I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 43 The Chase [Second Update!]

Is this considered the initial stage or the growth stage?

In the early stages, they are less than one zhang tall.

During its growth period, it can grow to over 10 feet tall.

However, Lei Yuanyong did not specify at the time whether he was only calculating the head and body length or also including the tail.

Sakyo didn't know.

But he knew that this mutated sand lizard could change color and lie on the ground to perfectly disguise itself. Once it was attacked, it would immediately eat people and would not retreat after eating them. It would rampage through the crowd, startling the camels and slaves, who would scream and scatter in all directions.

Team leader Lei Yachang yelled, "Don't panic! Pick up your throwing axes and throw them at it, or we'll all die!"

Zuo Jing, possessing the assassin Zhao Erwujiu, saw the sand lizard's facial expression, which was very lively, as if it were laughing and playing, and was very excited.

Although Lei Yachang was the team leader, he wasn't considered a top expert; he was only at the same level of strength as Wang Hongfei and Shangguan Ji. He didn't dare to charge at the giant lizard, and instead focused on gathering slaves.

"Flying Axe!"

"Quick, grab the throwing axes!"

"Think of your families! Don't you want to go back alive?"

"As long as you find the oasis, everyone will receive a reward of five hundred taels of silver, more money than your whole family could earn in a lifetime! Take it back, and you'll live a life of luxury, build the biggest house, and marry the most beautiful wife!"

Lei Yachang shouted himself hoarse, attracting the attention of the monitor lizard.

It has great strength when crawling on the ground, but it doesn't crawl very fast, which is its weakness.

If you can organize dozens of slaves to fight it with throwing axes, the giant lizard will either die or be scared away.

pity.

Everyone is afraid of monsters.

The slaves selected by the Lei family were mostly timid and cowardly, not to mention that they would immediately scream and explode upon encountering them, making it difficult for them to reunite.

Lei Yachang was helpless.

Suddenly, the monitor lizard turned its head, stared at him, and quickly approached.

"grown ups!"

"help me!"

Lei Yachang was so frightened that he could no longer stand and turned to run towards the two level-eight assassins in the group.

in fact.

He was afraid too.

"do not be afraid."

"Paper tiger!"

Zuo Jing, possessing the body of Zhao Erwuliu, ordered his two companions, both level-eight assassins: "Kill it!"

"Yes!"

Even if the assassin doesn't know how to use a spear, it's not difficult for him to just thrust and stab.

It has great strength.

Quick response.

He sprinted forward a few steps, then thrust his spear forward—

"what!"

The monitor lizard was lively and energetic.

A sharp, piercing sound followed.

"Scales!"

Zuo Jing then noticed that what he had initially thought was skin, which was similar in color to Sha Shuo, was actually scales.

Look closely—

Rosary scales, nasal scales, internasal scales, dorsal scales, frontal scales, parietal scales, occipital scales...

Its entire body was protected by closely fitting scales and armor.

It is as soft as nothing.

indestructible.

This is the monitor lizard's greatest asset in its rampage.

Eighth-level assassin!

Four times the quality!
They thrust their spears with all their might, but they could not break through the defense. This shows that even if dozens of slaves were gathered together and threw their axes, it would still be difficult to break through the defense.

We need to find their weakness!

Zuo Jing suggests: "Flip it over and poke its belly!"

The assassins followed the plan.

But no.

“The monitor lizard walks close to the ground, but the ground is too low and the sand is too soft, so it can’t move at all.”

Two level-eight assassins attacked the giant lizard from the left and right, thrusting their spears fiercely, sparks flying everywhere.

They couldn't do anything to the monitor lizard.

Even the monitor lizards couldn't do anything about them.

The former has too high a defense.

The latter is extremely flexible.

After a while.

The monitor lizard seemed to find it boring, and with a whoosh, it turned and walked away.

As the saying goes, don't pursue a cornered enemy.

As the saying goes, "Drive them to extinction."

"Chase!"

Zuo Jing ordered one of his level-eight assassins to give chase, watching the giant lizard crawl into a cave.

