Chapter 138

About ten minutes later, Black Lizard 2 crossed the road and climbed into the sunken canyon on the other side of the road.

There are tumbling jeeps, clothes and items left by the dead, traces of black charcoal after the fire, etc.

But here, the feeling is still clear.

Yu Hong looked through the Black Lizard 2 and saw the mess in the canyon.

‘Go on.’ His heart moved, and he controlled the black lizard to continue crawling further away.

Soon beyond the range of one kilometer, the induction quickly weakened. The picture could no longer be seen, but other than that, he could still control the black lizard's actions, but he could not see the picture.

Yu Hong did not stop, but continued to let the Black Lizard 2 move forward.

It was not until the range of nearly two kilometers that the Black Lizard 2's status sensing became increasingly blurry, reaching a point where even sensing was somewhat difficult.

"It seems that the control limit is two kilometers." Yu Hong felt unexpectedly satisfied.

'If internal energy is used as a catalyst, each black lizard can lay a lizard egg every three days. From this, it seems that the black lizards should be able to form an intensive fighting force very quickly.'

Yu Hong was thinking in his mind.

He now has two inner qi channels, both of which are of second-level skill quality. One channel can give birth to a black lizard egg.

'Based on the speed at which my internal energy can be restored, it is enough to induce birth, but I don't know if there is a limit to the number of black lizards that can be controlled by the mark.'

Just do it if you think of it.

The crisis was approaching and he was unable to rescue Xiao Stutter. The two kinds of pressure suddenly raised the sense of urgency in Yu Hong's heart.

He simply sat cross-legged at the door, closed his eyes and continued to inject inner energy into the black lizard in the second imprint.

After the two inner qi are used up, it can just produce two black lizard eggs.

The internal energy recovery time is more than three hours, which is slower than before. It is obvious that the internal energy quality is much higher and the recovery is also much slower.

Three hours later, Yu Hong gave birth to two more black lizard eggs. Then the process continued until the sixth black lizard egg was born.

The second mark will no longer be able to input internal energy.

‘The number of hatched black lizards, including the eggs, is exactly nine. Is this the limit of the second mark?’

Yu Hong opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and opened the cave door.

After descending the steps, he walked directly to the courtyard wall.

There was no one in the yard. Zhou Xueguang and Aisenna each went back to their rooms to rest, and their even breathing could still be vaguely heard.

Yu Hong did not wake them up. He stood by the courtyard wall, stretched out his hand, palm up.

Puff puff puff.

Suddenly, in the foggy mountain forest outside, the sound of flapping wings quickly approached.

Then a black shadow the size of a kitten flew out and landed accurately on his palm.

The black shadow revealed its shape, and it turned out to be an enlarged version of the black lizard.

It is Black Lizard No. 1, and it is also the first imprinted creature to hatch.

Compared with the size of a palm at first, it is now as long as an adult's forearm.

A pair of withered yellow eyes are embedded in the dark body, and the transparent insect wings on the back are folded and retracted under the protection of the black hard shell, making it look weird and cold.

Holding the Black Lizard No. 1, Yu Hong thought for a moment, then gently flicked it and let it fly back to the forest and disappear into the mist.

'Patrol in a circle around the courtyard to expel all ghosts.'

He planned to thoroughly test the growing black lizard's combat power before the high-risk evil shadow arrived.

After the order was given, Black Lizard No. 1, the only nearly adult individual, began to crawl quickly around the yard.

Yu Hong monitored the situation on the map in his mind.

Around the yard, three difficult areas have been marked under the previous patrol of Black Lizard II.

These are dangers that the Black Lizard cannot eliminate on its own.

The first place is beside a waterway in the direction of Baiqiu Village.

The second place is a section of the path leading to the pyroxene mine.

The third place is on the left side of the road to the post office, under a withered old locust tree.

In the patrol safety map in Yu Hong's mind, these three places are marked as three patches of darkness, which means that they contain black disaster dangers that go beyond ordinary shadows.

Soon, Black Lizard No. 1 encountered its first danger.

