Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 229: Red-Legged Lizards

"Xiao Weimin accepted a sect mission and took his harem to complete it. On their way back, they accidentally fell into a hidden space." The double started and quickly continued when he saw Zhen Yuan was paying attention.

"Long story short, the space was the portable storage of an ancient cultivator and it had countless resources. Most importantly, its time flowed differently than the Tianqi continent."

"This..." Zhen Yuan didn’t know what to say.

A moment later, he sighed and squeezed his lover’s hand.

"Did he collect the space?" He asked, and Shen Xu shook his head.

"Fortunately, no. The space collapsed after all the resources were collected."

"That’s good."

"Many things have changed, but the main protagonist is very lucky. We should assume that he still encountered the hidden space in this lifetime." Shen Xu said, and Zhen Yuan nodded in agreement.

In the Canglan continent, he and Shen Xu stole several opportunities from the main protagonist and his harem.

However, these opportunities were small and had barely affected Xiao Weimin’s luck.

Considering that, it made sense to assume that the main protagonist still got his opportunities in the Tianqi continent and was already in the Yunshan secret realm.

"Tsk." Shen Xu snorted in an annoyed voice.

"Don’t worry about him. What..." Zhen Yuan started but suddenly stopped.

Simultaneously, he stretched his spiritual sense and looked into the distance.

"What’s wrong?" The double questioned.

"Red-legged lizards." Zhen Yuan answered.

Red-legged lizards were a native breed of the Endless Sun Desert.

They had a brown body, red legs, and yellow eyes.

Generally, a level one red-legged lizard was about one metre long while a level six could be as long as six or seven metres.

Most importantly, red-legged lizards were poisonous, and ordinary detoxification pills were useless to fight their venom.

"How many?" Shen Xu asked.

"At least two thousand."

"Two thousand..." Shen Xu couldn’t help but frown.

Two thousand red-legged lizards were not an easy opponent especially if the horde had a level six member.

"What are their levels?"

"Most are level three, four hundred or so are level four, and about thirty are level five." Zhen Yuan answered, and Shen Xu sighed in relief before speaking.

"The skin of red-legged lizards is a good material for refining heat isolation robes and other weapons. I can also take this chance to harvest a lot of poison glands."

"Good." Zhen Yuan nodded but soon frowned.

"Xiaoxu, do you have a detoxification pill that can remove the lizard poison?"

"I have, don’t worry." Shen Xu reassured.

Before entering the secret realm, he refined many pills including several kinds of detoxification pills.

Fortunately, two types of detoxification pills he refined could completely eliminate the venom of red-legged lizards.

Soon after, the two concealed themselves using invisibility and aura-hiding talismans before rushing towards the horde of lizards.

After arriving, the two didn’t unleash their weapons and begin fighting.

Instead, they removed a batch of talismans and threw them at the level three and four red-legged lizards.

"Ayuan, use the thousand miles ice talisman." Shen Xu reminded when he saw Zhen Yuan activating a ten thousand swords talisman.

Compared to the thousand-miles ice talisman, the ten thousand swords talisman was more direct and effective.

However, Shen Xu wanted to preserve the lizard skins and bodies.

Because of this, he chose the thousand-mile ice talisman, which could kill the lizards without destroying their bodies.

"Good." Zhen Yuan nodded and immediately changed his attack method.

Killing the level three and level four red-legged lizards was not difficult.

After all, the two were using level-five talismans.

However, dealing with the minions consumed a lot of qi, and when they were done, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan were almost out of qi.

Considering this, the two didn’t pursue the victory and continue fighting the level five opponents.

Instead, they retreated and found an opportunity to enter the space.

"The lizards won’t linger for too long. Let’s replenish our qi and quickly go out before they leave."

"Alright." Shen Xu agreed and sat cross-legged.

Because he had qi replenishing pills, Shen Xu recovered his energy much earlier than Zhen Yuan.

That said, the time difference between the space and the Yunshan secret realm was not for show.

When the two came out of the Chaos Flame Space, the level-five red-legged lizards were still around and seemed to be looking for the murderer of their weaker relatives.

This time, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t plan to use talismans.

After trapping twenty-eight lizards in a formation disk, Zhen Yuan released a spear, and Shen Xu unleashed his hammer.

"Let’s do this." Shen Xu shouted and swung at the nearest red-legged lizard.

The lizard was at the early level five; equivalent to Shen Xu’s cultivation.

However, monsters were generally physically stronger than human cultivators.

Because of this, Shen Xu’s hammer did not kill the lizard but only served to anger it.

"Your scales are fine, but my hand is numb. What are you angry about?" Shen Xu sneered and unleashed a barrage of hammer attacks.

Unfortunately, the outcome was the same, and the double couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.

’Are the scales invulnerable to hammers and..." He wondered and turned to Zhen Yuan.

Like Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan was having trouble with his opponent.

However, the man was still trying with an excited expression.

Seeing this, Shen Xu smiled and focused on his opponent.

"Do these lizards have a weakness?" He wondered, looking at the lizard, willing it to reveal its secrets.

’The eyes.’ He thought but soon gave up that idea.

After all, he did not use a sharp weapon and couldn’t accurately attack the lizard’s eyes.

"If not the eyes, then..."

Without hesitation, Shen Xu smashed the lizard, causing it to flip over. freewёbnoνel.com

Barely a moment later, he attacked the monster’s belly, expecting it to howl in pain or die.

Unfortunately, the reality was different.

Although it received a direct hit, the lizard seemed unaffected, and its belly was without a mark.

"Not the body, not the eyes, and not the belly. What else can I attack?" Shen Xu frowned, looking at the red-legged lizard.
