Chapter 81 - Scaled Lizard
"Good!" Su Tang couldn't help but cheer! But the cheers stopped abruptly!
The other dark red-scaled lizards were not scared away by the tragic death of their companions. Instead, they were completely aroused by the smell of blood!
They roared even more crazily, and two of them pounced on Tie Niu, tearing at his thick legs with their sharp claws!
The other two cunningly circumvented the Iron Bull's mountain of flesh and pounced from the side at the alert White Deer and Moon-Eating Rabbit! The fastest of them even clung to the edge of the platform, circling behind like a ghost, aiming directly at Chu Linyuan, who had his eyes closed as he cast the spell, and Xie Zhao, who was sound asleep!
"Looking for death!" A fierce gleam flashed in Luo Hongyi's eyes! Several dark blue ice needles shot out from her fingertips, as if they had eyes, shooting with incredible precision at the two scaly lizards that were pouncing on the white deer and the moon-eating rabbit! The ice needles were extremely fast and carried a biting chill!
The ice needles pierced the lizard's hard, dark red armor, but failed to penetrate completely! They only left a few white marks on the armor. The chill spread, slightly slowing their movements! These armor, strengthened by the abyssal evil spirit, possessed defenses far exceeding those of ordinary monsters!
“Roar!” The two scaly lizards were enraged, their turbid dark red eyes locked on Luo Hongyi. They abandoned the white deer and pounced on her fiercely! A fishy wind blew in their faces!
"Rabbit!" Bai Xiaolu's cold voice was tinged with urgency! The Moon-Eating Rabbit could no longer contain itself, and its tiny body suddenly leaped out! Its dark mouth opened wide, and a powerful devouring force instantly locked onto one of the scaly lizards that pounced on Luo Hongyi!
The lizard's forward momentum suddenly stopped, as if it was stuck in a quagmire, and it let out a terrified hiss!
The sharp claws of another scaly lizard were already right in front of Luo Hongyi! Luo Hongyi's beautiful face showed no fear at all, and a cold arc curved up her red lips. She didn't even retreat, but simply flicked her fingers!
A tiny, almost invisible dark green powder floated in the air like dust, and instantly blended into the fishy smell emitted by the lizard!
The scaly lizard froze! Its turbid dark red eyes were instantly covered with a strange, dark green hue! It let out a shrill, distorted howl, as if burned from within by invisible flames. Countless blisters instantly bulged beneath its dark red scales, and its skin festered and oozed with pus at a visible rate! After struggling for only two breaths, its massive body collapsed to the ground, twitching and transforming into a pool of foul-smelling dark green pus!
"How does my 'Bone-Eroding Soul-Eating Powder' taste?" Luo Hongyi sneered, and poisonous mist lingered around her fingertips again.
On the other side, the sharp claws of the two scaly lizards that pounced on Tie Niu tore fiercely on his bronze thighs!
Sparks flew! It was like scratching on fine iron! The lizard's claws, sharp enough to tear through rock, only left a few shallow white marks on the Iron Bull's skin, covered with dark green poisonous patterns and the brute force of stars! Not even a scratch!
"Are you tickling me?" Tie Niu grinned in a muffled voice. His huge palm stretched out like a pair of pliers, grabbing one of the scaly lizards by the neck! Star brute force exploded!
A tooth-grinding sound of bone cracking rang out! The scaly lizard's neck was instantly crushed! Its massive body drooped limply!
Seeing the situation was bad, the other lizard turned around and tried to escape! The black iron pot in Tie Niu's other hand came whistling with a fierce wind!
Another muffled thud! The lizard was hit so hard that its tendons and bones were broken, and it screamed and rolled off the platform!
At this moment, the fastest scaly lizard, which had sneaked up from behind, had already silently pounced behind Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao! Its turbid dark red eyes flashed with greed and violence. It opened its fang-filled mouth and bit Chu Linyuan's unprotected neck fiercely with a fishy smell!
“Brother, be careful!” Su Tang screamed in despair! She wanted to rush over, but it was too late!
A snow-white figure rushed out like lightning!
It was the Moon Devouring Rabbit! Following White Deer's command, it abandoned the scaly lizard it had trapped with its devouring power, bursting out at top speed and arriving first!
Its small body drew a white line in the air, and its black mouth did not swallow, but slammed into the side of the attacking lizard like a cannonball!
It was like being hit by a giant hammer! The scaly lizard's massive body was knocked back, and its fatal bite towards Chu Linyuan instantly missed! Its fangs scraped past Chu Linyuan's black robe, tearing a rip!
The Moon-Eating Rabbit was also bounced back by the recoil force, its snow-white fur was stained with fishy saliva, and its ruby eyes were full of ferocity.
"Beast!" Luo Hongyi's fierce shout followed! Several more condensed dark blue ice needles, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, fiercely pierced the head and eyes of the scaly lizard that had been knocked off its side!
This time, the ice needle penetrated a relatively vulnerable part! The lizard let out a shrill howl, struggled frantically for a few times, and finally collapsed to the ground, dark red blood mixed with brain matter gushing out.
The platform suddenly became quiet.
In just a few breaths, the battle was over, and several frenzied dark red lizards were slain.
There were a few more white marks on Tie Niu's body, Luo Hongyi was breathing slightly, and the Moon-Eating Rabbit's snow-white fur was a little messy.
Su Tang patted her chest in shock. Bai Xiaolu silently stepped forward, took Moon-Eating Rabbit back into his arms, and comforted him.
Chu Linyuan remained cross-legged, eyes closed, breathing in and out. It was as if the fatal sneak attack had just been a mere breeze across an iceberg. His hand on the Immortal Slayer Spear was as steady as a rock.
The hand pressing against Xie Zhao's chest continued to channel icy murderous energy without a tremor. Only his slightly rapid breathing and the frost that oozed and froze on his forehead indicated that he was not completely unconscious.
Luo Hongyi walked over to the scaly lizard corpse that had been knocked aside by the Moon Devouring Rabbit. He used a bone needle to pick up a bit of sticky dark red blood, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, frowning. "The poison has penetrated the bones, and the flesh and blood have been contaminated... The meat of this 'Abyss Blood Lizard' is too dirty to feed to a rabbit, let alone to nourish the idiot."
Tie Niu looked at the black iron pot he had sharpened, then at the lizard corpse on the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "Then... was I sharpening this pot... for nothing?"
"Stupid cow! Who wants to eat this garbage!" Luo Hongyi glared at him unhappily, but his eyes involuntarily swept across Chu Linyuan's pale face and the frost that kept condensing on his forehead. A trace of extremely obscure worry flashed in his eyes.
She walked to the edge of the platform, looking down at the boiling and roiling core of the evil spring below, which was constantly spewing out violent evil energy and attracting more creatures from the abyss, her red lips tightly pursed.
"We can't stay here... for long." Her voice was heavier than ever before. "Ice Tuozi can't hold out for much longer, and neither can the idiot's root poison. We must find a way... to get out!"
“But the road…” Su Tang looked at the passage below that was completely blocked by violent evil spirit, her face pale.
"The road is dead, but people are alive." A fierce look flashed in Luo Hongyi's eyes, and poisonous mist surged from his fingertips as he looked at the majestic and silent ancient dragon skeleton. "Since it can't rest in peace even after death, then... make use of its waste!"
Her gaze was cast into the depths of the dragon skeleton's spine, which was as winding as a mountain range, as if she was planning something.
Tie Niu carried his black iron pot and stood beside her silently.
