From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 994
Chapter 994 Cavalry Have No Horses
“Sand Lizard! There’s a Sand Lizard …”
It wasn’t just Qiu Yu who was scared out of his wits. Even the faces of the people who had just come out from the next room changed greatly. Chen Guangda immediately grabbed a plastic flashlight and shot it forward. He only saw a large group of giant four-legged snakes crawling in front of him. Each of them was actually one or two meters long. They were probably much taller than them when they stood up.
“Why are there so many sand lizards? There are no sand lizards in our area …”
The three people who lived here all felt like they had lost their parents. They waved their arms nervously and didn’t know what to do. However, Qiu Yu asked anxiously, “Is there someone else living in the pump room? They must have lured the sand lizard over. Who are those people?”
“Don’t worry about anybody, quickly set the house on fire …”
Seeing this, Chen Guangda immediately shouted. Unexpectedly, the strong man beside him suddenly blocked the door of the room and said nothing. However, Chen Guangda kicked him into the room and scolded him, “Idiot! If you don’t want to die, then quickly copy the house to help!”
“Bang ~”
Chen Quan directly smashed the kerosene lamp onto the bed. The tattered bed immediately burned. Chen Guangda knew that the vision of living corpses such as lizards was not good. Once a fire broke out, their thermal energy detection would be useless. At most, they could only rely on their sense of smell to catch their prey.
“They’re coming up! They’re coming up …”
Pan Lu cried out in horror. She saw that hundreds of sand lizards had already rushed onto the highway and pounced towards them like tides. However, in this vast Gobi Desert, they definitely couldn’t run away from this kind of four-legged reptile. The only choice was to fight to the end in a bloody battle.
“Copy them! Do it with them …”
Chen Guangda unhesitatingly pulled out the Poisonous Fang Spear. At this time, the duty room had completely burned. Blazing flames continuously sprayed out from the room. This obviously created a certain obstacle for the sand lizards. They directly stopped on the highway and surrounded the well house. They raised their heads high as if they were trying to determine where their prey was.
“Don’t run! Once you run, you’re dead …”
Suddenly! The three people who lived here actually ran away. Chen Guangda and the others shouted desperately without stopping them. However, the sand lizards immediately looked at the wind and moved. Hundreds of sand lizards chased after them. Their speed was not something ordinary people could compare to. They chased after them relentlessly like a pack of hounds.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh …”
Suddenly! Just as the Sand Lizards were still more than ten meters away from them, streaks of black liquid suddenly shot out from their eyes, shooting straight at the three of them like arrows. The three of them were immediately knocked over and fell to the ground. However, the Sand Lizards behind them instantly leapt into the air and drowned them.
“Ah …”
Miserable screams could be heard from behind. The three of them screamed and rolled in the pile of sand lizards. However, in just two breaths, the three of them remained motionless. Hundreds of sand lizards tore them to pieces and spilled a large amount of blood all over the ground.
“What did the sand lizard spit out? Is it acid …”
Chen Guangda stared at the back seriously. If the sand lizards could spray acid, they would be powerless tonight. However, Qiu Yu shook her head and said, “No! It’s a kind of venom. If sprayed into their eyes, they would lose their sight and become infected. It’s fine if sprayed onto their bodies. They might be too nervous to fall down!”
“Everyone, pay attention to your eyes. Don’t spray venom on them …”
Chen Guangda heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t acid, they would have a chance to fight. However, their current situation was a bit f*cking awful. The sand lizards all gathered in front of them, seemingly waiting for the fire to self-extinguish. They were even more patient than they had expected.
“I have to think of a way. This room won’t last long …”
Yan Qing anxiously looked at the burning duty room. Although there was a lot of tatters inside, it could not last for too long. If it continued burning at this speed, it would probably be over in less than an hour. Moreover, many sand lizards were already eager to try, constantly swallowing forked red letters, trying to identify their location from the billowing smoke.
“Look! There’s a horse behind us …”
Li Tingyu suddenly pointed to the side and shouted. It turned out that there was still a black horse hiding under the raincloth. Now that it was surrounded by the sand lizard, it became restless. Who would have thought that Yan Qing would hastily shout, “Listen to the rain! Hurry up and ride out with Jin Maolin. The three of us will stay behind to accompany Old Chen. Now, one of us will be able to run!”
“Jiang Shilin! Hurry up and mount your horse with Qiu Yu. We also want to stay …”
Li Tingyu did not hesitate at all. Jiang Shilin directly pushed Jiang Shilin behind her, and even Colleen walked forward with her weapon. However, just as she was about to shake her head, she was interrupted by Yan Qing, “If you want to get on, hurry up. Neither of you are from our Chen Clan. There is no need for you to stay here to take risks with us. Bring you along is a burden instead!”
“Pan Lu! What are you doing …”
Xia Fei suddenly raises her saber and shouts. Seeing that Pan Lu is running towards the horse by the side of the house, Xia Fei immediately throws her saber out fiercely. Unexpectedly, Pan Lu’s movements are also very agile. She rolls forward and jumps to the side of the horse. Then, she slashes off the reins of the horse.
