"That's right." Old man Hu Yang nodded, looked at Yao Ding three meters away, and said, "I hope I can catch up." ”

"What's inside?" Ning Yuan followed Hu Yang's gaze to look at the smoke on the medicine tripod and asked, "Why does it emit such a peculiar smell?" ”

"Poison scatter - 'a line of incense'." Old Man Hu Yang turned his head to look at Ning Yuan, "A highly poisonous smoke incense that is irresistible to reptiles. It can halve the strength of a reptilian beast that is no more than a hero's level within half an hour, but at the same time, a reptilian beast that smokes this kind of cigarette incense after half an hour has a certain chance of advancing or alienating. It is one of the few prescriptions in the earth-level pills that has both positive and negative effects. ”

Ning Yuan's eyes lit up, and he frowned.

"How long will it take?"

Ning Yuan asked by tapping his forehead.

"Half an hour." Old Man Hu Yang's brows also furrowed, and he explained: "We are a temporary prescription. Originally, I just wanted to refine some 'bloodthirsty powder' and 'cartilage powder' to help the militia deal with those ordinary rock lizards first. But after seeing the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard, whose strength was obviously growing abnormally, I temporarily changed my mind. Because the refining time of the 'first-line incense' was not long, there were a few flavor excipients in the original medicinal materials, and they had special effects on reptilian beasts, so they were transferred. ”

"Then we can only pray now that the strength of this damn beast doesn't increase too quickly." After listening to Hu Yang's explanation, Ning Yuan nodded and looked at the battlefield and muttered.

"The key now is whether Tan Xiong can last half an hour." Old Man Hu Yang also nodded.

"Captain, he must be fine." Li Yi clenched his fists.

("Hopefully.") Ning Yuan glanced at Li Yi and turned his head to say secretly.

Others didn't know about Tan Xiong's situation, but Ning Yuan, who was Tan Xiong's oath, was able to check Tan Xiong's status as a follower in real time through retrieval skills as long as he was within his line of sight. And it is clear that Tan Xiong's condition is not good. His strength has faintly begun to fall from the peak of the gold school.

("Where the hell did this mysterious woman go?") ”）

Ning Yuan, who was furrowed, stared at the battlefield while unconsciously patrolling the surroundings.

————

At this time, the battlefield between Tan Xiong and the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard was already full of potholes, potholes of different depths, explosions sounded from time to time, impact sounds and smoke and dust all showed the fierceness of the battle.

However, it is true that as Ning Yuan observed, Tan Xiong already faintly showed signs of defeat.

After clearing the xenomorph energy on the petrified rays, Tan Xiong chose to use secret techniques to temporarily restore his peak strength because of Ning Yuan's actions. After that, two eruptions slew all the beasts except for the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard.

Originally, it was expected that the strength of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard would be at most the pinnacle of the Golden School level like him, and with all the means he had, he was sure that within twenty minutes of the secret technique, he would be sure to kill or severely damage this Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard that had been transformed by the accidental bloodline.

However, Tan Xiong didn't expect that this rock thorn dragon lizard was actually an out-of-specification existence. The number of means is more than that of a normal rock thorn dragon lizard, and its strength has not stopped climbing after reaching the peak of the gold school level, and it is already about to enter the purple general level. Moreover, Tan Xiong could obviously feel that the Purple General level would not be the end of this Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard's strength.

Tan Xiong, who used the "inch dodge" to dodge the encirclement formed by the bone spurs again, appeared on the side of the rock thorn dragon lizard, and the heavy axe in his hand was raised.

"Peak Chop!"

The Xuan Huang Yuan Qi on the axe surface was magnified in vain, forming a huge Yuan Qi axe blade that shrouded the physical axe face. However, before Tan Xiong could cut down the heavy axe, a phantom shadow hit the side of the Yuan Qi axe blade with lightning speed.

"Phew!" There was a loud bang on the ground, and the heavy axe that Tan Xiong was holding tightly in both hands was deflected by an irresistible huge force, and the balance of his entire body was completely disrupted.

"Suffer!" Just when Tan Xiong's heart was cold, he subconsciously strengthened the body protection cover.

"Boom!" Another phantom shadow flashed from the corner of his eye, followed by a huge force, with severe pain in his side and back, and the whole person flew up.

"Roar!" As the rock thorn dragon lizard roared excitedly, a large, nine, and ten Yuan Qi bombs appeared, attacking Tan Xiong, who had completely lost his room to dodge in midair.

"Not good!" "Suffer!" "Team Tan!" "Captain!"

Ning Yuan's four people unconsciously screamed when they saw this moment.

Ning Yuan subconsciously planned to rush out.

But just as the front foot was raised, his eyes suddenly widened.

