Path of Light.

Chapter 107 108. The Stone Lizard
Claire sat straddling the branch of the big tree, finally regaining consciousness.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the giant slowly crawling among the grass tens of meters away, and then at Roy who was sliding down the tree trunk, and he woke up instantly.

Cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.

He didn't even dare to yell loudly, followed behind Roy, and slipped down from the tree.

Roy thought Claire slipped down from the tree and wanted to help.

He bent down and touched the grass where the monitor lizard was hiding.

Claire grabbed Roy from behind and pulled him back hard...

After a while, the two retreated back to the big tree.

The one is nearly four meters long and looks like an alligator from a distance. It is round and round, like a fat pig with fat leaking from its buttocks. Its skin is the same color as the grass. When the mouth is closed, a row of sharp teeth are exposed. outside.

This was a newly grown basilisk, and Claire didn't even dare to speak aloud.

The two hid in the tree, and Claire came close to Roy's ear and said to him in a low voice:
"Do you know how powerful it is?"

Roy could sense the panic in Claire's eyes.

Claire looked at the grass in the distance again. The petrified monitor lizard was still crawling slowly in the grass.

At this time, it was lurking in the grass.

Claire whispered to Roy:

"This is a petrified lizard, and it looks like an adult, so I'm sure it's a second-level monster. As long as it is willing to open its mouth, it can easily bite off the big tree in front of it. It's impossible for the two of us to kill it." Drop a basilisk, get out of here before it notices us!"

Speaking of which, this should be the second monster Roy has seen.

The first one is the nightsaber cub from Mrs. Winnie's family. It's so cute and non-threatening...

Claire stared nervously at the grass over there, and Roy realized that the petrified lizard hiding in the grass on the opposite side was actually a first-level monster.

Although it looked so fat that it was almost unable to crawl, as long as it was a monster, it was not something two people could provoke.

Roy wanted to touch it carelessly before, but he was completely misled by the teachers of the Elf Academy.

Before coming to the Malaga jungle, more than one teacher in the college said that the Malaga jungle is very safe. Except for poisonous insects, snakes and ants, there is not even a large wild animal in the entire Malaga jungle. There are no beasts with any aggressive power.

This gave Roy the illusion that the fat, oily monitor lizard in front of him might be a docile grass-eating lizard...

Claire said it was a second-level monster, which surprised Roy.

Thinking about the reckless behavior before, it was like delivering food to this big lizard...

"Let's go, I don't want either of us to turn into a pile of lizard droppings." Claire continued.

Roy hid on the branch of the big tree, looked at the monitor lizard in the grass with some doubts, and flipped through the parchment map quickly, confirming that this place is still within the range of the Malaga jungle, which is close to the northwest On the fringes, but definitely without leaving the Malaga jungle.

"How did it appear in the Malaga jungle?" Roy asked incomprehensibly.

"do not know……"

Claire responded.

The two are about to leave...

Roy looked towards the petrified monitor lizard with some reluctance, and found that the overwhelmed grass behind the monitor lizard was stained with blood that was about to dry up.

The petrified monitor lizard lying in the grass also had its eyes closed, and its limbs were unnaturally pressed under its body...

Although no wounds on the basilisk were found, what Roy can confirm is:

"Claire, look...it seems to be hurt."

"Even if it's injured, it's still a petrified lizard. It's a monster, a powerful second-level monster." Claire reminded Roy.

"Or you're waiting..." Roy said to Claire, not wanting to give up on the monitor lizard just like that.

"Then we'll just wait here, maybe it just wants to take a nap!" Claire also agreed that it was worth observing again.

Roy didn't wait on the tree, it was stuffy and hot in the Malaga jungle...

Although you can still feel a little wind here, the wind blowing is also warm.

At Roy's mention, the two slid down from the tree again, detoured tens of meters and slowly turned to the back of the petrified monitor lizard.

When the two moved forward, basically one of them stood guard at a high place, and the other dared to move forward. Alternately, they came to the path that the petrified lizard must pass, on the overwhelmed grass, Roy found the dried blood easily.

Roy followed the trail of the petrified lizard and walked a little further back. Sure enough, there were always bloodstains along the way. Although it was intermittent, it didn't stop...

And in some grass nests, you can still find some big pools of blood.

"It seems that it was indeed injured, and it hasn't healed yet... It's just that the appearance of a monster here is a bit abnormal. It should be injured, so I ran into the Malaga jungle." Roy dropped the gun in his hand. Grass stalk, to Claire.

"Even if such a big guy is injured, we can't deal with it!" Claire continued to emphasize.

