Zhao Gaotian's second uncle took a sip of water, swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile.
"I have long expected that after you find out that your father is in a coma, you will ignore all objections.
You vowed to enter the Dark Abyss Grotto to find the legendary spiritual plant that can cure hundreds of poisons and save your father, so after seeing you, I was not surprised at all."
"Second uncle still knows me best!" Lizard Gaotian smiled in his heart.
At this time, Lizard Gaotian's second uncle's ears moved and he caught an unusual sound in the silent darkness. He stood up instinctively and shouted to everyone, "Be careful, the strange beast is here again."
As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow jumped out from the darkness. With a flick of its tongue, it wrapped around the nearest lizard man warrior and was about to sweep it away.
"boom!"
Amidst the cracking sound of the ground, half of Lizard Gaotian's second uncle, who had already stepped into the peak level of the third level, rushed out like a cannonball and slammed into the black shadow of his subordinate who was attacking him.
The moment the incoming alien beast was knocked away, it flicked its tail and hit Uncle Gao Tian on the back with a crisp sound.
The chainmail on Uncle Gaotian's back cracked, and the clothes he was wearing were also torn open by the attack, and fine drops of blood leaked from his exposed skin.
After the alien beast was knocked away, it disappeared into the darkness and suddenly made no sound, as if it had just retreated.
But Lizard Gaotian's second uncle did not relax his vigilance. While listening attentively, he expanded his senses to capture the clues around him and reminded his subordinates.
"Everyone, be careful. This strange beast is very cunning. Be careful not to let it sneak up on us."
The psychic energy fluctuations shown by the strange beast just now showed that it has the strength of the third high level. Lizard Gaotian held his big halberd and stood ready together with the lizardman warriors.
In this half day, the lizard warriors who participated in this operation died one after another, which also allowed those who survived to figure out the temperament of this strange beast.
That strange beast didn't dare to stand up to Lizard Gaotian's second uncle. It liked to hide in the darkness and wait for opportunities to sneak up on its prey.
As long as the attack is successful, it will immediately retreat, and it will not appear again until the next opportunity comes.
Lizard Gaotian's second uncle slowly backed away and snatched the torch from Lizard Gaotian's hand. His face was full of seriousness. He held the torch and listened for a moment, then suddenly threw the torch away.
In the flickering firelight, everyone saw a huge lizard beast covered with black scales attached to the stone wall in the distance.
Its two jet-black eyes are located on both sides of its cheeks. Their expressions are slightly dull, and they seem to be very insensitive to light.
Lizard Gaotian saw the appearance of the strange beast clearly for the first time. It was less than 3 meters long, its tail was as long as its body, and its whole body was covered with thick black scales.
"This is the legendary overlord of the Dark Abyss Grotto, the black-scaled lizard beast!" Gao Tian, who saw the black-scaled lizard beast for the first time, thought in his heart.
The moment the firelight illuminated the alien beast, Uncle Gao Tian, who had filled his stomach, showed his powerful explosive power.
The strength that was about to break through to the peak of the third level was fully deployed. It silently bent its knees, suddenly bounced, and disappeared before the sound of the ground beneath its feet was shattering.
The black-scaled lizard attached to the rock wall noticed something unusual, swayed and disappeared.
Uncle Gao Tian, who has rich combat experience, is in hot pursuit. One man and one beast are fighting in the tomb chamber, and the sound of "dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang" from the fight is heard in the darkness.
The collision between fists and feet reverberated with loud sounds, like the sound of bells ringing continuously, and like the hammering of a blacksmith. The fists glowing with aura hit the body of the black-scaled lizard beast, and sometimes dazzling sparks would burst out.
After a while, everyone heard the roar of the black-scaled lizard, followed by Uncle Lizard Gaotian's shout. Then there was no more movement in the darkness, and everything returned to calm.
"Second Uncle!" Lizard Gaotian shouted towards the dark place where he felt the spiritual energy fluctuations.
In the deathly silence, Uncle Gao Tian's second uncle could be heard moaning, "It hurts me to death. The scales of this black-scaled lizard are really strong."
Immediately afterwards, Lizard Gaotian's second uncle walked out of the darkness, dragging the body of the black-scaled lizard beast in his hand.
"My lord is mighty!" cheers rang out. When the lizard warriors saw their superiors, they killed the hateful black-scaled lizard beast, and each of them roared to vent their frustration.
Lizard Gaotian's second uncle threw the body of the black-scaled lizard in front of everyone. Lizard Gaotian stabbed the black-scaled lizard with the big halberd in his hand, and found that his weapon could not easily pierce its scales.
.
This discovery made Lizard Gaotian a little happy. He happily said to his second uncle, "If the scales of this black-scaled lizard are used as armor, it would be an excellent armor!"
"Yes, but we don't have time to deal with it." Lizard Gaotian's second uncle said regretfully.
Also, there are dangers in the Dark Abyss Grotto, and we can't stay in one place for too long... Lizard Gaotian nodded and continued, "This black-scaled lizard beast looks like it has a lot of meat, can we eat it?"
"You can't eat it. The black-scaled lizard has been growing in the Dark Abyss Grotto for many years. It eats poisonous carrion to grow. The meat on its body is highly poisonous to us." Lizard Gaotian's second uncle explained.
"Hoo, ho, ho..."
Just when Lizard Gaotian and his team were boosted in morale because they had killed a third-level high-level black-scaled lizard beast, the sound of wind suddenly filled the passage ahead.
The sound of the wind, carrying the fishy smell, blew out everyone's torches at once.
The sound of the wind is like breathing, rising and falling rhythmically.
"No, this is just the sound of breathing, not the sound of wind at all!" Everyone's heart sank.
There was a lizard man warrior who used his own power to explore in the direction of the breathing sound. His face turned pale and he said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, Young City Master, there is a huge alien beast lying in front of you."
The newly boosted morale, due to this sudden change, everyone's joy completely disappeared, and their hearts sank.
All the lizard warriors stared closely at the place where the sound of breathing came from, and there was a trace of cold sweat on the palms of their weapons.
"Go and light the torch." Lizard Gaotian's second uncle ordered his subordinates.
A lizard man warrior obeyed Uncle Lizard Gaotian's order and quickly took out a flint and steel from his arms, starting a fire with a "click" sound.
Immediately afterwards, Lizard Gaotian looked at his second uncle with a solemn expression, "Second uncle, can you still fight in your current state?"
Uncle Gao Tian, who had consumed more than half of his spiritual energy, did not directly answer his nephew's question.
Its eyes are fixed on the distance, and the muscles on its body are tense, ready to fight to the death against the powerful enemy hiding in the darkness.