A black shadow suddenly appeared at Tan Xiong's side, and then grabbed the neckline of Tan Xiong's armor and threw it back. Tan Xiong flew backwards in the direction of Ning Yuan at a faster speed.

After throwing Tan Xiong out, the black shadow waved one hand at the Yuan Qi Bullet.

The unthinkable happened.

The vitality bomb that was already close in front of me was directly extinguished like a candle flame blown by the wind.

("Who is it?!") ”）

In the distance, Ning Yuan's eyes widened, and he subconsciously rushed towards Tan Xiong's landing point, his expression shocked and his thoughts turned sharply.

("Is that her?") ”）

Just when everyone who saw the scene just now was shocked, the black shadow that had swept away the vitality bullet suddenly became clear.

The petite figure appeared in mid-air, looking down at the rock thorn dragon lizard not far below.

("Sure enough.") ”）

Ning Yuan, who caught Tan Xiong, flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw the iconic cat ears and pure black cat tail.

("Mao Qing.") ”）

Mao Qing, who was floating in the air by stepping on the air, frowned and looked at the rock thorn dragon lizard below, and said softly:

"Sure enough. But it's okay. ”

"Roar!" The blood-red eyes of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard looked at the petite figure in front of him and roared angrily, but the figure unconsciously took a few steps back.

The kitten woman in front of him gave it the feeling of being very dangerous.

"Huh. It's already a mid-level purple general. No wonder Tan Xiong is powerless. ”

Mao Qing chuckled and stepped on the non-existent steps to the ground, glanced back at the direction of everyone, and turned his eyes on the medicine tripod.

"A ray of incense? It's a pity that it is not needed. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard that had retreated again.

"Swallowing the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard of the Dragon Marrow Grass's bloodline alienation, the strength actually directly broke the upper limit of the strength of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard. If you guessed correctly, your peak strength should be a high-level Xuanjiang. ”

After a pause, he shook his head, a look of pity appeared on his delicate and elegant face, and his hoarse and charming voice continued:

"It's a pity, I can't wait for you to reach the peak of your strength before killing you. You must know that under the suppression of household registration, it is also very difficult to deal with the high-level goods of the Xuan Jiang with my current strength. I prefer to take it easy. ”

"Roar! ~" I don't know if I understood Mao Qing's words, Ning Yuan, who was watching from a distance, seemed to feel the suppressed fear of the rock thorn dragon lizard, and the originally fierce roar also seemed to reveal a fierce feeling.

"How strong is Mao Qing's strength?" Ning Yuan asked unconsciously after meeting with Tan Xiong, who had landed safely.

Tan Xiong turned around his waist to refine his vitality, and after soothing the pain in the position where his side waist was hit, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and raised his eyes to look at Mao Qing who was relaxed and indifferent in the distance.

"The specific strength is not clear, but it is definitely above the hero level."

Tan Xiong seemed to think for a moment before replying.

Then he raised his hand and arched to Ning Yuan and said, "Thank you, Lord for covering for your subordinates just now." ”

"Don't." Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly waved his hand, "I know that even if I don't block it, those few vitality bombs won't cause you any trouble." I just don't want accidents. ”

"Thank you, sir." Tan Xiong did not refute Ning Yuan's words, and arched his hand again.

"My lord, we'd better stay away. Although they are the same ground level, the strength of each layer of the ground level is very different. With the current strength of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard, this distance is not safe. ”

After a while, perhaps because the injury had begun to ease, Tan Xiong, whose face was gradually recovering, said to Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan nodded, glanced at the man and beast who were still confronting, and retreated with Tan Xiong in the direction of Old Man Hu Yang.

————

"Finally retreated."

Mao Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after sensing that Ning Yuan and the others had evacuated, her face turned slightly straight.

"Let's get started. If you wait any longer, it is really possible that you will be dragged to the Xuanjiang level. That would be too boring. Mao Qing looked at the rock thorn dragon lizard that had been climbing although it maintained a vigilant posture and said in a low voice.

As he spoke, a black vitality dagger appeared in his hand, and without any movement, the whole person turned into an afterimage and appeared in front of the rock thorn dragon lizard.

"Roar!" The Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard roared, and subconsciously spewed out a series of vitality bullets from its mouth, while rapidly retreating backwards between the swings of its limbs.

"You can't run." The corners of Mao Qing's mouth curved, and he whispered: "Phantom thorns!" ”

The black dagger in his hand turned into a black light.

Without any warning.

The rock thorn dragon lizard that was retreating suddenly shuddered, and its blood-red left eye suddenly exploded with a "snap", and blood burst out of its eye socket.

"Roar!" The rock thorn dragon lizard let out a miserable howl, and some of the bone spurs on both sides of its back flew out quickly to protect it, and some attacked Mao Qing.

From time to time, the leisurely Mao Qing turned into an afterimage, and the black dagger in his hand easily blocked the bone spurs that hit from all angles.

