Wiped Out

The remaining nine lizard Lizard Dragon.

The number quickly dwindled to just the last two.

As a price, none of the dozen or so Eyeless People who pursued them survived; they all fell on the path of assisting in the attack.

Let alone Linsey.

Even the usually impulsive and belligerent Red was inevitably shocked.

But they had no time to grieve for these Eyeless People.

Because right before their eyes, the last two remaining Lizard Dragon were staring at the two with their dangerous, serpentine eyes.

The reason the last two Lizard Dragon survived was not because Eyeless People were dead and no one was going to break through their defenses.

Rather, it is their inherent strength that lies in the Fifth Stage.

The airflow summoned in this way is so strong that it makes it impossible for others to create an opportunity to attack.

"..."

Two humans, two Lizard Dragon.

The two sides stared at each other in the dim cave, with the faint light from the nearby Crystal Valley providing them with the only illumination on the battlefield.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

Battle is imminent.

After gaining a general understanding of Linsey and Red's strengths, and confirming that there were no other unexpected enemies, the two Fifth Stage Lizard Dragon began to change their fighting attitude.

They switched from a defensive stance to an offensive one.

The turbulent airflow expanded instantly, and the interplay of hot and cold air created a spiral that rushed towards Linsey and his companions.

"Snort--"

Faced with the attack, Hong let out a cold snort.

Instead of retreating, the girl advanced, charging directly at the attack. Her figure flashed through lightning-fast angles, perfectly avoiding the spiraling airflow.

In the blink of an eye, Red appeared in front of the two Lizard Dragon.

He immediately raised the Wood Poison Javelin in his hand, and the Essence power of Slaughter life wrapped around it, turning into an ominous gray-black mist.

"Die!"

The Wood Poison Javelin was instantly thrown from my hand.

The two Lizard Dragon shifted their control of the airflow from defense to offense, naturally reducing the interference around them.

The javelin's trajectory was perfectly accurate this time.

After breaking through two defensive air currents in an instant, the sharp spear pierced the Lizard Dragon's body.

"Roar!"

The Lizard Dragon, struck by a single shot, let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The spear only caused a simple penetrating wound, but the Slaughter Power it contained immediately penetrated the body, completely severing life in the entire torso.

It just died like that? The other Lizard Dragon was completely unprepared for this turn of events.

Even among the Fifth Stage Devil Beast, they are among the strongest, only slightly inferior to elite individuals like the Black Scale Lizard Dragon.

How could it have foreseen the situation when facing two enemies that were by no means at Sixth Stage?

The instant the defensive airflow is transformed into an attack is also equivalent to death! Boom! Almost simultaneously.

With a thunderous roar from the Iron Horn Great Bow, Linsey's arrow arrived suddenly.

The Lizard Dragon was about to switch back to a defensive stance, but the arrow was too fast for it to react!

To avoid giving the enemy any chance, Linsey specifically switched to the extremely fast Black Feather Arrow.

The barbed arrow pierced his body instantly.

Although it wasn't as potent as the Red Essence, which directly erodes life, the power of the intertwined ice and fire still rendered the Lizard Dragon instantly incapacitated.

"Hiss--"

The Lizard Dragon lying on the ground wanted to do something last with the Essence.

However, before it could succeed, Linsey fired another arrow, which pierced directly into its brain.

To completely kill the last enemy in this battle.

"Well..."

Linsey sighed.

He felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever from this 'loss-free' battle.

Looking at the corpses left by the Eyeless People around him, he silently walked to the Lizard Dragon's corpse and began to collect materials from the battle.

Hong also unusually didn't say much.

She put away the Wood Poison Javelin and quietly stood guard beside Linsey, her gaze lingering on the many corpses on the ground, as if she were pondering something.

[Lizard Dragon Scale], [Compressed Air Sac]...

Rumble—

Just as Linsey was collecting materials, the ground began to tremble again.

The battle between the Lizard Dragon Leader and the Eyeless People elder continued, and the violent tremors seemed to become a permanent backdrop underground.

But this time, things are a little different.

The tremors in the surrounding soil didn't stop immediately; instead, they intensified rapidly! "Hmm?"

"Linsey!"

"The attack is aimed at us!"

Linsey and Red exchanged a glance and immediately realized their current situation.

They successfully killed the Lizard Dragon, but at the cost of the Lizard Dragon Leader becoming aware of the situation during the battle.

Thus began the battle with the Eyeless People elder.

It also released a stream of scorching air that rushed towards the two along the complex underground passage. In just two or three breaths, it would instantly engulf Linsey and Red in death.

Linsey had a lot of thoughts running through her mind in an instant.

"Using the burrow to escape is an option, but it only allows you to run away yourself; Hong, who stays here, is certain to die." "The distant tunnels are too far; there's not enough time to go in and then seal them up." "Digging a hole to hide in now is equally time-sensitive."

At the critical moment.

Linsey's gaze naturally fell on the only place in the cave that was glowing.

While digging underground, his understanding of Crystal Valley was only superficial.

But now, clusters surround it.

Deeper into the cave, the number of crystals increased significantly, and a certain aura from the Essence even lingered in the air.

Linsey recalled her conversation with the Eyeless People elder.

These crystals are the origin of the name Crystal Valley, which is also a forbidden area for Devil Beast. Even beings at the Sixth Stage dare not forcibly enter!

"Red, let's go!"

The decision was made in an instant.

Linsey yelled, threw away the corpse in his hand, grabbed Red, and rushed towards Crystal Valley.

boom--

At the same time, a surge of scorching hot air appeared at the cave entrance beside them.

This attack was specifically designed for Linsey and Red; the airflow did not decrease in temperature as it traveled further. Instead, the temperature rose again the instant it reached the Crystal Valley cave.

At the edges of the cave walls, the soil even showed signs of melting! Such an attack would kill instantly! At the same time, Linsey and Red had already rushed into the crystal-encircled area, not daring to waste a moment looking back.

Bang! In the blink of an eye, a loud bang came from the location of the airflow, and the previous violent roar disappeared.

Linsey and Red, who were ahead, seemed to sense something.

They stopped and turned around, only to discover an astonishing scene.

The scorching airflow was about to pass through the crystal and rush into the cave to continue its pursuit of the two, but a golden light flashed in the surrounding crystal.

The sharp flash of light instantly illuminated the entire cave, and the surrounding crystals reflected the brilliance of that moment.

Immediately, the Lizard Dragon Leader's attack struck the light.

The airflow lost its power instantly, bursting into a chaotic mass that gradually dissipated into the air.

The attack, which had been so fierce just moments before, had now failed to even stir up a speck of dust.

Linsey was looking forward to this scene.

But when the Sixth Stage Lizard Dragon Leader's attack dissipated in such a way, he still felt that the scene before him was somewhat surreal. "This... that's it?"
