A multi-eyed snaketail lizard crawled out from the crevice in the stone. This mutant lizard is half a meter long and has a flat body. When needed, its scales will secrete a slimy body fluid, so that it can be easily seen by ordinary mutant creatures. Go in and out freely through the gaps you walk through. It is said to be a lizard, but it is actually more like a mantafish. There is a row of eyes on both sides of the forehead, but most of these eyes have degenerated, and only the one eye in the center of the head is open.
This one-eyed eye has infrared vision, allowing the lizard to see things in the dark. As for the weapon to attack the prey, it comes from the tail of the snake. The long and flexible tail has the same muscular structure as that of snakes, which can easily strangle prey. And there is a mouthpart at the end, which is full of fangs. If it bites the vital part, even if no poison is injected, the prey will die.
The multi-eyed lizard is a specialty of the Shadow Canyon, and it is also one of the several mutant creatures at the top of the food chain in the canyon. This many-eyed lizard has not eaten for a long time, and its body is so flat that it has almost no thickness. It quickly crawled on the icy cliff, and from time to time spit out a long tongue with a forked front and rolled it in the air. This tongue is long and thin, but it is full of nerves, which makes the lizard's sense of taste extremely sensitive.
It can easily detect more than a hundred different smells from the air or wind, and classify them into categories to determine whether there are prey nearby. It is called a taste radar. Just like the many-eyed lizard right now, it will definitely stop every ten meters it crawls, and then stick its long tongue into the air. The tip of the tongue trembled slightly, which was a sign that the lizard's taste buds were working at full capacity.
Soon, the wind brought a special taste. It's a little sweet and has a needle-like feel to it. This shows that there are humans nearby, and they are capable people among humans. The multi-eyed lizard's intelligence is not enough to understand what the term ability person represents, it simply classifies this taste and feeling as a dangerous but delicious human being. For it, it is the taste of the prey that is important. As for the danger, as one of the top hunters in the canyon, the multi-eyed lizard didn't care.
It quickly approached the source of the smell. It was a cave on the cliff. The entrance of the cave was simply camouflaged, with weeds and branches piled together to block most of the entrance. If you look from the bottom up, you will ignore the past because of the angle and camouflage. But the multi-eyed lizard uses its taste buds to determine the location of prey, so visual camouflage is of little use to it.
At the entrance of the cave, the one-eyed infrared vision played a role. With the faint light from the sky above the canyon, the multi-eyed lizard could see that the cave was not deep. In the depths of the cave, there was a man curled up, who seemed to be injured, and there were traces of blood clotted beside him.
The hungry mutant lizard swam in silently, it was very confident in its stealth. The flat body and the secretion of body fluids are enough to minimize friction when moving. Even in this quiet environment right now, don't even think about hearing any sound. In the one eye of the multi-eyed lizard, the eyeballs are constantly switching on and off. Sometimes flat, sometimes round, this change is regular and can play a hypnotic effect. Most of the time, just by watching the prey with one eye, even without using it to attack, the prey will let go of all guards and let it eat.
Of course, this will only work if the eyes of both parties meet. The one-eyed hypnosis is just a backup method for the mutant lizard, it is more inclined to strangle humans to death with its own snake tail. In one of the few human-killing operations, this many-eyed lizard used this method to kill its prey.
But tonight's prey seemed to be a little different, when it first came to the other side's head. The prey suddenly raised its head and opened its eyes in the darkness. From the one eye of the multi-eyed lizard, the eyes of the prey under the infrared vision almost shot out strong light, which made the multi-eyed lizard involuntarily close its eyes. The prey had already noticed it, but the multi-eyed lizard did not retreat but rushed forward, and the snake's tail immediately rolled towards the prey.
But when it was still in the air, the man it regarded as its prey stretched out a finger at some point on the closed one-eye of the Mutant Lizard. The one-eyed burst open immediately, and there was a slight vibration in the mutant lizard's body. Every time it shakes, one of the internal organs is destroyed. After a series of vibrations, the creature's body had already turned into a meat paste.
The mutant lizard that had lost its life snapped to the ground, Nicholas looked at it and sighed softly. The boundary between prey and hunter is so blurred, just like last night, he completely played the role of hunter, but was bitten by the prey at the last moment. And it was quite a heavy bite, which made him have to back away.
The last sword that Mo Ni slashed in front of his chest was so heavy that it could blow up the entire space energy stone. Of course, as long as there is time, the energy stone can still be restored, but that is obviously not something that can be done in a day or two. Nicholas did not forget his mission, let alone leave any stains in his life. So he stayed and planned to sneak into Dawn City to solve the trouble.
In the battle last night, the combat power that he could admire in Dawn City was killed and wounded. Even though he is also injured now, unable to drive the power of the eleventh order. But even if it's only tenth level, it's enough to get rid of those guys. The only thing to worry about is that after the battle last night, the opponent has obviously raised the level of vigilance. Without a surefire way to sneak into the city, it's likely to scare them away.
