138, overlord salamander
After everyone entered the water, the fire ladybug also chased after them, but the young body of the overlord salamander was not seen for the time being.
And those fire ladybugs were indeed as afraid of water as they expected, and countless blue fireballs floated three or four meters above the underground lake.
Luo Zihang could clearly feel the continuous heat wave above, and the lake water on his face was also rapidly evaporating, and he could even feel that his originally wet hair was regaining its dryness.
"Be careful, everyone! Always be ready to take a deep breath and dive into the water! Luo Zihang reminded loudly while paddling his limbs.
"They shouldn't dare to come down, right? Fire and water are incompatible! ”
A senior probably felt that he should have been safe after entering the water, and did not take Luo Zihang's reminder seriously, but grinned, then scooped up a handful of water with his palm and splashed it towards the fireball above.
This idiot!
Luo Zihang looked at the senior speechlessly, there was no such plot in Li, because this idiot who ran to provoke the fire ladybug was burned to death on it a long time ago in the original book, and he had no chance to enter this cave at all.
Good words are hard to persuade the damned ghost, Luo Zihang no longer paid attention to this senior who was dead, but continued to stroke his limbs hard, trying to stay away from the group of fire ladybugs above.
The fire ladybugs seemed to be enraged by the idiot's provocation, and their speed increased significantly, and after a chaotic and chaotic flight, they probably finished communicating, and then, as described, they all came together to form a huge blue fireball.
Then, the huge fireball fell towards the underground lake like Kakarot's energy bomb.
"You idiot!" Ah Cheng and several of the more grumpy students all scolded loudly.
The others didn't know that the fire ladybugs would do this sooner or later, in their eyes, it was the senior's initiative to provoke that made these fire ladybugs use this kind of fighting that ended together.
Luo Zihang was not very panicked, because he knew that as long as he got underwater, he would be fine, and his current lung capacity was very strong, so before diving, he even had the kung fu to see if anyone needed help with bad water quality.
Because of the "Ladybug Vitality Bomb", even if Luo Zihang and the others dived underwater, they could still see the environment of about ten meters clearly, and they could see several strange fish whose eyes had completely degenerated from time to time swimming below......
and the overlord salamander larvae that attacked them.
Dit! Why is this guy here too?!
Luo Zihang looked at the little overlord salamander who was coming towards him, and he was a little depressed in his heart......
I knew it and let it be shot like in the original plot.
In the face of the overlord salamander that was swimming towards him quickly, Luo Zihang did not panic, his water nature was not very good, but his long breath and the skills accumulated by multiple copies gave him full confidence to face this "little guy" who was "only" more than one meter.
Luo Zihang clenched the dagger that had slashed the tongue of the Overlord Salamander before, saw the opportunity, and when the other party was about to bite him, he kicked his legs and waved his free arms, narrowly avoiding its sharp teeth, and then stabbed the opponent in the eye with a backhand, and before the Overlord Salamander went berserk, he kicked it on its side, pulled out the dagger with the reaction force, and retreated some distance.
When Luo Zihang swam away, the overlord salamander, whose eyes were injured, began to wave its limbs and tail frantically, stirring the lake water in all directions, but instead pushed Luo Zihang farther away.
At this time, several border guards also saw the situation on Luo Zihang's side, and swam towards him with their limbs.
It's just that their swimming speed is still not as fast as the amphibious creature like the overlord salamander after all, and after venting frantically, the other party chased Luo Zihang again with perseverance.
The resistance in the water was too great, and it was still not easy to exert after all, and Luo Zihang was inevitably whipped by its tail after two or three rounds of wrestling with the Overlord Salamander.
However, because it was in the water, Luo Zihang didn't feel how heavy it was......
Of course, it still hurts a little, but ......
That's it.
Luo Zihang, who had a bottom in his heart, was more calm, so he only needed to pay attention not to be bitten by the overlord salamander.
Then he glanced at the other party's limbs, which were obviously unable to tickle his back, quickly swung his legs, and took the initiative to meet the overlord salamander.
Luo Zihang once again avoided the bite of the overlord salamander, then reached out and pulled it next to its head, and then swam to the side of its blind eye.
It's just that as a creature that lives in a dim crypt all year round, the Overlord Salamander doesn't rely entirely on its vision to catch its prey, so it twists its head almost at the same time and bites Luo Zihang's arm that has not yet retracted.
