Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1681 - 1718: The Gourmet Stratagem

Guo Linn saw Ding Fan in this situation and couldn’t help but feel anxious. He knew that soon they could be transported back to the Cultivation World, but unexpectedly, the True Dragon had found Ding Fan’s position. How could one not worry?

Moreover, Guo Linn was aware that some tactics they had used against the True Dragon before had already been exhausted, and he feared the True Dragon would be well-prepared this time, certainly not careless. Thus, it seemed even more difficult for Ding Fan to escape from the jaws of the True Dragon.

For a moment, Guo Linn didn’t know what to do. Time was running out, and they would be transported soon. He was conflicted, not knowing whether to go out and help his big brother. But if he did, his strength seemed insignificant in front of the True Dragon, and Guo Linn even doubted whether he’d be helping Ding Fan or just adding to the chaos.

On the other hand, if he didn’t offer help, Ding Fan was in a precarious situation. The True Dragon they faced now was no longer the one ignorant of their abilities, as they had dealt with it several times before, and the True Dragon had become quite familiar with their tricks. Escaping from it was certainly no easy feat.

Even Ding Fan would find this an impossible challenge. The power of the True Dragon was simply too terrifying!

Guo Linn felt indecisive, unsure of what to do. He knew that victory seemed so close; if Ding Fan could hold on for just a moment longer, they would successfully be transported back to the Cultivation World, and all would be well.

But Guo Linn could clearly see the True Dragon’s attacks were fierce. He was aware that, facing such attacks, enduring even for a few breaths was impossible. The True Dragon’s power was overwhelmingly terrifying.

Therefore, Guo Linn’s mind was torn between worry for Ding Fan’s safety and uncertainty about what to do. Yet, he didn’t have a single thought of giving up. Just a bit more time, and they would return to the Cultivation World from here.

They had all united and persevered through difficult times before; with victory so near, how could he give up now?

...

Ah Du noticed Ding Fan’s situation, also feeling shocked. He hadn’t expected that while they were about to be transported out of the Xuantian Secret Realm, the giant beast would find them. However, Ah Du remained calm.

He understood that although the True Dragon was strong, it wouldn’t know about their imminent transport, which might lessen its sense of urgency. This was a significant advantage for Ding Fan.

Yet, the truth was the True Dragon’s strength was too formidable. Even if the beast felt no urgency, it wasn’t something an ordinary Cultivator could handle. They’d had lucky escapes from its grasp before, implying the beast would be furious.

This meant its attacks wouldn’t be weak. However, could Ding Fan withstand them? Ah Du didn’t know either. His mind raced for solutions, knowing they couldn’t match the True Dragon’s power head-on; confrontation was not a viable plan.

Ah Du concluded they must work on the True Dragon’s mindset. Keeping it calm and not too aggressive was basic for victory; time was on their side.

Delaying the True Dragon would mean significant victory.

Ah Du fished out previously collected blood, flesh, bones, and even Crystal Cores of Fifth Grade Yuan Beasts from his storage bag. These items were valuable commodities in the Cultivation World.

But given the situation, Ah Du had to part with them. He threw the Yuan Beast items out, loudly pleading in the direction of the True Dragon:

"These are yours, please let us go!"

Guo Linn heard Ah Du immediately, taken aback by Ah Du’s boldness. Guo Linn was surprised, recognizing this partner anew, noting his loyalty despite his usual arrogance.

Upon seeing the Yuan Beast items Ah Du tossed, Guo Linn understood Ah Du’s strategy. Quickly, Guo Linn used a spell to make the Yuan Beast’s blood, bones, or Crystal Cores exude a tantalizing aroma.

Roaring...

The belongings of these yuan beasts, after all, are from some Fifth Grade, or even Sixth Grade Yuan Beasts. Such yuan beasts are quite rare in the world of yuan beasts, so when Guo Linn cast a spell, causing these yuan beast items to emit a rich and intense fragrance, the surrounding yuan beasts immediately smelled it, and suddenly there was a chorus of cries.

