Chapter 22: Underground Laboratory III

~8 min read 1,563 words

Boom!!!

The wall was smashed open, and a giant lizard with human hands flicked its tongue as it looked at the six tiny people.

The monster wailing to the side had an increasingly weak aura, but to the giant lizard, it was far too noisy; ignoring the flames still burning on its body, it swallowed the monster in one gulp.

"Hah!"

While the giant lizard was still chewing, Zhu Zhiquan held his Dagger Spear and slashed a gash into the giant lizard's left forelimb. The giant lizard felt that not only was a bug disturbing it, but it actually dared to hurt it—this was simply unforgivable!

The giant lizard raised its hand, wanting to swat Zhu Zhiquan to death, but unfortunately, after his successful strike, Zhu Zhiquan quickly retreated to the rear, and he was also stabbed by Luo Jincheng and Sun Zi on the left hind limb and right forelimb respectively.

The giant lizard charged forward a distance, and because their weapons were still stuck in the giant lizard's body, Luo Jincheng and Sun Zi were tripped by the force of the giant lizard charging forward.

Swish, swish, swish~

Ling Xi and Luo Jinrui fired Crossbow Bolts at the giant lizard, and Zhao Yuxin threw a Molotov Cocktail, wanting to use fire against the giant lizard, but unfortunately, the Molotov Cocktail was shattered by the giant lizard's tongue in mid-air.

The fuel in the bottle adhered to the giant lizard's tongue and continued to burn, but the giant lizard simply bit off its tongue; the next second, a new tongue extended and lashed out forcefully against the ground.

Zhao Yuxin was entangled by the giant lizard's tongue. At this moment, the giant lizard retracted its tongue to send Zhao Yuxin into its mouth, but fortunately, Zhu Zhiquan activated Boiling Blood and cut off the giant lizard's tongue in time.

As Zhao Yuxin rolled on the ground, Zhu Zhiquan stepped on her shoulder, leaped onto the giant lizard's head, and stabbed down fiercely; after stabbing, he quickly let go and rolled to the ground.

The moment he landed, he pulled out the Dagger Spear stuck in the giant lizard's right forelimb, then quickly retreated.

The movements were done in one go, leaving the giant lizard, which had no sense of pain, always one step behind him. After Zhu Zhiquan put some distance between them, the giant lizard was hit by two more Crossbow Bolts.

Whether the continuous attacks caused damage to the giant lizard was unknown, but Zhao Yuxin's shoulder was almost crushed by Zhu Zhiquan. But for now... she had to make new weapons for the little idiot who lost his, and then she would settle the score with him later!

"Roar!!!"

The giant lizard roared and charged toward Zhu Zhiquan. Zhu Zhiquan turned and leaped, stabbing the Dagger Spear into the giant lizard's right forelimb, and used the Dagger Spear as a springboard to jump to the giant lizard's right side. At the same time, as he jumped, he ignited a Molotov Cocktail and smashed it at the giant lizard with all his might.

Plop~

The scorching flames burned the joint between the giant lizard's right forelimb and its body. The giant lizard turned its head to look in Zhu Zhiquan's direction, but it was hit by two more Molotov Cocktails.

Seeing that these bugs were so troublesome, the giant lizard opened its mouth and spat out an egg. As soon as this egg hit the ground, it hatched into many small lizards exactly like the giant lizard.

These small lizards were very fast; in the blink of an eye, they reached the six people, preparing to split them up and surround them.

The six people used the surrounding environment to maneuver around the small lizards, while the big lizard seized the opportunity to swing its tail forcefully, swatting Zhu Zhiquan against the wall.

"Ajiu!" Seeing Zhu Zhiquan get knocked flying, Zhao Yuxin wanted to rush to his side regardless of anything, but she was held back by Sun Zi.

Sun Zi: "Why are you rushing over? Do you think this thing will let you rush over?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Why aren't you using your talent? Hurry up and turn into a Gatling to provide support!"

Sun Zi: "I can't, I used it too hard before and can't use it now!"

Zhao Yuxin: "Then how much longer do you need?"

Sun Zi: "Fifteen minutes."

"Can you guys stop chatting for a second? Deal with these little things first!" Luo Jincheng held his Dagger Spear and killed the small lizards coming toward him.

