The Giant Lizards were amphibious creatures. They were able to live in caves, sleep in mud, eat vegetables, and chew through bones. These all-rounded demon beasts were the hardest to deal with in today's society. Due to their strong adaptability, it was extremely difficult to find a way to eliminate their weakness. On top of that, their adaptability also meant that their reproductive ability was terrifying.
Forty to fifty years ago, there were only a few Giant Lizards, but now … they could even form a group and bathe in the mud.
One thing was for sure, the creature lurking in the middle of the swamp was also a kind of Giant Lizard.
The creature Mofan had encountered before was a Razortail Drake, which was a Giant Lizard with some dragon lineage. However, the one they were facing now obviously did not have any wings, and its size was a lot bigger than the Razortail Drake …
…
For the past few days, the three had been searching for a way to eliminate the enormous creature in the middle of the swamp.
Li Man had brought them a piece of bad news when she left the valley. Two groups of Hunters were planning to enter the valley. Li Man had blocked off the entrance they had used to enter the valley from the east, barely delaying them for a day or two.
"It seems like we'll have to make our move tomorrow," said Mofan.
No one would be able to stop the Hunters from entering the valley to their deaths. These boorish fellows would only spoil their carefully prepared hunting mission!
Besides, Mofan believed that the Xuanwu Giant Lizard would recover very soon if they were to wait any longer.
Lighting up the campfire, Mofan began to draw on the ground with a tree branch to come up with a plan.
"First of all, the Xuanwu Giant Lizard is the toughest to deal with. Even though it's severely injured, its strength is still quite terrifying. We shouldn't attack it before we're able to pin it down perfectly. Our target is it. This guy is very good at camouflage. Furthermore, don't be fooled by its gigantic body, its intelligence is a lot higher than the Magicians that are constantly feeding themselves to it. "Mo Fan used a tree branch to draw its location in the dust.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded vigorously.
The Xuanwu Giant Lizard was too cunning. It did not attack the Hunters when they first showed up, but waited until they were standing on its back. Initially, the Hunters were quite experienced. They had prepared their Magic Equipment and chosen a dangerous escape route. At least one or two of them would be able to escape, but in the end, they were all wiped out in an instant.
"With our strength, we have no hope of defeating it. But there's something that makes the impossible possible. "Mofan poked another swamp area with a branch.
This was probably the area where Li Man had been walking alone, and where he had been poisoned without anyone noticing.
Mofan glanced at Li Man and saw her pondering expression, causing him to let out a smile and said, "That's right, not only does the Xuanwu Giant Lizard reside in the Xizhao Valley, there's also a monstrous poisonous insect."
"Brother Fan, are you saying that we should use the poisonous insects to attack the Xuanwu Giant Lizard?" Zhang Xiaohou's eyes flickered.
They had no chance of winning if they were to fight the Xuanwu Giant Lizard head-on. The Xuanwu Giant Lizard was a Commander-level creature, and an injured Commander-level creature could easily kill Intermediate Magicians like them in an instant.
But it was a completely different story if he could borrow power.
Liman glanced at Mofan. He didn't expect this savage to be so bold.
Borrowing power was a common tactic used by Hunters, as they could easily reap the benefits of the battle. However, not everyone would dare to do the same against a Commander-level creature, as they would be eaten alive if they weren't careful enough.
"Have you figured out what the poisonous insect is?" asked Li Man.
"Almost there." replied Mofan.
"Almost there?" Li Man's forehead was filled with black lines.
"Anyway, we can use it to our advantage." Mofan did not want to explain further, "It's simple, we'll lure the poisonous insect to the Xuanwu Giant Lizard. Its poison is able to weaken a Commander-level creature. What we need to do is to let the Xuanwu Giant Lizard kill the poisonous insect, and we'll use the poison to eliminate the Xuanwu Giant Lizard."
Zhang Xiaohou nodded his head vigorously, as he agreed with the plan. He pondered for a moment before saying, "So who's going to lure the poisonous insect to the Xuanwu Giant Lizard?"
Mofan and Li Man fell silent. The cave instantly fell silent, with only the occasional crackling sound coming from the bonfire.
Zhang Xiaohou pointed at his nose and said with a stiff face, "You want me to do it?"
Mofan and Li Man nodded simultaneously. Neither of them had any movement ability. Zhang Xiaohou was a Magician with both the Wind and Earth Elements, not to mention that he had also learned the tracking and concealing skills of the military. It went without saying that he would be the one to take on the difficult task.
Zhang Xiaohou knew he had no chance of escaping. He mumbled, "Why do I feel like you two have already discussed this beforehand?"
"I'll need the poisonous insect and the Xuanwu Giant Lizard to reach the designated location. Therefore, one of you will lure the poisonous insect, and the other will lure the Xuanwu Giant Lizard. "Mofan poked at a spot close to the center of the muddy lake with a branch.
Zhang Xiaohou nodded.
However, on second thought, Zhang Xiaohou realized that something was not right. He blurted out, "If we lure the poisonous insect and the Xuanwu Giant Lizard to this spot, what are we going to do? We're going to be flanked by them. They will surely eliminate us before they start fighting with each other!"
The plan was as perfect as a painting, but the actual operation was a complete mess.
The biggest problem when using force to kill the demon beasts was how were they going to guarantee that they would not be flanked from the front and the back. Did they really think they were going to bump into the demon beasts just as they were about to run into each other, and the demon beasts behind them would end up enraged after taking a turn?
Are you kidding me? This wasn't a movie. The female lead of Jurassic Park 4 was brave enough to wear high heels, but Zhang Xiaohou would never dare to do so!
"Here's the problem." Mofan straightened his voice and poked at the spot with the branch.
"Haven't you thought about why I'm trying to lure them to this spot?" said Mofan with a straight face. "Li Man and I have checked it out. There's a path behind the cave that leads to a dried up underground valley. The valley covers the entire underground world, including the bottom of the mud lake." Mofan drew another river, which overlapped with the mud lake from before.
Zhang Xiaohou immediately came to a realization. He blurted out, "Brother Fan, are you saying that someone is waiting for us down there?"
"That's right, we'll lure the poisonous insect and the Xuanwu Giant Lizard to this spot. The underground layer here is extremely fragile. A few powerful Intermediate Spells will be enough to blast it open. A hole will appear at the bottom of the mud lake, and the mud will turn into a whirlpool and flow into the underground river. We'll use the whirlpool to dig our way to the bottom … "said Mofan with a meticulous plan.
"HAHA, a perfect escape. When the poisonous insect and the Xuanwu Giant Lizard start fighting each other, we'll be able to change into a clean set of clothes and slowly return to the surface. HAHAHA! "Zhang Xiaohou could not help but burst out laughing.
Brother Fan is really smart. It turns out that everything is under his control.
While the two of them were discussing excitedly, Li Man didn't interrupt them at all.
Overall, the plan was quite feasible.
