The next day, the Vulcan team entered the territory of the armored lizard.
The lizard dragon's territory is very dry. Although it has not yet reached the level of desertification, the vegetation here is low and sparse, and the sun is hot.
"There is a road going south from here that leads to the Burning Plains." Hu Yan mentioned casually.
The Burning Plains is currently the most advanced area in China's southward direction, and it is also the most dangerous area in the proven area.
Jiang Kai compared the location given by the information card and confirmed the location of the nearest warrior-level lizard.
Because it was too hot here, the team chose to walk along some rocks as much as possible to use the shadows to avoid the scorching sun.
Just as the team set off towards their destination, a huge gray figure suddenly jumped out from the depths of the gap under the rock.
The guy's body was huge, more than 2.5 meters long, and its color was similar to that of rocks. You couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully. It had its limbs close to the ground, dragging its long tail, twisting its body, crawling quickly on the ground, and jumped directly.
come over.
The armored lizards are called "iron armor". Their bodies are covered with thick armor-like skin, and sharp weapons must be used to break through their defenses.
Its defensive capabilities are equivalent to the scales on the back of the bicorn fishmen, but there are no scales on the chest and abdomen of the bicorn fishmen. As long as they have no time to dodge, they can still be killed.
The weakest part of the armored lizard is also its chest and abdomen, but the problem is that they are reptiles, and their chest and abdomen are close to the ground, so they cannot attack directly!
The armored lizard dragon spit out a long message, and with its gray-white eyes fixed on Jiang Kai, who was nearest to him, he rushed over quickly!
Jiang Kai was about to dodge, but he suddenly remembered that the reason why Zhu Zhu's rating was only E-level was largely because it was difficult for him to activate his potential state.
Thinking of this, Jiang Kai deliberately pretended not to see the lizard dragon. He just used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the lizard dragon's movements. When necessary, he had time to enter the "virtual" state.
"Armor team, be careful!" Hu Yan is the highest level here, and he is also the second to discover the lizard.
Based on Hu Yan's understanding of Jiang Kai, Kai Team's observation ability is very strong. In the past hunting, Kai Team would be the first to discover the beast almost every time.
Situations like today are rare!
Unfortunately, Hu Yan's position was at the end of the team, and he was not good at moving, so it was almost too late.
At this moment, Yuan Zhu, who was following Jiang Kai, suddenly let out a scream!
"ah!"
Hu Yan and Ruan Yu were both shocked by Yuan Zhu. Such a big man sounded like a soprano!
However, Yuan Zhu screamed and screamed, but this time he didn't think of running away.
He suppressed the fear in his heart, jumped up high, and fell violently. The ground shook with a bang, and the armored lizard was directly knocked away.
Jiang Kai immediately turned around, raised his hand, and the dart shot out, instantly piercing the armored lizard's abdomen.
"Zhuzhu, I didn't attack any vital points, hurry up and finish the kill!" Jiang Kai shouted.
Yuan Zhu drew out a giant sword and stabbed it into the lizard's throat.
[Kill the 27-year-old armored lizard and gain 412 experience points. 】
[Obtain a copy of the armored lizard corpse.]
When Yuan Zhu completed the kill, he himself was in shock, "I went, this thing suddenly came out of the gap, I was scared to death just now!"
Such a big "lizard" suddenly appeared, which is indeed a bit scary.
Of course, only Yuan Zhu could scream like that...
"Kai, didn't you see the lizard just now? If I had been slower, you would have been bitten by it!" Yuan Zhu said with lingering fear.
Jiang Kai smiled slightly, "Of course I saw it, but didn't you say before that you will protect me from now on? Then I will just look at the map, and you can still watch it eat me?"
Yuan Zhu frowned, "I said Kai, I...don't you know I'm timid?"
Nuannuan rushed over and said in surprise, "Zhuzi, you came out of your potential state so quickly? When you were a tiger, it was rare for you to come out of your potential state."
The knock-up effect is only available in the potential state.
Yuan Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't know either. Anyway, I thought he threatened Jiang Kai's safety, so when I got anxious..."
Jiang Kai smiled slightly. Although it was a bit unkind to take advantage of his brotherhood with Zhuzi, on the other hand, he was probably the person who knew best how to make Zhuzi realize his potential.
"Wow, Zhu Zhu, you are so strong!" Hu Yan and Ruan Yu caught up, "It was a group attack just now, plus group control, you are simply invincible!"
Yuan Zhu's confidence immediately began to recover after being praised in this way.
"Hehe, just average, only third in the world."
Jiang Kai rolled his eyes at Zhu Zhu, this guy screamed the loudest just now, and now he started to wander again.
"It's just a lizard. It's so powerful. Let's go. We're about to reach the warrior-level territory. Don't let your guard down then."
Yuan Zhu put away the corpse card and handed it to Jiang Kai, and the team continued to move forward.
About ten minutes later, a stone forest appeared in front of us.
There are many rocks here, and a large number of large and small rocks are scattered here.
Three or four armored lizards could be seen around, swaying their bodies exaggeratedly and walking back and forth.
It stands to reason that Jiang Kai and the others have already approached within 50 meters. These lizards can detect prey hundreds of meters away through Xinzi, so they should have discovered Jiang Kai and the others long ago.
However, they seemed not to be interested in Jiang Kai and the others, and just kept walking back and forth around the stone forest.