Nicholas knew that behind Dawn City was a huge alien federation. If those people fled into the circle of influence of the alien federation, it would be extremely difficult for him to catch them all.
This is his concern, and there is no good way yet.
Thinking about it, Nicholas picked up the lizard corpse on the ground. Run your fingers across its body, and the lizard's scales will fall off with a clatter. This kind of lizard basically has no muscle tissue, Nicholas directly tore open its corpse, took out the visceral tissue that had turned into a mass of paste, and sent it to his mouth. The taste is very bad, but it can provide a certain amount of protein and water, which can help the recovery of injuries, which is enough.
However, the multi-eyed lizard is limited by its own body structure, and the protein and water it can provide are extremely limited. The heat energy that the former can transform is dispensable to Nicholas, the important thing is water. Having emptied the body, he still felt his lips were parched. Just at this moment, there was a slight vibration.
The magnitude of the vibration is not too large, if it is an ordinary person, it will be ignored directly. But for an ability user like Nicholas in the perception domain, no matter how slight the magnitude is, he cannot hide it from his perception. He quietly came to the entrance of the cave, crouched behind the cover, and could see a faint light shining in the distance of the canyon.
The light quickly became intense and formed a beam of light. The beam of light swept across the space of the canyon, and from time to time some strange figures flitted through the light and made strange screams. Nicholas' pupils were changing quietly, and he was adjusting his vision. I found that after zooming out, I could see a two-wheeled motorcycle looking in my direction on the road beyond the canyon.
On the locomotive was a man in a tactical uniform and a tactical helmet. There seems to be a gun on his back, judging by the length, it is probably a sniper rifle. The knight started and stopped, as if he was looking for something. When he stopped, Nicholas saw him sweeping some sort of gun-like instrument against the walls of a nearby canyon. Some kind of detection wave energy can be felt from that instrument. Nicholas himself is an expert in the field of perception. He pressed his hand on the rock wall and stretched out his sense of touch through the rock wall. This kind of detection wave can be intercepted slightly, and then analyzed, and then the conclusion that the other party may be directed at oneself can be drawn.
Because there are some special wavelengths in that kind of detection wave energy, which are specially set up for those who are good at hiding in the perception domain.
In other words, the other party is a hunter.
But looking at it like this, it looks like a rookie.
Nicholas smiled slightly, thinking that perhaps his chance had come. This person is likely to be from Dawn City, possibly a scout sent by Dawn City. There should be more than one like this, and they will spread out to find their place. After finding it, notify the strong on your own side to come and intercept the siege.
Nice strategy, unfortunately used on the wrong people. The man was about his size, Nicholas thought, and he was wearing a tactical helmet. After killing him, and then pretending to be him, he will be able to enter Dawn City without anyone noticing, and continue to complete his half-finished mission.
Having made up his mind, Nicholas removed the cover from the entrance of the cave. Killing a rookie is not a difficult job for him, he just stood by the hole, quietly waiting for the target to pass by.
He didn't have to wait long, and with the movement of the beam of light in front of the car, the locomotive was already approaching where Nicholas was. Just as the two-wheeled motorcycle passed under Nicholas' feet, the prophet moved. He jumped off the cliff like a big bat, strangely, he didn't make any sound. The knight below didn't realize it at all, and Nicholas fell smoothly behind him.
The Prophet's feet seemed to be glued to the locomotive, and he adjusted his posture slightly with the movement of the locomotive, so that the knights on the car could not even notice that there was someone behind him. Nicholas stretched out his hand towards him, as long as he held the opponent's head and turned him 180 degrees, the rookie would be here. But just when Nicholas was about to touch him, the knight seemed to sense that his head had a tendency to look backwards.
Nicholas immediately patted him lightly on the shoulder, and he soared into the air, skimming up the cliff like a big bird, and then clinging tightly to it. The knight turned his head, but he couldn't see anything, so he kept going.
Although it was a bit rough, it didn't matter because Nicholas had reached out to him. As long as he catches up and uses the full control ability, he can handle this rookie without even lifting a finger.
The beam of light has gone away quickly, and soon became a spot of light in the depths of the canyon. Nicholas was afraid of losing his prey, so he fell to the ground and swept forward. It's just that the further you go, the more obvious the humidity in the air becomes. Nicholas was surprised, was there water in front of him
That's really good news, he thought.
Now the Prophet is dying of thirst.
After a while of chasing, Nicholas couldn't even see the lights in front of the car. It seems that the knight has discovered something, which is not a good sign. If this opportunity is missed, God knows how long it will take for such a rookie to come to his door. Thinking of this, the Prophet quickened his pace.
At this point, the trend of the canyon is constantly narrowing, and Nicholas seems to have come to the bottom of the V shape. The narrowing cliff gives people a feeling of depression, and the humidity in the air has become very obvious. Even, Nicholas has heard the sound of water.
