Chapter 76 Unreliable

"Huh, Yunxiang, your water mask is poisoned!" Qi Lian added, panting, "The color has become darker."

"Hey, it's true. Everyone stay away from the water shield."

"They're chasing us again!"

"Here, not here!"

"Why do I feel like these desert monitors aren't as powerful as you say? Besides their tails, what other tricks do they have?" Qi Lian was getting annoyed. Their attacks were completely insignificant, and this way of running away without a fight was too frustrating. "How about we just do it!"

"No, they are obviously hiding their strength!" Huang Shanshan was the first to object. Because she had seen it before, she felt that Qi Lian's proposal was inappropriate.

"Can--"

"How about we hide in the defensive talisman and attack again? This scene seems familiar to me." Yun Xiang frowned, "Let's see what they're up to."

"Let's do it!" Everyone stopped immediately and launched a fierce attack on the mutated desert monitor lizard that was chasing them.

"Bang!" "Bang!" One after another, the monitor lizards, unafraid of the attack, pounced frantically on the water shield, determined to scare off the enemy. Their limbs firmly attached to the water shield like magnets.

The water shield is like a magnifying glass, and the concave snout, sharp teeth, slanted nostrils, and even the tiny scales on the head can be seen clearly, which is very scary.

"Bang!"... The monitor lizards continued to climb onto the water shield, so densely packed that they almost filled the remaining gaps, but they refused to attack. Fortunately, they didn't have trypophobia, otherwise they would have been lying dead.

The water inside the enclosure grew increasingly dark, and the air thinned. Yun Xiang hurriedly pulled out several freezing talismans and handed them to Xie Yu, Lin Ziyu, and the others, instructing them to each take a few people and flee separately. She withheld the freezing talismans out of concern that their power might be too great and could also freeze the rest of the group. If it were just Bai Mingyang and his sister, she would have attacked them without hesitation.

“…1—retreat!”

"Bang, bang!" The leading few were frozen, and everyone ran wildly in all directions.

"Damn, we've disturbed their lair." Qi Lian wiped the sweat from his head, still wanting to chat with Yun Xiang.

"Maybe this is their lair!" Yun Xiang looked at the desert monitors running behind him and felt a headache.

"Hey, why are you here?" Qi Lian looked at Xie Yu and the others in surprise. Weren't they running in the opposite direction?

"They chased us, we ran, and then we ran into you." Xie Yu's face was solemn. He roughly guessed the purpose of the giant lizard. Yun Xiang also guessed it. This was exactly the same question she drew in the college entrance examination.

Sure enough, they soon ran into Xie Yu, Chu Xu, Lin Ziyu, and the others. Everyone gathered together again, and as the group continued to grow, Zeng Li, Bie Nao, Teng Chong... Bai Mingyang and the others were lucky to be driven here so early, and they still had several waves of people to encounter. If the timing wasn't right, everyone would really want to beat these people up.

"Are we almost at the exit?"

"We are not running towards the exit, but towards the center."

"I'm going, what?"

"I have a map of the Lost City at home," Zeng Li pulled out a map from his pocket. "Look at these buildings. They're exactly the same as here."

"how so?"

"The giant lizards didn't attack, but deliberately chased us to the center of the maze city, which means that their base camp is there."

"What's the point of gathering us all there? Is it fresh? After all, if we kill them here, they might get moldy if we drag them there. Haha..." Don't make trouble and have fun by yourself.

"Tsk, your joke is not funny at all. Monitor lizards are not picky eaters and will eat carrion too." Tengchong said contemptuously.

"So?" Don't object unconvinced.

"Of course there are other purposes!" Although Tengchong didn't know, he would definitely not drive them anywhere for no reason.

"What's the purpose?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

"What, you want to deliver it to my door?"

"Wrong, everyone has to come to our door!"

"Are you kidding me, President?" Bie Nao turned to Zeng Li and said in a serious tone, "We should figure out how to get out now."

"We still haven't met several groups of people yet. They should have reached the center of the maze city first."

"Hey, these brats, they ran away really fast."

"Maybe it's because we struggled for too long. Look, those who stayed are all those with high fighting power. Except for Bai Mingyang and his companions, they came in later." While Xie Yu praised his own people, he did not forget to help Bai Mingyang to arouse hatred.

After Xie Yu's reminder, it was indeed true. So everyone stopped trying too hard and tried to conserve their strength. The real competition began when they entered the center of the Lost City. Soon, everyone met in front of the former Lost City's City Hall. As expected, You Hao and his group arrived first.

"President, you're finally here! I'm so excited. You have no idea how terrifying those desert monitor lizards are. Not only are they fast, but they also deliberately hide at the bottom of the wall and ambush us when we come over. Their slimy bodies—"

"Stop, Tong You, that's enough! It's already this late, and you're still dragging your feet." He said, voicing everyone's thoughts, "Where's You Hao?"

"Look, he's been writing and drawing on that stone for almost an hour. I wouldn't be surprised if he got eaten one day. President, I think you should keep him under control. At least don't let him be so stubborn during missions, mumbling calculations even when he's being pinned down by a giant lizard.

I don't know if he was lucky or the monitor lizard was disabled, but it didn't bite him. Instead, it rolled him up with its tail and threw him to me, causing me to fall heavily. I had to get up and carry him while running. You see, how could I attack while carrying such a heavy load? So I ran forward with all my might, and when I realized what was happening, I had already arrived here. Then the monitor lizards suddenly disappeared. We were worried about the situation, so we stayed here and waited for you. After all, there is strength in numbers.

If this happens again next time, I will definitely not care about him. No, we are from the same club after all, it’s a bit unfair. You should not let him team up with me, I...”

"Shut up!" Tengchong grabbed Tong You by the back of the collar, pulled him aside and gave him a severe scolding. The world was finally quiet.

Didn't they see a single mutant monitor lizard here? They must have been annoyed by him and left. They might as well just do nothing and let him lead the team and clear the way, making the best use of his resources.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on?" Tengchong asked.

"Hey, didn't I just say it? You didn't listen carefully. That's a pity. Do you want me to repeat it again? I can explain it in more detail." If you want me to shut up, then go and choose by yourself, humph!

"...You Hao! You Hao!"

"Ah? Hmm? Wait, I will be able to figure out this line soon, and then I can adjust the controller." You Hao looked excited, immersed in the joy of his own success, and probably didn't even know where he was. Count on him to say anything, haha.
