Chereads / Attack of the Dragon Riders / Chapter 42 - Lava Mad Lizard

Chapter 42 - Lava Mad Lizard

Dozens of elite adventurers, like a small army.

 

All the way to the central area of the underground palace.

 

The magical beasts along the way sensed the gap in strength and most of them didn't dare to approach.

 

A small number of wild beasts whose brains were dominated by appetite and killing.

 

They simply couldn't get close to the adventurers.

 

Often, as soon as they showed their heads, they would be killed by the ranger's arrows or the magician's fireballs.

 

A single upper level adventurer, coming to the middle level area of the underground palace.

 

It was a dimensional strike-like existence.

 

Not to mention the joint action of dozens of elite adventurers.

 

After traveling through the intricate underground palace for a while.

 

The crowd finally stopped at a wide cave with many forks in the road.

 

The traces of campfires on the ground indicated that there were often adventurers who chose to use this place as a temporary resting point.

 

Galen was no stranger to this place.

 

 

When he was chasing the Flame Goblins with Diana and the others.

 

It was in this cave that Galen's group encountered an ambush by a small group of kobolds.

 

A member of the Griffin Adventure Troupe borrowed the light provided by the Illumination spell.

 

The unfinished map of the dungeon in his hand was unfolded and viewed.

 

He said, "Reporting to the leader, we have arrived at the set target - Cave 16."

 

That self-proclaimed gentlemanly griffin leader.

 

Even if he was leading a team to open up an adventure, he still wore a straight formal dress and carried that well-made walking stick.

 

Upon hearing that, the griffin leader commanded, "Check the environment and prepare to set up a resting point."

 

The spellcasters in the team began to get busy.

 

With the help of wind-attribute magic, they analyzed the oxygen content in the air and whether there were any toxic gases.

 

"Reporting to the headmaster, the air quality is qualified."

 

"Reporting to the headmaster, no source of poison has been found in the vicinity."

 

"Reporting to the headmaster ... there are traces of large magical beast activity in some of the canals."

 

Based on the mere fact that there were large magical beasts active in the vicinity.

 

It was enough to make an adventure squad with ordinary strength, change their camping location.

 

However, the current team, which had gathered almost all of the elite adventurers of Byron Town, was clearly not in this category.

 

It was clearly not in this category.

 

The adventurers were divided into teams, each raising a campfire, spreading insect repellent powder.

 

And fixed long bright torches coated with special grease.

 

Fixed on the cave walls.

 

By the time everything was set up, cave number sixteen was already exceptionally brightly illuminated by the firelight.

 

The adventurers will use this place as the first resting point.

 

Radiate towards the surrounding area to explore.

 

Until they found the next suitable resting spot.

 

So far, the looks on the faces of the adventurers were very relaxed.

 

After all, for the upper level adventurers.

 

The dangers that might be encountered in the middle region were truly not worth mentioning to them.

 

Thud!

 

A sound suddenly came out from a certain tunnel.

 

The sound was dull to the extreme, resembling the footsteps of some large creature as it moved.

 

Knock knock!

 

The sound came closer.

 

This time, the adventurers heard it clearly.

 

It was indeed the footsteps of some large creature.

 

"Something is coming, everyone prepare to meet the enemy!"

 

The head of the Nine Vultures stood up, and his weapon was a crimson colored battle sword.

 

Just by holding it in his hands, it could make people feel a fierce aura of ferocity.

 

Galen's gaze was also cast towards that tunnel.

 

"Eh? Looks like an acquaintance, but this time, it's your turn to run."

 

The owner of these footsteps.

 

The owner of these footsteps was the large magical beast that had chased Galen and Ivo for a long distance.

 

When they first encountered this beast, the sound of its footsteps, which were muffled like drums, made Galen's team unable to resist.

 

The sound of its footsteps alone was like the sound of a drum, which made Galen's team unable to resist.

 

Forcing them to run away.

 

Several days had passed, and Galen had been promoted to an intermediate level adventurer.

 

And he was surrounded by dozens of elite adventurers, armed and waiting.

 

...

 

Not waiting for the magical beasts in that tunnel to actually appear.

 

A few of the magic clerics had already recited incantations under their breath, casting earth-vegetable quicksand spells and sealing the exit of the tunnel.

 

Accompanied by the sound of the giant creature's ragged breathing, it was getting closer and closer.

 

A reddish firelight gradually rose from the tunnel.

 

The adventurers did not need to use the light from the torches.

 

They could also see the true face of the magical beast.

 

It was a giant lizard with a body length of five meters and reddish skin.

 

A fire-attribute magical beast - Lava Mad Lizard!

 

Galen's eyes suddenly lit up.

 

Unexpectedly, the food that his own child had been clamoring for.

 

It turned out that it had already passed him by a few days ago!

 

The Lava Maniac Lizard, which flew close, spotted the ground that had softened into quicksand.

 

As if ignoring gravity, it deftly climbed up the wall to avoid the coverage of the quicksand spell.

 

Toward the nearest mage cleric, it pounced directly.

 

The adventurers were careless after all.

 

They didn't expect their opponents to come so quickly and ignore the impediment of the Quicksand Spell.

 

Just as the lava mad lizard's huge open mouth was about to bite into the head of a mage cleric.

 

At the beginning of the footsteps appearing.

 

Gallant, who had strictly followed the battle formation, had touched the front of the line.

 

At this moment, he struck at the right time!

 

With his dark and heavy useless heavy shield in front of him, Galen's burly figure charged forward.

 

With that body length of five meters of monsters, collision!

 

Because he needed to intercept the lava lizard that was coming to kill him, Galen also jumped up in the air.

 

The stabilizing effect from Perseverance Pace could not be triggered due to the conditions.

 

As a result, Galen, who had nowhere to unload, was directly knocked out!

 

But that Lava Maniac Lizard was also not in a good position.

 

The weight of the Useless Heavy Shield itself, coupled with the thirty percent passive counter damage.

 

The Lava Lizard's head was violently shaken.

 

In the dizziness, it was difficult to perform a follow-up attack.

 

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the head of the Nine Vultures, who was closer, jumped up high with his sword.

 

The crimson sword trailed a half-arc trajectory in mid-air.

 

It chopped down heavily with the head of the Lava Maniac Lizard!

 

This epic grade main hand weapon smoothly broke through the horny outer skin of the lava mad lizard.

 

A round of brilliant red light blossomed out from the blade.

 

This was the epic grade battle sword that came with the Flame Burst effect.

 

It was originally a killing move used by the head of the Nine Vultures to control the enemy.

 

However, it was perfectly resisted by the Lava Lizard, which was also of the fire attribute.

 

Under the pain, the Lava Lizard violently threw its head.

 

Throwing the head of the nine-vulture head with his sword, he flew out and crashed heavily into the wall.

 

Shaking down rustling rubble.

 

"Together! Kill him while he's wounded!"

 

"Charge!"

 

"Mages, quickly stack statuses for me!"

 

...

 

Facing the many War Clerics swarming over.

 

A hint of fear flashed through the amber-colored eyes of the Lava Mad Lizard.

 

It raised its head and spat out a torrent of fiery lava.

 

The lava rolled down, forcing the war clerics to scatter and dodge.

 

There were even a few guys who rushed fast and were touched by the splashing lava.

 

On top of their armor, orange-red flames immediately rose, causing them to scream in pain.

 

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lava Maniac Lizard reversed its direction.

 

With a whip of its long, thick tail, it sent the adventurers who tried to circle back flying.

 

It itself fled towards the hole it came from.

 

In a few moments, it had already disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.
