A multi-eyed pleus-tailed lizard crawled out of a crack in the rock, a mutant lizard half a meter long, with a flattened body and scales that secrete a slimy bodily fluid when needed, allowing it to move freely through crevices that are difficult for ordinary mutants to navigate. It is said to be a lizard, but it is actually more like a manta ray. There are rows of eyes on either side of the forehead, but most of these eyes have degenerated, except for the one eye in the middle of the head, which is open.

This one-eyed has infrared vision and allows multi-eyed lizards to see things in the dark. As for the weapons used to attack the prey, they come from the snake's tail. The long, flexible tail has the same muscle structure as a snake, and can easily strangle its prey. And there is a mouthpart at the end of the tail, which is full of fangs. If you bite it to the core, even if it is not poisonous, the prey will die.

The multi-eyed lizard is a specialty of the Shadow Canyon and one of several mutant creatures at the top of the food chain in the canyon. The multi-eyed lizard hadn't eaten for a long time, and its body was flattened to almost no thickness. It crawled swiftly across the icy cliff face, occasionally spitting out its long, forked tongue and rolling in the air. This tongue is elongated, but it is full of nerves, which makes the multi-eyed lizard unusually sensitive to taste.

It can easily detect more than 100 different flavors in the air or wind, and classify them to determine whether there is prey nearby, which is called a taste radar. Like the multi-eyed lizard right now, it must stop every ten meters of crawling and poke its long tongue into the air. The tip of the tongue twitched slightly, which was a sign that the taste buds of the multi-eyed lizard were working at full strength.

Soon, the wind brings a special flavor. It's a little sweet, and it has a pinprick feeling. This means that there are humans nearby, and they are capable of being among the human beings. The intelligence of the multi-eyed lizard is not enough to comprehend what the term capable person represents, and it simply classifies the taste and sensation as dangerous but tasty human. For it, what matters is the taste of the prey. As for the danger, as one of the top hunters in the canyon, the multi-eyed lizard doesn't care.

It quickly approached the source of the smell, a cavern in the cliff face, the entrance of which was simply camouflaged, with weeds and branches piled together to block most of the hole. If you look from the bottom up, you will ignore the past because of the relationship between angle and camouflage. However, the multi-eyed lizard uses its taste buds to determine the location of its prey, so the camouflage in the line of sight is of little use to it.

Coming to the entrance of the cave, the one-eyed infrared vision came into play. With the faint light from above the canyon, the multi-eyed lizard could see that the cave was not deep. And in the depths of the cave was a man huddled, seemingly wounded, with marks left by blood clotting next to him.

The hungry mutant lizard swam in silently, confident in its stealth. The flat body secretes enough fluids to minimize friction when moving. Even in the quiet environment right now, don't want to hear a sound. In the one-eyed eye of the multi-eyed lizard, the eyeball is constantly changing switches. Sometimes flat, sometimes round, this change is regular and can play a role similar to hypnosis. In many cases, just by looking at the prey with one eye, or even attacking without it, the prey will let down all its guard and let it eat.

Of course, this will only work if the eyes of both parties meet. The one-eyed hypnosis is only a backup method for the mutant lizard, which prefers to strangle humans to death with its own snake tail. In one of the few attempts to kill humans, this multi-eyed lizard killed its prey in this way.

But tonight's prey seemed to be a little different, when it first came to the top of the other's head. The prey suddenly raised its head and rolled its eyes in the darkness. From the one-eyed lizard's one-eyed eye, the eyes of the prey under infrared vision simply spewed out a strong light, and the piercing multi-eyed lizard couldn't help but close its eyes. The prey had already found out, but instead of retreating, the multi-eyed lizard pounced directly, and the snake's tail immediately rolled towards the prey.

But while it was still in the air, the man it regarded as its prey somehow stretched out a finger and pointed it at the closed single eye of the mutant lizard. The one-eyed immediately burst open, and there was a slight jolt in the deviant lizard's body. With each vibration, a visceral tissue is destroyed. A string of shocks came down, and the creature's body had already turned into a lump of flesh.

The lifeless deviant lizard snapped and fell to the ground, and Nicholas looked at it and sighed softly. The line between prey and hunter is so blurred, like last night, when he was fully playing the role of hunter, but was bitten by his prey at the last moment. And it was quite a heavy bite, which made him have to retreat.

The sword that Moni slashed at his chest was heavy, heavy enough to explode the entire Void Stone. Of course, as long as there is time, the Void Energy Stone can still be recovered, but that is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two. Nicholas did not forget his mission and did not allow any stain on his life. So he stayed, intending to infiltrate Dawn again and solve the trouble.

In last night's battle, the battle power in Dawning City that could make him see it was dead and wounded. Although he was also injured now, he was unable to drive the strength of the eleventh order. But even if it's only the tenth order, it's enough to get rid of those guys. The only thing to worry about is that after last night's battle, the other party has obviously raised the level of vigilance. If there is no foolproof way to infiltrate the city, it is likely to scare them away.

