In the Giant Tree Forest, the maned lizardbeast pounced on the gibbon tree, its sharp teeth biting off its cervical vertebrae, and then opened its bloody jaws and swallowed it whole.

The maned lizardbeast has two stomach pouches, the primary pouch for digestion and storage of food, and the secondary pouch for temporary storage of items.

After swallowing a whole gibbon tree, his belly suddenly swelled like a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant, and then it ignored the three Roys on the side, writhing on all fours and swaying away.

After eating, the maned lizardbeasts become much less aggressive, and they return to their nests to hibernate until the food in their stomachs is digested, before going out to forage again.

"Do you want to do it?" Harvey glanced at Roy.

“…… No. ”

Roy looked at the departing back of the maned lizardbeast and muttered, "Don't be in a hurry to startle the snake, let's follow it to the lair to have a look." ”

The maned lizardmen's nests are built in burrows near streams, which are moist and shady, making them ideal habitats.

The maned lizardbeast burrowed into the burrow, and soon there was no movement inside.

"You help me get the wind outside, and I'll go in and investigate."

Roy commanded, and then went into a stealth state, tiptoeing into the cave.

The cavern was damp, the soft earth was covered with moss, and Roy walked slowly deeper into the cavern without making a sound.

As expected, after preying on the gibbon apes, the maned lizardbeast returned to its lair and went into hibernation on its side, completely unaware of the anomalies in the burrow.

Roy bypassed its bloated body and found the maned lizardbeast's "collectible" in the deepest part of the cavern.

Glass bottles, glowing ores, rusty iron equipment...... These are the garbage it swallows in the forest on a daily basis, and spits it out when it returns to its nest.

Over time, these "collections" became a small mountain.

Roy rummaged through the garbage mountain for a while, but couldn't find the client's matching sword, perhaps the maned lizardbeast wasn't the one that attacked the client before.

"Didn't it go so well......

Roy was about to leave when suddenly there was a faint hissing from outside the cave.

To humans, the hiss was very mild, but the maned lizardbeast, which was sleeping on the side, shuddered, and raised its head abruptly.

Then, it hissed the same and hurried outside.

Roy followed it out of the cave and came to Arya and Harvey's side to disengage and ask, "What's going on?" ”

Harvey pointed in a direction not far away, "It seems that there are people fighting the maned lizardbeasts over there, and they are calling for their companions." ”

"Maybe it's Qin Xiang, they've been besieged by the maned lizardbeast." Arya asked, "Are we going to help?" ”

Roy shook his head and muttered: "With their strength, there is no problem if they want to retreat with their whole body, if we rush over to the rescue, they may not appreciate it."

"Most of the maned lizardbeasts in the vicinity are attracted to them now, and the various nests are empty, so we can take advantage of this time to search for the whereabouts of the sword."

Most of the maned lizardmen's nests are located near this stream, and along the stream, Roy followed the vine to the inside of each nest to search.

Most of the inside of the lair was the same as the one I had previously inspected, and it was mostly a mountain of rubbish made of glass bottles and rusty and tattered equipment.

The only thing I gained was to pick up a fist-sized cyan spiritual power crystal, although it was the lowest level spiritual power crystal, but it was a pity to lose it, so I had to reluctantly take it away.

After searching several nests to no avail, Roy couldn't help but wonder if the missing matching sword had really been snatched by the maned lizardbeast.

It had been a while, and he didn't know when the maned lizardbeasts would return, so Roy quickened his pace and continued to the next cave.

The situation in this cave is different, and the maned lizardmons inside do not respond to the cries from outside to support their kind, but stay dormant in the cave.

It had a number of scars on its body, which were very new, some of them had not yet healed, as if it had been in a vicious battle recently.

Roy walked around the maned lizardbeast that had been recuperating at home, looked behind it, and found the commissioned sword in the pile of garbage.

The diamond-shaped red gem on the sword grid with the sword is very conspicuous, and although there are some stains on the sword, it can be seen that the whole is still intact and there is no obvious damage.

It seems to be the client who attacked the maned lizardbeast, and its injuries may have been sustained at the time.

Roy walked over and gently picked up the sword, not alerting it.

Although with his strength, he could naturally break into the cave and kill the injured lizardbeast, and then swagger away.

