Author: Reading hurts the eyes

After everyone entered the water, the fire ladybugs also chased after them, but the larvae of the overlord salamander was not seen yet.

And those fire ladybugs were indeed afraid of water as they expected, and countless blue fireballs floated and hovered three or four meters above the underground lake.

Luo Zihang could clearly feel the heat wave coming from above, and the lake water on his face was quickly evaporating. He could even feel that his originally wet hair was getting dry again.

"Everyone, be careful! Be ready to take a deep breath and dive into the water at any time!" Luo Zihang reminded loudly while paddling his limbs.

"They shouldn't dare to come down, right? Fire and water are incompatible!"

A senior student probably thought that he would be safe after entering the water. He did not take Luo Zihang's warning seriously. Instead, he grinned, scooped up a handful of water with his palm, and threw it at the fireball above.

go.

This idiot!

Luo Zihang looked at the senior student speechlessly. There was no such plot in the novel, because the idiot who ran to provoke Fire Ladybug was burned to death long ago in the original novel and had no chance to enter this cave.

It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. Luo Zihang ignored this senior who was seeking death, and continued to paddle his limbs vigorously, trying to stay away from the group of fire ladybugs above.

The fire ladybugs seemed to be irritated by the idiot's provocation, and their flying speed increased significantly. After a seemingly chaotic flight, they probably completed the communication, and then they started to communicate with each other as described in the novel.

The same thing, all came together to form a huge blue fireball.

Then, like Kakarot's energy bomb, this huge fireball fell towards the underground lake.

"You idiot!" Acheng and several students with a bad temper yelled loudly.

Others didn't know that the fire ladybugs would do this sooner or later. In their eyes, it was the senior's active provocation that made these fire ladybugs use this method of mutual destruction.

Luo Zihang was not too panicked, because he knew that as long as he got into the water, he would be fine. In addition, his lung capacity was very strong now, so before diving, he even had the time to see if there was anyone who was not good at water and needed help.

Because of the "Ladybug Vitality Bomb", even if Luo Zihang and the others dived underwater, they could still clearly see the environment about ten meters away. They could see several strange fish with completely degraded eyes swimming by below from time to time...

And the overlord salamander larvae that attacked them.

Hey! Why is this guy here too?!

Luo Zihang looked at the little bully newt running toward him with a fierce look, and felt somewhat depressed...

If I had known earlier, I would have killed him with a gun like in the original plot.

Faced with the Overlord Salamander swimming towards him at a rapid speed, Luo Zihang did not panic. His water ability could not be said to be very good, but his long breath and the skills accumulated from multiple copies gave him full confidence to face this "only" one.

Mido's "little guy".

Luo Zihang tightened his grip on the dagger that had previously cut the tongue of the Overlord Salamander. He saw the right moment, and when the opponent was about to bite him, he kicked his legs and waved his free arm, narrowly avoiding its sharp edge.

teeth, and then stabbed the opponent's eye with a backhand knife. Before the Overlord Salamander went crazy, he kicked it on its side, used the reaction force to pull out the dagger, and retreated a distance.

When Luo Zihang swam away, the overlord salamander with injured eyes began to wave its limbs and tail crazily, stirring the lake water in all directions. In the end, it pushed Luo Zihang further away.

At this time, several border guards also saw the situation on Luo Zihang's side and swam toward him with their limbs.

However, their swimming speed was still not as fast as that of amphibians like the Overlord Salamander. After venting their anger like crazy, the other party pursued Luo Zihang relentlessly again.

The resistance in the water was too great, and it was still not easy to use after all. After Luo Zihang fought with the Overlord Salamander for two or three rounds, he was still inevitably slapped by it with its tail.

But because he was in the water, Luo Zihang didn't feel how heavy it was...

Of course it still hurts a little bit, but...

That's it.

Luo Zihang, who was confident in his heart, became more calm. In this way, he only needed to be careful not to be bitten by the Overlord Salamander.

Then he glanced at the opponent's limbs that were obviously unable to tickle his back, quickly swung his legs, and took the initiative to face the Overlord Salamander.

Luo Zihang once again avoided the overlord salamander's bite, then reached out and pulled at the side of its head, and then the force traveled to the side of its blind eye.

However, as a creature that lives in dark caves all year round, the Overlord Salamander does not rely entirely on sight to catch prey, so it turned its head almost at the same time and bit Luo Zihang's arm that had not retracted.

Luo Zihang's reaction was fast enough. He twisted his body suddenly and avoided the Overlord Salamander's attack. However, his plan to climb on the opponent's back was ruined.

The two sides returned to the previous state again, but after this period of strenuous exercise, Luo Zihang began to feel insufficient oxygen, no matter how strong his lung capacity was.

So Luo Zihang could only struggle with the Overlord Salamander while enduring the scalding lake water above and move as close to the shore as possible...

At this time, the fire ladybugs were almost dead, and the water surface was no longer dangerous, but in contrast, the surrounding visibility was also rapidly declining.

Fortunately, at this time, the border guards had also arrived nearby, and the flashlights in their hands provided some light to prevent Luo Zihang from becoming blind.

It's a pity that the range that the flashlight beam can illuminate is still too small. After losing the light source of the fire ladybug, Luo Zihang couldn't see the movements of the overlord salamander at all, so he was still inevitably caught by the overlord salamander with its sharp

His claws scratched his arm. If Luo Zihang hadn't reacted quickly, his entire arm would have been bitten off by the Overlord Salamander.

