In the broad snowy expanse atop the summit, four colossal dragons, each over a hundred meters in body length, were spewing variously colored ferocious breath into the snow.
Among them, the dark green flames were the breath of a Poison Attribute Dragon, carrying potent toxicity and corrosive effects. The orange-red flames were the breath of the Flaming Giant Dragon, possessing high temperatures capable of incinerating most substances. The icy blue flames were the breath of the Frost Giant Dragon, capable of freezing everything. And the dark purple flames were the breath of the Thunderous Giant Dragon, with terrifying lethality and paralyzing effects that are near impossible to resist.
At the moment, two of these dragons were leisurely exterminating the enemies gathered in the central location atop the snow, or rather, clearing away the remains of enemies heavily corroded by the poison breath of the Poison Attribute Dragon just seconds ago. This behavior might be more about preventing the multiple enemies from resurrecting than it was a playful frolic.
As for the other two dragons, specifically the first-arriving Poison Attribute Dragon and the Flaming Giant Dragon that discovered a tiny creature trying to escape in their direction, they had already begun a cat-and-mouse game. To be precise, given the size difference, it was more like a cat and an ant game—two cats chasing one ant, with the other two soon to join in.
Playing the tragic role of the ant frantically fleeing, Wang Zhifan felt no trace of panic in his heart at this moment. He even felt an overwhelming battle spirit coursing through his entire body, with his mind being unprecedentedly clear—a peak state that one could only achieve by discarding the fear of life and death under immense external pressure.
"Frenzy stacked to full... Fury stacked to full..."
In a race against time, Wang Zhifan was exerting all his strength to flee down the mountain. Meanwhile, he was observing the orange-red dragon breath and the dark green dragon breath swirling like tornadoes over the snow in front of and behind him. At the same time, he skillfully used the Wolf-Slaying Blade in his hand to brush against the falling snowflakes around him to trigger the boosts from the Frenzy Bracelet and Fury Gloves without slowing down.
At this moment, what he needed most was the 12% speed increase from three stacks of Frenzy and the 4-point strength increase from three stacks of Fury. These boosts could elevate his already sprinting body to a higher speed. As for the other boosts in attack speed and damage, they were of no use to him currently, for it was impossible to leap into the sky and engage those behemoths in close combat.
The tiny figure, moving at high speed, quickly intersected with the massive flames attacking from both front and back. The enormous Flaming Giant Dragon in the sky ahead of the tiny figure precisely utilized its all-consuming wide flames to cover the path of this pathetic, weak enemy. Then, the pursuing Poison Attribute Dragon joined the fray, adding its dark green, turbid breath to the flames engulfing the opponent.
Yet in the next instant, an unexpected event occurred for these two massive creatures. The tiny existence they had presumed dead emerged unharmed from the coverage of their breath, breaking towards the foot of the summit in the blink of an eye!
This situation immediately brought a human-like look of astonishment to the huge eyes of the two dragons, as they rarely encountered an enemy capable of withstanding their breath attack, even for just an instant.
Without hesitation, the two dragons, with skins respectively fiery red and dark green in color, flapped their massive wings, chasing the enemy who had burst out from beneath the snow at the summit.
In the span of a breath, the gigantic creatures arrived over the path connecting the summit, maddeningly pursuing the tiny silhouette rushing downward. Once again, they unleashed two destructive breaths, utterly engulfing his diminutive form along with the surrounding mountain path and terrain.
However, as the two dragons indulged in ravaging their target below, they soon discovered that their target had vanished without a trace—not in the sense of complete obliteration, but rather a sudden invisibility before their eyes.
Witnessing this, the two gigantic beings were once again puzzled. They quickly flapped their enormous wings, beginning a search of the surrounding ground to find where the suddenly vanished target had gone.
After a simple search nearby yielding no results, the two dragons immediately split into two paths, each embarking on a search of its own. Simultaneously, the blue dragon and purple dragon, located higher up on the summit, also arrived, joining the search for the last enemy.
"Such terrifying attack strength... In just a moment, it nearly drained half of my stamina. Fortunately, my physical attributes were high enough to barely withstand their breath with the universal defense of the Biological Force Field and managed an escape."
Currently, the tiny existence being sought by the four dragons, namely Wang Zhifan, was hiding within a small mountain-like snowdrift very close to the summit snowfield.
In fact, when he initially darted down from the summit, he escaped toward this spot. Yet, upon leaving the summit, he deployed his illusionary decoy, directing it to frenzy down the mountain path, distracting the two chasing dragons, allowing him temporary escape and concealment here.
As for the decoy being attacked and disappearing afterward, he merely took the opportunity to retract it back into the Dream Space. He currently only had one trained decoy, and naturally couldn’t afford to let it be lost in vain.
"I definitely can’t hide like this for long. Avoiding battle passively will undoubtedly lead to my death. I must make a strong counterattack and eliminate the opponents outside one by one."
Despite narrowly escaping from the summit under the enormous expenditure of the Biological Force Field against the dragon’s breath and finding fortune in hiding here, Wang Zhifan’s fighting spirit didn’t diminish due to temporary calm. On the contrary, he had begun formulating a counterattack plan.
Based on the reaction when he initially attacked the dark green dragon with the Endless Sniper Rifle, although his strongest weapon seemed ineffective against the dragon, there was undoubtedly some harm dealt. From this, he deduced that eliminating the four dragons outside would be extremely challenging, and even if it proceeded smoothly, it would likely be a long, grueling battle.
"First, carefully scout the external situation with my decoy, then plan specific tactics."
Resolving upon action, Wang Zhifan cautiously stayed hidden within the snowdrift to recover his strength while once again deploying his decoy for reconnaissance.
This time, unlike the previous lure of the enemy, he kept his illusory self concealed within the snow or rocks for almost the entirety of the mission, performing reconnaissance without exposing himself to minimize the risk of its destruction.
