Pillar of Yita Chapter 1300 - 179: Westward Journey, Ruins and Grey-Spotted

Luo Hao felt the pressure lift, his ears aching and the chest-tightening sensation disappearing instantly. He was about to comnt on how powerful a Level 20 and above Paladin could be, but upon hearing a certain phrase, he quickly swallowed his words, only to shout, "Quick, seize the opportunity, we can't hold on much longer!"

A massive rock flew in, accurately smashing into the head of the Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard, forcing its jaws to clamp shut and abruptly interrupting its sonic attack.

Fang Hong hadn't expected Xiangzi to pull off such a clever trick and couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. He imdiately waved his hand, "Everyone, focus fire on its left abdon, that's closer to its heart!" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care if the Grey-Spotted Lizard had sixty percent physical immunity and summoned two Energy Angels to join the attack.

Once in close quarters, the Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard no longer unleashed its lengthy sonic attacks, instead using its biological instincts to attack the surrounding enemies. After all, its magic attack was high, but its physical attack wasn't low either, and with its thick scales, Bakins, Xiesta, and Elisa could do nothing against it after joining the lee.

But within seconds, Eteliria, Gita, and Luo Yu's spells were finally ready. After the battle with Fanric, both Luo Yu and Gita reached the Level 10 rank. Although spells at this level still posed no fatal threat to a Level 20 Grey-Spotted Lizard, they could at least inflict considerable spell damage.

After all, this thing is almost magically defenseless—

And Eteliria's Druid spell was far more lethal, as a thorn spear struck down, the giant creature bled profusely, howling in rage.

Of course, the conclusion of the combat still relied on the physical mbers of the sword-wielding team. Once the Grey-Spotted Lizard's Rage Scale Flare skill ended, Hilveld took the opportunity to shoot its left eye blind, and while it was in a frenzied state, the Big Cat People cut off its left foot with one swing.

After that, the combat was basically a one-sided massacre.

It's not that the team lacked compassion, it was simply because the creature's defense was too high. Even with sixty percent less physical immunity, the team could only slowly rely on blood loss to seriously injure it.

The battle continued until dusk when the Grey-Spotted Jaw Lizard finally breathed its last, and Luo Hao sat down with a thud.

He wiped his brow, a bit startled, and asked Fang Hong, "Are all your fights this thrilling?"

Fang Hong shook his head.

Luo Hao finally felt relieved, but then he saw Fang Hong with a pretentious look, as if restraining his delight, and calmly said, "This is nothing, just a small skirmish."

"Oh, co on!"

Luo Hao imdiately gave a ntal middle finger to this show-off.

However, Fang Hong was quite happy since, ever since Xiangzi joined, there was finally a new mber weaker than him. As things continued, he could gradually establish his authority as captain. The Big Cat People, Xiesta, and Bakins, though formidable, always felt like mountains over his head.

As Luo Hao sat there pondering, he suddenly realized sothing was amiss with the team. Counting everyone, the team only had two Level 20 combatants, one being the cold maid, and the other the Lion Paladin.

What made them dare to provoke an adult Grey-Spotted Lizard?

He glanced at the massive creature lying in a pool of blood not far away, then at his magic guided shield, which had been battered into scrap tal by the creature's blows, feeling completely baffled.

For the first ti, Luo Hao felt he couldn't understand this world.

The Grey-Spotted Lizard's heavy scales and vocal organs were valuable, but after the fierce battle, few intact scales remained. The Papalarians volunteered to extract the lizard's left vocal organ, claiming to have Level 1 material collection certification, but they ruined one in just three attempts.

Then Fang Hong ruined another one.

The two were consequently banned from approaching the corpse again.

Fang Hong sat dejectedly to the side, watching Miss Eteliria calmly dissect the corpse, extracting the third magic power organ, a quality C level. Tianlan was ecstatic, placing it into a jar filled with preservative liquid.

After all, this organ was the main magic power organ the Grey-Spotted Lizard used for sonic attacks. If the quality was slightly better, it could fetch over ten thousand Lycel in the market.

Tianlan then urged Elisa to give it a try, and with a touch, she extracted a quality A level vibrating leaf. Amused, she wiggled the bloody keratin leaf at Fang Hong.

Annoyed, Fang Hong dragged the Papalarians away:

"I just saw so magic mushrooms over there, those things are valuable, worth as much as the Grey-Spotted Lizard."

"Really? I didn't know that."

"Where there are Bipedal Flying Dragons, there will be magic mushrooms." Fang Hong thought for a mont, finding a plausible reason.

Not far away, Tang Xin and Tianlan, also holding glass jars, rolled their eyes as they watched the two dolts walk farther away.

As twilight deepened, the sunset slanted through the forest before slipping behind the mountains to the west—a dark mountain shadow pierced the golden clouds, resembling a slender blade splitting the fiery clouds.

Bakins inford everyone that it was the Dwarf Rose Mountain Range north of Nogness, which the Desert People called Alsoni, aning Curved Blade.

This bladed curve remained visible from the Long Lake Land's western shore after thousands of years, while the inhabitants of the desert had nearly vanished. The forr Idus beneath the Red Stone Ridge and the Dragon's Land within the Sand Sea had all turned to dust.

After darkness fell, people stopped trying to find valuable things on the Grey-Spotted Lizard's body.

Its carcass remained on the ground, quickly attracting several vultures circling above the ruins, trying to land for a feast—though the Grey-Spotted Lizard's at had a faint toxicity and was sour and unappetizing, no one would usually take it as a food reserve, but it was indifferent to these scavenging birds.

However, the Bipedal Flying Dragon watched from a distance as this group of strange people helped it eliminate the troubleso enemy below, then lit a campfire within the ruins and began to set up camp, both awed and fearful of these mysterious humans.

It decided not to trouble them anymore—in fact, it started considering whether it should relocate.

Standing in this spot, looking through the trees, one could still see a corner of the Long Lake. As the last rays of sunlight gradually vanished beneath the mountain indentation, the golden reflections on the water's surface disappeared, leaving only darkness. Tianlan softly inford Ai Xiaoxiao that in Eteliria, the Goddess of the Lake dwelled within the lake's waters.

Prayers to the Goddess might be answered.

Thus, the two shouted loudly towards the lake surface, their voices echoing in the distance, causing the Bipedal Flying Dragon to flap its wings and soar into the night sky.

But shortly after, the two were chased back by Etira.

"Don't lure the Forest's Children here."

The Elf Miss looked at the two exasperatedly.
