Chapter 16: Crystallized Monitor Lizards

Suddenly, a whistling sound came, and a lizard with transparent flesh and blood crawled out, and through the same transparent skin Tang Ruiyi could even its constantly beating heart, which looked very terrifying.

The system prompted Tang Ruiyi that a powerful summon appeared, this giant lizard was at least an elite monster, the strange appearance and huge size made the militiamen commotion, almost frightened, Tang Ruiyi gritted his teeth, and loudly ordered them to concentrate on the attack, and he dragged his seriously injured body to bravely rush towards the crystallized lizard.

Before he had run a few steps, a unique fishy smell had emerged, and his azure eyes flashed in front of Tang Ruiyi's eyes, and this cunning beast took off its sluggish and confused disguise and appeared in front of him with agility.

The iron sword stabbed fiercely on the monitor lizard's body, and it didn't lose blood! In an instant, Tang Ruiyi understood that there was no hope of winning, and he had seen a lot of elite monsters, such as stubborn stones and wolf kings, all of which belonged to the kind of monsters with high attacks and high explosions, as long as he was willing to fight hard, he could fight for both sides, plus the extremely high equipment explosion rate, so he had always had a feeling of love and hate for elite monsters.

With the rudimentary detective techniques learned from Martin:

Crystallized Monitor Lizard (Elite) (Controlled): Level 8, a cunning and swift beast with extremely high physical resistance, but vulnerable to magical attacks. Attributes: Life???, Attack???, High Armor, Negative Magic Resistance. Skill: ???]

[Hint: Some monsters have magic resistance, and have extremely high resistance to energy damage such as fire, toxins, and lightning.] 】

Level 8, which is only 1 level worse than Swift, and 4 levels behind him, so the reconnaissance technique can only see the most basic introduction.

It seems that we can only contain it first, and wait for the blue gull and the swift girl to solve other enemies to come to support, although some militia may have to be sacrificed in the process, what is it compared to the annihilation of the whole army and the loss of some militia?

Because the armor of the crystallized monitor lizard was too hard, although Tang Ruiyi hit with his sword, he was completely ignored.

Tang Ruiyi dodged with all his strength while trying to attack. Finally found that only by hitting vital parts such as eyes, nostrils, and other vital parts could he cause a little damage to poor baba, and he was almost bitten in a hurry, with Tang Ruiyi's current blood volume, if the crystallized monitor lizard wanted to kill him, he didn't need other means at all, as long as he bit lightly, he could swallow a small prey like him into his stomach.

Tang Ruiyi put away the iron sword, saw the right time, and suddenly jumped onto the monitor lizard's back from the side, clasped the two slippery scales tightly with both hands, and the crystallized monitor lizard shook his body irritably, wanting to throw him off, but how could it be so easy to be shaken, Tang Ruiyi is a modern person who has experienced the baptism of crazy roller coasters and long-distance planes, no matter how vigorously it exercises, he will not panic, and his hands will not relax in the slightest.

However, although he was not thrown off by it for the time being, his health also lost a lot of blood with the earthquake, you must know that he was not satisfied with his original blood volume, and he couldn't last long if he continued like this.

By this time, the people had already assembled their ranks, and when they saw their king so desperate, they were so excited that they mustered up their iron swords and rushed forward.

The dense iron sword and the crystal collided, making a "clank, clang!" sound, and when the sword was withdrawn, everyone was surprised to find that there were only a few white marks left on the extremely hard crystal shell.

This kind of injury is not as good as Tang Ruiyi's cause.

His health couldn't last long, and the only Molotov cocktail that could deal massive damage couldn't be used in such a violent shake, which drove him into despair.

At this moment, he swept his eyes and actually saw Martin, the scout who had climbed onto the beam! Seeing Tang Ruiyi looking at him, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he made a slightly more waiting posture, and then a tragic and resolute look appeared on his face.

What is he going to do? Tang Ruiyi can be said to be deeply impressed by this scout who followed him at the earliest! He was greatly touched by his unremitting persistence in his beliefs and dreams.

What did his last smile mean? What did that tragic breath mean? Tang Ruiyi had an ominous premonition.

This made Tang Ruiyi's heart rise to his throat, and then he bit his lip hard, secretly scolding himself for being a fool, but the death of a little scout, when he played the game, he didn't know how many soldiers' lives he sacrificed in cold blood in exchange for victory, could it be that just because he had fought side by side a few times, he regarded these inconspicuous soldiers as friends and relatives? Without thinking about that strange thing, Tang Ruiyi muttered hypnotically, while changing his posture, he grabbed the scales of the monitor lizard.