Nicholas knew that behind Dawn was a vast federation of aliens. If those people escaped into the circle of influence of the alien federation, it would be extremely difficult for him to catch them all.

This is his concern, and there is no good way to deal with it right now.

Thinking about it, Nicholas picked up the lizard corpse on the ground. Running his fingers across his body, the lizard's scales fell with a clatter. The lizard had little muscle tissue, and Nicholas tore open its corpse, pulling out a mushy mass of visceral tissue inside and sending it to his mouth. The taste is poor, but it provides some protein and water, which can help with recovery from injuries, and that's enough.

However, the multi-eyed lizard is limited by its body structure, and the protein and water it can provide are extremely limited. The heat energy that the former can convert is dispensable to Nicholas, and the important thing is water. Hollowed out of the body, he still felt his lips dry and cracked. At that moment, there was a slight vibration.

The magnitude of the tremor is not large, and ordinary people will simply ignore the past. But for a person like Nicholas who has the ability to perceive the domain, no amount of slight amplitude can hide his perception. He crept to the mouth of the cave and crouched behind the cover, and could see a faint light in the distance of the canyon.

The light quickly became intense and formed a pillar of light. Pillars of light swept through the space of the canyon, and from time to time some strange figures scurried through the light, making strange noises. Nicholas's pupils were quietly changing, and he was adjusting his vision. When you zoom out, you can see a two-wheeled motorcycle looking in your direction on the road on the other side of the canyon.

On the locomotive was a man in a tactical suit and a tactical helmet. There seems to be a pole gun behind him, and the length is estimated to be a sniper rifle. The knight stopped and stopped, as if looking for something. When he stopped, Nicholas saw him sweep over the cliffs on either side of the nearby canyon with some kind of firearm-like instrument. Some kind of probing wave energy could be felt from the instrument, and Nicholas, himself an expert in the perceptual domain, pressed his hand against the rock wall, and stretched out his sense of touch through the rock wall. As soon as this kind of detection wave energy is intercepted and analyzed, it is concluded that the other party may be aiming at you.

Because there are some special wavelengths in that kind of detection wave energy, which are specially designed for those who are good at stealth perception domain ability.

In other words, the other party is a hunter.

But looking at it like this, it looks like a rookie.

Nicholas smiled slightly, thinking that maybe his chance had come. This person is most likely from Dawning City, and it is possible that the city has sent scouts. There should be more than one person like this, and they will scatter to search for their place. After finding it, notify the strong man on the side to come over and intercept the siege.

Good strategy, but unfortunately it was used on the wrong people. Nicholas thought that this man was about his size and wore a tactical helmet. Kill him, disguise yourself as him, and you'll be able to enter Dawning City without realizing it, and continue with his half-baked mission.

With his mind decided, Nicholas removed the cover at the entrance of the cave. Killing a rookie wasn't a difficult job for him, so he stood at the edge of the cave and waited quietly for his target to pass by.

He didn't have to wait long, and as the pillar of light in front of the locomotive moved, the locomotive was already close to where Nicholas was. Just as the two-wheeled locomotive drove past the soles of Nicholas' feet, the Prophet moved. He jumped off the cliff like a big bat, strangely without making any sound. Unbeknownst to the knights below, Nicholas landed smoothly behind him.

The Prophet's feet seemed to be glued to the locomotive, and he adjusted his posture slightly in response to the locomotive's movements, so that the rider on the rook did not even notice that there was another person behind him. Nicholas stretched out his hand to him, just hold the other man's head, and turn him 180 degrees, and the rookie will be here. But just as Nicholas was about to touch him, the knight seemed to be aware of it, and his head had a tendency to look backwards.

Nicholas immediately tapped him on the shoulder, and the man rose into the air, like a great bird, and quickly swept up the cliff, and then clinged to it. The knight turned back, but saw nothing, so he continued to drive on.

Although it was a little uncomfortable, it didn't matter, because Nicholas had reached out to him. As long as he catches up and uses his ability to control completely, he can take this rookie without even lifting a finger.

The pillar of light had quickly faded away, and soon became a point of light in the depths of the canyon. Fearing that he would lose his prey, Nicholas immediately fell to the ground and swept forward. It's just that the further you go, the more humidity in the air becomes. Nicholas was surprised, could there be water in front of his heart?

That's really good news, he thought.

Right now, the prophet is thirsty.

After chasing for a while, Nicholas couldn't even see the lights in front of the car. It seems that the knight has discovered something, which is not a good sign. In case this opportunity is missed, God knows how long it will take for such a rookie to be delivered to the door by himself. Thinking so, the Prophet quickened his pace.

By this point, the canyon was narrowing, and Nicholas seemed to have reached the bottom of the V, the narrowing of the cliff gave an oppressive feeling, and the humidity in the air had become very noticeable. Even, Nicholas had already heard the sound of water.
