Getting Rid of the Giant Lizard

[ Zhou Mingrui, where are you now? Tell me where to meet up. I have a way of dealing with that giant lizard!]

When Zhou Mingrui was running for his life and heard this, he immediately felt a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

After thinking for a while, he decided on the meeting point according to the current speed and told Yan Wuyue.

[ How sure are you? ] Zhou Mingrui asked as he ran.

!!

[ Let’s say there is a 50% chance you can save us, but I have 80%, ] Yan Wuyue said honestly.

[ Okay, you know what? This bastard is still chasing me without giving me a chance to catch my breath. If you were five minutes late, he would have caught up to me, ] Zhou Mingrui said helplessly.

He wasn’t talking nonsense. At his current speed, if he didn’t run toward the area that limited the lizard, he would have been caught up by now.

After all, moving underground and moving on the ground were two different things.

After they came to an agreement, Zhou Mingrui immediately turned around and headed toward his destination. Soon after, he arrived at the meeting point.

He stopped first. When they were close enough, Yan Wuyue arrived just as planned. They didn’t say anything to each other but started to work on their plan.

First, the purple-skinned lizard broke out of the ground. At the same time, Yan Wuyue crushed the yellow crystal in her hand and threw it at the lizard.

The big lizard that had just come out of the ground felt a special smell on its body, but it didn’t know what it meant.

At this moment, its target was still that damned green-skinned creature!

[ Let’s go!] Yan Wuyue immediately asked Zhou Mingrui to take her with him, then turned around and ran.

When the purple-skinned lizard saw that the two were about to run, it roared and was about to pounce on them. However, at this moment, a loud buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The big lizard turned around and saw a dense mass of light brown figures coming toward it.

After staring at them for a moment, it found a terrifying scene formed by giant man-devouring bees, like a cloud curtain.

The big lizard’s great intuition made it shiver. Unlike humans, its strong intuition told it that the man-devouring bees’ target was it, but it couldn’t figure out why.

If it was a single bee, it wouldn’t be afraid. However, with such a large number of them, even if its strength had doubled, it would still have had to run away.

Moreover, the direction that the bastard was running in was the direction that the devouring bees were coming from.

Thus, the purple-skinned lizard burrowed into the ground without any hesitation and fled in the opposite direction.

Hearing the deafening buzzing, Zhou Mingrui felt his scalp go numb as he watched the dense swarm of man-devouring bees flying above his head.

[Are you sure they won’t attack us?] Zhou Mingrui asked worriedly.

[Don’t worry, I’ve already scattered all the bee crystals on that monster. The man-devouring bees’ target is it.] Yan Wuyue explained in Zhou Mingrui’s arms.

[How does it work?] Zhou Mingrui asked curiously.

[They are human-devouring bees. I happened to see its information in my previous life. The noble warrior-level and above in the human-devouring bee colony all have a bee crystal that contains essence in their body. ]

[ Once the bee crystals are out of their bodies, it means that the man-devouring bees are dead. When the others sense the smell, they’ll immediately start a mass hunt to avenge their kind,] Yan Wuyue explained.

[ I see. Does that mean that the big lizard is dead for sure?] A smile appeared on Zhou Mingrui’s face. After all, he had been chased for more than ten kilometers by it. He was a good-tempered person, but he was pretty annoyed.

[Well, at least before the smell of the bee crystal dissipates, that guy can only run.] Yan Wuyue also heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking at Yan Wuyue, who had sweat on her forehead and a flush on her cheeks while she panted, Zhou Mingrui also complained, [Don’t take such risks next time. If we didn’t happen to encounter these man-devouring bees, we would probably still be in danger. ]

Yan Wuyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, [I didn’t expect the life crystal to be so special. I’ve never seen anything like this before. ]

[Oh yes, you haven’t told me how special the life crystal is, ] Zhou Mingrui said curiously.

Yan Wuyue thought for a second and said, [To put it simply, the life crystal we’ve obtained is a mutated version. Normally, life crystals contain a limited amount of energy, but this one’s probably mutated because of the spatial secret realm. ]

[Both the quantity and quality of the energy have a great effect on us.]

Zhou Mingrui nodded and said, [Is that so? I can swallow the anger of being hunted down then. Otherwise, it would suck to be hunted down for no reason.

[This is the first time I’ve seen you so helpless.] Yan Wuyue suddenly laughed.

[I am sure it would be the same for you!] Zhou Mingrui said angrily.

[ Alright, I know you’ve worked hard. Thank you. We were prepared for dangers and tough battles when we came in, weren’t we? ] Yan Wuyue patted Zhou Mingrui’s chest.

[ Alright, you are right. I’m too tired to talk anymore.] Zhou Mingrui helplessly exhaled.

After all the man-devouring bees left, Zhou Mingrui checked around to make sure there was no danger. He began his get out of the goblin king’s body.

When the transparent body separated from the Goblin King’s body, it returned to its normal body.

[To be honest, this secret skill is made for you. ] Yan Wuyue said enviously after seeing this scene.

[What do you mean? ] Zhou Mingrui asked after sensing his body’s condition.

[For others like me, our bodies would be separated from our consciousness under this skill, so we would need someone to help take care of us when we blackout. It didn’t happen to you, which means the main side effect doesn’t apply to you. ]

[Also, as long as we activate this secret skill, there will be obvious side effects no matter how long we use it. Well, look at you now. ] Yan Wuyue said as she sized up Zhou Mingrui.

[I guess it’s because of my body’s special condition.] Zhou Mingrui scratched the back of his head and said.

[That’s the only explanation for now, or I can’t think of any other possibility. However, this is also a good thing. You and I will have another trump card in the future,] Yan Wuyue said with a smile.

[ Wait, you said you got the bee crystal. Does that mean you killed a man-devouring bee by yourself?] Zhou Mingrui suddenly recalled the part that Yan Wuyue had not mentioned in detail.

[Yes.] Yan Wuyue nodded.

[How did you kill it?] Zhou Mingrui was puzzled.
