Chapter 2: Big Hole x Ancient Iguana

With the help of the tree trunk that had been hollowed out by insects, Ji Yan successfully crossed the river blocking the way and came to the other side.

After walking for a while, he arrived at a higher mound, and when he raised his eyes, most of his destination finally fell into Ji Yan's eyes.

The shape of the mountain peaks looks like two square columns, stripped from the otherwise intact building, and stands alone. Looking at the two pillars carefully, Ji Yan couldn't help but mutter: Could this be the architectural relics left by civilized creatures? Impossible, in such a wild place, there is no way to transport materials. Perhaps it was the wind erosion effect...... I hope so.

The location of Ji Yan already belongs to the "mountainous area", and there is only one beam from the mountain where the destination is located, and when he goes down the mountain and then up the mountain, there are two peak pillars, there are no plants nearby, and there are black-brown stones at a glance.

Picking up his pace, it didn't take long for Ji Yan to reach the bottom of the hill where the peak pillar was located.

With the purpose in sight, seeing that no matter how slow he was, he could reach the peak pillar before the sun set, Ji Yan's tense nerves immediately relaxed and slowed down. Suddenly—

One foot in the air!

The instinctive movement of his body caused him to dunk his fingers into the dirt, clinging to the ground tightly to prevent himself from falling completely.

After a flurry of kicking with his feet, he finally landed on the wall of the cave and stepped the uneven place above to fix his body.

Calm, Ji Yan turned his head to look back, and found that what frightened him was a big hole with a diameter of more than one meter, and it was black inside, at least two meters deep, enough to submerge him.

The corners of Ji Yan's mouth twitched, and he was afraid for a while: If he fell into it just now, he wouldn't be able to get out at all for a while!

Just as he was trying to get up, there was movement at the bottom of the cave, which was covered with thick dead branches and rotten leaves!

Immediately behind, there was a black back armor, a hideous tail hook, and a tentacle covered with bristles - it was actually an ancient giant scorpion more than a meter long and half a meter high!

Branches and leaves overturned, one, two...... There are three giant scorpions, one big and two small!

Feeling that something was wrong, Ji Yan turned his head again to look, and suddenly his soul flew out of the sky, and he was so frightened that he almost screamed!

This nest of giant scorpions has lived in the cave for a long time, and when it encountered a human prey for the first time, it did not immediately attack, and moved in place for a moment before stretching out its big claws and clamping Ji Yan's feet.

Their "hesitation" gave Ji Yan a chance to survive!

Under the crisis of life and death, Ji Yan's potential was fully stimulated, and his hands frantically grabbed the ground in front of him, desperately crawling forward, and finally crawled out of the cave before being caught by the giant scorpion claw.

Whew, whew, whew...... Ji Yan gasped heavily, his face was shocked and panicked, and his heart was beating wildly.

He picked up the wooden spear he had dropped and circled the cave, his eyes fixed on the movement inside.

A large black chelate was exposed, swaying from side to side, and it was a giant scorpion at the bottom of the cave that was trying to crawl out.

Ji Yan stepped forward and slammed it over, knocking its big claw down. The giant scorpion that was climbing the pit immediately slipped and fell back to the bottom of the pit.

The giant scorpion's movements were limited by its huge size and cave space, and it was very inflexible, and it was three of them moving together, which was even more sluggish, and under Ji Yan's resistance, there was no chance to climb out at all.

After dozens of rounds, they finally stopped working uselessly.

Seeing that the big scorpion had not moved for a while, Ji Yan boldly approached, only to see three giant scorpions lying at the bottom of the cave, touching their feet and pulling the thick dead leaves to bury themselves again, hiding their tracks.

Whew~~~ At this point, Ji Yan finally let go of the big stone in his heart and let out a long breath.

After this episode, most of the sun was already covered by distant mountains, and the residual light was barely enough for Ji Yan to see things within ten meters.

Ignoring anything else, Ji ran wildly, and finally arrived at his destination, the Peak Pillar, before the last trace of afterglow disappeared.

From a distance, he didn't think that when he came here, he found that these two peaks were quite majestic, full of three stories high, as if two spears were stuck in the ground, and the blades were horizontal, which was amazing.

"Sure enough, it's a man-made building...... Appearing in such a ghost place, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. The observed results made the corners of Ji Yan's eyes jump, and a strong sense of powerlessness enveloped his heart.

Forget it, it's a disaster, so don't think too much about it. Soon, he gave up his struggles and found a pit a few meters above the ground in a pit large enough to hold himself, and after a little cleaning, he lay down and closed his eyes.

After tossing for so long, he was tired, sleepy, hungry and afraid, but all he could do at the moment was close his eyes......

Nothing to say all night......

How can it be?!

Ji Yan didn't dare to sleep at all, and woke up as soon as he made the slightest movement, holding the wooden spear tightly in his hand, and a pair of bloodshot eyes vigilantly searched for all movements nearby.

That night, he witnessed the horror of the night jungle!

When night falls, many animals begin to come out to hunt for food, and all kinds of strange sounds are non-stop all night, howling, hissing, growling, flapping wings...... filled his ears, so that he did not dare to be careless for a moment.

Due to visibility problems, he didn't see any terrifying monsters, only a huge bat. They were extremely fast, their wings spread out at least five meters, and their strength was also very strong, and Ji Yan saw a giant bat fly up with his own eyes grabbing a prey the size of a family owner and disappearing from sight.

Bats use sound waves to locate and hunt, and in the face of such a terrifying creature, Ji Yan can only try to stick his body against the cave wall to reduce his sense of existence.

