The nightmare began, and the roles of prey and hunter were instantly reversed the moment the Caesar monitor lizard revealed itself.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a late-stage third-tier demon beast. All of us combined might not be weaker than it!" Xiong Ming forced himself to cheer him up.

If they resist, there is still a sliver of hope for survival; if they do nothing, they will only face certain death. Besides, all of them combined might not be weaker than Caesar the Giant Lizard.

Rumors are just rumors. How could they be willing to obediently wait for death if they had never truly witnessed the power of the Caesar Lizard?

"The captain is right. The brothers have killed at least a hundred monsters. One more giant lizard won't make a difference."

"Brother, you're right. When have the men in our law enforcement team ever been afraid of monsters?"

These team members are all seasoned veterans who have seen blood. They were only intimidated by the name of the Caesar Lizard for a moment. In a real fight, the outcome is still uncertain.

The Caesar monitor lizard surveyed its surroundings like a noble king inspecting his territory, regarding these noisy humans as nothing more than trifles.

It completely ignored the low-level cultivators and charged directly at Xiong Ming. On one hand, it wanted to avenge the blow it had just received, and on the other hand, it considered that Xiong Ming was the only human here who could pose a threat to it. Once it got rid of him, the rest of the people would be no problem.

The massive figure lunged at Xiong Ming, who tensed up and tightened his grip on the baton.

Having entered a state of activated life potential, he was already over 2.5 meters tall, looking like a small giant from afar, and his size was no less than that of the Caesar monitor lizard.

His surging blood and energy gave him a strong sense of security. He was confident that even the Caesar Lizard would not be able to defeat him in a short time. Even if he couldn't beat it, he could at least hold out until reinforcements arrived.

However, he overestimated himself and underestimated the Caesar's Giant Lizard.

It's no wonder it's called the nightmare of the sycamore forest.

The massive monster's body crashed into Xiong Ming's body, which had been activated by his potential. The powerful impact forced him to stagger back seven or eight steps before he could barely regain his balance.

"Caesar's monitor lizard, but like..."

Just as Xiong Ming was about to make a sarcastic remark, a gust of wind suddenly swept up from behind him, and he didn't have time to react at his current speed.

In his haste, he seemed to see a hint of human-like mockery on the Caesar lizard's lips, as if it were a sarcastic remark about his overestimation of his abilities.

He had no time to think anymore. The thing coming from behind felt like an iron whip lashing at him, and the part that was hit instantly lost sensation.

The attack didn't end there. The spikes on the Caesar lizard's tail struck him with tremendous force, and the steel-like barbs left several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body.

"Is this a lie? You think the captain was taken down so easily?"

The team members were shocked to see their invincible captain severely injured by Caesar the Giant Lizard in one move. The impact on them was self-evident.

The courage that had just risen among the crowd vanished with the Caesar lizard's attack. At that moment, most people were no longer thinking about how to fight back, but how to survive in its clutches.

Perhaps some people are not afraid of death, but they are definitely a minority. Most people will find how ridiculous the vows they made in the past were when they face death.

The Caesar monitor lizard flicked its tail, tossing Xiong Ming, who was hanging on it, around like a tattered sack. Perhaps the next second, when the lizard got tired of playing with him, his death would be imminent.

Xiong Ming regretted his recklessness, even though he hadn't done anything wrong. No one would have expected that the overlord of the Wutong Forest would appear here.

Now he could only hope that the reinforcements sent by headquarters would arrive as quickly as possible, but he knew that the hope was slim.

The headquarters only received information about an invasion by a late-stage Tier 3 monster. To be honest, such a monster wouldn't attract much attention. Although rare, similar invasions have happened before.

Compared to the chaotic city, this place needs more manpower to guard it. Even if reinforcements are sent from above, it will probably only be one or two cultivators at the late or peak of the third rank. By the time they arrive, these poor team members may not even have bones left, and they will also lose their own lives.

Should we just give up the fight? No, of course not. At the very least, we have to let these young people live, Xiong Ming thought to himself.

Seizing an opportunity, Xiong Ming wrapped his arms around the neck of the Caesar monitor lizard and refused to let go no matter how much its tail whipped around him.

"Go, go!"

Perhaps this is all he can do? Sacrificing himself is better than letting everyone die here.

"team leader!"

"Brother Bear!"

Seeing Xiong Ming's actions, the team members who had just considered escaping immediately felt ashamed.

"We can't let Captain Xiong's blood be shed in vain. We must go back and inform headquarters immediately!"

If headquarters knew that the attacker was a Caesar's Giant Lizard, they would definitely drop everything and come here first, but by then Xiong Ming might already be dead.

"No, we'll fight this monster. Brother Xiong isn't dead yet. As long as we can take down this giant lizard and get him to the hospital, he can still be saved."

This reflects a different attitude within the team. Most of these people are close to Captain Xiong. Xiong Ming is usually approachable and treats them well, so many people regard him as their elder brother.

Seeing Xiong Ming being tortured by the Caesar monitor lizard, coupled with Xiong Ming's heroic sacrifice, these people immediately became enraged and determined to fight it to the death.

Someone shouted angrily, "Bastards, do you want our captain to have sacrificed himself in vain?!"

Others retorted loudly: "A bunch of cowards! If they want to run, they can run! We're going to fight them to the death!"

Both sides stuck to their own version of events and neither was willing to back down. Xiong Ming had already fainted due to excessive blood loss, but his two arms were still tightly wrapped around the neck of the Caesar lizard, refusing to let go.

Wu Song was caught between the two groups of people, at a loss. He had only been there for a few months and was even more of a novice than the newcomers. He had no right to speak at all.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Wu Song, standing to the side, saw things most clearly. If this pointless argument continued, no one would escape, and everyone would die here.

Seeing the situation clearly is one thing, but being able to stop them is another. Even if he sees it clearly, he has no way to break the current situation.

The Caesar monitor lizard took it all in, a slight smile playing on its lips.

It is indeed not weak in terms of intelligence. It can roughly understand what these people's behavior means, just like when it slaughtered a group of monkeys before, some wanted to escape, and some wanted to stay and fight to the death.

The farcical spectacle continues, this time with the Caesar monitor lizard making the choice for them.
