Chapter 327 - 327 A Failed Assassination

327 A Failed Assassination

After the lizard matriarch swallowed the last mouthful of its egg, it let out a long breath.

Its power had returned.

Previously, it was in a weakened state because it had just laid a batch of eggs.

In order to recover its strength, it was forced to consume its children.

‘My children!

‘This human…

‘He had to die!’

“Roar!”

The lizard matriarch exploded with tremendous force and charged at Wang Ran with bloodshot eyes.

On the other side, the others were quickly slaughtering the mutant sand rats and mutant lizards.

With the help of the flashbangs, the mutant creatures were like headless flies.

In just a few minutes, more than half of the mutated creatures were killed or injured.

However, some of the more intelligent mutated lizards began to adapt.

Every time the humans threw a flashbang, they would shout to remind their teammates.

After this adaptation, the mutated lizards were rarely caught by the flashes.

Very soon, the mutated lizards organized a counterattack.

The pressure on Lin Liye and the other three instantly increased.

Zhao Qi was observing Lin Shuang, while dealing with the enemies.

A difficult situation was a good time to cultivate feelings!

At that moment, a mutated lizard pounced at Lin Shuang.

“Here’s my chance!”

Zhao Qi’s eyes lit up.

“Lin Shuang, be careful!”

Zhao Qi pounced on Lin Shuang and used his body to take the attack for her.

In order to make Lin Shuang feel even more touched, Zhao Qi did not hold back and took the hit.

A line of blood stretched from Zhao Qi’s shoulder all the way to his ribs.

“Now, you should be touched!

“The next thing is to cry for me, and your heart would have fallen for me…”

Although Zhao Qi was injured, he was pleased with imself.

However, Lin Shuang completely ignored Zhao Qi!

The deep love that Zhao Qi had imagined did not happen.

At that moment, Lin Shuang was completely immersed in the battle. She instinctively ignored what had just happened.

All of a sudden, Lin Shuang’s aura surged out!

She had advanced!

“Dad’s right! A tough battle can truly help you improve!”

Lin Shuang was full of confidence as she rushed deeper into the cave.

Zhao Qi was dumbfounded.

Was he being ignored just like that?

This injury had been for nothing!

Zhao Qi didn’t have time to be depressed, as the mutated lizard attacked again.

Fortunately, Zhao Qi was also a talented person. After some struggling, he also advanced to rank-six, so he had an easier time.

Zhao Qi took some time to look at Wang Ran.

That guy…

He didn’t know if he had died at the hands of the lizard matriarch.

“Eh? The f*ck!”

Zhao Qi trembled.

He saw a scene that made him extremely shocked…

In the middle of the square, the huge lizard matriarch was kneeling in front of Wang Ran, its state unknown…

It was solved, just like that?

How long has it been?

Zhao Qi was extremely depressed.

In that case, the main credits would go to Wang Ran!

He had worked so hard to run so far, and now he was just a bystander?

This won’t do!

Zhao Qi thought for a while, and the corner of his mouth slightly curved up.

There was a way!

He took out two flashbangs and threw them out when no one was paying attention.

A bright light instantly lit up the enclosed space.

“My f*cking eyes! Where’s the heads-up?!

“Retreat, we need to recover!”

Lin Liye threw a punch and then took a few steps back.

The others also shrank back.

Fortunately, the mutant creatures were also affected, so the consequences were not too serious.

Zhao Qi smiled, took out two grenades, and threw them directly in Wang Ran’s direction.

No matter how strong he was, he was still flesh and blood.

Just as the grenade was about to reach Wang Ran, he moved.

He grabbed the lizard matriarch in front of him and used it as a shield.

“Boom! Boom!”

The grenade exploded in front of the lizard matriarch.

At such a close distance, the explosion caused the tough skin of the lizard matriarch to burst open. However, its skin was tough and thick, so it did not fall apart after the explosion.

Wang Ran threw the lizard matriarch aside, his sharp eyes staring straight at Zhao Qi.

His eyes narrowed.

Wang Ran walked straight to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi panicked.

‘I’m finished!

‘This guy was wearing sunglasses!’

He had clearly seen what he did just now…

Wang Ran was terrifyingly powerful. If he came over, he would definitely not let him off.

‘What do I do…?’

Zhao Qi looked around in a panic.

Escape? This was the hinterland of the pyramid. He would definitely be caught before he could get far.

If he didn’t escape, he would be dead!

Zhao Qi gritted his teeth and went directly behind Zhang Guozhu. He put his arms around his neck and put the his knife on his neck.

Zhang Guozhu and Wang Ran were friends, and he was weak, so he was the most suitable choice for him.

At that moment, everyone had recovered from the effects of the flash bomb.

“Holy shit, Zhao Qi!

“What are you doing?!”

Zhang Guozhu was shocked.

Was he confused by the flash grenade and mistook the wrong person?

The lizards seemed just as confused.

Were humans that stupid…?

Zhao Qi didn’t say anything, but took a few steps back with Zhang Guozhu.

Lin Liye and Lin Shuang also noticed what had happened.

“Zhao Qi, what the hell are you doing?!

“Let go of Zhang!”

Lin Liye shouted at Zhao Qi.

If he wasn’t held back by the mutated lizards, he would have rushed over to slap Zhao Qi.

“Yeah, Zhao, what are you playing at?”

Zhang Guozhu’s neck was nicked by the blade.

He found it hard to understand what was happening.

“Hehehe…

“What do I want? I just want to leave this place alive,” Zhao Qi said as he stepped back.

The mutated lizards were even more confused.

If you want to leave this place alive, you should at least catch a lizard. Why did you catch your companion…?

At that moment, Wang Ran casually killed a few mutated lizards and reached them.

“Xiaoyu, Momo, Tang Tang, clean up the place,” Wang Ran coldly ordered them.

The three girls nodded and sped up.

Meanwhile, Wang Ran walked straight towards Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi panicked and increased the strength of his hand. Zhang Guozhu’s neck was cut again.

“Don’t come over…

“If you come any closer, I’ll kill him!”

Zhao Qi shouted at Wang Ran.

Wang Ran frowned. He could see that Zhao Qi was already extremely terrified. He might really do it.

Zhang was an old friend who he had saved a few times. He couldn’t just watch him die.

“Alright, I won’t come over. Let Zhang go.”

Wang Ran stopped in his tracks and raised both his hands.

“Hehehe…

“Let him go? When I get out, I’ll naturally release him.

“None of you are allowed to follow!”

Zhao Qi retreated with Zhang Guozhu.
