The lizard heads that fell under the crystal tree howled angrily. Their limbs were obviously broken in multiple sections, but they were still paddling and struggling manically, trying to get up and pounce on the young man on the treetop.
Faced with this situation, the friendly-looking young man squatted on the branch and said to them cheerfully: "Don't move, don't move. It's useless for you to get up anyway, so why are you working so hard? No matter what, this is definitely It's considered a work-related injury. Isn't it better to just lie down and collect medical benefits? This can be regarded as me giving you a vacation. Oh, I really envy you, the boss is willing to pay the medical expenses. If I am beaten like this, I will probably be taken away directly. Are you going to feed the bugs?"
The lizard heads were still noisy and didn't seem to agree with his point of view. So the young man jumped down from the crystal tip and stepped firmly on their heads with his two feet. After their neck bones made a crunching sound, everything returned to silence.
The young man straightened up on their heads and stretched.
"Now we're in trouble." He said to himself, "Forget it, I'm late today anyway, so let's just go shopping here. Are there any good-looking jewelry here?"
Even though he had no one to talk to, he spoke loudly with an exaggerated volume that sounded like a stage play. Then he walked away along the crystal forest as if there was no one around, and disappeared behind the rows of monitors.
All witnesses present were silent. A very tall and thin shadow stood next to Luo Binhan, staring blankly at the young man walking away, and at the same time poking at the screen with his dry black fingers. After Luo Binhan came to his senses, he glanced sideways and said to it quickly: "Stop it, brother, if you buy it again you will go bankrupt."
The tall and thin figure looked at the screen dully, and then his whole body suddenly rose another half meter. The scene was so terrifying that Malinoflas ran away, and Luo Binhan quickly pulled Mi Gula away.
"Are you crazy!" Marin shouted as he ran, "Don't talk to something whose identity you can't figure out! It might be a cannibal!"
"Shouldn't cannibals be human beings?" Luo Binhan shouted back.
"No, no, don't use your ancestral grave logic in the countryside to think about this! All cannibal species can be called cannibals, and there is a special joke collection about their race... Anyway, don't worry about so much, now is a good opportunity ! Now that the two lizard demons have been killed, we just take this opportunity to run out!"
At this time, the alarm sounded, spreading from the highest ring all the way to the ground. Luo Binhan didn't have time to think carefully - if the two lizard demons were once the guards at the main entrance of the exchange, then this moment was indeed a golden opportunity. The black-haired young man was simply a savior who came just for them.
They headed straight for the Crystal Forest. Luo Binhan couldn't help but glance at the corpses of the two lizard demons when he passed by them. Their size and appearance were even more terrifying when viewed up close. Even though they were now dead, Luo Binhan still had lingering fears. He couldn't guarantee that the high-energy ray gun could kill them before he was crushed into pulp.
The white eyes of the lizard demons stared upward, and their exposed sharp teeth were covered with a layer of burnt yellow mucus. Luo Binhan remembered Marin's introduction to the lizard demon, so he carefully avoided contact with the corpse and rushed into the depths of the crystal forest.
The area of the crystal cluster was not large, and they quickly saw the lake surface behind the numerous crystal pillars. The lake is also colorful, and the light filaments on all the crystal trees are gathered through the ground, forming a whirlpool-like picture in the center of the lake.
Malinophoras was the first to run to the lake and took the lead in jumping in. This made Luo Binhan give up his worries and lead Mi Gula into the lake. The feel of the lake water is indescribable—sometimes it really feels like water, and sometimes it is smooth and cold, making Luo Binhan feel like he is sliding down a geode that is just right for him.
They eventually broke away from a sticky membrane and fell into a pool of soft mud. The surrounding environment changed from bright and bright to dark and cold, and Luo Binhan couldn't see anything clearly for a while.
He fumbled and grabbed the gun, making sure that this important weapon was not damaged by the mud, and then found Mi Gula. Both were safe and sound, and Marin Franos was cursing after him.
Luo Binhan felt a little relieved, then blinked a few times to see the surrounding environment clearly.
