Niu Jingang hurried back to the campfire and greeted Shi Manshan in a low voice.
"There's something going on in the valley, come and take a look!"
Shi Manshan said very little. When he heard this, he opened his eyes and was obviously startled, a little confused.
Seeing that Niu Jingang was a little anxious, he quickly got up and followed closer to the entrance of the valley to check.
"Aren't these the fog world? Why are they still running out?"
Xu Yan was very curious beside him, "Will Shiwandashan secretly expand its territory?"
Shi Manshan glanced at him and was too lazy to answer. Instead, he looked up at the sky.
"Tonight is a full moon night!" Shi Manshan frowned and said solemnly: "Stand back!"
"On a full moon night, the mist will expand, and the living creatures inside will become restless. Be careful, something may come out and attack people!"
Xu Yan blinked and became even more curious: "It sounds like the tide!"
"But why don't the things inside usually come out? The living creatures in the Hundred Thousand Mountains must be more ferocious than outside, right? They are not allowed to kill indiscriminately when they come out?"
Niu Jingang was almost amused by Xu Yan's appearance, but Shi Manshan said impatiently with a tigerish face: "The mist itself also restricts the living creatures inside, and it plays the role of isolating the two worlds."
"This is a weak point. In those large areas of fog, even if a master warrior enters, it will be no different than drowning. There is no way to break in at will."
"When the moon is full, the fog expands, and the fog becomes thinner and the restrictive effect weakens, so the things inside will come out! Stand back!"
"Oh!" Xu Yan withdrew his eager feet and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Shi really knows a lot!"
"In this case, something will come out of there. Should we make some preparations in advance?"
Shi Manshan looked over and finally said in a low voice: "I don't know."
"Brother Niu, let's inform a few of them and let's be on guard in case anything goes wrong."
"As for Doctor Xu, for the sake of safety, you should hurry back to the tent, lest we really take action later, we may not be able to take care of you."
Xu Yan said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter, it's just an opportunity. Let me see what's inside."
"Perhaps there is something that can be used as medicine. It would be a pity if you destroy it by then!"
"Whatever!" Shi Manshan hummed softly and stopped talking to Xu Yan.
Niu Jingang nodded to Xu Yan, turned around and called Ergou Laosan.
"Brother Manshan, the four of us can handle it, right?"
Niu Jingang came back and explained: "If it doesn't work, let Honglian and the others come over to help."
Shi Manshan nodded, staring at the slowly spreading mist, silent.
The mist continued to spread. Although it was very slow, it could not escape the observation of several people.
The second dog and the third child quickly started to yawn. On the one hand, they were sleepy, but mainly because there was no movement, and it was very boring to watch.
Soon Niu Jingang Manshan also lost interest. Niu Jingang couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Brother Manshan, if it is just the spread of fog caused by the full moon, will it have no impact?"
"It's possible. It depends on whether there is anything in the fog."
"Did you have anything when you came here before?" Xu Yan asked coldly.
"No...we have never gone in." Shi Manshan turned to look at Xu Yan strangely, "We just investigated and knew that there is probably a road here."
"Oh, I just asked casually!" Xu Yan smiled.
"..." Shi Manshan was silent, the sharpness in his eyes flashing away.
But just as he was about to say something, the mist spread suddenly faster, and a hissing sound came from deep in the mist, accompanied by the sound of rustling on the ground.
"Coming!" Niu Jingang and Shi Manshan suddenly became alert and shouted in a low voice.
Ergou and Laosan were startled and looked curiously into the mist, but Xu Yan had already frowned.
He had vaguely seen a few strange smells in the mist, which were gray-red in color, but seemed to be a bit big?
It seems that the evil level of this thing is actually close to that of blood worms, but is this head too big? What on earth is it!
"Come out!" Ergou excitedly clenched the knife in his hand and shouted in a glare.
At this time, everyone could already see the vague figure in the fog, walking on the ground one by one, spitting out long tongues, and rushed to the edge of the fog!
"Lizard? How come it's so big!" Niu Jingang was also surprised when he saw the true identity of these things.
"These are still small!" Shi Manshan retreated upon seeing this, "Stay away from them!"
