Shadow Scale Lizard

Xiao Fan looked at the incomplete Treasure Map. The route at the beginning was still very clear, but it became increasingly blurry as he went further in.

It seems that you need to kill the strange beasts to obtain Treasure Map Fragment in order to cleanse it.

Xiao Fan remained highly vigilant throughout his journey, his eyes scanning his surroundings intently, not daring to miss the slightest unusual movement.

After all, the Treasure Map didn't mark the location of the strange beasts, but he could clearly sense that the further he went, the stronger and more violent the aura of the strange beasts became, surpassing the pack of Claw Hyena he had hunted before.

23:26:38

After walking for about ten minutes, a soft Shasha sound suddenly came from the bushes on the left.

The sound was light yet urgent, carrying a clear sense of probing; it was definitely not the slightest disturbance.

Xiao Fan suddenly stopped, his body tensed instantly, and he turned sideways to stare intently.

The next second, the dense black bushes suddenly exploded and flew everywhere!

"Damn it." Xiao Fan took two steps back.

The next second, three figures, all black and slender, suddenly darted out, moving with ghostly speed, their limbs creating a sharp whooshing sound as they pushed off the ground.

The beast was about two meters long, its entire body covered with fine, dark scales that gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen in the dim forest. Its limbs were long and agile, its Claw sharp as knives, and thick, dark green venom dripped from the corner of its mouth. Its vertical pupils were pitch black and cold, fixed on Xiao Fan with extreme ferocity and Bloodthirst.

Information about the strange beast immediately appeared in front of Xiao Fan.

[Mysterious Beast of the Realm: Shadow Scale Lizard]

[Description: A terrifying beast from the secret realm, skilled Stealth Shadow, extremely fast, with Claw and Tusk infused with potent venom, possessing exceptional ambush capabilities.]

[Kill Rewards: Obtain a large amount of Secret Realm Points, with a chance to drop Incomplete Treasure Map Fragment]

The kill reward is exactly the same as the previous Claw Hyena.

Looking at the monster panel that appeared before him, Xiao Fan became even more vigilant.

According to the description, the Shadow Scale Lizard is clearly more powerful than the Claw Hyena.

What's most troublesome is its extreme speed and venomous nature, as well as its ability to ambush, making it seem even more difficult to deal with than a hyena.

Just then, the Shadow Scale Lizard attacked.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment, but decided not to use his skills. He took his sword and went to meet the three strange beasts, intending to first assess their strength.

During the battle, Xiao Fan discovered that the three Shadow Scale Lizard could actually cooperate and were quite in sync.

They swiftly surrounded him in a triangular formation, instantly blocking his escape routes to the left, right, and back.

The leading lizard launched the first attack, its agile body leaping into the air, its sharp Claw carrying a biting wind and a faint poisonous mist, fiercely grabbing at Xiao Fan's throat. The attack was ruthless and vicious, leaving no room for retreat.

Xiao Fan remained calm and composed. Having experienced the previous battles with the strange beasts, his combat awareness was now vastly different from before.

Faced with the rapidly approaching attack, he abruptly changed his footwork, his body turning sideways and retreating swiftly, precisely avoiding the fatal blow from the Claw. At the same time, he gripped his weapon tightly in his right hand, his wrist flicking, and a cold light shot out, accurately slashing towards the scaled lizard's airborne body.

Clang!

A crisp metallic clang suddenly rang out, and sparks flashed and disappeared in the dim forest.

The blow struck the scaled lizard's scales hard, but only left a shallow white mark, failing to completely break through its defenses.

"This defense..."

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow slightly. This was much stronger than the previous Claw Hyena.

With its scales providing excellent defense and incredible speed, the Shadow Scale Lizard is a formidable force in both offense and defense. When fighting in packs, it poses a significant threat, making it a completely different level of adversary compared to the Claw Hyena.