"Why don't you just observe it again? The skin on such a big guy must be very valuable. Maybe two sets of leather armor are enough!" Roy said.

"Then wait a little longer..."

Claire didn't object.

……

The petrified lizard lying in the grass seemed to be asleep, lying motionless in the grass.

The two squatted on the tree for most of the day, taking turns staring at the petrified monitor lizard crouching in the wild grass.

Roy was a little impatient, so he asked Claire who was in charge of observing the movement of the petrified lizard:
"Claire, how is it?"

"It's still lying there, I can't tell if it's dead or alive..." Claire replied in a low voice, sitting on a place slightly higher than the big tree.

Glancing at the wild grass in the distance, Roy decided to take the risk of taking a closer look, and said, "I'll take a look."

"Don't go..." Claire didn't want Roy to take risks, so she hurriedly shouted.

Roy took out two iron rods from his bag and said to Claire, "I have a solution!"

"Why did you bring this?" Claire looked at the two iron rods in Roy's hand and asked suspiciously.

In fact, what Roy is holding in his hand is not an iron braze. Roy held it up to show Claire, and then said:

"Originally, I was worried about the weather like a storm. I was afraid that the tent would be blown away by the strong wind, and I would have to eat and sleep in the open all day, so I brought a windproof rope and these brazing rods..."

Claire saw a row of barbs on the drill, and asked Roy, "Is this the tip of the speargun?"

"Well, Abt and I found it on the Black Pearl. There are several boxes, all of which are brand new and sharp enough. I'm going to set up a few traps..."

After Roy finished speaking, he quickly slid down from the tree. On the straight path between the big tree and the petrified monitor, he carefully walked a few meters towards the petrified monitor, then squatted down, and put the tip of the gun in his hand It is buried in the soil at an angle of 45 degrees towards the monitor lizard, and half of the tip of the spear is exposed on the plane
Roy was even worried that after the basilisk's huge body hit the spear point, it would smash the spear point into the soil. He also placed a stone under the mud layer so that the spear point would touch the stone, and the petrified lizard would hit it again. How could it not hit the tip of the gun back into the mud.

Roy arranged four spear points in a row along the line before climbing up the big tree.

"Try shooting it with an arrow..." Roy said to Claire who was sitting on the tree.

Claire took out a combat shortbow from the magic pocket, put on a feather arrow, and said to Roy: "Once it chases us, we will jump off immediately and run far away. This guy should He is injured, so he shouldn’t be able to catch up with us!”

"Okay!" Roy quickly agreed.

Claire opened the bow and set the arrow, and the feathered arrow flew towards the head of the petrified lizard with a 'swish' sound.

Although the two of them were more than 50 meters away from the petrified lizard, Claire's archery skills were very good. The first arrow almost flew past the petrified lizard's head.

Immediately afterwards, Claire shot a second arrow.

This time the arrow stably shot the basilisk under the left eye, and the arrow pierced its face, but the basilisk lay motionless on the spot.

Roy and Claire looked at each other, with some surprise in their eyes.

Without needing Roy to say anything, Claire shot three more arrows at the petrified lizard, and two more arrows hit the petrified lizard's head.

Seeing that the petrified lizard remained motionless, Roy and Claire were relieved.

Roy was about to slip down from the tree immediately, and walked closer to observe, but Claire insisted on being steady, pulling Roy and saying, "Wait, be patient, it's worth waiting a little longer."

In this way, the two waited on the tree for another quarter of an hour, and saw that the basilisk was still lying motionless in the grass.

Roy said:

"It seems that I shouldn't wake up again..."

With that said, Roy quickly slipped down.

Claire held the combat shortbow and followed Roy cautiously on guard.

Roy pushed aside the wild grass with some trepidation, and finally saw the petrified lizard lying in the grass a few meters away. Although he couldn't feel its breath, and there were three feathered arrows stuck in its head, Roy was still walking. A fist-sized stone was found on the ground, and it was thrown towards the top of the basilisk's head.

'boom'

The thrown stone precisely hit the petrified lizard's head, and the petrified lizard was still lying there motionless.

At this moment, Roy was completely relieved. He waded through the weeds and walked to the side of the petrified lizard. Only then did he see that there was a pool of blood where it lay down.

This basilisk has been dead for a long time.

Roy untied a bundle of ropes from his body, intending to tie up the petrified lizard, and then dragged it under the big tree...

Although the head of the petrified lizard was tied with a rope, the big guy was too heavy, and he and Claire couldn't hold such a big petrified lizard.
