The lizards launched another fierce attack. The crazy black lizards hysterically hit the wooden shield, and the terrible hissing sound echoed in the forest.
They were like a group of dead soldiers, fearless and brave.
"Attack!"
Drax observed the intervals between the lizards' attacks and judged the best time to attack. Under his command, a row of short spears stabbed into the bodies of more than ten lizards.
These lizards had just been severely injured, and immediately other lizards bit their tails from behind and dragged them back. Almost at the same time, a new batch rushed up.
The number of dead lizards increased, and more and more lizards were devoured by their own kind, but the offensive did not weaken at all, but became more and more fierce. As time went on, everyone's physical strength was rapidly consumed.
A student shouted with difficulty: "I can't hold it back any longer!"
"I can't hold it back any longer!"
Finally, in a collision, the policeman surnamed Chen couldn't bear the heavy impact. He was weak and couldn't resist the attack. The wooden shield was knocked open, and immediately a deadly tongue pierced deeply into his chest and embedded in his flesh.
Xiao Chen was horrified, blood flowed from his mouth and nose. He threw away the wooden shield and the short spear, and tried to pull out the tongue full of barbs, but before he could exert force, the tongue suddenly contracted and pulled him over, and several lizards immediately pounced on him.
Huang Jianmin shouted angrily: "Xiao Chen, no!"
The moment Xiao Chen was pulled out, a gap immediately appeared in the iron-like defense. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly wanted to remedy it, but it was too late. Instead, more places were exposed in panic.
The gray lizards obviously would not give up this opportunity. They quickly gathered together and charged towards the gap.
At this critical moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Teacher Ophelia, use the Explosion!"
Ophelia heard the call without hesitation, and saw the Explosion Ring burst into a dazzling red light. The air seemed to heat up in an instant, and countless tiny red light spots appeared out of thin air. There was a magical force in the dark that was pulling them together in Ophelia's palm.
In less than three seconds, the red light spots condensed together to form an orange-red fireball the size of a football, which slowly compressed and became only the size of a fist.
Thumb-sized bulges continued to emerge on the surface, releasing a large amount of light and heat, which seemed very unstable.
"Go!"
Ophelia's mind moved, and the irregularly shaped red fireball flew out with a whistling sound, tearing through the night and leaving a red parabola, and fell in the middle of a group of lizards.
With a loud bang that shook the earth, everyone felt tinnitus and dizziness. The bright light instantly burst out a lot of light and heat, and the small forest was illuminated as if it were daytime.
The explosion created a huge deep pit with a diameter of five meters. More than a dozen gray lizards in this area were blown to pieces, and dozens of surrounding lizards were affected by the flames and shock waves. Most of them were thrown out and suffered varying degrees of damage.
Strong winds mixed with hot breath rolled in, and everyone's ears were still buzzing and had not recovered. Everyone except Drax opened their eyes wide, with shock on their faces.
And the creator of this masterpiece, Ophelia, never thought that the destructive power of this small ring on her hand was three times more than that of a rocket launcher. It was too sensational.
After Ophelia was shocked, she thought with a trembling heart: "Such a powerful ring equipment, Drax didn't use it himself, but gave it to me for self-defense... Does this mean that he cares about me very much?"
After releasing all its power, the luster of the Explosion Ring quickly dimmed and became no different from an ordinary ring. It takes 48 hours of energy absorption before the Explosion can be used again.
This is the only flaw of the magic item. Although it is powerful, the interval between uses is too long.
After the big explosion, after a short silence, the lizard group boiled again, biting the injured and dead ones frantically, and the scene became chaotic.
Seeing this, Drax raised his long knife and shouted: "It's almost done, everyone follow me to kill!"
At this time, several lizards pounced on him at the same time. He jumped out like a cheetah, and the knife flashed in the air. The lizards screamed and broke into two halves when they landed.
The lizards found that this lone human was like chicken blood, and became more excited and violent. They attacked him one after another. Even Drax felt great pressure.
Blake roared and rushed out, holding a shield in his left hand and petrifying his right hand. His football-sized rock fist smashed one lizard after another into meat patties.
His appearance diverted the attention of some lizards. Drax took advantage of the pressure to ease and rushed to Xiao Chen quickly, killing the surrounding lizards with a few knives.
Although it was only a few seconds, it was too late. The body on the ground was already broken. Now even the gods could not save it.
"Kill!"
