The green carapace is a medium-to-large crocodile-like lizard, but its body is encased in pieces of sturdy bone armor composed of a calcium-silicon complex that is extremely hard and resembles metallic bluestone, graying in its juvenile years and turning into pure green when it becomes an adult.

This lizard is usually mild-tempered and mainly feeds on grass, and it can obtain chlorophyll for photosynthesis by eating plants, so it can maintain a dormant life for a long time when there is no food.

The ecological niche of the green armored lizard is not very high, and there are few monster-level individuals, but they are medium to large creatures with an average weight of more than three hundred kilograms, and they can still burst out with extremely powerful power when they are angry - their tails with sturdy tail hammers are enough to smash the knight's armor if swung up.

In general, the green beetle lizard inhabits shallow river forests along the redwood forest and does not go too deep into the sea...... But occasionally these giant beasts will go into the sea to change their taste, eat some seaweed kelp, and get some fish protein to replenish their bodies.

There are so many heads in front of you, there is a high probability that when a group of green armored lizards gathered to fight in the wild to raise their bodies, they were involved in the South China Sea mutations, and they were swept into the cave together with the seawater.

Just like yourself.

Ian held his breath, the perception of the green armor lizard is actually quite acute, especially the sense of smell, which can be distinguished from a long distance, and then choose whether to avoid or stay in place.

However, Ian didn't have a body odor in the first place, not to mention that as a cultivator of the Sand Armor Apprentice, he could easily cover all of his external aura.

If he wields the power of the Wave Singer, he can even make himself actually exude the fresh smell of the 'sea'.

Of course, the Silent Ring can be used, too. But then there is no need, Ian sensed that this ring was overloaded by himself before, and used it to shroud the armor to sneak attack the great shaman, so now the inscription structure has been somewhat damaged, and it can be used less, so as not to be used at a critical moment.

After noticing that there were no other creatures around, the leader of this group of green-armored lizards, and the big lizard with the role of 'clan father', took the lead with a 'oh' and led the two female lizards and the three small lizards that were slightly smaller in a circle.

At this time, their pace seems to be a little hurried and impatient.

The long cave trek and sea immersion made them extremely thirsty...... Yes, it is true that the green carapace can absorb fresh water from seawater by penetrating its epidermis, but it is too inefficient to replenish it and can only be used as an emergency.

Soon, they were simpler than Ian's thinking, and they discovered the blue river flowing behind the stele faster than the boys.

It is said to be a small river, but if you look carefully, you can't see the depth clearly, the river water is not transparent due to minerals or other reasons, even if there is a dome of electric clouds, you can only see a blue and black color.

Regardless, it does seem to be fresh water, and the green-armored lizards approach the river vigilantly and drink water in turn.

Watching the green lizard drink the river water, even the throat pouch under the throat was full, Ian felt inexplicably relieved, and there was also a little worry in his heart: "The underground ruins have light and water, and it seems that the air circulation is quite good...... In other words, are there other biological ecology in the relics? ”

Thinking like this, he looked forward to it even more.

The boy didn't plan to disturb the group of green-armored lizards to drink, he even made up his mind to see where the group of green-armored lizards were going to go in the future, and then secretly left a little essentia to track down and help him explore the group of ruins.

According to his analysis, because of the two major storms, there is actually a gap between the ruins and the outside world - the crystallized dragon may have come out of that gap, and it may not be an alien thing, but the overlord of the ruins in the South China Sea.

It's just that Ian's plan may be a bit unsatisfactory.

Because after the lizards finished drinking, they stayed where they were.

At first, Ian wondered if the lizards were too tired, so after drinking the water and finding that there were no other creatures around, he swayed, rested, and lay down or something...... But if you think about it, wild animals shouldn't be so heartless?

The green carapace lizard is not a top predator, lying around the drinking ground to rest, really as if it has not been hunted, right?

But after waiting for a while, he realized that something was wrong.

Except for the constant waterfall of water flowing from the cave, the lizard colony beside the blue river was as silent as death.

Something is wrong - the green armor lizard is not mute, why doesn't it make a sound at all after drinking water?

Could it be ...... Toxic in water?

Squinting his eyes, Ian's eyes lit up with a watery aura of psionic energy and a silver chip light.

Then, with a sigh, he no longer hid his form, but stood up to face the strange silence of the green-armored lizards.

Click, click, click...... Sensing the presence of other creatures, the originally silent green-armored lizard slowly turned its head and looked behind it.

"Hah...... Phew......"

A strange howl sounded, echoing through the cavity, the voice was hoarse and short, not a normal blue-armored lizard sound, but like a short churning sound made by a cloth bag full of leaky air when it was rapidly agitated in the wind, hissing and terrifying, like a ghost.

But it didn't sound like something dead—for even the howls of the Wraith Banshee wouldn't be so excited and full of life'.

Ian confronted the lizards with a solemn expression and a hint of caution that could be called 'nervous'!

Because, those monitor lizards who turned around had become completely different from before—the rough skin of the other party began to swell and become smooth, but this smoothness was not the smooth kind of healthy kind, but something swollen from the inside, holding the skin smooth.

One swollen and smoother pustule after another appeared on the surface of the skin of these monitor lizards, and it was even faintly visible that there was some blue-black speckled creature swimming rapidly inside these pustules...... But the scariest thing is not this.

It's the eyes of these monitor lizards.

The eyes of the green beetle lizards were originally deeply trapped in their deep and wide eye sockets, protected by a thick layer of eyelids, after all, they do not live on good eyesight, they only need to distinguish almost enough.

Now, however, the eyes of these monitor lizards are strangely bulging - as if something inside the sockets has swelled, squeezing all of their originally light brown eyeballs out of their sockets, revealing the wriggling blue-red muscles inside.

And...... Parasites.

A swarm of light blue parasites wriggled and churned in the flesh, burrowing in and out, releasing a nausea-inducing vitality...... and eerie horror.