Luo Zihang endured the pain in his arm, paddled a few times with all his strength, and finally got his head out of the water before the breath he was holding ran out.

At this time, the Overlord Salamander was also entangled by the border guards and had no time to pursue him.

After Luo Zihang came out of the water and took two deep breaths, he took a deep breath, grabbed the dagger, turned around and stabbed it back...

Even with his lung capacity, he couldn't hold it back. Those border guards would definitely not be able to hold on for long. Even if the opponent was just a copy of the NPC, Luo Zihang couldn't watch them sacrifice with peace of mind.

But when he swam back, he found that the overlord salamander was already scarred...

After all, the opponent is just a larvae over one meter long. In terms of size alone, it is not even as good as a normal adult. Therefore, faced with the siege of four capable border guards, this overlord salamander is at a disadvantage.

Of course.

With the addition of Luo Zihang, the five of them quickly successfully surrounded and killed the overlord salamander. The moment they eliminated it, the four border guards quickly swam towards the lake...

It is not easy for them to hold on until now. This is also thanks to the fact that they have stayed on the plateau with thin air all year round. Even if their lung capacity is not as good as that of Luo Zihang, who has "internal strength", it is not too bad.

The five people came ashore one after another, and then they all lay on their backs on the ground and breathed air. Acheng came over and bandaged Luo Zihang's arm briefly, and then went into the lake with the others, planning to kill the overlord salamander.

The body was fished out.

On the other side, while Professor Wei was collecting the complete fire ladybug corpses, he was yelling at the idiot who had just provoked the fire ladybug.

The man also knew that he was in the wrong and kept his head down, not daring to have any dissatisfaction.

"Is this thing really a salamander?" After a while, Acheng and several other boys worked together to drag the body of the Overlord Salamander to the case. He pulled at the mouth full of sharp teeth and exclaimed: "This guy

Even if they grow big, their teeth are still so sharp...Can amphibians really have such teeth? Could it be some mutant that escaped from the laboratory?"

These days, various science fiction works are popular in China, and it is not surprising that Acheng would associate it with this. He even included Fire Ladybug as a possible "experimental subject".

"Have you forgotten that Azati said that there has been a legend about fire ladybugs for a long time? How could it be some kind of experimental subject..." Luo Zihang rolled his eyes and complained.

"What Xiao Luo said is right. This thing is not an experimental subject. It should be the Overlord Salamander, an ancient creature that has been extinct since the Ice Age. I didn't expect that there are still living individuals..." Professor Wei also came over and said,

Looking at the body of the Overlord Salamander, he said in an uncertain tone: "Maybe the salamanders in ancient times had such teeth? They just degenerated later... I haven't studied much about paleontology and fossils, nor am I

Very clear.”

"Shouldn't we kill it?" A border guard asked nervously: "This thing should be very rare, right?"

"No matter how rare it is, it can't compare to human life," Professor Wei smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting: "Don't worry, no one will blame you, and..."

He glanced at the corpse on the ground again and continued: "If I remember correctly, the adult king salamander should be 3 to 4 meters long. This one should still be a juvenile, so there are probably others of its kind here, etc.

When we go out, we can send someone to look for him again."

"Is there a bigger one?!" Acheng predicted with some uneasiness: "Professor, won't its relatives and friends come to seek revenge?"

"Why are you panicking? Don't we still have guns?" Professor Wei glared at him fiercely.

However, the squad leader on the side said with a sneer: "Um...Professor, our guns are soaked in water and can no longer be used."

Firearms in this era did not have any waterproof measures, which does not mean that they are completely unusable, but there will definitely be problems such as misfire and misfire, and the risk of the chamber exploding is also greatly increased, so it is not much different from being scrapped.

In fact, even after many years, many firearms will still be affected by water exposure, but the impact will be relatively small.

Hearing that the gun could no longer be used, Professor Wei's expression was obviously a little stiff. After a while, he said dryly: "Well, that's not a big problem... Salamanders are not social creatures, so even if there are other individuals,

It’s definitely not too much, and it’s only three or four meters in size, so there are enough of us to handle it.”

Luo Zihang curled his lips secretly, if only it was only three or four meters in size.

But he also knew that even if he reminded them now, they probably wouldn't believe it, so Luo Zihang simply walked aside and prepared the weapons he was going to use...

"Brother Jie, what are you doing with your senior's engineering shovel?" Acheng watched Luo Zihang ask a senior about her engineering shovel, then sat down on the ground to tinker with it, and couldn't help but come over and ask.

.

"Make it a weapon. If a bigger one comes later, I'll have someone to deal with it." Luo Zihang replied without raising his head.

Acheng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think that what Luo Zihang said made sense, so he imitated him and started tinkering with his engineer shovel.

Others also heard their conversation, and a few also made preparations, but more people were indifferent...

The main reason is that they don't think they have the ability to run and fight the Overlord Salamander, and joining in hastily will only cause trouble. It is better to just accept the protection obediently.

However, they were not content to do nothing. While Luo Zihang and the others were preparing their weapons, the few people who did not plan to join the war rested for a while and looked around for a way out.

They circled the underground lake and soon found a gap. The lake water flowed out along this gap. This waterway was a cave seven or eight meters high. The lower part was completely submerged in water and there was no way.

Go, if you want to move forward, you can only swim out of the water.

"I'll take the lead!" The senior who had gotten into trouble before volunteered and swam to the gap first.

Luo Zihang didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he glanced subconsciously, he suddenly found a huge black shadow under the water approaching the senior...
