Since dragons cannot be ridden, Rein and his men can only reach the destroyed camp by ground.

They needed to go to the scene first to see just how destructive the black dragon really was.

Rein sat on the Snow Mastiff, which he hadn't seen in a long time.

Perhaps because of its relationship with Wudo, the big white dog was very affectionate towards him. When it saw people, it would raise its head and whine as if wanting Rein to pat its fluffy head.

Rein also liked the big white dog very much and took out a large piece of meat from his storage ring to feed it.

The Snow Mastiff wouldn't eat food from strangers, but it seemed very happy when Rein fed it, and would even make a "woofing" sound of joy.

"Doctor Rein, hold me tight!"

Wudo shouted loudly, then squeezed her legs together, and the Snow Mastiff leaped out.

Rein sat behind Wudo, the momentum of the Snow Mastiff's rapid advance causing him to lean back slightly.

He reached out and put his arm around Wudo's slender waist.

Because she was wearing an animal skin vest and shorts, Wudo's waist was completely exposed to the air, and it felt wonderful to the touch. There was no excess fat on her lower abdomen, and you could clearly feel the lines of her abdominal muscles between your fingers; they were soft yet firm.

Rein remembered the first time he rode this Snow Mastiff at the "Plague Base," when he was treated like a prisoner and hung on its neck.

Back then, Wudo was still a "savage little girl".

Now, Wudo is a mature and sexy young woman.

A strong wind swept across my face, making my hair flutter.

She's like a girl chasing the wind.

Before long, Rein and her group arrived at the destroyed camp.

This temporary branch city, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was destroyed before it was even built, leaving the city in ruins.

Apart from a few wounded people in the ruins, there were almost no survivors.

Stone walls, steel cannons, motorcycles, and armor were almost all destroyed.

It looks like this place has experienced a massive Beast Tide.

However, according to the survivors, the city was merely the work of the black dragon, who had come to "play tricks" on it.

The High-tier Extraordinary and mechanics in the team quickly completed their survey and came to a conclusion.

"Black Dragon's Breath is a dark, corrosive magic that inflicts level VIII burns; its power is approximately eight times that of a fifth-tier arcane spell."

"The dragon claw's power can penetrate armor with a level seven enchantment, so it can be inferred that at least a level ten 'Sturdy Rune' would be needed to withstand that dragon claw."

"."

The mechanics used their instruments to conduct a detailed analysis. They extracted a lot of useful data from the corroded steel and the remains of the destroyed buildings, and deduced the black dragon's exact combat strength.

Then, the mechanics readjusted their armor.

The ten "Legendary" armors have been given additional targeted equipment.

Although the black dragon was cunning, it was still a magical beast and probably wouldn't understand the true power of top-tier Steam Machinery.

Setting up the trap would take some time, so Rein and his men didn't rush into action and instead chose to rest for the night at the camp.

Anyway, the location of the black dragon's lair has been found, and the black dragon is now sleeping in its lair after eating its fill, so it probably won't leave anytime soon.

Of course, it would be better if it could leave.

That way, Rein and his men could avoid a fierce battle and go directly to explore the tomb.

Night falls, around the campfire.

The high-ranking officials of Black Dragon City are gathered together to discuss the "Dragon Hunting Plan".

"Lord City Lord, the trap has been set. But that black dragon is very cunning and probably won't fall for it so easily. I think we can use a 'luring tactic'. That anti-black dragon is cunning, but also very arrogant. It often chases its prey relentlessly once it sets its sights on it. We can use this to our advantage, sending someone to lure it away first, and then luring it into the trap."

"That's a good method. However, that dragon is very fast. When it flies in the air, it's several times faster than a level 5 assassin with full agility. If this 'luring the enemy' isn't done carefully, it could be life-threatening."

"This is a problem. Our plan must succeed the first time, otherwise, if that dragon becomes wary, it will be almost impossible to use traps in the future."

"."

Having inspected the camp during the day, the Black Dragon City group gained a clearer understanding of the Black Dragon's terrifying combat power.

It's safe to say that in a one-on-one fight, no one here can defeat that evil dragon.

A direct confrontation is never the best option unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, traps are absolutely necessary.

If it were a regular monster, that would be one thing, but those low-intelligence creatures could be easily lured into a trap with a little trickery.

But the dragon was clever, and they had to treat it as a cunning human; they couldn't afford to be careless.

Luring the enemy becomes crucial.

When this topic was brought up, everyone frowned.

