(Thanks to Tan Zhongshi, 08a, Green Mia, and the reward of the cold ice, as well as the evaluation votes of the cold ice...... )
"What? Got in trouble? ”
He was a little puzzled when Surin got the report from Hogg, but then he understood, because these guys had actually found the nest of a group of petrified lizards!
The petrified lizard is a sixth-order creature, this creature is not many in the underground world, and they rarely wander around, generally have their own fixed range of activities, petrified lizards generally do not leave their nest near their nest except for hunting, but this does not mean that the petrified lizard is a safe creature.
In fact, petrified lizards are an extremely dangerous unit in the entire underworld, they have a terrible natural ability - petrified gaze, this ability will turn the creatures they see into solid stone, of course, this ability is not invincible, when this ability is activated, they will make a judgment on the enemy's strength, if the enemy's strength is lower than them, they will be directly petrified, but if the enemy's strength is stronger than them, then this ability will be invalid.
"It's really a petrified lizard!"
On the road of Johannes, Surin found a series of caves in the northeast of the tribal area he had occupied before, and around the caves, he saw a lot of statues, kobolds, gnolls, goblins and even big goblins, canines and demons and other creatures, these statues were all lifelike, as if they were living creatures, of course, these guys were indeed alive before Sinopec stared.
"This guy's abilities are exactly the same as Medusa's, it's a bit of a problem."
When a huge brown-yellow figure slowly came out of the cave, Su Lin also got the information of these petrified lizards, and it was really not easy for him to deal with these petrified lizards now.
"Petrified Lizard: Underground World 6th Order Demonic Beasts, this creature has a huge body and amazing defense, although they have 8 legs, they are still quite lazy, these guys rarely chase enemies from a distance, their eyes will shoot a dark green petrified gaze to turn the target into stones, these guys are not very picky about food, they will even eat petrified prey, this will not affect their appetite
Abilities: Advanced Petrified Skin, Petrified Gaze, Camouflage. Souls can be obtained: powerful souls. ”
Petrified lizards, this is an extremely tricky enemy for Surin, because these guys belong to quite thick-skinned units, their appearance is similar to the Komodo dragon that Surin saw on Earth, but the body is much larger, there is a row of messy spikes on the back that extend from the head to the tail, and the whole body is covered in brownish-yellow skin, although it is said to have 8 legs, but as the information says, this guy seems to be a very lazy unit, and is not very willing to move.
"Below these guys' lair is a branch of a dark crystal vein, these petrified lizards have also come to hunt near the pit before, and there is no way to deal with these guys by relying on the gnoll forces alone."
Speaking of which, Johannes also has a headache, petrified lizards are not a kind of diligent hunting creatures, but they will occasionally wander to the side of the pit to hunt, this is the trouble that Johannes said, the troops placed here by Surin can't solve this annoying and dangerous creature at all, so Johannes found Surin directly.
"It's really a good choice to clean up, or if you can catch these guys."
After observing, Su Lin came to a conclusion that was not very good, although his side said that it was a little far from this nest, but he also knew that if he continued to dig, it would be easy to dig this side, and if it really happened, his side would definitely have to confront these guys head-on.
The number of petrified lizards in this group is about 7, this is the result of Johannes after many observations and lure, because these guys' nests are here, so they can't lure them away at all, this is also a problem, as long as the petrified lizards don't go, the troops here will not be safe, the best way is to deal with these guys, or grab them.
The petrified lizard is a creature with a low IQ, many times, if these guys can be tamed, it is also a very good choice, speaking of which, if the petrified lizard can be used to guard, it is definitely a very strong storage zài, and the creatures in this area have nothing to compete with, which is also the reason why Su Lin's side has not chosen to attack in order to lie, because he thinks that these guys can actually communicate.
The petrified lizard let out a low roar to communicate, but for Surin, there was actually a way to communicate, but before that, they had to arrest these guys first, otherwise these guys wouldn't be honest and cooperative.
"Gather the ballista!"
After some investigation of this area, Surin also chose a very direct means, ballistas, and now there are 10 in the dark elf town, which are used to defend against enemy attacks, and now they have been directly dismantled by Surin and began to be used to deal with these petrified lizards.
