Chapter 255: Magical Lizard
As if a long century had passed, when Ling Zikai felt that his surroundings had returned to calm, he withdrew the energy shield beside him.
Glancing at the surrounding scene, I saw that a ray of light was once again projected into the cave on the top of the cave, restoring the light in the space inside the cave.
The cave is still there, but the scene inside has changed beyond recognition
Ground
Everywhere there were scattered broken grass and roots, and all the plants were uprooted, torn into countless stumps and leaves by the strong wind, and lost their vitality.
Even the water in the pool was gone, revealing the parched bottom.
The plants and fish swimming at the bottom of the water were also gone, and it was unknown whether they had been blown away by the wind or were hiding in some unknown place.
In the middle of the pool, a dark hole was revealed on the ground, presumably the passage that connected to the underground river when entering the cave.
Ling Zikai's heart swelled up with a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. It was really hard work for most of the day, and in the blink of an eye I returned to the pre-liberation period. All the creatures in the cave, including the abundant vitality essence, were all destroyed in this accident.
There are times in life when you have to have it, and there is no time in life when you have to ask for it!
Maybe the heavenly treasures in this cave were not originally available to themselves, and even if they were discovered by themselves, they did not have the fate to have them.
"Ang"
A sudden roar sounded in the cave, shaking Ling Zikai's eardrums and making him jump in fright.
Just as he was about to check where the sound was coming from, he felt something tugging at his trouser legs.
Ling Zikai hurriedly looked down, but saw that at some point, a strange little animal appeared at his feet.
The reason why it is said to be a strange animal is because Ling Zikai has not only never seen this kind of animal, but has never heard of it.
I saw that the small animal in front of me was completely black, with a slender body with a long tail, more than 20 centimeters long.
The skin on the surface is covered with scales, and there is a serrated bony scale from the top of the head to the tail of the back.
Under the abdomen there are four claws covered with scales and four sharp nails.
It resembles a lizard in appearance, but it has a large head and two large eyes protruding from the forehead. Especially when the wide mouth is opened, the two rows of white sharp teeth on the upper and lower palate give people a very terrifying feeling.
At this time, while the little lizard was pulling Ling Zikai's trouser leg with one front paw, it raised its head high and looked at him with a pair of dark eyes wide open, with a bit of curiosity in its eyes.
You don't have to guess to know that this little lizard must have hatched from that stone egg.
In other words, this is supposed to be an ancient animal that lived tens of millions of years ago and has been resurrected in this world.
If this news is spread by someone, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire biological world.
However, in the face of this ancient creature in front of him, Ling Zikai's mood couldn't be excited. For the birth of this little thing, I paid a terrible price, and some of the gains outweighed the losses.
Besides, this little lizard doesn't look much strange except for its somewhat special appearance. If you can hatch a Tyrannosaurus rex, or a pterosaur or something, maybe it can bring some comfort to your heart. But when you look at this little thing, there is no comparison with the dinosaurs in your memory.
Maybe it was because the little lizard had the existence of ancestral god energy in its body, and it seemed to be a little affectionate to Ling Zikai, and kept rubbing his legs and feet with his body.
However, Ling Zikai was not moved by the proximity of the little lizard in his heart, but kicked away with his foot a little impatiently, and let Hou keep searching among the broken grass and leaves, hoping to find a few surviving spirit grasses.
The little lizard didn't know why Ling Zikai kicked himself away, let out a call from his mouth, and after standing up, he looked at him with some grievances. Then he swayed his swaying body, and followed him with a fart.
Ling Zikai ignored the little lizard that followed behind him, and after searching in the cave, his heart was full of disappointment.
Underneath the broken leaves of those remnants of grass, although he was fortunate to find some spirit grass that had survived and escaped the catastrophe, when he dug it out, he found that the life essence contained in the spirit grass had completely disappeared, and it had obviously been sucked away.
Ling Zikai let out a long sigh.
Since it is already destined to be empty and happy, there is no point in staying in this cave any longer, even if there are more regrets and unwillingness in my heart, I can't change the facts in front of me.
Ling Zikai gave up the search and walked towards the waterhole, preparing to leave the cave.
The little lizard still followed behind him, but he was afraid that Ling Zikai would kick him again, so he kept his distance from him.
The area of the pool is not large, but it is more than ten meters deep, and I don't know how the pool water in it will disappear, is it leaking along the stone cave at the bottom of the pool?
Ling Zikai felt a little incredible, and he didn't think much about it, but how to climb down such a deep pit and go down to the bottom of the pool is a difficult problem, so he can't jump down directly.
I remembered that there seemed to be some vines growing in this cave before, and I don't know if I can find them now.
