On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 429 Calling on Friends to Take Revenge

"spread."

Before Xu Hui could finish speaking, they instinctively dodged to the side.

The fire that was burning was extinguished in an instant by the foul-smelling wind.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves and fell onto the platform they had carved out outside the cave.

A huge lizard, almost as tall as an adult male, was standing outside, staring at them menacingly.

It was holding a backpack in its front paws.

It was the one that attacked from the outside just now.

The team members all hid. It grabbed a backpack, mistaking it for a person, and quickly returned to the outside of the cave, tearing the backpack apart with a single paw.

This is a lizard with a brain.

The team members were all a bit confused.

They didn't know why the lizards would attack them out of the blue.

Moreover, such a big lizard, how many years has it lived?

"They've come to avenge their family, haven't they?"

Jiang Tang spoke up and slowly walked out from the side, her gaze fixed on the large lizard outside.

"You want to avenge your family? Aren't you afraid of losing your life too?"

She was talking to the lizard as if she were a human.

Deng Ping leaned closer to Jiang Tang, "A relative of the one in the lake?"

"Ah."

"They really came for revenge."

Deng Ping spoke up.

The others held guns and aimed them at the lizard at the cave entrance.

If it comes back in, they won't be polite.

The lizard at the cave entrance has lived for over a hundred years. Although it hasn't become a spirit, it still senses danger.

It looked around the cave, its unusually large eyes darting about, and then suddenly turned and left.

This action confused everyone present.

Xu Hui asked Jiang Tang, "What does this lizard want to do?"
"Let's launch a sneak attack while we're asleep in the middle of the night."

Deng Ping answered.

Jiang Tang clicked her tongue, "As expected, you understand them better."

Others might not understand the meaning behind those words, but Deng Ping understood it perfectly.

She was furious and embarrassed, "Don't compare me to these beasts."

Even at her worst, she was still a rabbit who had lived in the spirit world for over three hundred years, possessing intelligence and the ability to cultivate. She was far superior to these ignorant and foolish beasts in this world.

Jiang Tang didn't mind at all; she was quite happy after her little prank.

Deng Ping went inside to rest in a huff, while Jiang Tang stayed behind to discuss the night watch with Xu Hui and the others.

Zhang Guangming stepped forward and picked up his own.

This backpack is made of military-grade workwear fabric, which is much thicker than ordinary fabrics on the market.

Even a backpack like this can be torn apart by a lizard's claws, which shows how terrifying its strength is.

If it catches a person, it will probably tear them in two.

This made Xu Hui and his team more vigilant when arranging night shifts.

Last night they took turns working one person per shift, but tonight it will probably be three people per shift.

After all, there was such a powerful lizard watching them from the shadows.

Jiang Tang offered to help join the night watch, but Xu Hui declined.

It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't use the seven male comrades, but instead arranged for Jiang Tang, a female comrade, to take the position.

"But you guys are really not as good as me."

Jiang Tang spoke frankly.

Xu Hui...

There was a slight awkwardness, but what Jiang Tang said was true.

"Then Comrade Jiang, you should rest first. We will let you know when we need your help."

"Ok."

Jiang Tang compromised.

Let them take over the night watch.

Xu Hui immediately made the arrangements.

As planned, the three of them took turns guarding the area.

Actually, there's no need to be too nervous in the first half of the night, because Jiang Tang thinks that the lizard will definitely make its move in the second half of the night, probably before dawn.

People were most tired and listless at that time. It was just the right time for it to take action.

Therefore, those on duty during the second half of the night need to be extremely vigilant.

Xu Hui understood this as well.

He decided to lead the team to keep watch for the second half of the night.

However, knowing that a powerful enemy might attack at any time, no one slept soundly during the first half of the night.

I stayed up until the early hours of the morning, under intense mental pressure.

In a daze, I heard a heavy rain, lightning, and thunder outside.

Wrapped in a blanket and leaning against the mountain wall, Jiang Tang opened her eyes the instant the cold wind blew in.

Deng Ping, who was next to her, also opened her eyes.

Jiang Tang detected the lizard's presence nearby from the fishy smell emanating from the air.

Deng Ping, on the other hand, reacted to the rabbit's instinctive reaction to danger, which made her open her eyes.

"coming."

The two spoke at the same time.

Those who weren't already sound asleep opened their eyes instantly upon hearing Jiang Tang and the others' voices.

Jiang Tang stood up, wrapped in a blanket, and fiddled with the crossbow on her wrist.

Xu Hui and the others also stood up warily.

The gun was already loaded.

Jiang Tang spoke up again, "Quite a few people have come."

Everyone? ? ?

A lizard that stands up to the size of an adult man is frightening enough.

There are quite a few of them. Will they suffer losses?

Everyone felt a little apprehensive.

They all looked out of the cave with solemn expressions.

Lightning struck outside the cave, and thunder roared overhead, as if it would split the mountain in two.

The booming sound made people's ears ring.

Jiang Tang drew a military dagger.

She also told Deng Ping to pull out her dagger.

Another thunderclap rang out.

A figure rushed in from outside.

"boom."

The bullet struck the lunging body, the impact knocking it back several steps before it crashed heavily to the ground.

As lightning struck, a lizard, about a meter long, could be seen lying on the ground, struggling for its life.

It wasn't the one that came at night.

There were other helpers.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when, from the cave entrance, countless sounds like iron plates scraping against the walls rang out.

Looking closely outside, wow, dozens of monitor lizards were crawling densely on the platform outside the cave.

Did they disturb the lizard's lair?
Does the other side intend to fight them to the death?

"Don't panic, everyone," Xu Hui said. "Protect Comrade Jiang and Comrade Deng."

If all these lizards rush in, even if they are all excellent marksmen, it's inevitable that some will be missed.

You must never let them hurt the women.

Although Xu Hui felt that Jiang Tang might not need their protection, whether she needed it or not was irrelevant to whether they did it or not.

Suddenly, a shrill hiss echoed in the air, and the group of lizards on the platform outside the cave, as if receiving a military order, rushed into the cave together.

Gunshots rang out.

The lizards that rushed in fell one after another, but the lizards behind still showed no sign of stopping.

They rushed into the cave one after another, looking both frantic and tragic.

The air was filled with the stench of blood.

Deng Ping leaned closer to Jiang Tang and whispered to her, "Are these lizards really from this forest?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, waiting for Deng Ping to continue.

Don't you think they're strange?

"Putting aside whether their species can even grow in this forest, isn't their vengeful and frenzied behavior a bit too abnormal?"

Deng Ping couldn't understand how a lower life form could have such a clever brain.