This is also a matter of no choice, because petrified lizards have the ability of high-level petrified skins, so the archery troops on Surin's side, except for the evil eye, can hardly cause damage to them, which has been confirmed by Johannes, the previous kobold hunters have shot at these guys, but all the arrows are directly bounced away, the skins of these guys have the bonus effect of high-level petrified skins, and ordinary arrows can't cause damage at all, secret agents, kobold hunters or something, When facing petrified lizards, it's all soy sauce.
"Click!" "Click!"
The 10 ballistas were being loaded on wheels and began to head to the area where the petrified lizards were, the minotaur walked at the front of the group with heavy steps, they were supposed to bear the effect of a meat shield, and these guys all wore a special helmet on their heads, which was improvised by Surin to make the Greybeard* Brute Hammer zuò, which sometimes completely blocked their vision.
The ability to petrify gaze has weaknesses, and like the mythical Medusa, the petrified lizard's petrification ability only works when the enemy is watching them, and when the minotaur's helmet blocks their glasses, the petrified lizard's most dangerous ability is self-defeating.
Of course, the attack of petrified lizards is not only petrified staring, as a sixth-order creature, their own strength is also extremely amazing, these guys can bite their prey through guò to cause high damage to it, Johannes saw a heavily armed gnoll being directly bitten in two by a petrified lizard, the bite force of this creature can be described as terrifying.
"It's ahead, all personnel, get ready!"
When the cave of the petrified lizard appeared in the field of vision of Su Lin and others, the minotaur also directly lifted the heavy hammer dragged on the ground, and with Su Lin's order, the minotaur swung the heavy hammer with white gas, and the next moment, it smashed towards the cave of the petrified lizard!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The smoke and dust that rushed to the sky instantly swallowed this area, and the fierce smashing of 5 iron hammers immediately smashed the cave of the petrified lizard directly, this place is a special limestone area, once it is violently impacted, it will break, and Su Lin's attack is also equivalent to declaring war on all the petrified lizards.
"Whew!"
The beast's neighing came from the smoke and dust, and the next moment, several huge black shadows rushed out of the smoke and dust, and began to rush towards the minotaur with heavy steps, and when the minotaur threw out the weapon in his hand, the helmet on their heads had been turned into a fully enclosed type by the harpy, and all the minotaurs stopped moving, but began to obey Surin's orders.
"All the minotaurs, smash them hard against the ground in front of you!"
The minotaur with the closed helmet completely became blind, but now Surin took on the task of their eyes, at the same time as Surin's order was issued, all the minotaurs raised their arms and smashed down to the front of the body, a scream kept coming, and all the petrified lizards that rushed over were smashed down by the minotaur's iron fist before they had time to take a bite!
"Hmph, I want to see how thick your skin really is!"
Surin not far away is quite satisfied with this result, itself was just a plan of his, turning the minotaur into a blind man, commanded by him, so that it can easily avoid the petrified lizard's petrified gaze ability, now it seems that this tactic is still very successful, in the first wave of attacks, the minotaur successfully angered all the petrified lizards, this creature has a strong sense of territory, this direct demolition of the house makes them quite angry, and when this group of creatures directly rushed towards the minotaur, Surin knew that his tactics had succeeded.
All minotaurs have a special glove on their hands, the gloves are made of the skin of the underground snake lizard, and the top is covered with spikes forged by cold iron and arcane fine iron, when all the minotaurs smash down at the same time, the powerful force directly smashes the spikes into the skin of the petrified lizard, even if the petrified lizard has a high-level body protection stone skin, under the bonus of this terrifying power, it does not block the attack of the spikes.
"Ballista! Adjust the angle and shoot! ”
This batch of petrified lizards has all been pressed to the ground by the minotaur, losing the ability to move in a short time, and on the other side, the ballista has been constantly adjusting the angle from the beginning of the battle, a large number of kobold hunters and jackals have become the operators of the ballista, when the petrified lizard is pressed to the ground, these ballistas have also locked these guys, with Su Lin's order, there are crossbow arrows with the thickness of an adult's arm shot directly from the ballista, instantly piercing the petrified lizard!
