Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

With the wind-elemental energy boosting it, Erhu was incredibly fast and was the first to reach the ground. As soon as it left the cave, it began to look behind it.

Last time, they were ambushed by the Shadow Lizard King as soon as they appeared near the cave entrance.

This time, it wasn't near the cave entrance.

"Come out quickly! We need to lure the giant gecko out of its burrow!"

Zhao Feng asked, turning to those behind her, "Have you caught up?"

Wang Zhen nodded. This time, the giant gecko made no attempt to conceal itself; its peculiar hissing sound was right behind them.

"Run!"

The three people had not gone far from the cave when the giant gecko appeared. As soon as it appeared, it raised its head and hissed, its voice extremely sharp.

But just as it was about to follow the three people's footsteps, a huge, dark energy projectile came crashing down from above the cave entrance, immediately attracting its attention.

"Hiss~"

The gecko was not harmed. It turned its head and saw a huge shadow suddenly rushing towards it.

"boom!"

"Thump!"

The three of them ran for about a hundred meters before finally finding a relatively open area where they were less likely to be attacked by the source beasts.

The three hid behind a large rock, listening to the deafening sounds of fighting in the distance.

The two enormous creatures started fighting as soon as they met, causing sand and stones to fly near the cave entrance, dark energy to flash continuously, and constant booming sounds to fill the air.

"What are we going to do? Before, there was one big guy blocking the door, but now there are two!"

Erhu was overwhelmed, and looking at the distant battle scene, he felt a little frightened.

Wang Zhen cautiously scanned his surroundings again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no danger.

"There has to be a winner and a loser. No matter who wins, it may not be a bad thing for us."

"I just have a question: where did it come in from? Are there any other entrances in the cave that we haven't discovered?"

Zhao Feng shook her head. She had actually looked around just now and there were no new caves.

"I didn't see any new entrance, so I guess we came in through this one."

The crowd fell silent, but now was not the time to think about that; they could only wait silently for the two giant beasts to fight.

three minutes……

Five minutes...

Erhu watched the fight, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper: "These two are fighting so fiercely, how come they're not injured?"

Although it was dusty there, you could still see the general situation. But after fighting for about ten minutes, there wasn't a single serious injury.

So, you two are dancing?

Was it a performance specifically for us?

But what's even more outrageous is that after fighting for a while, the two creatures suddenly separated, each taking one side and starting to confront each other. They would even shout at each other.

However, at this point, we can finally see some wounds on the giant gecko, which suggests that the Shadow Lizard King is stronger in melee combat.

Moreover, while the two giant creatures were fighting, countless normal shadow lizards had already emerged from the hillside behind the cave. The sheer number of them sent chills down the spines of the three of them, no matter how many times they saw it.

"How many eggs does a shadow lizard lay in a single clutch? Has this mountain been completely emptied out?"

Erhu sighed helplessly. He had heard Sui An say that he had killed over a thousand shadow lizards in his territory.

Such an exciting dimensional realm made Wang Zhen feel sleepy, but he still perked up and started chatting with Erhu.

"I heard there's a type of large lizard that lays about 30 eggs at a time, which is enough for two months."

"Really? If this secret realm doesn't have their natural enemies, then wouldn't tens or hundreds of thousands have perished in all these years since the Origin Realm descended upon us...?"

"They've started fighting again..."

The two big guys yelled at each other for a long time, and then they started fighting again. The big gecko was the first to attack. He rushed towards the Shadow Lizard King and actually cleared the entrance to the cave.

Wang Zhen excitedly patted his erhu: "We have a chance! They've drifted off the cliff!"

Erhu quickly looked up. At this moment, the two giants were about ten meters away from the cave entrance. For a behemoth of this size, this distance was only a breath or two.

"This distance isn't safe, let's wait a bit longer."

"But it's almost evening now, and if it gets dark, we won't be able to get back in time."

Wang Zhen was a little worried. Although he didn't have a watch on him, he still had a general idea of ​​how much time had passed. Now, seeing that the two of them had started arguing and then started fighting, at least half an hour had passed.

Erhu shook his head helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it~ They're shooting further and further away now, about thirty meters should be enough!"

A very long time has passed, and these two incredibly strong giants, one with amazing defense and the other with terrible attack, have only suffered some wounds and have yet to determine a winner.

Wang Zhen reminded him again, "That's enough, we can find a chance to slip away!"

Zhao Feng quickly looked over; the battlefield was now far from the cave entrance.

The three of them got up and quietly walked along the edge of the cave towards the entrance, afraid of disturbing the giant beast.

It wasn't until they reached the door that they realized all the shadow lizards nearby were staring at them; the scene was truly one of being the center of attention.

"run!"

Zhao Feng gave a low shout, turned around and rushed into the cave, with Erhu player Wang Zhen following closely behind.

On the mountain, a hissing sound rang out, and countless shadow lizards began to scurry towards the cave entrance.

Wang Hu had been guarding the dimensional gate for a long time, and he was even somewhat desperate. If Sui An hadn't been talking to him on the communicator, he might have broken down by now.

"Little Tiger, prepare to retreat!"

A loud sound came from the cave entrance, and Wang Hu immediately stood up, his eyes shining.

"good!"

The three of them picked up the bags of ore they had already filled and started running, while the large group of Shadow Lizards behind them was already approaching.

Upon hearing the sound, Sui An felt much more relaxed and quickly drove over.

A moment later, everyone was standing safely on the shore, and Sui An's heart was immediately at ease.

"It terrified Wang Hu and me!"

"It's really exciting! I'll take you there sometime!"

As soon as the erhu came out, he immediately became energetic, but when he looked up at the sky, his expression changed. The sun was about to set completely, and the fiery clouds in the west were no longer as dazzling.

"Is it already this dark?"

"Why don't you stay at my place tonight? It shouldn't be a problem to stay overnight, right?"

Sui An was a little worried. Not traveling at night was a professional's experience, as many source beasts were active at night.

The three looked at each other, all somewhat hesitant, but in the end Zhao Feng nodded.

"Your territory is already level 2, so the impact on our level 4 shouldn't be that significant. As long as there's no blood moon, everything will be fine."

Everyone subconsciously glanced at the sky again, but at this moment the sun was only a little bit of its afterglow.

The car drove all the way to the territory. As soon as Wang Hu jumped out, his expression changed drastically. He looked up sharply, and the waning moon was like blood...

A blood moon has descended!
