Chapter 123 The Tough Giant Lizard
It's much easier than the first time I came to the ground crickets.
With Song Tianjiao along, Mo Mo was able to pick some wild fruits and check the bushes for rabbits in the simple animal traps. Finally, the two came to the place where they had set up a temporary base last time and started to build a new tent for the night.
"By the way, there is a natural spring behind the rockery twenty meters away. We can go there to refill the water bag later. It is best to heat it and then cool it down before drinking to avoid parasites. Don't drink it raw." Mo Mo squatted down, took out the luggage from his backpack, and instructed Song Tianjiao who followed him.
"It seems that your memory is really good." Song Tianjiao put down the backpack on her back, looked around, and praised Mo Mo's amazing memory.
"It's okay, I just don't forget things easily." Mo Mo replied casually.
"Give me your water bag as well. I'll go over there and fetch some water." Seeing that Mo Mo had already started to work, Song Tianjiao felt embarrassed to just stand there and do nothing, so she decided to go and fetch some water first.
"Okay." Mo Mo threw his already deflated water bag to her.
After walking with Mo Mo for a long time, Song Tianjiao leaned over and saw a clear spring. She couldn't help but scoop up a pool of mountain stream water with both hands. She almost couldn't help but drink it, but she remembered Mo Mo's instructions just now, so she had to throw away the spring water in her hands. She took out the water bag and filled it with water.
The gentle flow of water passes through your fingertips, and you can feel a hint of fresh coolness lingering on the surface of your skin, and this coolness goes straight to the bottom of your heart.
Song Tianjiao heard rustling sounds coming from all around, and she thought it was Mo Mo coming over, so she spoke to her: "You know what, if this spring was bigger, we could both take a bath."
Seeing that the person behind her didn't turn back, she turned around and saw that her pupils were shaking!
"Snapped!"
Song Tianjiao nimbly dodged the giant lizard's long tongue attack, and the water bag in her hand fell into the spring at the same time.
This was a dark brown giant lizard the size of a car. Even Song Tianjiao, the eldest daughter of the Bounty Hunter Guild, was somewhat shocked when she saw such a giant monster! She had caught many beasts before, but this was the first time she had seen such a large creature.
She planned to take a few steps back and find a wider open space so that she could better display her fists and feet. After all, there was a spring behind her and a rockery on her left, so it was not a convenient place for her to fight.
"Swish!" However, before Song Tianjiao could move a few steps, the lizard's long tongue covered with mucus attacked her head straight!
Song Tianjiao bent down and dodged the attack.
However, the unpleasant smell in the air made her feel like vomiting in the next second.
"I say, what did you eat? It smells so strong, and... it also smells rotten." Song Tianjiao complained as she took two small steps back, then gathered her strength and rushed straight towards the giant lizard.
She leaped forward, her toes touching the lizard's back. Its back became her springboard, and Song Tianjiao successfully escaped from the narrow space and gained a position in the wide open space behind the giant lizard.
The giant lizard just felt something touching its back, and then the food in front of it disappeared. It seemed to be stunned.
"Hey! Ugly monster! Over here." Seeing the clumsy look of the giant lizard, Song Tianjiao now felt more confident of winning, and even shouted and clamored at it.
Sure enough, upon hearing Song Tianjiao's voice, the giant lizard turned its head around stupidly.
His eyeballs rolled around and his eyelids blinked rapidly, as if he was thinking about how to catch the target.
"how……"
Mo Mo, who hadn't seen Song Tianjiao for a long time, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth when he saw the giant lizard.
Seeing Song Tianjiao looking like she was about to fight, Mo Mo's face was filled with black lines. She said in a deep voice: "Although the animals here look stupid, they have their own survival methods. We should try not to provoke those that can be avoided. Besides, it is gradually getting dark. Our first priority right now is to get through the night."
"I didn't provoke it. I was just fetching water there. This group attacked me first." Song Tianjiao was still standing there quibbling. It was hard to tell that she was in her thirties. She looked like a rebellious girl in her teens.
"According to our last experience living here, the creatures in this area basically violate the food chain rules recognized by humans. Most of them have mutated. Not only are they huge in size and have strong attack power, but even many herbivores have turned into carnivorous habits. So be careful." Mo Mo opened his palms, preparing to transform his spiritual energy into weapons to resist the attack of the giant lizard; at the same time, he did not forget to remind Song Tianjiao who had just arrived.
"Okay, I understand!" Song Tianjiao also nodded to indicate that she understood, and then she put away the unserious expression on her face and looked like she was going to fight seriously.
"Clang clang clang!" The shield formed by the spiritual energy in Mo Mo's hand blocked three consecutive attacks from the giant lizard's long tongue.
"How disgusting! I suspect the mucus on it might be poisonous or corrosive." Mo Mo looked down at the shield in his hand, whose spiritual power had obviously weakened and became somewhat transparent, and said as he guessed while re-injecting his own spiritual power.
Seeing that the attack on Mo Mo failed, the giant lizard quickly turned to fight Song Tianjiao who was holding a long sword. Song Tianjiao used the sword energy to repel the disgusting red long tongue, then frowned and said, "This is not a solution. We have to find its weakness."
Realizing that both of them were using all their strength to resist its long tongue attack and had no extra time to think about how to defeat it, Song Tianjiao became a little anxious.
However, while Song Tianjiao was distracted talking to Mo Mo, the giant lizard's long tongue actually went around her body and hit her back directly.
"Well--!"
"Thorn--!"
Song Tianjiao, who had been injured on the back, felt pain and immediately reached out and stabbed the sword in his hand into the lizard's tongue.
The injured lizard opened its mouth and roared.
Mo Mo took this opportunity to pull Song Tianjiao and escape quickly.
"Where are we going? Shouldn't we take advantage of the fact that it's injured now and give it another fatal blow?" Song Tianjiao was pulled behind her and looked at her with strange eyes.
"With our strength, it's no problem to take it down, but it will consume a lot of our energy. It will be dark soon, and we need to conserve our energy to set up the tent and prepare for the night. In a place like this, the darker it is, the more dangerous it is. We can't let our guard down at any time." Mo Mo ran quickly without stopping for a moment while explaining to Song Tianjiao.
"So you have a better idea?" Song Tianjiao had a strange smile on her face. The experience of being protected when going out without having to think at all brought her an unprecedented special experience.
"I know there's another kind of 'native' cave nearby. We have to lure it over there. This way we can not only easily get rid of the enemy, but also save our own energy and time."
"'Aboriginal'? What's that?"
"It's the giant foot ant."
"I think it's okay." Song Tianjiao was very satisfied with Mo Mo's stable and reliable side at the moment. It was worth it for her to dismiss so many brothers and sisters from the Bounty Hunter Guild. She still decided to continue with her.
If Mo Mo looked back at Song Tianjiao at this moment, she would find that Song Tianjiao was not worried at all, but instead had a comfortable expression as if she was basking in the spring breeze.
