Chapter 224 Evil Parasites (33)

The blue lizard is a medium-to-large lizard similar to a crocodile, but its body is wrapped in pieces of solid bone armor. The main body of this bone armor is composed of calcium-silicon composite, which is extremely hard, like metal bluestone. Then it turned into pure green.

This kind of lizard has a mild temper and mainly lives on herbivores. It can obtain chlorophyll for photosynthesis by eating plants, so it can maintain a dormant life for a long time when there is no food.

The ecological niche of the blue-armored lizard is not high, and there are very few monster-level individuals, but after all, they are medium-to-large creatures with an average weight of more than [-] kilograms, and they can still erupt extremely powerful when they are angry—they carry If the tail of the sturdy tail hammer is swung, it is enough to smash the knight's armor.

Generally speaking, the green lizard inhabits the shallow river forest area along the coast of the redwood forest, and will not go too deep into the sea... But occasionally these giant beasts will go to the sea to change their taste, eat some seaweed and kelp, and get some fish protein to replenish themselves. Make up your body.

There is a high probability that the few lizards in front of me are a group of blue-armored lizards who were caught up in the wild when they were raising their bodies.

Just like myself.

Ian held his breath. The lizard's perception is actually quite keen, especially the sense of smell, which can be distinguished from a long distance, and then choose whether to avoid it or stay in place.

But Ian didn't have any taste at all, not to mention that as a practitioner of Shakai Apprentice, he could easily cover up all his external aura.

If he used the power of the Wavesinger, he could actually let himself emit a fresh smell like the 'sea'.

Of course, the Ring of Silence can also be used.But that's unnecessary. Ian felt that because he was overloading the ring before, he used it to cover the armor and attack the big shaman, so now the structure of the inscription has been damaged, and he should use it as little as possible, so as not to Unusable at critical moments.

After realizing that there were no other creatures around, the leader of the group of green-armored lizards, the large lizard with the role of "Patriarch", took the lead with a "Wow!" and brought two female lizards a little smaller and three small lizards. forward.

At this time, their pace seemed a little hasty and impatient.

The long time trekking in the cave and soaking in the sea made them extremely thirsty... Yes, the green armored lizard can indeed absorb fresh water from seawater by penetrating its skin, but the efficiency of replenishing it like that is too low, so it can only be used as an emergency.

Soon, their thinking was simpler than Ian's, and they discovered the blue river flowing behind the stone tablet faster than the boy.

It is said to be a small river, but if you look carefully, you can’t see the depth clearly. The river water is opaque due to minerals or other reasons. Even with the lighting of the dome’s electric cloud, you can only see a blue-black color. .

Anyway, it seems that this is indeed fresh water, and the group of green armored lizards approached the river warily, and then drank water one by one.

Watching the blue-armored lizard drinking the river water, even the throat sac below the throat was full, Ian felt a little relieved inexplicably, and thought a little bit in his heart: "The underground ruins have light and water sources, and it seems that the air circulation is quite good ...In other words, are there other biological ecology in the ruins?"

Thinking of this, he looked forward to it even more.

The young man didn't intend to disturb the group of green-armored lizards to drink water. He even made up his mind to see where the group of green-armored lizards were planning to go, and then secretly left a little source quality to track and help him explore this group of ruins.

According to his analysis, because of the two major storms, there is actually a gap between the ruins and the outside world—the crystallized dragon may have come out of that gap, and it may not be something foreign, but it was originally located in the ruins of the South China Sea. The overlord of the group.

It's just that Ian's plan may be a bit unsatisfactory.

Because just after the lizards finished drinking, they stayed in place and stopped moving.

At first, Ian wondered if this group of lizards were too exhausted, so after drinking the water and finding no other creatures around, they put up, rested, lay flat or something... But thinking about it carefully, wild animals should Not so heartless?

The blue-armed lizard is not an apex predator. It is resting around the drinking water, so it really thinks that it has never been hunted, right?

But after waiting for a while, he realized something was wrong.

Except for the sound of the waterfall-like sea tide flowing out of the cave, the lizard group beside the blue river is almost dead silent.

Something's wrong - the blue-armored lizard is not dumb, why doesn't it make any sound after drinking water?

Could it be that...the water is poisonous?
Squinting his eyes, Ian's eyes lit up again with a water-colored spiritual halo and a silver chip light.

Then, he sighed, no longer hiding his figure, but stood up, facing the group of green-armored lizards who fell into a strange silence.

Ka, Ka, Ka... Sensing the appearance of other creatures, the silent Cyan Lizard slowly turned its head and looked behind it.

"Ha... sip..."

A strange howl sounded and echoed in the cavity. The sound was hoarse and short-toned. It was not the sound that a normal blue-armored lizard could make at all. Instead, it was like the short sound of a cloth bag full of air leaks when it was rapidly agitated in the wind. The sound of churning and hissing was exhausted, and it was creepy, like a ghost.

But it didn't sound like a dead thing - because even a wraith's howl wouldn't be so excited and full of life 'alive'.

Ian faced the group of lizards head-on, with a serious expression on his face, and with a trace of alertness that could be called 'nervous'!

Because those monitor lizards who turned around have become completely different from before—the rough skin of the other side that was originally bark-like began to swell and become smooth, but this smoothness is not the healthy one. It's slippery, but something swells from the inside, making the skin smooth.

One after another, swollen smooth pustules appeared on the skin surface of these monitor lizards, and it was even possible to vaguely see some blue-black speckled living things swimming rapidly inside these pustules... But the most terrifying thing was not this.

It's the eyes of these monitor lizards.

The eyes of the lizards were originally deeply sunken in their deep and wide eye sockets, protected by a thick layer of eyelids. After all, they do not rely on good eyesight to live, and they only need to distinguish almost enough.

But now, the eyes of these monitor lizards are strangely protruding—as if something swelled up inside the eye sockets, pushing out all the light brown eyeballs out of the eye sockets, exposing the blue-red wriggling inside. muscle.

And... parasites.

A group of light blue parasites squirmed and writhed in the flesh and blood, burrowing in and out, releasing a disgusting vitality...and a strange horror.
