Chapter 85: The Nightmare Begins
The most terrifying enemies are the ones you can't see, especially when you don't have a single bit of information about them.
All they could sense was a blurry shadow rushing toward them. The light ahead was distorted by the monster's shadow, and the monster's shadow also appeared on the ground.
Invisibility isn't a magic bullet; at least the team members can pinpoint its location by observing its shadow on the ground.
"Fire! Fire!" the law enforcement officers shouted hurriedly. It was inevitable that they were a little nervous as it was their first time facing such a terrifying monster.
Dozens of gun barrels firmly blocked the monster from all sides, completely cutting off its retreat. Just as they had imagined, the monster had fallen into the pre-prepared encirclement. If it dared to retreat, they would let it taste the bitterness of being attacked from both sides.
Unfortunately, the monster never intended to retreat. Instead, it charged fiercely into the arms of the law enforcement team, knocking down three or four people in a short time.
The monster's enormous size and unfathomable strength were on full display at this moment. These first and second-tier team members were like paper figures in front of it, dying instantly if brushed against and being injured instantly if touched, without any power to resist.
The team members also put away their guns. The monsters were not afraid of the spirit stone guns, but that did not mean their teammates were not afraid. In the chaos, it would be a sin to hurt their own comrades.
Xiong Ming had recovered and charged forward, carrying a meter-long spiked baton.
He was just careless; otherwise, how could he have been sent flying by a single lash from that monster's tail?
Well, that's how he sees it, at least.
Even though there is a significant difference in strength between the mid-stage and late-stage third tier, it is not insurmountable. However, since the opponent is a demon beast, their strength must be considered separately.
The unseen monster continued to wreak havoc among the team members, showing no intention of stopping for a fair and square confrontation. Undoubtedly, it was quite intelligent and knew what was in its own best interest.
The team members were extremely frustrated. They retreated while fighting, but most of their attacks hit empty air, so you can imagine how they felt.
The battle has been going on for half a day, and we still don't even know what the opponent looks like. We can only judge the opponent's figure by its shadow and footprints. What's even more infuriating is that this monster is incredibly fast. If we're not careful, it will escape, and we'll have to re-lock the attack range that we finally managed to lock onto.
Fortunately, the beast has not yet shown any intention to kill. Perhaps it has just had a delicious meal and does not want to get entangled with these humans for the time being, and only wants to leave.
However, it's obvious that Xiong Ming won't let it have its way.
"Stop it! Stop it for me!"
The scene was extremely chaotic, and Xiong Ming could only try to control it with his voice.
"Captain, I caught it!" A particularly excited voice rang out, sounding like heavenly music amidst the chaos.
Xiong Ming's eyes lit up, and he quickly told the others to step back, while he went to meet them alone.
The person surrounded in the middle was a slightly younger team member, who seemed to be holding something in his arms, with his arms outstretched and his face flushed red.
"Captain Bear, attack quickly! I can't hold on much longer!!"
Seeing this, Xiong Ming no longer hesitated. His arms quickly expanded, bursting through his dark blue uniform and revealing arms as thick as an ordinary person's calf.
Having fully unleashed his life potential, Xiong Ming's strength more than doubled, and he slammed his baton down hard on the blurry shadow.
"Pfft-"
A jet of blood spurted out, followed by a soft "crack" sound.
Suddenly, everything fell silent. For some reason, the atmosphere in the arena became somewhat oppressive, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on the backs of all the team members, making it hard for them to breathe.
The monster finally revealed itself, and even the experienced captain of the enforcement team couldn't help but gasp when he saw its appearance.
Its body was covered in thick, bluish-green scales, and its triangular brown pupils were colder than those of a venomous snake. Its head resembled that of the extinct Cretaceous Triceratops, or perhaps a dragon from Western mythology.
Dozens of menacing barbs hang from the tip of its thick tail. Previously, these barbs were all closed, but now, with them open, the tail looks like it's adorned with a spiky ball.
The team members had no doubt that being hit by this thing would be fatal, and even if the enforcement team leader, Xiong Ming, were hit, he would probably lose half his life.
They knew that the monster must have held back, otherwise none of them would have left alive.
But things aren't so bad now, because they've successfully provoked it.
The monster's cold eyes stared at the group, and every team member who was being looked at felt fear.
They had recognized the monster's species—a Caesar's Giant Lizard!
Just like its name suggests, if there is any creature in the hundreds of miles-long parasol forest near Qingshui City that can stand at the top of the food chain, then without a doubt, the Caesar Giant Lizard is definitely a being that reigns supreme over those ordinary monsters!
"Damn it! How could such a terrifying monster appear here?!"
Xiong Ming pounded the ground with his fist, his eyes filled with resentment, but even more so with confusion.
The Caesar monitor lizards were living peacefully in the Sycamore Forest, so why did they run away? They are the overlords of the Sycamore Forest, why would they give up their good life and come to Qingshui City?
As the local overlord, the Caesar Giant Lizard surpasses ordinary monsters not only in strength, but also in intelligence that rivals that of humans.
Even monsters of the same level can only become food in front of these giant lizards, let alone fragile humans.
The reason it didn't kill them earlier was probably because it was just playing around, or it was too lazy to fight them.
Xiong Ming was beginning to regret his actions. If he hadn't been so hasty and had instead chosen to ascertain the true strength of the demonic beast before taking action, perhaps he wouldn't have encountered this situation.
But it's too late to say anything now; everyone present today is doomed to die!
The team members were also filled with despair. These people had almost all grown up hearing about the name of the Caesar Monitor. If the most terrifying person inside Qingshui City was the Black Dragon, then the most frightening thing in the forest outside Qingshui City was undoubtedly the Caesar Monitor.
Whether they are mercenaries or gang members on missions, there is a saying that circulates among them: Never anger a Caesar lizard, or it will become your lifelong nightmare!
"Is it really a Caesar monitor lizard?!"
The enforcement team members' mouths were agape, wide enough to fit an apple, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Good heavens, they actually angered a Caesar monitor lizard! Aren't they asking for trouble?
Under the watchful eyes of dozens of law enforcement officers, the Caesar monitor lizard stared coldly, as if looking at a group of dead men, while its scales stood on end, preparing for battle.
At this moment, the nightmare began...
