After thinking for a while, the third brother still felt it was inappropriate. "Let's take it," he said.
"All right"
"Lilith, go get it."
"Alright," a footprint appeared in the dust on the ground. After walking a short distance, a creature that walked upright, covered in green scales and looked like a lizard, appeared. It wore a technologically advanced suit of armor, had a face somewhat similar to a human, and was about the same size as a normal human.
The armor on her chest has a distinct protrusion, clearly indicating that this is the female of the three lizardmen, Lilith.
Gu Lingxiao was naturally unaware of these changes. As for why he was able to maintain his peak condition, it was naturally because his ability to devour and plunder was not restricted.
He didn't know why either. Right now, he could break through the air wall at any time if he wanted to leave. One punch definitely wouldn't be enough; he would have to attack one spot with all his might, a dozen or so punches.
Gu Lingxiao had tried touching the air wall before to see if it was still there. He felt a tremor after three punches. He didn't continue trying so as not to alert the person who trapped him, but he could still feel that it would break through in at most twenty punches. He could also punch it with all his might in less than five seconds.
Once they leave this place and their abilities are restored, the roles of hunter and prey should switch. Currently, we don't know where they are; we can only wait for them to come out.
As for why he was so sure that someone was ambushing him, it can only be said to be intuition. Besides, he hadn't encountered any trouble for so many days, so what was wrong with waiting a while?
Even if there wasn't an ambush, he could simply break through the invisible wall and leave. That's why he checks the invisible wall every now and then to see if it's still there.
I mainly wanted to see if I had gotten stronger. I wanted to get stronger gradually, so I wouldn't end up trapped in this situation. Fortunately, there was no sign of me getting stronger at all.
Gradually, Gu Lingxiao became impatient and wanted to rush out and use dark or light elements to search a wide area.
If he waits another day and still doesn't see anything, he'll go out and see what's going on.
"Only at the fifth stage, so weak, yet we made so many preparations." The findings left the lizardmen speechless.
"Something feels off," the third brother said.
"What are we waiting for? This creature probably has some kind of treasure that allows it to maintain its current state for so long. The fact that it couldn't break through my invisible wall after so many attempts shows that it's not very strong," the third brother continued to persuade.
"Alright, let's block out the sunlight and try a sneak attack. It can also suppress the opponent's light element abilities," Third Brother finally decided.
Although the other two lizardmen thought their third brother was being too cautious, they still carried out his orders.
Lilith took out a metallic sphere from the mechanical backpack on her back, feeling a little heartache.
This is a dark force field that costs thirty super energy crystals to buy. Since it is a technological weapon modified from crystals, it will not have much conflict with the disposable barrier.
The three lizardmen pressed the corners of their eyes, and their eyes were instantly covered by glasses. These were specially made glasses that could maintain vision in a dark field.
Lilith pressed the metallic sphere, and a virtual screen popped up, displaying a map of the surrounding area.
The metal sphere's anti-gravity system activated the moment Gu Lingxiao's location was selected on the map, and it flew out directly, landing above Gu Lingxiao's head and exploding.
In an instant, darkness surged in like a tide, engulfing everything around.
Gu Lingxiao noticed the metal sphere the moment it appeared and roughly saw the direction from which it was coming.
Were they hiding there the whole time? I didn't even notice them.
Darkness enveloped Gu Lingxiao, and he sensed that his senses were affected. Not only was he unable to see, but his hearing, smell, and all his senses were also significantly impaired.
"The unknown is what's most exciting," Gu Lingxiao said, starting to get excited.
They only trapped me before, but now they dare to make a move. Did they go to call for help? Or have they found someone to rely on?
Gu Lingxiao had no idea, but he was already on high alert. Gradually, the dark element became stronger and stronger. When it reached a certain threshold, his dark element showed faint signs of becoming usable.
Although it is very weak and cannot even form an attack, it can connect with the dark elements. As long as someone gets close to him and touches the dark elements around him, he can sense it.
The past few days had also made Gu Lingxiao realize that the attacker was a very cautious person, but this was excessive caution.
A flash of dark light appeared, and Gu Lingxiao stepped on a stone, turning slightly to avoid it.
With a deafening roar, the dark light pierced through the distant rocks, flattening a small hill.
The dark light wasn't fast, but it was very stealthy and silent. Its shape resembled a flying shuttle. Gu Lingxiao had just wanted to try to hit the injured person to lure out the person who was ambushing him. Fortunately, he maintained a basic sense of awe towards the unknown.
If this were to explode on him, he wouldn't necessarily die, but without the help of rapid regeneration, he would be weakened for a while.
"Oh, how could it miss? Wilson, what are you good for? My super energy crystal is gone again!" Lilith cursed through the telepathic channel.
"Didn't you see? He walked quite far away. What can I do? Give me another Dark Light Shuttle, and this time it'll definitely hit."
"No, no, no! We've already used a weapon worth eighty super-energy crystals to kill this creature. If we keep using it, we won't make any profit. If we don't buy the right thing, we'll even lose money," Lilith said with a pained expression.
"Even if our abilities are blocked, we, one or two at stage seven and one at stage six, still can't deal with a stage five evolved creature?"
Third Brother was finally persuaded.
"Okay, let's do it together."
When the three creatures, which seemed somewhat strange to Gu Lingxiao, quietly approached him, he was somewhat surprised. The previous arrangements, their now lively eyes, and the equipment they wore all indicated that these three creatures possessed extremely high intelligence.
"Other races? This is getting more and more interesting. I just wonder if we can communicate with them," Gu Lingxiao thought to himself, not sensing any great danger from the three lizardmen.
Without hesitation, Gu Lingxiao aimed the Barrett S-11 at one of them and pulled the trigger without pausing.
With a loud bang, the lizardman was instantly sent flying, but Gu Lingxiao sensed a layer of light rising from its armor, preventing it from being killed.
Lilith felt a sharp pain and was then thrown into the air.
He could have dodged it, but she froze for a moment when he was being targeted, because that meant the other party was not affected by the dark force and could still see them.
So what happened when they were so careful, even activating the silencing system, slowly approaching? Weren't they just sitting ducks?
