Chapter 112: The Yellow Lizardman
From here, the mountain peak on the back of the giant beast is towering into the clouds, but there are black clouds all around, and from time to time there are a few purple lightning bolts piercing through the clouds, and through the electric light, you can see that the mountain peak is billowing smoke and dust.
Youyoule asked Nie Xiaosheng, "What kind of place is there?" Why is it so dim? β
Nie Xiaosheng said: "It is said to be the heart of the Giant Spine Temple, I heard that there were many people there in the past, but few can come back." β
The empress passed by Nie Xiaosheng and said, "Do you also believe those nonsense?" It's ridiculous. β
Nie Xiaosheng said: "What I said is true, there are monster stewards and lizardmen in the Giant Spine Temple on the top of the mountain, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard the story of the hunter coming to the Giant Spine Temple before......"
Hearing that there was a story, everyone was interested, and Chu Jingxiang did not interrupt Nie Xiaosheng and asked him to continue...... There used to be such a group of merchants, they searched all the way up along the Ridge of Shaking to see if there were any precious plant medicinal materials, who would have thought that they had broken into the Temple of the Giant Spine by mistake, and there was no news of them for several days, and the big caravan had to organize more than a dozen shrewd and capable hunters to rescue them on the back of the giant beast, but for several days, none of these hunters came down, and the big caravan began to panic, everyone knew that there was something strange on the giant beast, and the legend was that Emperor Augustus was dying in order to protect his daughter, Left a mysterious force to protect her, and it is also said that the princess was very good to the iguana in the past, and it did not forget the benefits of the princess after it became a giant beast, and used its power to summon some monsters to protect the princess's temple, but the legend is a legend after all, and you have to see it with your own eyes, right?
Later, a few hunters with bruises ran down the mountain, and when the caravan found them in the wilderness, they were all delirious, according to them, they must have seen monsters such as necromancy and lizardmen, those hunters are excellent warriors of Akenosake, and those monsters must be unusual!
The empress said: "Having said so much, I didn't feel afraid, but became interested, the more powerful the monster guards, the more valuable the treasure, which is worth discovering." β
You Youle looked at the five black-clothed people with secret boxes on their backs, and saw the empress taking the lead in front, You Youle was still quite relieved, if he went alone, after listening to such a story, maybe he would give up after a few shivers, and he wouldn't continue to go up if he said anything.
Everyone walked all the way forward, and the middle of the female giant beast flicked its tail several times, all of which were safely spent by everyone, and after walking the shaking spine, they came to the back of the female giant beast, and the degree of shaking under their feet was very slight, but the extreme weather here made it a little difficult to adapt, and there was a large cloud of black smoke on the back of the female giant beast, and the thickest place of these black smoke was above the giant spine temple.
Nie Xiaosheng pointed to the top of the Black Smoky Mountain and said, "It's there, we have to work harder to move forward." β
The Empress asked, "I heard that from the Giant Spine Temple, you can reach the heart of the Giant Mother Beast, which is where the original ancient castle is located, is it true?" β
Nie Xiaosheng said: "I don't know if it's true, if you want an answer, you have to clean up the monsters outside the temple first." β
There are monsters in front of you, and the palms and backs of your hands are sweaty, and you are holding your heart and hanging your guts, and your heart says: These people are better than me, and when I encounter monsters, I can still hide, and I can escape a catastrophe.
Although Youyoule barely had a tie with the black-clothed man Nie Xiaosheng last time, but after careful calculation, Nie Xiaosheng had just fought with the six disciples last time, and he was naΓ―ve and very restrained in his ability, those terrifying lizardmen Youyoule had never seen it, let alone dealt with it.
The road ahead was much smoother, and a lot of grass and trees had taken root here, forming a thin grove, walking through this thin bush at your feet, there were several small pavilions and ruined corridors in front of you, which were recognizable from the remnants on the ground, these were empire-style buildings, and there was a small col in front of the ruins, and there seemed to be something in the col.
Everyone hid in the thin bushes and looked out, behind the col was the Giant Spine Temple, the front half of this temple was diagonally upward, and the second half was completely sunk into the earth, it should not have been built later, but the mother beast swallowed it and did not completely digest it, forming a remnant temple here.
Nie Xiaosheng hid in the bushes in front of him, looking forward as if he was waiting for something, and after a while, the grass was sparse, as if something had crawled over, and when he got closer, it turned out to be an amethyst skink.
Nie Xiaosheng just asked the amethyst skink to go over to see if there was any danger, the amethyst skink came out of the grass and climbed onto Nie Xiaosheng's arm, Nie Xiaosheng said softly: "Purple potato, is there any danger ahead?" β
Youyoule was also not far away, and when he heard Nie Xiaosheng muttering softly, he couldn't help but look at him, and said in his heart: It turns out that the amethyst skink is called purple potato, this thing can understand human nature, and it can also go to the front to detect danger.
Purple Potato raised his head and spit out the letter, shook his body, and looked uneasy, it was obvious that there was danger in the cols in front of him, Nie Xiaosheng nodded, touched the purple potato, and put it in his clothes.
Nie Xiaosheng turned to everyone and said, "Those cols in front of us are the lizardmen's lair, and if we want to go to the Giant Spine Temple, we have to find another way to get around them." β
The empress asked, "Are the lizardmen particularly difficult to deal with?" β
Nie Xiaosheng said: "Well, counting all of us, a rough estimate of our combat strength, it should still be possible to deal with the lizardmen, but it's hard to say what else is in the temple, so it is also very necessary to preserve your strength, even if you are the empress, you can't use endless strength, right?" β
This sentence is very reasonable, no matter how strong a person is, he will inevitably be defeated in the face of several rounds of enemies, not to mention in a place that he is not familiar with, recklessness is a taboo, and the empress also understands this very well.
Nie Xiaosheng said: "Look at those soil cols, some are big and some are small, the big ones should be the nest of the yellow-skinned lizardmen, and the small ones should be the nests of the green-toothed lizardmen, the yellow-skinned body is huge, the scales on the body are rough, and they are very resistant to beating, but their eyesight is not good, and they move slowly. β
After the plan was completed, everyone moved to the side of the Giant Spine Temple, always paying attention to their feet, and they were always concerned about the moment in front of them, for fear of making a little movement and waking up the yellow-skinned lizardmen in the lair, and Qingfang must have noticed it.
In the hut-like cols, the yellow-skinned lizardmen lay curled up in the depths of the crypt, deep asleep, their imprisoned guardians and cursed bloodthirsty killers.
