…
Half-sunken Lake Island was located in the north of the Thousand-island Lake. It was a special island with half of the island immersed in the lake and the other half exposed to the outside. Not many people knew about this island because they had to pass through a very dangerous area to reach it.
The Foehn Hunter Squad had arrived at the island. Zhong Li was an expert at finding shortcuts in the wild and observing the terrain. He was the one who had found the path to the Half-Sunken Island.
They were on a small wooden boat. It was more appropriate to use primitive means of transportation in a place like this. The boat followed the flow of the lake and slowly made its way to the Half-Sunken Island …
"There are many lake creatures living on the island. Be careful," Zhong Li reminded the team.
Zhong Li had discovered the Half-Sunken Island a year and a half ago. There were invisible whirlpools close to the lake. Some Hunters' boats had sunk into the island before.
After stepping onto the half-sunken island, they passed through a dense safflower forest. Standing on the slope of the island, they could see that this island covered with many plants was slowly extending into the lake along a slope. Under the tranquil lake, there was a huge shadow, which was the other half of this island.
"Look out!" Big Nose suddenly blurted out in a panic.
Zhong Li was leading the way. He immediately backed away in fear.
Gu Ying was bold enough to step forward and sweep the plants away. She glanced at the thing that made the big-nosed man panic and said, "Stop making a fuss. Can't you see that it's a dead thing?"
Zhong Li took a closer look and realized it was the corpse of a Lizard Beast. Some flies were circling it. It had been dead for some time.
The group continued forward after stepping over the corpse. They soon saw the corpse of another Lizard Beast. This one was in a worse state. Even its bones were exposed.
"What's going on? Why are so many Lizard Beasts dead?" Xie Hao asked in confusion.
The closer they were to the lake, the more corpses they saw. There was no place for them to stand on. The place was full of corpses and skeletons!
"Wow, there's even more in the water. It's all white!" Zhong Li leaned forward and almost jumped up.
There was a line halfway across the island. Above the line were mostly half-rotten corpses, but below the line, the area soaked in water was full of white skeletons. The Foehn Hunter Squad was familiar with the Lizard Beasts, so they were certain they were the corpses of the Lizard Beasts.
"I think we should leave this place as soon as possible and report this to Yang Ning," Gu Ying said with a frown.
The fact that there were so many skeletons meant that there was something terrifying on this half-sunken island. That thing was constantly hunting the lizard beasts and dragging them here to eat.
"I … I think so too." Xie Hao was already trembling with fear.
The few of them turned around and left. Just as they stepped into the island's safflower forest, a cold gust of wind suddenly surged behind them, hitting their bodies.
The strong wind mixed with the cold lake water, drenching his body even more. Zhong Li looked back and was surprised to see a wriggling body in the lake, crawling out from under the water and onto the island …
It had dark blue lizard skin, but for some reason, as soon as it crawled out of the water and came into contact with the air, its dark blue skin suddenly turned blood-red. That demonic red made people feel as if thick blood was constantly dripping on its body and flowing slowly.
"It's … it's a Carnage Poisonous Salamander! My Heavens! Run! "Zhong Li's limbs turned weak when he saw the creature's true appearance!
The Carnage Poisonous Salamander was the cruelest Commander-level creature among the Lizard Beasts. Zhong Li's teacher was a Hunter. His body was festering, and he was blind. Every time he visited him, the middle-aged Hunter would be immersed in the painful memories of the Carnage Poisonous Salamander!
The terrifying thing about the Carnage Poisonous Salamander was that it had two forms. The first form was in the water. Its dark blue skin allowed it to conceal itself in the water. Sometimes, people would not be able to sense its presence even when it was extremely close to them, as its skin allowed it to merge with the water.
The second form would appear in the air. Once it came into contact with the air, its skin would undergo a huge change and produce a strong toxin. Even the slightest contact with its venom would cause the person to feel extremely itchy. The festering of the middle-aged Hunter Zhong Li was not caused by the venom, but by the Hunter himself. Until now, no one had found a way to cure the venom!
Zhong Li had seen his teacher's face when the poison was acting up. The man had the urge to tear his own skin off. Zhong Li believed it was only a matter of time before his teacher took his own life under the torture …
The Foehn Hunter Squad had no intention of turning around to fight the creature. After all, it was a Commander-level creature!
The Carnage Poisonous Salamander started crawling on all fours after it came out of the water. It was fairly quick, and arrived at the safflower forest in the blink of an eye!
"What should we do? What should we do!?" Xie Hao screamed.
"We should have left long ago. Why were we so stupid to go down there? There are so many corpses here!" Big Nose said.
"What's the point of saying that now?"
Normally, Hunters like them would have chosen to leave when they realized something was not right. However, when they thought about the high reward, and the extra Contribution Points they would receive for discovering the clues, they were bolder than usual. They were curious to see what was going on, but to their surprise, they ended up provoking such a terrifying creature!
The Carnage Poisonous Salamander was hot on their heels. It had no intention of letting them go. The Foehn Hunter Squad finally reached the top of the mountain. The Carnage Poisonous Salamander was less than two meters away from them. They could clearly see its cheeks twitching, as if it was trying to suck something out of its stomach!
"Aowu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf suddenly charged out of the safflower forest. He extended his claws and dashed past the Carnage Poisonous Salamander at lightning speed. The Hunters could not see the Flying Creek Snow Wolf's movements, but they could see his claws flickering rapidly!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
