Chapter 165: Classic Hunt
Chapter 165: Classic Hunt
In reality, it would take another two or three days for Lin Sai to completely rid his body of toxins.
But he didn't want to let this opportunity slip by.
His injuries were on par with the Blackscale Lizard's.
Lin Sai's current condition wasn't ideal, but he had the aid of detoxification potions and the unexpected support of Calder.
On the other hand, the Blackscale Lizard...
If this creature were to fully recover, its difficulty level would absolutely skyrocket!
After their previous encounter, it would undoubtedly be on guard against Lin Sai's underground ambush.
It would be better to take advantage of its unhealed wounds, grit their teeth, and take it down once and for all.
After making this decision, Lin Sai's next task was to cook!
He built a campfire right in front of Carlton and used his skills to make a batch of maple syrup pancakes and a fruit and veggie roast.
One of these dishes would accelerate the recovery of his life force.
The other was the highest-stat-boosting food Lin Sai could make.
He also brought along the Treant Crown, which increased his physique.
After this meal, Lin Sai's physique, originally at 23 points, soared to 27!
As a result, the speed at which Lin Sai's body automatically cleared the remaining toxins almost doubled.
At the same time, it didn't affect his normal activities.
That very night, Lin Sai and Calder set out from the edge of the Frozen Swamp, heading towards the lake where the Blackscale Lizard rested.
After the previous battle, the Blackscale Lizard dared not be careless. It slept alone in the lake, repairing its injured body.
In the surrounding swamp, Glacier Elementals patrolled.
These originally dormant Elemental Beings had chosen to submit and no longer resisted, and at this moment, they were the Blackscale Lizard's loyal guards!
"..."
"Calder, follow me."
Under the night sky ravaged by the cold wind, Lin Sai led Calder through the swamp.
These patrolling Glacier Elementals might be tricky for others, but with the help of the map, Lin Sai could easily avoid them before they even noticed him.
At the same time, as they moved forward, Calder, who was following Lin Sai, also provided assistance in his own way.
Glacier Elementals, unlike Flame Elementals, perceive objects through light reflection and can be considered Elemental Beings with 'normal eyes.' However, the difference is that they can sense light all over their bodies, so they inherently have a completely blind spot-free field of vision.
Using this visual advantage and the advantage of being the same species as the Glacier Elementals, even when Lin Sai and Calder encountered difficult-to-pass patrol points, Calder could detect them in advance and point out the most suitable positions to cover Lin Sai.
Four hours later, late at night, Lin Sai and Calder reached the edge of the lake. The sleeping Blackscale Lizard lay in the center of the lake.
"Lin Sai, don't step into the water."
Calder gave a prompt:
"This lake water is connected to its Source Energy. You'll be discovered the moment you touch it."
Lin Sai nodded in understanding:
"No problem, then I'll hide here."
"Let's stick to the plan."
As he finished speaking, Lin Sai started digging at the edge of the lake.
He picked up the Meteor Hammer and dug a small pit from the ground, then jumped into it himself. Calder then imitated other sleeping Glacier Elementals and blocked the pit.
Clack—Clack—Clack—
Underground, out of sight, Lin Sai dug a pitfall trap with his hammer.
After ensuring the depth was sufficient, he went to the entrance and tapped on Calder above.
"I'm ready."
Calder said nothing.
He removed his disguise and walked towards the lake.
"Hiss!"
Almost simultaneously, the Blackscale Lizard in the lake opened its eyes.
When the intruder that entered its territory turned out to be a Glacier Elemental, it first breathed a sigh of relief, but then anger took over.
"Damn it!"
"Get out of here and patrol properly!"
A hailstone, as an answer, smashed into the Black Scaled Lizard in the lake.
The beast with an injured abdomen in the lake didn't even realize what had happened to it.
It wasn't until the hailstone was pushed away by the gas shield on its body.
Only then did it realize that the weak Elemental Being it was guarding here was attacking it!
"A weakling who can't defeat humans doesn't deserve to restrict my freedom!"
At that moment, Calder started to pour oil on the fire.
It spoke through the vibrations of the Ice Crystal:
"Let the Dragon Beast send a stronger one to replace you; it's time for you to scram!"
"..."
Faced with such provocation, the Black Scaled Lizard's green snake-like eyes immediately locked onto Calder.
Then, it rushed over with frantic steps.
Clearly, it wanted to teach Calder a lesson.
It was telling him that even when injured, a Fifth Stage Beast is not someone a Fourth Stage Elemental Being can provoke!
"..."
"It worked."
From a distance, Lindsey saw this scene and a smile appeared on his lips.
The hunting diary clearly described the Black Scaled Lizard's brutal personality; when faced with provocation from the weak, this guy would definitely be consumed by rage.
In other situations, it would undoubtedly ignite the air and blast Calder into a pile of shattered ice.
But the Black Scaled Lizard was responsible.
The Dragon Beast, as its master, had ordered it to guard these Glacier Elementals, not to kill them and disturb the regenerating Glacier Elementals' promotion.
It couldn't kill, but it still needed to vent its violence.
A brutal physical attack was undoubtedly the final answer.
Using this idea, Lindsey felt that the Black Scaled Lizard would most likely fall for it.
Reality proved this to be true; its brutal nature lured it out of the lake and chased after Calder on the shore.
However, when it left the lake and stepped onto the ground.
As it prepared to vent its anger and torment the Glacier Elemental in front of it.
Slap—
Its body suddenly fell downward, and the Black Scaled Lizard realized it had fallen into a trap.
Its snake-like eyes narrowed.
It immediately tried to grab the edge of the pit to stop its fall.
"Get down there!"
Almost simultaneously, a large wolf-fang mace emerged from the nearby soil and struck its back.
Thud! The Ice Badger Wolf-Fang Mace was heavy and powerful, instantly smashing the Black Scaled Lizard down.
Immediately after, several flame bombs were scattered, and the clumps of soil Lindsey had prepared earlier quickly sealed the pit's entrance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
From beneath the ground, a series of low, muffled sounds reverberated.
Ordinary flame bombs indeed couldn't penetrate the Black Scaled Lizard's gas shield.
But in a completely enclosed underground space.
Multiple bombs were detonated together, and the shock from the explosions couldn't disperse quickly, instead accumulating in the limited space and causing the explosion waves to reflect and further intensify!
"Argh! Woof!"
The Black Scaled Lizard's roar turned into a howl, and its several-meter-long body was directly blasted into contortions.
The originally well-protected gas shield was violently torn open.
However, the tough scales on its body made a final effort to protect it.
It was at this moment that the soil at the pit's entrance disappeared.
Lindsey's figure appeared, holding the Horned Great Bow and aiming a Piercing Arrow, burning with flame, at the Black Scaled Lizard's eye:
"You're indeed a troublesome opponent."
"But unfortunately, it ends here."
