Path of light

Chapter 107 108. Basilisk

Claire sat astride the branches of the big tree, finally waking up a little.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the giant creature crawling slowly among the grass dozens of meters away. Then he looked at Roy sliding down the tree trunk, and he suddenly woke up.

Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.

He didn't even dare to shout loudly, and followed Roy and slipped out of the tree.

Roy thought Claire slipped down from the tree to help.

He leaned down and moved toward the patch of grass where the monitor lizard was hiding.

Claire grabbed Roy from behind and pulled him hard...

After a while, the two retreated to the big tree.

The one was nearly four meters long. From a distance, it looked like an alligator. It was round and round, like a fat pig with fat leaking from its butt. Its skin was the same color as the grass. When its mouth was closed, a row of sharp teeth were exposed. outside.

This was a basilisk that had just grown up, and Claire didn't even dare to speak loudly.

The two of them hid in the tree. Claire then approached Roy's ear and said to him in a low voice:

"Do you know how powerful it is?"

Roy could sense the panic in Claire's eyes.

Claire looked at the grass in the distance again. The basilisk was still crawling slowly in the grass.

At this time, it was lurking in the grass.

Claire whispered to Roy:

"This is a basilisk, and it looks to be an adult, so I'm sure it's a level two monster. As long as it opens its mouth, it can easily bite the big tree in front of it. It's impossible for the two of us to kill it. A basilisk fell and we got out of here quickly before it noticed us!"

Speaking of which, this should be the second Warcraft Roy has ever seen.

The first one is Mrs. Winnie’s nightsaber cub. It’s cute and cute, without any threat...

Claire stared nervously at the grass over there, and only then did Roy realize that the basilisk hiding in the grass opposite was actually a first-level monster.

Although it looks so fat that it can hardly crawl, as long as it is a monster, it is not something that the two of them can mess with.

Roy carelessly wanted to touch it before, but in fact he was completely misled by the teachers at the Elf Academy.

Before coming to the Malaga Jungle, more than one teacher in the college said that the Malaga Jungle is very safe. Apart from poisonous insects, snakes and ants that need to be guarded against, there is not even a single large beast in the entire Malaga Jungle. There are no beasts with any attack power.

This gave Roy the illusion that the fat and oily monitor lizard in front of him might be a docile lizard that eats grass...

Claire said it was a Level 2 monster, which shocked Roy.

Thinking about his previous reckless actions, he was simply delivering food to this big lizard...

"Come on, I don't want either of us to turn into a piece of lizard excrement." Claire continued.

Roy hid on the horizontal branch of the big tree, looked at the monitor lizard in the grass with some confusion, and quickly opened the parchment map, confirming that this place was still within the scope of the Malaga Jungle, and it was close to the northwest On the edge, but definitely not out of the Malaga jungle.

"How did it appear in the Malaga jungle?" Roy asked in confusion.

"have no idea……"

Claire responded.

The two were preparing to leave...

Roy looked at the petrified giant lizard with some reluctance, and found that the crushed grass behind the giant lizard was stained with some blood that was about to dry up.

The petrified monitor lizard lying in the grass also had its eye masks closed, and its limbs were pressed unnaturally under its body...

Although no wounds were found on the basilisk, Roy was sure of this:

"Claire, look...it seems to be injured."

"Even if it's injured, it's still a basilisk. It's a monster, a powerful second-level monster." Claire reminded Roy.

"Otherwise, wait..." Roy didn't want to give up on the giant lizard just like that, so he said to Claire.

"Then let's wait here, maybe it just wants to take a nap!" Claire also thought it was worth observing again and agreed.

Roy didn't wait in the tree. It was stuffy and hot in the Malaga jungle...

Although you can still feel a bit of wind here, the wind blowing is also warm.

At Roy's suggestion, the two slid down the tree again, walked around dozens of meters and slowly turned behind the basilisk.

When the two of them moved forward, one of them was basically standing guard at a high place, and the other dared to move forward. They alternately covered the path that the basilisk must pass through, and on the vast expanse of grass that had been overwhelmed, Roy found the dried blood easily.

Roy followed the crawling traces of the basilisk and walked a little further back. As expected, there were always blood stains along the way. Although they were intermittent, they never stopped...

And in some grass nests, you can also find some large pools of blood.

"It seems that he was indeed injured, and it has never healed... I just felt a little unusual when a monster appeared here. He must have been injured before running into the Malaga jungle." Roy dropped the gun in his hand. Damn it, said to Claire.

