"What?!" Hearing the news, Pan Long simply wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

How could a group of big living people, with Milton Ferret in the middle, a clever and cunning fellow, be ambushed by a mere group of lizards?

No matter how smart a lizard is, it's just an animal after all—and it's just a reptile. How high is the intelligence of this animal? At least 90 out of 10 percent are instincts, and the remaining 1 percent is considered wisdom, and there is a question mark.

What do you say about the wisdom of the beast?

It's not racist, they're really stupid!

For example, the last time, it was clear that they were being cut one by one or even several in front of them, and they were simply unilaterally mowed, but these lizards didn't know that they were scared at all, and they were still rushing up in Hulala.

And later, the sun shone on their bodies, and the damage was so great, but they didn't know how to avoid it, so they gathered at the door of the mine in a daze.

If you want to say that there are thousands of such creatures, carry out the worm sea tactics, and rely on the numerical advantage to defeat the team of the Ferre family, Pan Long will not be too surprised - zombies can also crush the powerful world overlord army, supernatural power is so powerful, it is a little unreasonable, and there is nothing strange about it.

But it would be ridiculous that these lizards had set up an ambush and crushed the team of the Ferrette family!

"What the hell is going on?" he asked hurriedly, thinking for a moment, and then adding, "as you go." ”

On the way out of the city in a carriage, Joseph gave him a detailed account of the situation.

This morning, thirty or forty members of the Ferret family, each with a mirror in hand, went to the valley in a mighty way, wanting to get rid of more lizards as soon as possible.

They had determined that there was indeed silver in the depths of the cave, and that it was an extremely rare form of natural silver, which could be used without even additional processing.

For the sake of this wealth, they can't wait to kill the lizards that stand in their way to riches.

For these people who are mixed with the rivers and lakes, blocking their way to wealth is really like killing their parents!

Joseph was also in the team at the time—it was agreed in advance, and the family would always have to be involved in the exploration and mining of the mines. In this way, they are qualified to share a little profit in the end, and they can also ensure that the Ferrette family does not play tricks such as stealing beams and changing pillars.

The group came to the valley, the sun had already risen, and the sun was shining.

But the sun in the morning is skewed after all, and after entering the valley, the cliffs and trees block the sunlight, and there are large areas of shadow.

Of course, the people of the Ferry family didn't care about this, but they were only halfway there, and before they reached the cave, they heard a strange roar.

With this roar, the earth in all the shadows suddenly tumbled like boiling water. Countless lizards emerged from the dirt and attacked them wildly.

These lizards are smaller than the ones they had killed before, but they move extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, five or six people were bitten on the joints by them, and they couldn't stand and fell to the ground, and then countless lizards swarmed up, screaming so loudly that even the dead were scared to jump.

At the last moment, Donner opened his awakening, and a long sword swung like the wind, forcing a bloody path among countless lizards, protecting Milton and a few others to rush out and kill.

At the same time, Joseph and others, who were not attacked by the lizards because they were walking behind, also used mirrors to desperately reflect the light, killing the lizards who were afraid of light and clearing the way for them.

The two sides worked together, and finally rescued six people. Together with the four who lagged behind, less than a third of the team of more than thirty people was left in the end.

They retreated to the hillside and looked at the countless lizards in the valley beneath them, terrified.

"Then, we were sent to ask you for help. ”

Pan Long nodded, indicating that he knew.

He finally understood why the Ferret family would suffer such a big loss - who would have thought that a mere group of lizards would actually play the tactic of "burying the ground and exploding poison explosion"?

And he also noticed one thing - before these lizards launched a surprise attack, there was a strange voice commanding.

The guy who made that voice is afraid that his intelligence is not low!

These lizards are nothing more than a large number of lizards, they can burrow into the ground, as long as they know in advance, there is nothing to fear. But the commander who was able to come up with this ambush tactic should not be underestimated.

Able to send a large number of lizards and risk being killed by the sun to play ambushes, this commander not only has considerable intelligence, but also has a very high control over the lizards.