In the foggy mountain forest, directly in front of it, a thin woman sitting on a horizontal branch appeared.

The woman was wearing a tattered and wide long skirt. The skirt was gray and stained with blood.

At the same time that Black Lizard No. 1 discovered her, she also discovered this side.

puff!

Suddenly, Black Lizard No. 1 raised his head and spit out venom instantly.

The jet-black venom was like a sharp arrow, instantly crossing a distance of more than ten meters and accurately hitting the woman's skirt.

ah!

The woman's whole body twisted and melted, like a candle under high temperature, struggling, and in less than three seconds, it dripped from the branch and turned into a pool of black mucus.

‘Awesome!’ Yu Hong felt relieved. He didn’t expect that the black lizard would be so lethal after it grew up.

'It seems like, although ordinary shadows can continue to regenerate, with black lizards patrolling, I can maintain a relatively safe living area.'

He was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

Then, he watched Black Lizard No. 1 step forward, quickly suck the melted black mucus into his mouth, and swallow it.

Then continue patrolling.

The second time, two strange shadows appeared together. They were holding hands, as if they were two brothers, slowly and silently floating in the mist of the forest.

As soon as the two mysterious figures discovered Black Lizard No. 1, they took the initiative to attack, quickly swooped close, and grabbed the Black Lizard.

hiss!

The place where Black Lizard No. 1 came into contact with the Shadow began to smoke rapidly, and the black smoke made the Shadow's figure slightly distorted.

With a pop, another mouthful of venom spurted out. Black Lizard No. 1 turned over to dodge, watching the two shadows twist and roll, melting into a new puddle of black slime.

It continued to move forward, sucking in the mucus while feeling a slight sense of weakness.

Obviously, the touch of the mysterious shadow just now was not without harm to it.

‘Is three the limit?’ Yu Hong set the number in his mind.

From this point of view, nine adult black lizards should be able to expel thirty shadows from the activity area.

Considering that there are other black disasters wandering around and the regeneration speed of the shadows can be fast or slow, the future safe area patrolled by the nine black lizards was quickly circled in Yu Hong's mental map.

This area just covers a circular area of ​​200 meters around the yard.

'When all the black lizards hatch and grow, this new safe zone will be ready. Then humus soil, wood and other materials will be easily obtained.'

Yu Hong felt more relaxed.

The role of the black lizard was stronger than he imagined. It was equivalent to creating a safe area where activities could be adjusted at any time. It could also detect the approaching direction of high-risk black disasters in advance.

'Standard sentinel.' He finally gave the definition of black lizard.

After taking a rest, Black Lizard No. 1 continued to execute his cleaning orders, while Yu Hong once again focused his sensor vision on the retreating Black Lizard No. 2.

Not long after, he suddenly let out a soft sigh, his expression slightly surprised.

'Is there anyone?'

Black Lizard 2 returned to the area within one kilometer and began to patrol in a covert manner.

During this investigation, they unexpectedly found a passenger car that had overturned on the ground.

Gray passenger car.

The car rolled over from the road and fell into a deep ditch. The car's exterior was covered with thick metal plates, sealing all the windows.

From a distance, it looks like a pod with a shriveled waist.

Inside the car, several figures wailing in pain were squirming and struggling, trying to climb out of the twisted car body.

Their legs were injured and blood was everywhere. They dragged long marks all the way through the carriage, like a brush dipped in blood.

Yu Hong's vision was through the black lizard, and he roughly judged that among the five survivors, only three could survive. The other two had their lower bodies completely broken and were bleeding profusely. They must not be able to stop it.

The three people who survived were all slightly injured, which did not affect their movements.

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Hong decided to go over and have a look to see what the other party's character was like. If he wasn't that nasty and disgusting type, he might be able to get some more manpower if he could save him.

Now that he can't run away by himself, he can only rely on other people to go out and dispatch to achieve his goal. There is a serious shortage of manpower.

After confirming, Yu Hong immediately ordered Black Lizard No. 2 to patrol the area quietly to drive away the shadows and ensure the safety of these people.