And Luo Zihang's reaction was fast enough, he twisted his body violently to avoid the attack of the overlord salamander, but his plan to climb onto the other party's back also failed.
The two sides returned to their previous state again, but after this period of intense exercise, no matter how strong his lung capacity was, he had already begun to feel insufficient oxygen.
So Luo Zihang could only entangle with the overlord salamander while forcibly enduring the somewhat hot lake above and leaning towards the shore as much as possible......
At this time, the fire ladybug was almost dead, and the water was no longer dangerous, but on the contrary, the visibility around it was also rapidly decreasing.
But fortunately, at this time, the border guards had also rushed to the left, and the flashlights in their hands provided some light, so that Luo Zihang would not become blind.
It's a pity that the range that the flashlight's beam can illuminate is still too small, and after losing the light source of the fire ladybug, Luo Zihang can't see the movements of the overlord salamander at all, so he is still inevitably scratched by the overlord salamander with its sharp claws, if it weren't for Luo Zihang's quick reaction, his entire arm would have been bitten off by the overlord salamander.
Luo Zihang endured the pain in his arm, paddled a few times hard, and finally sent his head out of the water before the breath he was holding was exhausted.
And the overlord salamander was also entangled by the border guards at this time, and he had no time to pursue him for the time being.
After Luo Zihang surfaced and took two big breaths, he took a deep breath, grabbed the dagger and turned his head and stabbed back......
With his lung capacity, he couldn't hold it back, and those border guards would definitely not last long, even if the other party was just a copy NPC, Luo Zihang couldn't watch them sacrifice with peace of mind.
But when he swam back, he found that the overlord salamander was already scarred......
In the final analysis, the other party is just a juvenile more than one meter long, and in terms of size alone, it is not even as good as a normal adult, so in the face of the siege of four skilled border guards, it is natural that this overlord salamander fell into the disadvantage.
With the addition of Luo Zihang, the five of them quickly succeeded in besieging and killing this overlord salamander, and the moment they eliminated it, the four border guards swam quickly to the lake......
It is not easy for them to last until now, thanks to the fact that they stay on the plateau with thin air all year round, even if their lung capacity is not as good as Luo Zihang, who has "internal strength", it is not too bad.
The five of them went ashore one after another, and then all of them lay on their backs on the ground and breathed in a big gulp of air, Ah Cheng came over and bandaged Luo Zihang's arm briefly, and then went down to the lake with the others, intending to fish up the corpse of the overlord salamander.
On the other side, Professor Wei was collecting the complete corpse of the fire ladybug while scolding at the second goods who had just provoked the fire ladybug.
The man also knew that he was in the wrong, and he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with his head down.
"Is this a salamander?" After a while, Ah Cheng and several other boys worked together to drag the corpse of the overlord salamander to the case, and he pulled the mouth full of sharp teeth, and said in amazement: "This guy is big, and his teeth are still so sharp...... Can amphibians really grow teeth like this? It can't be some kind of mutant who escaped from the lab, right? ”
In this year, there are all kinds of science fiction works popular in China, and it is not uncommon for Ah Cheng to have this association, and even he also classified the fire ladybug as an "experimental subject" by the way.
"Have you forgotten that Azati said that they have a legend of the fire ladybug there for a long time, how can it be some kind of experimental subject......" Luo Zihang rolled his eyes and complained.
"Xiao Luo is right, this thing is not an experimental subject, it should be the overlord salamander, an ancient creature that has been extinct in the ice age, I didn't expect there to be a living individual now......" Professor Wei also came over, looked at the corpse of the overlord salamander, and said in a tone that was not very sure: "Maybe the ancient salamander had this kind of teeth?" It's just that it degraded later...... I don't study paleontology and fossils very much, and I don't know much about them. ”
"Shouldn't we kill it?" One of the border guards asked nervously, "This thing should be rare, right?" ”
"No matter how rare it is, it can't compare to human life," Professor Wei smiled and patted him on the shoulder, comforting, "Don't worry, no one will blame you, and ......"
He glanced at the corpse on the ground again, and continued: "If I'm not mistaken, the adult Overlord Salamander should be 3~4 meters long, and this one should still be underage, so there are probably its own kind here, and when we go out, we can send someone to look for it." ”
"And bigger?!" Ah Cheng prophesied with some anxiety: "Professor, wait, there shouldn't be any relatives and friends who will come to seek revenge, right?" ”
"What's the panic? Don't we still have guns? Professor Wei glared at him fiercely.
