"We're fucked!"

"There are these green-skinned beasts everywhere, what should we do?"

"We can't leave." Cang Xu gasped, and the old man's face lost his calm look at this moment.

Seeing more and more green-skinned lizards around them, the exploration team members fell into despair, and many of them roared.

"This is impossible!"

"Lord Cangxu, didn't you say that these green-skinned lizards would go out to look for food in the early morning?!"

"It is precisely because of this that we chose this opportunity to break out."

"The group of lizards in front of us are a large group of foragers. But they came back too early."

"It's useless to say this now, we can go back to the underground cave before!"

"We can't go back. Instead of doing this, it's better to take the risk and rush forward."

"Are you crazy? These green-skinned lizards in front of them are all the strongest in the herd. Otherwise, why would they go out to hunt?"

Cang Xu remained silent.

Zidi gritted her teeth and said, "Let's climb this dune first."

With that said, she took the lead and set off.

Although they are in a desperate situation, their survival instinct drives everyone to follow Zidi.

The exploration team climbed the sand dunes, and the green-skinned lizards followed closely behind.

Whenever these green-skinned lizards approach, Zi Di throws out a packet of powder and scatters it, forming a thick green smoke that blocks the lizards.

Although the green smoke would continue to spread, dilute rapidly, and no longer hinder the lizards, the exploration team still successfully climbed to the top of the dune despite such interference.

Then, everyone became even more desperate.

They were condescending and could see very clearly.

Surrounding the sand dunes are densely packed green-skinned lizards, numbering between two and three thousand.

Most of them are ordinary beasts, and the lizards staying around the nest are basically old, weak, sick and disabled. The most elite ones are those who went out to hunt before and returned early. Almost all have the life breath of the black iron level.

.

"Why are you still struggling? Just wait here and die." Some people even simply sat down on the sofa.

"Rather than being eaten by these green-skinned lizards, I would rather die in a sandstorm." Someone smiled bitterly.

The lizards gather under the dunes, becoming more and more dense.

Soon, another lizard rushed up the sand dune.

Zidi took out the medicinal powder and swung it out condescendingly, immediately creating a thick green mist again.

The clouds of mist formed a temporary wall to repel the invading lizards.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ya admired sincerely: "If it weren't for Master Zidi, we would have died long ago!"

Someone saw a stack of medicine packets in the leather bag on Zidi's waist. Their eyes lit up and they suggested: "With so many medicines, we can wait for a strong wind and scatter these medicine packets in the wind to kill them completely."

Kill these lizards! Even if you can't kill them, you can still find a way out."

Zidi shook her head: "With wind, the smoke cannot gather together and will disperse quickly. And lizards are not stupid. When encountering green smoke, they will turn around and run away. The most important thing is that we are more fragile than these lizards.

These green smoke are more harmful to us."

Everyone was dumbfounded: "What should we do?"

Zidi sighed and looked at the green-skinned lizards surrounding the sand dunes: "I can only hope that these lizards will not be able to attack for a long time and disperse on their own."

What the girl expected did not happen.

The lizards maintained a siege and kept trying to attack the dunes, although they were repelled by the green mist each time.

Wherever the green mist fades, Zi Di will replenish it in time.

This special powder is being consumed rapidly. Although Zidi produces a large amount, at this rate, it will be completely consumed in a day or two.

Seeing these green-skinned lizards screaming and screaming, but unable to kill them on the sand dunes, many exploration team members relaxed.

They have gray beards and purple stems, but they all have sad faces.

They knew very well that the situation before them was actually very dangerous.

These lizards were just scared away by the green mist. The green mist had a limited range. If they charged desperately, they could still rush up. In fact, as long as these lizards held their breath, they could rush through the green mist.

But after all, they are beasts. They do not have human wisdom and do not know much flexibility.

Time passed, and the sun climbed higher and higher, reaching noon.

Cang Xu saw all the lizards lying under the sand dunes, each one lazily. Among them, the powerful lizard individuals occupied the shade of the sand dunes.

