Chapter 695 Flame Cat Couple! GET☆DAZE!

The emergency side quest "Bear Grylls Arrives! Ancient Dragon, Get Out of the Way!" has been changed to "Bear Grylls' Survival Guide".

The severely injured and weakened Behemoth, while using the "Zodiac Meteor" to severely damage the twin dragons, also took advantage of the energy burst to tear through space and complete the final tactical transfer, escaping the current area and buying himself time to catch his breath and heal.

The severely injured Behemoth will randomly appear in the Ancient Forest, Wildspire Wasteland, Coral Highlands, Miasma Valley, Elder's Recess, and Everfrost Tundra regions.

You can decide for yourself whether to search for Behemoth and what subsequent measures to take.

[Additional Note: Bear Grylls, a newcomer, was severely injured and fled before he could even comprehend the rules of soul sacrifice. However, it's only a matter of time before he does. If you want to defeat Bear Grylls, you'd better hurry, because he's not like Ed Stafford who can go hungry for three days straight...]

It was only after this spatial notification popped up that Cheng Tian finally felt completely at ease and continued to approach the location of the Flame King Dragon and Flame Consort Dragon.

In fact, the quest "Bear Grylls is here! Ancient Dragons get out of the way!" is equivalent to the "Legendary Monster Behemoth" quest in the original world's main storyline. In this quest, Bear Grylls will escape once, triggering the subsequent "Injured Monster Behemoth". Therefore, Cheng Tian boldly speculated that the seriously injured Bear Grylls would prioritize his own life rather than seeking revenge immediately.

And it did just that, which made Cheng Tian look at Behemoth's combat intelligence even more highly, because it really made the most appropriate choice at the current juncture, which was to run away.

First, Behemoth wasn't entirely certain that his Zodiac Meteor would kill the Flame Cat couple, but if he stayed there, the prying eyes that were originally blocked by the vortex would inevitably turn into real killing intent.

As a magical beast with intelligence second only to humans, it would not fear any enemy under normal circumstances. However, after enduring the nuclear explosion of the two dragons head-on, it gained a new understanding of the advanced magical beasts (ancient dragons) in this other world that were different from itself.

Perhaps they are weaker than me in terms of physical strength, combat intelligence, and ether manipulation, but they can still release attacks that, while not as powerful as the zodiacal meteorite, are still quite threatening, based on their biological instincts.

If just two can severely injure you, what if there are more?
So Behemoth didn't care whether his zodiacal meteorite could clear the field. Instead, he took advantage of the moment when the violent ether energy cleared the surrounding etheric turbulence and tore through space to escape.

And as it turns out, its choice was absolutely correct.

When both Bear Grylls and the Teostra couple are healthy, the combined aura of two ancient dragons and a legendary monster is enough to intimidate most villains. However, when they are both severely injured, the situation is quite different.

Especially in the Elder Dragon's Recess, where Elder Dragons roam freely, subspecies are as rare as dogs, and the strong survive while the weak perish, the law of the jungle is more pronounced than in any other region. Once a wild beast exudes an aura of weakness and bloodlust, it will inevitably attract the attention of other predators.

It's important to know that even if a monster that dares to live in the Elder's Recess isn't another Elder Dragon in the same ecological niche, but rather an individual like the Rock Thief Dragon (also known as the Fat House Dragon), which appears docile and has a timid personality, it can still dare to spew magma balls at Elder Dragons under certain circumstances.

In other words, every life form that dares to live in the Elder's Recess has the heart to defy its superiors and take charge, rather than being a dog that will tuck its tail and run away at the mere smell of a tiger's urine!

As Bear Grylls fled, the large vortexes it had released at the two land entrances and exits also disappeared. The dying aura of the Fire Cat couple was clearly more intense, completely opening the passage to the other monsters that had gathered at the two entrances and exits... However, they did not rush in immediately as expected.

There are two factors.

On the one hand, the terrifying aura left behind by the nuclear explosion of the earth veins and the zodiacal meteorite in the current area has a great deterrent effect on them.

Smaller pterosaurs and Grimmias, who only dared to eat scraps, had already fled. Their instincts prevented them from venturing deeper into the area, leaving behind only individuals in their usual ecological niches who were confident in their own strength at the two exits. On the other hand, there was also the mutual restraint among them.

While a severely wounded and weakened prey is certainly tempting, it doesn't mean they can ignore other hunters eyeing the same prey!
During the period when the vortex was in effect, they were forced to limit their movement and gather near the area's exit points, which in turn created a delicate balance of restraint.

Any individual who takes the first step is highly likely to become the target of other hunters. This is not a matter of combat wisdom, but simply the answer given by biological instinct.

As a result, their mutual restraint actually helped Mr. Cheng escape the zodiacal meteorite.

Both Teostra and Lunastra have health bars that are almost black. Although theoretically they still have one or two thousand health bars left, without the healing from lava caves and ley lines, they will become the first walking calamities to die after being attacked a few times.

For hunters, mages, and players, only the dead Teostra and Lunastra are the best Elder Dragons, as their deaths provide treasure chests, stat boosts, and main quest completion progress.

But for Cheng Tian, ​​this "monster knight," there is clearly a second option.

Sensing the approach of a creature, the Lunastra couple struggled to sit up and opened their eyes. This time, it was the Lunastra, whose injuries were less severe, who moved to stand in front of her husband. She let out a hoarse growl with a bloody taste from deep in her throat, trying to intimidate the newcomer.

However, she now has a skull icon clearly displayed on the minimap, which means she could die at any moment.

Faced with such a Flame Dragon, Cheng Tian stopped in his tracks and directly summoned his Bond Stone, which emitted a strange fluctuation that even made the Flame Dragon try to open one of its eyes.

"Sign a contract with me, build a bond, and I promise to solve your infertility problems—"

As Cheng Tian spoke, another strange fluctuation emanated from his hands.

This represents the fluctuation that allows the humanoid sassy bird MAX to reliably retrieve a live dragon egg from any dragon's nest.

The Flame Cat couple, who were initially surprised that Cheng Tian, ​​a human, could communicate with them, widened their eyes in surprise upon hearing Cheng Tian's promise.

Cheng Tian's words precisely hit the nail on the head regarding what the Flame Cat couple, who were in their breeding season, cared about most.

Should one choose to die a heroic death, or choose to live a wretched life and give birth?

After a while, two streams of light entered Cheng's bond stone, and the choice of the Flame Cat couple was self-evident.

"Teostra! Lunastra! GET☆DAZE!"

With a gleaming forehead, Cheng Tian raised the Bound Stone in his hand and shouted with great emotion.
