CHAPTER 141: CHAPTER 142: A NARROW ESCAPE, GAINING A LARGE NUMBER OF TREASURE CHESTS!

Lizardmen? Two-sided ambush?

How did they manage that?

However, the current situation doesn’t give Lin Yue any time to ponder.

If he hesitates even a bit, he and Bai will fall into a predicament they can’t escape from!

"Bai, ice fog!"

Lin Yue shouted loudly, and Bai instantly understood, releasing a massive amount of frigid ice fog straight ahead!

At the same time, an extremely low temperature completely enveloped the entire passage, extinguishing all the torches in the Lizardmen’s hands and plunging the passage into darkness!

Taking advantage of the moment, Lin Yue moved swiftly to the wall and immediately erected a sturdy stone wall.

Bai followed him to the wall, and the second wall was quickly put up.

In the darkness, the bizarre and unpleasant sounds made by the Lizardmen intertwined, but they never expected that the human they were trying to capture had already built an indestructible triangular wall in the shortest time!

Lin Yue climbed to the top of the wall, aided by the Night Vision Device, and the darkness couldn’t hinder him, even providing him a great advantage!

As long as these Lizardmen don’t light their torches, he is almost invincible!

Whizz! A crossbow arrow pierced through the chest of the nearest Lizardman, causing it to let out a scream before falling heavily to the ground.

[You’ve obtained a Copper Treasure Chest!]

Then...

At that moment, a Lizardman reignited its torch, and Lin Yue quickly shot it down!

[You’ve obtained a Silver Treasure Chest!]

Oh huh?

But Lin Yue didn’t expect that when the Lizardman fell to the ground with a scream, the torch in its hand ignited its body, engulfing it quickly in flames!

Hmm? What’s going on?

Lin Yue thought of something.

He seemed to have encountered a very similar scenario before...

The flames instantly illuminated the entire passage, even igniting a nearby Lizardman, causing the remaining Lizardmen to retreat frantically.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue spotted a Lizardman in black clothes, being escorted by several other Lizardmen as it fled into the distance.

Whizz!

A crossbow arrow hit its chest, followed by another arrow that took down the Lizardman holding a torch beside it!

[You’ve obtained a Gold Treasure Chest!]

[You’ve obtained a Silver Treasure Chest!]

The one in black was a Priest, while the one beside it was like a captain.

After Lin Yue shot these two Lizardmen, the others became visibly panicked, those further away ran away directly, and those closer retreated continuously.

Indeed, capturing the leader first!

Lin Yue continued to shoot at the Lizardmen horde, though because of the fire that broke out randomly, his position was exposed, the Lizardmen dared not approach, as if the flames ignited their deepest fears, and the seemingly impervious passage now barely had any life left.

"Gawo!" Bai, bored within the walls, had been protected by Lin Yue after releasing the mist, now overcome with fighting spirit, unable to contain its urge to rush out.

Lin Yue understood what Bai wanted. He touched the wall and instantly stored it in the Storage Space, while Bai transformed into a gust of wind and charged out!

With more screams echoing, the Lizardmen who hadn’t escaped were slaughtered by Bai’s claws and fangs!

Lin Yue looked around and saw the passage had returned to a dead calm, the previous dangerous situation now restored to peace.

However, Lin Yue didn’t want to linger here, who knows if the Lizardmen went to call for reinforcements?

He quickly picked up the treasure chests on the ground and hastily called Bai.

"Bai, retreat! Go back to the Shelter!"

The original plan was disrupted, and Lin Yue couldn’t continue venturing into the deeper parts of the ruins.

Alternatively, continuing would be suicidal now given the danger.

Although his weapon is strong, Bai is also powerful, if the previous situation occurred again, he wouldn’t be confident of escaping unharmed.

After all, this is the Otherworld, with no doctors or hospitals, even a high fever almost claimed his life.

Not to mention getting injured.

"Gawo!" Bai glanced back, and after releasing a fierce chill in the passage, followed Lin Yue back the way they came.

The way back was safe, without encountering any Lizardmen.

Finally reaching the stone gate, Lin Yue felt the pressure release entirely from his heart.

"Gawo..." Bai urged Lin Yue to leave, and Lin Yue didn’t want to stay longer.

He glanced back at the descending hole, then at the Lizardmen corpses and remnants around, and promptly created several stone walls to seal the hole.

Now, unless he deals with it himself, if any Lizardmen tried to return for a sneak attack, they couldn’t even breach these stone walls.

Back inside the secure Shelter, Lin Yue felt he couldn’t be completely at ease, erecting five slabs within the Underground Ruins Stone Gate.

Getting in here would be harder than reaching the heavens!

After completing this, Lin Yue suddenly felt a mountain of fatigue, returning to his bedroom and throwing himself on the bed.

Bai also seemed tired, lying on the sheepskin and closing its eyes, not wanting to move a single bit.

Lin Yue thought the ice fog emission had greatly drained Bai’s strength and energy, otherwise, Bai wouldn’t be this easily tired.

He also closed his eyes, not even caring to look at the system panel anymore.

Initially intending to level up his weapon, Bai’s evolution would enable him to conquer the Underground Ruins.

But this trip made him realize it’s not that simple.

The Lizardmen are much craftier and more numerous than he thought.

Despite their many weaknesses, and extremely outdated weapons, they remain formidable adversaries.

"I must find a rapid-fire weapon or something that can annihilate them swiftly, otherwise, the threats can’t be eradicated."

Lin Yue thought about these things while shaking his head.

Oddly enough, he had already faced sufficient danger, creating a triangular space by building walls, maybe covering it with boards would leave the Lizardmen helpless...

Wait.

Covering it?

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Covering it!

He seemed to have found a way to overcome the disaster!
