Chapter 818 Rookie
A multi-eyed snake-tailed lizard crawled out of the stone crack. This mutant lizard is half a meter long and has a flat body. The scales secrete a sticky body fluid when needed to facilitate its free access in the cracks that ordinary mutants are difficult to pass through. It is said to be a lizard, but it is actually more like a batfish. There is a row of eyes on both sides of the forehead, but most of these eyes have degenerated, and only the one eye in the middle of the head is open.
This one-eyed has infrared vision, allowing multi-eyed lizards to see things in the dark. As for the weapon to attack the prey, it comes from the snake's tail. The long and flexible tail has the same muscle structure as snakes and can easily kill prey. And there is a mouth device at the end, which is full of sharp teeth. Give it a bite, even if it is not injected with severe poison, the prey will die.
The multi-eyed lizard is a specialty of the shadow canyon and one of several mutatic creatures at the top of the food chain in the canyon. This multi-eyed lizard has not eaten for a long time, and its body is so flat that it is almost thick. It quickly crawled on the cold cliff and spit out its long forked tongue from its mouth from time to time and rolled in the air. This tongue is slender, but it is full of nerves, which makes the multi-eyed lizard's sense of taste extremely sensitive.
It can easily find more than 100 different flavors from the air or wind and classify them to determine whether there are prey nearby, which can be called taste radar. Just like the multi-eyed lizard at present, it must stop every ten meters it crawls and then probes into the air with its long tongue. The tongue trembled slightly, which was a sign that the multi-eyed lizard's taste buds were working at full capacity.
Soon, the wind brought a special smell. It's a little sweet and has a feeling of acupuncture. This shows that there are human beings nearby, and they are capable among human beings. The intelligence of a multi-eyed lizard is not enough to understand what the word capable person represents. It simply divides this taste and feeling into dangerous but delicious human beings. What matters for it is the taste of the prey. As for the danger, as one of the top hunters in the canyon, the multi-eyed lizard doesn't care.
It quickly approaches the source of the taste, which is a cave on the cliff. The mouth of the cave is simply disguised and piled together with weeds and branches to block more than half of the hole. If you look from the bottom up, you will ignore the past because of the angle and camouflage. But the multi-eyed lizard uses its taste buds to determine the location of its prey, so the camouflage of sight is of little use to it.
When he came to the mouth of the cave, the one-eyed infrared vision played a role. With the faint skylight from above the canyon, the multi-eyed lizard can see that the cave is not deep. A man curled up in the depths of the cave, seemed to be injured, and there were traces of blood condensation next to him.
The hungry mutazard swam in quietly, and it was very confident in its stealth. The flat body secreted with body fluids is enough to minimize friction when moving. Even in the quiet environment at present, you can't hear any sound. In the eye of the multi-eyed lizard, the eyes are constantly changing the switch. Sometimes flat and sometimes round, this change is regular and can play a role similar to hypnosis. In many cases, if you just look at the prey with one eye or even attack it, the prey will put down all its guard and let it eat.
Of course, this has to meet the eyes of both sides. The one-eyed hypnosis is only an alternative means for mutazards, and it is more inclined to strangle humans with its snake tail. In the few killings of humans, this multi-eyed lizard killed its prey in this way.
But tonight's prey seems to be a little different when it first came to the other party's head. The prey suddenly raised its head and opened its eyes in the dark. From the one-eyed eyes of the multi-eyed lizard, the eyes of the prey under infrared vision simply spewed out strong light, and the piercing lizard couldn't help closing their eyes. The prey had been found, but the multi-eyed lizard did not retreat and jumped directly down, and the snake's tail immediately rolled towards the prey.
But when it was still in mid-air, the man who was regarded as its prey somehow stretched out a finger and nodded on the closed one eye of the mutatic lizard. The one-eyed eye immediately burst, and there was a slight vibration in the body of the mutatic lizard. Every time it vibrates, a visceral tissue is damaged. After a series of vibrations, the creature's body has already turned into meat paste.
The lifeless mutazard fell to the ground, and Nicholas looked at it and sighed gently. The boundary between the prey and the hunter is so vague, just like last night, he played the role of a hunter, but was bitten by the prey at the last minute. And it was a heavy bite, which forced him to retreat.
The sword that Moni finally cut in front of his chest was so heavy that it cut the whole empty energy stone. Of course, as long as there is time, the energy stone can still be restored, but it is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two. Nicholas did not forget his mission, let alone leave any stains in his life. So he stayed and planned to sneak into Dawn City again to solve the problem.
Last night's war, the combat power in Dawn City that he could see died and was injured. Although he is also injured now, he can't drive the power of the eleventh level. But even if there is only ten levels, it is enough to get rid of those guys. The only thing to worry about is that after last night's battle, the other party has obviously raised the alert level. If there is no perfect way to sneak into the city, it is likely to scare them away.
