already reached him.
Qi Haoyue and his group continued to shoot arrows, but the mountain dragon paid no attention, its two scarlet eyes fixed only on Lin Que.
Lin Que dared not be careless, and secretly gathered his strength while holding his long sword.
Finally, the mountain dragon swept its tail across.
"boom!"
The speed was too fast. At such close range, Lin Que had no time to dodge and was swept away along with his sword.
"Wow!"
Lin Que crashed into a tree and came to a stop, spitting out a mouthful of blood and looking rather weak.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was startled. Qi Xiyue covered her mouth with both hands and stared wide-eyed, her eyes filled with unbearable pity.
"Lin Que, Lin Que, are you alright?!"
Qi Haoyue shouted loudly and ordered everyone to fire arrows at the mountain dragon in an attempt to make it change its target.
"I'm fine!"
Lin Que used his sword to support himself, a mad glint flashing in his eyes as he stared at the mountain dragon.
Since you want to kill me, then come on!
Sword drawn! Qi gathered! All done in one fluid motion!
They charged towards the mountain dragon!
Azure Lotus Sword Technique, Azure Lotus Pierces the Sky!
A delicate lotus flower bloomed in the air! A sword pierced the mountain dragon's head.
The sword strike was quite powerful, and it finally managed to wound the mountain dragon's skin. After successfully striking, Lin Que immediately retreated.
The mountain dragon, in pain, became even more frenzied! It launched a fierce attack on Lin Que, its tail thrashing wildly.
Lin Que had no choice but to focus on dodging, and was unable to launch an effective counterattack.
Gradually, Lin Que also began to feel physically exhausted. He thought to himself that he couldn't continue like this. Even if he wasn't killed by the mountain dragon, he would eventually be worn down to death.
With a fierce determination, he shouted to the group behind the mountain dragon, "I'll continue to draw its attention. Concentrate your arrows and follow my instructions. Don't hold back, shoot them all at the mountain dragon's left eye. Its eye is vulnerable and is its weak point!"
Upon hearing Lin Que's shout, Qi Haoyue immediately directed everyone to aim at the mountain dragon's left eye.
Since the mountain dragon's gaze was fixed on Lin Que, Lin Que quickly ran to the left of the mountain dragon, exposing its left eye to face the crowd.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Que shouted!
"put!"
"咻咻咻~~~"
A rain of arrows enveloped in spiritual energy shot towards the mountain dragon's left eye. Following Lin Que's instructions, Qi Haoyue and the others dared not hold back and used all their spiritual energy to fire this last arrow.
As Lin Que watched the rain of arrows shoot out, he also leaped high into the air, draining his spiritual energy and unleashing it wildly!
Whether it succeeds or not depends on this strike, although it is still very skillful.
His eyes sharpened! The longsword in his hand became a blur, and a blue lotus, even larger than before, appeared behind Lin Que!
The longsword was enveloped in a blue aura, and the man transformed into a bolt of lightning, swiftly thrusting towards the mountain dragon's right eye at such a speed that it was almost invisible to the naked eye!
The second move of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique!
The blue lotus is in bloom!
Arrow Rain and Lin Que arrived almost at the same time. Arrow Rain shot towards the left eye, and a sword stabbed towards the right eye!
"Pfft!"
Simultaneous impact! The longsword, carrying the azure lotus sword energy, pierced through the right eye and also penetrated the mountain dragon's head. Azure lotus bloomed and shone brightly behind the mountain dragon's head.
This was combined with the gushing blood of the mountain dragon.
Elegant yet alluringly seductive.
The people around were so shocked by the swordsmanship that they were speechless, their eyes wide open!
terror!
What terrifying swordsmanship!
The mountain dragon, in great pain, frantically shook its head, trying to shake off Lin Que.
Lin Que knew that this was a critical moment and he could not be left behind. He mustered his last bit of strength, gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and frantically thrust it in.
After struggling for a while, the mountain dragon knew it was powerless to change the situation. Finally, it used all its strength to slap Lin Que with one claw.
Lin Que was completely exhausted and could only watch helplessly as the giant claw hurtled towards him.
"boom!"
Lin Que was sent flying again.
"Wow!"
Blood kept spraying out of the air, and after crashing heavily to the ground, it felt like my internal organs were shifting.
After collapsing to the ground, he coughed up another mouthful of blood, and with his last breath, he looked up at the mountain dragon and saw that it had already fallen, dying with resentment in its eyes.
Once they came to their senses, everyone rushed forward frantically!
At this moment, Lin Que relaxed completely, slowly closed his eyes, and lost consciousness.
"Lin Que!!!"
As Lin Que gradually lost consciousness, he seemed to hear a poignant and beautiful cry...