Even a legendary werewolf like Bazel, who excels at speed and aggression, has no confidence whatsoever that he can lure the dragon into a trap and ensure his own safety.

At this moment, the taciturn Master Cavo spoke up.

He said, "Leave the task of luring that black dragon to me. Within a 20-kilometer radius, I'm fairly confident I can outrun it."

Upon hearing this, Rein and the others all relaxed.

This is the only one among all the legendary figures who came who said he was "confident".

No one has ever seen how powerful Master Cavo is when he goes all out, but everyone knows that Master Cavo is skilled in spatial magic.

Since he said he was confident, he must be.

At this point, Master Cavo added, "The black dragon is immune to almost all offensive magic below the sixth rank, so our magical traps will primarily focus on 'physical control.' After I lure it here, how we deal with it is up to you all."

This black dragon exists like a bug.

Originally, under the "law restrictions" of the Ice Ridge Wasteland, legendary combat power should have been the limit of power that this world could withstand.

A being like Master Cavo should be "invincible".

However, because that black dragon was a special race called "dragon," its physical body possessed a much stronger defense, making it completely immune to spells below the sixth rank.

With just this defense, it is invincible.

Upon hearing this, someone else spoke up, "We've now confirmed that the dragon is immune to all types of magic, but we still don't know the maximum defensive capability of its scales. What if, what if—I mean, what if—we can't hurt it?"

The Great Shaman Mafat said, "If conventional methods can't break the dragon's scales, my spear should. If I can't inflict a fatal wound on the black dragon, you should retreat first."

The [Morogos's God-Hunting Spear] in his hand is a genuine divine artifact. Although it has lost most of its divinity over the years, it is made of top-quality materials and is indestructible.

After several years of nurturing, Mafat was able to harness some of the power of this divine spear.

At this moment, Guy, standing to the side, gently stroked the large black sword in his hand and said, "I also have a sword technique that can definitely hurt it. But I'm not sure how much damage it will cause. If I break the seal on [Great Thousand Lacquer Night], I'm confident I can unleash a sword aura with sixth-tier power. But even if I can kill the dragon, that would definitely trigger a spatial rift, and everyone might be in danger then. It wouldn't be worth it."

This Evil Sword was also the sword of "Eight-Armed Ksitigarbha," the 47th ranked deity among the "Seventy-Two Divine Generals."

It is also a divine weapon.

Moreover, unlike Mafat's spear, this evil weapon has been feeding on wronged souls and human blood for tens of thousands of years, and its power is not much weaker than it was back then.

Unlocking some of the Evil Sword's power would likely severely injure the black dragon. However, the laws of the Ice Ridge Wasteland prevent Guy from unleashing the sword's full power.

Cavo, Mafat, Guy.

These three can be said to be the three people in the Ice Ridge Wasteland who have the most thorough understanding of Transcendent power, even half a level higher than the legendary ones.

Even the three of them working together weren't confident in dealing with this black dragon, so no one else could be sure.

But at this moment, Canossa, who had remained silent until now, spoke up.

A sharp glint flashed in her crystal eyes as she calmly said, "If that black dragon's defenses are the same as ours, or any other ordinary magical beast, I think I might be able to break through its defenses."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Rein's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes!

How could I forget her!

As a newly crowned legend, Canossa's fighting prowess was originally inferior to that of veteran legends like Bazel.

But that was before he secretly met with Rein!

During these years of arduous training, Canossa's cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds. She also mastered many of Rein's secret techniques.

For example, the stimulation of muscles by the Gang Line can quickly increase strength.

For example, [Condense Qi into Gang]!

The greatest function of this secret technique is to break through the enemy's Bodyguard Battle Qi even when the opponent is of a higher level!

This secret technique of compressing battle aura is still within the fifth-tier limit, but she can still deal damage beyond the fifth tier.

If that black dragon possesses the defensive power of a sixth-tier magical beast, then who could break through its defense with fifth-tier power would undoubtedly be Canossa.

Her current strength, golden body, and the level of refinement of her battle aura have all reached an astonishing level.

Since the secret training, Rein has lost all sense of Canossa's actual combat strength.

Even if it's just a friendly spar, she will definitely stop.

Because if she used her full strength, one punch could pierce through the Bodyguard Battle Qi of a "legendary Transcendent" person!

Although Canossa's current Transcendent realm cannot compare to the three veteran powerhouses of Mafat who have returned to simplicity, the destructive power of her fists is absolutely no less than anyone else's!