The old scholar frowned deeply and expressed his guess: "I guess these lizards will not give up killing us. I have already observed that there is no silver level among these lizards. This is basically impossible.

To maintain such a large herd, there must be at least one silver-level lizard leader."

"Look at those lizards. They are the strongest among the lizards, and they basically have the aura of black iron. But almost all of these monsters are injured, and many of them are serious. I guess these lizards are hunting in the morning.

Encountered a strong enemy, not only did they not find food, but they were also hunted and killed. They suffered heavy losses and even the leader lost his life."

Zidi suddenly realized: "So, we are the only food in the eyes of these lizards?"

Cang Xu nodded, then shook his head slightly: "That's not all. We also destroyed those lizard eggs. The smell of these lizard eggs has been lingering on us, and these lizards hate us completely. I'm afraid we fled to the desert.

In the end, they will chase them there and tear us, the murderers of their descendants, into pieces!"

Everyone was silent.

Bai Ya couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Zidi: "But if we hadn't destroyed those lizard eggs and didn't have these egg liquids as materials, Master Zidi wouldn't be able to make these medicinal powders and green mist. Without these, we would have died long ago. Why?

Maybe he's still alive now."

Cang Xu shook his head: "I have no intention of criticizing Master Zidi. In fact, I am full of gratitude to you. I am just telling you everything I know."

Everyone fell silent again.

There wasn't a breath of wind.

The sun was like thousands of sharp arrows shooting down. The temperature in the air became very high, making it increasingly difficult for the people exposed on the top of the sand dunes.

They were like fish trapped on a red-hot iron plate.

It's really going to be roasted!

Many people took off their outer layers of clothing and used them as small tents to prop up over their heads.

They dare not sit because the sand under their feet is extremely hot. If a lizard egg breaks and falls on it, it can be steamed immediately and cracked out.

"It would be great if we had enough bows and arrows. Standing on the sand dunes, from a high position, we can shoot these lizards and make these lizards our food." Someone murmured.

Unfortunately, almost all the short bows and arrows produced by the exploration team were lost in the sandstorm.

Only half of the exploration team members are left.

Not everyone has weapons, and even fewer have short bows with them.

This is a desert and there is no wood for them to make.

"Making the short bow was Lord Zhenjin's idea. I wonder where Lord Knight is? If he were here, he might be able to think of a solution." Someone else said.

Zhen Jin had previously led everyone to victory and led the exploration team out of survival crisis. His prestige has reached everyone's hearts. So at this moment, everyone is looking forward to a wise and powerful leader like him.

Bai Ya looked into the distance: "I don't think Master Zhenjin will die so easily. He is only temporarily separated from us. He will definitely appear and come here to save us!"

Bai Ya's tone was full of certainty, which made everyone feel quite strange.

So, someone asked: "Why do you say that? Can you contact Master Zhenjin?"

But Bai Ya shook his head and widened his eyes, with a trace of doubt on his face, and said matter-of-factly: "Because Zhenjin is a knight, and a Templar. He will definitely come back and take us out. Because this is a knight!"

Everyone smiled bitterly, Cang Xu shook his head slightly.

After getting along with Bai Ya for a long time, everyone also noticed that this young man seemed to have an inexplicable trust and respect for the knight. This level of trust and respect was far beyond the ordinary, so much so that it actually seemed a bit naive and stupid.

But at this time, no one wants to use common sense to refute this naivety and stupidity.

Because they are in a desperate situation, they are also looking forward to having such a knight who can step forward when they are most helpless and dangerous, and use their superb ability and wisdom to help them, the weak, get out of the crisis.

After this short conversation, there was another long silence.

The sunlight was so dazzling and overbearing that one could hardly raise one's eyelids and could only look down at the sand beneath one's feet.

Everyone was hungry and thirsty, and many people's lips were chapped.

Although there is food and water, the quantity is not much. Under Cang Xu's suggestion, the supply has been limited.

"Huh?!" One of the exploration team members suddenly looked surprised, and then quickly rubbed his eyes.

After confirming again, he shouted: "Come and see, is there someone there?"

This sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"There is a person."