Cassius entered a frenzy state and rushed out with a huge battle axe. Ophelia and Seraphina followed closely behind. Everyone simply put down the wooden shields, picked up weapons and rushed out to fight fierce hand-to-hand combat with the lizards.
Their fighting power was very good. Each of them had no pressure to fight against one or two lizards. With mutual cooperation and cover, they fought their way through the lizards.
Everyone fought desperately, and everyone showed amazing courage. The lizards had eaten a large number of their own kind, and most of them were full. Especially after suffering from the terrifying explosion of fire, they would feel fear even if they were fearless.
Therefore, facing this round of counterattack by humans, their momentum quickly weakened.
I don't know which one took the lead, and the lizards turned around and fled into the woods. A few lizards that were not full were still fighting, but their numbers were not enough to pose a threat.
And the people continued to absorb the essence, and they became more and more courageous. It didn't take long for them to eliminate the remaining lizards.
Although this battle was fierce, it was surprisingly smooth. The only one who was killed was the policeman named Chen who had a hot temper.
At this moment, he was almost a pile of rotten meat. His left leg was completely bitten off, and his right leg was also covered with wounds, exposing bones. There was a hole in his abdomen, and his internal organs were damaged in many places. An intestine was pulled out of his body for more than half a meter. The flesh on half of his face was gone, but his eyes were still open, looking miserable.
He couldn't speak, and his eyes revealed incomparable fear.
Huang Jianmin sighed and said, "Xiao Chen, don't worry. As long as I am here, I will never see Wang Yan being bullied by others..."
Xiao Chen's bloody face twitched a few times, and he moved his right hand out from under his body with difficulty. The blood-stained crystal necklace was thrown aside. This was a very beautiful crystal necklace with a heart-shaped piece on it, which contained a photo of him and a beautiful woman.
Facing the group attack of lizards, he desperately used his body to protect the necklace without any damage to it.
He took a final look at the necklace, his eyes full of tenderness, attachment, and reluctance... But the action also completely consumed the last vitality. He slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again, and he would never be able to open them again.
Huang Jianmin picked up the necklace, clenched his fists, and whispered with a sad face: "Xiao Chen is a good comrade, upright, hates evil, and has a good relationship with his colleagues. What a pity."
He paused, looked at the photo in the crystal necklace and sighed again, "This is his fiancée Wang Yan. The two were together before they joined the work, and their feelings have always been very deep. Colleagues envy him and have been urging them to get married early.
But because Xiao Chen's family is poor, he is afraid that she will suffer with him, so he kept delaying until last year when things got better before officially getting engaged to her. They were about to get married, but this happened... Now Xiao Chen is dead, and I don't know how to tell Wang Yan about this bad news."
After hearing Huang Jianmin's words, everyone else sighed.
Drax seemed not to have heard it, sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and breathing.
Ophelia said to Drax: "We have finished cleaning up here. We killed more than a hundred monsters in total, but no equipment appeared."
Drax said: "This is not surprising. The probability of equipment appearing is very low."
Ophelia said again: "Although there was no equipment, there were some things that we had never seen before."
She stretched out her hand, holding three smooth black stones in her palm, each of which was only half the size of a thumb and round. "I thought it was a crystal of inheritance, but later I found out that it was not. It seems to be something called a soul gem."
"Soul gem?" Drax He picked up a stone and looked at it for a few times, revealing a hint of surprise, "Sure enough, this is really a soul gem! Great, this thing is very precious and very useful."
Ophelia asked: "Isn't this just a piece of stone? Is it useful?"
Drax took a soul gem and held it in his hand, while holding up the bone blade and said: "Of course. Look at my knife carefully, see it clearly."
Ophelia's eyes fell on the bone blade. After a few days of use, many small gaps appeared on the blade, and the surface stained with various blood was also full of scratches and black burned by flames.
In just a few days, a sharp weapon has become like this, which shows how fierce Drax's battle is!
Drax held the soul gem, and the gem glowed faintly, emitting a wisp of black gas. These gases seemed to have spirituality, gradually covering the blade, and a magical scene appeared. The gaps on the blade were gradually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blade once again bloomed with a fascinating cold light, as if it had never been damaged.
The size of the soul gem was slightly reduced.
Han Kexin's eyes lit up, "So that's how it is, its function is to repair damaged equipment!"
"This is one of the most basic functions." Drax looked at the purple-black stone in his hand, "It must be more useful than you think."
