To lure the tiger away from the mountain, it had to be far enough away. Now, as long as they approached the golden apple tree, they would be killed by the dragon. Therefore, this plan was clearly useless.
"What do you think?" An Sheng asked Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely impossible to fight it head-on. The chances of death are too high. We can only think of other solutions."
After a pause, Zhou Wen continued, "I have an idea. If I have a way to hold back that dark dragon for a few seconds, do you have the confidence to pluck the golden apple?"
"How many seconds can you last?" An Sheng asked after some thought.
"At most ten seconds. At least five seconds. However, before that, I need to use my Companion Beasts to confirm it again before I can determine the exact time," Zhou Wen said after serious consideration.
"If you can hold it back for six seconds, I can pluck the golden apple," An Sheng said after careful inference.
"Then let's give it a try." Zhou Wen planned on trying out the black dragon's abilities.
"I still have quite a number of Companion Beasts on me. I'll try a few more times. I have to test the black dragon's abilities before taking action," An Sheng said.
"Can I do anything?" Zhang Yuzhi asked.
"Please cheer us on here," An Sheng said to her.
"Alright, I'll cheer you on." Zhang Yuzhi didn't plan on really becoming a dragon-slaying warrior. Furthermore, she was only at the Legendary stage, inferior to Zhou Wen and company. She had only been joking previously.
Zhou Wen and An Sheng left the cave again and found a hidden spot to summon their Companion Beasts. They got their Companion Beasts to stay in different spots. After everything was set up, the Companion Beasts attacked the black dragon from different spots.
An Sheng had endless Companion Beasts. Zhou Wen had quite a number of Companion Beasts as well, but their Companion Beasts were basically like meat buns that never returned.
Zhou Wen used the Blood Threadworms to secretly burrow into the black dragon's body, but the moment they burrowed into its skin, they automatically died.
There was also the Epic Poison Bat. After it flew through the air, it was swallowed by the black dragon.
The two of them had sacrificed at least thirty to forty Companion Beasts. None of them could last more than five seconds in front of the black dragon. This made them realize how terrifying the black dragon was.
Of course, this was also because the two of them couldn't bear to use their beloved Companion Beasts. All they took out were cannon fodder Companion Beasts.
However, the different attacks of the various Companion Beasts made the black dragon use some of its abilities, allowing Zhou Wen and An Sheng to gain a clearer understanding of the black dragon.
"Its speed is far faster than ours. There's no need to mention its strength. My strength-type Epic Companion Beast was easily crushed by it. Furthermore, it isn't afraid of wind, fire, lightning, and has very high resistance. It doesn't spew fire, but it can spew poisonous smoke …" An Sheng mentioned the results of his observations before looking at Zhou Wen and asking, "What do you think? How many seconds could he last? I'd rather underestimate than overestimate. "
"Seven seconds." Zhou Wen carefully calculated many times in his mind, taking into account his various abilities. Finally, he gave a conservative number.
"Enough. Let's finish the plan first. I'll hide near the apple tree. My limit should be within 500 meters. Then, use your Companion Beast to lure it away and think of a way to hold it back for seven seconds. Leave the rest to me," An Sheng said as he drew on the ground, explaining the entire plan.
"Remember, we only have one chance. Failure means death," An Sheng said to Zhou Wen as he prepared to leave the cave.
"Understood." Zhou Wen nodded solemnly.
The two of them left the cave. According to the plan, An Sheng secretly approached the apple tree. His ability to converge his aura and disguise were very good. Zhou Wen watched An Sheng advance on the grass, almost unable to tell the difference between him and the grass.
The closer he got to the black dragon, the slower An Sheng's speed became. It was as though he was moving in slow motion.
A few hours later, An Sheng was about 400 meters away from the apple tree when the black dragon's ears suddenly twitched.
Zhou Wen and An Sheng's hearts leaped to their throats. An Sheng lay there motionless, while Zhou Wen's heart raced. He even forgot to breathe.
After a while, the black dragon's ears drooped down again. Only then did Zhou Wen feel a little better.
However, An Sheng was extremely bold. He continued crawling forward another 20 to 30 meters, almost making Zhou Wen's heart stop.
Zhou Wen knew that with every centimeter An Sheng approached the black dragon, the risk of being exposed increased. He had originally planned to stop about 500 meters from the apple tree, but now, he was within 400 meters. This was An Sheng using his danger to reduce Zhou Wen's risk.
The closer he was to the apple tree, the faster he could approach the golden apple. The earlier the black dragon would turn around to chase after him, reducing Zhou Wen's risk.
Finally, An Sheng made the agreed gesture. Zhou Wen heaved a long sigh of relief, knowing that it was time for him to appear.
After retreating to the edge of the island, Zhou Wen summoned his Companion Beasts and made sufficient preparations. Only then did he roar into the sky, "Giant lizard, I'm here. Come and eat me."
The black dragon, who was resting under the golden apple tree, immediately pricked up its ears when it heard Zhou Wen's shout. It stood up and after confirming its location, it flapped its wings and instantly tore through the air, charging towards Zhou Wen.
Black lightning streaked across the sky and instantly appeared in Zhou Wen's line of sight.
Zhou Wen summoned a row of Golden Warriors to block the black dragon. These were originally food left for Tyrant Behemoth after they were spawned, but later on, Tyrant Behemoth ate Primordial Crystals, so there was no point in keeping them.
The black dragon charged over like lightning as the Golden Warriors were sent flying. Zhou Wen slashed out with Bamboo Blade in one hand and Overlord Sword in the other. The Demonic Astral Wheel and Fangwheel Sword Flash crisscrossed as they slashed at the black dragon's head.
A black beam shot out from the black dragon's eyes, blasting the Demonic Astral Wheel and Fangwheel Sword Flash apart. However, its body didn't stop as it charged at Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen activated Ghost Steps and instantly moved more than ten meters to the left. At the same time, he counted inwardly. One second …
On the other side, An Sheng had already charged towards the golden apple tree like a ghost. His speed was equally terrifying.
The black dragon's speed was even faster than Zhou Wen's when he used Ghost Steps. With a flap of its wings, its huge body nimbly drew an L-shape in the air and caught up to Zhou Wen. It spewed out large amounts of black poisonous smoke that swept towards Zhou Wen like a flood.
