Universe Infinite Canteen

However, afterward, he saw Ma Lu turn back, and Boggy and the others had very grave expressions, promptly charging over.

But to everyone's surprise, no matter how much Seta and the others attacked the Lava Giant Lizard, its primary target was always Ma Lu.

In the end, it was Boggy who thought of something and shouted to Ma Lu, "Quick, throw away the Young Flame Lizard on you!"

Reminded by him, Ma Lu hurriedly untied a rope hanging from his waist.

The other end of the rope was tied to one of the hind legs of a Young Flame Lizard, which was a trigger mechanism Ma Lu had improvised called [Charge with Hits].

After throwing the rope away, the Lava Giant Lizard still fixed its gaze on him, and its huge mouth dripping with mucus was almost reaching the back seat of the motorcycle; Ma Lu could smell the sulfur in its breath.

At the critical moment, Ma Lu had a brainwave, quickly took off a small cage from the motorcycle containing 14 spare parts for the trigger, all of which he had caught when he had nothing else to do.

Although these were just minor parts, killing them would nevertheless exchange for some White Blessings, and if he was lucky enough to trigger a jackpot upgrade effect, he could also receive the Blue Blessings; therefore, it seemed a bit wasteful to just throw them away.

However, compared to the huge loss that death would bring, this waste was nothing.

With a heavy heart, Ma Lu still threw the small cage he held in his hand.

And as the cage left his hand, the Lava Giant Lizard finally stopped relentlessly pursuing him.

Ma Lu was finally able to stop the motorcycle and catch his breath briefly.

Only then did he realize that the two Lava Giant Lizards in front of him did indeed look quite similar to the Young Flame Lizard, except that they were hundreds of times larger in size.

"So there's some kind of kinship between them?" Ma Lu asked.

"Lava Giant Lizards evolve from Young Flame Lizards, but out of ten thousand Young Flame Lizards, there might not even be one that can grow into a Lava Giant Lizard."

"Most of the time, people tend to forget the relation between them," Boggy paused, then added, "Mainly because no one used to like collecting Young Flame Lizards as much before."

"Ah, this world is truly wondrous," Ma Lu exclaimed.

His previous few successful returns had made him somewhat complacent, thinking that hunting was nothing special.

But this time, he nearly fell victim to an insignificant detail, and it was only then that he truly understood the omnipresent dangers of this desert.

Even the seemingly harmless and silly-looking Young Flame Lizard could inadvertently bring such big trouble; no wonder hunters like Boggy were so cautious.

Fortunately, after this unexpected incident, the hunt got back on the right track.

Boggy, Seta, and the Lava Giant Lizard engaged in evasive combat, while Sadie would use Thorns to distract the Lava Giant Lizard when the others found themselves in danger.

Previously, this Lava Giant Lizard did not spew magma while chasing after Ma Lu, perhaps worried about hurting the Young Flame Lizards.

This time, however, it had no such concerns, and thankfully, the members of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group had enhanced speed and reflexes,

Always managing to dodge ahead of time before the scalding magma fell.

Hogg, while besieging the Lava Giant Lizard with his team members, was also keeping an eye on the battle on the other side.

The performance of the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group greatly exceeded his expectations, it was said to be five people, but in fact, Mai Mai and Ma Lu hadn't even made a move yet; there were actually only three people fighting.

Yet just these three were able to withstand the attacks of the Lava Giant Lizard, and their actions were very nimble; though their coordination was still a little raw, relying on their strong personal abilities, they could always smoothly resolve crises when they occurred.

However, Hogg watched for a while but couldn't figure out what Boggy was up to.

Though they were skilled, their weapons were just ordinary, hardly able to hurt the thick-skinned Lava Giant Lizard. They'd strike swiftly and then retreat just as fast, it felt like a group of people were merely tickling the Lava Giant Lizard.

Yet, if they continued at this stalemate, defeat was almost inevitable.

Because humans can hardly compete with wild beasts in physical strength, and the Lava Giant Lizard could take countless hits, but for the Twin Sunflower Hunting Group, even a minor mistake could likely lead to annihilation.

While Hogg was thinking this, he suddenly saw Boggy and the others intensify their offense, and their eyes were filled with fervor.

Because they heard Ma Lu shouting.

"97, just one more hit."

With the effect of "Harmless Treatment," a single attack could lay on at least four layers of poison, so just one more hit was needed to trigger a massive one-time damage from "Toxin Stacking."

Seta maneuvered the Sand Soil Puppet to raise its fist and rush forward, but someone was faster than him.

Boggy, who acted later, jumped over the Sand Soil Puppet and thrust his Mechanical Spear towards the Lava Giant Lizard's tail.

However, the one who landed that crucial blow was an inconspicuous Thorns.

—99!

Ma Lu watched as the dark-green number above the Lava Giant Lizard's head flickered before finally settling on 99.

The next moment, the Lava Giant Lizard, which had been lively before, suddenly began to shake violently, and then blood started to flow from its eyes and ears. It mustered its last bit of strength to bite its tail and curl up into a ball.

Then it moved no more.

However, wary of its terrifying strength and the scorching lava in its mouth, everyone did not approach immediately.

Not until they heard Ma Lu say, "It's all right, it's dead."

Then Seta took a step forward, but after a couple of steps, he asked again, "Is it really dead?"

"It's really dead," Ma Lu was certain.

Because in front of him, the blessing options had appeared, two gold and one purple.

It must be said that the Lava Giant Lizard, being a 4-star ingredient, had a really impressive drop rate.

Although it had only been 10 hours since they met, Seta's initial distrust of Ma Lu had turned into complete admiration.

Especially this time, hunting the Lava Giant Lizard had been unbelievably smooth under Ma Lu's command.

Seta felt as if he were dreaming; it was the first time he realized hunting could be so simple.

After a pause, he couldn't wait to rush towards the prey in front of him.

At this time though, Ma Lu was pondering a profound question – could the Lava Giant Lizard, killed by stacking poison, still be edible?

Mainly because given its last state, it was clearly heavily poisoned.

But the poison in the Meat Pigeon shouldn't be real poison, right?... Maybe he should still cut off a piece of meat and try feeding it to Little Grey.

Ma Lu's gaze shifted to the Wind-walking Prairie Wolf cub, which was still oblivious to being watched, circling around Ma Lu because it had been fed a few Young Flame Lizards before when Ma Lu used them as bait.

It wanted to eat more.
