Chapter 104: Together, We Can
Chapter 104: Together, We Can
"I'll do it!" After hearing Li Qian's analysis, everyone's eyes lit up, and Chu Jianghe immediately volunteered.
"No, not just you, but none of us six Overlord-level Beastmasters can do it. We've already posed a threat to this Dragon Bull, and it won't let us pass without a fierce counterattack," Iron Elder shook his head, expressing his opinion.
"Let's give it a try," Chu Jianghe said unwillingly.
After saying this, with the others holding back the beast, he took action and quietly approached.
"Be careful," Li Qian said as the Dragon Bull's gaze suddenly shifted towards Chu Jianghe, and he immediately warned.
"Retreat!" Chu Jianghe was also decisive. Seeing that the Dragon Bull had noticed his actions, he didn't hesitate to retreat.
Boom!
Just as Chu Jianghe retreated, a huge, crimson energy sphere shot straight towards him, hitting the spot he had just been standing.
"Phew!" Chu Jianghe narrowly avoided the attack, he couldn't help but sigh in relief. It was too dangerous; if it weren't for Li Qian's reminder and his quick retreat, he might have been buried in that crimson energy sphere.
"Iron Elder, your analysis is correct. I'm afraid none of us six can get past it!" Chu Jianghe avoided the attack and felt both relief and deep frustration.
"Although the Dragon Bull is a beast without much rationality, it doesn't mean it's unaware of danger. On the contrary, its perception is very sharp, especially when someone tries to approach its weak spot. This is not intelligence but an extraordinary creature's instinct. The stronger the creature, the stronger this instinct. So, we six can't get through," Iron Elder nodded in agreement and added an explanation.
As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xiran, Zhu Bingqing, and Niu Fenjin.
The six of them posed a threat to the Dragon Bull, so the hope naturally fell on the remaining three.
As for Li Qian, he didn't even consider him.
He was a talented cultivator that Shazhou Beastmaster University had spent a lot to recruit, and they wouldn't risk him.
"Maybe I should give it a try..." Niu Fenjin hesitated, lacking confidence.
According to Iron Elder, if the six of them couldn't get through, then only the remaining three, Li Qian, and a group of people from the Security Bureau were left.
Li Qian was still a high school student and not directly involved in this matter, so there was no reason to put him in danger. As for Zhu Bingqing and Chu Xiran, they were girls.
As for the Security Bureau group, aside from Director Peng Zhongyan, the others had limited strength, and even Director Peng Zhongyan could only watch.
Even if they went in, they might not be of much help.
So, after considering everyone, the most suitable person was him!
"Can you do it?" Seeing Niu Fenjin's eagerness, Li Qian couldn't help but ask.
"Uh..." Niu Fenjin hesitated after hearing this, then turned and looked at Li Qian with a lost and confused expression, not quite understanding his intention.
"The Dragon Bull is an Imperial-grade extraordinary creature and a beast. Even if we find its weakness, it might become alert, and we may not get a second chance," Li Qian sighed, not wanting to discourage Niu Fenjin but feeling the need to emphasize the seriousness.
His words plunged the group into silence.
After a moment's thought, they all understood that Li Qian's concerns were justified.
The opportunity was rare, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and they couldn't afford to act recklessly. They needed a foolproof plan.
"I..." Niu Fenjin, who was already a bit hesitant, had no choice but to step forward due to the circumstances. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly hesitated again.
After some consideration, he had to admit that he didn't have a hundred percent confidence in striking the Dragon Bull's weakness.
"I'll go!" Seeing Niu Fenjin's spirit suddenly waver, Chu Xiran understood his lack of confidence and stepped forward without hesitation.
"My Tundra Wolf has recovered its strength well, and with the Ice Lineage's inherent advantage over the Dragon Lineage, I should be able to strike the Dragon Bull's weakness." Perhaps to convince the others, she continued to speak.
Hearing Chu Xiran's volunteering, the group fell silent once more, clearly still feeling uncertain.
For a moment, an eerie silence enveloped the site.
"Roar~!" Just then, the Dragon Bull roared again, launching an energy sphere that soared into the sky.
Although it didn't hit anyone, its terrifying aura still made the group flinch.
They could clearly see that the Dragon Bull's entire head was exposed, and even a large part of its neck was visible.
"We can't wait any longer!" Li Qian shook his head.
"Actually, there's someone even more suitable here, and that person is me!" He pointed at his nose and then spoke with feigned nonchalance.
Ultimately, it was a matter of helplessness.
If given a choice, he'd never volunteer for such a task.
The Dragon Bull was an Imperial-grade Extraordinary Creature, and even with unrestricted attacks on its weakness, it might not sustain severe injuries.
Failure would lead to unimaginable consequences.
"I can bring the Eight Frostfire Salamanders into the Unstable Rift, and their combined strike will be a formidable force." Li Qian continued.
He had one more thing to say, but he didn't voice it.
The power was certainly not comparable to Chu Xiran's Tundra Wolf.
However, considering that this might be discouraging, he chose to remain silent.
The Dragon Bull's formidable power and destructive capabilities were well-known. If it broke through the Unstable Rift, the entire Ling Shui City would face an unimaginably devastating catastrophe.
But when comparing this foreseeable disaster to Li Qian's risk, it was hard to determine which was lighter and which was heavier.
"You don't need to worry. I'm confident in my suggestion." Li Qian noticed the group's dilemma and smiled faintly, "On the surface, I'm the weakest, making me less noticeable!"
"I'll go with you, and together, we'll have a better chance!" Chu Xiran didn't stop Li Qian but prepared to fight side by side with determination.