............

Finally, the night passed, and the morning light was everywhere.

Ji Yan, who was physically tired and mentally exhausted, couldn't bear the strong sleepiness anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

And this slept came to noon.

Looking at the red fireball hanging in the middle of the sky, Ji Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: I actually slept for so long, defenseless, I was really lucky.

Lifting his spirits and moving his body, Ji Yan walked down the mountain with a wooden spear and torches, and continued in the direction he had before.

When passing by the big hole, Ji Yan couldn't help but go over and take a few more looks, and found that the three giant scorpions were hidden under the leaves, and only a small part was exposed.

He had a flash of inspiration and an idea!

Just do it, Ji Yan is busy.

For a long time, he looked at the cave that was completely covered by the floating soil of dead branches and grass leaves, and smiled with satisfaction. This big hole is mostly left by intelligent creatures, and just now he had a flash of inspiration and decided to process it into a powerful trap. As for whether it is useful or not...... God knows, it doesn't take much effort anyway.

In the direction chosen by Ji Yan, he must enter the forest again. Although I was reluctant to do anything, I still stepped into the deep and ancient jungle again.

The smell of blood!

After taking a few steps, the smell wafting into his nostrils made Ji Yan's heart froze, and he hurriedly bowed down and took light steps, hid behind a big tree, and cautiously poked his head out to observe the direction where the smell of blood came from.

Oh my God!!! The sight made him almost cry out, and his eyes were so round that they were about to fall out.

In sight, an ancient iguana that looks like an enlarged version of a crocodile is enjoying today's meal. Its massive body is blue-black, with two rows of dorsal fins in the center of its back extending from its head to its tail, like diagonal blades. Its legs are thick and powerful, and its strong, nimble tail can sweep an adult to death, but its real weapon is an ugly mouth as powerful as a crocodile, with terrifying jagged teeth inside.

Its meal was an enlarged version of an ostrich, not yet dead, and the iguana shook vigorously every time it tore off a large piece of flesh from the moa, and its beak-like mouth let out a fainter and fainter wail.

Ji Yan swallowed hard, only to feel chills all over his body.

He held his breath and tiptoed back.

But, accidentally, I stepped on a dead branch the thickness of a little thumb!

The sound of dead branches breaking was extremely faint, but it was clear enough for the iguana.

It turned its head suddenly, and its cold gaze fell on Ji Yan, and the high-level predator's evil energy and coercion instinct were released, making Ji Yan feel suffocated.

Run!!

Without half a minute of hesitation, Ji Yan turned around and ran, using all his strength to eat, and fled frantically.

Despite its huge size, the iguana's four legs were short and clumsy, but its speed was not slow at all, and it was tightly bitten meters behind Ji Yan, and no matter how much the latter ran, it couldn't outrun its sight.

In the panic, Ji Yan didn't have the idea of choosing a route that was not conducive to the movement of the iguana's little short legs, and his body instinctively ran in the direction he came, and soon ran out of the jungle area, and then returned to the foot of the mountain.

The iguana chased after it closely, and even after leaving the jungle, its speed increased, and the distance between it and Ji Yan became closer and closer, and from a distance, it only took a sprint to throw Ji Yan to the ground and feast.

That's right, the trap! A trace of clarity appeared in Ji's messy mind, and at this time, the trap that was reasonably disguised had already come into sight, not far away.

Whether it is life or death, just look at it once, fight! Gritting his teeth fiercely, Ji Yan ran straight towards the trap.

The distance between the iguana and him was getting closer and closer, and he seemed to smell the stench coming from the iguana's mouth.

When the distance between Ji Yan and the trap was only one meter, the distance between the iguana and him was also similar, and it had already opened its big mouth, aiming at Ji Yan's legs and preparing to attack.

At this time, Ji Yan made a move!

He jerked his feet and jumped to the left with all his might!

In fact, he didn't have too much impression of the specific area of the trap, this jump was completely a battle for luck! Good luck, everything is easy to say, bad luck, he himself will fall directly and take the initiative to send it to the door as food!

Fortunately, this time the god of luck was on his side.

The iguana is not agile enough to turn and rushes into the trap area.

The floating soil branches and leaves on the surface of the trap collapsed, and the iguana fell headlong into a big hole!

It fell hard, and the three giant scorpions at the bottom of the cave were so unlucky that they were crushed to death by its huge weight.

The diameter of the big hole in the trap is less than two meters and the depth is less than three meters, and after the iguana fell into it, the entire long tail was exposed, and it was still sweeping desperately, so that Ji Yan did not dare to approach.

The iguana struggled for a long time, but it couldn't climb out, and as its strength was consumed, the movement became smaller.

Listening to the "wailing" of the iguana in his ears, the corners of Ji Yan's mouth curled, and his eyes burst out with a strange light intertwined with cold and fiery.

He found a large number of dead branches and flammable fallen leaves, swept them all into the trap, and then pressed the lighter with a "poof" to light the torch and threw it inside.

Flames blaze! Smoke billows out!

The intense death crisis made the iguana struggle desperately, but there was no way back.

Its tenacious vitality has now become the worst poison, causing it to suffer more than ever before it dies.

After confirming the death of the iguana several times, Ji Yan finally couldn't help but be excited in his heart, and let out a long howl, pouring out all the emotions accumulated in his heart in one fell swoop!

Pulling out the burned unburned dead leaves, after a while, Ji made an astonishing move.

He jumped into the trap!