But the sense of accomplishment of diving into success is not the same as Kai Wushuang, as a Moon Shadow, you occasionally have to do things that match your identity.

The commissioned items were in hand, and Roy was about to leave the cave when the roar of the maned lizardbeast was heard outside.

The roar was even more rapid and sharp than the last, and the maned lizardbeast in the cave shook its body, reluctantly opened its eyes, and stood up.

However, instead of immediately coming to its aid, it turned to look at the hill of garbage in the corner.

It seemed that the ruby sword had impressed it very deeply, and after seeing the sword disappear, the maned lizard beast was visibly stunned for a moment, and then let out an angry hiss.

"Bah-"

It was agitated, and its meter-long tail swept across the nest, making it impossible for Roy to avoid such a small space.

"What a nuisance!"

Roy emerged from the stealth and leaped high to dodge the sweep, his left hand turning into a psychic fist blade and stabbing at the head of the maned lizardmon.

The maned lizardbeast tilted its head, and the blessed blade of spiritual power cut a deep wound on its head.

At the same time, it fought back, swinging its front paws at Roy with a cracking sound.

Unable to dodge in the air at this point, Roy was ready to take the blow hard, and the next moment, a sharp piercing arrow shot from the entrance of the cave.

Hearing a noise from inside the cavern, Arya and Harvey rushed to their aid, and the piercing arrow struck the maned lizardmon's neck with precision, interrupting its attack.

Arya's charge followed, and with a soft thud, the divine armor covered in her body shone with golden light, crashing into the split-maned lizard like a meteor, knocking it directly to the ground.

The maned lizardbeast had already been wounded, and now it was attacked by Harvey and Arya, and before it could put up any effective resistance, it was killed by the three of Roy.

"It's a pity...... If you don't pay attention to this sword, you can still save a life. ”

Roy shrugged, then raised his ruby sword and said, "The commissioned item is in hand, we can withdraw it." ”

The three of them left the cave, and the cries of the maned lizardbeasts in the woods were still repeated.

Gu chagrin

Roy looked up in the direction where the roar came from and frowned, "There's a fire over there." ”

Not far from here, fire and smoke are rising in the trees, which is especially striking at this time of day.

He remembered that there was a caller named Kalian in Qin Xiang's team, and it seemed that it was indeed Qin Xiang's team that was fighting against the maned lizard** over there, and their battle situation did not seem to be easy.

Contrary to the stereotype that "Flame Summoning only arson", Flame Summoning, which can manipulate flames, can both start and extinguish fires.

As the leader of the Flame Calling Class, Kalian believes that with her strength and common sense, she should know that in an environment like the forest, she should not wantonly set fires, and spread the fire prevention to the point that it is uncontrollable.

And now that the fire over there is getting bigger and bigger, does this mean that the battle situation over there has become so urgent that she can't stay and be distracted to control the spread of the fire?

"Let's go over there and have a look." Roy's expression became serious, and the three of them hurried in that direction.

……

At this time, a hundred meters away from here, Qin Xiang's team had completely fallen into the encirclement of several maned lizard beasts.

Three sword rays of light landed on the neck of the scarred lizardbeast at the same time, and the edge of the Ten Broken Sword sliced through its thick mane and hard scales, giving the scarred mane lizardbeast the final blow.

Qin Xiang stood with his sword in his hand, watching the demonic beast in front of him fall powerlessly, splashing up a cloud of dust.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another maned lizardbeast pounced.

At the critical moment, Gaia raised his arm shield to block his side in time, and continuously urged the guardian knight's skill-

Tier 1 Skill: Condense Earth Elemental Shaping Guardian Armor, especially to protect against physical attacks.

Second-order skills: Unfold the Xuanwu Circle to strengthen the shield defense, and can bounce off melee attacks.

Tier 3 Skill: When standing on the ground, the body connects to the earth, enhancing one's physical fitness and reducing the damage taken.

The Guardian Knight is a defense-focused inheritance, and with the blessing of various skills, even the third-order Guardian Knight can resist the physical attack of the fourth-order demonic beast head-on.

The maned lizardbeast slammed into the shield and bounced itself away, letting out a roar that continued to pounce and gnaw at Gaia.