If the crisis from outside the region hadn't arrived, Rein and his group probably wouldn't have bothered with the black dragon until they were fully prepared.

But now, they don't have much time left.

Dragon hunting is imperative.

This operation is bound to be risky, but those present are all High-tier Extraordinary at least at the Fourth Tier, all of whom have come from China through life-and-death trials.

The fear of death did not deter them.

The group brainstormed and considered almost every possible emergency.

As a "Tier 5 combatant" and a key medic, Rein is also on the list of frontline combat personnel.

"Alright, that concludes the Dragon Hunting Plan. Starting tomorrow, Transcendent below the fifth rank will be relegated to the sidelines. If any problems arise during our hunt, immediately initiate the evacuation plan."

"The reconnaissance team will be led by Captain Rhine. Once the black dragon leaves its lair, you will be responsible for infiltrating and investigating. Report any findings immediately."

"Logistics team, be careful. The Black Dragon might summon nearby magical beasts and unleash Beast Tide. When that happens, you'll work with Priest Kolman to drive them away; we can't let them interfere with our hunt."

"Mechanic Team, in critical situations, survival is paramount."

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

The dragon-hunting plan was finalized at midnight.

The buildings in the camp were destroyed by the dragon, so everyone had to set up tents to spend the night.

As always, Wudo acted like a dutiful wife, making the bed and preparing the barbecue.

Although they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, Rein had long since gotten used to living with his little secretary, Wudo.

"Doctor Rein, the bed is ready."

Everyone in the camp took it for granted when Wudo greeted them.

Everyone knows about the relationship between Wudo and Rein, just as everyone in the city knows that Rein is Ymir's man.

Rein glanced at Canossa, who seemed completely unconcerned and even gave him a meaningful, ambiguous smile.

Rein and Wudo's "cohabitation" didn't start overnight; it had been going on long before Black Dragon City was even built.

No one will find it strange.

Moreover, Canossa and Wudo had a very good relationship, and the three of them often slept in the same room together in the past.

She felt that since Rein and Wudo hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, she wanted to give them some private space to be alone together.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wudo enthusiastically invited, "Miss Canossa, you must come too!"

The invitation from the Kolman Tribe must be the most sincere, so how could Canossa refuse? She smiled and said, "Okay."

And so, the three of Rein ended up sharing a tent.

They ate barbecue in the tent and then chatted.

It was just like when they used to chat under the same roof.

"There are so many Wyrm-type Demonic Beast here, I really want to tame them all and make them my battle partners,"

"We also discovered a black and white giant bear; its fur was very beautiful, and it was quite formidable."

"."

Wudo talked excitedly about her six months of hunting in the wilderness.

Of course, as they chatted, all she could talk about was how much she cared about Rein.

"Doctor Rein, and you?"

"I've been cultivating for the past six months."

"Wow, Doctor Rein has become so amazing. Are you with Miss Canossa? I feel your auras are somewhat similar."

"Wudo, can you sense my battle aura?"

"Doctor Rein, I've gotten stronger too, okay? The [Myriad Beast Totem] is really amazing; it allows me to sense the 'Voice of All Things.'"

"."

Inside the tent was only a large bed made of animal hide.

There were three people in the apartment in Black Dragon City. No, sometimes four, plus Ymir.

They will stay in the same room.

I didn't mind before, and I certainly won't mind now.

Rein lay in the middle, with Canossa and Wudo on either side.

At this point, Canossa also noticed that Wudo had grown much taller than the two of them.

She smiled and said, "Wow, Wudo, you've grown so tall!"

Wudo frowned, looking somewhat worried, and said directly, "The tribespeople say I might grow even taller, which confuses me. I'll be much taller than Doctor Rein in the future. Will he think I'm too tall?"

The Kolman Tribe express their inner thoughts very directly and simply.

Hearing this, Rein laughed and replied, "How could that be? It would be better if our Wudo grew taller."

"Whee."

Upon hearing this, Wudo was immediately delighted.

In her mind, if Rein said he would like it, then he really would.

The three chatted idly for a while, and then the magic lamp went out.

The tent was completely dark.

Rein stared at the dark ceiling, feeling a strange sense of wonder.

Two warm, delicate bodies lay beside him, their skin touching intimately.

Now, Wudo is a stunningly beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure, no longer someone you could call a "little girl."

After an unknown amount of time, Wudo soft mutter came from the darkness, "Doctor Rein, you've poked me with your elbow."

Beside them, Canossa couldn't help but let out a suggestive laugh.