Otherwise, he would never have allowed these lizards to perform a suicidal attack comparable to a kamikaze raid.

The most important thing to worry about on this trip is this guy hiding in the shadows!

The carriage went very fast, and after more than half an hour, it reached the vicinity of the valley.

In a high camp, the atmosphere was miserable at the moment.

There were thirty or forty people when the Ferres family came, and now there are only eight left. And even these eight people, the current situation is not good.

More than one was lying on the ground with red faces and whispering, while the rest were undressing and cooling them with cold water.

The cold water rubbed on their bodies, and after a while, it turned into steaming, although the weather was not cold, but the white gas rising from their bodies was as obvious as when they did intense exercise on a cold day.

On their bodies, the parts of their bodies that had been bitten by the lizards were already red and swollen, and although they had not festered for the time being, it was enough to see that the skin was swollen to almost transparent.

Except for those who were outside to pick them up, only Donner was the only one who rushed out with no wounds - he was wearing armor, and the lizards couldn't bite through the sturdy iron armor.

But now he was in a hurry like an ant on a hot pan, for Milton had also been bitten, and had been bitten several times, and was seriously wounded.

The cunning little man was now lying on a rock, crying out in pain. He was stripped naked, and the red and swollen wounds on his body a dozen times looked chilling.

Cold water was constantly applied to his body, but it would soon evaporate. Rao was like that, and his body temperature didn't seem to have been lowered much—just look at the white gas steaming from his body.

Pan Long got out of the car, and without saying a word, he directly used an "antidote" for Milton.

The green light fell on him, and he screamed, and blood suddenly spurted from the wound.

The blood was shiny red, and when it fell to the ground, it made a corrosive sound of strong acid encountering rocks. In the blink of an eye, all the plants and trees splashed with blood withered.

But as the blood spurted out, the temperature on Milton's body began to subside rapidly, and the red and swollen wound quickly subsided.

Anyone can see that he is saved.

Pan Long did not stop, and hurriedly cast spells on several other people to detoxify them separately.

His "Antidote" is not a high-end spell, but a D-level skill of the Brave Profession's Divine Department. But as the saying goes, there is no distinction between high and low skills, and those that can be used are good skills. Now this skill comes in handy, and it works wonders!

Seeing the wounded swelling one by one, their body temperature dropping, and no longer screaming pain, the members of the Ferry family finally smiled.

Donner came over to thank Pan Long, and then discussed what to do with the lizards.

"If you want me to say, it's better to give up. Pan Long persuaded, "God knows how many lizards there are, how do you fight them?"

"No!" said Donner, very firmly, "after this battle, not to mention the loss of troops, the fluctuation of people's hearts is especially worrying. The hearts of the people are united, the mountains can be moved, and the hearts of the people are scattered, like the mustard. If you can't destroy these lizards, the hearts of the Ferre family will be scattered!"

Pan Long understood what he meant, sighed, and did not persuade again.

After a while, Milton was able to sit up and speak, and he thanked Pan Long before asking his brother to send someone to collect what could be used to light a fire.

"Aren't these lizards able to burrow into the ground, let's set fire!" he said viciously, "set fire to this valley and burn this valley to a white ground, and without trees to shade it, I will see how they can ambush them!"

It will take a while, and the valley is not small, and it is only autumn now, so it is not easy to gather enough fuel to set the whole valley on fire!

Donner asked his men to help him put on his armor, and said that he would go into the valley again to collect the corpses of his men.

"I brought them here, and I will bring them back as well. He said, "Even if I can't bring it back completely, I have to bring some bodies back!

This time, he didn't drag the text.

Pan Long followed him into the valley, and after walking a short distance, he saw countless lizards hiding in the shadows, looking at them coldly.

Donner lowered the visor of his helmet and clenched his sword in both hands.

"Come on, dog!" he said to himself, "come on! see how many I can kill!"

Pan Long had already taken the lead and rushed over.