"If they don't attack, try not to provoke them. This thing has thick leather armor and the mucus it spits out is highly poisonous. Be careful!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, several lizards suddenly accelerated their speed, swung their long tails close to the mist, and jumped up directly towards the nearest Niu Diamond Manshan and the two.
"What a beast, you're not slow!" Niu Jingang shouted and swung out the short knife in his hand, standing on the lizard's belly with a huge force!
This position should be considered a weak point, but the strange thing is that these lizards also have a layer of cuticle on their abdomens, which is very stiff!
The chopped lizard was not injured at all, and it only made an angry hissing sound when it rolled over on the ground.
This time he stirred up a hornet's nest. Although Shi Manshan didn't take any action and just avoided the lizard that attacked him, the lizards behind him were all annoyed and ejected at extremely fast speeds!
Shi Manshan frowned when he saw this, seeming to blame Niu Jinjiang for his recklessness, but Niu Jinjiang asked Ergou and the two to step back, turned around and said with a smile: "The conventional name for this thing is skink, which is not worthy of its name!"
"I think they should be called skinks. Maybe they are good at fighting fire with fire!"
"But Brother Niu, please be careful. I think this thing is very difficult and big, so I just need to keep a few of them!"
"Okay!" Niu Jingang said with a smile: "Then let me see where their weaknesses are. They can't be covered in leather armor!"
As he spoke, he took his two dogs and his third son, and each began to fend off the lizards that were charging forward.
Shi Manshan was a little dissatisfied, frowning and said: "Just stop them, don't be contaminated with venom or blood, otherwise they will leave a smell, and we will not be able to see the Mist Valley tomorrow!"
"Okay, no problem!" Niu Jinjiang didn't think much and responded with a smile.
The four of them then started punching, kicking, and smashing the backs of their swords. Anyway, they had one purpose: to knock all these things back into the mist.
The leather armor of these things was indeed very solid and could not be broken easily with the blade of a knife, let alone the back of the knife with fists and feet. They were beaten for a while and screamed, but not many of them were injured at all.
Xu Yan took the opportunity to observe Shi Manshan's move. He always felt that something was strange, but for a while he couldn't see any clues.
Shi Manshan was obviously more wary of these lizards than Niu Jingang and the others. He dodged while attacking, seemingly unwilling to confront each one head-on.
After a period of chaotic blows, Shi Manshan suddenly dodged and attacked to the side. Unfortunately, he just avoided a slightly larger lizard, and the direction of the attack of this guy was towards Xu Yan!
"Doctor Xu, get out of the way!" Shi Manshan looked stunned for a moment before exclaiming.
The positions of Shi Manshan and others happened to be a little far away from Xu Yan. This timing was very unfavorable for Xu Yan...
Xu Yan secretly raised his eyebrows. He was just a doctor on the surface, how could he hide?
If you really want to dodge, it will be all in vain. If you don't dodge, will you have to resist this big lizard?
Xu Yan was a little confused and looked in the direction of Shi Manshan. He had some doubts that this guy did it on purpose, but there was no evidence.
At this moment, Shi Manshan, like Niu Jingang and the others, opened the lizards in front of them and rushed to Xu Yan to help. It seemed that there was no problem.
However, their position was a little too late. It seemed that Xu Yan would either take action or be knocked down and bitten...
But Xu Yan seemed to be really frightened, motionless, only panicked.
Niu Jingang and others were anxious. At this time, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air. Amidst two blows, the big lizard that had jumped in front of Xu Yan was directly knocked away!
Shi Manshan suddenly turned around and saw Hong Lian rushing over, shooting a dart from a distance!
However, he didn't react too much. He quickly approached and asked with concern: "Doctor Xu, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you scared me, thanks to Honglian's timely appearance!" Xu Yan looked frightened.
Niu Jingang and others were speechless, thinking to themselves, Doctor Xu, how can you be so good at pretending? You don't even take action in this situation, but you can really keep your composure!
But before they could say anything more, the group of lizards suddenly roared, as if they were stimulated by the dead lizards. They shook their heads and tails and stuck out their tongues wildly, gathered in a semicircle and began to approach slowly!
