All my hunting commissions come from another world?

When faced with monsters for which information is scarce, most hunters choose to carry equipment that enhances their survivability, and earplugs are an essential skill.

Ignoring the roar of the red dragon, the hunters charged forward, tacitly choosing to attack from different directions based on their different weapons.

Hunters using highly protective weapons such as lances, gunlances, and shield axes launched an attack on the red dragon from the front, while other hunters harassed it from the sides or rear.

Ranged weapon hunters focused their attacks on the Safi'jiiva's wings, attempting to disrupt its flight ability.

Even so, the hunters' attacks did not inflict too much damage on Safi'jiiva.

While attacking these annoying creatures, the Safi'jiiva kept a close eye on the two that posed the greatest threat to it.

One is a humanoid golden lion that attacks with tremendous force, even when unarmed.

The other is the Azure Star, which flies through the air and constantly leaves wounds on its body.

The physical enhancements and flight abilities granted to her by Honkai energy have made Azure Star's fighting style more flexible, and the massive Fatalis simply cannot catch Azure Star as she flies around in the air.

Therefore, Fatalis should resort to its most familiar methods.

"careful!"

The Grand Master, noticing the Safi'jiiva's movements, shouted loudly.

Suddenly, blue flames erupted from the mouth of the Fatalis, and ley line energy surged from its body, a sight that left the hunters present stunned.

"How is this possible? The Crimson Dragon is actually generating ley line energy on its own?"

Most of the hunters present were not just hunters; some of them were even more knowledgeable than many scholars, which made them even more surprised.

The reason why ley line energy is called ley line energy is because it originates from the ecological environment. Under the ecological cycle, ley line energy is almost inexhaustible. Even if it is depleted for a short period of time, it will gradually recover over time.

Even the Netherworld Dragon in the Crystal Lands was merely squandering the vast energy of the earth's veins, without any ability to generate its own.

The Safi'jiiva before them was completely different. The hunters had no idea that it was absorbing ley line energy; the blue flames burning in its mouth were entirely its own.

The hunters' surprise did not affect the Safi'jiiva's actions. Blue breath spewed from its mouth, and the hunters in front, alerted by the Grand Master, quickly dodged to the sides.

The extremely destructive breath blasted a large crater in the mountain wall.

The Fatalis's attack was not over yet; the blue flames in its mouth grew stronger and stronger. The hunters decided to observe its next move and temporarily avoid its attack.

Except for one person.

The petite hunter, wielding two swords, charged out of the crowd once more, facing the crimson dragon head-on.

Azure Star showed no fear; she had to defeat the Crimson Dragon as soon as possible.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Crimson Emperor and the Azure Star

The earth's energy surged within the Safi'jiiva's body, transforming into blue flames that raged across the valley. But if that were all, it wouldn't pose a significant threat to the hunters.

Azure Star charged ahead, Honkai energy flowing more and more smoothly through her body, and her twin blades left wounds on the Crimson Dragon.

Although the ordinary hunters in those survey teams did not have the combat power of Azure Star and the Grand Master, which far surpassed that of normal hunters, they were still the elite among elites.

With most of Fatalis's attention drawn to the two people, the hunters continued to maneuver around it, inflicting considerable damage on Fatalis.

This monster, which scholars might consider taboo, doesn't seem to be as powerful as they imagine.

Thanks to the efforts of the hunters, the Safi'jiiva's wounds increased.

"Drink!"

The Grand Master roared and leaped out from the side, punching the Crimson Dragon in the chin, sending its head flying high.

The long-awaited Azure Star descended from the sky, spinning as it plummeted toward the head of the Crimson Dragon.

The intertwined blades struck the head of the Safi'jiiva, leaving a huge wound on its right eye. The Safi'jiiva cried out in pain, and the Grand Master, pressing his advantage, landed on top of the Safi'jiiva.

He picked up a boulder from the side and smashed one of the Safi'jiiva's winding horns off.

The mournful cry of the Crimson Dragon echoed throughout the entire Valley of the Dark Realm. Upon seeing this, the hunters' faces lit up with joy. Judging from the current battle situation, as long as they steadily expanded their gains, they would be able to defeat the Crimson Dragon in no time.

Roar--

The battered and bruised Safi'jiiva roared, and blue flames formed from ley line energy exploded around it, driving away all the hunters around it, but also aggravating its own wounds.

This seemingly desperate act further confirms the hunters' suspicions.

The Safi'jiiva is dying.

The heavily wounded red dragon stared at the hunters in front of it with bloodshot eyes. Right under their noses, it raised its front claws and then fiercely stabbed them into the ground in front of it.

