Claire sat straddling the branches of the tree, finally sobering up a little.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the behemoth that was crawling slowly among the grass dozens of meters away, and then looked at Roy who was sliding down the tree trunk, and instantly came to his senses.

The cold sweat on his body broke out all at once.

He didn't even dare to shout loudly, followed Roy, and slipped down the tree.

Roy thought Claire had slipped down from the tree and wanted to help.

He leaned down and felt over the grass where the monitor lizard was hiding.

Claire grabbed Roy from behind and tugged hard back......

After a few moments, the two retreated back to the tree.

It was nearly four meters long, and from a distance it looked like a alligator, round from top to bottom, like a fat pig with an oily buttocks, its skin was the same color as the grass, and when its mouth was closed, a row of sharp teeth were exposed.

It was a petrified lizard that had just come of age, and Claire didn't even dare to speak out loud.

The two hid in the tree, and Claire leaned into Roy's ear and said to him in a low voice:

"Do you know how powerful it is?"

Roy could sense the panic in Claire's eyes.

Claire looked again at the grass in the distance, where the petrified monitor lizard was still crawling slowly.

At this time, it was lurking in the grass.

Claire whispered to Roy:

"This is a petrified lizard, and it looks like it's an adult, so I'm sure it's a second-level demonic beast, as long as it is willing to open its mouth, it can easily bite off the big tree in front of it, it's impossible for the two of us to kill a petrified lizard, before it notices us, get out of here quickly!"

Speaking of which, this should be the second monster Roy has ever seen.

The first is Mrs. Winnie's Nightblade Leopard cub, silly and cute, and non-threatening......

Claire stared nervously at the grass over there, and Roy realized that the petrified lizard hiding in the grass opposite was actually a second-level demonic beast.

Although it looked so fat that it seemed to be about to crawl, as long as it was a demonic beast, it was not something that the two of them could provoke.

Roy wanted to touch it with a big grin before, but in fact, he was completely misled by the teachers of the Elven Academy.

Before coming to the Malaga jungle, more than one teacher in the academy said that the Malaga jungle is very safe, except for poisonous insects, snakes and ants that need to be guarded against, there is not even a large beast in the entire Malaga jungle, and there is no beast with any attack power at all.

This gave Roy the illusion that the fat, oily monitor lizard in front of him might be a meek grass-eating lizard......

Claire said that it was a second-level magical beast, which scared Roy.

Thinking about the previous reckless move, it was like delivering food to this big lizard......

"Let's go, I don't want either of us to be a lump of lizard droppings." Claire continued.

Roy hid in the branches of the tree, looked at the monitor lizard in the grass with some confusion, and quickly opened the parchment map to confirm that it was still within the range of the Malaga jungle, near the north-western edge, but definitely not out of the Malaga jungle.

"How did it end up in the Malaga jungle?" Roy asked, puzzled.

"I don't know ......"

Claire responded.

The two were about to leave......

Roy looked at the petrified monitor lizard with some reluctance, and found that the overwhelmed grass behind the monitor lizard was stained with some blood that was about to dry up.

The petrified monitor lizard's eye membranes crouching in the grass were also closed, and its limbs were somewhat unnaturally pressed under its body......

Although no wounds were found on the petrified lizard, Roy was sure that:

"Claire, look...... It seems to be hurt. ”

"Even if it's injured, it's a petrified lizard, it's a demonic beast, a powerful second-level demonic beast." Claire reminded Roy.

"Or wait......" Roy said to Claire not wanting to give up on the monitor lizard like that.

"Then we'll just wait here, maybe it just wants to take a nap!" Claire also felt that it was worth observing again, so she agreed.

Roy didn't wait in the trees, the Malaga jungle was stuffy and hot......

You can still feel a hint of wind here, but the wind is also warm.

At Roy's mention, the two of them slid down from the tree again, and slowly turned behind the petrified monitor lizard a few dozen meters away.

When the two of them approached, it was basically one person standing guard on a high place, and the other dared to go forward, alternately covering to the path that the petrified lizard must pass, and on the large barren grass that had been overwhelmed, Roy could easily find the dried bloodstains.

Roy followed the crawling trail of the petrified lizard again, and walked a little further behind, and sure enough, there were blood stains along the way, although some intermittently, but it didn't stop......

And in some grass nests, you can still find some large pools of blood.

"It does look like it's hurt, and it's never healed...... It's just that there is a monster here, and it's a little abnormal, I should have been injured, so I ran into the Malaga jungle. Roy dropped the straw stalk in his hand and said to Claire.

