338 A Perfect Plan (1/2)

The Giant Lizards were amphibious. They could live in caves, sleep in the mud, were able to live off vegetables, and feast on meat at other times. Such an all-around beast species was troublesome to deal with. It was difficult to find their weakness due to their strong adaptability. It also meant that their reproductive ability was fairly outstanding.

There were only a few Giant Lizards here forty to fifty years ago, and now… they were enough to queue up for a sunbath.

One thing for sure, the creature hiding at the middle of the swamp was also a kind of the Giant Lizard species.

The Razortail Drake which Mo Fan had seen before was a Giant Lizard mixed with the lineage of dragons. In comparison, the one he was targeting now had no wings, and its size was significantly bigger than the Razortail Drake...

Over the past few days, the trio was trying to figure out a plan to kill the enormous beast at the center of the swamp.

Li Man had returned from her regular exploration with bad news. Two groups of hunters were planning to enter the valley soon. Li Man had blocked the entrance they were planning to use, so she had barely delayed their plans by a day or two.

”Looks like we'll have to make our move tomorrow,” said Mo Fan.

They would not be able to stop the hunters from feeding themselves to the beast. Besides, that would ruin their ambitious plan of killing the beast.

Furthermore, Mo Fan felt that if they were to wait, the beast's shell would regrow fairly soon.

In the weak illumination from the bonfire, Mo Fan started drawing on the ground with a stick as he laid out the plan.

”Firstly, the Xuanwu Lizard is our biggest problem. Even though it was severely injured, its strength is still too much for us to handle. We can't attack it without making sure that everything is in place. It is our main target, and it is an expert at disguising itself. Don't judge it by looking at its enormous size, I can assure you that it has a higher intelligence than the Magicians that it has eaten alive.” Mo Fan drew the beast's position on the soil.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded heavily.

The Xuanwu Lizard was indeed very cunning. It never attacked just when the Magicians showed themselves. It waited patiently until they stood on its back. The groups of hunters were quite experienced, and were fully prepared, too. If it were a normal encounter, one or two of them would be able to escape. However, they were completely wiped out in an instant.

”We have no hope of defeating it on our own. However, there's something that could turn the impossible into the possible.” Mo Fan drew another area of the swamp with the stick.

The zone was where Li Man was on her own before, the exact place where she was poisoned without her knowing it.

Mo Fan glanced at Li Man and saw that she was in deep thought. He chuckled and said, ”That's right, the Xuanwu Lizard is not the only thing living in the Xizhao Valley. There's also a very strong poisonous bug.”

”Brother Fan, are you implying that we should have the poisonous bug attack the Xuanwu Lizard?” Zhang Xiaohou's eyes flickered.

They had zero chance of winning if they fought the Xuanwu Lizard head-on. It was clearly a Commander-level demon beast, and even an injured Commander-level demon beast could kill them instantly.

But it would be a different case if they had some external help.

Li Man cast a surprised glance at Mo Fan. She hadn't thought this caveman would be so daring.

It was something that hunters used a lot, to have some beast do their dirty work. As such, they would be the ultimate winner of the situation. Not many people would dare to use it on a Commander-level demon beast, as they would end up being eaten if they made a careless mistake.

”Have you gathered enough information about that poisonous bug?” asked Li Man.