“Stinking bitch! Stop right there …”
Xia Fei and the other girls roared angrily and rushed towards her. Anyone could ride a horse and leave here. Only her captive couldn’t. However, Pan Lu suddenly displayed a different skill. She skillfully jumped onto the back of the horse and pulled the tail of the horse. The horse actually raised its hind hooves in an instant and fiercely kicked Xia Fei behind.
“Be careful!”
Li Damei suddenly threw Xia Fei to the ground. The huge hooves almost kicked the two of them away together. When the two of them raised their heads from the ground in a sorry state, the warhorse had already rushed out with Pan Lu on its back. But Xia Fei jumped up and shouted angrily, “Hurry up and bring the crossbow, I want to shoot that stinking bitch to death!”
“Don’t waste your energy, she’s dead …”
Chen Guangda calmly turned around. The women were surprised to discover that the three men had no intention of stopping Pan Lu. However, a loud miserable hiss suddenly came from the front. The galloping warhorse actually fell backwards and directly threw Pan Lu fiercely away from its back.
“Ah …”
Pan Lu screamed in horror as she shoveled her head heavily onto the ground. The miserable scream suddenly stopped, but a large number of sand lizards suddenly came out from the ground, tearing her and her warhorse into pieces in the blink of an eye.
“Heavens! How could there be so many …”
Xia Fei covers her mouth in horror. She never thought that there would be a large number of sand lizards hidden underground. However, Chen Guangda frowns and says, “They are digging underground and have completely surrounded us. However, I feel that they are not coming for us!”
“What do you mean …”
The women all looked at him in confusion, but Chen Guangda frowned and said, “The warhorses are over ten meters away from the flames. The flames can’t affect their vision at all, but they only surround them and don’t kill them. Therefore, I think there must be something here that makes them want to throw away their weapons!”
“Tingyu! Did you find anything …”
Everyone immediately turned to look at Li Tingyu. However, Li Tingyu shook her head helplessly. In fact, back in Korea, she had discovered that she could not sense the living corpses of these reptiles at all. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be surrounded by the sand lizard without knowing.
“There’s a bag here …”
Jin Maolin suddenly rushed to the place where he had just tied his horse and pulled out a black backpack from under the raincloth. Chen Guangda immediately rushed over and opened his backpack. In addition to some water and dry food, there were about ten strange black eggs inside. Each black egg was the size of his fist.
“Ha! It’s the sand lizard eggs. I knew what they were chasing …”
Chen Guangda laughed excitedly. This backpack must have been left behind by horse thieves. Before they stole the horse, they stole a brood of sand lizard eggs. It was just that they didn’t know if they had deliberately left the backpack here to lure the sand lizard, or if they had accidentally lost it in panic.
“Quick! Everyone take one …”
Chen Guangda quickly handed out the eggs. Although the domestic sand lizards were different from the Korean version of the dragon lizard, the reptiles that were also lizards were definitely the same. Therefore, there was definitely a specially bred sand lizard queen behind these sand lizards. If they didn’t take the eggs back, they would definitely be unable to do anything.
“You guys wait. I’ll go up and give it a try …”
Chen Guangda directly put his backpack on his back and slowly walked forward with two black eggs in his hands. As expected! As he pressed closer, a commotion broke out in the group of Sand Lizards. Each Sand Lizard was frantically swarming back and forth, and its tail was raised high like an antenna. It looked as if it could not stand Chen Guangda and had no choice but to do something to him.
“Get out of the way! Otherwise, I’ll crush your eggs …”
Chen Guangda fiercely held the eggs in his hands, ready to shatter them on the spot at any time. As expected, the sand lizards lowered their tails and began to slowly retreat to both sides. Chen Guangda’s eyes immediately lit up and he shouted loudly, “Hurry up and grab the eggs firmly. Watch out for your eyes!”
Everyone immediately rushed behind him with three steps and two steps. Each of them tightly clutched a black egg and followed behind Chen Guangda. There were probably more than ten thousand sand lizards gathered around them, which gave off a strong psychological pressure. If the sand lizards suddenly exploded, they would only be left with a shattered body.
“Shit! They’re following us …”
Yan Qing’s expression suddenly turned ugly. Although the Sand Lizards did not attack them, they stuck to them like candy bars. No matter where they went, the Sand Lizards would follow them. Xia Fei also said angrily, “I know, those horse thieves must have encountered this situation too. That’s why they stole our horses and threw this big black pot on us!”
“What should we do? Without horses, we can’t run them …”
Yan Qing looked at Chen Guangda helplessly. They were really in a dilemma right now. It wasn’t either. It wasn’t either. However, Chen Guangda directly said angrily, “Fear of birds! Let’s just go straight to Crouching Bull Continent. If the people of Crouching Bull Continent don’t come out to help, we’ll say that they brought monsters to attack the city. Let’s see if they’re afraid! Let’s go!”
