Section 168 Torment
Looking at these walls built with local materials, combined with the rock-built camp, they are rough like a beast's den. Zhang Lan took the goblins to carefully explore the camp, and it was not until she found the corpses of two lizardmen on the periphery of the camp that she suddenly realized, because these two corpses were fatal by a single blow of a narrow weapon, and this kind of attack Zhang Lan was very familiar with, and the weapon that caused this wound was the short sword in Lu Sheng's hand.
"Sure enough, it's him" Zhang Lan sighed secretly in her heart, to lure away a whole camp of lizardmen, the danger Lu Sheng faced can be imagined. Thinking of this, Zhang Lan couldn't help but shout loudly, "Lord Lu Sheng has already lured away the lizardmen here for us, we must speed up our march and not live up to his efforts." With that, the four "meson space generators" behind them took the lead and ran out of the lizardmen's camp, heading down a narrow valley behind the camp towards the depths of the mountains, where they had completely entered the confines of the Broken Sea Mountains.
Zhang Lan didn't know what the goblin native language called them humans, but under the translation of the goblin Tongyan, he, Lu Sheng, and King Zhao were all called adults by the goblins, and the Wanzu Tongyan was directly translated from the spiritual level, indicating that the goblin clan's feelings towards their humans were like the respect of the earth's civilians for their leaders. To be honest, Zhang Lan didn't know how Lu Sheng and Zhao Wang felt when they heard the goblins call them like this, maybe in their eyes, these were all taken for granted, or they were just simply numb and didn't have any other ideas. Because when they were on earth, they were "adults" with a respected status.
And when the local elves called "Zhang Lan" as an adult for the first time, he was actually very "honestly afraid" for him, a person who had been an "otaku" for half his life, and he was very unsure whether he could afford the title of "adult", because in his impression, the adult was to manage the livelihood of the people, and he couldn't even manage himself well when he was on earth. Of course, the two Shuras, Zhuge and Zilong, called him "Lord Entropy", which seemed to him like a joke.
Therefore, he was able to undertake the task of searching for the Xuanwu carapace this time, most of it was for himself. The other small part is because he feels respected like never before. So he has been demanding himself with the standard of "adult" all the way, and every time he has a break, he secretly speculates about his performance and fills in the gaps, and corrects it in combination with the people and things he has seen in the past, and he thinks he has done a good job in the past 20 days.
And now, as he watched the five goblins take short legs to distract the lizardmen guards at the mouth of the valley, he began to wonder if he could take on the mission that he was given by the title of Adult.
Zhang Lan and the others zigzagged along the valley, and it was not until they walked all night that they saw the exit of the canyon in the faint morning light. And they didn't take any rest this night, Zhang Lan knew that the time they had left was getting more and more urgent, so he forced the goblins to hurry non-stop, regardless of the overspending goblins complaining, in his opinion, this is also a decision that an "adult" must make. And the fact that they didn't encounter any ferocious beasts along the way, the lizardmen have cleared the place, and they could be ready to show up at any time. So getting through this canyon as fast as possible was their only option.
But when they looked at the exit of the valley in the morning light. The joy of getting out of the valley turned to despair, for at the exit of the valley there was also a lizardman camp, which was just as ferocious and vicious as the camp at the entrance, and the only difference between it and the entrance camp was that the entrance camp was empty. But now it was bustling with activity, dozens of lizardmen were busy around the camp, and it was only after Zhang Lan observed from afar that she could see what they were doing.
They were cleaning up the corpses, the corpses of the lizardmen. The bodies of five lizardmen were cleared from around the camp by the other lizardmen, and all of them died from the attack of the narrow weapon, and two of them lost their heads. Obviously, these are Lu Sheng's handiwork, but he obviously did not achieve his goal. Because Zhang Lan saw human blood next to the wall of a camp where lizardmen gathered the most, although it was not much, it was enough to show that Lu Sheng had failed and was injured.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Zhang Lan was very sad on the one hand, worried about Lu Sheng, and on the other hand, he didn't know how to pass through this camp that killed the entire canyon. In this way, they hid in a crack in the mountain wall and peeped at the camp all day, but there was nothing they could do.
In the evening of the next day, when the sky was about to slide into the night, Zhang Lan, who had been hiding in the crack of the mountain wall and staring at the lizardman camp with bloodshot eyes, suddenly saw a black shadow appear behind the guard on duty at the camp gate, and as a sword light reflecting the last rays of the sunset flashed across the guard's neck, the guard silently turned into two, and the guard on the other side did not suddenly look back in the direction of his colleague until he heard the sound of the human head falling to the ground.
But a cold light had arrived in front of him, but it stopped in front of the lizardman's forehead, and a pair of equally cold eyes looked at him coldly, making him, a naturally cold-blooded creature, feel a chill. At this moment, the lizard remembered to send a warning signal, and a piercing scream echoed at the mouth of the canyon, and the entire lizardman camp was boiling after this scream, and immediately became noisy. A dark shadow scurried out of the cluttered camp and rushed to the camp gate.
It waited for the lizardman to scream before the shadow plunged the dagger that stopped in front of his forehead into his skull. Then he stood still and watched the lizardmen running towards him. Lizardmen can run faster than humans, and the distance of hundreds of meters is instantaneous. The lizardmen soldiers who rushed to the front pointed their iron spears at the black shadows, and the moment they made contact. A cold glow erupted in the air, and the spear-wielding lizardman and his iron spear turned into two. Then the cold glow erupted in the darkness of the night, and then two more lizardmen turned into several segments.
But there are too many lizardmen, and in less than a minute, there are more than a dozen lizardmen gathered at the door, and there are still lizardmen in the camp who are constantly concentrating towards the door. Faced with such a situation, the dark shadow finally moved. Instead of performing that one-hit kill, he began to fight the lizardmen with his ethereal form as he retreated.
Zhang Lan, who was peeping from a distance, knew why he was fighting in such a way that was obviously unfavorable to his body, because he wanted to attract as much attention as possible from the lizardmen and fight for Zhang Lan's side to get the opportunity to pass through the canyon exit.
That's right, he is Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng who disappeared for a few days. Zhang Lan saw that Lu Sheng's left leg had an extra bandage, he knew that it was the wound Lu Sheng had suffered in the previous battle here, this wound made his battle occasionally have a momentary delay, under the siege of more and more lizardmen, this lag appeared more and more frequently, after the number of lizardmen reached sixty, Lu Sheng finally reached the limit.
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he changed his fighting posture, suddenly inserted the short sword into the scabbard, and then lunged forward, like a thunderbolt in the night, illuminating the hideous figures of the lizardmen around him, and it was after this light that the three lizardmen in front of him shattered like broken porcelain. Then, Lu Sheng turned his head and glanced at the crack in the mountain where Zhang Lan and the others were hiding, and then jumped over the broken corpses of the lizardmen and ran towards the other end of the canyon.
Seeing those pursuing lizardmen disappear into the night, Zhang Lan knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so he hurriedly beckoned the goblins who had been woken up by him just now, and prepared to quickly pass through the lizardmen's camp, but just as they were about to drill out of the stone crack. More than twenty lizardmen suddenly came out in front of the camp gate, looking at those same kind who were chasing Lu Sheng and guarding the camp gate to the death.