His halberd swung like a whirlwind, and everywhere the whirlwind went, countless lizards were shattered, and not even a single one could leave a whole corpse.

Although Pan Long didn't know much about this strange creature, he was subconsciously hostile.

Afraid of the sun's things, there are also in the Kyushu world, basically all demons and monsters, when you encounter one and kill one, there may be unjust, false and wrongful cases, but when you encounter ten kills and nine of them, there will definitely be bad things that should be killed and become fish that slip through the net.

Not to mention that the lizards attacked them before they saw them, and even pursued them after they retreated - it didn't look like a good person.

Of course, he hadn't used his full strength yet, just wielding his halberd with ordinary strength. But when he wielded his halberd, the sharp wind brought by the blade alone was already lethal enough.

Often a halberd is swung out, let alone hit head-on, even if it is a lizard that is still five or six steps away from the halberd, it will be cut through the body by the sharp wind, as if it was cut or even cut off by a quick knife, and the corpse will be on the spot.

Only one halberd swept away, and many lizards died. Even when he rushed into the middle of the large group of lizards, he could kill a dozen or even dozens of them with a wave of his halberd.

That is, in three or five minutes, the large group of lizards that were originally vast and dense like a carpet had been killed by him, and nearly half of them had been killed.

The path he walked was red, green, and black, and the blood of the lizard turned the dirt into a swamp.

Seeing that it wouldn't be long before he could kill all the lizards, there was a strange scream, and all the lizards suddenly ran in the direction of the cave.

From the shadows to the caves, it is natural to pass through the sunlit areas. These lizards were exposed to the sun, and their bodies were covered with countless rednesses and swellings, but with their large numbers and quick movements, about two or three percent of them still escaped into the cave against the sun.

There was silence in the vast valley, and there were countless dead lizards except for the corpses that were already white and bones.

Donner dragged out the mangled corpses of his men, identified them one by one, and lit a fire to cremate them.

Cremation has been widely used by the people of the Kingdom of America since the outbreak of the Calamity. Only by completely burning the corpse to ashes can they rest assured that they can avoid the dead from turning into monsters.

As for the carcasses of the lizards, no one wants to deal with them.

As the sun reached its zenith, it set straight down, and the corpses of many lizards were quickly decomposed, turning into bones, and finally even ashes.

"Could this thing also be a 'calamity'?" Pan Long asked, looking at this scene from afar.

Milton shook his head: "No, the biggest danger of 'calamity' is that it can be contagious. As long as the body of the person killed by them is not cremated, it will not be long before it will dry up and shrink and become a jumping corpse. However, the people who were killed in our team before, although the corpses were a little mutilated, did not show any signs of jumping corpses. ”

"Could it be some other kind of 'calamity'?"

Milton frowned, embarrassed.

"I haven't studied the Calamity...... Well, let's ask a few experts. ”

He asked a member of the family to set off to ask for someone, and after about an hour, a sturdy middle-aged man came in a carriage.

"He was an assistant to Kevin I, the great explorer Bell. Milton said, "In all of the town of Holy Salt, with the exception of a few scholars who never left the town, he has the most research on the 'calamity.' ”

Kevin I smiled and said, "I have been retired for almost ten years because I was injured during the expedition. Over the years, I have nothing to do, except for teaching children and teaching adventure knowledge, I am sorting out materials and doing some research on 'calamity'. Of course, I can't compare with those scholars, so I can only do some preliminary research. ”

Pan Long and Donner accompanied him into the valley, where they found several barely intact lizard carcasses in the shade of a tree that had never been exposed to direct sunlight.

Kevin carefully put on his full hazmat suit before fiddling with the corpses with his gloved hands. He watched it carefully for a while, then cut open a corpse with a sharp knife, and finally took out some salt and sprinkled it on it.

The salted corpse remained the same, unchanged.

But his face became gloomy.

"It's supposed to be a calamity, yes. Back at the camp, he said worriedly, "but for some reason, salt doesn't work against them." ”