After taking a turn in the cave, Ling Zikai finally found some vines. Although it has been blown off by the wind, each section is still two or three meters long, and it can be used to connect them.
Ling Zikai picked out some vines the thickness of his thumb and connected them to each other.
After more than ten meters, I found a huge rock on the edge of the pool, tied one end of the vine tightly to the rock, and pulled it hard with my hand a few times, feeling that it was still strong and there should be no problem in bearing my own weight.
Then throw the other end of the vine down the pond pit, which is still more than two meters away from the bottom of the pool. At this distance, even if you jump directly, there is no danger.
After Ling Zikai sorted out his belongings, he grabbed the vines and climbed down.
Just as his body fell into the pit, the little lizard ran to the edge of the pool and hissed at him, as if to remind Ling Zikai why he didn't take it with him.
Ling Zikai looked up at the little lizard lying on the edge of the pool, and he was a little breathless, and scolded: "You little reptile has made Lao Zikong happy, and you still want me to take you away, you think it's beautiful!"
After speaking, he ignored it, grabbed the vine and quickly fell to the bottom of the pool.
Although the little lizard couldn't understand what Ling Zikai said to him, he understood from his actions that the other party didn't want to take him with him, so he couldn't help but get a little anxious, stretched out his front body to the edge of the pool, and wanted to jump down. But I found that the bottom of the pool was so deep, and I was instinctively afraid. I had to keep screaming at Ling Zikai there.
After Ling Zikai arrived at the bottom of the pool, he looked up at the little lizard who was in a hurry on the edge of the pool, smiled a little proudly, and shouted to it: "You can stay in this stone cave for the rest of your life!
At this moment, the little lizard seemed to break out, and suddenly jumped to the bottom of the pool.
Ling Zikai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the little lizard would follow him even if he gave up his life, and for a while regret rose in his heart: jumping directly from such a high top, this little lizard would definitely be thrown to death!
Just when Ling Zikai felt that the little lizard was about to die at the bottom of the pool, he saw that the little lizard that fell halfway suddenly flicked its long tail a few times, and after a pause, it suddenly glided towards the wall of the pool.
When he was about to hit the stone wall, the four claws grabbed the stone wall, and the sharp claws actually dug a few small holes in it, and forcibly stopped the rapid fall.
Immediately afterward, the little lizard's four claws kept scratching at the stone wall alternately to create stone holes. In a puff of flying stone dust, the body of the little lizard fell quickly against the stone wall.
Ling Zikai was a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "My mother, these rocks can't be made of tofu, otherwise how could the claws of this little reptile scratch a small hole in it so easily."
In the blink of an eye, the little lizard had already landed at the bottom of the pool, and when it ran to a place a meter away from Ling Zikai, it stopped, wanting to come up and get close to Ling Zikai, but he was afraid that he would be angry, so he had to look at him with pitiful eyes.
Ling Zikai was moved by the little lizard's sincerity, and said to it: "Okay, since you want to be me and a fart, then follow it!"
The little lizard seemed to understand what Ling Zikai meant, and immediately showed a happy look, ran to his side, and rubbed his calf a few times with its paws.
Ling Zikai squatted down, touched the little lizard's head with his hand, and then picked it up. The little lizard immediately showed a obedient look and snuggled up in his arms.
This little thing still has a bit of aura, take it back and keep it as a pet!
Ling Zikai patted the little lizard and let it lie on his shoulder.
After entering the tunnel leading to the underground river, the current in it also disappeared, but there was no need to dive anymore, so I groped my way into the cave wall.
When he came to the entrance of the underground river, Ling Zikai remembered that this changing exit would only open every two hours. When the time comes, the groundwater will definitely pour in, and I don't know if I can withstand the impact of the current.
Ling Zikai watched closely at the change in the entrance with his consciousness, and at the same time was ready, as soon as the whirlpool appeared, he would rush away.
After waiting for a while, there was a fluctuation at the entrance, and a hole was revealed. It's just that unlike what I expected, after the hole appeared, there was no water rushing in.
Ling Zikai didn't have time to think about this problem, and hurriedly rushed out when the hole was expanded to a meter in size.
After breaking through the invisible barrier, Ling Zikai unexpectedly found that the water in the underground river had dried up, could it be that the changes in the cave had caused the underground river to stop flowing?
This series of changes made Ling Zikai's thinking numb. If you can't solve these mysteries yourself, why bother to explore the reasons and spend those brain cells in vain.
Leaving the dry riverbed, I found the way out, and after a while, I came to the cave where the mysterious bones were.
Just as he entered the cave, the little lizard lying on Ling Zikai's shoulder seemed to have noticed something, suddenly jumped out, and ran forward.
