Suddenly, a little lizardman rushed over and grabbed Li Guang's leg: "Grandpa Li Guang, they took my sister..."
"What did they do to Lenia?"
"They took my sister away, and several other people were taken away! Can you save them all?"
Li Guang nodded, "I will. Now everyone follow the instructions I left behind and head to the ground. Everyone on the rescue team is on the ground! Men, take responsibility and protect the women and cubs!"
A lizardman male immediately stood up and said, "We all heard what Master Li Guang said! Let's take action! We were all captured because we were controlled by the enemy's poisonous smoke! Now we have to regain our honor!"
The child holding the bare legs asked curiously: "Aren't you going with us?"
Li Guang: "I want to rescue your sister who was taken away. Don't worry, I will find her soon."
"But you are a monk, not a rogue or ranger!"
Li Guang held up the map given by the king in his hand: "I have this! This is the map given by the Dragon God's messenger. It can lead me to find your sister!"
However, at this time, a lizard man in the room volunteered: "I am a hunter! I can track. Although I can't fight without weapons, I'll leave this to Master Li Guang!"
Li Guang thought about it and nodded: "Alright. The most important quality I learned from the Dragon God Messenger is to make the best use of everyone's strengths. Under his command, Princess Kuosenia, who was originally just a bottle, also killed half of the terrible monsters!"
The child hugging his thigh asked curiously: "What monster?"
Li Guang: "When you reach the ground, you will see the monster's corpse. Let's go!"
He forcibly pulled the child off his legs and handed it to others, then waved to the lizardman who volunteered to help find the taken away tribesmen.
**
On the way of tracking, the lizard man who voluntarily followed suddenly said: "Actually, I like Laniya very much."
It was the female lizardman who was taken away this time.
Li Guang: "Don't let the Dragon God Messenger know this, otherwise he will yell at you to tell him how much you like Laniya and try to quantify it."
The Lizard Hunter asked in confusion: "What is quantitative analysis?"
Li Guang: “It means measuring everything in nature with numbers—that’s what I guess.”
The hunter was shocked: "Isn't that extremely outrageous? Everything in nature is the work of spirits, and it cannot be digitized!"
Li Guang: "He is the Dragon God's messenger. He must have his reasons for doing this, right?"
"That's right... wait a minute!" The hunter suddenly squatted down and picked up a petal from the ground. "This is the petal from Laniya's head. She deliberately left clues for us to find her! What a smart girl!"
Li Guang: "Let's go."
"Yes!"
After a moment, the petals pointing the way disappeared and the two stopped in front of a room.
Li Guang checked the map in his hand and found out how to open the door of the room - all of this was written on the map, making it seem like the cult was not actually familiar with this place and needed to make various records on the map to remind everyone how to open the door.
He opened the door.
Chapter 172 Li Guang realized the extraordinary
Seeing the scene inside the door, Li Guang felt that his newly improved mind was being tested.
The lizardmen in the room were all tied up, with a hole in their left skulls, and some kind of parasite growing on the exposed cerebral cortex above the hole.
The lizardman hunter who led the way was about to follow Li Guang into the house, but was stopped by Li Guang: "Don't look!"
But the hunter had already seen it. He opened his mouth wide: "What is this? What is this?"
Then he grabbed Li Guang's hand and said, "Tell me! What is this!"
Li Guang replied in a low voice: "They are our compatriots."
At this time, Laniya, who was fixed on the shelf, spoke in a dreamy tone: "Is it... Master Li Guang?"
Li Guang said in a kind tone, as if a grandfather was talking to his granddaughter: "Yes."
Laniya: "I...I can't see anymore, and your voice is so far away. I feel like I'm not myself anymore."
Li Guang looked at the neatly cut circular wound on Laniya's head and said softly, "Maybe the king... the Dragon God Messenger will have a way."
Laniya's skin twitched slightly. This was the lizard man's "laugh": "Master is still so bad at lying. I'm hopeless, right?"
Li Guang did not see the scene when Wang and others checked the "slaves" who were standing still, but he got the answer by instinct.
After all, these lizardmen, whether it's the wounds that reveal the gray, wrinkled skin, or the parasites that look like barnacle larvae, don't look particularly good.
The hunter who led the way knelt down and grabbed Li Guang's calf: "Master! Save Laniya!"
Li Guang was silent.
Hunter: "Master!"
Li Guang: "I can try to inject a little bit of penetrating energy into this parasite, but..."
He stopped and looked at the "barnacles" that had already penetrated into the roots of the gray cortex. After a brief hesitation, he said, "At least give it a try. I've seen some puppets on the ground that stopped after we killed all the enemies. I think you might become that kind of thing in the future. So why not let me give it a try."