However, even this could not change the reality of his physical exhaustion, and he gritted his teeth and used the bandaging technique and the small recovery potion he got from the stubborn stone for the shortest time. The amount of health that had just recovered was shaken by a shake.

He thought about giving up several times in the middle of the journey, but when he thought that the crystallized monitor lizard was still energetic and vibrant, he ignited his fighting spirit again, how could a man be as good as a brute!

As he continued to persevere, the counterattack he received became stronger and stronger, and the amount of blood dropped more and more, and Tang Ruiyi's blood bar began to show a dying bright red! The long-term bump even caused him to suffer from hypoxia symptoms, and the picture of his parents calling him inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Did Martin run away alone? Did I guess wrong? However, is it still useful to regret it now? No! There is no turning back, and now you must trust your own command! Tang Ruiyi has no strength to think, and he uses the only strength he has left to maintain the precarious balance.

But just as he was about to lose consciousness, there was a shrill grinding sound, and then, it was dark!

A familiar thing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Tang Ruiyi thought for a while, and suddenly realized, isn't that the ceiling of the castle!

The crystallized monitor lizard let out an earth-shattering roar, and the echo that resounded throughout the hall made Tang Ruiyi almost faint.

The huge stone slab flew down with a huge amount of kinetic energy, and unfortunately it happened to hit the monitor lizard's tail, and the scale armor on its tail was smashed and splashed countless sparks, and in the blink of an eye, pieces of crystal scale armor were flipped open, revealing transparent flesh and blue blood.

Suddenly hit so hard, the crystallized monitor lizard turned from fury to fear, and it writhed its huge body violently to dodge the boulder falling from the sky!

In such a desperate situation, Tang Ruiyi suddenly came to his senses, it was Martin! He succeeded, he actually sneaked behind the enemy line and manipulated the huge siege machine to destroy the pillars of the ceiling of the hall, and the material of the castle was all granite weighing thousands of pounds! Once Martin fell from such a high place, he would be bound to die if he rubbed his muscles and bones, and he would definitely die next to him!

Martin actually used this trick in order to defeat this monster, which made him extremely touched and deeply worried!

Tang Ruiyi hugged the monitor lizard's body tightly while shouting, "Martin, where are you?"

The crystallized monitor lizard was already on the verge of madness, and if it hadn't been for the taming of beasts and the inability to get too far from the caster, I am afraid that it would have run out of the castle and disappeared. The two commands "escape" and "stay" constantly collided in its underdeveloped brain, causing it to begin to glow with light all over its body.

The sound of the boulder falling to the ground shook the chest, and the entire castle was thrown into a dizzying tremor, and the dust in the sky trembled with the steps of the monitor lizard.

Seeing that the entire hall was about to collapse, Tang Ruiyi on the back of the monitor lizard yelled in a hoarse voice: "Martin, you run away, leave me alone, I order you to retreat in the name of the king!"

In fact, Tang Ruiyi didn't know what he was talking about at this moment, the primary Holy Grail Technique could save his life? Maybe, but the odds were too small. Is it worth risking one's life just for a unit that can be recruited at any time? Isn't it a natural thing to sacrifice low-end soldiers to fight monsters and save money?

Even the scenes of the movies that had been arranged to make him tear-jerking didn't touch him much, so why did he feel so sad and sad at the moment? Why?

Inexplicable sadness brewed in his heart, and during college, he relied on this small game on his mobile phone every day to pass the time, and unconsciously, his attitude towards this game has gone from barely playing at the beginning to being deeply attracted.

For him, this is not just a virtual software, but also contains a kind of love for life, for exploring the unknown, maybe that's why he crossed, no matter what, he didn't want Martin to die.

The crystallized monitor lizard has gone completely crazy, and it no longer cares about the ants on its back, and it is rampage through the halls!

Martin, who had been ready for a long time, appeared silently on the three-meter-high beam, and jumped on the monitor lizard's back with a leap of opportunity. In Tang Ruiyi's surprised expression, he pushed him down.

Tang Ruiyi was stunned, he opened his mouth and finally said, "You...... Want...... What to do?"

Martin suddenly turned around and raised his iron sword, and in the background of the earth-destroying apocalypse, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames in the dust on his face: "The value of sacrifice is more valuable than life, that is, loyalty and reputation!

Tang Ruiyi looked at his face blankly, although he couldn't see the expression clearly, although there was no tragic music and singing and crying tunes, but he felt that this scene was extremely sacred. But the next moment, the terrifying shockwave made him feel his whole body being torn apart, and he subconsciously rolled and picked up a small wooden shield.

