Absolute Death Game

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and a few people who had a good relationship with Xiao Buli gasped in surprise, thinking to themselves that Elder Xiao must have gone crazy for the sake of founding a country. This was a Tank Dragon, and one misstep could lead to complete annihilation. Those new to the group, although not worried about Xiao Buli's safety, raised their thumbs in admiration when they heard him speak and thought, "Damn, our leader is freaking awesome, he can Tank a Dragon?" These thoughts might sound complicated, but in reality, they only lasted the blink of an eye. At this point, they already heard the second half of what Xiao Buli was saying, "This dragon will be Tanked by my—pet."

Wow~, it was as if the hearts of the crowd had been on a roller coaster; just as they climbed up, they took a steep dive down again. It seems that this guy wasn't crazy after all, he just had a flare for the dramatic.

Pet? Those below who heard this showed puzzled expressions, especially those Hunter Series players in the back rows, who were very clear about Taming Skills. Although pets had been switched out several times due to battles in the past few days, only one pet could truly follow its master at any time. Other pets, if not kept in the Beast Pen, had to be let go. But where could one find a Beast Pen to use in this wilderness? And Xiao Buli had not been seen with a pet by his side since they met. Could it be that he had already selected and caught a mysterious pet? However, a pet that could Tank a Dragon was not something one could just catch at will. Suddenly, everyone had all sorts of ideas.

Of course, Xiao Buli knew the doubts in everyone's minds. Although he was tired of using the Sealing Skill, it still seemed too unscientific for other players who didn't have this skill to summon pets out of thin air. And he wanted this exact kind of dramatic effect, otherwise, how could he establish a god-like image in everyone's hearts?

Therefore, feeling that he had kept everyone in suspense long enough, Xiao Buli gestured toward the sky, and a huge Array flashed out of nowhere. A red glow scattered, and the massive form of the Lava Giant Python suddenly appeared in mid-air. As mentioned before, although the Lava Giant Python couldn't truly fly, it did have a pair of wings for gliding. To make the python's entrance more dramatic, Xiao Buli intentionally chose the sky as its starting point. As soon as the python came out of the Sealed Space, it immediately spread its thin wings, twisting its body elegantly as it slowly descended from the air.

"Damn, it's a dragon!" The crowd hadn't clearly seen the python's appearance, but they had seen its silhouette, which clearly resembled that of a Black Dragon. Some who were more faint-hearted even thought the Red Dragon had escaped early. Upon closer inspection, they realized it wasn't a dragon based on the animal's horns and triangular head, but it still looked shockingly impressive.

The Lava Giant Python's pair of red eyes glimmered menacingly, making everyone feel a chill down their spines as it gazed at them.

"Is it really the chairman's pet?" Seeing that the giant python seemed to have no intent to attack anyone, the crowd began to relax and immediately started whispering to each other.

"I don't know, but it must be, right? How else could Elder Xiao summon it with a wave of his hand?" Most of these mutterings came from those who were not very familiar with Xiao Buli.

Xiao Buli's close brothers, even though they were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out, still stood tall and proud, acting as if they had known all along.

At this moment, someone with sharp eyes spotted the name on the giant python's head, "It really is the chairman's pet, look at the name." Upon hearing this reminder, everyone looked up at the creature's head, and sure enough.

Lava Giant Python (Mutated): Xiao Buli's Pet.

Once confirmed, the crowd below erupted, "Damn, for real? Such a powerful pet can be tamed?"

"What level of Taming Skills must that be!?" The tone of this comment was filled with obvious envy.

"And it didn't exist before, could it be Summoning Skills? But isn't that way too bugged?" This one sounded a bit sour, thinking if it's a bug, why don't you go get one yourself?

Xiao Buli looked satisfied as the Lava Giant Python caused a stir among the people, striking awe into their hearts like a powerful warning. This side effect served as a testament to Xiao Buli's strength. Although there was much discussion among the crowd, one thing was certain: the python, over a hundred meters in length, was definitely more than capable of tanking the Red Dragon.

Having solved the tanking issue, Xiao Buli saw that there were no other concerns and immediately called out to regain everyone's attention, "Alright, now the engineering team starts building the siege weapons, and the rest of you start your pre-battle preparations. Once everyone's ready, I'll go in and start pulling the monsters."

The python's appearance invisibly boosted everyone's confidence. Everyone was rubbing their hands together with eagerness, full of vitality. Upon hearing Xiao Buli's words, those who needed to buff did so, and those who needed to consume food and drinks to restore their physical strength did just that, while the engineering team, led by Li Shuren, stepped onto several higher grounds nearby and began to construct the siege weapons.

In this game, building siege weapons required a large amount of materials and they were difficult to transport. Luckily, Xiao Buli's storage bracelet solved this problem nicely. He carried most of the materials, and several members of the engineering team had great physical strength, with backpacks that could carry a very high volume. Ample materials were available to construct five heavy crossbow cannons.

