The saber-toothed tiger took Li Xiao and ran back to the fork in the passage before stopping.

After discovering that Gu Malu had not caught up, Li Xiao felt relieved.

But just in case, he still let the tame animals spread out to guard the passage.

Then, he felt completely relieved and began to sit down and rest.

"There are so many ancient Malus, surely they have dug into the ancient Malus' lair again!"

To this day, Li Xiao's mind is still filled with the rustling sound of the ancient Malus moving.

Thinking of those densely packed legs, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"That big centipede looks really penetrating..."

Speaking of which, although the individual strength of the creatures in this hole is not high, each creature has the same very disgusting skill.

Spiders spin silk, giant scorpions spit poisonous tails, and ancient millipedes spit acid...

Even the weakest clawed bat carries a very powerful virus - rabies - on its claws and teeth!

It is not an ordinary rabies like in later generations, but a violent ancient rabies that lasts for a very short time and is highly contagious.

The symptoms of infection with this virus have also been mentioned before - starting with fever, weakness and then coma and respiratory failure.

Without antiviral drugs, this potent rabies would kill Li Xiao within an hour!

Li Xiao did have an anti-viral potion in his inventory, which he made before he visited the southern cave last time.

After all, the materials for making this potion were too rare, and he only had this amount.

The production of this antiviral potion mainly requires the use of two raw materials, rare flowers and rare mushrooms.

The rare flower is a light blue plant that grows deep in the swamp, and its number is extremely rare.

Li Xiao slaughtered the swamp area several times, but only found a few plants.

The rare mushroom is a kind of mushroom that grows on high mountains. This mushroom often grows next to metal ore and crystal clusters on the top of the mountain.

The quantity, as you can see from the name, is also very rare.

It's so rare that it would be difficult for Li Xiao to make another one...

Fortunately, although Li Xiao was attacked by a clawed bat, he was lucky and the clawed bat that attacked him did not carry the virus.

Only one of the clawed bats occasionally carries the rabies virus. Unlike the ancient monitor lizard, every one of them must carry the virus. If attacked by it, it will be 100% infected.

"By the way, I have never seen an ancient monitor lizard. There should be this creature in this cave. Why haven't I seen it until now?"

Li Xiao was thinking wildly when he suddenly felt a numbness on the back of his neck...

When I touched it subconsciously, I felt a sticky feeling.

He stretched out his palms in front of his eyes and saw that his hands were full of blood!

My own blood!

Severe pain on the back of his neck followed one after another, and Li Xiao immediately reacted - there was a creature behind him, and he was attacked!

Without looking back, he rolled forward.

While rolling, he already held the machete in his hand, and at the same time called the domesticated creatures on the side to come to the rescue.

Li Xiao's voice made the velociraptors and saber-toothed tigers nearby react immediately.

Two saber-toothed tigers immediately stood behind Li Xiao. They stared at the top of the stone wall, baring their teeth and making ferocious sounds.

The Velociraptor also stepped forward, staring at the figure above...

Li Xiao was attacked by surprise, and the loyal domesticated creatures were extremely angry.

But they were angry. Seeing the creature climbing on the high top, they really had nothing to do.

Li Xiao turned around and followed their gazes to look at the creature that sneaked up on him.

"Damn, I have such a crow's mouth!"

After seeing clearly the creature that sneaked up on him, Li Xiao cursed loudly.

He saw a huge creature almost two meters long crawling above the stone wall where he had been sitting just now - a creature with rough skin and an appearance that looked like a lizard-like creature magnified dozens of times!

I saw it climbing on the top of the cave, confronting Li Xiao's tame animals, with a fierce look in its eyes...

In its half-open mouth, a long tongue kept spitting out!

It was Li Xiao who Tu was attacking with this long tongue just now!

"Have I opened my mouth? Cao Cao will be there when he says that Cao Cao is here!"

Li Xiao had a bitter look on his face and recognized the creature immediately.

The name of this creature, he was chanting just now - ancient monitor lizard!

This ancient lizard-like creature is the cave's most skilled hunter, climbing the walls like a gecko and doing so silently.

This is also the reason why Li Xiao didn't discover it for a long time.

The wound on the back of his neck was bleeding, and Li Xiao quickly pressed it tightly with a piece of cloth.

This ancient monitor lizard is crawling on the roof of the cave, and neither the velociraptor nor the saber-toothed tiger can attack it.

However, Li Xiao has a long-range attack weapon - a crossbow!

With his left hand on the back of his neck, his right hand took out the crossbow from the inventory - and aimed it at the monitor lizard above!

call out!

Pulling the trigger, the arrow hit the giant lizard accurately.

I saw this giant lizard screaming and falling from the top of the cave!

This arrow did not cause it any fatal injury. It fell to the ground and immediately turned over, staring at the creatures surrounding it with a ferocious look on its face.

"Made! If you dare to sneak up on me, you guys, kill it!"

The extremely angry Li Xiao gave an order, and the velociraptors and saber-toothed tigers surrounding the giant lizard pounced on...

The ancient monitor lizard's individual combat effectiveness is not high, and several domesticated creatures are also angry because they did not protect Li Xiao. The result is one can imagine...

Li Xiao quickly looked away——

The scene in front of him was too bloody and violent, and it was really not suitable for his young mind!

The ancient monitor lizard, which had lost its terrain advantage, died soon after. Li Xiao stepped forward and put its broken body into the inventory.

The wound on the back of the neck has stopped bleeding. After all, the tongue of this monitor lizard is not a powerful weapon.

But what hurts Li Xiaodan is that it seems that his bottle of antiviral medicine can no longer be saved.

It had only been a few minutes before he felt a little dizzy.

It was obvious that he had been infected with severe rabies!

Unexpectedly, the first time he met this ancient monitor lizard, it taught Li Xiao a lesson and showed its disgusting aspects vividly——

Sneak attack, virus buff that will be hit after attacking...

Li Xiao took out the anti-viral potion from the inventory and drank it in one gulp.

"It's a big loss. We'll lose a lot when we go to the cave this time!"

Looking at the empty bottle in his hand, Li Xiao's heart was bleeding.

I tamed two saber-toothed tigers with full confidence. I thought I could clear the level this time and get the artifact directly, but I didn’t expect it... I didn’t expect it...

Not to mention artifacts, not even a treasure chest has been found so far!

On the other hand, on my side, I was chased by Gu Malu, Er Miao was injured, and then I wasted a bottle of extremely difficult to make potion...

"I can't believe it, there are so many ancient millipedes on this road!"

Li Xiao also stepped forward with determination, leading the Velociraptor and Sabre-toothed Tiger towards the passage on the left.

"I must get the artifact today!"

…

Not long after heading towards the other road, Li Xiao encountered a group of clawed bats.

Taking out a metal spear with a long attack range, Li Xiao led a group of creatures and rushed forward.

He just drank the antiviral medicine and will no longer be infected with the potent rabies virus within a day or two, so he will no longer be afraid of clawed bat attacks!

After a massacre, the clawed bats blocking the way became materials in Li Xiao's inventory...

Without stopping, Li Xiao continued to explore forward.

The road on the left is indeed what Li Xiao said, and the creatures in it all appear from Zatui.

But as long as he doesn't encounter a large number of ancient Malus, Li Xiao has nothing to fear.

Two saber-toothed tigers opened the way in front, two raptors covered the flanks, and Li Xiao waved his machete to assist...

No matter it's a spider, a clawed bat or a giant scorpion, they can't stop them from cooperating with each other tacitly.
To be continued...