Laniya: "Yeah. I... I don't know if I nodded, or if my words turned into sounds. Maybe even you, Master, are just a figment of my imagination."
Li Guang: "I..."
The hunters kept saying, "It's not imagination, we are not imagining!"
Laniya: "The sound is starting to get blurry. Are these all just hallucinations?"
"Master!" the hunter pleaded loudly.
Li Guang: "People who are in a dream cannot distinguish between dreams and reality. No matter how much you emphasize that we are not illusions, it will be useless. Because to her, the illusion will continue to emphasize that it is real."
As he spoke, Li Guang slowly raised his hand and placed it on the "barnacle".
The parasite sensed external stimulation and immediately began to twitch, and Lanya also twitched violently.
Li Guang silently activated the penetrating force, and a soft light rose from his dantian and poured into the "barnacles" through his arms.
The barnacle swelled up immediately. As a living creature, it almost instinctively sensed the approach of death and began to struggle.
However, this was useless. For the monk who had already comprehended the highest state of mind, a mere parasite could not resist the death caused by the penetrating force!
Li Guang: "You are already dead."
The parasite exploded in his palm, and the part that was inserted into the gray-white leather was completely destroyed.
Then what Li Guang worried about happened.
The power of the penetrating force was transmitted to Lanya.
The next moment, the eggs that had not yet been transformed into "eggs" spurted out from the hole at the base of her tail and fell to the ground. This should be the action of the body desperately trying to leave offspring after realizing that life was coming to an end - lizardmen can also conceive outside the body, but the probability is much lower.
Especially when the eggs are not fully mature.
Maybe it was because Li Guang didn't use his full strength, or maybe it was because the power was transmitted from another creature after all, anyway, Lania's body did not explode, but collapsed weakly and turned into a piece of rag hanging on the restraints.
Her head completely lost its support and drooped down, and the juice formed by the explosion of the parasite just now flowed out of the hole and mixed with the eggs on the ground.
The hunter lay on the ground, howling loudly. It was obvious that there were other factors besides courage that prompted him to volunteer to find Lanya.
Li Guang was feeling all of this at this time.
"Life and death are impermanent," he murmured, "life and death are impermanent, smoke and clouds disperse, the world's vanity will eventually return to silence. Master, I finally understand."
Li Guang's body was quietly coated with a layer of brilliance that was imperceptible unless you looked closely.
Moreover, Li Guang seemed to be floating. Although his feet were still on the ground, he gave people the feeling of floating on the ground.
When a monk "attains enlightenment", he will become a creature that transcends the mundane world. All spells targeting "humanoid creatures" will be ineffective against monks in this state. Only spells specifically targeting extraordinary creatures can effectively kill monks in this state.
The fists of a monk at this level can break armor that would otherwise require refined gold.
Li Guang looked at other members of the same tribe.
He raised his hand and shouted, "Carry!"
The energy swept over everyone's head.
All the "barnacles" exploded at the same time.
At the same time, all the lizardmen's bodies lost strength, their heads drooped, and the remains of broken parasites flowed out of the holes in their skulls.
However, this time it was not white juice. After all, the monk did not use the penetrating force to completely destroy the parasite, so the long "roots" of the parasite were relatively well preserved.
Li Guang: "Stand up! Warriors! Keep this hatred in mind! Remember! Our enemy is the cult! The Savior Team is here to find trouble with the mastermind behind this!"
The hunter howled to the sky; that was the ancient war cry of the Lizardmen tribe.
Then he stood up and began to dance the pre-hunting war dance in front of the corpses of his fellow tribesmen.
Even though Li Guang had already joined the monastery and entered the realm of transcendence, he still jumped up with the hunter now - after all, before he became a monk, he had once been the warrior-chief of the entire village.
Li Guang and his hunters danced an ancient war dance in a huge laboratory!
Then, more Lizardmen joined!
It turned out that they heard the war cry and came here!
Many young lizardmen joined the war dance, followed by female lizardmen!
The lizardmen followed Li Guang and formed a circle in the laboratory, marching in rhythmic steps and roaring loudly.
The roar sounded like war drums.
Their emotions, their obsession with revenge, are all integrated into their footsteps and roars!
Suddenly, Li Guang shouted, "Kill the cult!"
The other lizardmen shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Chapter 173 The sudden increase in the number of members of the rescue team
This is the king.
When Marika killed those "walking dead", she also captured a few cult members hiding in the corner - it seems that the cult is not a monolithic entity, and there are also some slackers who just do their job.
Now these hooligans are the source of intelligence.
These scoundrels were no ambiguity. They confessed everything before Marika was even tortured, including the locations of the cult's other bases in the river countries and the cult's "foreign headquarters" in Catalonia.
The only regret is that these people are the "periphery" of the cult.