"Such a big guy, even if he is injured, it is not something we can deal with!" Claire continued.

"Why don't you just observe it again? For such a big guy, the skin on his body must be very valuable, maybe two sets of leather armor are enough! Roy said.

"Then wait a little longer......"

Claire had no objection.

……

The petrified lizard crouched in the grass seemed to be asleep, lying motionless in the grass.

The two of them squatted in the tree for most of the day, taking turns staring at the petrified monitor lizard lying in the wild grass.

Roy waited impatiently, so he asked Claire, who was in charge of observing the movements of the petrified lizard:

"Claire, how's it going?"

"Still lying there, I can't tell if I'm dead or alive......" Claire replied quietly, leaning back on the tree.

Glancing at the grass in the distance, Roy decided to take a chance and get a closer look, and said, "I'll take a look." ”

"Don't go......" Claire shouted as she didn't want Roy to take the risk.

Roy pulled out two iron chisels from his bag and said to Claire, "I have a way!" ”

"Why did you bring this with you?" Claire looked at the two iron chisels in Roy's hand and asked suspiciously.

In fact, Roy was not holding an iron drill in his hand, Roy raised it and looked at Claire before saying:

"Originally, I was worried that there would be a storm or something, but I was afraid that the tent would be blown away by strong winds, and I would have to sleep in the open all day long, so I brought a windproof rope and these drills......

Claire saw a row of barbs on the drill and asked Roy, "Is this the tip of the speargun?" ”

"Well, it was me and Abt who found it on the Black Pearl, there are several chests, all brand new and sharp enough, I'm going to set up a few traps......"

After Roy finished speaking, he slid down the tree neatly, and on the straight path between the big tree and the petrified monitor lizard, he cautiously walked a few meters away towards the petrified monitor lizard, and then squatted down and buried the tip of the spear in his hand at an angle of forty-five degrees in the direction of the monitor lizard, half of the tip of the spear was exposed on the plane

Roy was even worried that the petrified lizard's huge body would knock the tip of the gun into the dirt after hitting the tip of the gun, and he also put a stone under the mud layer, so that the tip of the gun would be against the stone, and the petrified lizard would not crash into the dirt again.

Roy placed four spear tips in a row along the line before climbing the tree.

"Shoot it with an arrow......" Roy said to Claire, who was sitting in a tree.

Claire took out a battle bow from her magic waist bag, mounted a feather arrow, and said to Roy, "Wait a minute, once it catches up, we will jump down immediately, run away, this guy should be injured, should not be able to catch up with us!" ”

"Good!" Roy hurriedly agreed.

Claire drew her bow and arrows, and with a 'whoosh' of the feathered arrows flew towards the petrified lizard's head.

Although the two of them were more than fifty meters away from the petrified lizard, Claire's archery skills were very good, and the first arrow almost flew over the petrified lizard's head.

Immediately afterward, Claire fired a second arrow.

This time the arrow landed firmly in the petrified lizard's left eye, and the arrow pierced its face, but the petrified lizard lay motionless.

Roy and Claire glanced at each other, both with some surprise in their eyes.

Without Roy having to say anything, Claire fired three more arrows at the petrified lizard, two of which hit the petrified lizard's head.

Seeing that the petrified lizard was still motionless, Roy and Claire were relieved.

Roy was about to slip down from the tree immediately and get closer to observe, but Claire advocated stability, pulled Roy and said, "Wait, be patient, it's worth our wait." ”

In this way, the two waited in the tree for another quarter of an hour, and saw that the petrified lizard was still lying motionless in the grass.

Roy says:

"Looks like I won't wake up again......"

With that, Roy slipped down as fast as he could.

Claire held the battle bow and followed Roy cautiously on guard.

Roy was a little frightened and pushed aside the wild grass, and finally saw the petrified lizard lying in the grass a few meters away, although he couldn't feel its breathing, and it still had three feathered arrows stuck in its head, but Roy still found a fist-sized stone on the ground and threw it at the top of the petrified lizard's head.

'Bang Dang'

The thrown stone smashed precisely on the head of the petrified lizard, which was still lying motionless.

Roy was completely relieved at this time, and walked over to the petrified lizard, only to see that there was a pool of blood where it was lying.

The petrified lizard had been dead for a long time.

Roy untied a bundle of rope from his body, tried to tie up the petrified lizard, and dragged it under a tree......

Although the head of the petrified lizard was tied with a rope, the big guy was too heavy, and he and Claire couldn't even drag such a large petrified lizard.
