Chapter 467, High-Stakes Gamble, Huge Profit
by SilavinTranslator: Silavin
Due to the Skill, Fury of All Dragons , Lu Fan had not only depleted his own stamina, but also exhausted all of his Pet Dragons’ energy. Fury of All Dragons was a Skill that combined the power of all his Pet Dragons – to launch a single strike.
After launching this attack, Lu Fan and his Pet Dragons would have all their energy completely drained, temporarily losing all combat capabilities.
In truth, Lu Fan had already lost all his strength to fight after severely injuring the Devouring Dragon King in that last attack. If she had not begged for mercy, Lu Fan would have found it very difficult to continue fighting.
Fortunately, Lu Fan managed to maintain his Silver Dragon Form, intimidating her and gaining the upper hand in negotiations.
If she had acted without regard for her own life, determined to fight Lu Fan to the death, Lu Fan would definitely have used his Random Teleport Scroll to escape.
After all, Fury of All Dragons only allowed Lu Fan to launch a single strike. At the beginning, he had already unleashed a Dragon Breath to counter the Devouring Dragon King’s short blades.
This single Dragon Breath had already drained about 30% of all the power within Lu Fan.
Later, Lu Fan released the remaining 70% of his power, all at once, leaving only a sliver of strength to maintain his Silver Dragon Form.
The result was exactly as Lu Fan had predicted – the 70% power of the Fury of All Dragons had not managed to kill the Devouring Dragon King, so Lu Fan had no choice but to put up a strong front, using his appearance as a Silver Dragon to try and intimidate her.
Fortunately, the Devouring Dragon King did not know that he could only launch that final attack in his Silver Dragon Form. She thought Lu Fan could unleash another Dragon Breath, which was why she begged for mercy to save her own life.
After everything, Lu Fan was confident in saying that he could not have killed her, no matter what tactic he had used.
And now, not only had he completed the Night Terror Mission, but he had also captured her as his Pet Dragon and had been promised an Armoured Earth Dragon King Egg. This was an absolute windfall!
This whole situation was no different from Lu Fan had kept raising the stakes with his terrible hand of cards, forcing his opponent to fold due to nervousness – abandoning millions in the pot and running away. His boldness, and recklessness, had actually paid off. It could not have been any more satisfying.
Lu Fan thought that it was fortunate she had fallen into a dormant state. Otherwise, if she saw how weak he actually was, she would most likely have fainted from anger.
However, now was not the time for Lu Fan to gloat.
Because as his Silver Dragon Form dissolved and his Pet Dragons’ stamina was exhausted, all having returned to the Pet Sub-Space to rest, Lu Fan was not faring any better. He was in terrible condition.
The most direct manifestation of weakness was how the Dragon Domain had completely collapsed, and Lu Fan had returned to the bottom of Dragon Fall Valley.
At the bottom of Dragon Fall Valley, there was a pool of poison, created from the carcass of a Hell Poison Dragon King. Here, the poison was applying a constant 50% Debuff on Lu Fan!
If Xiao Cui were here, it would be fine – Lu Fan could have her Cleanse his Debuffs.
The key problem was that Xiao Cui’s Avatar was greyed out, meaning she could not be summoned.
As Lu Fan’s body fell from mid-air, and was about to drop into the pool of poison, he hurriedly used what little stamina he had to take out the Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King’s Bone Wings.
Fortunately, he managed to do so, and the wings supported him, carrying him away from above the pool of poison.
The Fallen Corpse Holy Dragon King’s Bone Wings was an extra equipment for flight. So, it hardly consumed any stamina. However, Lu Fan’s condition was too horrendous. He could not remain in the air for long.
So, Lu Fan dared not delay – he flew unsteadily to a huge rock and lay down facing the sky, taking big gulps of air to recover.
From the pool of poison, poisonous gas constantly rose up.
When this poisonous gas was inhaled by Lu Fan, it made his lungs feel like they were burning, and various Debuffs appeared on him one after another.
However, because he had 50% Resistance, and the poison in the gas was far less potent than that of the poison liquid itself, although Lu Fan had Debuffs applied to him, it was not too life-threatening, and he was not in an urgent situation to have them Cleansed.
Lu Fan simply ignored the weak poisonous gas, found various potions that Ye Wuxian had given him from his Inventory, poured them into his mouth. Now, he only needed to quietly wait for his stamina to recover.
With his strong Physique nourished by Dragon Bloodline, Lu Fan recovered extremely quickly. In just about half an hour, he was full of vitality again.
At the same time, on Lu Fan’s Pet Panel, the Avatars of his Pet Dragons lit up one by one, proving that they were recovering just as quickly.
The Fury of All Dragons Skill was indeed very powerful, with the Silver Dragon’s strike being even more powerful than a potential Four Billion Neutron Star Annihilation.
However, the after-effects were obvious, requiring half an hour for him to recover and be able to fight again.
[In the future, if I am not confident in killing the enemy with this Skill, I can never use it.]
Lu Fan did not let his other Pet Dragons come out. He wanted them to continue to rest. However, some needed to help him. He first summoned Xiao Cui to help Cleansed the accumulated Poison Debuff Effects, and then summoned Ji Ji.
“Ji Ji, do you see this pool of poison? All the poison in it is yours. Go absorb everything and see how many Levels you can gain.”
“Jijiji!!” Hearing these words, Ji Ji was obviously very excited. When they first arrived here, she had already been drooling over this pool of poison.
However, at that time, the Devouring Dragon King was still a life-threatening enemy, so Ji Ji did not have time to ‘feast’.
And now, with the enemy gone and Lu Fan ordering her to absorb the poison, how could she not be excited?
Almost as soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, Ji Ji rushed out like an unleashed wild dog chasing a bone. She plunged headfirst into the pool of poison, and then like a dolphin, glided through the pool of poison, absorbing all the poison.
Seeing this, Lu Fan smiled knowingly, quietly waiting for Ji Ji to absorb all the poison here before they headed back.
He had already Completed the Night Terror Mission, and had helped Ji Ji collect many types of poison. It could be considered a perfect success.
Now, it remained to be seen how many Levels Ji Ji could gain from this pool of poison.
Soon, three days passed.
Finally, the bottom of Dragon Fall Valley was empty, without a trace of poison inside.
Ji Ji laid on her back, belching with satisfaction, her belly round and swollen, looking as though she was ‘drunk with pleasure’.
Although Ji Ji was originally not that large, she had expanded more than three times compared to three days ago, which surprised Lu Fan.
Lu Fan had originally thought that this pool of poison would take Ji Ji about a day to absorb and would raise her to Level 30 at most.
However, he seemed to have underestimated what a carcass of a Dragon King represented.
Not only did Ji Ji spend three days absorbing it all, her Level also rose rapidly, now reaching as high as Level 48! This little one had surpassed her Brothers and Sisters, equalling Xiao Ye!
At the same time, Ji Ji’s Attribute Panel had undergone some surprising changes compared to before.
