Volume 4 Chapter 55 The Giant Dhaka and the Petrified Monitor Lizard
If you want to get in touch with Juno, you have to take out Magu. But in this state, taking out Magu means making those giant Dhaka creatures enemies. Although in terms of strength, Shi Leiyin is far stronger than those giant Dhaka creatures, the sense of oppression brought by the huge body still makes Shi Leiyin instinctively unwilling to be an enemy with him.
What's more, Shrayin's devouring instinct doesn't have the slightest desire to devour the giant Dhaka creatures, as if the giant Dhaka weren't creatures but stone statues.
Then Shrayin discovers that the giant Dhaka creatures were actually stone statues—stone statues to be exact.
Perhaps it was because it didn't take long for these giant Dhaka creatures to be turned into stone statues, so their own power and momentum still retained a lot. And Shi Leiyin was disturbed by being teleported to the enemy's hinterland, so he didn't realize that these giant Dhaka creatures had been petrified into statues.
There was a slight roar in the distance, and combined with the information in his memory of the secret realm of the Stone Forest, Shi Leiyin had probably guessed what the creatures that had petrified these giant Dhaka were.
The petrified monitor lizard is also known as the fossil earth dragon by humans. Although it does not actually have dragon blood, the petrified monitor lizard has the head of a bipedal wyvern, and its body is different from that of ordinary lizards, with short front legs and thick and long hind legs, and the hips are held high by the hind legs, making it more like a triangle. The back is covered with grayish-white rock-like scales, these scales are the petrification of the scales that the petrified monitor lizard has applied to its own scales since childhood, and the laminated rock-like structure has an excellent defense effect against both physical attacks and magical damage, and the petrified monitor lizard can also use petrification to repair damaged scales.
The petrified monitor lizard is a seventh-order magical beast, with an adult level of fifteen and a few individuals capable of reaching level seventeen. As the top creature in the secret realm of the Stone Forest, the petrified monitor lizard has extremely strong individual combat power and intimidating group living habits.
The community of petrified monitor lizards is generally composed of about ten to twenty petrified monitor lizards, and the leader is usually a male who has reached level seventeen. Most of the adult individuals in the colony are females. Unlike lions or elephants, petrified monitor lizards do not drive young males out of their colonies. This is due to the fact that petrified monitor lizards have a rare ratio of nearly 1:10 between eggs and males hatching. After the emergence of new males in the community, the petrified monitor lizard expands the number of individuals in the community, dividing the community when the young males reach adulthood. Young males lead new colonies out to gain their territory. The habit of dividing the community of petrified monitor lizards made the petrified monitor lizard, which originally had only one community in the early days of the establishment of the Stone Forest Secret Realm, spread almost all over the entire inner circle of the three layers, becoming the most powerful and powerful monster community in the Stone Forest Secret Realm.
The petrified monitor lizard is huge, with an adult body length of up to 25 meters and a hip height of 12 meters, and with the hard and heavy petrified scales on its back, the petrified monitor lizard is a giant monster that moves slowly.
Judging from the physical characteristics of the super-giant Dhaka creatures that have been turned into stone statues, at least more than the average super-giant Dhaka are derived from petrified monitor lizards, and it is likely that they are also boss-level petrified monitor lizards that have been infected and alienated.
However, it is clear that the infection and alienation of the creatures in Dhaka did not give them high resistance to petrification by petrified monitor lizards. These mega Dhaka were turned into stone statues by the petrified monitor lizard's talent for petrification. Judging from the speed of petrification, it can be seen that at least an entire colony of petrified monitor lizards will use petrification on the same super giant Dhaka creature to cause this petrification state that retains some of its momentum.
A distant roar was clearly a sign that a petrified monitor lizard was attacking the creatures of Dhaka. Although the petrified monitor lizard is a magical beast and does not have a high level of intelligence, it has a strong sense of race and family. Instead of fighting, the related petrified monitor lizard community will come to the aid of the other when one party is in trouble, and will even allow the other to enter their territory for a while. The petrified monitor lizards in the Stone Forest Secret Realm actually originated from the same community, and it was obvious that the infection and alienation of the petrified monitor lizard by Dhaka creatures caused the collective anger of the petrified monitor lizard. According to the information that Shi Leiyin knew, it was likely that the original petrified monitor lizard leader who had already stepped into the demon king level was leading all the petrified monitor lizards in the entire inner circle to attack the nest of Dhaka creatures.
And for Shi Leiyin, the important thing is that in this case, the intelligent Dhaka creature is likely to be there.
The difficulty of a seventh-order petrified monitor lizard to advance is far greater than that of those low-level monsters, and the higher the upper limit, the more difficult it is to break through. However, the initial male petrified monitor lizard leader in the Stone Forest Secret Realm had already entered the nineteenth-level strength level with his talent, and he had pushed himself into the limit of the seventh order by relying on his strength, and he only needed to take another half step to enter the eighth order and become a demon king-level monster. And even if it has not yet reached the eighth level, the leader of this petrified monitor lizard already possesses wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, and its age of hundreds of years has given it enough experience and experience to lay traps to turn those abominable creatures alienated from his own descendants into eternal stone statues.
When Shrayin sneaked into the area of the fighting, the situation was just as he expected.
A huge petrified monitor lizard nearly 100 meters long and nearly 50 meters tall was lying on the opposite side of a giant Dhaka lair, which was also nearly 100 meters high.
The petrified monitor lizard is surrounded by about fifty large petrified monitor lizards with a length of about fifty meters, as well as hundreds of adult petrified monitor lizards of normal size.
The giant Dhaka lair was surrounded by nearly two hundred super giant Dhaka creatures with a height of nearly fifty meters. Most of these Dhaka creatures bear the body traces of petrified monitor lizards, apparently alienated from petrified monitor lizards.
The main force fighting against the petrified monitor lizard group is also these Dhaka creatures alienated from the petrified monitor lizard.
When Shi Leiyin arrived, there was no melee fighting, but instead roaring and firing petrification rays at each other.
Although the petrified monitor lizard is smaller, it has the advantage of numbers, and with each concentrated jet, a giant Dhaka creature will be instantly petrified into a statue.
On the other hand, on the side of the giant Dhaka creatures, the power and thickness of the petrification rays are incomparable to ordinary petrified monitor lizards, but the actual effect is much smaller than that of the other party. The scales on the back of the petrified monitor lizard are formed by the countless petrifications they have withdrew, and their resistance to petrification is unmatched. Even if two or three giant Dhaka creatures fired a salvo at a petrified monitor lizard, they would only be able to petrify part of the opponent's body, and if they were in a different position, they would even gradually return to their original state.
Although the giant Dhaka side tends to be at a disadvantage, Shrayin doesn't think the petrified monitor lizard will win. Neither side has yet entered the battlefield with its main fighting forces, and it is too early to judge the outcome of the battle. For Shi Leiyin, the figure standing above the head of one of the giant Dhaka creatures in the back was the key to his concern.
