"Forget about the ordinary Explosive Fire Dragons! Focus all our fire on the elite aliens, or we won't be able to hold on!"
The leader of the professional team, a level 29 swordsman, spoke.
Besides him and another warrior, there was only one mage, one assassin, and one priest.
This team's damage output was decent, but only the warrior could truly withstand the damage.
The priest in the back row used almost all of his skills on the warrior, but under the attack of the elite Explosive Fire Dragon, the warrior's health was dwindling.
"No! While the elite aliens are powerful, these ordinary Explosive Fire Dragons are no slouch either," the mage in the back row said.
The scorching breath kept approaching, and the damage from the flaming aura was unavoidable. He had already lost a third of his health. If he was hit by the dragon's breath again, he would likely be completely wiped out.
"Take down the Explosive Fire Dragon in front of me first!"
the mage said, immediately unleashing a volley of ice spikes to try to force back the aliens.
But just then, the swordsman's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Wang Gang, get out of the way immediately! Quick!"
A fiery dragon suddenly charged forward, unleashing a stream of scorching breath, charging down towards the mage.
The mage's expression suddenly changed. Without hesitation, his boots ignited with a burst of cyan energy, instantly sending him hurtling forward three meters.
Almost as soon as he left his spot, a surging wave of heat washed over him. The area he had been standing on was engulfed in intense flames, and a massive crater had been carved into the ground.
"That was a close call!"
The mage steadied himself, a look of shock on his face.
Fortunately, the captain had warned him in time, or he'd likely be dead by now.
His teammates breathed a sigh of relief, but it wasn't out of genuine concern for the mage's safety, but rather because if he were killed, their own deaths would be practically certain.
At this moment, the elite alien, unable to defeat him, grew increasingly ferocious.
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, the Explosive Fire Dragon Elite entered a berserk state, its health rapidly recovering and its attack, defense, and attack speed significantly increasing.
"It's over!"
Several members of the team paled.
The battle was already difficult, and now the elite alien had entered a berserk state, it was even more difficult.
The swordsman, the team leader, looked extremely grim. He dared not hold back, using a healing scroll on himself and sparing no effort to resist the elite alien's attacks.
"Use the communication badge!" the swordsman shouted. Those
who could enter Yinlong City were generally from major factions, and like Gu Chen, they all had an identity badge.
This badge not only recorded the professional's combat performance, but also allowed them to call for help from their faction.
However, how far was this place from the outpost outside the city?
Even a fourth-level bone dragon at full speed would have taken an entire night to fly.
Calling for help now was a matter of whether it would arrive. If it did, all they would have to do was collect the bodies.
Just as everyone was despairing, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.
A fiery dragon, covered in dark red scales, descended from the sky. With a single attack, it forced the elite alien to retreat.
Dozens of bloodline descendants then emerged, launching a frenzied assault on the five fiery dragons.
In an instant, the professional team, already in dire straits, found themselves in a corner, their expressions of shock turning to a state of stupor.
"What happened?"
The swordsman captain remained in his previous defensive stance, though the battle now had no bearing on him.
At the same moment, Gu Chen's figure appeared.
"Give me the Marked Energy, and you can retreat."
The swordsman captain and the four others behind him paused for a moment, then regained their composure.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. Thank you for saving us."
"Don't overthink it. I just want the Marked Energy,"
Gu Chen said bluntly, unwilling to elaborate, not even to accept a favor.
Without a word, the five professionals threw themselves at Gu Chen, handing over their Marked Energy.

As Gu Chen absorbed the energy of the five professional marks, his experience bar suddenly surged, earning him nearly 90,000 more experience. Meanwhile
, the five ordinary aliens were steadily being beaten back by the vampire descendants.
The vampire fire dragon transformed from the boss had significantly improved its stats, and now it was dominating the Explosive Fire Dragon Elite.
Undeterred, the vampire overlord unleashed a barrage of bullets, raining down bullets like a torrential rain. In a split second, the Explosive Fire Dragon collapsed to the ground.

"What did I see? Such horrific damage!"
The retreating professionals gaped in disbelief.
Those tough-skinned Explosive Fire Dragons were slain in a single breath. It
was unbelievable.
Fighting off these aliens was already a struggle for them; if Gu Chen hadn't appeared, they would have nearly perished. Yet,
how could these aliens, which had nearly annihilated them, be reduced to mere foes in a novice dungeon by this mysterious figure? With
this ferocious attack, it was easy to say he'd whittled them down like melons and vegetables.
"Summoner? When did summoners become so powerful?" the swordsman captain's face littered with astonishment.
"I can't see the level, but he's probably a Tier 3 or 4 summoner," the priest said nearby.
"He looks so young, perhaps even younger than me. He can't be Tier 4, right?" the mage speculated.
Gu Chen paid no attention to the others' comments. After collecting the Mark Energy, his gaze remained fixed on the Explosive Fire Dragon Elite.
Killing an elite alien should earn him over 20,000 experience points.
Add to that the five ordinary aliens nearby, and the five professionals who surrendered, and you could earn at least 170,000 experience points.
Yinlong City truly is a great place!
This time I really made the right choice!
Add to that the scattered alien races killed on the way, the five professionals just now, and the Explosive Fire Dragon BOSS.
In just half a day, I got about 300,000 experience points.
It is no exaggeration to say that the experience gained in this half day is equivalent to several months of growth for an ordinary professional.
At this moment, the professional next to him noticed that Gu Chen was going to deal with the Explosive Fire Dragon Elite.
The swordsman captain's face changed slightly, and he quickly reminded:
"Be careful, the Explosive Fire Dragon Elite is in a violent state..."
