Chapter 162: Fierce Battle
Chapter 162: Fierce Battle
"Its unarmored abdomen!"
"What if I slip and accidentally feed this guy?"
Lin Sai knew the weakness of this Blackscale Lizard.
However, when this creature moved, its abdomen was so close to the ground that it would be difficult for anyone to maneuver underneath it.
The plan was to flip the entire Blackscale Lizard over and then stab it to death.
"If it's dead, then there's no problem."
"But it's alive, it will resist and attack!"
Lin Sai didn't think he could easily slide under the lizard and strike its belly.
This was like an ordinary person slipping and killing a tiger or a black bear with a single swipe.
Boom! Boom! Boom! At the same moment, the air exploded again.
Lin Sai dove into the bushes, temporarily blocking the Blackscale Lizard's perception of him, but the ferocious beast immediately gave chase, blindly attacking the area around Lin Sai based on its sense of smell.
These explosions didn't hit Lin Sai directly.
But they did manage to enclose him within a vague area.
"Not giving me even a moment's rest."
Lin Sai cursed inwardly and immediately took off running.
This time, he wasn't just running away; he slapped his right hand on his left arm, switching the Molten Flame Emblem on it to the Mountain Crest Emblem.
Since sliding under the lizard wasn't an option.
He decided to use the power of the Mountain Crest Emblem to earth-dive underground and deliver a powerful strike to this formidable monster!
Lin Sai had only one concern—time.
The effect of the Mountain Crest Emblem could only last for seven seconds at most, and after using it, it would enter a half-hour recharge period, each with its advantages and disadvantages compared to the Molten Flame Emblem, which relied entirely on the user's source energy.
So, Lin Sai had to seize the opportunity.
Within seven seconds, he had to dive underground, locate the lizard, attack it, and then find a place to emerge.
Otherwise, the outcome would be...
Lin Sai might fail to locate the lizard underground and miss his attack.
Or, his plan might succeed, but he would waste time and end up buried alive.
As he pondered this, the attack sequence played out in his mind.
Lin Sai slowed his pace, and the pursuit of the Blackscale Lizard behind him gradually drew closer...
Swish!
The next moment, Lin Sai sprinted to the edge of the bushes and stepped onto the pure white ice surface.
"This is the spot!"
At that moment, the Blackscale Lizard was still in pursuit from behind.
The bushes and mounds obstructed its vision, but it couldn't hide the prey's scent and footsteps.
It closely followed Lin Sai, intent on killing the human intruder in its territory, and every few seconds, it controlled the air to collide and explode.
But in that instant.
The scent of its prey in front suddenly contracted, and the panicked footsteps also disappeared.
"Hiss!"
The Blackscale Lizard charged forward, and its field of vision suddenly opened up.
Beyond the bushes was a clean, white ice surface, and there was no sign of any enemy. The prey's scent seemed to have vanished right there.
The Blackscale Lizard paused, perplexed.
Where did the prey go?
Could it be that, like the bats its sister had just killed, the prey had disappeared the moment it died...
Slap—Boom!
In an instant, the air current shield on the Blackscale Lizard's abdomen collided with something.
The object didn't instantly break through the shield's protection.
But this attack wasn't an arrow that could be stopped and have its force completely dissipated.
Lin Sai's Ice Badger Dagger, extended from underground, exerted continuous force, instantly piercing through the air current shield's protection and then stabbing into the lizard's body.
A sharp pain immediately surged through it.
At the same time, both ice and fire source energies began to erode its body.
But more importantly, the sharp object that had pierced its body was still moving, as if it was going to completely dissect its entire abdomen!
"Hissss!"
The Blackscale Lizard, in extreme pain, realized its life was hanging by a thread.
It rolled on the spot, its massive body weighing over two tons, and its well-muscled limbs thrashed about.
And unwilling to let go of his dagger, Lin Sai, who wanted to strike down his opponent with one blow.
Just like that, he gripped the dagger tightly, and the exaggerated force directly carried him into the air!
Fortunately, Lin Sai reacted swiftly.
He adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily.
At this moment, the power of the Mountain Crest Emblem had just ended, and he wiped the black-scaled lizard dragon's blood from his face with his hand, staring at the enemy ahead.
The enemy shook off Lin Sai and had also straightened his body.
"Hiss!!!
The black-scaled lizard dragon opened its huge mouth, hissing at Lin Sai.
The stench from its mouth almost hit Lin Sai's face.
Lin Sai remained silent, instantly leaping to the side, avoiding the impending air explosion.
"..."
But the air was eerily quiet.
The black-scaled lizard dragon did not attack Lin Sai.
Upon seeing the human in front of him jump away, this beast, which had been roaring in defiance just a moment ago, actually turned and fled into the grass without looking back, running in the direction they had come from!
"How can I let you get away!"
Seeing this, Lin Sai realized that his attack had taken effect.
The black-scaled lizard dragon was massive.
The wound inflicted by the dagger, although not instantly fatal, was enough to cause a severe injury.
So this beast with a ferocious nature.
Would choose to flee after intimidation instead of continuing to fight with Lin Sai!
Lin Sai, of course, wanted to press his advantage and take down the enemy in one fell swoop.
He chased after the black-scaled lizard dragon, rushing towards the Central Lake.
Whoosh—
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew.
Lin Sai shivered from the chill.)
He instinctively wanted to continue the pursuit, but he immediately stopped and assumed a defensive stance.
This cold wind was unusual!
With the blessing of the Ice Wolverine Claw Pendant, ordinary cold weather would not affect Lin Sai.
The sudden change could only be an attack directed at him.
While maintaining his defensive stance, Lin Sai glanced at the map.
Among the red dots, in addition to the fleeing black-scaled lizard dragon, there were indeed other red dots appearing to his left!
"New enemies?"
The enemy's position was not far away.
Lin Sai's Ice Wolverine Dagger instantly switched with the Spider Silk Nightshade in his bag, and in the next second, several arrows pierced the air, their tips covered in the flames of the Meteor Fire Brooch, instantly burning away the grass in their path.
Then, Lin Sai saw the new enemy.
"Glacier Elemental?!"
The Glacier Elemental, which had awakened at some point, was now directly across from him, and the chilling wind it created was particularly uncomfortable for Lin Sai.
Due to previous experiments with Glacier Elementals.
The enemy's information was successfully recorded in the Hunting Diary in an instant during the battle.
The general information about the Glacier Elemental was consistent with the previous product information.
Below the name, there was an additional line indicating that it was a four-stage elemental being, and its weakness, as expected, was a fear of high temperatures.
The only change was that the yellow, symbolizing neutrality, had turned red.
Lin Sai instinctively expanded the map's range.
As expected, in the distance, other yellow dots representing Glacier Elementals gradually turned red, and they were converging towards Lin Sai's direction.
"I really thought I could negotiate with you."
"It seems like today will be a day of slaughter..."
Lin Sai took out the Flame Bomb, ready to teach the Glacier Elemental a lesson.
Just then.
"Hmm?!"
A strong sense of dizziness suddenly overwhelmed Lin Sai, and he felt extreme nausea and unease in his chest, as if his entire body was about to collapse.
He immediately realized the detail he had overlooked during the intense battle.
It was the black-scaled lizard dragon that had been slashed in the abdomen and roared at him, along with one of its abilities.
[Black-scaled Lizard Dragon - Its saliva contains venom.]