He immediately regretted it.
They were in a column of air three or four meters in diameter. The key point of the description is that outside the air column is green, turbid and fishy lake water.
Silk-like water plants that are as tall as five or six people dance enchantingly with the undercurrent. Behind their dark shadows, dense scales squirm, slide, and squeeze, accumulating from the bottom of the lake to a height that is difficult to see clearly.
Luo Binhan's heartbeat suddenly surged, and he felt that he was about to die. He collapsed and grabbed his chest, then raised his hand and said to the concerned Mi Gula: "It's okay, I just have a little trypophobia..."
The dense water plants parted to both sides, and a huge snake head taller than him poked over, staring at them with vertical pupils as cold as amber.
Luo Binhan was numb all over and was so stiff that he couldn't move. Malinofras adapted well and immediately shouted at the snake head.
"Ten gold coins!" he shouted, "for bringing us ashore! Plus I'll play fifty karaoke!"
The snakehead thought quietly for a while, and finally got into the air column and rested his lower jaw on the mud. There was gentle urging in its eyes, as if it was asking the three of them to come up quickly.
Both Migula and Marin accepted it quickly. Although Luo Binhan suffered a lot, he understood that there was no choice in the matter, so he bit the bullet and sat on it.
The naga carried them as it circled upwards and floated towards the lake. It was probably not the first time it had done something like this, so it swam steadily and slowly, always paying attention to keeping them within the air column. This kind of humane behavior finally made Luo Binhan breathe a sigh of relief. He bravely looked down and saw a faint light emerging from the mire at the bottom of the lake. That must be the main entrance of the underground exchange.
He controlled himself not to look at the squirming shadows of snakes in the lake, but instead thought about how to contact Yaleriga after getting ashore. Now he has found Malinofras and the underground exchange. Although he was a little frightened in the process, things are generally going well. Once they have Yaleriga and Momolo, they can boldly run back to the exchange to find dragons, and of course Yalong - after experiencing this thrilling day, Luo Binhan felt that he really needed a summoned beast urgently. .
The air column reached the end, still seven or eight meters away from the lake. Naga let out a dull low hiss, and the lake above its head opened like a curtain. They sped out of the lake and faced the gray sky. Luo Binhan heard Ma Lin roaring with joy.
"We're out!" he shouted. "Oh my God, it's a miracle! Thanks to that little black-haired monster, he helped us kill the two lizard monsters! I have to write a song about this when I get back. Just write about a green-eyed hero who kills a vicious dragon monster..."
His voice suddenly disappeared. It was an unnatural pause, like someone pressing the mute button.
Luo Binhan looked at him strangely.
Marin's face was as white as paper, staring at the lake.
There were many creatures on the lakeside, both human and non-human. They all gathered around the edge of the pool, cheering and saluting the Nagas crossing the lake. Some even sat on the heads of Nagas like Luo Binhan and the others. At the end of Marin's sight, there stood a large group of lizard heads, monitor lizards, small flying dragons, or scaly creatures that Luo Binhan couldn't name. In terms of the aesthetics of Homo sapiens, none of them can be considered good-looking, but at least they are acceptable.
But the "person" standing in front of them is different.
"He" is shorter and thinner than the other lizard heads, and his body looks closer to that of a Homo sapiens male. He is also wearing a leather vest, trousers and jacket that look like a three-piece suit. The elegant attire made "his" face look even more deformed and terrifying: the left half looked like a person with thin scales, and the right half looked like a lizard with rotten scales. Since the right side is significantly larger and heavier than the left side, "his" head, neck and upper body are all weirdly tilted to the left, as if the two creatures were forcibly sewn together into one.
That face was so unique that Luo Binhan felt that the other party no longer needed a business card to introduce himself.
The other person looked up at them, and the chameleon perched on his shoulder kept spitting out its long tongue. From a distance, "he" gave a creepy smile, and then spoke slowly and clearly.
"Malinovras," said the terrifying face with a smile, "what kind of poem did you want to write just now?"