The next moment, a massive amount of ley line energy surged out of the valley and flowed into the body of the Crimson Dragon.

"The body of the Crimson Dragon!"

One hunter seemed to have discovered something and shouted out, but even without his reminder, the hunters present could clearly see the changes in Safi'jiiva.

As the earth's energy was absorbed by the Crimson Dragon, its wounds suddenly began to heal rapidly. In just a few breaths, all the wounds on its body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the newly grown scales emitted a sharp light.

"How can it be..."

Sunshine Bro Aiden's mouth dropped open at the sight before him; even Nergigante couldn't match its recovery speed.

The Fatalis actually possesses such an ability?!

"Don't panic, this won't come without a price."

In the end, it was the Grand Commander who spoke up and calmed everyone down. Although he usually appeared rough and casual, the Grand Commander was more thoughtful than most people.

The Grand Commander kicked away the pebbles at his feet, reached out to feel the surging of the earth's veins, and then gave Azure Star an inquiring look.

As he expected, Azure Star gave a positive response.

The Safi'jiiva's recovery speed is indeed exaggerated, but this is based on the fact that it has absorbed a large amount of the earth's ley line energy. Azure Star placed his palm on the ground. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Safi'jiiva recovered completely from its severe injury in an instant. You should know that it almost drained all the earth's ley line energy in this place.

"It looks like we're headed for a protracted war."

The Grand Master stood up, looked at the fully recovered Safi'jiiva in front of him, and rubbed his fist, which had begun to turn red.

Judging from this, if they want to defeat the Crimson Dragon, they must exhaust all the ley line energy here.

"Commander, let the wounded hunters retreat first."

While using the large sharpening scales to restore the sharpness of his twin swords, Azure Star made a suggestion to the Grand Master.

Although none of the hunters have completely lost their ability to fight, some of them are already seriously injured, and if they continue to push themselves, there is a high possibility of casualties.

"You don't have any questions?"

The Grand Master looked at Azure Star. The Crimson Dragon seemed to prioritize attacking the target that caused it the most damage. Since the start of the raid, that guy had basically been focusing on attacking Azure Star.

This is also why they haven't suffered any major casualties so far.

However, withdrawing some hunters means that the pressure on Azure Star will gradually increase.

"Ah."

Azure Star nodded without changing her expression. Perhaps because she was thinking about someone, she was in an incredibly good state.

The Grand Commander also noticed that Azure Star's movements seemed to be getting faster and faster.

The Grand Master glanced discreetly at the blue light emanating from Azure Star. Even though he wasn't particularly sensitive to energy, he could sense that the essence of that light seemed to be exactly the same as the ley line energy used by the Crimson Dragon.

'It seems your judgment wasn't entirely accurate either.'

The leader of the third fleet, who was also the old friend of the dragon race who was the Grand Commander, made a brief assessment of the changes that had occurred on Azure Star, saying that Azure Star was extremely adaptable to Honkai energy.

But now it seems that Azure Star may be able to control more than just Honkai energy; the changes in her are probably even more astonishing than they anticipated.

Azure Star didn't engage in further conversation. She needed to keep the Safi'jiiva's attention firmly on her so that the other hunters would face less pressure.

However, the Crimson Dragon simply absorbed all the ley line energy in the area, and when faced with Azure Star's pursuit, it merely unleashed a beam of light to force Azure Star back.

The vast amount of ley line energy in this area remained after repairing the body of the Safi'jiiva, and this ley line energy is now flowing within the Safi'jiiva's body.

After forcing back Azure Star, the Crimson Dragon did not attack them. Instead, it spread its wings and flew into the air. A huge amount of ley line energy began to condense in its body. The Crimson Dragon, suspended in the air, seemed to be brewing something.

"Oh no! Find cover!"

The experienced and knowledgeable leader's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted loudly to the hunters around him.

At the chief's prompting, the hunters hurriedly ran toward the rocks that had fallen from the ground because of their battle.

Azure Star originally intended to hide behind the falling rocks, but just as she was about to set off, she suddenly noticed that an Elf Cat had not yet hidden behind the falling rocks because it was too far away. She immediately activated her Honkai energy and flew over.

But at this moment, the enormous energy of the earth veins had been completely released by the Crimson Dragon, transforming into a crystal-clear blue 'droplet' that fell to the ground.

In an instant, the 'water droplet' landed, and terrifying ley line energy erupted instantly.

Just at this critical moment, a figure with wings on its back stood in front of Azure Star and Palico.