Enter the cave?

Did you think you could escape?
"Lei Yachang." "Quickly reorganize the troops!"

Zuo Jing ordered Lei Yachang to gather the slaves and camels and have the eighth-level assassins supervise them.

He then ordered three top-tier assassins in the team—

"Dig it!"

The assassin wielded a convenient shovel.

Sand is also soil.

Any soil can be dug.

And it's easier to dig.

With each shovelful, the sand at the hole disappeared at a visible speed, much faster than digging.

but.

The cave appears to be very deep.

It slopes straight down to a depth of more than 30 meters.

at last!

We found it!
……

"Finally, we got it."

"It's too much trouble."

Zuo Jing, possessing Zhao Erwujiu's body, smiled as he saw the mutated sand lizard with its heart pierced through.

This sand lizard mutation has three troublesome aspects—

First, it can change color and camouflage itself, making it virtually impossible to guard against when it lies hidden in the desert.

Secondly, its soft yet tough scales cover its entire body, making it difficult to penetrate.

Thirdly, it has the ability to drill and burrow. The desert is its home ground. If it can't win a fight, it runs away, which is extremely shameless.

Two level-eight assassins, along with two level-one assassins including Zhao Erwujiu, chased after the mutated sand lizard for nearly a day. Relying on a small cheat that allowed them to recover their energy by digging in the soil, they managed to exhaust the mutated sand lizard until it was completely drained before finally killing it.

Sand lizards are troublesome.

However, it also has weaknesses.

Physical strength is one aspect.

But the most crucial element is speed—

"It crawls on the ground quite fast, but it's nowhere near as fast as an eighth-level assassin."

"It digs underground quite fast, but it's nowhere near as fast as a suicide bomber digging in the ground."

Poor monitor lizard.

The assassin was completely defeated.

After a whole day of chasing, he ultimately met his end under the spear, with no chance of survival.

Zuo Jing ordered an eighth-level assassin to cut the obviously unusual piece of flesh around the heart from the sand lizard's corpse—

"This is the 'precious meat'!"

Crystal clear.

It is different from others.

It weighs about ten pounds.

This was the first time Zuo Jing had ever seen the precious flesh being extracted from the body of a strange beast; it was quite a novel experience.

Thankfully, the precious meat has arrived.

Unfortunately, it couldn't be shipped out.

This piece of meat is very fresh, but unfortunately Zuo Jing can see it but can't eat it, which is very frustrating.

and so--

"The Lei family!"

"Must be eliminated!"

……

Huangsha City.

Zuo Jing took the opportunity to possess the body of Wang Shiyi, an eighth-level assassin. The four times his physical strength made him very energetic.

He sat upright.

Before him stood Lei Yuanwen, the third master of the Lei family, who had been imprisoned and abandoned by his elder brother, Lei Yuanyong.

Now, the polarities have reversed.

Zuo Jing said, "Huangsha City has now been occupied by my Ming Cult. Your elder brother led his men to flee, and you have been abandoned!"

He gave a brief introduction to the situation.

Then he asked, "You definitely won't be able to get out anytime soon, what are your plans?"

Lei Yuanwen remained silent.

Zuo Jing laughed and said, "Your father, your elder brother, and the entire Lei family have never taken your wife and children seriously, nor have they taken you seriously. As early as when they gave away the treasure meat, the Lei family sent experts to track them down. Did they think the Ming Cult was unaware of this? We just wanted to know the location of the Lei family's blessed land, so we kept quiet."

In fact, Zuo Jing had no idea whether the Lei family had sent anyone to track them down.

he does not know.

Lei Yuanwen already knew?
Whether Lei Yuanwen knows it or not, it's always good to give him a good talking-to at this time.

Jiang Yun is your wife.

"Lei Chengen is your flesh and blood."

"The Lei family, however, didn't care at all."

"They don't care, but don't you care either?"

Zuo Jing appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, earnestly persuading him: "Since the Lei family doesn't care about you and has abandoned you, why not join my Ming Cult and work together to accomplish great things?"

……

　Don't believe him, he's lying!