The pressure from the shield was heavy one after another, and Gaia felt as if she was fighting against a small mountain, her bones were creaking, her arms were gradually numb as if she was about to lose consciousness, and she shouted: "Anna! ”

"I'm here!"

Anna on the side held the spiritual power crystal in her left hand, and pointed the staff at Gaia with her right hand, urging it forcefully.

As Gaia's body warmed up, the healing technique eased his injuries and pain, and Karen behind him fired fireballs again, and the blazing heat forced the maned lizard to retreat.

On the surface, it seems that this team's cooperation is excellent, and they can still make an orderly response in the face of a demonic beast that is one order higher, but Gaia's expression is still solemn.

Yes, their team not only resists the attacks of the Splitmane Lizardmon, but also has enough strength to kill it.

But then what? There was more than one in their way.

The battle had been going on for a while, and Anna and Karen were running out of spiritual power, as well as his physical strength.

Even Qin Xiang, the most powerful in the team, had to slow down the frequency of his attacks at this time, and his violently undulating chest showed that his situation was not as easy as his calm expression.

"I think we should retreat for the time being, Qin Xiang."

Taking advantage of the gap between the Split-Maned Lizard Beast being forced back by the flames, Gaia retreated to Qin Xiang's side, took a breath and said quickly, "There are too many demonic beasts around here, it's not realistic to wipe them all out at once, let's go back and make some preparations first."

"According to my estimate, if you clear it in batches about three or four times, you can completely empty the demonic beasts in this area, which is also the safest method.

"Hurry up and make a decision, if it's too late, you may not be able to leave!"

Qin Xiang looked around with his sword, and there were several corpses of maned lizardbeasts lying on the ground, but there were more of them standing.

His brown pupils reflected the dancing fireworks, and he hesitated slightly.

Gaia's suggestion is actually very pertinent, even if he still has the strength to fight, but his three teammates are all one level lower than him, and they are already a little unsupportable at this time.

This is not to say that they are useless, after all, their opponent is a fourth-order demonic beast.

It's better to say that they can kill Warcraft across the ranks through each other's cooperation, and their performance is already excellent.

But if you have to clear the demonic beasts in this area three or four times, it will be too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and in the process, it is difficult to guarantee that no other team will take the lead.

Roy's figure appeared in his mind, and Qin Xiang gritted his teeth.

Limited to the combination of the team lineup, their Sword Cultivator, Flame Summoner, Priest, and Guardian Knight teams are only suitable for attacking head-on attacks.

Roy, on the other hand, can use the characteristics of Moon Shadow to infiltrate and investigate, and if he is lucky, he can even find the entrusted item bloodlessly and complete the task.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was being targeted by the commission type.

As for Roy, Qin Xiang has actually hidden a trace of dissatisfaction with him in his heart.

is not only because of the importance that his sister Qin Liu attached to Roy's mystery before, but also because when he invited Roy to join the team, Roy actually rejected him.

Before that, he had never thought that someone would refuse his invitation, was it because the temple family's signboard was not loud enough or his talent was low?

If Roy turned to the more promising lawyer Arya, it wouldn't make sense, because when she rejected him, Arya hadn't become a lawyer......

"Qin Xiang! Captain! What the hell are you going to do! ”

Gaia's scream was close to his ears, and Qin Xiang came back to his senses from his trance.

The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and after a few seconds of hesitation, several maned lizardbeasts had already surrounded them again.

Under the enemy's back, the four of them gathered together, back to back to each other, guarding the siege of the maned lizardbeast.

"I'll take the lead and lead you to break out of the encirclement, and Karen will release the broken queen in the back." Qin Xiang commanded in a deep voice.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Karen's face turned pale, "Before retreating, I need to use the only remaining spiritual power to extinguish the flames that are still burning in this vicinity, if I use them, I will not be able to quell the fire that is still spreading in a short time." ”

As the squad leader of the Evoking Flame squad, she knows better than anyone that Evoking Flame must retain the spare strength to do a good job in the aftermath after the battle, especially in this forest environment.

The forest fires will not only change the ecology of the area, but will also trigger a riot of monsters, and the consequences of the chain reaction will be beyond their responsibility.

"Then let Gaia break the queen."

Qin Xiang clenched his long sword and walked forward, "Follow me, prepare to break through." ”
