"That means this disaster is related to a monster. That's all he could calculate; as for the rest, we don't know!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yuan was immediately overjoyed.
“Since it’s a monster, then there’s no problem. I think the convoy can continue. Tell the high priest that even if monsters come, we’re not afraid. We have guns. They just need to stay in the vehicles!”
Fang Yuan glanced at Lu Yuan, then translated his words to the High Priest.
Upon hearing this, the high priest frowned, muttered something incoherently, and looked furious, as if he were about to fight someone to the death.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Yuan could only shrug slightly: "Alright, it's decided then. Let's go, we don't have much time left!"
Lu Yuan didn't want to argue with the high priest. Anyway, he had a gun, so it wouldn't delay things. If it were another disaster, Lu Yuan would have to think it over carefully.
So the caravan continued on its way, with the high priest and his companions sitting in the carriage, each looking anxiously out the window.
The mountain range is very long, with valleys on both sides. The roads are not too badly damaged. Apart from the occasional loose rocks blocking the way that need to be cleared, there is not much else to do.
The convoy wasn't traveling very fast, mainly because there were no vanguard vehicles available. They maintained a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, which was a bit slow for Lu Yuan, and was primarily to guard against monster attacks.
After traveling for a day and a night, everyone on the vehicle was exhausted, and the vehicle began to be inspected. Lu Yuan told everyone to set up camp where they were.
He ordered several squads to keep watch in the vicinity. Their area was still inside the Grand Canyon, surrounded by towering mountains, the snow on the mountains making the entire valley shine brightly.
Soon, the people cooking nearby finished preparing the meal. Lu Yuan sat on a rock with his rice bowl in his hand, looking at the nearby mountains, secretly calculating how far they still had to go.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the mountaintop, and everyone immediately became alert. Lu Yuan instructed everyone to take their searchlights and shine them in the direction of the mountain.
However, after looking over, he found nothing. Lu Yuan thought he had misheard, so he continued eating.
However, just a few minutes later, the rustling sound started again, and Lu Yuan's heart tightened immediately.
So Lu Yuan ordered all the searchlights in the convoy to be turned on and aimed at the nearby mountains to prevent the lizard monsters from ambushing them.
About half an hour later, another loud noise came from the mountaintop. It seemed as if something flew overhead. Lu Yuan quickly picked up the lamp and shone it on his head.
Dozens of enormous lizard monsters appeared in the sky, with long tails and two huge wings flapping as they flew toward them.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately tensed up and quickly shouted loudly to his surroundings.
"A lizard monster is attacking from above! Everyone be careful and take cover!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of spraying slime came from above, followed by a splashing sound like rain.
Lu Yuan and the others quickly hid in the car, leaving their belongings behind.
A few seconds later, a splashing sound came from the roof of the car, like water being poured on it.
Through the bright headlights, Lu Yuan saw green, sticky liquid flowing down the car window. A sour smell instantly hit him, making him feel dizzy.
"Oh no! This slime is highly toxic! Everyone, put on your gas masks immediately!"
To deal with these lizard monsters, Lu Yuan had already distributed gas masks to everyone.
After Lu Yuan gave this order, everyone quickly put on their masks and took up their guns to stand guard.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from afar, and Lu Yuan quickly picked up his flashlight and shone it into the distance.
In the distance, a truck was overturned by the lizard monster's attack, and the driver and his team members were all thrown out of the vehicle.
"Fire!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly, then grabbed the rifle beside him, opened the car door, and started firing at the dozens of huge lizard monsters in the sky.
The primitive people hiding in the carriage were terrified, trembling like rabbits. They prayed incessantly, muttering incantations as if they were welcoming a disaster.
Lu Yuan and his team reacted instantly, grabbing their rifles and firing continuously at the giant lizard monsters in the sky.
"Rat-a-tat-tat," a series of gunshots rang out, bullets forming a dense barrage in the sky, while the wounded lizard monsters let out screams of agony.
A few minutes later, the lizard monster disappeared, and a sour smell wafted through the convoy. Fortunately, everyone was wearing gas masks and protective suits, so it didn't have much of an effect.
Zhou Tong ran over with a rifle and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Yuan was alright.
"Old Zhou, quickly go and tally up the injured. If anyone is unconscious, give them the golden fruit to detoxify them!"
"Okay, I'll go right away. Please be careful!"
Lu Yuan nodded, and then began searching for the injured in the vicinity. Fortunately, their reaction was relatively timely this time, and there weren't many injured people. After some counting, there were about a dozen people who were injured when the vehicle overturned. The wounds weren't very big, and with simple bandaging, they could basically not affect their mobility. There were almost no poisoning cases.
