Encountering the Overlord Salamander Again

Hiss, hiss, the Fire Ladybugs, having lost their targets, dived down frantically. Water and fire were incompatible, and dead Fire Ladybugs floated to the surface of the water.

The remaining Fire Ladybugs dared not dive down, hovering on the water's surface and flapping their wings, seemingly filled with endless rage with nowhere to vent.

After all, Hu Ming had killed quite a few Fire Ladybugs with his jacket just now.

Hu Bayi couldn't hold his breath any longer. He surfaced and took a breath, and countless Fire Ladybugs dived down. In a moment of crisis, a slender jade hand pulled him down. But it was still a bit slow; he caught fire, but the flames were extinguished when he entered the water.

After the insects had completely left, everyone surfaced and gasped for air.

Hu Bayi said at this moment, "Little Ye just said on the radio that a blizzard is coming soon, so we need to leave quickly."

Professor Chen looked in the direction of the Nine-Story Demon Tower and nodded. Everyone then swam towards the opposite bank.

However, except for Hu Bayi and Hu Ming, no one else felt the danger approaching.

Hu Ming said to Hu Bayi, "We need to swim to the other side quickly. I have a feeling something is coming towards us."

Hu Bayi nodded with a grim expression, then urged everyone on. This made everyone resent the two cousins. Just because of their feelings, they were forced to speed up. They had just run such a long distance and held their breath underwater; they really didn't have much strength left to swim.

Although the big soldier and the two soldiers, along with Fatty, felt a bit resentful, they understood and said nothing. Professor Hao and his two students, however, couldn't help but grumble.

But neither Hu Ming nor Hu Bayi paid them any mind, instead swimming towards the other side with all their might.

Not far from them, a figure was approaching.

After everyone reached the shore, they collapsed on it. Hu Ming immediately said, "Let's go quickly, I feel something is coming."

At this moment, Sa Dipeng said unhappily, "You feel it? What basis do you have for feeling it? We were just tortured half to death, and now we have to run again without resting!"

"Yeah! Just your feelings?"

Then several people vented their dissatisfaction. Hu Ming clenched his fists. At this moment, Hu Bayi patted his shoulder and shook his head at him.

Hu Bayi and the two big soldiers were also very anxious. This group of people had never stayed in this snowy mountain before. They didn't know how risky it would be when the blizzard arrived.

After everyone rested for a few minutes, the big soldier, with a grim expression, pulled them up one by one.

Seeing that everyone was standing, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi didn't waste any more words and led the way back.

Just then, Sa Dipeng, who was at the very back, was suddenly wrapped around the waist by a sticky, large tongue and was being dragged towards the river.

"Ah, help! Brother Hu! Big guy..." Sa Dipeng screamed.

Fatty immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

At this moment, Hu Bayi and Hu Ming, who were walking ahead, ran back.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi said, "Everyone, shoot that thing! Shoot the tentacles!"

Upon hearing this, everyone ignored whether the Fire Ladybugs were coming back and opened fire. Hu Ming directly took out four Molotov cocktails for Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi was stunned when he took them but then directly stuffed them into his bag.

The large tongue finally felt pain and released Sa Dipeng. Everyone also heard a childlike cry.

In a flash, a huge figure emerged from the water.

"Professor, look, what is that!"

At this moment, Professor Hao's students were terrified when they saw the Overlord Salamander.

After all, they had never seen such a ferocious creature.

"It's an Overlord Salamander!"

At this moment, Professor Chen felt disbelief when he saw the Overlord Salamander, an ancient species believed to be long extinct.

In ancient times, Overlord Salamanders lived in damp, dark areas. Their habits were very similar to those of modern crocodiles, possessing the ability to tear prey apart instantly.

An adult Overlord Salamander could grow up to twelve meters long. It was a very formidable carnivorous animal with a ferocious temperament. If dinosaurs had appeared earlier and encountered Overlord Salamanders, they would have met a very powerful opponent.

The Overlord Salamander had a head nearly two meters long. Except for its abdomen, its entire body was covered in thick scales.

At the same time, its forehead had a hard shell, making it difficult for bullets to penetrate and injure it.

Its extended tongue was almost as long as its body and could sweep up any prey.

However, according to Hu Ming's understanding, legend had it that the Overlord Salamander was the only ancient beast that could withstand the Immeasurable Karmic Fire. He didn't know if it was true or not...

"What are you still looking at? Run! Mingzi, run!" Hu Bayi shouted when he saw Hu Ming still staring at the monster.

Hu Ming, however, was very calm and said to everyone, "This monster runs faster than us, and its tongue is very long. If we don't drive it back, none of us will be able to escape."

Hu Bayi heard this and asked, "Then what do we do?"

"It's alright, I have Molotov cocktails here. Big guy, you guys come here and each take two bottles. If that monster opens its mouth, throw the Molotov cocktails into its mouth. I'll use a grenade to ignite the gasoline."

After taking the Molotov cocktails from Hu Ming, they dodged the monster's tongue while retreating. When they had almost thrown all the Molotov cocktails in their hands, Hu Ming seized an opportunity and threw a grenade into its mouth.

Instantly, its mouth erupted in flames. It wailed continuously and retreated into the river, rolling around. Unfortunately, gasoline burns even in water.

Seeing this, Hu Ming immediately said, "Let's leave quickly while we have the chance. The Overlord Salamander and the Fire Ladybugs are natural enemies. With the Overlord Salamander causing trouble here, the Fire Ladybugs won't follow us for a while."

"Ah, we still have to run!"

"Shut up! If any of you don't want to run, stay here by yourselves. We brothers won't accompany you," Hu Ming said angrily when he heard someone complain again.

At this moment, Hu Bayi said calmly, "Let's go! After we go back, we brothers will return the money to Miss Yang. We can't do this job."

Fatty, upon hearing this, was about to demand a refund and speak up, but he was glared at by Hu Ming and dared not say another word.

"Comrade Xiao Hu..."

Just as Professor Chen was about to say something, Hu Bayi walked ahead, ignoring them.

Professor Chen and Yang Xueli exchanged a look. It seemed they could only discuss later how to keep these people.

At this moment, there were no other sounds in the team. Everyone quickened their pace to leave. When they reached the top, Ye Yixin and his companion had already packed up their things. The sky had changed, and Hu Bayi immediately led the way back, not caring about the others. Professor Chen, on the other hand, was carried on Hu Ming's back.

He didn't want the two big guys to have any accidents because of Professor Chen, and his stamina was several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
