Chapter 399 - Chapter 399 Chapter 395 Xiaocaos Blind Cat Runs into a Dead

Chapter 399: Chapter 395: Xiaocao’s Blind Cat Runs into a Dead Mouse Chapter 399: Chapter 395: Xiaocao’s Blind Cat Runs into a Dead Mouse Fang Xiaocao moved back again with disdain, “You big oaf, go out there and use sand to scrub yourself off.”

In the desert, water was a precious resource, a lifeline, so it was impossible to use it for bathing Taotie. The creature had to make do, rubbing itself with sand.

Uh…

It was like dry cleaning, hamster-style.

Perhaps Taotie couldn’t stand the stench of scorpion dung on itself anymore.

With double swords in hand, he raced out of camp.

He had just left the camp and aimed for a small sand dune over a meter tall, leaping toward it like a cannonball.

Watching this, Fang Xiaocao shook her head.

“This big oaf.”

Fang Xiaocao was no longer surprised by Taotie’s foolishness.

Taotie, holding double swords, dove headfirst towards the sand dune, aiming to turn this small mound into his bathtub.

Suddenly!

An abnormality occurred!

A thick hand covered in keratin stretched out of the sand dune.

The next second!

A two-meter-tall Lizardman burst from beneath the dune and swung a fist at Taotie.

“Holy shit?”

“What the hell is that?”

Startled, Taotie cried out as he slashed at the Lizardman that had suddenly emerged from the sand with his double swords.

Hearing Taotie’s shout, Fang Xiaocao, who had just turned to check on Liu Yishou’s injuries, spun around and looked towards Taotie.

She caught the spectacle of the Lizardman leaping out of the dune and gasped, “What the hell?”

Taotie’s reactions were incredibly fast as he twisted his body while slashing out with his swords, narrowly dodging the Lizardman’s fist, and landed steadily on the ground.

At the same time, Taotie’s blades grazed the Lizardman’s arms, yet to Taotie’s surprise, the bloody scene he expected didn’t happen. The sharp blades only cut through the scaly keratin layer, and didn’t harm his flesh.

“Damn, what is this?”

Taotie exclaimed in shock.

The Lizardman sneered, his face covered with a layer of scaly keratin, resembling fish scales, which was chilling to anyone who saw it and instantly maximized the horror atmosphere.

The Lizardman wound up his fist, aiming for Taotie.

Taotie crossed his double swords in front of his chest.

Clang–

The Lizardman’s fist slammed into the blades, producing a crisp sound of metal on metal.

Taotie felt a colossal force hit him.

He staggered backward two steps.

Taotie was shocked; it was the first time anyone had forced him back with a single punch.

“Die for me!”

Taotie’s viciousness surged.

His eyes quickly clouded over with a crimson hue.

Going all out, Taotie threw aside his double swords, not retreating but advancing, and swung a punch at the Lizardman.

For Taotie, swordsmanship was just a hobby.

Close-quarter brawling, fist to flesh, that was Taotie’s favorite sport.

The Lizardman, grinning fiercely, also threw a punch, obviously confident in the hardness of his fist and unafraid of getting up close and physical with Taotie.

Thud–

Fists collided, producing a dull thud.

Taotie took a step back, shaking his numb arms, while the Lizardman stumbled back two steps, the scaly keratin on its fists shattered by the sheer force.

“Heh heh…”

“Trying to out-punch me, you’re really asking for it.”

Taotie sneered, provoking him.

Now it was the Lizardman who was stunned.

His scale armor had been smashed.

Such immense strength from this ugly thing.

If Taotie knew he’d been called an ugly thing by an ugly Lizardman, he’d probably be furious.

Taotie didn’t give the Lizardman a chance to recover, charging forward in a burst of speed and swinging his fists.

Watching Taotie get fired up and abandon his swords to brawl with the monster, Fang Xiaocao angrily stomped her foot and cursed under her breath, “Big oaf.”

Fang Xiaocao picked up the gun from the ground, loaded the magazine, and ran towards the outskirts of the camp.

“Brainless, Unhappy, charge!”

Close combat was not Fang Xiaocao’s forte, but she had loyal hounds by her side.

Brainless and Unhappy both excelled at close combat, and Xiaocao just couldn’t believe that three against one they couldn’t beat a monster to death.

Upon hearing Xiaocao’s order, Brainless and Unhappy instantly sprang into action.

The two Big Horse Lous “whooshed” out and charged straight toward the Taotie.

The next second!

Another small dune exploded.

Another Lizardman burst out.

Blocking the way of Brainless and Unhappy.

Seeing this, Xiaocao was shocked.

She slammed on the brakes, nailing herself to the spot.

Click–

Rifle chambered.

“Brainless, Unhappy, get out of the way,”

Xiaocao shouted.

Aiming her gun, she aligned the sights in a straight line.

Xiaocao pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang bang bang–

A burst of gunshots rang out.

A string of bullets was sprayed toward the newly emerged Lizardman.

The moment they heard the gunshot, Brainless and Unhappy quickly reacted, rolling to the sides to avoid Xiaocao’s line of fire.

Xiaocao was left with only twenty-eight bullets in her gun, which she emptied in one minute of spraying gunfire.

Out of the twenty-eight bullets, ten missed the mark.

Three of them landed near the Taotie’s feet, causing the Taotie to jump and scream, “Princess Your Highness, don’t shoot, it’s me!”

One hit the Lizardman that was fighting the Taotie, creating a hole in his lower abdomen.

Pus flowed out through the hole,

mingled with traces of blood.

Clearly, the bullet had penetrated the defense.

The other bullets that missed, Xiaocao had no idea where they had ended up.

The recoil was too strong for her to control.

Of the eighteen bullets that hit the target, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, three hit the Lizardman in the head.

The Lizardman’s head instantly exploded like a watermelon, scattering in all directions.

Seeing this, Xiaocao laughed.

“I told you my marksmanship isn’t bad,”

Xiaocao pretended to blow the smoke from the gun barrel and casually tossed aside the emptied rifle, pulling out the pistol at her waist.

As soon as a Lizardman appeared, it was instantly taken out by her gun, swelling Xiaocao’s confidence.

Knowing the Hidden Weapon wouldn’t easily penetrate their defenses, Xiaocao opted for the gun instead.

Brainless and Unhappy took a wary glance at the fire-breathing stick Xiaocao tossed to the ground and leaped toward Taotie.

Taotie and the Lizardman, blow for blow.

The fight turned into a brawl.

You punch me, I punch you.

Taotie was rewarded with a pair of panda eyes.

The Lizardman also had his ribs smashed by Taotie, the left side of his chest completely caved in.

With Brainless and Unhappy joining in, Taotie finally caught a break.

He stepped back, plopping down on the sandy ground, and gritting his teeth, he rubbed his eyes.

“Ptooey!”

Taotie spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

He yelled hoarsely, “Brainless, Unhappy, give him a good hammering, make it so he can’t even recognize his own mother.”

Xiaocao walked up to Taotie, handing him a handkerchief, “Wipe yourself.”

“You big chunk-head, are you on tiger power again? What were you thinking, not using your sword and going for close combat instead?”

Xiaocao helplessly exhaled.

Taotie took the handkerchief, laughing a “heh heh” without retort.

“Ah…”

“This desert is getting stranger by the minute, looks like I need to call Tom over.”

Xiaocao sighed.