Chapter Thirty-Three: It gave so much!

Rewinding to a few tens of minutes earlier, Zhou Si, who had entered the Divine Realm, soon saw the legendary forbidden figure.

Where the sea meets the sky, a dark shadow tore through the gloomy horizon.

Its pitch-black wings, obscuring the sky, swept across the sea like the end of the world. Its scales, growing in the opposite direction, emitted a cold metallic gleam, beneath which dark red energy surged continuously. The waves froze into ice as it flew by, only to be evaporated into mist by the high temperature the next second.

The chaotic energy in the air suddenly calmed down at this moment, but Zhou Si knew that this was not because the influence of the divine realm had disappeared, but because their ruler had descended.

A chilling sense of oppression surged through Zhou Si's soul. The 'Ape Dragon' species, capable of hand-to-hand combat with ancient dragons, felt a pang of fear from the depths of his heart, but he knew he had no way out now.

Only by proceeding according to our original plan might there still be a glimmer of hope.

'I really shouldn't set this flag!'

After mentally preparing himself one last time, Zhou Si activated the gun wings and arrived in front of the [Black Sun].

The Black Dragon had clearly noticed Zhou Si's arrival long ago, and it stopped moving forward early, seemingly waiting for Zhou Si.

This action slightly eased Zhou Si's tension. Perhaps his guess was right; the Black Dragon truly meant him no harm...

Just as Zhou Si was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a flash of lightning on the pair of "Heaven-Piercing Horns" on the top of the black dragon's head, which curved towards the sky.

Zhou Si's expression changed drastically, and he immediately evolved an electric shell and the scales of a Thunder Dragon on his body.

The next moment, the lightning energy in this area seemed to be under command and began to surge wildly. In an instant, countless silver snakes danced wildly, and this sea area was transformed into a lightning pool.

At the center, the man and the dragon were like two extremes: one was completely unaffected by the lightning, while the other was being struck by lightning and suffering terrified.

Zhou Si huddled inside that thick carapace, the outer layer of scales now completely black, even smelling somewhat burnt.

The lightning released by the Alatreon far exceeded the absorption limit of the charge shell, and countless bolts of lightning pierced through the shell and struck Zhou Si.

In just over ten seconds, Zhou Si was severely injured.

After several dozen seconds, the thunder gradually subsided, and the charred figure fell from the sky into the sea. The Black Dragon stared at the spot where the figure fell into the water, and stopped its movements as if it had seen something. It neither pursued the attack nor left.

Bang!

The next moment, a huge wave exploded on the sea surface, and a figure trailing a crimson tail of flames rushed straight towards the taboo hanging high in the sky, its twin swords burning with blood flames slashing at the towering horns of the black dragon.

But the Black Dragon remained unmoved and stayed in place. Just when Zhou Si thought his attack was about to succeed, he suddenly discovered that a layer of black ice had formed on his body.

The extreme cold instantly robbed Zhou Si of control over his body. At this moment, he couldn't even feel pain; only his head could still turn.

Seeing the black dragon so close at hand, a ferocious look flashed across Zhou Si's face, and the dragon jade in his body began to operate wildly.

Looking at Zhou Si in front of him, a hint of surprise appeared in the obsidian-like eyes of the Black Dragon.

It detected that the surrounding energy properties had just been activated.

Dragon energy, cold energy, blood flames, lightning... and the power hidden deep within Zhou Si's bloodline.

All the energy that could be converted gathered in Zhou Si's body, and at this moment, several cracks appeared in his body, which was comparable to that of an ancient dragon, and a dark red light emanated from beneath his skin.

A wisp of dark red lightning flashed past Zhou Si's body. This time, the Black Dragon could no longer ignore it. The surrounding elemental energy quickly gathered and formed a barrier in front of it.

boom--! ! !

A dark red beam of light burst forth from Zhou Si's mouth, crashing into the barrier in front of the Black Dragon with a destructive aura.

The moment the two forces collided, a vacuum zone a hundred meters in diameter was created on the sea surface, and the seawater instantly vaporized. The resulting giant waves reached tens of meters high and swept outwards like walls of water.

"Huh...huh..."

A sense of weariness from the depths of his soul welled up in Zhou Si's heart. He struggled to fly in mid-air, the gun wings behind him sputtering dragon energy like a tractor, supporting him so that he wouldn't fall into the sea again.

As the moisture in front of him gradually dissipated, the unharmed, dark figure reappeared before Zhou Si's eyes, amidst a look of despair.

'What's the point of this?'
