Hearing this, Fu Yao couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
"I... I just don't want any more innocent lives to die on Giant Lizard Island."
As she spoke, her gaze turned to Lu Chen, her tone carrying a hint of pleading:
"Human, you truly cannot go any further. The Gorgon on Giant Lizard Island has been acting strangely recently, as if it has gone mad,"
"It has launched frenzied attacks on all Alien beings that enter its sight. Even several of our Mermaid brethren have died in the Gorgon's mouth."
"Gorgon? That two-headed giant lizard?"
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.
Just now, he had conducted a preliminary reconnaissance of the island using the seagull's vision.
He saw a massive meteorite crater prominently in the center of the island,
and in the pit, a two-headed lizard over twenty meters long was greedily licking the remains of surrounding creatures.
Inside the meteorite crater, a mix of deathly silence and terror intertwined.
"Ah? You've seen the Gorgon? Then you should know how terrifying it is, right? It's a peak Tier 5 creature, super, super powerful."
Fu Yao bit her finger and nodded, looking quite cute.
Seeing Fu Yao's appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile.
It seemed that not all creatures in the Tian Yu World were fierce and evil; at least there were still such pure and adorable beings.
"Thanks for the warning."
Lu Chen nodded, then waved his hand, "Keep moving forward."
The four skeletons immediately responded, rowing the oars again.
What about Tier 5 creatures?
He kills Tier 5 creatures!
"You... why are you still going!"
Fu Yao swished her fish tail anxiously, her delicate brows furrowed, her eyes filled with worry and confusion.
"Yo, little beauty, don't worry. The Captain and I, Jack, are not afraid of that darned Gorgon."
Jack puffed out his chest proudly, striking an invincible pose.
This guy loved to show off whenever he met a beautiful woman.
Fu Yao was about to speak to persuade them again but was interrupted by Hao Qi.
"Fu Yao, let it go. We've done our duty to warn them. If they insist on seeking death, we can't be blamed."
Hao Qi glanced at the Netherworld, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
Heh heh, a Tier 4 Undead, a Tier 2 Human, plus a few Tier 2 skeletons,
with such a combination, they actually want to challenge Giant Lizard Island? It's simply wishful thinking.
With their meager strength, just two of the lowest-level Giant Rock Armored Lizards would be enough to kill them all.
Fu Yao lightly bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, then said softly,
"Wait~"
Immediately after, she gently tossed something,
a delicate seashell landed on the deck of the Netherworld, shimmering with faint light.
"If you absolutely must go, take this seashell with you. It might save your life at a critical moment."
【Fu Yao's Seashell (Black Iron Low-Grade) - Single-use protective item, can condense into a seashell form to resist one attack. (Only skillful Mermaids can make this!)】
Seeing this seashell, Lu Chen's eyes narrowed.
It was actually a graded item!
It could resist one attack,
Good stuff!
Lu Chen didn't stand on ceremony, directly signaling Jack to put the seashell away.
"Thanks."
Lu Chen hadn't expected that,
in this perilous Tian Yu World, he would actually owe a favor to an Alien being.
"Captain, I admit now, you are just a tiny bit handsomer than me."
Jack leaned towards Lu Chen, handed him the seashell, and said with emotion,
"Sigh, whether it's that Li Xinyi or this little Mermaid, they both treat you specially. It seems being handsome really is an advantage."
"Less nonsense. If you have energy to spare, go help the skeletons row."
"Heh heh."
Fu Yao watched the Netherworld gradually approach Giant Lizard Island,
and couldn't help but say worriedly,
"Brother Hao Qi, do you think they can survive?"
Hao Qi shook his head and stated flatly,
"Impossible. Leaving aside the fearsome Gorgon, the hundreds of Giant Rock Armored Lizards on the island alone are enough to send them into eternal perdition."
Under the gaze of the brother and sister,
the Netherworld slowly arrived at Giant Lizard Island.
"Kill!"
Jack jumped off the ship's side, brandishing his longsword, and charged towards the island.
However, after running a few steps, he couldn't help but stop, looking back at Lu Chen in confusion.
"Huh? Captain, didn't that little fish-person say this island was very dangerous? How come we haven't seen a single shadow?"
Suddenly,
"Crunch crunch~"
Accompanied by a sound of cracking,
a rock beside Jack surprisingly began to writhe strangely.
Subsequently, it actually transformed into a 4-meter-long rock lizard, emitting a dangerous aura.
"Oh, so it can camouflage!"
Jack let out a cold snort, and the Tier 4 power within him instantly erupted.
His longsword, like lightning, cut through the air, pointing directly at the rock lizard's head.
"Clang——"
Metal and rock collided, sparks flew,
However,
Jack felt a huge recoil force coming from the sword tip, numbing his right hand, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
"How is that possible!"
He was secretly startled, his full-strength blow had actually failed to break through the rock lizard's defense!
"Hiss——!"
The rock lizard let out a low roar, its scarlet tongue flickering in and out.
Its thick giant tail, like a whip, suddenly lashed out at Jack.
"Shit!"
Jack cursed inwardly, his figure agilely retreating, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
"Bang!"
The giant tail heavily smashed the spot where Jack had just been standing,
the reef instantly cracked, gravel flew, dust billowed, and the ground shook violently.
"What the hell is this thing? How is its defense so strong!"
Jack's eyes were full of solemnity.
Just then, a black figure swept past Jack like the wind.
The dark combat blade carried the sound of whistling wind,
and fiercely slashed onto the rock giant lizard's body.
Sparks flew,
the rock giant lizard let out a cry of pain,
its four-meter-long massive body was actually sent flying by the powerful force contained in the combat blade,
like a leaf blown by a strong wind, it flew directly dozens of meters away.
The giant lizard heavily crashed to the ground, its huge body rolling on the ground.
Its limbs twitched, struggling to stand up, but it was temporarily unable to get back on its feet.
The one who struck was precisely Lu Chen.
He stood steadily, his right hand tightly gripping the Heart-Corroding Blade, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Relying on his own strength and the sharpness of the Heart-Corroding Blade, he still hadn't broken through its defense.
The giant lizard was purely sent flying by his immense strength.
If it were an ordinary creature,
it would probably have been sliced into two segments by a single strike long ago.
Realizing this, Lu Chen quickly checked the rock giant lizard's information panel:
【Fierce Beast: Giant Rock Armored Lizard】
【Characteristics: Skilled in camouflage, strong defense, feeds on rock, gregarious, moderate intelligence】
【Talent: None】
【Skill: None】
【Combat Power Assessment: Tier 4 (Even the strongest hunters will have a headache when facing these Giant Rock Armored Lizards. Also, a reminder, this is a gregarious creature.)】
"Gregarious?"
Lu Chen furrowed his brow, noticing this crucial piece of information.
However, before he could come up with a countermeasure,
he heard the sound of cracking rocks, "Crunch crunch," ringing out again.
In an instant,
two rocks beside Lu Chen and Jack began to writhe again.
On the beach, there were actually three Tier 4 Giant Rock Armored Lizards!