With a bang, the huge air pressure did not make him hit the wall, but crossed the distance of ten meters and smashed into the sand for training, what a terrible impact to cause such a terrifying air pressure!

The health was only bloody, and the new wooden shield was turned into pieces again, and Tang Ruiyi, who was dazed, looked back and saw Martin's body being buried by the boulder along with the crystallized lizard.

"No !!"

At this moment, Tang Ruiyi's mind suddenly went blank, his eyes were red, his whole body trembled violently, he was half-squatting on the ground, he felt that he couldn't be used to calming down, tears flowed uncontrollably, the man didn't flick when he had tears, but before he was sad, the words of the once young and immature echoed in his mind over and over again:

...... Recruit Martin came to report, see His Majesty Guoan......

...... I was a farmer before I joined the army.......

...... But we have found the king, and with your leadership, I believe that one day we will be able to fill the glory ......

...... May your mercy shine on all things......

A fresh life died for himself, Tang Ruiyi was grief-stricken in his heart, ashamed of his weakness, and sad for the sacrifice of the "hero", in his opinion, Martin is great for any hero.

Watching the big stones about to be broken to a thousand holes, suddenly, his ears moved, and he heard a sparse sound from the ground, as if something was still alive, and a hideous head stained with blood came out of the stone pile.

This crystallized monitor lizard is actually not dead, and the extremely hard shell is hanging outside like a rotten walnut at the moment, and it seems that it is not far from death.

Its huge eyes showed a look of pleading and pleading, but Tang Ruiyi was unwavering, at this moment the original sadness had completely turned into anger, as soon as he thought of his Martin's death, this beast was still alive, Tang Ruiyi felt like his heart was about to explode!

"Die!" he sprinted frantically, turning his grief and anger into strength, concentrating all his strength on the iron sword in his hand, and even he himself didn't notice the faint white light on the blade,

Punching, Piercing Arrows, Scouting, Skinning, Horsemanship, Swordsmanship, Holy Grail......

He mobilized all the skills he knew, whether they were useful or not!

Gradually, an indescribable temperament emerged, and the spirit that seemed to have no meaning except for attacking seemed to tear the sky apart!

The floor under his feet began to groan, Tang Ruiyi's breath became more and more crazy, the defense of the hard-hit crystallized monitor lizard was not as good as before, and in the face of the thunderous blow, the despair in its eyes became more and more intense.

"Die, ah!!hh

"Poof!" The blade slid unhindered across the monitor lizard's skull, and the huge head rolled to the ground with a thud, and the blood that had lost its restraint spurted out three meters at once.

“-176!”

After swinging this sword, Tang Ruiyi felt as if some inspiration crossed his heart, and the inspiration was fleeting, but he clearly distinguished: "Strong attack!"

Suddenly, he felt his heart dance with the swing of the sword, and his heart echoed with a certain quality in the sword, and he saw countless swordsmen and sword saints throughout the ages who had achieved peerless fame under the hard training over and over again.

The system prompt sounded: [Due to your epiphany, your strong attack has been promoted to the third rank of the primary level, and the swordsmanship has been promoted to the third level of the primary level, and you have comprehended the self-created skill: sword gall and heart, and the current level is the first class of the primary level]

Is this the legendary epiphany? A brand-new skill sword guts and piano heart, it sounds very strong, Tang Ruiyi thought excitedly, but when he thought of Martin who died tragically, his mood was low again, it is said that people will go to heaven or hell after death, and a good person like Martin who died to save people will definitely enjoy glory and wealth in heaven, so Tang Ruiyi felt better in his heart.

With the death of the monitor lizard, a fierce white light rushed into the sky, and three dazzling lights flashed on his body in a row!

[You kill the crystallized monitor lizard, gain 1000 experience points and 150 gold, and due to the huge difference in strength between the two, you get an additional 300 diamonds]

[Level up to level 5, HP +50, ATK +5, Defense +1, Level up to 6, HP +60, ATK +6, DEF +1]

[Hint: Diamonds are the same currency as gold coins, and diamonds can be used to recruit hero units]

There were still a few shiny things scattered on the ground, Tang Ruiyi picked them up and took a look-

[Activated Crystal: A precious object, although this crystal shows signs of shattering, it still contains incredible magnificence! It is truly a miracle of biology and metallurgy, whether it is a dwarf in the depths of the mountains, a mysterious creature, or an old-fashioned mage who is obsessed with exploration and research, this thing is very interested]