Hearing this, the two also followed suit and assisted Luo Jincheng in resisting the small lizards' attacks, while Sun Zi secretly glanced in Ling Xi's direction.

At this time, Ling Xi and Luo Jinrui were using the terrain to kill the surrounding small lizards. Seeing that his wife was fine, Sun Zi finally felt relieved and killed the small lizards around him.

The moment he was knocked flying, Zhu Zhiquan exited the Boiling Blood state. Just as he climbed up, those small lizards had already sprinted to his front.

Zhu Zhiquan quickly rolled over an experimental table, but even so, his calf was still bitten by a lizard. Before he could shake off the small lizard, the giant lizard's hand had already come down.

Zhu Zhiquan could only perform continuous backflips to create distance, then casually picked up a chair nearby and smashed it fiercely against the small lizard's head; it didn't take many hits before the small lizard breathed its last.

Zhu Zhiquan tore off the small lizard's corpse and threw it at the small lizards attacking him, then jumped onto the giant lizard's left forelimb and smashed it fiercely with the chair!

Snap!

The chair couldn't withstand the violent impact and shattered on the spot. Zhu Zhiquan didn't linger in the fight; using the force of striking the giant lizard's forelimb, he reached the giant lizard's left hind limb at full speed, pulled out the Dagger Spear, and wanted to put distance between himself and the giant lizard again.

But without the bonus of the Boiling Blood talent, his speed was still a bit slow. The giant lizard swept its hind limb and knocked him flying again. After crashing through two tables and chairs in succession, Zhu Zhiquan finally stopped.

"This won't work! Prophet, did you predict how we win?" Zhao Yuxin asked while clearing out the small lizards.

Luo Jincheng: "First of all, this is Divination, not prophecy; I cannot accurately divine a single event. Secondly, I don't know how we end up winning."

After Sun Zi solved the last small lizard, he said: "This thing's health bar is too thick. Diviner, can you divine what's in that Material Box?"

Luo Jincheng: "I can't perform Divination while fighting. Why don't you go open it?"

Sun Zi looked at Ling Xi and entrusted her: "Alright, you guys help me watch over my wife. If my wife loses even a single hair, I won't spare you!"

Zhao Yuxin: "Go quickly."

Sun Zi quickly went to the Material Box and opened it, finding a blueprint, four bottles of beer, and four compressed biscuits inside.

Name: Homemade Bomb Blueprint

Quality: White

Introduction: A crystallization of the people's wisdom; although its power is somewhat weak, it is still a great lethal weapon.

Materials: 8 units of metal, 5 units of charcoal.

Sun Zi learned it immediately, then ran back to the battlefield and shouted to Ling Xi: "Wife, go back to the car and get materials!"

Ling Xi glanced at the crafting interface and grinned. The next second, Ling Xi left behind a Crescent Mark, then opened a Space Channel to go back to the car and get some materials; when she returned, she had several Homemade Bombs in her hands.

Seeing this, the others immediately cleared a path for her. Ling Xi ignited a Homemade Bomb, ran a distance, and threw it with all her might; the Homemade Bomb landed and was stepped on by the giant lizard.

Boom!!!

A loud noise came, and the giant lizard's massive palm was blown into a bloody mist, also causing the giant lizard to lose its balance and fall to the ground.

Without the pressure of the giant lizard, Zhu Zhiquan activated the Boiling Blood talent again, cleared out the surrounding small lizards in a few strokes, then put distance between himself and the giant lizard, choosing to deactivate Boiling Blood once he was safe.

The giant lizard tried to crawl up, but Ling Xi threw a few more bombs to blow up its other arm. Unable to stand, the giant lizard was completely reduced to a lamb for the slaughter, and the group spent some time killing the giant lizard completely.

Sun Zi took Zhu Zhiquan's Skinning Knife and dismantled the giant lizard, obtaining a piece of Giant Lizard Skin, seventy jin of rotten meat, and one giant arm.

"What kind of trash is this!" Sun Zi threw the Skinning Knife back to Zhu Zhiquan, "Here, you guys choose from these things."

Luo Jinrui: "Where are the other things from the Material Box? I'd rather take the things from the Material Box."

Zhao Yuxin: "Besides this skin, can we pick one more item from the Material Box?"

Ling Xi nodded lightly, and Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan along to go pick out supplies.
