above the sky

The green armored lizard is a medium-to-large crocodile-like lizard, but its body is wrapped in pieces of solid bone armor. The main body of this bone armor is composed of calcium-silicon composites. Then it turned into pure blue.

It's the eyes of these monitor lizards.

Because the monitor lizards that turned around have become completely different from before - the rough skin of the other side, which was like bark, began to swell and become smooth, but this smoothness is not the kind of smoothness that is healthy. Slippery, but something swollen from the inside, holding the skin smooth.

Ka, Ka, Ka... Sensing the presence of other creatures, the originally silent green armored lizard slowly turned his head and looked behind him.

One after another, swollen smooth pustules appeared on the skin of these monitor lizards, and it was even faintly visible that there were blue-black spotted living creatures swimming rapidly inside these pustules... but the most terrifying thing was not this.

【Sequoia green lizard (South China Sea amphibian)】

The strange howling sounded, echoing in the cavity, the voice was hoarse and short-toned, it was not a sound that a normal green armored lizard could make, but rather a short sound like a cloth bag full of air leaks rushing in the wind. The churning sound, hissing exhaustion, and it made people feel creepy, like a ghost.

Soon, with simpler thinking than Ian, they discovered the blue river flowing behind the stone tablet faster than the teenager.

At first, Ian was still thinking, is this group of lizards too tired, so after drinking the water, they found that there were no other creatures around, and then they laid out, rested, lay flat or something... But thinking about it carefully, wild animals should also be Not so heartless?

However, now, the eyes of these monitor lizards are bizarrely bulging - as if something swelled inside the eye socket, extruding all their light brown eyeballs out of the socket, exposing the bluish-red crawling inside. muscle.

Because just after the lizards finished drinking, they stayed in place and stopped moving.

Apart from the continuous stream of water flowing out of the cave, the sound of the sea water like a waterfall, the lizard group beside the blue river was deadly silent.

With so many heads in front of them, there is a high probability that a group of green armored lizards was involved in the mutation of the South China Sea and was involved in the cave along with the sea water when they gathered in a group to hunt and raise their bodies.

After realizing that there were no other creatures around, the leader of the group of green armored lizards, the big lizard with the role of 'the clan father', took the lead with a 'wow', with two slightly smaller female lizards and three small lizards. forward.

The ecological niche of the green armored lizard is not high, and there are few monster-level individuals, but after all, they are medium and large creatures with an average weight of more than 300 kilograms, and they can still explode with extremely powerful power when they are angry-they carry If the tail of the sturdy tail hammer is swung, it is enough to smash a knight's armor.

Just like myself.

In any case, it seems that this is indeed fresh water, and the group of green armored lizards approached the river on alert, and then drank the water one by one.

A group of light blue parasites wriggled and tossed in the flesh and blood, drilling in and out, releasing a life force that made people feel sick... and strange horror.

It's just that Ian's plan may be a little out of the way.

Long-term karst cave trekking and immersion in the sea made them extremely thirsty... Yes, green armored lizards can indeed absorb fresh water from seawater by penetrating their skin, but the replenishment efficiency is too low and can only be used as an emergency.

【warn! warn! warn! 】

[This creature has been parasitized by a vicious parasite, extremely dangerous and inedible! 】

It is said to be a small river, but if you look carefully, you can’t see the depth. The river water is not transparent due to minerals or other reasons. Even with the dome’s electric light cloud, you can only see a blue and black color. .

Could it be that... the water is poisonous?

The green armored lizard is not some apex predator. Lying around the drinking area and resting, do you really think that you have never been hunted?

The young man did not intend to disturb the group of green armored lizards to drink water. He even made up his mind to see where the group of green armored lizards was going to go, and then secretly left a little source of essence to track and help him explore this group of ruins.

However, Ian has no body odor in the first place, not to mention that as a cultivator of the sand armor apprentice, he can easily cover all his external aura.

Watching the green armored lizard drink the river water, even the throat pouch at the bottom of the throat is full, when Ian felt inexplicably relieved, he also had some thoughts in his heart: "The underground ruins group has light and water, and it seems that the air circulation is quite good... ...in other words, are there other biomes in the ruins?"

According to his analysis, because of the two major storms, there is actually a gap between the ruins and the outside world. The crystal dragon may have come out of the gap. It may not be something foreign, but originally located in the ruins of the South China Sea. The leader of the group.

Thinking like this, he looked forward to it even more.

And... parasitic things.

"Ha... ah..."

But the sound didn't sound like something dead - because even the howl of a ghost banshee would not be so exciting and full of life 'energy'.

Ian faced this group of lizards with a solemn expression and a hint of alertness that could be called "nervous"!

【Incompetent-level creature · Ordinary】

At this time, their pace seemed a little hasty and impatient.

Something's wrong - the green armored lizard is not dumb, why doesn't it make a sound after drinking water?

Of course, the ring of silence can also be used. But then it's not necessary. Ian felt that this ring was because he was overloaded and used it to cover the armor and attack the great shaman. Therefore, the structure of the inscription is now somewhat damaged. Time is not available.

The eyes of the green armored lizards were originally deep in their deep and wide eye sockets, and were protected by a thick layer of eyelid. After all, they did not rely on good vision to live, and they only needed to distinguish almost enough.

[Brackish amphibian omnivores inhabiting tropical coastal river areas, mainly feed on green plants and algae, and can provide energy for daily life through photosynthesis, and occasionally hunt marine fish or other small animals before and after the mating period Supplement nutrients, the blue-armored monitor lizard tail hammer can be used to make high-quality heavy-duty blunt weapons]

But after waiting for a while, he realized something was wrong.

If he uses the power of the Wave Chanter, he can even make himself emit a fresh smell like the 'sea' in a practical sense.

Ian held his breath, the green armored lizard's perception is actually quite keen, especially the sense of smell, which can distinguish people from a long distance, and then choose whether to avoid or stay in place.

Generally speaking, green armored lizards live in shallow river forests along the coast of redwood forests and do not go too deep into the sea... But occasionally these giant beasts will go into the sea to change their taste, eat some seaweed kelp, and get some fish protein to supplement themselves. Make up your body.

This lizard is usually mild-tempered and mainly feeds on herbivores. It can obtain chlorophyll for photosynthesis by eating plants, so it can maintain a dormant life for a long time when there is no food.

Squinting, Ian's eyes lit up again with aqua psionic halo, and silver chip light.

Then, he sighed, no longer hiding his figure, but stood up and faced the group of green armored lizards who had fallen into a strange silence.