Nicholas knows that behind Dawn is a huge alien federation. If those people escape into the power circle of the alien federation, it will be extremely difficult for him to catch a net.
This is his concern, and there is no good way yet.
In return, Nicholas picked up the lizard body on the ground. I scratched my finger on it, and the scales of the lizard fell down. This lizard basically has no muscle tissue. Nicholas directly tore its body and took out a paste-like visceral tissue and sent it to his mouth. It tastes poor, but it can provide a certain amount of protein and water, which is helpful to recover from the injury, which is enough.
However, the multi-eyed lizard is limited by its own body structure, and its protein and water supply are extremely limited. The thermal energy that the former can convert is dispensable for Nicholas, and the important thing is water. After emptying the body, he still felt that his lips were about to crack. At this time, a slight vibration appeared.
The amplitude of vibration is not large, and ordinary people will directly ignore it. But for Nicholas, a person with the ability to perceive the domain, even a slight extent can't hide his perception. He quietly came to the mouth of the cave and squatted behind the shelter. He could see a faint light in the distance of the canyon.
The light quickly became strong and formed a beam of light. The beam of light skimmed through the space of the canyon, and from time to time some strange figures rushed through the light and made strange sounds. Nicholas's pupils are quietly changing, and he is adjusting his vision. After finding that the vision is far away, you can see that a two-wheeled locomotive is looking in its direction on the road on the other side of the canyon.
In the locomotive is a man in a tactical suit and a tactical helmet. Behind him seems to carry a barrel gun, which is estimated to be a sniper rifle. The knight stopped and seemed to be looking for something. When he stopped, Nicholas saw him sweeping the cliffs on both sides of the nearby canyon with some kind of gun-like instrument. From that instrument, you can feel some kind of detection wave energy. Nicholas himself is an expert in the field of perception. He presses his hand on the rock wall and extends his sense of touch through the rock wall. If this kind of detection wave can be slightly intercepted and analyzed, the other party may come to its own conclusion.
Because there are some special wavelengths in the detection wave energy, which are specially designed for those who are good at hidden perception.
In other words, the other party is a hunter.
But looking at it like this, it looks like a rookie.
Nicholas smiled and thought that maybe his opportunity had come. This man is probably from Shuguang City and may be a scout sent by Shuguang City. There should be more than one person like this, and they will spread out to search for where they are. After finding it, inform the strong men of the party to come and intercept and kill.
Good strategy, but unfortunately it is used for the wrong people. Nicholas thought that this man was about the same size as him and wore a tactical helmet. Kill him and disguise himself as him, and then you can unconsciously enter the Dawn City and continue to complete half of his task.
Concided, Nicholas removed the cover from the hole. Killing a rookie was not a difficult job for him. He stood on the edge of the cave and waited quietly for the target to pass by.
It didn't take long for him to wait. As the light pillar in front of the car moved, the locomotive was close to where Nicholas was. Just as the two-wheeled locomotive passed the soles of Nicholas' feet, the prophet moved. He jumped off the cliff like a big bat, strangely without making any sound. The knight below didn't realize it at all, and Nicholas fell behind him smoothly.
The prophet's feet were like sticking to the locomotive, and he adjusted his posture slightly with the movement of the locomotive, so that the knight in the car could not notice that there were more people behind him. Nicholas stretched out his hand to him. As long as he pressed his head and turned him 180 degrees, the rookie would be here. But just as Nicholas was about to meet him, the knight seemed to be aware of it and had a tendency to look backwards.
Nicholas immediately patted him gently on the shoulder, and the man soared into the air, like a big bird quickly swept up the cliff and clung to it. The knight turned around, but he couldn't see anything, so he continued to drive forward.
Although it's a little uncomfortable, it doesn't matter, because Nicholas has come into contact with him. As long as he catches up and uses the ability of full control, he can handle the rookie without even moving a finger.
The beam of light has quickly gone away and soon became a light spot in the depths of the canyon. Nicholas was afraid of losing his prey when he fell to the ground and swept forward. But the further you go, the more obvious the humidity in the air becomes. Nicholas was surprised that there was water in front of him?
This is really good news, he thought.
Now, the prophet is thirsty.
After chasing for a while, Nicholas couldn't even see the light in front of the car. It seems that the knight has found something, which is not a good phenomenon. In case of missing this opportunity, God knows how long it will take for such a rookie to come to his door. When he thought so, the prophet accelerated his pace.
At this stage, the trend of the canyon is narrowing. Nicholas is like coming to the bottom of the V. The narrow cliffs give people a depressing feeling, and the humidity in the air has become very obvious. Even Nicholas has heard the sound of water.
