Chapter 107: The Returning Giant Lizard

Page 1/3

Yu Yan was deep in thought when suddenly a chill ran through her entire body! A sense of danger surged in her heart.

It turned out that one of the seventh-rank monsters had stealthily crept back while the ninth-rank leader was off guard. These earth-tier dungeon monsters resembled the Komodo dragons from the world before the dungeon’s arrival. However, their long tails and backs were covered with dense, razor-sharp bone spines.

Their vertical, sapphire-blue pupils were icy and bloodthirsty. Let’s just call them giant lizards!

The giant lizard that had sneaked back was the smallest among them.

But its awakened racial talent was unlike any other in its clan.

Others specialized in poison or used their long tails combined with skills to deliver lethal attacks. Its tail was only half the length of the leader’s and lacked the soul-destroying venom that coated the spines.

However, its racial talent was a passive treasure-seeking ability.

From the day it was born, it could sense treasures within a ten-kilometer radius.

As it grew bigger, the range of its skill expanded.

Now, as a seventh-rank earth-tier, no treasure within a hundred miles could evade its detection. It could even faintly sense treasure locations within a thousand miles! Thanks to this ability, it had obtained many valuable items over the years.

Though its combat power was inferior to its siblings and elders in the clan,

When it came to advancement speed alone, it was a standout!

Even the clan leader—the ninth-rank giant lizard—seemed to notice this and often followed it around, only to have the leader snatch away most of its treasures when it wasn’t paying attention.

That was why it had secretly crept back this time, hiding from the leader.

Its treasure-seeking skill told it that there were countless treasures here.

If it could get hold of these treasures, it would become the clan’s first giant lizard to ascend to the celestial tier!

This was an irresistible temptation.

Once it ascended to the celestial tier, it would become the clan leader. The rank gap between celestial and earth tiers was so great that it could roam freely within this S-rank dungeon, no longer fearing death from clan infighting or other earth-tier monsters’ minions.

The giant lizard flicked out its long, forked tongue, carefully discerning faint scents in the air.

It knew these treasures were inseparable from the two insignificant leader ants nearby.

Once it found those two little ants, it could find the treasures!

Yu Yan: “……”

One after another, these dungeon monsters really treated her like meat on a chopping block, thinking they could covet her as they pleased?

Yu Yan didn’t know the true reason why this giant lizard had returned but could feel that it was coming for her. In her previous life, she was just an invisible nobody. The only high-level dungeon she had entered was the A-rank “Golden Stream Forest,” which had led to her demise and rebirth.

True encounters with monsters above seventh rank only happened after her rebirth.

Before that, all knowledge of earth-tier dungeon monsters was hearsay.

She had never heard of the “Firefly Soul-Eating Sea” dungeon before.

She certainly wouldn’t have known that this giant lizard could sense the existence of her Phantom Lotus Space, coveting the mountain of high-level treasures piled inside. But after wasting half a day with nothing to show for it, the low-level dungeon monsters she had killed to lure out the enemies were simply fed to the high-level monsters’ bellies.

Though Yu Yan didn’t mind the loss, a surge of resentment welled inside her.

Especially that pair of earth-tier monster spouses, who treated her like a fool toying with her.

After enduring the humiliation of the male beast turning back and spitting saliva on her face, if Yu Yan still couldn’t figure out why this shameless beast couple would take so long to deal with a few low-grade Riftfang Tigers, then she truly was a fool.

They were clearly luring her out to strike, planning to devour her as a dessert!

Now this giant lizard was no different.

Sneaking back secretly, hiding from its companions, it thought dealing with her would be a piece of cake without disturbing the others.

Yu Yan smiled darkly. Killing a monster above fifth rank would let her exit the dungeon.

A seventh-rank dungeon monster completely met that requirement!

Since this giant lizard had come to her doorstep, she would accept the invitation without mercy.

After all, her daughter’s exit qualification hadn’t been obtained yet.

Even in a dying state, a seventh-rank dungeon monster was dangerous enough for Lou Yuhui and the others.

It was reasonable for Yu Yan to kill it herself—no one would suspect ulterior motives. The existence of her Spirit-Plant Miniature World would remain her greatest secret, shared only with her beloved daughter and Lin Zhe.

Lou Yuhui beside her shuddered.

This was the first time he had seen Yu Yan smile so creepily. He glanced sympathetically at the giant lizard, which was nearing its death without knowing its fate, still desperately searching for Yu Yan. Tsk tsk, he’d seen people rushing to their deaths before, but never so diligently!

He held his breath. Earth-tier dungeon monsters were beyond his ability to provoke.

The Wild Goose God could ignore the pressure of the dungeon monsters, but he was just a rookie.

As the giant lizard drew ever closer to the towering tree they were near, Lou Yuhui felt an overwhelming pressure. Under this pressure, creatures below earth-tier could only tremble in fear and await slaughter. Forget about counterattacking; even maintaining composure was difficult.

In contrast, the Wild Goose God’s face was calm and unruffled.

It was as if the giant lizard’s pressure did not exist—merely a figment of Lou Yuhui’s imagination.

Lou Yuhui lowered his eyes, feeling increasingly subdued.

A watery spiritual power spread around him, and he noticed the leaf patterns on the back of his hand becoming clearer.

Next to him, Yu Yan was the opposite—her leaf and branch patterns receded, her figure like a startled bird fleeing into the distance.

Through spiritual perception, the ninth-rank giant lizard led a dozen or so seventh-rank giant lizards, already dozens of miles away.

But just to be safe, to avoid losing everything—

If she fought to the death and was about to kill this giant lizard, only for its clan to swarm back and snatch this prize away at the last moment, Yu Yan would be so furious she might vomit blood.

So she planned to lure the giant lizard farther away before killing it.

Ensuring that even if its companions wanted to return to rescue it, they wouldn’t be able to outrun her killing speed!

The giant lizard was unaware of the “little ant” before it harboring such sinister intentions.

Triggered by its passive treasure-seeking ability, it was desperate to reach the clusters of treasure slowly moving away from it. In its anxiety, it had no time to think and in the blink of an eye had chased over thirty miles after Yu Yan.

Yu Yan stopped, still unsatisfied.

Standing on a branch of a tree over thirty meters high, she watched the pair of beastly eyes greedily fixated on her giant lizard below.

She felt the distance was still not safe enough.

Unexpectedly, the giant lizard was so fast. Even with her full Windstride skill activated, flying with minimal air resistance, she could barely keep pace.

If not for the advantage of initiating the “escape,” the giant lizard would have caught up by now.

It might only be a few miles before it intercepted her!

After all, it had been chasing relentlessly, constantly releasing earth walls and bone spikes to disrupt her flight…