After observing for a while, Jiang Kai discovered that there were super large lizards with a body size of over 3.5 meters. They should be elite lizards, and they were almost all hidden under the rocks at the moment.
In the center of the stone forest, there are huge boulders blocking the surroundings, so you can't see what's going on inside.
These lizards must be protecting the general!
Jiang Kai turned back to look at Hu Yan, "Lao Hu prays for rain and mixes up the smell on our bodies. Ruan Yu protects Nuan Nuan and Lao Hu. Zhu Zhu comes in with me!"
Hu Yan said, "After my rain prayer upgrade, the preparation time only takes 3 minutes, and the range, rainfall amount, and intensity have been improved!"
Jiang Kai said in surprise, "That's great, Lao Hu, you can start preparations directly. After it rains, we will start."
Lao Hu immediately started praying for rain.
A moment later, in the cloudless sky, a layer of dark clouds suddenly appeared from nowhere and continued to gather.
Rumble, several thunders exploded in the desert.
Not long after, heavy rain came!
"Pillar, charge!"
Jiang Kai and Yuan Zhu braved the heavy rain and rushed to the stone forest!
The lizards in the stone forest had difficulty identifying the exact location of Jiang Kai and others through Xinzi in the heavy rain, but they could also see with their eyes that two humans were invading!
Jiang Kai and the others had only seen seven or eight lizards before, but when the two started to attack, a large number of lizards came from all directions.
Under the rock, on the back of the rock, in the pit, in the short grass... huge beasts with thick bodies and thick armor crawled quickly and swarmed over!
From a rough look, there are at least thirty armored lizards gathered here, including three or four even larger elite armored lizards.
"Zhu, I have no defense, cover me!" Jiang Kai shouted, deliberately throwing the burden to Yuan Zhu.
It has to be said that Jiang Kai's status in Zhu Zi's mind is very high. It is rare for him to activate his potential once in the Tigers, but for Jiang Kai, using his potential is like drinking water.
"Ah, it's so disgusting! The ground is trampled!" Yuan Zhu resisted these ugly guys, but his body hit the ground like a cannonball.
Suddenly, the lizard dragon within five meters of Yuan Zhu was knocked away!
The moment their bodies left the ground, Jiang Kai took action!
He must hit more lizards as quickly as possible in just a few seconds!
In the past, his speed might not be able to keep up, but now, Jiang Kai is full of confidence!
"Interesting... just in time to practice!"
Cooperating with the concentration of Ghost Eyes, Jiang Kai's shots were like lightning and accurate. In an instant, nine darts shot out!
The distance between the lizards is not dense, so it is not easy to cause large-scale ignition effects. The key is that it is still raining, but Jiang Kai does not need to use quenching to survive.
"Gambler's time!" Jiang Kai shouted.
The description of the gambler's time is that the shooting speed is increased by 100%. The shooting includes shooting darts and recalling darts.
Jiang Kai's nine fingers shook at a high frequency, he quickly recalled the darts and shot them again.
Ruan Yu's modification allows Jiang Kai to not shoot all the darts at once and then recycle them together.
The darts he shoots are in order. After the dart shot first hits the target, it can be recalled individually, so that when the subsequent darts are shot, the previous darts have returned to Jiang Kai's hands.
In this way, within the ten seconds of the gambler's time, Jiang Kai used the nine-gun life-chasing weapon to feel like he was using endless darts!
Hu Yan's eyes widened, and he was shocked to see Jiang Kai's moves like lightning, and exclaimed, "Let me go, how many years has Captain Kai been single with this speed?"
Ruan Yu frowned and said, "He didn't have such a fast hand speed last time... Tsk tsk tsk, such a fast hand speed is like an electric one. The rich woman must like it very much!"
With a puff, Su Nuannuan couldn't help laughing. She glared at Ruan Yu shyly and angrily, "You Vulcan Team are so dirty!"
Ruan Yu apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, Miss Nuannuan, we old men are used to it together, and we forgot that you are here."
Hu Yan quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem, um, the coordination between the skills of the pillars and the armor team is perfect!"
Hu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, under normal circumstances, whoever dares to get close enough to turn a lizard over would be difficult to hit the vital point in an instant even if their belly is occasionally exposed. Only Kai Team's long-range attack has such ability.
"
Nuannuan also nodded and said, "It really matches well. This is what they did when we were in the newcomer trial. This kind of armored lizard is difficult to kill under normal circumstances. When I was in the Tiger Squad, Captain Li and the other three
It takes us ten minutes to kill an ordinary lizard with a second-level profession, and they have to break the lizard's armor before they can kill it."
As he was talking, Yuan Zhu suddenly exclaimed, "I'm going, I, I've upgraded! Kai, I'm level 11!"
Nuannuan suddenly exclaimed, her eyes widened, and she said excitedly, "It's over! In two minutes, they killed all the lizards outside!"
"There are 31 in total, including three elites!"
"The pillar turned out to be level ten and a half, and in two minutes, it was directly level eleven?!"
She suddenly thought of what Jiang Kai had said before, that Captain Li and the others were upgrading...too slowly!
Now it seems that he was not bragging at all, but was very polite.
Compared with the killing speed of Jiang Kai and the others, the Tiger Squad's upgrade speed is simply standing still!
However, Hu Yan and Ruan Yu were not too shocked.
Hu Yan smiled at Nuan Nuan and said inscrutably, "Nuan Nuan, don't make a fuss, this is the speed of the Vulcan Team!"