In this game, not only were siege weapons cumbersome and difficult to transport, but they also had a very low hit rate against minor monsters. However, since they dealt siege damage, their attack power was quite high. Therefore, Xiao Buli tailored his strategy to the situation and used them to attack gigantic enemies like the Red Dragon. The Dragon's immense size made it practically as big as a city wall, eliminating concerns about low accuracy. Besides, the Red Dragon's sturdy defenses seemed much less impressive in the face of powerful siege weapons, making them more than suitable for the operation.

The engineering team members were fully committed, using their hands and feet in quick coordination, drawing praises from the hunters who were buffing themselves at the sidelines. Eager to showcase their skills in front of everyone for the first time, the engineers worked even harder. In no time, all five crossbow cannons were assembled. Each shot from these cannons could deal over a thousand points of damage, which was undeniably significant, even though their firing rate was a bit slow.

Once the engineering team was ready, Xiao Buli briefly explained the positioning to everyone and had the other three groups spread out at the entrance of the cavern. Then, he turned and went to the entrance himself, holding the Ancient Magma Barrier in one hand and the Ancient Frost Blade in the other. Taking a deep breath, he jumped in without any hesitation.

The Scorching Caverns were shaped like a gourd, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with the lower level filled with roiling lava. Although it wasn't churning as fiercely as the lava from a volcanic vent, it was still exceptionally scorching. Any ordinary person making such a jump would undoubtedly perish.

But this Ancient Magma Barrier truly deserved its Dark Gold classification. When Xiao Buli jumped into the magma, his body felt as though he had leapt into warm water—there was not the slightest burning sensation, and the heat was actually quite comfortable. This greatly reassured Xiao Buli and he proceeded along the Lava River towards the caverns. Inside the caverns, visibility wasn't as clear as outside; the entire space was filled with the smell of sulfur, and the air was misty. Still, he could at least make out what was in front of him. Xiao Buli had walked about fifty meters or so when a huge red figure vaguely appeared before him.

For convenience, Xiao Buli had taken to calling this dragon the Little Red Dragon. Though it had 'Little' in its name, it was only relative—the other monsters could all be considered small compared to that massive Red Dragon. But the truth was that the Little Red Dragon was anything but little; it was nearly seventy to eighty meters long, roughly the same size as a Lava Giant Python. Even though it was coiled up in the cave, from afar, it still looked enormous, practically occupying the entire cavern space. Moreover, its name wasn't Little Red Dragon, but above its head hovered the name "Crimson Flame Red Dragon."

However, its name was only of White classification, meaning it was just an ordinary member of the Dragon Clan. Yet, similar to those Immortals, even a White Name Immortal possessed abilities far superior to those of mortals with golden names or even higher rankings. Therefore, though the Crimson Flame Red Dragon was just a White Name dragon, the Dragon Prestige radiating off it was enough to weaken the knees of ordinary folks. Fortunately, Xiao Buli held the title of Ancient God Butcher, and no matter how he had acquired this title, his immunity to such suppressive pressures was absolutely real.

"Alright, it's you," Xiao Buli thought to himself, not daring to speak aloud. To maximize the effect of the stealth attack, he silently approached the giant dragon, stopping only ten steps away. Gathering his energy, Xiao Buli unleashed a Mysterious Ice Slash towards the body of the Red Dragon.

This sudden attack caught the Red Dragon completely off guard, and with a whistle, the red-scaled body was instantly marred by an injury; dragon scales shattered and dragon blood gushed out. The Crimson Flame Red Dragon let out a deafening roar as it turned towards Xiao Buli, spewing a breath of dragon fire without hesitation.

The Red Dragon's roar left Xiao Buli with a pounding headache. Seeing the dragon breath approaching, he didn't hesitate to lift his shield to block. The Flame Dragon Breath created a huge gap at the Ancient Magma Barrier; despite the raging flames, once the dragon breath dissipated, Xiao Buli was completely unharmed. He was thrilled to find that his immunity to flame damage was no fluke. However, the dragon's physical attacks couldn't be ignored, so without waiting for the Red Dragon to turn around, he quickly spun on his heels and ran towards the entrance. The Red Dragon couldn't let Xiao Buli escape so easily—no member of the Dragon Clan was easy to provoke. A dragon possessed strength to fight even its own kind, let alone a human. Ignoring the wound on its body, the Red Dragon chased after him right away. The chase between the man and the dragon ensued, but the Red Dragon's massive size and the cavern's limited maneuvering space left it at a disadvantage. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Buli had already escaped from the cavern.

Outside, everyone's eyes were glued to the cave entrance, anxiously awaiting the Red Dragon's ascent. Suddenly, a red light flickered at the entrance, and bursts of fire emerged from within the cave. Everyone watched with bated breath—how could anyone survive such firepower? But before they could lament, Xiao Buli sprang from the entrance with a whoosh, completely unscathed. Landing on his feet, Xiao Buli whistled at the Lava Giant Python. Just as the Crimson Flame Red Dragon flew out, the Python sprang into action, pouncing fiercely and pinning the Little Red Dragon to the ground. The two giant dragons engaged in a fierce battle, entangled with one another. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets.