"Even if such a big guy is injured, we can't handle it!" Claire continued to emphasize.

"How about taking another look? The skin on such a big guy must be very valuable. Maybe it's enough to make two sets of leather armor!" Roy said.

"Then just wait..."

Claire didn't object.

…

The basilisk lying in the grass seemed to be asleep, lying motionless in the grass.

The two of them squatted in the tree for most of the day, taking turns staring at the petrified giant lizard lying in the grass.

Roy was a little impatient with waiting, so he asked Claire, who was responsible for observing the movement of the basilisk:

"Claire, how's it going?"

"Still lying there, I can't tell whether he's dead or alive..." Claire replied in a low voice as she sat slightly higher on the tree.

After looking at the wild grass in the distance, Roy decided to take the risk and take a closer look, and said, "I'll go take a look."

"Don't go..." Claire didn't want Roy to take risks and shouted quickly.

Roy took out two iron drills from his luggage bag and said to Claire, "I have a way!"

"Why do you still bring this?" Claire looked at the two iron drills in Roy's hand and asked doubtfully.

In fact, what Roy was holding was not an iron drill. Roy held it up and showed it to Claire before saying:

“Originally, I was worried that there would be stormy weather. I was afraid that the tent would be blown away by the strong wind and I would have to sleep in the wind all day long, so I brought a windproof rope and these drills...”

Claire saw a row of barbs on the drill and asked Roy, "Is this the tip of the speargun?"

"Well, Abt and I found it on the Black Pearl. There are several boxes. They are all brand new and sharp enough. I am going to set up a few traps..."

After Roy finished speaking, he slid down from the tree quickly. On the straight path between the big tree and the petrified giant lizard, he cautiously walked a few meters away towards the petrified giant lizard. Then he squatted down and put the tip of the gun in his hand. Bury it into the soil at an angle of 45 degrees toward the giant lizard, with half of the spear tip exposed.

Roy was even worried that the basilisk's huge body would knock the tip of the gun into the soil after hitting it. He also placed a stone under the mud layer so that the tip of the gun would be against the stone and the basilisk would hit it again. There was no way the tip of the gun would be knocked back into the soil.

Roy placed four spear points in succession along the line, and then climbed up the tree.

"Try shooting it with an arrow..." Roy said to Claire sitting in the tree.

Claire took out a combat short bow from the magic waist bag, attached a feather arrow, and then said to Roy: "Once it catches up, we will jump down immediately and run far away. This guy should He’s injured, so he shouldn’t be able to catch up with us!”

"Okay!" Roy agreed quickly.

Claire opened her bow and nocked an arrow, and the arrow flew towards the basilisk's head with a whoosh.

Although the two of them were more than fifty meters away from the basilisk, Claire's archery skills were very good, and the first arrow almost flew past the basilisk's head.

Immediately afterwards, Claire shot a second arrow.

This time the arrow hit the basilisk's left eye steadily, and the arrow pierced its face, but the basilisk lay motionless.

Roy and Claire looked at each other, with some surprise in their eyes.

Without Roy needing to say anything, Claire shot three more arrows at the basilisk, two of which hit the basilisk's head.

Seeing that the basilisk remained motionless, Roy and Claire felt relieved.

Roy was about to slip down from the tree immediately and get closer to observe, but Claire insisted on staying safe, pulling Roy and saying, "Wait, be patient, it's worth waiting a little longer."

In this way, the two waited in the tree for another two quarters of an hour, and saw the basilisk still lying motionless in the grass.

Roy said:

"It seems like he won't wake up again..."

With that said, Roy slipped down quickly.

Claire held the combat short bow and followed Roy cautiously.

Roy pushed aside the grass with some fear, and finally saw the basilisk lying in the grass a few meters away. Although he couldn't feel its breathing and there were three arrows stuck in its head, Roy was still there. He found a fist-sized stone on the ground and threw it towards the basilisk's head.

‘bang’

The stone thrown hit the basilisk's head accurately, and the basilisk still lay motionless on the spot.

Only then did Roy feel completely relieved, and walked through the grass to the basilisk, only to see a pool of blood where it lay.

This basilisk has been dead for a long time.

Roy untied a bundle of ropes from his body, trying to tie up the basilisk, and then drag it under the big tree...

Although the basilisk's head was tied up with a rope, the big guy was too heavy. He and Claire couldn't even lift such a big basilisk.
