Chapter 207: Chapter 208: Encounter Battle, Acquiring a Large Number of Treasure Chests!

The wheels rolled over the Dream Poison Herb blooming with purple and pink flowers, racing quickly across the desert.

The soft ground prevented the sand buggy from bouncing too much, and thus its speed kept increasing.

After several drives, Lin Yue had gained more insight into driving the sand buggy and understood it better.

No longer as cautious as at the beginning, after familiarizing himself with the vehicle and the terrain of the desert, he drove more boldly and adventurously, allowing the sand buggy to move more smoothly across the wasteland.

Bai’s long-distance flying was still somewhat lacking, especially considering the headwind now. The wind in the air would be even stronger, and even if Bai took flight, it would easily become fatigued. If it really couldn’t continue, then it would wait until the return journey.

On the sand buggy, Bai and Xiao Meng sat in the back. Unlike their heavy appearance, their weight didn’t significantly affect the vehicle.

Now, both of them puzzledly watched the machine lying on the passenger seat next to Lin Yue, not understanding why Lin Yue brought this thing to the mining site this time.

"It’ll be of great use later, don’t underestimate it. It might just surprise you," Lin Yue said. Bai and Xiao Meng always harbored an inexplicable hostility towards the machine dog, as if the strange metal lump operated in ways they couldn’t comprehend, without any possible communication, making them react this way.

But Lin Yue believed the machine dog would definitely astonish these little fellows.

After over an hour of driving, Lin Yue finally saw the large lake in the distance and also noticed piles of huge stones by its shore.

However, he wasn’t sure if he was mistaken, but he seemed to catch glimpses of some shadows passing by.

He immediately stopped the vehicle, and behind him, Bai also issued a warning, "Gawu!"

Enemies!

Lin Yue picked up the sniper rifle, extended its stand, and mounted it on the vehicle, attaching the highest magnification sighting scope he had, then peered toward the lakeside.

Vaguely, he saw some dark green figures flashing by the water’s edge!

Their green appearance and unique walking style were very familiar to Lin Yue.

As old adversaries, Lin Yue knew their identity very well.

Lizardmen!

The opponents seemed completely unaware of this side and were busy among the rocks over there.

What were they doing? Were they stealing sulfur?

He recalled the encounters he had back in the Underground Ruins.

Outside the huge room in the deepest part of Zone F in the Underground Ruins, a Lizardman Priest was forced into a corner with no retreat by him, and finally threw out an explosive. Although not very powerful, it was indeed such a thing.

The most crucial ingredient in explosives was sulfur!

Now, the Lizardmen had come here to steal minerals after he had defeated the giant creature guarding this place...

Can this be tolerated?

"Bai, Xiao Meng, prepare for battle!"

This place was different from the Underground Ruins, lacking so many blind spots and with wide enough space that fighting Lizardmen here meant they had no chance of winning.

Whether it was the Alloy Tactical Crossbow or the M19 Pistol, or even the Sniper Rifle, they could inflict tremendous damage, reminding the Lizardmen of their place!

Besides, Lin Yue also wanted to try the shotgun M880 he had acquired earlier; its power could definitely impose a devastating blow and intimidation in close combat with Lizardmen.

However, the drawback was that he hadn’t found any earplugs or earmuffs to withstand the loud blast of the shotgun.

Moreover, the shotgun shells posed another issue; it required lead blocks, something Lin Yue currently lacked and could only purchase from the Survival Points Mall.

"Gawu!" Bai growled lowly, looked at its master, now equipped and holding weapons, and at Xiao Meng, who seemed ready to rush out at any moment, knowing that the battle was about to begin!

"Xiao Meng, you distract the enemy; Bai, strike from the air!"

Their numbers unknown, although the Lizardmen’s combat power was indeed lacking, a large quantity still posed a challenge.

The sand buggy resumed its forward drive, the engine’s roar echoing through the wilderness, and this booming sound naturally attracted the green-bodied Lizardmen, who finally noticed the monster rushing towards them with a howl, becoming instantly flustered.

They crawled out from behind rocks, hurriedly gathering together, holding stone spears and javelins, but were hardly ready for battle.

From the howling monster, a large white silhouette flew into the sky, and a silver-gray shadow leaped to the ground, charging at them almost simultaneously!

A gust of extremely cold wind blew over, instantly freezing some unprepared Lizardmen, while another group huddled together was toppled by a violent storm, crying out miserably as their bodies were torn apart!

The remaining Lizardmen, seeing the giant monster stop in the distance, attempted to throw their stone spears, only to fall straight one by one, circular holes appearing on their heads, surrounded by treasure chests.

...

The battle continued, not ending immediately.

Lin Yue noticed that the number of Lizardmen was indeed not small. With his assaults from three directions alongside Bai and Xiao Meng, a large group of Lizardmen had been eliminated, yet they seemed hardly diminished, still emerging from every crevice between the mineral rocks, even increasing in number!

Good heavens, were these reinforcements? From where...wait, could there be a tunnel entrance?

Lin Yue recalled the details from the huge mural, where the Werewolves on the surface seemed to come in and out of tunnels.

He put away the sniper rifle; some Lizardmen had already charged out, and up close, the sniper rifle’s effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Igniting Burning Arrows, Lin Yue used the Tactical Crossbow to shoot them out, turning one Lizardman after another into fireballs.

These creatures, previously thought to have no concept of "fear," were finally retreating under the intimidation of the flames.

But Lin Yue had no intention of letting them go so easily.

The M19 Pistol summoned forth; red laser sights appeared on the foreheads of one Lizardman after another, quickly departing, leaving bullet holes in their heads!

By the lakeside, Bai and Xiao Meng coordinated seamlessly, one blanketing the Lizardmen with an aerial spray to restrict their movement, while the other transformed into a meat grinder within the icy fog, quickly turning a massive number of Lizardmen into mush.

As time progressed, the Lizardmen emerging from the tunnels were gradually forced to retreat by Lin Yue’s gunfire, and the lakeside was littered with corpses.

Soon, realizing even their numbers couldn’t overwhelm the enemy, the Lizardmen began a frenzied retreat, disappearing once again into the desert.

Don’t chase a cornered foe.

Especially when they might reappear underfoot.

Bai finally landed on the ground, and Xiao Meng ceased its ferocious assault, allowing Lin Yue to bring this sudden battle to an end.

The results were impressive.

Lin Yue inspected the area, finding 72 Copper Treasure Chests and countless Lizardmen corpses littering the ground.

If he had done it all himself, this number might well have tripled or quadrupled, if not more.

It must be said, Xiao Meng’s combat prowess was indeed formidable!

Handing both Bai and Xiao Meng a piece of lion-headed bear grilled steak each as a reward, Lin Yue also packed up all the Copper Treasure Chests, only to be faced with a new problem.

What to do with all these corpses littering the ground?

However, he quickly came up with an answer.

"That large lake, could it be Acid Rain Lake?"
