"Where is the giant lizard?" Chi Zhonglin asked.
Everyone looked toward Ji Xinghuo, even Yuan Chongzhen didn’t know the giant lizard’s specific location. He only confird from Qing Hong that the giant lizard was below.
"There."
Ji Xinghuo pointed to a small, shallow pool that the river ran through, where a group of crocodiles was active.
This group of crocodiles had about a dozen mbers, so of which had undergone mutative evolution, nearing that of monsters, while others were just normal-sized Nile crocodiles. Subrged in water, they only exposed their eyes on the surface, but only the left eyes were functional; the right eyes were blind, though this was hard to make out from a distance.
"The crocodile near the eastern edge of the water, that’s the giant lizard," Ji Xinghuo said quietly.
"Ah?"
His teammates were all taken by surprise.
This crocodile seed very ordinary, about six ters long, and it didn’t stand out among the group, lying motionless in the water.
If Ji Xinghuo hadn’t pointed it out, they wouldn’t have realized this was the giant lizard.
"In addition to transforming into a secretary bird, can it also turn into a crocodile?" Zhuo Lige frowned, "I thought its ’Beast Transformation’ ability..."
"It’s not Beast Transformation," Yuan Chongzhen said, "It should be Mimicry."
Beast Transformation and Mimicry are not the sa.
Both are Superior Abilities. Beast Transformation in Alien Species primarily originates from "Blood Fusion Beasts." After fusion, it needs to combine with other monsters with Transformation Elents to complete the transformation and posses the monster’s abilities; anwhile, Mimicry only requires contact with genetic information for imdiate transformation, but it can only mimic the appearance and voice of the target without acquiring the target’s abilities.
The difference between the two types of transformation is significant.
As a Half-orc, an expert in transformation, Yuan Chongzhen was the clearest on this.
Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly and observed the giant lizard carefully.
Even though it was over a thousand ters away, through his eyes, it was as if it were right in front of him, clearly seeing the giant lizard turned crocodile manipulating the undercurrent to wash its body.
"Vitality Torrent."
"It’s using Vitality Torrent to recover from its injuries; we have to act fast," Ji Xinghuo said.
Ji Xinghuo asked everyone to retreat from the cliff edge and said solemnly, "We can’t let it escape again. While it’s severely injured, we must strike with all our might and take it out with a thunderous blow."
Everyone nodded.
"Xinghuo, you make the arrangents," Jing Ji said.
"I’ll take the lead this ti," Ji Xinghuo said assuredly, having been considering tactics on the way: "Jing Ji, cover . Zhonglin and Zhuo Lige, advance stealthily, get as close to it as possible, and attack from the front; Chongzhen, you transform into the Shadow Leopard, and sneak attack it from behind."
Then, looking at Lu Yunhai, "Yunhai, you move to the cliff on the eastern side, which falls within the shooting range of the Electromagnetic Rifle; if it turns into the secretary bird and takes off, you must shoot it down."
"Take this with you, stay concealed."
Ji Xinghuo took off the Stealth Ring from his hand and handed it to Lu Yunhai.
Accompanied by Jing Ji with the Silent Illusion, Lu Yunhai on the cliffs was actually more likely to be exposed.
Lu Yunhai put on the Stealth Ring, his eyes brightened, and he quickly learned how to use this Superpower Ring.
The entire team understood their tasks.
Zhuo Lige had mostly recovered and once again bolstered everyone with "Blood Sacrifice" and "Determined Will," including Ji Xinghuo. Despite the headaches, everyone once again used the Neuroenhancer to speed up their thinking.
Eliminate scent, use potions, boost status.
A mont later.
Lu Yunhai, along with his War Pet, sneaked to the eastern side of the Canyon, lying on the cliff.
Ji Xinghuo and three others approached the canyon from a distance. Under the cover of Silent Illusion, they cautiously avoided wild animals and slowly neared the pool where the giant lizard was. Yuan Chongzhen also circled to the other side, transforming into the Shadow Leopard and advancing through the shadows from downstream.
A thousand ters, eight hundred ters, six hundred ters...
When they were about five hundred ters away, Ji Xinghuo took the Invisible Stab from his back, holding it in his hand, and notched a Capacitor Arrow.
At four hundred ters, the giant lizard remained unaware; as a crocodile, it lay in the water, its right eye slightly closed.
Three hundred ters.
Ji Xinghuo drew the bowstring, electricity gathered on his arm flowed to the arrowhead, light flared, but Silent Illusion concealed the glow, preventing any exposure.
Once within two hundred ters, the crocodile suddenly opened its single eye.
But it was too late!
Ji Xinghuo released the Capacitor Arrow half a second early, with a sharp explosive sound, the Invisible Arrow instantly pierced the Electrostatic Field and buried into the only remaining good left eye of the crocodile.
"Roar..."
The crocodile revealed its true giant lizard form, screaming loudly and rolling in the pool.
