Luo Kai stepped forward and gave it a heavy kick. Only then did the three-horned lizard stop venting its anger and lean forward timidly.
It was difficult to enjoy the peace of the journey in the human countries. Not only did the beasts come to harass and attack them from time to time, but even the humans fired at them.
At night, they passed by a city that had already turned into ruins. What entered their eyes was the light of fire and smoke. Broken buildings, soaring flames, and raging ferocious beasts constructed a cruel scene of doomsday.
Fierce gunshots came from the city. It was obvious that the humans and the beasts were fighting fiercely. The beasts were individually stronger, but the humans had the assistance of machine guns and cannons. In fact, they were not at a disadvantage. The strongest leader of the beasts was only at the mature stage. The humans did not even have a single trainer.
Generally, the human army would advance during the day, and the beasts would attack at night. Neither side was too strong, so it was difficult to tell who would win.
This country was called Qiudian. It was a medium-sized country among the nine suzerains of the humans. It was located in the southernmost part of the mainland. It was only separated from Seongma Province by the Misty Mountains. The beasts came from the Misty Mountains.
Luo Kai patted the three-horned lizard's big head. Patting the middle meant going straight, and patting the sides meant going in a different direction. The strength determined the speed. After a few days, the three-horned lizard finally understood. It increased its speed and bypassed the city.
Not long after they left, they saw a large group of people rushing out. Behind them was a swarm of beasts.
It was dark and their vision was not very clear. When the crowd rushed closer, they found that there was a huge creature slowly walking in front of them.
It was a huge beast that was five to six meters tall and ten to twenty meters long. Its whole body was covered with bone spurs. There were three black horns on its huge head. Especially its expressionless vertical pupils, it exuded an unparalleled majesty. It was extremely disgusted by other creatures approaching it. It made a low muffled roar from its throat. A pair of big nostrils blew out two scorching long breaths. A strong smell of sulfur permeated the air. It was ferocious and ferocious.
Such creatures were born with an incomparable sense of oppression, making people feel intimidated. Everyone's faces turned pale, and some of the more timid ones were so scared that they collapsed on the ground, urinating and defecating.
Humans generally judged Direbeasts based on their size. Generally speaking, the larger a Direbeast was, the more powerful it was. A Direbeast that was larger than a passenger car could ignore almost all guns and cannons. Wherever it went, whether it was a strong concrete sentry post or other reinforced steel buildings, they would all be smashed like tofu. Even heavy armor was like a toy in front of a Direbeast. To humans, this Direbeast was like the Grim Reaper. Once it appeared, it meant that the army was in danger of being wiped out.
The three-horned lizard's sense of smell was very sensitive. It sneezed uncomfortably, and a stream of air mixed with sparks shot out. The temperature immediately rose. It wanted to swallow the unpalatable food, but just as it opened its mouth, it was slapped on the head. It could only whimper and shut its mouth.
Luo Kai did not pay attention to these people. Instead, he stood up and looked into the city. There was a Direbeast that was about the same size as the three-horned lizard. It was a porcupine that was many times larger than the three-horned lizard. The only difference was that the bristles on its body had turned into bone spurs, like countless spears covering its body. It was very ferocious.
The Direbeast felt Luo Kai's gaze, and a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of its heart. It was a kind of danger warning that death was approaching. It instinctively retracted the bone spurs on its body, and its sharp claws dug holes in the ground. Its body emitted bursts of yellow light, and the soil avoided it. Soon, its huge body sank into the ground.
Luo Kai withdrew his gaze and patted the back of the three-horned lizard's neck.
The three-horned lizard was stunned for a moment. It also felt the fierce competition between the beasts of the same level in the city. High-energy meat was also very important to them. However, it did not dare to go against Luo Kai. It could only move its huge body and change direction.
As it left, the surrounding beasts that were eyeing covetously immediately slowly surrounded them. A few people below with sharp eyes saw the person on the back of the Direbeast. One of the tall men immediately shouted, "Hero, save us."
The Direbeast stopped and slowed down. The crowd was immediately overjoyed. They supported each other and followed.
The beasts wanted to continue to follow, but they heard the roar of the three-horned lizard. They were immediately scared and ran in all directions.
Luo Kai did not intend to participate in this war between humans and beasts. Saving some people was just a matter of convenience. When they were far away from the city, the three-horned lizard sped up and soon left the crowd behind, disappearing into the night.
They continued to move in the southwest direction. When they left the human countries, the surface became obviously desolate. Gradually, there was a barren Gobi Desert everywhere. There was almost no grass. Compared to the lush Yunling, it was like they were in a different world.
The reason why it was so desolate was because they were already in the highlands. The climate change in the Gobi Desert in this era was even more intense. At night, the temperature would plummet to a few dozen degrees below zero. During the day, it could be a few dozen degrees above zero. The sky was filled with rolling yellow sand.
The wind and sand raged, the drought was hot and dry. With such terrible weather conditions, there was naturally no vegetation. Without vegetation, no other creatures would appear.
There was also a road in the Gobi Desert. It was also the only road that led to the Blue Sky Highlands. However, it was obviously abandoned for a long time. Occasionally, they would come across a gas station that was completely abandoned. There was no trace of life.
Near noon, they stopped at a gas station. The gas station was empty, and the building was gradually eroded by the wind and sand. It was a dilapidated scene.
They walked around the gas station and found a place that was sheltered from the wind. They started a bonfire and roasted the jerky.
Now, not only Brown Bear and Thirteen came over, but the three-horned lizard also stuck its big head out.
A big problem appeared. The three-horned lizard had a bigger appetite. If it was in a place where plants and animals were flourishing, it would be fine. However, in the Gobi Desert, it was troublesome. There was no way the food could supply the three big guys.
After eating something, they set off. A roar of a motor came from behind them. A military off-road vehicle with yellow paint appeared in their field of vision.
The off-road vehicle was extremely fast. In a moment, it was in front of them. Three men and a woman came out of the car. The three men were all strong and muscular. Their skin was faintly blue. The only woman was the opposite. She had long blue wavy hair, a weak body, and a beautiful face.
The four people saw the giant lizard but were not afraid. Instead, they were vigilant. One of the men with two scales on his cheeks asked Luo Kai, "Did you see a woman in her thirties?"
Luo Kai shook his head and turned around to climb onto the back of the giant lizard.
"Human, my big brother is asking you a question!" Another man with a beret said loudly.
Luo Kai looked at him indifferently. His eyes faintly lit up with starlight, but he hid it again. He waited for Thirteen and Brown Bear to come up. He patted the giant lizard's head. The giant lizard sneezed and slowly got up.
The beret man was extremely annoyed. He pulled out a blue long sword and was about to go forward to stop them.
"Fourth brother, come back." The man in the lead stopped him.
The man was very dignified. The beret man did not dare to disobey, but his mouth was still unforgiving. He walked back while cursing.
The four people watched the three-horned lizard roll up the dust and gradually go away. The man in the lead had a puzzled expression. He asked the only woman, "Second sister, can you tell what stage of physique master he is?"
The woman frowned and gently shook her head, "I can't tell. This person did not leak any aura. However, his two beasts are not ordinary. They are both at the peak of the mature stage."
"It seems that there are still hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the humans. We must not be careless."
The beret man said disdainfully, "Big brother, we haven't even seen a decent physique master along the way. The humans have already declined. With the joint attack of the four of us, we can even fight against a Saint. In my opinion, we should just capture him and torture him. Those two beasts can be used as rations."
"No, the Saint of the Abyss Clan has already appeared. We can't use vitality easily. We have to keep it to deal with her."