"Roar!" The Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard roared again, and sharp ground thorns suddenly appeared in the area of the earth where Mao Qing was. One after another, they stabbed out from under Mao Qing's feet.

However, Mao Qing still moved left and right unhurriedly, and the thorns seemed to stab Mao Qing one by one, but without exception, all of them hit the afterimage.

"Roar!" The annoyed rock thorn dragon lizard raised layer after wave of dirt and pushed out, trying to force Mao Qing to retreat or fly.

Bone spurs are like legendary flying swords, constantly encircling and attacking Mao Qing's figure from all directions.

Mao Qingliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the black dagger in his hand drew a circle in front of him, and a pure black whirlpool appeared.

"Styx!"

I saw a "whine" wind sound, and the wide waves of earth turned into dust tornadoes like dust swept by a storm, and disappeared into the black whirlpool.

"Crack the Dead. Grunge! ”

The black dagger in Mao Qing's hand was raised, and a pure black dagger blade appeared, and then automatically met the attacking bone spurs.

"There's a lot of means." Mao Qing pursed her lips and shook her body.

Two black shadows separated from the body and turned into two blurred human figures.

"Phantom clone!"

The black blurred human form suddenly became clear in Mao Qing's low moan, turning into two figures that were exactly the same as Mao Qing. One left and one right turned into afterimages and rushed towards the rock thorn dragon lizard.

Ning Yuan and the others, who were watching this scene from a distance, were stunned.

Whether it was the black vortex that could absorb the earth waves, or the black dagger that automatically attacked the bone spurs, or these two black shadow clones that looked like living people, all of these were methods that Ning Yuan and the others had never seen before.

The Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard's method of making the bone spurs automatically attack was already amazing enough, but I didn't expect Mao Qing's methods to be even more shocking.

"Is this the means of the Ground Rank Imperial Envoy's Yuan Qi?" Ning Yuan muttered unconsciously, "I'm even more exaggerated than I thought. ”

Although it is also a ground level. Oh, Tan Xiong, who has now been suppressed back to the peak of the Silver Captain level by his household registration, is also watching the battle in the distance intently. I have to admit that he is not one or two points away from a real earth-level master. But as far as the means of the imperial envoy are concerned, they are already beyond the reach of the dust.

The other few who had not really seen the battle of the ground level masters were even more shocked and speechless. Only Iggy and the others were still refining the "first line of incense" selflessly, and they didn't notice the battle scene on the field that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"As I said, it's useless."

Seeing that the blind one-eyed rock thorn dragon lizard still kept casting the earth thorn and earth wave to attack the two clones, and the imperial envoy bone spur attacked the main body, Mao Qing's originally chuckling face became cold.

"Shift!"

Mao Qing let out a low snort, and two dark shadow doors suddenly floated in front of him. Then he stepped into the shadow door and disappeared.

At the same time, an identical shadow gate appeared on the back of the rock thorn dragon lizard, and Mao Qing's figure stepped out of the shadow gate and appeared on top of the rock thorn dragon lizard's head.

Seeing Mao Qing's disappearance, the only remaining blood-red pupils of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard shrank, and its tail swept towards its back without hesitation.

swept by when Mao Qing's figure first appeared.

However, Mao Qing, who stepped out of the shadow gate, was swept by the bone spur-covered tail of the rock thorn dragon lizard like a phantom, and his waist was cut off, but he still did not move. In an instant, it returned to its original state, and then the body was solidified in an instant.

At the same time as the figure condensed, the black dagger in his hand had been raised, and the black dagger blade suddenly extended into a three-foot-long blade, which was aimed at the skull of the rock thorn dragon lizard's completely defenseless head.

"Shadow Thorn!"

With Mao Qing's indifferent low shout, the black dagger that turned from a short blade to a long blade pierced straight into the top of the rock thorn dragon lizard's head, piercing through the skull and stabbing into the brain.

"Roar!"

With the terrible howl of death, the ground within a hundred meters of the body of the rock thorn dragon lizard, including the rock thorn dragon lizard itself, shook violently.

"Boom!" Thick rock spikes rose abruptly in the loud thud, and the ground completely collapsed.

A huge half-meter-thick rock thorn pierced through the body of the rock thorn dragon lizard and stabbed towards Mao Qing on its back.

At the same time, all the bone spurs that flew out were under the control of the residual thoughts of the rock thorn dragon lizard, like sharp swords shooting straight at Mao Qing from all directions.

"It's useless." Mao Qing shook his head indifferently, his body trembled slightly, and then disappeared like a phantom on the back of the dead Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard.

When it reappeared, it was already a hundred meters away from the body of the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard. Completely out of the range of the ultimate that the Rock Thorn Dragon Lizard finally intended to die with.