However, the squad leader on the side laughed and spoke: "That...... Professor, our guns are all in the water, and they can't be used anymore. ”
There are no waterproof measures for firearms in this era, and it is not that they are completely unusable, but there will definitely be problems such as inaccuracy and dumb fire, and the risk of exploding the chamber is also greatly increased, so it is not much different from scrapping.
In fact, even after many years, many firearms will still affect their use after they enter the water, but the impact will be relatively small.
Hearing that the gun was useless, the expression on Professor Wei's face was obviously a little stiff, and after a while, he said dryly, "That, that's not a big problem...... Salamanders are not social creatures, so even if there are other individuals, there must not be too many, and the size of three or four meters is only three or four meters, so many of us are enough to deal with it. ”
Luo Zihang pursed his lips covertly, if only it was only three or four meters in size.
However, he also knew that even if he reminded them now, most of them would not believe it, so Luo Zihang simply stepped aside and prepared the weapons he wanted to use......
"Brother Jie, what are you doing with Senior Sister's sapper shovel?" Ah Cheng watched Luo Zihang ask a senior sister if she wanted her sapper shovel, then sat on the ground and tinkered, and couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Make a weapon, in case something bigger comes over, and then there's something to deal with it." Luo Zihang replied without raising his head.
Ah Cheng was stunned, and seemed to think that Luo Zihang had a point, so he learned from him to stir up his own sapper shovel together.
The others also heard their conversation, and a few followed, but many were more indifferent......
The main reason is that they don't feel that they have the ability to run to fight the overlord salamander, and it is only to add chaos to rush in, so it is better to obediently accept protection.
However, they were not at ease and did nothing, while Luo Zihang and the others were preparing weapons, the few people who did not plan to participate in the battle took a short rest and looked around to find a way out.
The few of them circled around the underground lake, and soon found a gap, and the lake flowed down the gap, this waterway was a cave seven or eight meters high, and the bottom was completely submerged, and there was no way to go, and if they wanted to move forward, they had to swim out of the water.
"I'll go to the front!" The senior who had been in trouble before volunteered and took the lead in swimming to the gap.
Originally, Luo Zihang didn't pay much attention to it, but when he subconsciously glanced at it, he suddenly found that there was a huge black shadow under the water approaching the senior......
"Watch out underwater!" He didn't care to think about why this big overlord salamander appeared at this time, and hurriedly reminded loudly.
However, his reminder was still a step slower, and he saw a bloody mouth suddenly burst out of the water, biting off the waist of the senior who was swimming.
With a scream from the senior, the bright red blood instantly dispersed in the lake.
"Ahh——!!!h When the two girls saw this tragic situation, they screamed in unison.
After killing the senior in the water, the overlord salamander immediately turned around and swam towards the shore, and a moment later, its huge body appeared in front of everyone's eyes......
It looked exactly like the salamander beside Luo Zihang......
Depend on! Could it be that this thing was attracted by the corpse of a small salamander?
Luo Zihang suddenly thought of this possibility, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice, and then he became annoyed again......
I should have let this little salamander die under the gun according to the original plot!
However, he thought about it again, if according to the original plot, this giant salamander should have appeared when they crossed the river, then, it seems that this situation is more favorable to them now?
Either way, however, they had to figure out how to deal with the big one.
After the giant overlord salamander came ashore, it first glanced at the corpse of the little salamander, and then flicked its tail and stared at everyone with a fierce look.
"Gollum ......"
Being stared at by such a giant monster, even Luo Zihang, who had long known the existence of the other party, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, let alone others.
"Professor, didn't you say that this thing is only three or four meters at most?" Ah Cheng's voice was a little fluttery, and he tried to pull the corners of his mouth to smile, but failed.
He couldn't laugh at such a terrible creature.
Professor Wei's face turned pale, but he muttered, "Shouldn't it? It's not going to grow this big...... It's also scientifically ...... at all."
However, the Overlord Salamander didn't care about any scientific or unscientific things, and after observing for a while, it moved its thick limbs and rushed towards the two students with great speed and momentum like a small tank.

Recommended monthly passes
Considering that there may be more things to do in Qingming next month, the leave note may not be enough, so I will stop for a day tomorrow and save some manuscripts for next month.
I wanted to take a leave of absence two days ago, but I suddenly received a notice that there was a recommendation on the 26th, and then it was postponed to tomorrow......