The electrostatic field surrounding its body enveloped most of the pool, with countless lightning flashes leaping about and stunning over a dozen crocodiles nearby; the weaker ones turned into charred carcasses, instantly perishing on the spot.
After firing the arrow, Ji Xinghuo imdiately threw away the Invisible Stab, pulled out his sword, and rushed full speed towards the giant lizard. Within a hundred ters, he used Flash Step four tis in a row to reach a point ten ters or so from the giant lizard, right on the edge of the electrostatic field, opened his mouth to roar angrily, and let out a Dragon Roar.
"Ha!"
The wind howled furiously.
A deafening roar aid directly at the already blinded giant lizard.
The struggling creature trembled throughout its body, the double assault of excruciating pain and ntal shock caused it to temporarily lose consciousness, collapsing into the pool as the electrostatic field surrounding it dissipated.
Ji Xinghuo Flash Stepped onto the back of the giant lizard, and with his right hand, Lei Chi swung down forcefully; all three arcs were triggered, the sword blade was incomparably sharp, and under his imnse strength, it instantly penetrated the lizard’s neck, burying the entire blade within, and with one downward slice, blood gushed out.
Jing Ji swiftly followed, Shadow Jumping over to hack at the giant lizard’s tail with his scimitar.
He hacked three or four tis in quick succession, nearly severing the giant lizard’s tail completely.
Yuan Chongzhen transford into the Black Iron Giant Ape, leaped high into the air, and landed on the giant lizard’s head, pinning it to the ground while yelling, "Stab its head!"
"Here I co!"
The over two-ter-tall Chi Zhonglin, grasping the Sky Fury Green Blood Spear, rushed forward, plunging the spear tip into the giant lizard’s mouth.
The giant lizard struggled frantically, and the electrostatic field erupted once more.
Ji Xinghuo and Jing Ji used Flash Step to dodge the lightning.
However, Yuan Chongzhen and Chi Zhonglin didn’t let go. The Black Iron Giant Ape, still getting struck by lightning, wrapped its robust arms around the giant lizard’s neck like iron pincers, suffocating it. Chi Zhonglin’s long spear almost pierced from its throat to its belly, furiously stirring to inflict greater damage.
Zhuolige Tub erupted in white light, the "Sacrificial Aura" healing both n. He discarded his shield and raised a giant nail head hamr weighing hundreds of kilograms, striking the giant lizard’s head with force.
Bang, bang, bang...
The giant lizard was dazed, its scales and flesh scattered in all directions.
The terrible pain and beating reduced it to re animal instincts, forgetting it could transform into water, its electrostatic field interrupted as well.
Standing a few ters away, Ji Xinghuo dropped Lei Chi at his feet, both hands gripping Demon Sound, all the Star Power within his body mobilized, currents dancing over the Dragon Scales, eyes filled with Concentration, Demon Sound’s blade trembling violently, its tip pulsing with fine sonic waves.
"Clear out!"
Following Ji Xinghuo’s shout, his teammates entangled with the giant lizard imdiately retreated.
The giant lizard suddenly lost the pressure, but with its eyes blinded, it felt utterly bewildered.
Ji Xinghuo’s figure flashed.
Instant Step!
He moved forward at a speed too fast for the eye to see, as if rging with the sword in his hand, unleashing the full force of his physical strength. Demon Sound’s blade spewed out a massive burst of Ultrasonic Sword Energy, precisely striking the wound on the giant lizard’s neck made by Lei Chi.
Countless Sword Qi erupted, like a towering wave.
With a boom.
The white Sword Qi was perpendicular to the ground, leaving behind a deep, straight canyon, over ten ters long.
The giant lizard’s head and body lay on either side of the canyon, the cut surfaces finely shredded as if slashed a thousand tis, no longer showing any sign of life.
Standing in front of the giant lizard’s corpse, Ji Xinghuo let out a long breath.
This Ultrasonic Sword Energy had depleted half of his Star Power, but fortunately, the result was gratifying. He had finally slain this terrifying Flood Level monster!
"We did it!"
Chi Zhonglin cheered ecstatically, then realized that his entire body was aching.
Yuan Chongzhen also reverted to human form, grimacing with pain.
Both had sustained the most damage in the battle, struck countless tis by the lightning from the electrostatic field, their bodies charred and skin split open.
"Hahaha..."
But they both laughed with joy.
Zhuolige Tub happily ca over to heal the two, though he himself had injuries, albeit lighter ones.
Lu Yunhai ran down from the cliffs above, his face filled with extre excitent, exclaiming, "We did it! Holy shit, I never imagined my first hunt would result in killing a Flood Level monster..." His excitent was beyond words, still in disbelief at the mont.
Jing Ji couldn’t help but shake his head; after all, it was typical for a newbie, but understandable.
"Ti to collect the Alien Species."
Ji Xinghuo wasn’t particularly excited, placing a hand on the giant lizard’s corpse, and a pop-up displaying its information appeared in his vision.
After just one glance, his face showed imnse surprise.
