Chapter 79 Gene Invasion 5
Before she had gone far, a creature was thrown towards her by its tail. Lin Xia glanced at the distance; the tail was incredibly long. What kind of lizard was it?
A huge mouth lunged at the two of them, its thick, long tail whipping around and blocking any escape routes.
Two throwing knives were flung out; one struck the body, while the other slashed at the tail. With two sharp "clangs," only two white marks remained.
Its tail was very flexible, and the spikes on it chipped a gash in the throwing knife.
The lizard, in pain, opened its mouth and lunged, standing up and thrashing its tail in agony, completely blocking the path.
When the tail lashed out again, the spikes were aimed at Lin Xia. Throwing knives circled around him, constantly deflecting the spikes on the tail. This lizard's body was very clumsy, but its tail was very agile.
Not wanting to waste all his throwing knives here, and seeing the tiger chasing after him, Lin Xia exchanged for a [Medium-level Protective Shield] just to be on the safe side. He pressed a throwing knife against the spikes, gripped the long sword tightly, and slashed at the side of the tail without spikes, sending the long tail flying.
Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it could be cut. At least it wasn't made of iron. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she jumped heavily onto the lizard and started running quickly.
The lizard, in pain, thrashed about, trying to throw Lin Xia off. Lin Xia ran steadily, her long sword flashing as she parried the tail. How could the tail be so long? Even after cutting off a section, it was still quite long.
The throwing knife spun, attempting to sneak up on the lizard's eyes, but the lizard's eyelids could also withstand the attack.
With a sudden change of direction, three throwing knives flew towards the tiger that had stopped, grazing its leg in the same spot, splattering blood. The tiger roared in pain and chased after the throwing knives towards the lizard.
The lizard turned its head towards the tiger, and the spikes on its back trembled. Lin Xia ran to the lizard's head and, taking advantage of the moment the tiger's claws slammed down, viciously stabbed the lizard into one of its eyes.
The lizard suddenly stood up straight, its head snapping back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xia pushed off with her feet and lunged forward.
Just as Lin Xia was about to land, the base of a small red flower in front of her suddenly split open, and a larger flower bud burst out of the ground, bringing with it a string of bones from underground—bones of people, rats, and other unknown animals.
Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, with bits of meat hanging from them, and it lunged at Lin Xia.
Five throwing knives arrived in an instant, piercing the flower bud even faster than Lin Xia, smashing her sharp teeth to pieces, while Lin Xia landed steadily.
The lizard's long tail followed, and Lin Xia ran and jumped to avoid it, not knowing what kind of creature it was or why its tail was so long!
After running a long way, looking back, the tiger and the lizard were fighting. The tiger's long tail whipped the lizard, tearing its skin, but after a while, the tiger gained the upper hand.
It was fast and agile; with a single swipe of its claws, it tore apart the lizard's armor-like skin. Only then did Lin Xia realize that the lizard was actually quite fast.
After standing up, it keeps its forelimbs close to its body, runs extremely fast with its hind legs, and when it swings its tail, trees break and rocks fly everywhere. Its claws are also very sharp.
It quickly bypassed the tiger and ran towards Lin Xia. Had it set its sights on him? Lin Xia checked the time. The shield had 25 minutes left. He needed to finish this quickly and not waste the shield's time.
She glanced at the lizard's belly, which was a pale yellow color and looked much softer than the armor on its back, no wonder it didn't stand up.
After scanning the area with his mental energy and seeing that everyone around him had run far away, Lin Xia no longer cared. He took out the wood element card and the metal element card, and long vines shot out, entangling the unsuspecting lizard and tiger.
The daggers, composed entirely of metal-based supernatural abilities, were even faster, flying in swarms towards the lizard's belly.
Even the fastest long tail can slip through the net. The gold-type throwing knife pierced a hole in the lizard's belly, and subsequent throwing knives all went through the hole.
The lizard swung its long tail repeatedly, smashing the vines that bound it, and then used its forelimbs to slam its body down.
But it was too late. The metal-type power had entered his body and was wreaking havoc inside him. He stopped moving after a short while.
The metal-type supernatural throwing knife aimed at the tiger was obstructed. While its body was indeed easy to pierce, the tiger's long fur deflected the knife's trajectory with ease.
Its sharp claws quickly severed the vines binding it, but the vines continued to grow. It then changed its aim, throwing knives at its eyes, as it didn't have the same high defense as a lizard.
No matter how powerful it was, it couldn't withstand the dragging and binding of countless vines, and Lin Xia got his hands on it in no time.
Watching the blind tiger, its tail thrashing wildly, sending sand and stones flying, ordinary throwing knives flying around and cutting the tiger, its belly torn apart and its intestines ripped out, crashing to the ground.
Lin Xia quickly put away the [Intermediate Protection Shield]. There were still 16 minutes left, and she couldn't waste them.
After staring at the corpses for a while, Lin Xia looked at the lizard's skin and the tiger's claws with some regret. After thinking for a moment, she used a throwing knife to peel off the lizard's skin and claws, as well as the tiger's skin and claws, bit by bit.
Completely intact, without a single scrap of meat or fat, Lin Xia took a look and then put it into her spatial storage.
Someone approached from a distance, glanced cautiously at Lin Xia, and seeing that Lin Xia ignored him and quickly ran towards the tiger's carcass.
Lin Xia looked at him in confusion, only to see him rub his arm against the tiger's teeth, and with a forceful movement, blood flowed out.
His face was pale, clearly still frightened: "The tiger must be the most powerful, right? It's better than being bitten by a mouse, thank you." With that, he ran away.
Seeing that Lin Xia really didn't stop it, many people ran over, thanked Lin Xia, and then ran towards the body.
"Lizards have high defense, I want a lizard."
"Could you do both of them?"
I advise you not to.
"Are you really not going to give it a try? You might not get another chance like this."
"No, I don't want to become a tiger lizard, I want to be a human."
"Can people even survive? If the mutation is successful, we won't be affected by mosquitoes anymore. Wouldn't that be better than now? We don't even know how we died."
"Yes, I don't want to be an incubator for insects. I'm willing to take the risk and give it a try, what if it succeeds?"
"What if it turns into an animal?"
"Then I'm the best too! Isn't that better than being treated as an incubator?"
Those who were hesitant became even more swayed.
Lin Xia turned and left. She didn't know if these people's choices were right, but that saying was very true: even if they turned into animals, they would be among the best and wouldn't die easily.
But now she doesn't know if she will retain her consciousness after turning into an animal.
Complete animals, semi-animalized humans with some characteristics and rational memories, pure humans, and real animals and plants.
This world will be very chaotic.