Clearly, the surrounding yuan beasts were quite envious of the yuan beasts that Ah Du took out, but although the yuan beasts had some degree of intelligence, it wasn’t very high. However, they were aware of the terrifying presence of a True Dragon nearby, and even if they were given several guts, they wouldn’t dare to approach to eat the flesh and blood thrown out by Ah Du.

Roar...

At this moment, the True Dragon that’s been continually attacking Ding Fan suddenly noticed the situation on Ah Du’s side, and also smelled the yuan beast fragrance, causing its heart to pause in surprise. It hadn’t expected this human to use such tricks. The True Dragon knew well that this was merely a human deception and wouldn’t fall for it.

During the moment the True Dragon was taken aback, Ding Fan also noticed the situation with Guo Linn and the others, feeling a pause in his heart. He understood Ah Du’s intent, so Ding Fan took out some yuan beast flesh or bones or some Crystal Cores from his chest and threw them on the ground.

The True Dragon, seeing Ding Fan’s actions, paused in its heart and subsequently ceased its attack, observing the human in front of it with some puzzlement. When Ding Fan saw the True Dragon pause its actions in an instant, he gestured towards it and said:

"Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!"

The True Dragon seemed to understand some of Ding Fan’s words, feeling quite shocked as it cautiously watched the human before it, while methodically swallowing the yuan beast items Ding Fan had thrown. The True Dragon was clear that this human wouldn’t submit so quickly.

Even if the human were to submit, the True Dragon wouldn’t appreciate it and would still kill him. The True Dragon wanted more than just that from the human; it wanted much, much more. Yet, it didn’t mind enjoying these delicacies first, given that these items were quite a treat for the True Dragon.

The True Dragon was aware that even if it indulged in these delicacies beforehand, it would still go on to kill the human later. It reckoned if it could have the human voluntarily surrender the items it desired, that would be a fine idea.

At this moment, seeing the True Dragon slowly devour the yuan beast flesh, bones, and Crystal Cores, Ding Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart, realizing his time was nearing. At this point, if he could discard some yuan beast Crystal Cores to stall the True Dragon for a while, it would indeed be a good strategy.

Ah Du, too, had already thrown their pile of yuan beast items before the True Dragon, looking at the True Dragon with a smile, trying to convey a friendly attitude. However, the True Dragon’s mood suddenly changed dramatically, though it was merely an act.

The True Dragon knew well that by easing its attitude a little, it could lure out all three humans—an excellent idea indeed, as it had spent considerable time and effort searching for them and admired their ability to conceal themselves.

Despite its efforts, the True Dragon couldn’t find them for a long time. Yet here these humans were, voluntarily showing themselves, brightening its mood considerably. In its eyes, these humans were child’s play, requiring no vigilance, and it could kill them at will.

However, the True Dragon was in no rush to kill them now, knowing that if they willingly handed over valuable items, it would be the best outcome, before finally killing them, without any effort on its part—what a joy!

Roar, roar, roar...

The True Dragon quickly devoured all the yuan beast items presented by Ding Fan and the others, subsequently continuing to roar at them incessantly. Ding Fan and the others soon understood its meaning—it evidently wanted more. Consequently, Ding Fan retrieved more yuan beast flesh, bones, and, most importantly, Crystal Cores from his storage bag.

Ding Fan realized that unless he offered something sincere, he’d be hard-pressed to fool this creature. Consequently, Guo Linn and Ah Du also pulled out some yuan beast items, with Guo Linn concurrently casting a spell, causing those items to emit a very tempting scent.

At this moment, the True Dragon was quite satisfied, seemingly and unusually pleased with the bits provided by the humans. Nonetheless, the True Dragon knew that regardless of how much they offered, it would eventually kill them—that much was clear to it.

Subsequently, the True Dragon continued to devour the yuan beast items. Nevertheless, the True Dragon’s appetite wasn’t average, and in the blink of an eye, it had swallowed all the exquisite items Ding Fan and the others had presented, leaving them feeling anxious.

Given the True Dragon’s ravenous pace of consumption, it seemed their yuan beast supplies wouldn’t last long. Fortunately, their teleportation time was imminent, leaving them mixed with excitement and anxiety...
