In the depths of the mine, Hu Hao and the warrior who controlled the soil pressed their ears against a wall. Through a small hole, they listened to the sound inside.
"I heard gunshots. It seems like there's a fight inside!"
The Earth Control Warrior whispered as he observed the miner's lamp above his head. He carefully adjusted the direction of the hole to prevent the light from shining in.
The Rock Lizard was very sensitive to light, and the light from the miner's lamp could easily cause agitation. Usually, when feeding it, the miner's lamp would be deliberately turned off and only turned on after the cave was sealed.
"If the Rock Lizard could be dealt with with with bullets, how could it have survived until now?" Hu Hao's eyes were a little fierce.
"The two guys who wanted to use black-toothed rats to sneak into the mine didn't even have a chance to resist before they became food for the Rock Lizard. This time, the intruder actually had the chance to open fire. Looks like he's not weak!"
"No matter how strong he is, he's no match for the Rock Lizard," the Earth Control Warrior said firmly.
"Although the Rock Lizard is only rank one, it has two defensive abilities that are comparable to a rank two enhanced defense. Unless he has Chief Situ's Skull Crusher, it's impossible for him to break through the Rock Lizard's defense."
Hu Hao smiled.
"If he could get the Skull Crusher, why would he risk his life for Xu Kui? No less than twenty Extraordinaires have died in this mine. We still can't stop these guys from coming to their deaths!"
There were only ores in the mine, which meant nothing to the hyena-like Wilderness Hunters. Therefore, ordinary Wilderness Hunters wouldn't even think about attacking the mine. The only people who dared to do so were the Wilderness Hunters who had been bought over by Xu Kui.
"It's almost time to feed it. With this guy coming to his death, we'll save a black-toothed rat!"
After the continuous gunshots, the sealed mine fell into a brief silence. Just as Hu Hao thought that the Rock Lizard had finished eating and was about to leave, another gunshot pierced through the air.
Compared to the previous gunshots, this one was a little dull. Even through the thick mud wall, he could feel that there was something different about this shot. From this shot, Hu Hao acutely sensed an inexplicable power!
Yes!
This was power!
The soil-control warrior's face changed slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Hu Hao with a gesture. The two of them pressed their ears tightly against the wall and listened carefully, trying to judge the situation inside through the sound.
Following that, a painful roar rang out, causing both of their expressions to change at the same time!
It was the roar of the Rock Lizard!
On the other side of the earth wall.
Although the Rock Lizard closed its eyes in time and covered its eyeballs with its eyelids that were as hard as rocks, this fatal bullet still easily broke through its defense.
The scorching bullet pierced through the defense of the eyelid, shattered the crimson eyeball, pierced through the fragile brain, pierced through the hard skull, and finally sank deep into the rock scales of the Rock Scale Lizard's head from the inside out!
Roar!
The Rock Lizard let out a sharp cry in pain. Its powerful chewing muscles loosened its grip on the prey in its mouth. Qi Yuan pushed with both hands and broke free from the crisscrossing sharp teeth.
The Rock Scale Lizard let out a series of roars from the depths of its throat, and kept banging its hard head against the surrounding cave walls.
The strong vitality of the insect beast was undoubtedly displayed at this moment. Even if its brain was penetrated by the bullet, it did not die instantly. It was still struggling.
Qi Yuan glanced at the struggling Rock Scale Lizard, and a hint of fear flashed through his eyes. If he had not awakened the "Annihilation Warhead" in time, he might have been torn apart by its fangs and become a pile of rotten meat in its stomach.
The bullets in the revolver's cylinder had been used up. Two armor-piercing bullets, one was fused, and the other was sent into the Rock Scale Lizard's body.
Quickly taking out six bullets from his pocket and putting them into the cylinder, Qi Yuan left the way he came from without looking back.
Although the Annihilation Warhead was powerful, it could not be fired indefinitely. Each shot consumed a lot of energy. More importantly, his marksmanship was not accurate. Once he was discovered by the mine guards outside, it would be difficult for him to escape.
The Rock Scale Lizard's struggle gradually lost its strength. After a few minutes, this powerful insect beast that had occupied the depths of the mine and forced the mine guards to seal the mine finally stopped struggling and lay down in the cold depths of the mine.
On the other side of the mine, Hu Hao held his breath and waited for a long time, but he did not hear any more sounds. His face became serious.
"Did you bring the miners out?" Hu Hao asked in a low voice.
"They've all returned to the surface," the soil-control warrior replied in a low voice.
If he wanted to turn the ores in the mine into resources, he could not do without the miners' hard work.
Although the lives of ordinary people were not worth much in the eyes of many people, Hu Hao did not treat them as expendable goods. Mining was hard work, but their safety was still guaranteed. Moreover, Si Tu had given them a high salary, so these absentee workers were also a huge fortune.
Hu Hao pondered for a while and said, "The rest of you, guard the outside. Let Combat Team No. 3 come over!"
"Yes!"
The soil-control warrior quickly walked out of the mine, leaving Hu Hao looking at the wall in front of him.
After that strange gunshot, the Rock Scale Lizard's painful roar lasted for almost a minute. It was obvious that it had been severely injured. Although he did not believe that there was anyone nearby who could break through the Rock Scale Lizard's defense, the Rock Scale Lizard's roar could not be faked.
This time, the Rock Scale Lizard's feeding might have really gone wrong!
After the impact and roar completely disappeared, Hu Hao even had a strange thought in his mind.
Was the Rock Scale Lizard already dead?
No matter what the final battle situation was, Hu Hao still decided to go in and check it out. Compared to the weak miners, a fully armed combat team was better able to face unknown risks.
Soon, the six fully-armed soldiers of Combat Team No. 3 entered the mine.
After setting up the line of fire, Hu Hao looked at the sealed cave in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Turn off all the mining lights and open the seal here."
The mine was plunged into darkness. After everyone's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, the soil-control warrior took a deep breath and pressed his hands on the sealed wall. The surrounding soil seemed to come alive, squirming in all directions, and a dark cave gradually appeared.
A breeze mixed with the smell of blood and dust blew in their faces. Everyone held their breath at the same time. Fighting with the Rock Scale Lizard in the mine was definitely a dangerous thing, even if the Rock Scale Lizard was injured.
Hu Hao tapped the butt of his gun three times with his finger. A warrior slowly put down the submachine gun in his hand and pulled out the dagger at his waist. He passed through the cave and carefully walked into the depths of the mine.
Looking at the warrior's back disappearing into the darkness, Hu Hao's spirit began to become highly tense. If the Rock Scale Lizard was not severely injured, the warrior who explored the way would become its food. There would be no room for struggle at all.
